Chapter 220 Waiting for Qi Yun (1)
"Cough..." The old emperor denied it without changing his expression, "I didn't mean that. I have always treated good people kindly and sympathized with the people, how could I allow such an unjust case."

What a fucking dog emperor.If it weren't for her ability, she would have died unjustly in prison.Shangguan Jinghong said calmly, "Jinghong is still young, he is not sensible enough to offend the emperor, if Jinghong can recover the stolen money from the bank, can the emperor let the past go?"

This statement surprised everyone present.

The old emperor didn't quite believe it, "What you said is true?"

"Of course." Shangguan Jinghong nodded.

The old emperor repeated the matter again, "The top ten official banks of the imperial court in Beijing were stolen last night, and the money in the treasury disappeared. I have sent people to seal off the whole city, searched from house to house, and sent people to investigate with all my strength. I haven’t received any beneficial news so far. Even the court can’t do anything, can you really find the stolen Ku Yin?”

"I don't want to repeat it."

"If you really find Ku Yin, you will be punished for your disrespect to me, and I will pretend that nothing happened." The old emperor's gray eyes flashed brightly, this is the best way.

Qi Zhaoyang looked at Shangguan Jinghong's indifferent face, unable to see if she really had such abilities, but said dissatisfiedly, "Master Jinghong is really a big talker, what if you can't find Ku Yin?"

"What? You still want the princess to say that you can't do whatever you want?" Shangguan Jinghong's face was full of arrogance, "I, Shangguan Jinghong's life, can only be controlled by myself!"

"It means that even if you can't find the stolen Ku Yin, it doesn't matter?" Qi Zhaoyang was indignant.

"My princess said that if you can find it, you will find it. As for whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was silent for a while. Her words were inexplicably convincing, but realistic, but it made people feel that this was impossible.

Bei Tangao took the lead in raising a bold smile, "Hong'er, I believe in you."

There was a flash of condensation on Qi Yu's stern face.

"Three days." Shangguan Jinghong said, "The imperial court will investigate for three days. After three days, if Ku Yin cannot be found, then the princess will go out in person."

After saying that, she stood up and left, no one dared to stop her, only a group of people stared blankly at her beautiful back as she went away.

The Hall of Harmony, the place where Dongqi Palace entertains distinguished guests, and Shangguan Jinghong temporarily lives in one of the wing rooms.The next morning, as soon as she left the room, she saw that Bei Tangao had ordered someone to prepare a table and chairs for breakfast in the courtyard.

"Good morning, Hong'er." Beitang Ao walked towards her, "Let's have breakfast together."

"No need." Shangguan Jinghong refused.

"Then let's go together?"

"Do not want to."

"Whatever you want, I will accompany you."

"The person I want him to accompany me is not you. Understand?"

Bei Tang'ao's face froze slightly, "Your heart has already entered another man? Who is it? Qi Yu? Qi Yun? Or Yan Xuanyu?"

"It has something to do with you?"

"You are my future queen." Bei Tang's proud expression was domineering, "Besides me, you must never have other men in your heart!"

"Everyone is crazy." Shangguan Jinghong's lips curled into a cold sneer.Like her, even if it is her charm, but avoid forcing her, it is really annoying.

"I love you so much!" Bei Tangao said a little madly, "Do you know how bitter my heart is? I finally found you, but you are so sincere to me! For you, Staying in the Eastern Qi Kingdom for a long time, and abandoning the people of the Northern Qi Kingdom, don't you know how important you are in my heart?"

"I didn't ask you to do this." She walked into the small pavilion not far away with a cold expression, and asked Qinglong to bring a bunch of books over, sipped tea and read books, and spent the whole day leisurely. Be by her side for a day.

As the sun sets in the west, the sunset looks like colorful clouds, horses, and undulating mountains and rivers...beautiful and colorful.

Qi Yun didn't come to see her.

Knowing that she lives in the palace, the reason is just to wait for him.

"Hong'er, what are you thinking?" Beitang Ao had been quiet for a day, and seeing that her expression was a little dazed, he couldn't help asking.

She shook her head.

The guard Qinglong came over from the courtyard, "Master, it's time for dinner. The imperial kitchen has prepared food and delivered it to your wing."

"Ah."

"Since yesterday, the emperor has sent tens of thousands of horses to step up the search for the missing banker Kuyin. It must be found within three days." Qinglong said again.

"The old emperor didn't want Ku Yin to rely on me to find him. He didn't want me to have a chance to be exonerated."

"Why does the master stay in the palace?"

"For..." Qi Yun, she didn't say the word, but said, "In case the emperor is afraid that I will run away."

"You are not someone who is afraid of these things." Bei Tangao answered.

Shangguan startled and smiled lightly, "I'm a businessman. If I easily helped Emperor Dongqi find Ku Yin yesterday, it would not reflect my value. After tens of thousands of people searched for three days, but they couldn't find it, it's time for me to act." .”

Bei Tangao said, "It may be more valuable to wait for ten days."

"No." A hidden worry flashed in Shangguan Jinghong's eyes.Demon Dragon Lord Yexi once said that within ten days, Qi Yun would take the initiative to annul the marriage.Counting from yesterday, it will expire in exactly three days.I want to know if Qi Yun will really do this.

Looking up at the gradually darkening sky, she had a feeling in her heart that the relationship with Qi Yun seemed to be getting more and more bleak.

Two days later, the old emperor sent a eunuch to send a message, asking her to find the stolen Ku Yin.

Shangguan Jinghong drove out of the palace slowly in a carriage, followed by several carriages, respectively carrying Xiang Wang Qi Yu, Princess Zhaoyang, Northern Qi Emperor, An Wang Qi Yun and the courtiers appointed by the old emperor.

In one of the stolen official money houses in the capital, Shangguan Jinghong walked into the empty warehouse, followed by a large group of people.

Li Fangyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, said, "The lower officials have inspected the inside and outside of ten storehouses, and found some messy footprints outside the courtyard. The footprints disappeared when they reached the wall. They should have walked over the wall with money. It’s just that there are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the treasury, and there are dozens of banks, how could it disappear without a trace? The officers and soldiers on duty guarding the treasury are all dead.”
