The next two days.
Go to court early every day.
Every morning, the Eight Kings did not attend.
The officials were surprised and didn't know what was going on.
The Eighth Prince has always been active in government affairs, so how could he be absent from the early court without any reason?
The emperor deliberately asked: "Why didn't the eight kings go to court? What happened?"
The ministers were confused and of course they couldn't answer.
Yan Qi said with a smile: "The Eighth Prince must be busy with Princess Yunyue's marriage to Moss and has no time to spare."
"I see."
The old emperor sighed with emotion: "The eight kings worked day and night for the princess's marriage, and they were so worried that they broke their hearts. I am very touched."
"However, no matter how busy you are, you still have to go to court, and the princess' wedding must be decided tomorrow."
"Eunuch Deping, after leaving the court, he immediately went to the Eighth Prince's Mansion. I must emphasize that the Eighth Prince will come to court tomorrow. I want to ask about Princess Yunyue's marriage."
"yes!"
Deping agreed.
Inadvertently, the old emperor and Yan Qi looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
…
The Eighth Prince stayed in the mansion.
His face was wrapped in gauze, and he grinned in pain.
He did not dare to go to court.
There are two reasons.
First, his face was swollen like a pig's head, purple and blue. If the swelling didn't go away, how would he be able to see people?
What do you say when you meet someone?
My front teeth also fell out, and I was in excruciating pain.
This pain was extraordinary and simply unbearable.
Second, and most important.
Princess Yunyue's errand was completely failed.
what does that mean?
He couldn't explain it to the world.
Princess Yunyue, whom he originally regarded as a treasure, has become a burden that he cannot get rid of at all.
In the court, the emperor asked, how to deal with it?
Nowadays, it is impossible to find Princess Yunyue.
Unless he is tired of living.
If he could not find Princess Yunyue, then his initiative to marry Moss would be in vain.
If this matter goes to waste, it will not only be a slap in the face, but the most important thing is that Tus City will not be able to get it back.
The city of Tusi is related to his glory and status as a wise king.
If Tusi City cannot be taken back, the status of the wise king will never be restored.
Why!
It’s so frustrating.
This time, it can really be said that there is no way forward or retreat.
That lasted two days.
Day three!
Eunuch Deping came to block the door and brought an imperial edict.
He had no way to shirk it, so he bit the bullet and came to court.
As soon as he entered the court, the officials were stunned.
Especially Yan Qi, who circled around the Eight Kings several times
: "Oops, Eight Kings, what's wrong? Your face is swollen like a pig's head, there's blood on it, and your front teeth are gone. It's so scary. Could it be that you were beaten?"
The Eight Kings quickly shook their heads: "Who dares to attack me? I am inferior to one person and above ten thousand people. How is it possible to dare to attack me? It is impossible, absolutely impossible."
How dare the Eighth Prince admit that he was beaten?
You should never talk about being beaten.
Otherwise, his status will plummet.
Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
You must not let anyone know about being beaten.
Including his confidant Tan Gang, they were all tortured to death by himself.
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "Since the Eighth Prince was not beaten, why was he in such a mess?"
All the ministers were very curious.
"Eight Kings, what exactly happened?"
"I'm very concerned about it."
…
The Eighth Prince lied bravely: "I went for a ride in the mountains, but my feet were in the air and I rolled down the mountain."
"Oh, that's it."
Yan Qi smiled slyly: "The Eight Kings rolled down the mountain. Isn't it a coincidence that he only hurt his face? Moreover, the fall was so serious, but no other parts of his body were hurt at all? This doesn't seem to be logical. "
"Ah, this..."
The Eight Kings were stunned.
I wanted to make up a lie and try to get through it, but with Yan Qi here, it was too difficult.
After hearing Yan Qi's question, the officials also guessed that the Eighth Prince was lying.
Yan Qi said in a warm-hearted tone: "Eight Kings, please stop lying. Seeing that I care so much, why do you have the nerve to talk nonsense? If you are beaten, you will be beaten. Why are you hiding it? Is it so difficult to tell the truth? ? But the majestic prince doesn’t even tell the truth and is a habitual liar. How can he be a role model for scholars?"
"I, this... I just fell down..."
Yan Qi pouted: "Lie, if you continue to lie, I'm afraid you will treat the civil and military officials of the dynasty as fools, right?"
The Eighth Prince's face was already swollen, and with this excitement, it turned black and purple, making him panic when he looked at it.
Yan Qidao: "Tell me honestly, who was beaten, tell me the name, and I will vent my anger for the Eighth Prince."
The eight kings are
I won't admit it even to death.
"No, no, I just fell from the mountain. How could I be beaten? No, absolutely not."
Hahaha!
Yan Qi laughed loudly, asking for more banter, as much banter as possible.
The officials couldn't help but laugh.
They all couldn't figure out who he was who dared to beat the Eight Kings?
What an awesome character.
The old emperor waved his hand: "Okay, okay, don't dwell on this matter. Let's talk about serious things in the court."
The Eight Kings nodded quickly: "Brother Huang is right, let's get down to business and don't waste the precious time in the morning."
Yan Qi said: "Okay, serious things are fine! Eight Kings, there is one thing that must have been settled."
The Eighth Prince pretended to be stupid: "What's the matter?"
Yan Qidao: "It's about Princess Yunyue marrying Moss. I wonder how the prince is handling it?"
"Ah, this..."
The Eight Princes were stunned for a moment.
How should he answer this?
The old emperor climbed along the pole: "I am also concerned about this issue. After calculation, today, the matter should be finished. The day after tomorrow, Xie Sanjia will take Princess Yunyue back to the Turks. Lao Ba, you are very capable, I must have already Is it done perfectly?"
"this……"
The Eighth Prince had no choice but to find an excuse: "My brother is still looking for Princess Yunyue, which has wasted time."
She wanted to use the excuse that she hadn't found Princess Yunyue yet to excuse her.
Yan Qidao: "That's not right! Princess Yunyue is in Yusong Forest. I have already told the Eighth Kings, but the Eighth Kings said they have not found her. Isn't this nonsense?"
The Eighth Prince hesitated: "How could Princess Yunyue be in the Jade Pine Forest? That place is in the wild mountains and wild mountains. The princess is a person who values her life. How could she stay in a place like that?"
Yan Qi shouted: "Eight Kings still don't admit it? OK, OK, Eight Kings, follow me to Yusong Forest now to see if Princess Yunyue is there."
"Why……"
The Eighth Prince panicked. He didn't expect Yan Qi to challenge him so angrily.
Yan Qi sneered: "What the hell? I asked you to go to Yusong Forest with me to meet Princess Yunyue, why don't you dare to go?"
Where do the Eight Kings dare to go?
If an expert from Piaomiao Palace saw him, he would be dead.
Yan Qi pressed the Eighth Kings: "The Eighth Kings obviously found Princess Yunyue, but they didn't bring Princess Yunyue back? What's the reason? How can I explain it if the errand is not done well? In front of the ministers and the emperor, Be sure to explain clearly."
