"What is it? The Emperor's decree?"
Ming Fei and Wei Qi were both shocked. This news was too shocking. After all, the Emperor had not come to Yongxin Palace for three years, let alone an imperial edict.
After the two of them hurriedly tidied up their appearances, they hurriedly opened the middle door to receive the imperial edict.
The eunuch who passed the order saw that Wei Qi was also in the room. Although he felt strange, he did not suspect anything. Instead, he read out the order loudly,""Pass down the emperor's orders. Eunuch Wei Qi, the in-charge of Yongxin Palace, is to quickly go to Yangxin Palace Hall to meet the emperor and receive the imperial edict!”
"This servant obeys!"
After Wei Qi received the edict, he was also filled with curiosity. He was the eunuch in charge of Yongxin Palace, why did the Emperor want to see him?
However, even though he said that, Wei Qi still accepted the imperial edict and went to Yangxin Hall.
In Yangxin Palace Hall, a man was sitting on a long chair.
He was the current emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was almost 60 years old. Although he looked energetic, he was already old.
At this moment, Wei Qi was right in front of the Emperor.
"You are Wei Qi from Eternal Trust Palace?" The Emperor's words were cold, and even more so, there was a sense of majesty that was not angry.
"Your Majesty, I am Wei Qi.”
Wei Qi nodded in agreement. He did not know what the old Emperor was up to.
"You dog slave, how dare you! He actually dared to frame the current Empress! Tell me, how many heads do you have that are enough for me to chop off!”
Who knew that the Emperor would be so angry that he threw a teacup over and it exploded in front of Wei Qi's eyes. A corner of the fragment swept past Wei Qi's eyes and made a cut on the corner of Wei Qi's eyebrow.
Feeling the Emperor's anger, Wei Qi broke out in cold sweat.
Now that the person in front of him could decide his life and death with a single word, Wei Qi immediately steeled his heart and said in a deep voice,"Your Majesty, this servant does not understand what Your Majesty is saying.”
"Oh? It seems that you are quite bold.”
The Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully scanned Wei Qi from head to toe. Then, he said coldly,""Let me ask you, how did Eunuch Gao know about the Empress 'rebellion? Did you say that?"
"Your Majesty, one day this servant happened to pass by Jing Ren Palace and accidentally heard a group of maids discussing this matter, so I told Eunuch Gao about it.”Wei Qi continued to keep his heart in his chest as his brain spun rapidly,""At that time, this servant thought that if the Empress really wanted to rebel, how would the group of servant girls know?”
"Oh? According to what you said, the Empress might have been wronged?”The Emperor continued to speak coldly as he stared at Wei Qi.
"This…please forgive this servant for being ignorant! Everything will be decided by His Majesty!"
At this moment of life and death, Wei Qi could not continue speaking no matter how stupid he was. He hurriedly kowtowed and said.
It seemed that after the Emperor had calmed down, he became suspicious of the Empress 'rebellion.
It was not that he really had any feelings for the Empress, but that he was involved in the balance of power between the imperial family and the eunuch group.
All emperors loved to play politics, especially the current Great Zhou Emperor. He was also a wise ruler when he was young.
Since he was a wise ruler, he would not allow anyone to use him to attack dissidents.
It was obvious that the Emperor was beginning to suspect that the Empress 'rebellion was linked to the struggle between the two factions in the court.
"You dog slave! How dare you!"
The Emperor took out a gold medal and threw it in front of Wei Qi. He shouted coldly,""You said you don't know? Very good, I will give you a dog slave a month to investigate this case. If there is still no result by then, bring your head to see me and get lost!”
Wei Qi held the gold medal in front of him and broke out in cold sweat.
However, before he could think too much, he hurriedly said,"Yes, sir!"
After bowing, Wei Qi left Yangxin Palace Hall.
When he came out, he was already drenched in sweat.
The wind blew, and his cold sweat immediately made him shiver.
It was only then that he noticed the gold medal in his hand, and a struggling expression gradually appeared on his face.
"This old emperor is really scheming! "Now that the Imperial Court and the Inner Palace are fighting fiercely, it's obvious that they want to use me to probe the bottom of these two factions! How is this a case? It's obvious that he wants my life!”
Wei Qi gritted his teeth and immediately figured out what the Emperor was thinking.
Since ancient times, it was not easy to offend people. Now, Wei Qi was such a character. If things went wrong, people might die.
However, the key was that the Empress 'downfall was planned by Wei Qi. Every time he thought of this, Wei Qi felt a little scared.
"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time. If it really doesn't work, I might as well slip out of this palace. The world is so big, where can't I, Wei Qi, be accommodated?”
At the thought of this, Wei Qi gritted his teeth and made up his mind. Then, he strode out of Yangxin Palace Hall.
At this moment, in Yangxin Palace Hall, the Emperor's lips also flashed with a smile.
"Hehe, this slave called Wei Qi is really a wonderful person. This kid was clever and tight-lipped. If he was sent this time, many interesting things should happen.”
When the Emperor thought of this, especially when he thought of the ingenuity of his chess piece, he couldn't help but feel proud and laugh heartily.
