After Qi Yunxiao and Eunuch Gao left the Marquis' Mansion, they did not rush back to the palace.
He first rested for a few days in the place arranged by Eunuch Gao, and then asked them to pass the news of his return to the palace. Only then did he officially start his journey back.
In the courtyard outside, Eunuch Gao presented him with all the results of his investigation during this period.
It was also at this time that Qi Yunxiao learned the real reason why he was murdered, which was actually very similar to what he had guessed.
"So, those people my father sent to pick me up were just for show? Not only that, but there were also assassins arranged by Qi Zhao mixed in with them? This all went so smoothly." He smiled self-deprecatingly.
"One is my good father, the emperor, who is always partial and turns a blind eye. The other is my good brother, the emperor who wants to kill me with a single blow. Eunuch Gao, what do you think I should do?"
Eunuch Gao: "Your Highness, no matter what you want to do, I will help you."
......
At night, the palace.
Shortly after the emperor finished dealing with the memorial, he went to the queen's bedroom.
When he walked outside the hall and saw the pitch-black silence, his expression darkened.
"Your Majesty, it must be getting late, and the Empress must have gone to bed. Do you need me to go and inform her?" Eunuch Sun asked.
The emperor said coldly, "Go."
After a while, the oil lamps were lit in the dark bedroom, and it became bright.
As soon as they entered the room, the emperor said in a deep voice, "Everyone, get out."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the servants in the room quickly retreated.
Similar scenes would happen several times every year, and everyone knew that in less than a quarter of an hour, the emperor would come out with a gloomy face and leave angrily.
But this time, it seemed different from the previous times.
In short, this time, the emperor stayed in there much longer than before, and when he came out, there was not a trace of displeasure on his face.
Although he still would not spend the night in the queen's bedroom, the atmosphere of this conversation was much gentler than before.
After the emperor left, the nanny hurried in, looked at the queen with concern, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
There was no sign of anything unusual on the queen's face. She just said calmly that she was tired and needed to rest early.
The nanny didn't ask anything, but only told the little maids to clear the teacups more gently and quickly so as not to disturb the Queen's rest.
......
Marquis' Mansion.
Chen Yao was lying on the bed bored and asked the system to check Qi Yunxiao's whereabouts.
Although the system cannot clearly know the specific situation, it can still understand the general situation.
"He will be back at the palace tomorrow, so nothing serious should happen."
"I believe that soon after he returns to the palace, the marriage will be arranged."
"Host, don't worry. Although Qi Yunxiao's career path in this small world will be a bit complicated, it doesn't matter. With the protagonist's halo, I promise that after your wedding, everything will go smoothly."
Chen Yao felt relieved after knowing that everyone was fine.
About half a month later, as the system said, the imperial edict granting the marriage was delivered directly to the Marquis' Mansion.
On this day, the first snow of the year fell.
