Chapter 561: Do you feel itchy after hearing this?
Qi Baoer didn't care what the emperor's situation was. She felt that what she had to do had been done, and the rest had nothing to do with her.
But I never thought that I would meet the wise king halfway.
After running around for a day, I arrived in Qingquan County, Haizhou. Qi Baoer did not enter the county seat, but first went to a mountain outside the county seat to find a place to rest for the night.
Unexpectedly, someone here arrived earlier than her. The wise king had only brought a few guards and had already set up the camp, and they were roasting game around the fire.
The speed of Yin Zai was as if he suddenly appeared from the sky, frightening the guards around Xian Wang so much that they all drew their weapons and put their faces on guard. The expression of Xian Wang, who had always been indifferent, also changed slightly.
But after seeing clearly that it was Yin Zai, he smiled, "But An Le?"
There is no way, Yinzi is getting bigger and bigger now, and the hair on his body is getting longer and better. It is fluffy and shiny, which makes his stature grow by two sizes.
And Qi Bao'er, who is not very good at it so far, is riding on Yinzai's back, covered by Yinzai's big head and hair. Under normal circumstances, if you look at Yinzai from the front, you can't see anything behind it at all.
personal.
The wise king waved his hand to the guards to put away their weapons.
Qi Baoer only stopped when she recognized the Xian Wang. Otherwise, there was a natural cave on the top of the mountain, and she would have gone to rest somewhere that could provide shelter from the wind and rain.
He jumped off Yin Zai's back, clasped his fists in a very polite manner and bowed to the Xian Wang as a courtier, "Seeing the Xian Wang Qian Sui, how about getting close to the Xian Wang Qian Sui?"
The smile on King Xian's face became even bigger. Did he hear that he was ill a while ago?
It's true that this girl just heard about it. She didn't hide it at all, and she wasn't afraid that he would suspect that she was spying on him.
"It's okay now. Get up and come sit here."
"yes."
Qi Bao'er jumped up and sat down next to the Xian King without any courtesy. It was not that she wanted to rush to flatter the Xian King, but the guards took the initiative to move over and there was an empty seat here.
Originally, the barbecue was almost done. As soon as Qi Baoer sat down, the Xian Wang personally cut a piece of tender meat from the roast lamb on the rack and put it on a plate and handed it to her.
"Didn't you go to the south and get a first-class disaster relief envoy? Where did this come from?"
I didn't even mention Eunuch Qi in front of the emperor, and I didn't even mention it in front of the wise king. Qi Bao'er only said: "I checked some things, but it's hard to explain in the letter. I just have to be fast, and it only takes two or three days."
time."
The King Xian couldn't understand what she meant, but when he heard it, his face froze, and then he wanted to raise his hand and give her angrily.
"You are so bold. Fortunately, the emperor doesn't argue with you. You, an imperial envoy, dare to return to the capital privately. But if the courtiers find out about this, they will bury you in your book."
Qi Baoer laughed heartlessly and said, "I am hiding from people. Except for the emperor and you, the prince and my father, no one knows that I went back to Beijing privately."
She was confused sometimes. She knew why officials on overseas assignments were not allowed to return to Beijing privately, but why officials like herself who were on official business trips could not return to Beijing privately. This was something she had never figured out.
She often thought: Maybe it is just a rule.
Anyway, the era of imperial power had many unreasonable and yet very strict rules.
Just like her private return to Beijing this time, if the emperor cared about her, he could banish her or kill her, it would all be a matter of a word from the emperor.
Alas~
"It's such a big deal that I can't even worry about it." This is actually one of the reasons, but it's not so big that I have to go there.
But it is very reasonable to put it in perspective, and it is also the least likely to arouse doubts.
The Xian King was startled for a moment, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, he waved and asked the guards to move away, and then asked in a low voice: "Is it related to King Xuan?"
Question, but he used an affirmative tone.
According to King Yixian's character and position, Qi Bao'er was not prepared to hide it from him, and nodded with the same solemn expression.
"In the past, the disaster relief money and food sent to the south were confiscated in secret every time. Most of those who dared to do such crazy things in private were related to King Xuan."
After that, she talked about what King Xuan’s aide named Mao had done.
"I guess that after Yingzhou was trapped by the Zhenbei Army, the chance of King Xuan being able to contact the outside world was very small, at least he couldn't completely control the south side."
The Xian Wang's face really darkened this time. Although he didn't like to hold the imperial power, he was also a member of the royal family and was very close to the emperor. Naturally, he heard that someone was just using the name of King Xuan.
To be able to stir up the entire southern officialdom into such a dark and angry state is more of a disappointment, a disappointment to those officials with good intentions.
"But is there evidence?"
Qi Baoer rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, "Xian Wang Qiansui, how long have I been waiting for? I have to provide disaster relief first, and then check these things. It is a coincidence because in Baishan County, Mr. Mao's people happened to go there to get quilts.
He was caught stealing money for disaster relief, and only then did he find out this information."
If it were really easy, the prince would have returned to Beijing long ago.
The wise king was not angry when a little baby looked down upon him, but instead laughed happily.
After stopping for a long time, I watched Qi Baoer finish a piece of barbecue, and then started to cut a piece for her.
"Anle, I like you so much. You can be my goddaughter. I have no children. You will become my daughter. When I pass away in the future, everything I have will be yours.
.”
Just asking, do you feel itchy after hearing this?
Military power, wealth, and a fiefdom of three states to the east.
In the previous words, praying for treasure goes in the left ear and out the right ear, but the last sentence...
By the way, if King Xian really becomes her father, it seems like she will take advantage of him.
Although the emperor now showed his trust in her, what she saw and heard during this trip back to Beijing made her not have much hope that the emperor's trust in her would last.
The eldest princess's kindness to her only relied on the emperor's attitude.
As for others...
In the era of imperial power, the emperor's attitude is the key.
Her father is now a general again, and she can see that her father is happy that he can finally show his ambition. Her father once said that if it were not for the fact that he was the eldest son, he would have joined the army long ago.
So the situation now is different from the past. She can no longer run away casually, she has to find a way to be her father's protective umbrella.
But she was lazy and didn't want to bear too much responsibility to the emperor, let alone gain the emperor's trust and give her an assignment like this time.
Not only is it tiring, but it’s also troublesome.
Thinking about it this way, although there are also troubles in being the goddaughter of a wise king, the benefits are relatively greater.
Even if it was just for the sake of the Xian Wang, the emperor would take more care of her; and her father had barely established a relationship with the Xian Wang. As long as her father did not commit suicide, the Xian Wang, even if he was not sincere, would only
For the sake of face, she would also lend a hand when her father was in trouble.
However, after thinking so hard, Qi Bao'er still didn't agree and just ate the barbecue in silence.
With her reaction, the wise king knew that he was already thinking about it, so he smiled and did not press her any further.
