The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 171 Kill or not kill
"Mother, why are you in such a hurry to kill Dugu Jialuo? He is already a turtle in the urn, and he can't escape. It will be a matter of time before he is killed." Faced with the empress's tough tone, the emperor just said indifferently.

"Your Majesty, the Liuyun Kingdom is becoming more and more lawless. The Ai family personally issued an order to invite the prince. What is it that they sent such a prince? If they don't take the words of the Ai family seriously, it means that they are not convinced by the sky. , then one day the Ai family will go to the house, and the clouds will make trouble, the emperor can resist it?" Seeing that her son was not very obedient, the Queen Mother was a little angry.

"Mother, I'm not as fragile as you think. I will handle these things well. Don't put pressure on me." The emperor sighed softly. His mother is good in everything, but she is too strong. What is it? They all want to follow her wishes.

He naturally has his reasons for not killing Dugu Jialuo now, but his mother never considered things from his point of view.

"Since the emperor said so, the Ai family has nothing to say." Seeing that the emperor did not listen to her, the queen mother turned her face away and stopped talking.

"Mother, calm down, this Dugu Jialuo is definitely going to kill, I will think about the pros and cons of it, you rest first." After finishing speaking, the emperor got up and left.

Imperial study room

Gaifeng stepped in and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, why did you call your subordinates down so late?"

"It's rare to see you being so serious, what's the matter? Are you angry with me for not sending you to intercept Dugu Jialuo?" The emperor smiled meaningfully.

Gai Feng curled his lips: "How dare you, even if you have ten guts, you wouldn't dare to be angry with the emperor. You just don't think such a thing should be handed over to King Rui'an, and you shouldn't trust him that much."

"You seem to be very prejudiced against Jue?" The emperor raised his teacup and asked slowly.

"It's not that his subordinates have prejudices against him. Everyone knows Sima Zhaozhi's heart. On the surface, he always looks loyal, but in fact, everyone knows what he thinks in his heart. Back then, the late emperor did not pass on to him. To me, it was a painful blow, for so many years, he fought in the north and south, just to prove that he is better than the emperor, but he seems to have forgotten that he is just a prince." Haifeng didn't like Xi Gongjue very much.

It's no wonder that each is their master, and the master of Haifeng is the emperor, and Xi Gongjue is the most threatening of the three princes. No matter whether he has the intention to usurp the throne or not, he must be on guard. This is a fact.

"Don't you think Jue is not loyal enough to me?" The emperor threw another doubt to Haifeng.

Haifeng smiled lazily: "It's useless to say, if he is loyal, why is he so slow to come up with the Dragon Mark pardon? For so many years, the empress dowager's people are also looking for our people, but There is no news at all, isn't this suspicious? Now that the world is peaceful, what purpose does a prince have with that thing?"

"Maybe you have misunderstood the Duke. If he doesn't hand over the Dragon Mark Order, it doesn't mean he has the intention to instigate rebellion." The emperor smiled gracefully, as if he was talking about some household matters, rather than such a big matter of seeking power and usurping the throne.

"Forget it, your majesty is much clearer than your subordinates, so why don't you just talk about it so late?" Gaifeng opened his eyes wide and looked at the emperor in dragon robes.

"Of course not. I came here to ask you, how about the matter I asked you to investigate?" The emperor finally got to the point.

"Well, it's hard to say. It can be said that I found something and didn't find anything." Gaifeng answered vaguely.

"Hifeng, is your skin itchy? Talking to me, you still play like this?" The emperor knew that Haifeng was deliberately teasing his appetite, so he threatened.

"I don't dare. What I said is the truth. There is no beneficial value in this investigation. The princess was really well-behaved before she came to Bianjing. She didn't have anything to do with any man in Yangzhou, but there is one thing that is very strange. "The Gale Sword eyebrow is frivolous.

"What's the matter?" As long as it was about Ye Anran, the emperor seemed very interested.

"My subordinates found out that before coming to Bianjing, the concubine suddenly wanted to resign from the Meng family, and had a big fight with his father because of this. My subordinates found out about this from the servants of Yefu." Gaifeng truthfully report.

"Retire? Why? Isn't she always very well-behaved? Why did she suddenly want to resign? Could it be that she knew someone at that time?" The emperor also felt very strange.

It's not like Ye Anran's style to break off the engagement suddenly and then quarrel with her father...

"Later, my subordinates found out that Dugu Jialuo was chased by the prince to Yangzhou for a while, and then disappeared for a few days. I don't know if these two things are related, but no one saw Dugu Jialuo in Ye Mansion with his own eyes. Not to mention that he is not sure that he is acquainted with the concubine, so the subordinate said that he does not know how to report to you." Gaifeng analyzed carefully.

Only then did the emperor suddenly realize that Haifeng had checked both sides, Yangzhou and Liuyun, but no one saw Ye Anran and Dugu Jialuo together.

So that day, she dressed up as a court lady and went to Dugu Jialuo's place. She couldn't prove that they had anything, maybe she was sending a message for Jue Xigong. Looking for Dugu Jialuo to plot against him, and then he happened to know Dugu Jialuo's strategy, so he sent Xi Gongjue to round him up, and tried his best to see if he could let him go or catch him back.

If he took the opportunity to let him go, it would mean that the relationship between Dugu Jialuo and Jue Xigong was unusual, and there must be a conspiracy involved.

