Xuan Yi chuckled and said, "Where do you want to go?"
"I...I..." She was so surprised that she couldn't speak.
"Defu." Xuan Yi shouted.
Defu came in from outside the palace and said, "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
"Call Xiao Yizi to come in."
"According to the order." Defu went out and brought in a eunuch. When he saw him kneeling down, he said: "My servant Xiaoyi, I wish you long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty."
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Xiao Yizi." Xuan Yi looked at Qi Zi and shouted.
"The slave is here."
"I have to go to the imperial study to handle political affairs. Before I come back, if Miss Qizi leaves, I will give you the death penalty." Xuan Yi said easily, as if it was none of his business even if he died.
"My slave obeys the order." Xiao Yizi timidly responded.
Qi Zi was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, and he said, "You have no right to restrict my freedom."
"Freedom? Have you ever heard that there is freedom in the palace? Besides, this is my palace, my words are imperial edicts, and I will never take back what I say."
"you……."
"Defu, show off."
"According to the decree, the emperor is in charge of the study."
Watching Xuan Yi leave proudly, Qi Zi looked at the eunuch standing, and her lungs were about to explode. How could she have met such a domineering and inhumane person?
On the way to the royal study, Xuan Yi's face gradually became serious and asked: "How is the investigation going?"
Defu said softly: "Back to the emperor, I have some clues. I used the queen's medicine residue to re-cook it and gave it to a crazy master in the cold palace to drink."
"How about it?"
"As the emperor expected, the crazy master no longer has the same energy as before. Instead, he is haggard and weak. He has the same symptoms as the queen before she was alive." Defu followed closely and replied unhurriedly.
"Was there any evidence found?"
"This slave deserves to die. Now he is suffering from the lack of evidence."
"Then just wait for the other party to take action again." He said coldly.
Defu followed without saying a word. He didn't know what the master in front of him, whom he had served for more than ten years, was thinking. These days, he was hot and cold, happy and sad, and he was not the same serious person as usual who never talked about laughter.
I really can't hang it up.
Xiao Yizi handed Qi Zi a cup of tea. Logically speaking, a cup of tea should be nothing, but the lid of the tea cup was trembling. This shows how frightened he was. Qi Zi couldn't stand it, so he stood up and thought.
To say something, Xiao Yizi knelt down on the ground with a plop and kowtowed twice and said: "Master, although my life is cheap and not worth much, please show mercy and spare me this life."
Save your life."
"Get up, I won't embarrass you." Qi Zi said quietly.
"Thank you, master, thank you, master." Xiao Yizi stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
Qi Zi sat down again, looked at Xiao Yi Zi and asked casually: "Xiao Yi Zi, how long have you been in the palace?"
"Master, this slave has been in the palace for five years." He replied respectfully, for fear of making any mistakes.
"Oh, five years." Qi Zi nodded and said to himself.
"Yes, Master, I used to be an errand in the Qifeng Palace. Since the Central Palace became ownerless, I was transferred to the Zhengde Palace by the Chief Manager." Seeing that Qi Zi had no intention of leaving, he relaxed and said.
.
Hearing Xiao Yizi say that he was in Qifeng Palace before, he must know something about sister Liran. Thinking of this, Qizi looked at him and asked: "Do you know about the former queen?"
"Master, there are always three queens in Qifeng Palace. I wonder which queen you are talking about?"
"I'm talking about Queen Liran." Qi Zi stood up and walked to the table and said softly.
"I wonder what the master wants to ask?" Xiao Yizi thought to herself, why did Qi Zi ask this?
"I want to know how she died."
"This...slave...the queen died of illness."
Seeing that Xiao Yizi was in a bit of trouble, Qi Zi walked up to him and begged excitedly: "Xiao Yizi, I beg you, you must know something, right? Can you please tell me?"
"Master, I really don't know. Please let me go." Xiao Yizi knelt on the ground again and said.
The people in the palace were really cautious, and it seemed that nothing could be asked. Qi Zi put away his gaffe, helped him up and said, "Then can you tell me whether the emperor treats her well or not."
This can be answered, Xiao Yizi thought about it and said: "This servant doesn't know. If you say yes, it won't make any difference. If you say no, it doesn't seem to make sense."
"how do I say this."
"The queen was not favored at first, but it was because she played a very nice piece of music one night that attracted the emperor. The emperor then went to the Qifeng Palace from time to time. But soon after, he found that her body was getting worse and worse, and even the imperial physician
We were all helpless and finally gave up half a year ago."
"Okay, why are you not in good health?" Qi Zi asked nervously.
"This slave really doesn't know."
It's fine, why is he not in good health? He was obviously still in good spirits during the meeting outside the palace, so how could he just...how could he just..., thinking of this, Qi Zi covered her mouth and sobbed, with tears dripping down on the tablecloth.
Outside the window, there is still the last trace of the sunset in the sky. The red clouds reflect the window shuttle. The evening bell of the royal temple can be heard in the distance. The sound of a bird flapping its wings is heard, but the bird is not visible. The palace
The wall is so high. Qi Zi was looking at the sky in a trance when Defu came in and said, "Master, the emperor has asked your servant to tell you that he is on official business and will not come back to eat. Master, please eat by yourself."
"Go and ask him for me, when can I leave?" Qi Zi said without looking back.
"Yes, I will resign." Defu responded and went out. The eunuch who served the meal came in and served three dishes and one soup. But looking at the tempting dishes, Qi Zi had no appetite at all, so he ate a little and ordered them to leave.
.
Xiao Yizi could see that Qizi was about to lose his patience in waiting, and he was even more anxious to save his head. As the hour approached, Qizi was already sitting numbly by the piano table, stroking the Xuemei song she and Liran had co-created.
Xiao Yizi looked there with his mouth wide open, as if he saw Queen Liran alive, but he was surprised and thought: Why did she play this song that the queen loved to play during her lifetime? Is it possible that there was a relationship between them?
