Chapter 63 There is a bell behind the dragon chair
Qingpinghou waited for his wife to answer, but how could Mrs. Qingpinghou admit it?
"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by the wife I married for you?"
"What? The Su Gu Powder and Palm Incense were not given to me by Madam?" Qi Yunxiao asked with a sneer.
At that time, Qi Yunxiao was stunned by the Su Gu San, and was stimulated by the dominance of the palm incense, which made Shen Qingyu torment all night long.
It’s a shame just to think about it!
Mrs. Qingpinghou: "How do I know what that is?"
"Haha, why don't you ask the lame old He? Maybe he will remember something?"
Qi Yunxiao reminded her.
"Lame Lao He was no longer in the house three years ago. You are so slanderous!" Mrs. Qingpinghou refused to acknowledge him until she died.
"That's it... Then I just happened to find him. Do you want me to bring him here and you guys can confront him on the spot?" Qi Yunxiao sneered.
Mrs. Qingpinghou was choked by fate: "..."
This reaction fell into the eyes of Qingpinghou. What else is there that you don’t understand?
This lady of my own...
After coughing, Qing Pinghou looked at Qi Yunxiao: "Xiao'er, which family are you from? Where is the child?"
Qi Yunxiao laughed again: "My wife, I am a country peasant woman in Shenjia Village, Hengshui Town, Qinzhou Prefecture. I have been so poor that I have not had enough to eat in recent years. Now I am finally living a better life..."
Qingpinghou: "..."
This is a bit excessive.
After all, he is also a child of the Qingping Hou Mansion. Even if the wife he is looking for is not that noble, he still has to be able to do it, right?
If you give him a peasant woman, wouldn't it bring disgrace to the Qingping Hou Mansion?
But the child is over six years old...
Qingpinghou thought for a moment and then tentatively said: "How about taking the child back? You are now the eldest son of Qingpinghou Mansion. In terms of status, you can definitely find a noble daughter from a better family background."
He never mentioned the matter of bringing the village woman back.
Qi Yunxiao looked at Qingping Hou and his wife coldly: "So, is it really your people who want to kill my wife? Are you trying to keep the son alive?"
Qingpinghou: "I didn't! I'm not..."
I just thought of this, but I haven’t moved yet!
Mrs. Qingping Hou was also driven into panic, and sneered: "With your appearance, no one thought that you would become the crown prince, why should I kill your wife?"
"Besides, your wife is a country peasant woman. If I really favor Heng'er, wouldn't keeping your wife make you even more humble in the capital? Why do I insist on killing her? Kill her so that you can marry a rich man.
Girl, will you dominate Heng'er from now on?"
This was so true that Qi Yunxiao felt it made sense after thinking about it.
He glanced at Qingpinghou and his wife: "In that case, I'll leave first."
When he strode out of the house, the Marquis of Qingping suddenly realized: "He hasn't entered the palace to thank you yet!"
Mrs. Qingpinghou also reacted: "He hasn't given me the money for the past six months yet! The family is almost out of money!"
"Yongfu! Go quickly and bring back...the prince!" Qingpinghou hurriedly ordered.
The butler ran away and came back a moment later.
"Master Marquis, the prince ran away on horseback as soon as he went out. I don't know where he went. I couldn't catch up..."
Qi Yunxiao had already arrived at Guiyun Tower in the capital.
His previous analysis was wrong. He did not expect that in the capital, besides his confused father and black-hearted stepmother, who else would want Shen Qingyu's life.
Who wants to kill a country woman who can't be beaten with a stick?
It shouldn't be...
He sat in a private room on the third floor of Guiyun Building and thought for a while without thinking about it.
The shopkeeper suddenly knocked on the door and came in: "Master, there is a secret order from the palace, asking you to come into the palace to thank me."
Qi Yunxiao was stunned: The palace actually knew that he was back?
Do you still know that you are in Guiyun Tower?
That’s all, you can’t avoid what’s coming.
Qi Yunxiao thought for a while and entered the palace.
The middle-aged new emperor has a sharp face and is very heroic and domineering. When he looked down at Qi Yunxiao from a high position, his expression was inexplicable.
Qi Yunxiao performed the ceremony honestly: "Your Majesty, Qi Yunxiao, is here to see you. Long live your Majesty..."
"Keep your head up."
Qi Yunxiao obeyed and raised his head, openly exposing his dark forehead.
The person above looked at it for a while and then asked: "You have been traveling around the world in the past few years, and I heard that you have been taking care of your mother's dowry?"
"Yes." Qi Yunxiao did not deny it.
Since he knows that Guiyun Tower is his property, he must also know how many times he has doubled his mother's dowry over the years.
"He is a filial person..."
"In all these years of traveling to various places, have you ever found a noble girl that you like?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yunxiao's heart rang with alarm bells: "I... am already married and have three children."
"You have three children?"
"Yes. The children are over six years old."
"Whose noble family is the child's mother?"
Hey!
Ask your confused father for advice.
"She is a village woman." Qi Yunxiao answered truthfully.
"How can a village woman match the heir apparent of the Qingping Marquis Mansion? Just write a letter of divorce and I will grant you a marriage. Who do you like among the noble ladies of the Manchu Dynasty?"
"I heard that you are a good hand in business. Now the treasury is empty. How about you return to the capital and work in the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
Qi Yunxiao's scalp was numb: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I don't want to divorce my wife, I just want to grow old with her..."
"I'm not that good at business. I just opened a restaurant. Your Majesty is so complimentary."
The new emperor was also a man of action. He took a fancy to Qi Yunxiao's ability in doing business, so he directly offered him an official position and prepared a marriage.
How can anyone resist this?
The new emperor obviously did not expect that Qi Yunxiao would not accept this trick, and his eyes narrowed slightly for a moment.
"Huh? You mean, I don't know people well?"
This is so scary, who dares to admit it?
Qi Yunxiao was so frightened that he broke out in sweat. Just as he was about to find something to say, he heard a subtle bell ringing behind the dragon chair.
The new emperor's face froze slightly: "Uh... Hahaha! You are too modest!"
"It's a great skill to be able to open Guiyun Tower all over the country! When I was in Qiandi before, I often ate with people at Guiyun Tower!"
Qi Yunxiao: "???"
what's the situation?
He looked behind the dragon chair suspiciously, but he couldn't see if there was anyone behind it.
I listened carefully, but I didn't hear any breathing from behind the dragon chair.
Could it be just a coincidence?
Is it the bell on the clothes of a certain palace maid and concubine?
Putting aside the doubts in his heart, Qi Yunxiao could only bow his hands and salute: "Thank you, Your Majesty! If Your Majesty likes to eat, I can ask Guiyunlou to send you some of your favorite flavors from time to time."
"Uh... OK! You can bring over some pot-roasted pork and crystal elbows." The new emperor actually agreed! And he ordered the dishes very clearly!
Qi Yunxiao hurriedly agreed, but the emperor and his ministers babbled a few words of official flattery that were not nutritious, and then withdrew.
This is not right!
Qi Yunxiao thought all the way to Guiyun Tower.
"Eleven, go and check. When His Majesty was in the dormitory, when he came to Guiyun Tower for dinner, who did he often bring over? Did he often order crystal pork elbows and pot-wrapped pork..."
