Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Qiao Lian'er watched the young man step over the treetops and fly over the rooftops, lightly and nimbly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the direction of the corner, he should have caught up with the other party.

"Pei Er, come on." She said silently.

Maybe tonight, we'll know the truth.

She had just quickly set dozens of points, which was very tiring. She supported her knees and took a break for a while, then went back home to wait for news.

The lights in Qiao's house were warm, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

Now there are four nephews and nieces in total, accompanied by my mother and the maids, gathered in the west warm pavilion.

Qiao Laoer, Dayong, Xiao Meng, and several city gate guards were drinking tea in the living room, and everyone had a serious expression.

But they did not convey such emotions to the women in their families.

Qiao Jianer walked in.

This was also the first time Qiao Jianer appeared in these days, and the men immediately stood up.

"Jian'er, please sit down. You have been working hard recently." Dayong said.

After Qiao Jianer sat down, they waited for her to speak. There must be some progress, but Jianer reacted calmly and they couldn't tell anything.

The servants had already left, and Xiao Meng poured her tea with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

He kept the secret from the women in the family and only told them that he had to intensify training during this period, so no one else could come back.

But they knew that the territory was under martial law and people were not allowed to go out. This would only be done when something urgent happened. In addition, they heard rumors that military secrets had been leaked to the enemy country. This happened within the Qiao family army, so of course they were worried.

After these days of fermentation, I am afraid that the news has reached the ears of the emperor.

Now that the emperor had not made any statement, they became even more uneasy.

Qiao Jianer looked at them. There were red bloodshot eyes in the men's eyes and their faces looked haggard. It was obvious that they had not slept well and were too worried.

"After investigating for a while, we found an important informant tonight. Pei Er has already caught up with him. Everyone, just wait for the news."

"It's best to prove the Qiao family's innocence before the emperor asks, so as to avoid trouble." Although Qiao Jian'er had made all the preparations, she was under pressure from the emperor, and she was eager to catch the man behind the scenes as soon as possible.

The men all knew what she meant. They were waiting anxiously, but since Jianer was getting closer to the truth, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"What is going on? I heard that a secret was leaked. What secret is it?" Qiao Laoer couldn't help but ask.

"It's a formation for deploying troops. As soon as a new formation is developed here, the Kingdom of Qilu will immediately follow suit, even training on the border. So it's natural that the Emperor can't hide it."

Dayong snorted, "They really have a plan. First, they want to put pressure on Daze State, and second, they want to smear the Qiao family."

Qiao Lao Er pondered with a serious expression: "Anyone who does this kind of thing must be dissatisfied with Daze State, and may also have a grudge against the Qiao family."

Qiao Jian'er's heart moved. Second uncle's words reminded her. If that was the case, who could it be?

At this time, Butler Chai came outside the living room, and the people inside immediately stopped talking.

It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that for things like this, the fewer people who know about it, the safer it is.

"Princess, Eunuch Qi from the palace has come and summoned you to come in, but he said he won't be coming in for tea."

At this time, the emperor wanted to meet someone, and the men suddenly became tense.

Qiao Jianer calmed down and said calmly, "It's tonight anyway."

She believed that Pei Shijiu would not embarrass herself.

After changing into palace attire and going outside, I discovered that Eunuch Qi's expression was different from before. He seemed serious and alert.

He didn't reveal it too much, but Qiao Jianer was able to catch it keenly.

Eunuch Qi has always been the emperor's mouthpiece. His appearance, his words and deeds all represent the emperor's intentions. The emperor has heard the news for a long time, and I believe he has been unable to eat or sleep well, and has many confusions in his heart. Eunuch Qi sees it all, and the master and servant are of one mind.

"Princess, the emperor wants to see you, please come in." Eunuch Qi asked with his whisk, and without saying much, he got on the sedan chair.

Qiao Jian'er also stepped into the carriage of the Qiao Mansion. When she entered the palace before, Eunuch Qi was always enthusiastic and lively. He said that the emperor was thinking about her lychees again and asked her how she was doing. But now she leaned back in the sedan chair and closed her eyes to rest.

Qiao Jianer remained silent.

It was late at night and there were not many people on the street. The sound of carriage wheels rolling over the ground was clearly audible.

The journey into the palace this day seemed longer than before, and Qiao Lian'er felt a little suffocated.

Although she still has some abilities and means, she cannot live in the face of imperial power if she is ordered to die.

The imperial palace was in sight. The palace gate, which seemed ordinary at ordinary times, appeared exceptionally majestic and solemn today. It was painted vermilion, like a huge bloody mouth.

A carriage stopped outside the gate of the Second Palace. Qiao Jianer got out and Eunuch Qi couldn't help but glance at her.

Seeing her holding her hands and walking steadily, he wondered in his heart, doesn't the princess know why the emperor summoned her to see him so late at night?

She was not panicked at all, but rather calm and composed.

I don’t know if she can pass this hurdle.

No matter how much the emperor values ​​a person, he will not easily let go of some things that violate his principles, no matter if they were really done or he was wrongly accused.

The former will have their property confiscated and their entire family destroyed, while the latter will be severely punished as a warning to others, and they will also be skinned alive.

After entering the Golden Palace, the emperor did not stay in the study as before, but sat on the main throne, releasing a kind of pressure continuously.

Qiao Jian'er quickly glanced at the emperor's face out of the corner of her eye. The emperor had no expression. He looked at her calmly with cold eyes.

As the Son of Heaven, the more this attitude he has, the more terrifying it is.

Qiao Jianer knelt down respectfully and saluted.

The emperor did not let her get up. He shook the Buddhist beads in his hand, which made a rustling sound, like blood spurting out of his chest.

For a moment, Qiao Jianer thought of a saying: To serve the king is like serving a tiger.

After looking at her for a while, the emperor slowly spoke: "During this period of time, you haven't thought about coming to see me."

"Your Majesty, there's something going on in the fiefdom, and I'm busy dealing with it. I'm afraid Your Majesty will be upset if I hear about it. I'm thinking, once I've figured everything out, I'll come back to see Your Majesty and report everything truthfully, from beginning to end, with reason and evidence."

Qiao Jianer knew that at this time, no matter how many tricks he used, it would not be as good as telling the truth.

The emperor is suspicious right now, and only honesty can offset his resistance.

"I want to listen now."

"As you command, Your Majesty, please take a look at this first."

Qiao Jianer took out two notes from his sleeve and handed them to Eunuch Qi, who presented them to the emperor.

The emperor took a look and said: "This is a formation diagram, it doesn't look like the handwriting of your Qiao family."

"Two soldiers were bribed by the informant of the Qinu Kingdom in the Daze Kingdom to pass on the newly developed formation in exchange for silver and money."

Qiao Jianer conducted a military demonstration at the border of the Qinu Kingdom and blocked the camp for training. He finally captured two soldiers and found an informant through the soldiers. He reported all the details.

The emperor spoke quietly, "Since this concerns the interests of our country, you shouldn't have kept it a secret from the beginning. Do you truly sympathize with my hard work and don't want to cause me any trouble, or do you have other plans?"
