Will he believe it?
The moment she thought of that suspicious emperor, Sirou became more uneasy.
She stuffed the note back into the bamboo tube, then walked out of the hall and waved to the palace maids: "Come here, help me dry my hair, and then tidy up my clothes. I'm going to the Qianqing Palace."
Several palace maids came over immediately.
They had a clear division of labor and helped Sirou to tidy up her appearance.

In the Qianqing Palace,
"Bastard!"
The Emperor of Daxia grabbed the document from the table and threw it at the ministers kneeling on the ground.
He was furious.
"A sixth-rank official died in such an unclear manner? Even if Jian Zengren deserves to be cut into pieces, he must obey me! He must be punished according to the law! He must go through three trials!"
All the ministers were silent.
The emperor snorted coldly.
"And! Old Seven... who gave him the power? Is the Beijing Battalion his private army?"
This accusation is even more ridiculous.
The relationship between the emperor and the prince is very delicate. As long as they do not form cliques for personal gain in the court and do not use their military power, it is definitely a beautiful picture of a loving father and a filial son.
But if you violate these two taboos...
If you say kill, you kill.
Anyway, the emperor has many sons.
However, the officials present all felt that it was okay for the Seventh Prince to send troops this time.
Although it is a bit inconsistent with his usual foolish personality.
Chu Zhongtian looked around and saw that no one dared to speak up, so he took the initiative to take the blame.
"Your Majesty, you are right. The Seventh Prince should be severely punished. He has been under house arrest for more than a month, but he still has not learned his lesson."
The other ministers were confused.
Is Chu Zhongtian possessed by evil spirits today? Why is he speaking so rudely?
Even the phrase "never learn from past mistakes" has come out...
Moreover, they had discussed before entering the palace that they would do their best to protect the Seventh Prince. Isn't this going back on their word now?
Some officials could not listen any longer and opened their mouths to speak.
But Chu Zhongtian glared at him fiercely and mouthed, “Don’t talk nonsense!”
As a civil servant leader, Chu Zhongtian's words are very useful.
The official shut up.
Seeing that no one was speaking up for the Seventh Prince, the Emperor heaved a sigh of relief.
"We acted in an emergency. Although Lao Qi's use of troops this time was not in accordance with the rules, it was very effective. We wiped out all the pirates who landed and recovered the stolen property. This can be considered as making up for the mistakes."
After hearing what the emperor said, everyone came to their senses.
Given the emperor's character, if they all spoke well of the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince would most likely end up in trouble.
Old Chu is still awesome...
Several officials cast cautious and admiring glances at Chu Zhongtian.
The emperor didn't notice their little move.
He suddenly clenched his fists.
"This time, Old Seven also believed the slander."
calumny?
The officials were stunned again.
The emperor snorted coldly, "Li Qingcha is the coach of the Young Phoenix Camp. He resolved the rioters' attack on the imperial envoy's headquarters. He also made great efforts in sending troops to annihilate the pirates. The most important thing is that before Jian Zengren died, he..."
At this moment, the eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Princess Sirou requests an audience."
The emperor was a little unhappy at being interrupted, but he still said, "Announce."
Si Rou walked into the room slowly and said in surprise, "Father, I just heard you say outside that the seventh brother has made a great contribution?"
The emperor nodded.
"Yes, it is indeed a great achievement."
"Seventh Brother is sincere about his father, and he wants to show you his love~"
"..."
Package the Seventh Prince's actions into the love of children for their parents,
The emperor was speechless for a moment.
He wanted to issue an order to summon the Seventh Prince back to the capital, but after careful consideration, he felt that Sirou was right.
Perhaps, it wasn’t Li Qingcha’s instigation, but Lao Qi’s own idea?
The emperor hesitated.
At this moment, Chu Zhongtian said, "Your Majesty, if you are worried about the Seventh Prince taking control of the capital... ahem... if you are worried about the Seventh Prince's safety, you might as well call him back now."
If you are worried about the Seventh Prince taking control of the Beijing Camp...
Although I didn't finish it, it was equivalent to saying it.
Emperor: ￣□￣｜｜
If I really recall the Seventh Prince now, wouldn't it seem that I am guilty?
