The first thing Lou Jinhuan did when he got up the next day was to ask people to check the people around the third prince. At noon, he received detailed information.
This efficiency gave her a deeper understanding of her status and power.
Xiao Qi is on the second page. He is not among the core confidants of the third prince. He usually does some intelligence gathering tasks for him. The third prince seems to be a little afraid of him.
Lou Jinhuan tapped his fingertips on the table. Something was wrong. Xiao Qi's martial arts skills were so high and he didn't look stupid. Such a person was still loyal. Why not reuse him?
Not reusing and refusing to give up, I put him in a position that is neither far nor near, full of contradictions.
There must be something wrong with this.
She picked up a pen and wrote their names on the paper, and drew a question mark in the middle.
Then he continued to look down and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Sister?"
Xiao Qi also has a younger sister?
001: [Yes host, Xiao Qi also has a biological sister who has the same father and mother. If you want to attack him, you may be able to start with this sister. 】
Lou Jinhuan nodded: [By the way, has the favorability level increased? 】
001 sighed, [Oh, it has gone up, but after he struggled for half an hour, it went up to three points. It originally reached a maximum of ten points, but then it dropped all the way, and it reached three points. Why is he so awkward? Tangled ah? 】
[It’s okay to be entangled, I just like to see the male protagonist getting entangled and falling into trouble, hehe]
[Oh, it’s a hostile stance. It would be strange if you don’t hesitate, but you can’t help but be tempted even though you know it’s wrong. Isn’t it nice to see it? I get excited just thinking about it. 】
[Stop talking, I was twisting and turning on the bed. My mother was next door thinking there was an earthquake and told me to get out of here.]
Lou Jin smiled happily, put down his pen and touched Xiao Qi's name, his eyes were gentle and hot, "It doesn't matter, there are three points that prove that he is not indifferent. I know how to attack him." 】
"Sir, Your Majesty sent someone to escort you to the palace!" Su Yuan stood at the door of the study and shouted.
No one is allowed to enter the study without Lou Jinhuan's permission, and Su Yuan is no exception.
Lou Jinhuan calmed down his emotions, pulled out a piece of paper from underneath and covered it, then stood up and opened the door.
When Su Yuan saw her coming out, he lowered his head respectfully, "Do you want to pass the sedan chair?"
"pass."
Lou Jinhuan walked towards the corridor as he spoke, "I'll go back and change my clothes. You can take the snow-clad guard to wait at the door."
"yes."
…
Lou Jinhuan changed into a white cross-collar robe, covered with tulle of the same color. The wide robe and wide sleeves made her look as airy as a fairy. With the mask, she felt even more mysterious.
As soon as she left the house, she felt countless eyes falling on her.
Overtly and covertly, they have different thoughts.
She ignored it and went straight to her imperial chariot.
The sedan chair was very large, requiring eight people to carry it. It was surrounded by white gauze curtains, and golden bells and sachets were hung at each corner. It rang all the way, and the fragrance filled the streets. Wherever it passed, the people avoided it, showing awe and curiosity.
Lou Jinhuan was sitting in the middle, feeling that he was really about to ascend to immortality. Should he say it or not, this scene was indeed interesting and ostentatious, and he was really not afraid of being targeted.
She rested her head on one hand and listened to the bell ringing all the way, and finally stopped at the entrance of the palace.
However, she had special privileges in the palace, and she did not have to walk alone when entering the palace. Someone would pick her up every time with a chariot.
To her, the difference is whether there is a curtain or not.
Finally, after struggling a lot, she met the current emperor, her cheap father, in the royal study room.
Before she came, she thought a lot about what he looked like, but when she saw the real person, she was still dazzled.
The person in front of me looks quite young, maybe in his early thirties, not to mention very tall, and one can infer that from the appearance of the original owner.
He sat there, speechless, just like the immortal in the painting, without any majesty of an emperor.
"I have met your Majesty. May your Majesty be safe."
Lou Jinhuan cupped her hands and saluted. This was also her privilege. She did not have to salute when meeting the emperor and the concubines.
Therefore, she had a guess in her mind.
"Without courtesy, I will give you a seat."
When the emperor spoke, his voice was gentle and gentle.
Lou Jinhuan: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
She sat down on a chair on the side and then looked up at the emperor. The emperor looked at her with obvious worry, "I heard that assassins broke into the Imperial Prefect's Mansion again last night? What happened to those snow-clad guards?" ? Do you want me to send more people over? Are you injured? "
Lou Jinhuan's feeling became more obvious.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I'm fine. All those assassins have been killed."
"You're really not hurt?" The emperor looked at her with distrust, "I heard that someone sneaked into your bath?"
Lou Jinhuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who did your Majesty listen to?"
Not many people know about this.
"Don't be nervous. I don't mean to spy on you. It's just that there are always people ready to take action during this period. I am afraid that something will happen to you, so I have arranged for an informant to be in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion. If anything critical happens, I will ask the palace for help as soon as possible."
Before Lou Jinhuan spoke, he added, "If you really don't like it, I'll just go back and remove you."
"No need to bother, just keep it." Lou Jinhuan lowered his eyes, becoming more and more certain that the emperor might have known her identity. Otherwise, how could an emperor take care of a minister in every possible way? Not even a little bit tempered.
"Then tell me, why did you let one of them go? Was it because you wanted to catch the big fish in the long run?"
"That's right. Your Majesty called me here today for this reason?"
"Alas." The emperor sighed with unknown meaning, "There are still five days until August 23rd. At this time in previous years, you would go to Lanyun Temple to stay for a few days to pray for the country, but the assassin incident just happened. I feel uneasy and want to ask you if you are still going this year?"
"Go, praying for blessings is a big deal, I will go on time."
Lou Jinhuan's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. The emperor nodded and smiled relievedly: "I know you won't change your mind. Let the imperial army escort you when the time comes. I still can't believe those snow-clad guards. They let the assassins enter the bath this time. Incompetent bungler."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lou Jinhuan did not refuse.
The emperor felt better, beckoned and said: "Come, play chess with me for a while, and have lunch before leaving."
"yes."
…
The two sat on the couch opposite each other, playing chess quietly, and the emperor would look at the building from time to time.
[The emperor must know Loulou’s identity. This is clearly the way a father looks at his daughter! 】
[I also think that the tone is also pampering and tolerant towards the younger generation. Tsk, at this time, I know I feel sorry for my daughter. 】
[No, since he recognized it, why didn't he show it off? Doesn't he want to recognize his daughter back? 】
Lou Jinhuan was also thinking about this problem, but until after the meal, the emperor didn't say anything and only asked her to be more careful.
He pretended to be confused, and Lou Jinhuan was happy to act with him. After thanking him, Shi Shiran left.
