Chapter 376: Palace Standoff
Chapter 376 The confrontation at the palace
“The things in the treasury were also transported out of Nanxiao Country?”
Although this was conjectured by Yin Miao and Xiao Xuan, their conjecture was quickly recognized by Queen Qi.
“Before, there were people inside and outside the capital who saw things being transported from the palace, but as far as I know, those people have been silenced. Now that the treasury has been emptied, he thought about copying the minister’s mansion.”
Queen Qi replied.
“So…you tell us this, what’s your purpose?”
Xiao Xuan confirmed again.
At this time, there was a sound of “the emperor is coming” in the distance. In order not to scare the snakes for a while, the three of them knelt down in that direction in unison.
“I think… give this country back to you. If he knows about it, he will definitely forgive me for one or two.”
Queen Qi looked at the familiar and unfamiliar bright yellow figure and said in a trance.
“If it was him, he would definitely call you stupid…”
After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, Queen Qi was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head deeply.
“I originally came to see the queen, but I didn’t think that the ninth brother and the girl from the Yin family were also here?”
Emperor Xiao looked surprised, which made Yin Miao want to give him an actor award.
“The emperor is auspicious.”
Queen Qi’s face was not good-looking. After saying these four words, she stood on the side and returned to her indifferent look.
“Since the imperial brother is here, the two of us will not bother.”
Xiao Xuan could only wish to kill the emperor who was exactly like Xiao Jingyi in front of him, but he couldn’t.
The imperial garden was surrounded by unknown guards, and even the maids and eunuchs around him were masters in disguise.
Even if they can escape successfully, the big hat of rebellion will be on their heads for the rest of their lives.
“Why is the ninth brother in such a panic, since you are here, I will order someone to hold a banquet. This time you have finally returned, and I have not had a chance to express it yet.”
Emperor Xiao said beyond doubt.
“What the emperor said is that the minister has something important to do with Miss Yin this afternoon, and the matter is very important. I’m afraid I have to go out of the palace first.”
Xiao Xuan refused directly, and Emperor Xiao’s face suddenly became extremely ugly.
“His Royal Highness King Xuan, although you are a relative of the royal family, it’s not easy to sway the holy will, so the servant still advises you…”
Eunuch Duan looked at the two with a sharp voice yin and yang, this king is really daring, this is the first time he has seen someone dare to disobey the emperor.
“Since you’re a slave, you should know your identity, and you don’t even have the self-consciousness to be a slave. How can there be such a surrogate person by your side?”
Xiao Xuan replied politely.
The atmosphere in the garden was awkward, and all the maids and eunuchs didn’t even dare to make a sound at this time.
Isn’t His Royal Highness King Xuan afraid of angering the emperor?
“Yin family girl, my ninth brother has always been straight-tempered. I heard that he listens to you the most, what do you think?”
Emperor Xiao again pointed his finger at Yin Miao.
Yin Miao raised her **** to such an Emperor Xiao in her heart, but she still replied on the surface, “If you go back to the Emperor, the little girl is stupid. She has always only known how the husband sings the wife, and the little girl…willing to listen to His Highness.”
Yin Miao’s expression was both frightened and somewhat embarrassed. This scene fell in the eyes of Eunuch Duan and others, and they scolded Yin Miao for being shameless.
What couple sing along, they haven’t gotten married yet!
“It’s a good husband and wife to sing along, I want to hear it today, what is the important thing for the ninth brother!”
Emperor Xiao was obviously a little angry, and his voice was a few degrees higher.
“The treasury is empty, and the barracks is starving. This is a big matter. I just want to donate food to our barracks in Nanxiao State as soon as possible, so as to help the emperor solve his problems as soon as possible.”
Xiao Xuan’s speech was so grand that even Queen Qi couldn’t help laughing: “It’s quite a big deal. It’s a blessing for the emperor to have a minister like King Xuan.”
“I am ashamed to be worthy of it. In this case, I also ask the Emperor Rongchen to wait until he leaves the palace, so as not to delay national affairs.”
Yin Miao only felt that Xiao Xuan’s words were very disrespectful to the emperor, and he was even better than this Emperor Xiao in terms of momentum.
“It seems that my palace can’t hold the ninth brother today, and I just heard that the ninth brother is going to donate food, are you sure?”
Emperor Xiao asked again with concern.
“The minister is sure of everything.”
No matter what Emperor Xiao asked again, Xiao Xuan answered without leaking. After the two left the palace, Emperor Xiao’s complexion became more and more gloomy.
“This king is becoming less and less concerned about the court.”
Empress Qi waved the screen and retreated from the crowd, leaving only with Emperor Xiao under the gazebo.
“The palace lord really shouldn’t have recalled him. Now King Xuan is really hidden. If it can’t be used by me, it’s better to just get rid of it.”
Emperor Xiao smashed a porcelain cup with a bang. Every day, ministers would come to persuade Xiao Xuan to hand over the food to the imperial court, but he had no intention of letting go.
Now he has to donate food to the military camp, which not only slaps the face of their court, but also makes him feel sorry for the food.
“That girl revealed something. There are indeed grain-producing valleys around Nanxiao Country. I think it would be better to send more experts to the northwest area to search. If you can directly cut off King Xuan’s grain, the emperor’s face will be reduced. Win it back.”
Queen Qi said tentatively, but Emperor Xiao’s expression clearly listened.
“You don’t have to worry about these things, just be your queen with peace of mind, and I will report to the palace master.”
Emperor Xiao thought for a while before leaving in a hurry. Xiao Xuan was going to donate food today, so he wanted to see how much food he could put out.
…
At this time, Yin Miao was waiting for the grain to ripen in the space, and complained about Emperor Xiao with Xiao Xuan: “Once I found out that he was a fake, I realized that there was nothing like the emperor.”
“He should be familiar with the emperor’s brother’s habits and imitate them everywhere.”
Xiao Xuan said, otherwise he wouldn’t start to become suspicious after seeing it twice.
“I don’t think he dared to summon you directly, just because he was afraid you would see something.”
Yin Miao was eating delicious and sweet pears, and the cool taste also drove away some of the dull atmosphere outside the space.
“There is a possibility.” Xiao Xuan did not deny this possibility.
While the two were talking, the ripe grain in front of them had already reached the top of their heads, but only ten boxes of jade produced so much grain. Yin Miao looked at the hundreds of boxes of jade around the pavilion, and suddenly felt that she was extremely rich.
No one knows when and where the food supplies in the ‘Puyu’ were delivered. When the truckloads of food were transported out of the street, people on both sides were full of people who stopped and watched.
“Your Royal Highness King Xuan is really here…”
“Is it still fake? Which day in the past two weeks have you eaten the porridge of His Royal Highness King Xuan?”
“If it weren’t for the Xuanwang Mansion, we would have starved to death long ago. We are counting on the court, hum!”
“Shhh, keep your voice down, have you forgotten those who disappeared some time ago?”
“…”
