The most romantic little emperor

Three days in a row.

Li Shishi never left the house. Apart from playing the piano and singing songs, she drank tea and admired the flowers. She was quiet and did nothing.

The woman in black who assassinated Guo Jia was executed for three days and was scraped a thousand times before she died.

However, Li Shishi seemed to have no reaction to this matter, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Even the ban on weapons that had caused a lot of controversy a few days ago had calmed down under the iron-blooded suppression of the imperial court.

"Have you found any clues in Hedong?" Qin Hao asked indifferently.

Elder Feng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we have received a reply. The military, the Imperial Guard, and the Heroes' Pavilion have all gone to investigate, but those forces seem to have suddenly disappeared, and even those officials have cut off contact with all of them."

"Illegally run iron mines have been shut down, as have many brothels. Counterfeiting dens have been deserted, and the trafficking of illegal salt and human trafficking has also ceased."

"Even the local wealthy merchants and gentry, as usual, began to provide porridge and food to the refugees. The whole of Hedong was thriving."

"Investigators suspect that Prince Ning's forces suddenly vanished. They either moved those people and things away, or hid them in a more secluded place."

Qin Hao's eyes widened with anger when he heard this, and he said dissatisfiedly: "This matter is not that simple. Investigate it thoroughly and thoroughly."

"Three hundred thousand people and so much military supplies cannot be transferred so quickly. There must be clues left behind."

"Also, where is Gongsun Zan now?"

Elder Feng bowed and said, "Lord Gongsun has volunteered and is already on his way to Hedong. This time, he is going there to investigate the case and uncover the forces behind it."

Qin Hao stood up, looking at the bright autumn sunshine, frowning, and said in a deep voice: "Notify our military, Jinyiwei and Yingxiong Pavilion in Hedong to ensure the safety of Gongsun Zan."

"I don't want to see things like that happen to Lord Guo again."

"Also, the beginning of winter is just over a month away. With the freezing weather, the situation in northern Xinjiang will become even more unstable."

"Time is short. I must eradicate Prince Ning's influence in Hedong within a month or so."

"Otherwise, there will be internal and external troubles!"

There was a hint of helplessness in Old Feng's cloudy eyes.

Your Majesty has worked diligently to govern the country, yet so many major events have occurred in just a few months. Is this a test from God?

Qin Hao suddenly thought of Zheng Zhiruo and raised an eyebrow. "The Zheng and Cui families are fighting fiercely right now. What are the attitudes of the other aristocratic families?"

Elder Feng bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, these aristocratic families are deeply intertwined, and there are even marriages between them. I heard that at the beginning, someone stood up to try to reconcile the two families."

"But now they are sitting on the sidelines watching the fight between the two tigers, choosing not to help either side."

Qin Hao narrowed his eyes, and the whole person became more calm, muttering to himself: "The aristocratic families focus on interests. Compared with the Su family back then, they are more terrifying."

As he spoke, he suddenly opened his eyes and said decisively, "Old Feng, send out all these newly trained Jinyiwei and thoroughly investigate these aristocratic families. I want to see how well they are trained."

Feng Lao clasped his fists and half-knelt, saying, "Yes! I'll do it right away!"

Qin Hao sighed softly and said calmly: "Well! Get up!"

Elder Feng stood up and talked about another matter, "Your Majesty, Lord Fan came to me today and I want to seek your opinion on something."

Qin Hao frowned secretly and asked softly, "Where is he?"

Feng Lao smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, when he came, you were at Concubine De's place. I didn't dare to disturb him, so I let him go first."

Qin Hao smiled awkwardly and said, "Tell me! What's the matter? It's really strange that a dignified minister like him can't make up his mind."

Old Feng smiled apologetically and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just the leader of the thieves who robbed the execution ground a few days ago. He was very stubborn. I interrogated him for several days but didn't get anything useful out of him."

"Master Fan, do you think you should behead him and put him in public? Maybe we can catch a big fish."

Qin Hao shook his head and laughed, "Master Fan is really dreaming of using the same old trick again."

"Go back and tell him to release the man."

Feng Lao was a little puzzled and asked: "Why?"

Qin Hao smiled maliciously and said, "Didn't Lord Guo give us a list of officials that we can use?"

Feng Lao understood instantly and said tentatively, "You mean to have our people impersonate them and rescue the thief leader from prison, and then follow the clues and catch them all in one fell swoop."

