The letter in Xiao Tianyao's hand instructing General Zhu to go to Xiwu to borrow troops is the emperor's handwriting, the emperor's tone, and the jade seal that the emperor knew where it was placed. Given enough evidence, no one will believe it.
However, Xiao Tianyao can be sure that the emperor has not woken up since he fell into a coma, and the emperor has no ability to hide from him. This letter was by no means written by the emperor himself, and judging from the color of the ink, this letter could not have been written by the emperor in advance.
If it was not written by the emperor, there is only one possibility, that is, this letter was written by someone close to the emperor, and the other party knows the emperor very well.
Who are the people close to the emperor
Xiao Tianyao pondered for a while that night, and quickly identified the suspects. They were: Empress, Concubine Zhou, Xiang Lin, and Imperial Physician Qin.
Before the emperor fell into a coma, he could often come into contact with the emperor's people. There was only Concubine Zhou in the harem, and Lin Xiang in the previous dynasty. Needless to say, Imperial Physician Qin was the only imperial physician trusted by the emperor. In recent years, the emperor did not even use eunuchs very much. Personally take care of the emperor's living.
As for the queen, it is purely because she is powerful, she is not visible in the palace, but there are spies all over the palace, and when no one has noticed her, she has already held the palace in her hands, she has the ability and motivation. Do this.
Xiao Tianyao hurried out of the palace with the food box, it was true that he would go back to accompany Lin Chujiu, but it did not prevent him from calculating people in the dark.
His opponent knew him well, he knew his opponent, and he knew himself. Both he and his opponent knew that he, Xiao Tianyao, would never give up his official duties for the sake of a woman, to accompany a woman, and he would never be foolish enough to carry a food box with a meal in order to make a woman happy. Back to the palace.
Of course, before today, he didn't think he would do such a stupid thing, but he did it, and he didn't feel awkward or dissatisfied at all, and even had a trace of joy.
Looking at Xiao Wangfu not far away, Xiao Tianyao shook his head secretly: Thinking about it, he is really crazy. If his opponent knew, I'm afraid he would also think he was crazy.
The sound of the horse's hooves, "Da da da..." was very noticeable at night, and the guards of Xiao Wangfu found it in the distance, and immediately sent someone to check it. The guard who was staying at Xiao Wangfu was dumbfounded: Wangye, come back!
"Quick, go and tell Butler Cao that the lord is back." After the initial shock and panic, the guards performed their duties. They stepped forward to lead the horse, opened the door, and announced the entry of the house. Xiao Tianyao suddenly came back and made a mess.
Butler Cao was washing his feet, and when he heard the news, he didn't even have time to wipe his feet, so he ran out wet with his shoes on, with an old face smiling like a chrysanthemum.
He knew that the prince was very concerned about the princess, but no, the two side dishes made the prince run back in the middle of the night.
"The servant greets the lord, the lord is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand thousand years old." When Cao Butler was excited, he knelt down and gave Xiao Tianyao a big gift.
Butler Cao all knelt down, and the rest of the servants didn't dare to stand, they knelt down one by one, and shouted the prince thousand years old.
"Excuse the ceremony, let me know, this month everyone in the mansion will issue double copies of the monthly case." He was charged by the emperor for collaborating with the enemy and treason. The servants of Xiao Wang's mansion did not betray him. He will treat others badly. Although he has always been short of money, he is never stingy when it comes to rewards.
Money is not saved, it is earned, it is played.
"My lord, the princess has already rewarded the servants, but the princess used the money from her own private treasury." Butler Cao didn't respond immediately, but said in a low voice.
The power of the palace is still in the hands of King Xiao. Although Lin Chujiu is the princess, he still has no right to manage the finances of the palace. Even if he wants to reward his servants, he can only use his own private treasury.
Fortunately, Lin Chujiu had a lot of private money, otherwise she would have had a harder time in Xiao Wangfu in the early days.
Sure enough, a woman can have no support from her parents, no husband's family to care for her family, but she must not be without skills and money. With money and the ability to keep money, even if the family and husband's family are not welcome, you can still live well.
Butler Cao told Xiao Wang at this time, of course, reminding Xiao Wang to show respect for the princess, and it would never be more dignified to hand Xiao Wang's mansion to the princess.
But Xiao Tianyao didn't understand Cao's suggestion at all, just nodded in satisfaction. What he was satisfied with was not Steward Cao, but Lin Chujiu. He was satisfied with Lin Chujiu's performance, and he was satisfied that Lin Chujiu began to have the consciousness of being a mistress and knew how to reward the servants in the house.
"Uh..." Butler Cao tried to persuade him, and swallowed it back, because Xiao Tianyao had already left with the food box.
From entering the mansion to the present, King Xiao has not let go of the food box in his hand. Butler Cao really wants to ask: Your Majesty, you are walking around carrying a food box, are you really afraid of damaging your majestic image
Obviously, Xiao Wangye is not afraid. If he is afraid, he will not walk all over the street with a food box, so that all his opponents know that he rushed back to the palace in the middle of the night for a food box.
Xiao Tianyao brought the food box to the small courtyard where Lin Chujiu lived. The small courtyard was located in a remote place, like a corner separated by the palace. If it hadn't been specially arranged by Butler Cao, even the patrolling guards would rarely come here.
The courtyard was dark, only Lin Chujiu's room had a faint light, and she silently told Xiao Tianyao that she had not slept yet.
With the corners of his lips slightly raised, Xiao Tianyao waved back the guards who were about to come forward and salute, and walked in with the food box. Approaching the courtyard, I could occasionally hear the sound of insects. It could be seen that there were many insects hidden in the flat ground in front of Lin Chujiu's courtyard.
This kind of place is not something that everyone wants to live in, but Lin Chujiu doesn't care. At first, she might have to live there, but now she is really used to living there, and she doesn't think there is anything bad except the inconvenience.
However, Lin Chujiu didn't feel bad, but Xiao Tianyao was not happy. The existence of this yard reminded him how badly he treated Lin Chujiu back then. Is it really what a big man would do to leave her, a weak woman, alone in a remote courtyard and let her fend for herself
What the hell was wrong with him at that time to be so harsh on Lin Chujiu? Will he disregard his identity and cultivation, and care about a little woman
Xiao Tianyao couldn't understand no matter how he thought about it. Although he was not someone who loved Xiangxiyu, he was not a bad person, at least he would not embarrass a woman for no reason. But he made it difficult for Lin Chujiu, and even when Lin Chujiu kept trying to please him, he pushed her away again and again and hurt her again and again.
Maybe, she is special and different.
Walking to the door of the room, Xiao Tianyao stopped, and after a little hesitation, he knocked on the door.
He was looking forward to seeing Lin Chujiu this time. What would his expression be like
Is it shouting with joy, or rushing into his arms excitedly
Either way, he's looking forward to it...
