After the child's mind was read, the tyrant caught the male queen with a black face

System: [It's true... There is nothing wrong with the Minister of Rites and the Doctor of Rites. Someone instigated the messenger to make a mistake. The Queen Mother wanted to see you in advance.]

The furious Minister of Rites: ...

The aggrieved Minister of Rites: ...

Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched slightly: [This Queen Mother...if you want to see her, just go ahead. Why use such shameful means? ]

At this time, the eunuch in black also walked over and said with a smile: "Your Highness the Ninth Princess, you are back."

Yuan Ruan looked at him with a strange expression for a second, then nodded and said, "Yes."

The emperor suddenly said naturally: "Jiu'er, the status of the Great Xia State Master is respected and unconstrained. You don't have to care about other people's requests. If you don't want to do it, don't do it."

The eunuch in black was stunned.

System: [Aruan, it seems that the Emperor knows that the Queen Mother asked you to help find Qilin. Could it be that he thought you were threatened and came here to support you?!]

Yuanruan: [Hehe, I knew that Brother is the best. But after all, I received the money and bought the gifts, so I still have to do something.]

The emperor and others were stunned.

Suddenly I realized that the "silver" that the eunuch in black mentioned before was actually the cost of entrusting Jiuer to find Qilin.

The prince could not help but step forward and scratched Yuan Ruan's nose: "You, you, the palace is short of money for you. If you are short of money, come to the East Palace to find me, and I will give you whatever you want. You don't have to go out to get it."

Yuan Ruan immediately shook the purse in her hand: "Make money for yourself and support your brother." She caught a glimpse of the emperor looking at this side, and quickly added, "Support my father and sister, and be happy."

The emperor and his two men: They knew they were being held in the dark, but they were still happy.

After Yuan Ruan coaxed the three people, he took out the tortoise shell and said to the eunuch in black, "Don't worry, I'll find Qilin right away. No, I'll run away."

The black-robed eunuch was startled and bowed in fear: "I dare not."

Yuan Ruan didn't look at him. She took a tortoise shell from Qi Yue's hand and pretended to tell fortunes.

Yuanruan: [Tong'er, first find some melons related to Qilin. Come on, they give a lot of money, after all, come on, ga ga ga.]

System: [Okay, I'll look for it... I'll see where this animal described as being like a Qilin is, and whether it really exists.]

Yuanruan posed in front of the turtle shell for a long time, and couldn't help but: [Tong'er, are you done? ]

System: [Wait a minute, there are too many melons, I'm cleaning... Ah, here it comes, there is no Qilin at all, they dyed a deformed sheep and sewed a tail on it. They said everywhere that this thing is a good omen for Daxia, so they let it roam in the back mountain, I'll look for it... Oh my gosh, I thought that thing was shot dead by your seventh sister with an arrow. What should I do? ]

Everyone:...

Yuanruan continued to turn the tortoise shell calmly: [Is the animal's body still there? ]

System: [When the doctor from the Ministry of Rites came, Qi Yue did not take the prey. Not long after he left, the Qilin was eaten by wild beasts. What should we do? Even if we dig up the bones, there will be arrow marks on them. This... it is said that your seventh sister killed it? Killed Xiangrui? Wouldn't it be bad? ]

Yuan Ruan's mind moved: [That makes sense. ]

She put her hand down and looked at the eunuch in black: "Found it."

The black-robed eunuch was stunned and said hurriedly, "Please give me some advice, Imperial Master."

Yuan Ruan considered the auspicious sign and did not use the word "death". She first said some ambiguous words to the eunuch in black, and finally defined it as: "The hexagram shows that he returned to heaven and went."

The eunuch in black listened carefully and asked some tricky questions.

Yuanruan is skilled in using misleading rhetoric, with the main message being that "the responses are not to the point."

The black-robed eunuch was stunned for several times, and suddenly seemed to be relieved. His voice became lighter, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Imperial Master. I will report this to the Empress Dowager right away."

Without waiting for Yuan Ruan to react, the eunuch in black ran back to the tent quickly.

