"Do you know? How many people come in and out of my imperial study every day? By that night at the latest, everyone in the capital knows everything that should be known and shouldn't be known."
Qi Baoer put his arms around the old emperor's neck and rested his head on his shoulder, motionless as if he were dead.
"You saved the prince. This matter cannot be hidden unless you escape from Yingzhou. The father's debt must be repaid by the son, and the son's debt must be repaid by the father. I am the king of a country and cannot be an ungrateful person and reward you.
, this is what I must do.”
Perhaps considering Qi Bao'er's age, the emperor used very simple and easy-to-understand words.
This was the first time that the emperor had a heart-to-heart conversation with Qi Baoer.
A while ago, the emperor had an indulgent attitude of "let her make trouble and watch her make trouble".
Qi Baoer didn't know what happened to the emperor today, let alone the reason why he suddenly seemed to take her seriously.
She didn't know whether the emperor's change was good or bad, but what was certain was that it would be more troublesome.
And she hates trouble.
So, he continued to lie down in the posture of death.
The emperor didn't care what her reaction was and continued to talk about himself.
"You are a little god. You have your own abilities, and you may even have hands and eyes that can reach the sky. Indeed, you are not afraid of the people around you, even me. You should not be afraid."
——You can’t say that, it’s just that he is so powerful. She is still afraid of the emperor. After all, living in another country is also troublesome.
"But no matter how powerful you are, can you guarantee that you can protect all your family members?"
——If you really can’t stay here, I’ll take them all away.
The emperor seemed to know what she was thinking, and immediately broke her delusion: "Qilin State claims to the outside world that there are only tens of thousands of gods, but you don't know that the number is much higher than this, but their master is not the imperial court."
Qi Baoer: "..."
The old emperor is an old fox, and Qi Bao'er is not a fox, but she is not stupid either. They have made it so clear, so why don't you understand.
What does this mean: In addition to the imperial court, the Qilin Kingdom also has many forces, and some or even all of these forces support their own gods and men.
Qi Baoer is a little god. A little god is a future god who has not grown up. He is also a future god who can be brainwashed and trained into a loyal dog and a sharp sword.
If you can't get it, you will destroy it. There are many such people in this world.
Qi Baoer raised his head and looked at the old emperor seriously, "You made me the county head, let me live in Fengming Palace for such a long time, and allowed me to come in and out of the imperial study at will, so that everyone can see that you like me very much.
, is it also a warning to others that I am the person you want to protect?"
A smile appeared in the emperor's eyes. He was indeed a smart boy. This was not just for this purpose.
"Your family has done nothing but achieve nothing. I cannot send troops to protect them openly. I can protect them secretly, but if someone does harm to you, they can also harm each other secretly."
Qi Baoer whined and hugged the emperor's neck tightly, "Grandpa Emperor, you are a good man."
The better the emperor showed his kindness to her, the less people in the dark would dare to do anything to her family. Otherwise, it would not be the Qijia village that would be touched, but the emperor's anger would be directly touched.
If it is to deal with the prince, if all the saviors are defeated, it will affect the prince's reputation, but this alone will not be able to bring down the prince.
If it is to get the future god, who knows what she can grow into in the future? Maybe she will get more and more frustrated?
Thinking about it this way, confronting the emperor directly seems so stupid and unworthy.
Good guy?
The emperor laughed and shook his head. After more than fifty years of being a prince, and sitting on the throne of an emperor for nearly forty years, his hands were stained bright red, and his relatives turned against each other. He had nothing to do with these two words.
However, Zongzi's heartfelt thanks still made him feel a little happier.
"Then do you still want to leave the palace and go home?"
Qi Bao'er immediately shook his head without thinking, "The Emperor asked me to go back, and I will go back."
She was well fed and housed in the palace, and she also saved food rations for her grandparents and parents.
Eunuch Qi noticed that the emperor was in a good mood now, so he quietly interjected: "Master Anle County, the emperor has ordered people to repair the county master's mansion in the capital. The location of the county master's mansion was chosen by the emperor himself."
Ouch, this is incredible, she is going to have a real estate in Beijing!!!
"Thank you, Grandpa Emperor."
Her little face turned into a flower with a smile.
But some people can't laugh.
Not only could she not laugh out loud, but sitting in the room, listening to the tinkling noises coming from the distance, she even wished she could rush into the palace and ask.
But she couldn't. Just because she said a few words during breakfast, her mother cruelly restrained her. Now she can't even get out of the attic door.
Angry and aggrieved, the little girl, who had never suffered such a crime since she was a child, couldn't help but throw herself on the bed and cry loudly.
Not far outside the attic, a man and a woman were standing.
The woman is dressed in luxurious clothes. She looks to be in her forties, but her appearance is a bit mediocre. If it weren't for the gorgeous clothes, she would be no different from ordinary people walking on the street.
On the contrary, the man cannot be said to be as handsome as Pan An, but he is also very handsome. He looks like he is in his early thirties, but in fact he is really in his early thirties.
These two people were none other than Princess Hexiao, one of the emperor's only daughters, and his consort Zhongyong Hou.
There is a saying in Qilin that no consort can enter the court and serve as an official. Since the royal family does not have many children and the emperor has a long lifespan, there is no need to guard against this.
The Zhongyong Marquis is still a general with a large army. Even if he has 50,000 soldiers, he still has military power.
"Why is this child so ignorant?"
Hearing the cries of her little daughter, Princess Hexiao felt extremely distressed. Her little daughter had been pampered and cared for since childhood. She had always been smiling. When had she ever been so sad that she could not even cry loudly?
?
Marquis Zhongyong had a worried look on his face, "The Emperor has been doting on the Anle County Master recently. He can enter the imperial study at will. I heard that he even eats with him more often than the Queen.
If her unabashed talk reaches the ears of the Emperor, Princess, you know the Emperor's temper."
A look of embarrassment flashed across Princess Hexiao's face, and she spoke without restraint. Doesn't it mean that she doesn't know how to teach her daughter?
"It is indeed Min'er's fault in this matter. Don't worry, sir, I will try to persuade her."
Marquis Zhongyong glanced at Princess Hexiao with an incomprehensible expression, sighed softly and turned away without saying anything else.
Princess Hexiao's long and deep eyes watched Zhongyonghou's figure disappear before she looked back. Then she turned to look at the attic. Her face was already cold. How could there be any distress and love from just now?
"It's useless and you still have the nerve to cry. Aunt Gui, go and tell the second lady that if you still can't figure it out, just don't come out."
"yes."
At the same time, in the palace of the eldest princess, who was also a princess, the same words were said about the newly named Anle County Lord.
But contrary to Princess Hexiao's Mansion, the atmosphere here at Princess Dachang's Mansion is peaceful.
A pretty little girl ran in, with a naughty smile on her cute round face, "Mom, there's something going on at Princess Hexiao's mansion."
The eldest princess, who was sitting on the couch and reading a book, glared at her angrily, "It's not like there's trouble over there every day. Is this worth being happy about?"
