Yunxiang covered her lips and smiled: "I remember!"
Wang Decai gave Hu Xiaotian a hard look and said to himself: How could this guy talk so much nonsense?
While Hu Xiaotian was talking, he looked around and found that Qiqi still hadn't come over. He felt that something was wrong. He had just asked Shi Xuedong to go find someone as soon as possible, and he deliberately killed a lot of time on the way to Xinning Palace with Zhao Jinxi. Shi Xuedong
They should have arrived a long time ago. Didn't this guy find Qiqi?
At this point, I can only bite the bullet and go see Queen Jian.
Following Wang Decai into the Xinning Palace, Hu Xiaotian had no intention of admiring the gorgeous and luxurious furnishings of the palace. He lowered his head and looked around quietly with his eyes, feeling really uneasy in his heart.
A golden bead curtain in front blocked the palace at the back. Through the bead curtain, you could vaguely see Youdao's figure behind him. Wang Decai asked him to wait where he was. He walked slowly to the bead curtain and said respectfully: "Empress Qi,
Hu Xiaotian from Siyuan Bureau is here."
A cold response came from behind the bead curtain: "Yes!"
Hu Xiaotian hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Hu Xiaotian bows to the Queen, she is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"Hu Xiaotian! How long have you been in the palace?"
Hu Xiaotian respectfully replied: "It's been more than two months since I got back to you, the Queen."
"I heard that Liu Yuzhang handed over all the power of Siyuan Bureau to you. Now you have the most power in Siyuan Bureau. You have been able to thrive in Siyuan Bureau for more than two months. You are really quite capable."
From Hu Xiaotian's words alone, you can tell that Queen Jian has no good intentions towards him. He smiled and said: "My dear, it's nothing. It's just that Eunuch Liu accidentally sprained his ankle, so he left some things to me."
Actually, I am only responsible for running errands. Eunuch Liu still makes the decision on everything."
Queen Jian snorted coldly: "Are you saying that I am lying?"
Hu Xiaotian knelt on the ground for a long time without being allowed to stand up. He cursed in his heart, I provoked you? Why do you, a high-ranking queen, want to have trouble with me, a humble little eunuch? In fact, Hu Xiaotian knew in his heart that Queen Jian was looking for him for ten years.
Most likely, she was instigated by Wang Decai. Hu Xiaotian kowtowed and said: "The queen empress has a grace and unrivaled beauty in the world. She is admired by all. Xiaotian's heart is too late to revere her. How dare you have such disrespectful thoughts?"
Queen Jian said: "You are indeed a eloquent person. I heard that you are saying behind my back that I am not good at teaching my daughter."
Hu Xiaotian's head was covered in cold sweat. When did I say that? There is no need to accuse me. Queen Jian made it clear that she wanted to trick me. Hu Xiaotian hurriedly explained: "The Queen, I have never said such a thing."
Empress Jian sneered and said: "Looking at your slick look, you are not honest. I'm afraid you won't admit it. Tell me, did you go to Chuxiu Palace a few days ago?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It does happen."
Queen Jian asked again: "What happened after you went to Chuxiu Palace?"
"Uh... this..." Hu Xiaotian secretly calculated. Since she asked this, she must have grasped some things. Should she tell the truth or lie?
Queen Jian said: "You don't have to think about how to deal with me. I didn't intend to wrong you when I asked you to come here. Did Qiqi ask a group of eunuchs to tie you up?"
Hu Xiaotian thought to himself. It seems that these old ladies know everything. I obviously suffered a loss in Chuxiu Palace that day, but if I tell the truth, it is equivalent to selling Qiqi. If I don't tell the truth, these old ladies will probably
Jiu Yao took the opportunity to punish me for deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth from the inferiors. Now that things have happened, Hu Xiaotian can only say respectfully: "The empress is aware of everything, and my admiration for her is like the water of the Yangtze River."
Queen Jian said: "That's nice to say. Although Qiqi provoked you first, if you have any grievances, just tell me. Why do you say behind my back that I have no way to teach my daughter, and that Qiqi is unruly and willful?"
Hu Xiaotian shouted: "Mother, I have been wronged!" He glanced at Wang Decai who was standing aside. He noticed a smug sneer on the corner of his lips, and concluded in his heart that most likely it was his grandson who was confusing right and wrong behind his back and deliberately framed himself.
Queen Jian said: "If I don't punish you, a slave like you who talks nonsense and gossips, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public in the future. Come on!"
Wang Decai took a step forward and said: "The little one is here!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Queen, I don't agree with you!"
Queen Jian said angrily: "How dare you, a slave, talk back!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Originally, the Empress wanted to teach me a lesson, no matter how young I am, I shouldn't say no, but the Empress gave me so many reasons, saying that I was slandering you behind my back, even if the Empress turned around and wanted to fight me.
Damn me, Xiaotian has to find out this matter clearly and admit it, but the truth must be explained. It doesn't matter if I am wronged, but once it is proven that the Queen has been deceived in the future, wouldn't it be detrimental to the Queen?
Majesty."
"you……"
Wang Decai said angrily: "How brave! Come here, drag this arrogant person out and give him thirty punishments."