At this time, only the Queen Mother was sitting in the luxurious tent.

The Queen Mother drank her tea slowly, and when she saw the eunuch in black come in, she asked, "How is it?"

The black-robed eunuch bowed and said, "Queen Dowager, the Imperial Master said that the auspicious Qilin beast had returned to heaven, and he did not guess that the auspicious Qilin beast was fake."

They originally believed that the Imperial Master was a liar. But on the way from Mount Wutai to the capital, they collected countless intelligence, and the people of Daxia had great trust in the Imperial Master.

Moreover, not only the common people, but also the famous and powerful people said that the national teacher was a blessing to the country.

Because of this news, the Queen Mother hesitated for a long time before deciding to create a Qilin auspicious beast first, just to see whether the Great Xia State Master had real talent or was just seeking fame.

If he really is a powerful person, the Queen Mother will be prepared to return to Mount Wutai again despite her illness.

Now, the eunuch in black, seeing that Yuanruan did not expose the fact that Qilin was a fake, guessed that Yuanruan was not some powerful imperial teacher and that perhaps everything was a trap set by the emperor.

The Queen Mother smiled when she heard this: "Really? It seems I was too cautious before."

The eunuch in black hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "Empress Dowager, His Majesty is here too."

The Queen Mother paused while drinking her tea: "Oh? The Emperor is here?" After a pause, the Queen Mother whispered, "Do you think he has discovered something?"

The black-robed eunuch carefully recalled the scene when the emperor came here. No matter how he looked at it, it was all about the imperial master. He whispered, "Master, maybe it's because of the imperial master?"

The Queen Mother was stunned: "For that child?"

The eunuch in black nodded and repeated the conversation outside the tent in detail, even the vibrato of his voice was perfect.

The Queen Mother seemed to be mocking: "Like? Impossible... maybe there are other secrets." After a pause, he calmed down and said, "Okay, prepare to return to the palace to attend the welcoming banquet and continue with the plan."

The eunuch in black quickly agreed.

……

At the same time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were busy as hell.

On this day, they carried out - preparing for the ceremony, abandoning the ceremony, preparing to postpone the ceremony. Now that the emperor is here in person and the empress dowager is willing to return to the palace, very good, the welcoming ceremony and banquet will begin immediately.

The most terrifying thing is that the emperor has already arrived and cannot be kept waiting too long.

Similarly, the ceremonial procession for the Queen Mother's return to the palace cannot be reduced too much.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were almost on the verge of collapse: the resentment of the thousand-year-old ghosts was not as great as theirs, and they would spit at any dog ​​that passed by.

As for the Daxia officials who arrived one after another, they were secretly watching the tug-of-war between the emperor and Yuan Ruan.

Emperor: "Jiu'er, go back and rest early."

Yuan Ruan: "Jiu'er will stay here with father."

The emperor couldn't persuade Yuan Ruan, but he couldn't bear to be mean to her, so he looked at the prince.

Prince:......

The prince also stepped forward to give some advice, but this time there was no need for Yuanruan to act coquettishly, Qi Yue just gave a reason back in a neither cold nor harsh manner.

The prince looked at Yuanruan and Qiyue for a while, first handed Yuanruan to Qiyue, then came close to the emperor and whispered, "Father, why do you have to send my ninth sister back to the palace?"

The emperor lowered his voice and said, "Prince, your grandmother seems to have some connection with the Chu State." The subtext: Aren't you worried about your family's dirty laundry being exposed? !

The crown prince and the minister of rites' pupils trembled: "This, this..."

The prince understood it instantly. To be honest, he was also a little confused.

But soon, he whispered, "Father, I think that all the embarrassing gossips about the Great Xia royal family have been told. As for my grandmother..." The prince's expression became serious, "If my grandmother really has entanglements with the enemy forces, the court will definitely carry out a major purge, and it will be impossible to hide it. I even thought that exposing this layer in the form of a "melon" might make the ending better."

At this point, the prince's tone even became relaxed: "In this case, father, what do we have to worry about?"

The emperor thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