Qin Hao nodded and said with a sly smile, "Isn't Li Shishi very patient? I just won't let her have her way."

"It would be best to implicate them together and catch them both red-handed. I want to see how she can argue then."

Feng Lao flattered his horse, "Your Majesty is wise! I will go find Lord Fan and discuss this matter."

Qin Yun hummed, took a sip of hot tea, walked out of the pavilion, opened his arms, and enjoyed the beauty of nature.

The sun is shining brightly, autumn is in full swing, the ancient palace is full of ancient charm, and the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, it is really beautiful.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed and he looked at the figure in the distance.

"Who is that? Why is there a child in the harem?"

The eunuch beside him took a look and quickly reported: "Your Majesty, that is Concubine Dong, and the little girl is Ye's youngest daughter."

"Didn't you send this little girl to study at the Imperial Academy a few days ago? It just so happened that the Dowager saw the little girl and took a liking to her. She would occasionally bring her to the harem to play."

Qin Hao nodded and walked over.

The little girl Ye Xiaorui was like a porcelain doll, very lovable. He met her once and even missed her a little.

Qin Hao saw the two of them in a sea of ​​flowers.

The two of them chased and played with each other, the big beauty and the little beauty, as poetic and picturesque as sisters, and even more like mother and son.

Qin Hao was stunned because Concubine Dong's smile was so beautiful, as if it could melt all the ice and snow in the world.

At this moment, she was wearing a crimson phoenix robe, and what attracted Qin Hao's attention even more was her graceful figure under the robe.

She has red lips and white teeth, a nose as white as goose fat, cheeks as rosy as fresh litchi, and beautiful eyes as bright as the moon in the sky, charming but not coquettish.

A peerless beauty, delicate facial features, luxurious and dignified temperament, as graceful as a startled swan.

Just one look at it makes you unable to look away.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Dong Sisi suddenly stopped, her eyes lit up, and an intriguing smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Ever since she discovered Su Ziyan and Qin Hao's affair, her attitude towards them has been ambiguous.

However, Su Ziyan went to see her for several days in a row, telling her about Qin Hao's masculinity and power, which made her miserable.

Today, I finally managed to avoid Su Ziyan and brought Ye Xiaorui to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the flowers, but I didn't expect to meet Qin Hao here unexpectedly.

Qin Hao walked over and said with a smile, "Have I disturbed you?"

Dong Sisi shook her white jade hand nonchalantly and said with a faint smile, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. It's nothing to bother you."

"I heard from Concubine Su that Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, often working day and night to review memorials and handle government affairs, and rarely has any free time."

"Why do you feel like visiting the Imperial Garden to admire the flowers today?"

Working day and night, is that something a human being would do?

Besides, when had he ever tried so hard? Even he was a little confused.

Qin Hao couldn't help but mutter inwardly, then said, "As the saying goes, a balance between work and rest is essential. Locking yourself up in the imperial study all day is like being imprisoned. You won't be able to handle state affairs well."

"Work and rest?"

Dong Sisi nodded thoughtfully, revealing a charming smile and gently parting her red lips: "Well, Your Majesty, this statement is quite novel."

At this time, Ye Xiaorui interrupted their conversation, knelt carefully on the ground, and kowtowed, saying, "I...I pay my respects to the Emperor."

Qin Hao quickly picked up Ye Xiaorui and said with some heartache: "I will give you a privilege. You don't have to kneel in the future!"

Ye Xiaorui sniffed hard, and her delicate face turned a little red, which looked very beautiful.

She said in a childish voice, "But, but my mother said that I must kneel when I see His Majesty. She also told me not to cause trouble in the palace and to apologize if others are unhappy."

When Qin Hao and Dong Sisi heard this, a trace of heartache flashed in their eyes.

This porcelain doll is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed!

Qin Hao pinched her pink cheeks and smiled slightly, "It's okay, just listen to me."

Ye Xiaorui nodded, seeming to understand, and then, with a hint of timidity, she looked up and asked, "Your Majesty, my mother has been in a bad mood recently, and someone has been scolding her again. Can you please do something about it?"

Qin Hao's face turned cold. Ye Xiaohu was his adopted son, so the Ye family's affairs were naturally his business.

Now someone is bullying them, an orphan and a widow. How can he not be angry?

"Luo Yang, get out here right now and investigate to see who is cursing the Ye family behind their backs!" Qin Hao said angrily.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Luo Yang suddenly came to his senses and left the palace immediately.
