Chapter 159 Thirteenth Sister
Coming out of the imperial study, he went straight to the palace armory.
Sui Mo led the way with his head down, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
I'm still a little dazed and can't believe it. His Majesty agreed? He actually agreed so easily...
It was because she understood His Majesty's temperament that she was so shocked and couldn't come out for a while.
Not only her, but also the entire Mo Group of twelve people she led was handed over to His Highness the Sixth Prince?
How can I describe it? It's like a fucking dream.
"What are you doing? Your head is almost in the ground."
Qin Zhaoyue held her hands in her pockets, looking unhappy.
In order to protect someone, I worked for more than two months in vain.
What's wrong with just working without getting paid? It's pure dedication. Who would be happy about that?
Besides, is breaking ink a deception to the emperor? It's all for the sake of completing the task, and in the final analysis, it's all for the sake of doing great things.
Well, I'll just say this from the heart.
This is not an era that emphasizes human rights. The Qingluan Guards are still your Majesty's slaves after all. Concealing anything is a serious crime.
Qin Zhaoyue didn't do it entirely for her.
An advice to raise food and disaster relief funds resulted in a business trip assignment. If he received any reward this time, there was no guarantee that he would be asked to make arrangements to survive, so he might as well use it to exchange for someone else.
I don’t know who is targeting us now. With Qingfeng and Xiyu as the two guys, the guard force of the mansion is indeed a bit weak.
"Your Highness, I..."
"Okay," Qin Zhaoyue waved his hand impatiently.
"There's no need to express gratitude. Instead, you'd better think about how to improve your strength.
Fifth grade, chi… enough for anything. You said so, Huqin."
Broken Ink: ...
"Your Highness, please just call me Sui Mo."
"Okay Huqin, got it Huqin."
Broken Ink: ...
In the imperial study, only Qin Minghuang and Yinzhe were left.
Qin Minghuang frowned and felt a little headache.
There were too many surprises on this trip.
In order to investigate the illegal iron casting case, the heavy cavalry from the northern border were on standby at all times, and she had already arranged for the Xuanji Guard to conduct a secret investigation in the capital.
Although camphor is precious, in addition to being used by the imperial court and given as rewards, it is also circulated in small quantities among wealthy merchants.
But with the clue of the missing finger, it should not be difficult to find him. However, nearly two months have passed and the person has not been found.
Also, the two sorcerers who assassinated the royal heir threatened the leader of Tianyan Sect to intervene, but there has been no news yet.
It is impossible to determine whether these people are a group or each serves a different leader.
In fact, there are other ways to find the missing finger. The warlock's deduction should be of help.
The Ziwei Terrace was originally set up only to contain the Tianyan Sect. Chu Xinglan needed special conditions for his practice, so he accepted this task, but he could not be driven around at will.
What's more, there was a sorcerer causing trouble, so Qin Minghuang did not reveal any clues easily.
And Xiaoliu... after trying it out, his abilities are indeed impressive.
Even if we leave aside the supernatural aspects, his decision-making, response, and courage during the disaster relief and investigation process are even better than Zhao Qiong's.
The most special thing is that she has a sense of the overall situation, even though she has never done any specific tasks. This surprised her.
However, his lazy nature has not changed at all, and he is not sure about the power given to him.
I had read the intelligence long ago, and spent the second half of the trip staying in Prince Rui’s manor, not worrying about anything.
If Zhao Qiong hadn't been traveling with us, it might have been like this from the beginning to the end.
This girl probably understood some of his thoughts. She refused to enter the palace and did not seek credit. Her attitude was very clear.
It is not easy to use her. The only good news is that Zhao Qiong's growth is gratifying, and she is one step closer to becoming a qualified crown prince.
"Oh..." A long sigh sounded in the imperial study.
Yinzhe looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his mouth, standing with his hands hanging down, his eyes gloomy.
I originally thought there was some shocking gossip, but with Xiaoliu's personality, there's no guarantee he would do such a ridiculous thing.