If Xi Gongjue really captured him sternly and selflessly, then this argument would not make sense. The emperor could only believe that Ye Anran and Dugu Jialuo knew each other and had a close relationship.

"There is no need to continue investigating this matter, I have my own way to find out." The emperor stood up and said with his hands behind his back.

"Your majesty, you always seem to be very interested in the affairs of the princess?" Gai Feng said rashly.

"Is there? I am also very interested in Yao'er, but it's a pity that she has too few secrets. You can find out at once. I like to explore those unknown past events and secrets. Why? Do you have an opinion?" The emperor looked sideways blast.

Gaifeng only felt the cold wind blowing, and immediately shut up obediently...

"Okay, you step back." The emperor seemed tired and waved his hand.

"Yes." Gaifeng stepped back obediently. He was the emperor's secret bodyguard. He had followed the emperor for many years and occasionally showed up in the palace. Many court ladies thought he was the eunuch serving the emperor's study.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ning said she was not feeling well, and she was clamoring for you to come over." After Gai Feng left, Eunuch Zhu knocked on the door and came in to return in a low voice.

"Okay, I got it." The emperor was expressionless. He seemed to favor Concubine Ning too much, which made Concubine Ning so arrogant.

A man's patience is always limited. Although the emperor's expression is as calm as water, his slightly furrowed brows have already declared that he is impatient.

I don't know how long Concubine Ning will have to kill his temporary love for her...

Maybe it's already gone, and it's over, but she doesn't know it yet.

The next day
When Ye Anran got up early in the morning, she was told to enter the palace with the prince, saying that the emperor invited them to a banquet.

Ye Anran didn't know why, but simply dressed up, wearing a light white dress and a purple cloak, extremely elegant.

After getting into the carriage, Xi Gongjue had been waiting inside for a long time, and when he saw Ye Anran coming in, he seemed to complain: "Why do you always do this?"

"If you go back to the prince, the concubine needs to wash and dress up, so... there was a delay."

"Women are troublesome. Don't you bother to wash and dress when you go out?" Xi Gongjue glanced at her and said impatiently.

"Then if you don't dress up, you will lose your appearance and be blamed by the emperor, who will bear the responsibility?" I don't know when it started, Ye Anran seems to have learned to resist, at least when he was talking about her, she was gone, the same as before He is obedient, but he knows to grasp the truth and start to refute.

"Not bad? Are you so bold that you dare to question the words of this king?" Jue Nishinomiya squinted his eyes, looked at the woman in front of him with his arms around his shoulders, and found that she had really changed a lot. strength.

"I don't dare, I just hope that the prince can notify me in advance next time, so that I won't spend all my time on dressing up." Ye Anran lowered her head and said softly.

"Hehe, you're all right, and you're still blaming me for notifying me late. Cheng, next time I'll notify you one night in advance, you can just dress up for one night. When you see that you are late, what reason do you have to prevaricate?" After doing this, I laughed angrily.

"Next time, if the prince spends the night before, then...the concubine will never be too late." Ye Anran said firmly.

Now, Jue Nishinomiya is speechless...

speechless all the way

After entering the palace, he went straight to the Golden Dragon Hall, where the emperor held a banquet waiting for the couple. Sure enough, when he walked in, he found that the emperor had prepared dishes for them.

The two walked in and knelt down in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

"Let's get down, I've been waiting for you for a long time, come and give me a seat." The emperor seemed to be in a good mood.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After the two thanked each other, they sat on the left side.

"I invite you here today to celebrate the deeds of Jue last night. Jue, come, I respect you with this cup. Your contribution to rounding up Dugu Jialuo last night was indispensable. If it weren't for you, he would have escaped to Liuyun by now. country." The emperor said with a smile while holding a wine glass.

"It's the emperor's ingenious calculations, and my ministers dare not take credit for it." Xi Gongjue was not surprised as a pet, but Ye Anran's body trembled slightly, such a big thing happened, and she didn't know it?Jia Luo escaped overnight?Being rounded up by Jue Nishinomiya?God, what the hell is she missing?
"Princess Rui'an, your complexion is a little pale, are you feeling unwell?" The emperor asked intentionally, not letting go of the instant cloudy or sunny change on Ye Anran's face.

"I..." Ye Anran's mind went blank, not knowing how to answer.

"Ah, Anran has caught a cold recently and feels a little uncomfortable. The emperor laughed at him." Xi Gongjue took the opportunity to put his arm around Ye Anran's shoulder and explained.

"Oh, it turns out that it's like this. It's not a trivial matter to catch the wind and cold. I'll ask the imperial doctor to take a look later." The emperor said with concern.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Ye Anran came back to his senses, lowered his head and said.

"Jue, the queen mother means to take the opportunity to kill Dugu Jialuo, what do you think about this matter?" After the emperor and Jue Xigong finished a glass of wine, the emperor said something astonishing again.

Ye Anran's hands trembled, and the wine glass in his hand almost fell on the table, but fortunately Nishinomiya quickly caught it.

"This matter, I dare not say anything at will, and everything is under the emperor's arrangement." Xi Gongjue was not stupid, so he would not say to kill or not to kill, naturally he threw this difficult problem to the emperor like a hydrangea ball.

"Princess Rui'an, what about you? What do you think about this matter? Do you think... Dugu Jialuo should be killed or kept?" the emperor asked meaningfully.

Ye Anran's face turned pale instantly...
