The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 176 The Emperor
Xie Zhifei walked out of the yard and found that it was raining lightly.

Pei Xiao came up to greet him, "Have you explained everything?"

Xie Zhifei: "Explained."

Pei Xiao: "Yes?"

Xie Zhifei: "I patted my chest and agreed!"

Pei smiled and nodded, "Let's go!"

The two walked out of Cai's Mansion and got directly into a carriage parked at the door of Cai's Mansion.

Shen Chong was already waiting in the car.

The carriage was running on the deserted bluestone road. Shen Chong hurriedly said in a low voice: "Two gentlemen, Your Highness was called into the palace. Cai Si was also called together."

Xie Zhifei: "Where is Ji Lingchuan?"

Shen Chong: "He is still in prison."

Xie Zhifei: "Have you heard what Qin Qi asked Ji Lingchuan?"

Shen Chong shook his head.

Xie Zhifei frowned: "Then why did Qin Qi come to Beisi in the middle of the night?"

"It's not that I can't find out, it's that Ji Lingchuan seems to be stupid. His eyes are straight. He can't hear anything you ask, and even pinching him hurts."

Shen Chong was worried, "Third Master, what did Miss Yan do to him?"

Xie Zhifei: "Nothing, he just relieved the old lady of her inner demons."

Shen Chong: "Then what is the inner demon of the other half of the old lady of Ji Mansion?"

How can I let you know?

Xie Zhifei glanced at Pei Xiao lightly.

Pei Xiao immediately snorted and said: "You have time to think about this, why not first think about whether your highness's trip is a blessing or a curse!"

"On the other side of the prince..."

Xie Zhifei said calmly, "Are you alarmed?"

Shen Chong said hurriedly: "I dare not inform you, but I will definitely not be able to hide it until dawn."

The carriage was stuffy. Xie Zhifei nodded slightly and unbuttoned his neck, "I wonder what the Emperor's thoughts are on the other side? The Emperor's heart is unpredictable!"

Pei Xiao: "It stands to reason that the old lady's inner demons have been solved, and the Ji family should turn around."

When Shen Chong heard what he said, he hurriedly said: "By the way, Master Pei, Ji Twelve is alive."

Pei Xiao said with a trembling voice: "Seriously?"

Shen Chong: "I heard that Xu Lai was shocked. He thought it was a fake corpse!"

Pei Xiaomei's heart skipped a beat, and she looked towards Xie Zhifei in panic.

Xie Zhifei knew why he was panicking, "My old lady is like this too, she jumps to life after lighting the incense."

Is there really such a god?
Pei Xiao's scalp went numb after hearing this, and he leaned closer to Xie Zhifei.

Xie Zhifei said very calmly: "Shen Chong, it's better to be still than to move now."

"What do you mean, Third Master?"

"The old lady's inner demon has been resolved, but the Ji family's affairs are not settled yet. Why don't we just see if some things are working or not?"

Before Shen Chong could speak, Pei Xiao took the lead: "You still don't believe Yan Sanhe?"

"It's not that I don't believe it."

Xie Zhifei's deep eyes darkened, "It's because we have no way to find out more information now, so we can only place our hope in her."

What was the emperor's purpose in sending Qin Qi to see Ji Lingchuan late at night?

do not know!
How will the emperor deal with Zhao Huairen?
do not know!
Will the emperor send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly?
do not know!
"What we can do now is to rush the carriage to the palace gate and wait for Huairen to come out before making plans."

Xie Zhifei glanced at Shen Chong: "Your master can leave with Qin Qi without saying a word. I guess he has a plan in mind."

……

Zhao Yishi entered from the east gate of the Forbidden City and headed north. After walking for a quarter of an hour, he was greeted by a servant.

"Your Highness, the Emperor is at Yan'an Palace."

Yan'an Palace is the emperor's bedroom.

As Emperor Yonghe got older, his love affair with his children became much less interesting. He spent half of January resting here. When his interest came, he went to visit various concubines in the harem.Zhao Yishi followed the young chamberlain to the door of Yan'an Palace. After adjusting his appearance, he nodded to the chamberlain on duty in the palace.

The chamberlain hurriedly went to report it, and after a while, he hurriedly came out.

"Your Highness, the Emperor let you in."

Zhao Yishi took a deep breath and stepped into the hall.

It was already late at night, and most of the candles in the outer hall were extinguished, but a few remained in the inner hall.

Zhao Yishi took a quick look and found that there was no one on the dragon bed. He couldn't help but feel his heart tremble. He quickly looked around and found someone by the window.

He stepped forward quickly, lifted up his clothes and knelt down to salute.

"Grandson pays respects to Grandpa Huang."

"My grandson is so brave!"

The voice was deep and stern, and Zhao Yishi's originally upright body fell down again, "My grandson is guilty of death, please be punished by the emperor."

The emperor cut his hands behind his back and said nothing.

The hall suddenly fell silent, except for the breathing of the grandfather and grandson, there was no sound at all.

After a long time, the emperor slowly turned around, flicked his sleeves, and walked to the dragon bed without even looking at Zhao Yishi.

Personal eunuch Yan Ruxian came forward to wait on her to change her clothes.

When he lowered the curtain, he glanced at Zhao Yishi and said softly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Grand Sun..."

"Let him kneel."

"Yes!"

Yan Ruxian did not dare to say anything, and quickly exited the inner hall, waving to the young chamberlains on duty to tell them to go further away.

Although it is May and the heat is getting stronger, the gold bricks under my knees are still cold to the bone.

Zhao Yishi straightened up, sat back, and sat up with his legs crossed.

The emperor couldn't wake up for two or three hours. This was the best way to be lazy, and he could also take a nap along the way.

But today the emperor doesn't want his grandson to be lazy.

"Kneel down here."

Zhao Yishi quickly got up and knelt in front of the dragon bed. He thought about it for a long time and finally spoke.

"Today is the first year that old lady Ji Mansion celebrates her death. Ming Ting asked me for help. I thought of his filial piety, so I helped secretly."

"Is your help in jail?"

"My grandson lost his sense of proportion."

Zhao Yishi lowered his head and seemed unconvinced.

"Grandpa Huang has taught his grandsons since childhood that filial piety is the first priority for a human being. Those who are unfilial will be disgusted by heaven and abandoned by gods.

His surname was Pei, not Ji. He came all the way back from Nanning because he didn't want his grandmother to think that the children and grandchildren of the Ji family had forgotten her.This filial piety can be expressed by heaven and earth, so his grandson took the risk to act for him. "

"He is filial, so I won't punish him."

A thick voice came out from the curtain, "But you, I will punish you. Not only will you be punished, but you will be punished severely. Do you know why?"

Zhao Yishi was secretly horrified in his heart.

"You are the king and he is the minister. The king puts himself in danger for his ministers. This is a serious crime. Ignoring national laws and regulations is a second crime. This is a third crime..."

The curtain suddenly opened, revealing the emperor's cold, dark eyes, "Do you know what it is?"

Zhao Yishi gritted his teeth and shook his head.

"It's foolishness and filial piety."

These three words shocked Zhao Yishi into a cold sweat, and he hurriedly defended himself: "Grandfather, grandson..."

"You should learn from your father. He took care of the household department like this, but you can still ignore it and take it calmly."

The emperor snorted coldly, "The virtuous name of the Prince of the Eastern Dynasty is really praised by everyone."

A cold current shot up from under my feet.

Zhao Yishi's limbs and bones were frozen into ice. For a moment, he couldn't believe his ears that he heard this sentence.