Before the truth was revealed, she had already silently voted for the boys from the Meng and Pei families.
The result was just this? Her emotions were in vain.
"Thirteenth sister, what do you think of Zhao Yue?"
Yinzhe rolled his eyes secretly, "Your Majesty, there is no Thirteenth Sister, I am Yinzhe."
His straight back slumped a little, and Qin Minghuang waved his hand in a somewhat ungraceful manner.
The late emperor had no choice but to pass the throne to her, as almost all the royal heirs were killed or injured at that time.
But he was already at the end of his life and had no time to think about the issue of adopting a child.
She was the oldest of the remaining princesses and already had six children.
The hasty issuance of the will was actually intended to allow her to consolidate the throne and then pass it on to the emperor's grandson.
Only a few people knew that the will was just not finished.
After Qin Minghuang succeeded to the throne, he used thundering means to clear away obstacles. Even the clan with thin blood ties like King Rui was exiled far away.
But in fact, she did leave no one by her side. The one in front of her, code-named Yinzhe, was her thirteenth imperial sister.
A veteran of the Xuanji Guard, he later secretly supervised her as a thousand households.
The bright and beautiful girl who was the most lively and outgoing at that time wore the veil for fourteen years without any change.
"Among my descendants, Xiaoliu's personality is most like yours.
I don’t want to hear clichés, I’ll tell you the truth.”
Like a fart! This time the eye roll wasn’t hidden at all.
Yinzhe thought to herself that she didn't have any such thing, and she didn't dare to fabricate a false auspicious sign.
"Bold but careful, with a clear mind, decisive, and good at using people. He may not seem scheming, but he's quite good at managing his subordinates."
She knew her sister too well, and the matter of broken ink could be a big deal or a small one.
She might be marginalized, but it wouldn't be fatal. He had even planned to assign her to Xiaoliu as a bodyguard.
After all, the guard force of the Sixth Princess's Mansion is like a sieve with holes everywhere, almost non-existent.
Any fourth or fifth rank cultivator could infiltrate it without much effort.
He had to act as if he was going to punish severely, so that Zhao Yue would come forward to protect the person, arouse Sui Mo's gratitude, and thus gain his loyalty.
There is nothing wrong with this method, it is something we are used to.
But what Yinzhe wanted to say was that compared to Xiaoliu's natural relationship, it was far inferior.
She scolds people when she should, cheats people out of their money when she should, and she is dishonest and has no respect for others, but everyone is willing to listen to her.
Let’s not talk about the Mo Group. Do you think the Xuanji Guard is so easy to drive?
Liuyan looks like a playboy, but he is actually very proud inside. He has almost been educated into being submissive.
No matter how much he disliked it, was there anything Xiaoliu asked him to do that he hadn't done?
Haha, it was the three hundred thousand taels. She didn’t know about it until Xiaoliu from Longmen County took it out.
Haha, the righteous Zhao Qiong only reported 200,000 taels, do you dare to believe it?
Liu Yan didn't point it out, not even herself, and tacitly acknowledged that Xiao Liu had embezzled 100,000 taels. God knows why.
Hiss... Thinking of this, Yinzhe was stunned. Should she get some benefits?
Qin Minghuang glared at the person opposite her. He had only good qualities, and the fact that he disobeyed her made her even more uncomfortable.
"Don't just pick out the good things, talk about the shortcomings."
Yinzhe came back to his senses and spoke without thinking:
"Unyielding, lazy, gluttonous, self-willed, greedy, and lustful..."
"Wait a minute!" Qin Minghuang stretched out his hand to stop him. "What do you mean by lustful? Whose lust?"
Yinzhe's eyebrows raised slightly, "You insisted on asking this, I had no intention of telling you."
Qin Minghuang: ...
She is still the same Thirteenth Sister, the one who loves gossip and rumors the most.
"I insisted on asking. I really wanted to know."
Yinzhe shrugged his shoulders, looking as if he couldn't do anything to you, but his eyes were actually shining.
