famous eldest daughter

534 Theft
Not knowing what Gongsun Qi said to the queen, Xiao Yi's mind turned over and over when he saw the emperor's expression of worry. Could it be that the incident at the palace gate had reached his father's ears, and his father was unhappy about it?
Her lips pursed slightly, and after careful consideration, she finally opened her mouth.

"I don't know if Gongsun Qi is interested in my fourth brother. However, since she has become my princess, I will definitely remind you of her words and deeds in the future. If I bumped into you today, I will apologize to you on her behalf. After all, everyone It’s all a family.”

Xiao Yi's words can be said to be brilliant.

Not only did he not admit Gongsun Qi's concern for Xiao Yu, but he also showed his generosity, which can be regarded as a deep scheming move.

However, the emperor had already had preconceptions in his mind, and he firmly believed that Gongsun Mu had played a trick on the marriage between Xiao Yi and Gongsun Qi.

Hearing Xiao Yi's words again at this moment, deep suspicion could not help but appear in his eyes... Did Yi'er know something before?Otherwise, after hearing Gu Yuqing's words, not only was he not angry, but he acted like this... It was really abnormal.

The emperor claimed to understand Xiao Yi's temperament, but he would never be able to rub a grain of sand into his eyes.

What's more, no man would be able to tolerate this kind of thing. How could someone as proud as Xiao Yi not take it seriously?

Once suspicion arises, it is difficult to completely eliminate it.

It's just that today, after all, is the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, and there is really no need to disturb everyone's mood for these things.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Just as the emperor was about to speak to clear up the matter and announce that the banquet was officially open, a young chamberlain stumbled in from the outside with a panicked look on his face, shouting, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... It's not good, Your Majesty." …”

The waiter's voice was sharp and filled with panic. In addition, he stepped forward with one foot onto the threshold, but the other foot did not follow. He fell straight to the ground. When he stood up again, he could see that there were holes in his nostrils and corners of his mouth. Drops of red blood rolled down.

All the concubines immediately felt their scalps numb and had goosebumps all over their bodies.

In the main hall, there was already a dignified atmosphere, but because of his sudden appearance, it became even more bloody and heavy.

The chamberlain didn't care about the pain in his nose and face from the fall just now. He raised his sleeves and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and under his nose, staggering straight towards the emperor.

His face was originally pale from running so fast, but as soon as he wiped it off, the blood immediately spread across half of his face, which made people feel horrified.

After finally stumbling to a place a few feet away from the emperor's seat, his knees weakened and he knelt down, "Your Majesty, something happened over there in Fengning!"

As soon as the word Feng Ning came out, Gu Yuqing raised her eyes quietly and looked straight at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi, who was originally immersed in the Gongsun Qi incident just now, suddenly jumped in the corner of his eyes, staring at Xiao Yi's trembling cheekbone muscles, Gu Yuqing could even see his breath stagnant.

When the emperor suddenly heard this, his heart immediately froze. He seemed not to hear clearly, but he couldn't help but raise his voice, "What did you say?"

The little chamberlain's voice was filled with tears and he was out of breath. "Your Majesty, someone from Fengning said something happened to the batch of supplies that will be sent to Liaodong tomorrow."

Regardless of the fact that this was a Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, the little waiter opened his mouth and said, with turbulent fear in his eyes.

Once the supply of materials is insufficient, it is not impossible for Liaodong to lose and the Liao cavalry to sweep across the Central Plains.

The truth that all the chamberlains understood was naturally understood by the concubines and imperial heirs present. Immediately, everyone looked at the emperor with uneasiness as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Gu Yuqing naturally wanted to show panic that was different from others. In the "panic", he "accidentally" knocked over the tea cup in his hand and blurted out, "What happened to the supplies sent to Liaodong?"

Gu Zhen was fighting in Liaodong. As a daughter, her reaction should have been the strongest. Coupled with her deliberate exaggeration, this excitement became even more heartbreaking.

The chamberlain pursed her dry lips, glanced at Gu Yuqing lightly, and traced across Xiao Yu's cheek without leaving a trace. He quickly withdrew his gaze and reported back to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Fengning's guards have entered the palace and are currently in the palace." Waiting outside the palace, you decide whether to announce his entrance or go to the imperial study room to wait for you."

"What time is this? Go to the imperial study room!" The emperor said urgently, "Let him come in quickly!"

It is inappropriate to talk about state affairs at the family banquet, but things should be prioritized.

In the blink of an eye, after the emperor finished speaking, a strong man with a dusty face came in from outside the palace, walked hurriedly to the emperor, kowtowed and saluted, "I am the supervisor of Fengning's supplies, and my crime deserves death..." "

The emperor raised his hand and waved, "Let's get to the point!"

The crime deserves ten thousand death, the crime deserves ten thousand death... This sentence is simply one of the ten most hated words of the Emperor!

Gu Yuqing stared at the warden in front of him with a solemn expression, her lowered eyelashes covering her slightly moving gaze, and she glanced at Xiao Yi from time to time.

He was holding his breath and concentrating, his temples were twitching, and his solemn face was as green as pig iron.

Xiao Yu, who was beside her, looked like an indifferent playboy. Half of his body was leaning on the back of the chair behind him. His whole body gave people the impression that he was not aware of the importance of what was happening at the moment. look.

"Today is the night of reunion. I thought to myself that tomorrow the soldiers will go to the front line to escort supplies, so I gave them a holiday today to let them go back and reunite with their families."

"I personally took my trusted aides and patrolled around the warehouse. At the beginning of Sishi, at the gate of the paddock, a group of people suddenly came beating gongs and drums. They said they heard that they were going to send supplies to Chi Nanhou, and they were willing to donate the rice stored in their homes. .”

"When I heard about it, I was so moved that I immediately recruited people to go to greet them, but it was unexpected. Here, I thanked the villagers at the gate, and there was a warehouse of supplies behind me, and it was stolen."

As soon as the word "theft" came out, Gu Yuqing saw that Xiao Yi's tense face suddenly showed a trace of looseness, and then he let out a breath, leaned back slightly, and leaned on the back of the chair.

"The soldiers guarding the warehouse are all equipped with horns to communicate with each other in emergencies. The horn suddenly sounded, and I immediately led people to rush over. But when I arrived, several soldiers had already fainted on the ground. , the warehouse door is open."

At this point, the warden paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and let out a breath. At the same time, he glanced at Xiao Yu, but in the flash of lightning, he suddenly turned his eyes, and quickly It was impossible to notice the slightest movement he had just made.

The emperor was shocked when he heard this, "What was lost?"

"It's cotton-padded clothes. Three bundles of cotton-padded clothes stored in the warehouse, each with a thousand sets, were lost in total. In addition, four carts of new rice to be sent to the front line were also lost. Not only the rice, but also the rice that was stored there was lost. The car was also lost along with it.”

The warden's face was full of guilt, but perhaps because of his habits on the battlefield, even though he was deeply ashamed, his voice was still loud.

Especially the words "padded clothes" and "new rice" were bitten extremely hard, like a drum, going straight through everyone's hearts and lungs.