He waved his hand,
"No need. My beloved son wants him to go through the ups and downs. The seventh son has been too well protected in the capital and has never had a chance to show his skills. It's a rare opportunity like this, so let him do whatever he wants."
Chapter 237 Being Played
No need to rush 800 miles,
Through the underground veins, the news from the palace reached the hands of the fortune teller in Bozhou Prefecture, who then sent it to the imperial envoy's headquarters.
The Seventh Prince let out a long sigh.
"I thought my father would reprimand me~"
Rui Yuankai smiled.
"Your Highness, why should you worry? Now, the smuggling network of Gushe Group in Bozhou has been eradicated. This is a great thing. Your Highness is probably in the Emperor's favor."
Jane is in the emperor's heart...
Thinking of this word, the Seventh Prince couldn't help but grinning foolishly, his mouth almost reaching the back of his head.
Li Qingcha sighed as he watched.
This guy is so easy to flatter.
At this time, officials from Bozhou Prefecture were reporting on the confiscation of smuggled goods, gold, silver, account books and other evidence. The two murders of the Qi and Hong families were also revealed as information from all sides was collected.
Qi's cloth shop was originally Gu's smuggling base on land. Who would have thought that after making enough money, Mr. Qi wanted to retire.
Is that possible?
As the saying goes, “Once a thief, always a bandit.” If you are a thief for one day, you will have a bad reputation for the rest of your life.
Jian Zengren and Gu She simply took ruthless action and wiped out the Qi family to make an example of them.
As a result, they were not thorough enough and Lin De escaped. Instead, Lin De used the account book to blackmail the Hong family.
Therefore, when the family was exterminated for the second time, Jian Zengren borrowed a cultivator from Gu She, the ninth-rank Nanchu Liudou, to completely wipe out the Hong family.
Such a thunderbolt method can really scare people.
But it will also plant the spark of resistance,
When Jian Zengren was about to fall, these smugglers would rather spit out all their previous profits and kick the broken house, fearing that Jian Zengren would not die.
You can make money however you want, but you must not cooperate with Yingsang anymore.
They don't want to die.
At this point, the case in Bozhou was completely concluded.
The Seventh Prince stretched himself lazily.
"My father sent a message asking me to review all the pirates and bandits in Bozhou. I didn't expect it to be over so soon."
Looking at him like this, it's obvious that he hasn't had enough.
Ao Jingshan coughed lightly.
"Your Highness, it's not over yet."
"what?"
"The environment of the islands at sea is terrible. They are all saline-alkali land and cannot be cultivated. The Gushe Group has at least two to three thousand people. If we cut off their trade network, it would be equivalent to cutting off the food supply for the army. I'm afraid..."
"Gu..."
The Seventh Prince swallowed.
He understood the hidden meaning of Ao Jingshan's words.
Gu She's men don't produce anything and can't smuggle, so they can only rely on robbery.
After all, they are not good men and women. It is better to expect the sun to rise in the west than to expect them to have a change of heart and lay down their butcher knives.
The Seventh Prince was shocked.
"Are they going to attack Bozhou? Will we be in danger?"
The officials were even more shocked than the Seventh Prince.
Li Qingcha coughed violently for a long time before he said, "Your Highness, although the soldiers in the garrison are not very good, the city walls of Bozhou are strong and the artillery is powerful. Even if Gu She had the guts of a bear or a leopard, he would not dare to come."
The Seventh Prince: “Ah…”
Dazed.
Li Qingcha continued,
"Besides, pirates are better at naval warfare and definitely don't want to go too far inland."
"This……"
"After all, they just suffered a great defeat in Tongshui. Once bitten, they are afraid of ropes for ten years. They should still focus on harassing towns and fishing villages along the coast."
The Seventh Prince was speechless.
Emmm...
I feel that it would be more appropriate to let Li Qingcha be the imperial envoy.
He cleared his throat,
"So are we going back to the capital now?"
"Your Highness, if you return to the capital, it would be like letting Bozhou be destroyed by pirates. I'm afraid you will be cursed for eternity."
hiss……
The Seventh Prince gasped.
Others tried to hold back their laughter, thinking that Li Qingcha was too mean.
Is there anyone who fools children like this?
