I can't stay here any longer, it seems I have to leave.
So he picked up the bag next to him and slipped out early in the morning.
"Hey, where are you going? I heard there's a dinner party in the palace today."
What, dinner party?
He was thinking of leaving quickly, but he didn't expect that there would be a dinner party in the palace... It seemed that he couldn't leave.
"Go out... go out for a walk."
"Well, the person who just announced it is here. His Majesty has personally called you over. As for the badge for entering the palace, it's here. Just take it."
"good."
Dongfang took the sign and fiddled with it for a while, thinking it was pretty good looking, so he put it in his arms and left. He had originally planned to walk around the city, but after thinking about it, he just flew up.
Go to the palace.
On the other hand, he went to the cold palace to visit the group of women who wanted to murder him. Damn it, they actually dared to suddenly seal the well for him that day. How dare they?
And the cold palace.
They heard that a grand banquet was going to be held in the palace, and that the host was the emperor... They were a little suspicious. No, the emperor hadn't entered this well...
Wait, if they come out, it means there must be something mysterious under the well.
So they struggled to move the stones above and jumped in, but found that the winding exit was behind a door. Naturally, the people below went straight inside.
Just then.
"What are you doing at this well? Back off immediately! His Majesty is summoning you!"
The group of people standing at the wellhead paused, then quickly reacted and followed.
Since it's a summons, it must be nothing good. Maybe something happened?
Wait a minute... They are the culprits who sealed the well. I was afraid they would come to punish me, so I jumped into the well while the guard turned around.
When I came down, I saw a different world.
"Didn't I tell you to watch from up there? Why did you come down here?"
"Look at the devil, do you know that someone is coming up here to investigate? Run quickly, if you get caught, you will die."
But... do they really think that they can avoid death by running away?
That's impossible.
So they did run towards the back mountain, and then they made the road wide on both sides so that they could walk on each side. When they were about to say goodbye, they remembered that they had no money at all.
No job, no money, this outcome is really... miserable.
At the same time, on the other side, Zhao Xin was sitting in this side hall watching the people they started to report, but after waiting for a long time, he found that two were missing. He could no longer bear it and asked them to send someone down to investigate.
As a result, it was discovered that they had run away.
When the emperor heard the news, he looked even more confused, and even a little angry.
"Run away?"
"Your Majesty, these two have escaped."
"Where did you run away?"
"The wellhead... When we went down to investigate, we found the exit but no one was there. They must have run away."
This person's emotions easily fluctuate when he gets angry. When his emotions fluctuate, his internal strength will also fluctuate to varying degrees. So this time, his anger caused damage to several collections.
Bang.
He slammed his hand on the table, causing Xiao Chenzi next to him to shrink his head like a quail and not dare to look up at all, while those below him knelt down and dared not to stand up.
"Running away from the crime...good."
When everyone below heard what the emperor said, they felt like their entire worldview collapsed. Could it be that he could just escape casually?
If that's the case, can I...
"Send someone to capture them. If we can't catch them, we'll behead you and yourselves as a warning to the public. Those two probably can't get far in this imperial city. Search them!"
As Zhao Xin sat on the dragon throne, the dragon's breath in the room gradually began to spread. The group of palace maids and eunuchs also lowered their heads and could not lift them up at all. It must be said that the pressure was too heavy.
"Damn it, as for you guys... tell the truth."
Tell the truth and you will die faster. If you don’t tell the truth, you will die.
"Your Majesty... We... We are innocent. What does it have to do with us if they flee out of fear of punishment?"
What for?
This is a big deal with you!
"What? Are you sure you didn't do anything? Well, bring the witnesses here. If you two tell even a shred of lies, I'll execute you."
It’s best for two people to chop it together.
After hearing this, the man who had confidently said that he was fine at the beginning panicked and looked up at the girl opposite him nervously.
There was no other way. Right now, I had to rely on cooperation. What if the other party didn't cooperate with me? Could it be that this maid was planning to drag me to be buried with her? That would be too tragic.
So after asking a few questions.
The maid answered all the questions without changing her expression, while the queen stumbled and even trembled a little.
Zhao Xin understood, so he retracted some of the dragon breath, and sure enough, his speech became much smoother this time.
But this time, Zhao Xin became suspicious.
Why did this maid's expression not change and her heart didn't even beat?
It’s so stable.
It's not easy to find a maid like this.
"What's your maid's name?"
"Your Majesty, this maid's name is Xiao Cui."
This name goes well with this dress.
Xiao Cui…the eyes that can recognize people.
【Xiao Cui】
Machiavellianism: 70
Commander: 50
War: 40
Ambition: 40
Loyalty: 40
He was overthinking it. He had originally thought he could unearth a rare talent, but this was it… Never mind, just pretend he hadn't said anything. This guy was just of average quality.
Since it's not one of those things, it seems like he's an expert. He's a habitual liar, or perhaps he does it so often that he feels comfortable speaking.
"Your maid has an unusual background..."
The man was afraid that the emperor would find out, so he knelt down and begged for mercy.
"This maid came from the Empress Dowager. Your Majesty, please do not be suspicious of me because of this!"
The maid from the Queen Mother's side?
No wonder he is so stable. Even a willful queen mother can be served so well. She has to take him with her even when she goes to the cold palace. It shows how much of a role he plays now.
But... if that's the case, then all the maids under the Empress Dowager will gradually be assigned to this group of people.
Why?
He was a little skeptical.
After all, how could he not have food to eat next to the Queen Mother?
He remembered that he had checked before, but found nothing. However, this time he planned to investigate thoroughly, so he did not use the resources of the Military Affairs Office.
It's useless. It's a waste to ask him about the palace's affairs.
The group of people at the palace gate were all shrewd men. When the emperor came, they were not stupid either. They thought they had to take action against them one by one.
"It's over... I'm afraid things are going to get tough here."
"Who told you to bother the Queen Mother? Even though she's not favored, she's still His Majesty's mother. Look, we're all finished now!"
They were anxious, but there was no way to run away.
