Chapter 281 The Older the Better



The old emperor frowned and looked at Qiu Shanxi, wondering what he was going to do.

Then Qiu Shanxia bowed.

"I was thinking, Your Majesty, please take a look and check if there is any treasure map among these maps!"

"If there is one, I am willing to present the treasure map to His Majesty."

He took a bunch of pictures and let the old emperor choose one himself.

Thinking, if Zhao Jingtian made a mistake in choosing, then it’s not his fault!

The old emperor frowned, feeling a headache looking at so many maps. They all looked alike, yet he felt that none of them were like the one he saw.

Even the father-in-law was watching from the side, somewhat speechless. At this time, he still wanted to do this, did the master think his life was too long?

The master is indeed old and can’t see the situation clearly.

He didn't want Qiu Shanxi to drag him into the water, so he rolled his eyes and blamed her jokingly.

"Master, you too, with these little things, what else do you want His Majesty to choose from?"

Qiu Shanxi was surprised.

Eunuch Lian didn't even look at his expression, but just smiled and said to the old emperor.

"Give them all to His Majesty, and let Him play with them!"

The old emperor's eyes lit up. That's right, if he kept all of them and studied them carefully, would he be afraid that he wouldn't be able to find out which one was the real one?

Qiu Shanxi smiled awkwardly and nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, I don't need these, so I'll give them to His Majesty to play with."

He was a little upset. He had originally thought that he could get the real map back, but now it seemed that he could forget about it.

The old emperor really believed it now. Qiu Shanxi was wrongly accused. He looked at him more gently.

"Since you have entered the palace, come and chat with me."

"Lunch is also in the palace. Come and have it with me."

Qiu Shanxi quickly showed her flattery and nodded repeatedly in gratitude.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am sorry to bother you!"

This matter can be considered real and has been exposed.

"I heard that you have a granddaughter?" the old emperor suddenly asked.

Qiu Shanxi was startled and a little panicked. She nodded quickly.

"That's not bad. You still have a dream! You can also find a live-in son-in-law to take care of you in your old age!"

The old emperor smiled and thought to himself, it would be good if it was a granddaughter. This way, he would feel more at ease.

Qiu Shanxi tried hard to remain calm and clenched his hands tightly. He didn't expect that Zhao Jingtian even knew about Zhou Meir's affairs.

He suddenly began to doubt whether Qian Yucheng had spread the news, because he had only introduced Zhou Meir to Qian Yucheng.

But then he shook his head again.

Because this is of no benefit to Qian Yucheng.

Qiu Shanxi thought a lot and wondered if there were spies from other people in his house!

If he can return safely today, we must investigate thoroughly.

On this day, the old emperor and Qiu Shanxi were chatting about everything under the sun. They were both filled with emotion when they talked about the things they had experienced together when they were young.

I also feel sad that time flies so fast. They are all old now. It is really a pity that heroes have fallen from grace.

In this way, it was not until it was almost dark that the eunuch Lian reminded him that the palace was about to be locked, and the old emperor allowed Qiu Shanxi to leave the palace.

The old emperor asked Eunuch Lian to personally escort Qiu Shanxi out.

This time, Qiu Shanxi sat in the sedan chair again and was carried out of the palace respectfully.

After Qiu Shanxi left.

The old emperor's face returned to calm. He took out the treasure map that Zhang Meng gave him from the secret compartment and compared it with the pile of maps sent by Qiu Shanxi.

He wanted to find out which picture was real, or whether all the pictures were fake.

At this time, Pan Chen also came back and asked for a meeting outside the door.

The old emperor let him in.

"How's it going? Did you get the stuff?"

Pan Chen bowed.

"Your Majesty, I will not fail you!"

The old emperor raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Very good, get up!"

Pan Chen stood up and took out a small cloth bag from his arms.

Because there was no one else in the study, Pan Chen had to go forward and hand the small cloth bag to the old emperor's desk.

"This is what I found!"

The old emperor took the cloth bag, opened it, and inside was a seal. It was written, "Qiu Mo Bai Yin"!

The old emperor looked at the seal and was very satisfied.

Originally, if Qiu Shanxi dared to do anything today, he would not do anything openly. But behind the scenes, he could use this seal to do many things.

The old emperor looked at it a few more times, then put the seal away. Looking up, he found that Pan Chen had not left yet. He looked hesitant, as if he had something to say.

The old emperor raised his eyebrows.

"Why? You want to say something?"

Pan Chen pursed his lips, then knelt down with his hands clasped.

"In reply to Your Majesty, I do have something else I want to report to Your Majesty."

Seeing how serious he was, the old emperor couldn't help but become curious.

"Okay, you go ahead!"

Pan Chen thought for a moment and said.

"This morning, when I sneaked into the Qiu family, I saw many people in the Qiu residence, anxious to make a map!"

The old emperor was stunned.

"Making a map?"

Pan Chen nodded, "It's very similar to the one on His Majesty's desk! It's also old!"

The old emperor narrowed his eyes and realized that something was wrong. He said coldly.

"Tell me clearly what's going on."

Pan Chen nodded in agreement and quickly told Qiu everything he had seen and heard in the Qiu Mansion.

It turned out that he and Eunuch Lian arrived at the Qiu family at the same time.

Eunuch Lian went to the main gate of Qiu's house and was led to wait in the flower hall. Qiu Shanxi hesitated, saying that she was not feeling well, and made Eunuch Lian wait for half an hour before coming out.

Pan Chen, on the other hand, hid directly in the backyard of the Qiu Mansion.