Hu Xiaotian said: "You are the one who is bold. My Majesty has not even said to punish me, so who do you think you are? Are you the one who calls the shots in this Xinning Palace?"
Wang Decai became so angry that he rushed up and kicked Hu Xiaotian in the chest. Hu Xiaotian's intention was to anger him. Seeing Wang Decai's kick, his chest shrank back, and he removed most of the opponent's strength, but
In the eyes of others, Wang Decai kicked him, and Hu Xiaotian's body rolled several times on the ground. He spread his hands, kicked his legs, rolled his eyes, and twitched all over his body. To put it bluntly, he was pretending.
Damn it, most people really can't play him.
Wang Decai thought to himself, "Why is my kick so powerful? I kicked this guy into such a bad shape."
Several eunuchs also rushed in after hearing the news, including Zhao Jinxi who brought Hu Xiaotian here. Seeing the situation in front of him, Zhao Jinxi panicked and said: "It's bad, please don't kill anyone."
Wang Decai snorted coldly and said: "This kid has always been full of tricks. I think he is most likely deceiving."
Queen Jian's voice came from behind the bead curtain: "What's wrong with him?"
Wang Decai said: "Queen Qi, he is pretending to be crazy and acting like a fool."
At this time, the palace door opened wide, but the little princess Qiqi strode in and said angrily: "Let's see who dares to touch him!"
When Hu Xiaotian heard Qiqi's words, his heart was filled with warmth. The savior finally arrived in time. Qiqi, Qiqi, it's not in vain that I risked my life to send you to Xiezhou. You kid is quite good.
conscience.
When several eunuchs saw Qiqi arriving, they all hurriedly saluted: "See you, Your Royal Highness!"
Queen Jian also opened the bead curtain and walked out with gentle steps. She was in her thirties and had a graceful and noble demeanor, but there was a faint look of worry between her eyebrows. When she saw her daughter barging in, she said softly: "
Qiqi, why are you here?"
Qiqi pointed at Hu Xiaotian on the ground and said: "What's going on? Who caught him? Ah? Didn't I tell you that Hu Xiaotian is my savior. Even if you don't help me, you can't repay kindness with hatred."
Bar?"
Hu Xiaotian felt comfortable. Since Qiqi was here, I had escaped the disaster, so there was no need to act so exaggerated. He closed his eyes and lay straight on the ground pretending to be dead.
Queen Jian said: "Qiqi, why are you so ignorant? I called him here because he said behind my back that I had no way to teach my daughter, so..."
Qiqi said: "Isn't it true that I have no way to teach my daughter? When have you ever taken care of me since I was a child? In fact, you are not my biological mother, so you don't need to take care of me!"
"this……"
"Queen Mother, you are the master of the harem, do you deserve to be as respected as a young eunuch? If this matter spreads, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Qiqi was aggressive and did not give the queen any face.
Hu Xiaotian heard clearly and was really elated. This Qiqi was definitely not Queen Jian's biological child, but as a junior after all, how could she dare to rebuke Queen Jian in front of so many people? Moreover, it seemed that the Queen still treated her.
She acted very fearful, but she didn't get angry. It's strange. It is said that Queen Jian is the master of the harem, and Qiqi is just a little princess, and she is not her biological daughter, so why would she be so presumptuous? Could it be that the emperor is worried about Qiqi?
The Queen is much more important.
Queen Jian sighed and said, "Why did you kid talk to me? Forget it, I'm a troublemaker, Xiao Xizi, just send him back." She was obviously in no mood to argue with Qiqi.
Zhao Jinxi responded, but when he saw Hu Xiaotian still lying there motionless on the ground, he couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Qiqi knew Hu Xiaotian well enough, and knew that this guy was definitely pretending, so she kicked him with her foot, reminding this guy to know how to let it go when he sees good things.
Hu Xiaotian deliberately let out a long sigh of relief, rubbed his chest and pretended to say: "It hurts me so much..."
Qiqi said: "I still haven't thanked the Queen for not killing her."
Hu Xiaotian jumped up and quickly kowtowed: "Xiaotian thanks the queen for not killing me."
Queen Jian said coldly: "When did I say I wanted to kill you? If I really want to kill you, do you think Qiqi can protect you?" Looking at Hu Xiaotian, she felt itchy with hatred.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The Queen is kind-hearted and magnanimous. I will be of use to Xiaotian in the future. Xiaotian will fight to the death under the mountain of swords and under the sea of fire..." Before he could finish his words, Qiqi's ears were already grabbed: "Stop talking nonsense.
, leave quickly."
Looking at the departing figures of Hu Xiaotian and Qiqi, Wang Decai's eyes almost burst out with fire. He said to Queen Jian: "Queen, this man is insidious and cunning, and he has seduced the princess. I hope the Queen will learn from this."
Queen Jian said angrily: "Wang Decai, you are the one who said everything. Do you think I can't see it? You want to use my hands to vent your personal anger today!"
Wang Decai was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop: "Queen, I definitely don't mean that."
Queen Jian was so angry that she suddenly turned around and left, not even bothering to look at him again. (To be continued)
