053(2/2)

Yuan Cixian curled her lips: "Are you questioning my acting skills?"

Lu Shiqing of course questioned, but she saw that she refused to go to bed, so she had to say something nice: "No, being with the king is like being with a tiger, you can have less risk, even a single point is good."

Well, this is pretty good. Yuan Cixian felt relieved, so she went back to the room obediently. She just got up and walked a few steps but turned back again, and said with a purse: "It's so dark outside, don't you send me off?"

Send, send, little ancestor.

Lu Shiqing ordered the servant to bring a lantern and take her back to the yard with her hands. He waited until the candlelight in her room was lit before leaving. The next morning, Emperor Huining really sent someone to Lu's mansion to inform Hui Yuan Cixian to enter the palace.

Faced with the saint who had always been suspicious, it would be best not to hide what he could, so as not to avoid the old emperor knowing it and thinking about it in a wrong way. Therefore, Lu Shiqing told him about Yuan Cixian's residence in Lu Mansion earlier.

When the imperial edict arrived, Yuan Cixian had just finished her breakfast, rushed out, got on the carriage and went to the Daming Palace. Lu Shiqing, who was at home, took her to the door of the mansion. When she stepped back, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

It seemed as if his wife was living in the house who sent her husband to court.

He frowned and said, "tsk" and went home to read idle books and enjoy the holiday of the winter solstice.

Yuan Cixian arrived at Zichen Palace with a little nervousness. Emperor Huining smiled as soon as he saw her: "Cixian, I'll summon you to the palace after the winter solstice. You won't blame me, right?"

The person who was on the winter solstice was Lu Shiqing. The old emperor meant that he destroyed the rare leisurely lonely situation for the two of them.

Yuan Cixian smiled and said, "What is your Majesty's saying? Mr. Lu and I have a long time to come, it doesn't matter! You are anxious to find me, but is there any important matter?"

"It's a bit important." He sighed, "Cixian, I have found you the real murderer who assassinated you in Shangzhou that day. I misunderstood Shaohe before. This matter was actually done by the Jiang family."

Yuan Cixian was really stunned. When she was discussing matters with Xu Shan, she knew that the people who assassinated her were King Ping and Nanzhao. However, their hands and feet were too clean and she could not find out the evidence with her power. Now, Lu Shiqing's letter caused a thousand waves and pulled the Jiang family in?

Her just right moment was exactly what Lu Shiqing said, "No mental preparation is the best preparation." Emperor Huining saw it and explained: "Cixian, you have little to do with your sister-in-law. If I had known this, I would have stopped this marriage back then." After that, he sighed with great pain.

Yuan Cixian pretended to be ignorant and said, "Your Majesty means that my sister-in-law sent someone to assassinate me because of her long-standing personal grudge against me? But how could she not go out of one family?

Emperor Huining really thought she was simple and sighed: "Your sister-in-law really can't do it, but the Jiang family still has your sister-in-law's second uncle."

Yuan Cixian seemed even more surprised: "Your Majesty, this matter is too sudden, I have to make good sense." After that, he began to grab his head, pretending to be unable to understand, and said for a while, "Your Majesty, aren't you lying to me?"

"What did I lie to you?" Emperor Huining showed her the evidence, "This is a secret letter intercepted by my informant yesterday."

Yuan Cixian took it and took a look. This was not the letter Lu Shiqing gave to Yuan Yu earlier, but it was indeed from the Jiang family. The letter went to Shangzhou, and the content was to tell a local official to pay attention to the actions of the Yuan family recently and teach him some ways to deal with it in case of emergency needs.

After reading the letter, Yuan Cixian roughly understood. The reason why those killers were able to successfully escape under the full blockade of Shangzhou must be because of spies in the local area. The official in the letter was supposed to be their supporter.

For some reason, Jiang Min found that the official had been exposed recently, so he sent someone to write this secret letter to remind him. However, he would have been intercepted by Emperor Huining.

Yuan Cixian returned the letter to Emperor Huining with a depressed expression, sighed, pretending to be a little frustrated.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Emperor Huining naturally had to make the decision for her, so he asked, "Cixian, how do you want me to deal with this matter?"

She thought for a while and said, "Although Jiang Siqing targeted me because of personal grudges, she was honestly loyal to Your Majesty. Cixian must have made His Majesty embarrassed this time."

This is very reasonable. The old emperor said with gratitude: "It is necessary to be the master of you. I will do whatever you want me to do."

Yuan Cixian sneered in her heart. Emperor Huining might not have even broken a third-rank official for her, and this was to coax her.

At this critical moment, what she should do most is to retreat to advance.

She shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is a grudge between my sister-in-law and me. Jiang Siqing is just doing things for her family. I don't blame Jiang Siqing. If you really want to take the initiative for me, please deal with my sister-in-law."

These understanding words are very impressive.

Emperor Huining asked, "What do you want?"

"Since my sister-in-law treats me like this, then our Yuan family has her or me, and I or not. My brother is soft-hearted and may not be able to do anything. I hope you can help me sweep my sister-in-law out. This way I will relieve myself."

Emperor Huining seemed to think that her angry look was so cute, and laughed loudly, "What's the difficulty? I promised you."

Yuan Cixian and Emperor Huining had a while chatting and left the Daming Palace. The Jiang family's affairs were not over yet. She seemed to be generous in giving in today, but in fact she was laying the groundwork for the future. Driving Jiang Birou out was only the first step.

She returned to the Lu Mansion with satisfaction, and the first thing she did was to run to Lu Shiqing's yard to thank him.

Lu Shiqing seemed to have expected that she would come to thank him, so she moved the door of the study with her own hands and prepared to accept her praise, pretending to be calm: "Are you happy, satisfied?"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Cixian's praise was really unexpected. He actually rushed around his neck and hugged him and said, "Lu Shiqing, you are so awesome!"

Lu Shiqing was flattered and didn't say anything at once. Then she heard her whisper in his ear: "I'll give you a reward, okay? I heard that the reason why you are afraid of dogs is because you were kissed by dogs seven years ago..."

Before he could react, he suddenly saw her let go of his neck, then tiptoed, put her mouth up, stretched out her tongue and licked his lips, and then asked with a smile: "Is that true?"
