Empress: The Old Emperor's Way to Pursue His Wife

Chapter 110 Shaking (6)

"Sister Xianggong Xiao... Sister Xiao, Xianggong, I... Huhu... I..." Qiu Yunzhu was out of breath, and could not tell whether it was water or sweat on his forehead.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, it's Sister She who treated you all poorly, and Benzhou County is here to apologize." Qiu Yuwei walked out of the state and county mansion with his fists in his arms, dressed in an ordinary Confucian outfit, with the posture of a humble son of Yushu facing the wind.

His appearance successfully pulled Xiao Yi out of the automatic stone carving state, and Xiao Yi looked resentfully at Qiu Yunzhu's hair dripping from her shoulders.

"Hey, Sister Xiao's husband, it's my fault. As soon as I went in, I felt sore and weak. When the maid told me to boil water for a bath, I...hehe." Qiu Yunzhu laughed dryly, very annoyed.

"Yunzhu, how can you be so rude, you forgot what my brother and I usually teach you." Qiu Yuwei didn't realize that there was something wrong with her sister's address, and she only blamed her for being rude.

Mo Yanxiao clasped his fists and bowed: "My lord...cough cough, you're being polite."

Qiu Yunzhu pouted unhappily, her eyes caught Mo Yanxiao, and happily jumped to his side, hugging his arm.

"Brother, brother, this is your future brother-in-law, your sister and my husband-in-law."

Qiu Yuwei's brows were extremely cold, no longer the elegance and charity he had before, and he said, "Yun Zhu."

Qiu Yunzhu reluctantly let go of Mo Yanxiao, and stood beside Mo Yanxiao with her mouth pouted.

"Cough cough..." Mo Yanxiao coughed violently again, and Qiu Yuwei hurriedly ushered them into the state and county mansion.

Due to the exhaustion of boats and cars, he just walked around the Donghang Street again, and then Qiu Yunzhu left him in the air battle outside the county government for so long, he was too tired to talk.

Qiu Yuwei arranged for them to stay in the backyard of the state and county mansion, but they had a good time to rest, and they didn't invite a few people to gather together until dinner time.

After Xiao Yi, Mo Yanxiao and the others took their seats, the servant girl brought a table of vegetarian dishes, only a fish porridge with a little bit of meat momo.

"I hope the three of you don't dislike it, this... oh." Qiu Yuwei sighed helplessly, and Mo Yanxiao replied: "I don't dislike it, I am weak and can't eat too greasy food, these are just right."

Xiao Yi was not too polite, picked up the chopsticks and tasted a few mouthfuls of the dishes, all of which tasted good.

Qiu Yunzhu looked around for a while, and asked, "Sister Xiao, where is Li Zhong? Doesn't he eat?"

Li Zhongben was a secret guard, and they ate and rested together due to limited conditions on the road.Now he must abide by the rules and continue to do his own job.

Qiu Yunzhu's innocent expression made Xiao Yi couldn't bear to tell the truth, so she said: "I have something to do for him, and he won't dine with us in the future."

"Oh." Qiu Yunzhu looked at the dishes on the table in disappointment, and lamented: "I thought it was bad for him to dislike these meals."

"You silly girl, he hasn't seen it, so how can he know if it's good or not?" Xiao Yi remembered the matter of standing outside the mansion, and added, "But I don't know about the matter that you have forgotten outside the mansion recently. Will you hold a grudge?"

"Ah, no way." Qiu Yunzhu frowned, buried her head in her meal.

Xiao Yi smirked, and turned her eyebrows to meet Qiu Yuwei's undisguised gaze.

"Qiuzhou County, are you staring at me like this?"

However, Qiu Yuwei suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks and got up from his seat, and knelt down on one knee with his hands clasped. "My minister kowtowed to the empress, the empress is a thousand years old, and I have met Lord Mo Xiang."

Xiao Yi was taken aback, could it be that Qiu Yunzhu told her brother their identities, but... Xiao Yi turned her eyebrows, and saw the surprised expression of Miss Qiu beside her, she clearly didn't know that her brother already knew their identities .

Mo Yanxiao raised his hand to help: "Qiuzhou County please get up quickly, there is no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Mo Xiang, empress." Qiu Yuwei sat back. "I would also like to thank my mother and Mo for taking care of my younger sister."

"Qiuzhou County is polite, but how did you know the identities of Ben Gong and Mo Xiang?" She remembered that they hadn't even mentioned their names because of being tired.

Qiu Yuwei didn't make any detours either. "I don't dare to lie to the queen. I was lucky enough to witness the real face of the empress at the wedding ceremony between the emperor and the empress. The reason why I didn't say anything about the first meeting today is because I know that the empress and Mr. Mo have been traveling all the way. Bad, just..."

Xiao Yi suddenly realized: "It turns out to be like this."

On the wedding day of emperors and empresses, hundreds of local officials did come to Beijing to participate, but..."Qiuzhou County was in Kyoto at that time, why didn't you mention the repair of Dongzhou Dam? Is it from Beijing?"

According to their previous speculation, shouldn't he return to Dongzhou with the team escorting the disaster silver?
"Back to your mother, Mr. Mo, who has a humble job, is going to Dongzhou to escort the disaster relief and check the repair of the dam. He wanted to stop him on the way, but..."

"But what happened?" Mo Yanxiao asked nervously, his intuition told him something was wrong.

It turned out that when Qiu Yuwei found the large team, it was in the middle of the night, and he happened to see a group of men in black emptying out the disaster money and replacing it with boxes of stones, and those guards were all stunned by drugs.

Outnumbered, Qiu Yuwei could only watch the men in black carry away the disaster money, keeping in mind the direction in which the men in black carried away the money, and then he hid in the woods and waited for the officers and soldiers to wake up so that they could chase after them.

As a result, after everyone woke up, no one checked the disaster bank at all, and no one felt that there was something wrong last night, so they continued to transport boxes of stones to Dongzhou.

This clearly means that there are internal thieves, and this person's official position in it is definitely not low.

Mo Yanxiao's eyebrows were cold, and the temperature at the scene dropped suddenly. After all, Mo Yanxiao was responsible for this matter, and the people he picked to escort the disaster relief were all elite soldiers, and the people he arranged to sit in the town were the ones he personally promoted and trusted. people.

Didn't notice the difference?Is he also involved in this case?But how dare he, how dare he break ground on Tai Sui's head.

Mo Yanxiao's swift and resolute actions are not feared by any civil and military man in the court, but how dare this person do this... Could it be that he still wants to frame him?

The meal was tasteless, and several people hurriedly finished their meals and went back to their rooms.

After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Yi knocked on Mo Yanxiao's door.

"Who?"

The calm voice made Xiao Yi pause, as if returning to that tree, on that rainy day, seeing that cool man who was not afraid of her.

Mo Yanxiao opened the door, and when he saw Xiao Yi standing at the door, he paused.

He had tried his best to avoid the two of them being alone during the journey, but in the end, he could only avoid it for a while but not for a lifetime.

"The Queen Mother."

"Master Mo, there is no one else here, so you don't have to..."

"What is the empress looking for with this minister? If there is nothing wrong, please go back to your room early to rest."

Xiao Yi snorted and said, "Since Mr. Mo called me queen, shouldn't Mr. Mo invite me into the room to sit for a while?"

"Men and women don't give and receive."

Good thing you Mo Yanxiao, I despise Qiu Yunzhu as annoying, but I learned her skills.
