Chapter 30: The Cold and Arrogant Master is Actually a Great Enemy
All sounds are silent.
There were a lot of people present.
The Queen Mother, the Princess, Qi Rong, and countless palace maids and eunuchs.
When everyone heard Xiao Jin say this, they held their breath.
Empress Dowager Qi stared at Xiao Jin in a daze, with a hint of regret in her heart.
Since the death of the previous emperor and she became the empress dowager, although Xiao Jin was not very filial to her, the two of them had always kept to themselves and lived in peace.
But today, Xiao Jin was so determined to search the Chang'an Palace, he must have discovered something!
Queen Mother Qi panicked, her face turned pale, and her voice was extremely unnatural, "Your Majesty, I am the Queen Mother."
Xiao Jin just looked at her, the smile on his face slowly faded and finally became hypocritical.
"You are the Queen Mother... Since the Queen Mother doesn't want to, then forget it."
Xiao Jin did not insist, and turned to look at Shi Li, "An An, the Queen Mother needs to have a good rest, come with me, don't disturb her."
"Well, I'll take my leave." Although Shi Li didn't know what had happened, he tried his best to cooperate with Xiao Jin and followed him out of Chang'an Palace.
There were actually many armored guards standing outside the Chang'an Palace.
Shi Li immediately spotted Shao Quan, who seemed out of place among them.
The reason why he is out of place is that he is too outstanding, making anyone only see him at first sight.
Shi Li didn't expect him to be here, so he stopped and was dazed.
Shao Quan was also looking at her, not being as shy as he was last time.
Shi Li discovered that there seemed to be more emotion in those beautiful phoenix eyes than before, but before she could understand it, Xiao Jin spoke again.
"Wenyu, how is it going?"
Upon hearing this, Shao Quan retracted his gaze from Shi Li and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."
"That's good." Xiao Jin narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "Thank you for your hard work."
Shi Li stood nearby, not knowing what the two were talking about.
I just felt that these two people were a little abnormal today, and I don’t know what they did behind her back.
But if it was something she should know, she believed Xiao Jin would not hide it from her, so she didn't care.
"Brother, I'll go back to Yuli Palace first. I haven't had breakfast yet."
She thought Xiao Jin and Shao Quan still had things to do, so she found an excuse to leave.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jin wanted to go with her. "It just so happens that I don't have breakfast, so let's go to An An's place for a meal."
"OK then."
The brother and sister walked away from the guards and Shao Quan. Everyone bowed their heads respectfully, except Shao Quan.
He looked at Shi Li's back in silence, her face so distant and blurry.
[Hiss... Why do I feel like the Grand Master is going to turn evil? ]
【I think you are right! 】
[I'm just curious about what the Qi family and the Queen Mother are planning? ]
In fact, Shi Li was also very curious.
When we returned to Yuli Palace, breakfast was already prepared.
A plate of hot kidney bean rolls was placed in the most conspicuous position in the center of the table.
Shi Li cheered, walked to the table, picked up a piece and took a bite.
The soft and sweet taste instantly captured her taste buds, making her squint her eyes and reveal an expression of enjoyment.
Xiao Jin sat next to her, looking at her with a smile.
After finishing the whole piece, Shi Li breathed a sigh of relief, and finally couldn't help but turn her head to look at Xiao Jin, "Brother, even if I ate kidney bean cake in Chang'an Palace just now, will it be okay?"
"An An is the most noble princess. She can eat whatever she wants." Xiao Jin did not give a specific explanation, but just one sentence let Shi Li know the answer.
Shi Li secretly stuck out her tongue, thinking that she should not have overturned the plate, what a pity for wasting those kidney bean cakes.
But her attention was soon drawn to the other dishes on the table, and she was too lazy to think about those trivial things.
Xiao Jin stayed beside her, watching her innocent and bright smile, recalling the Qi family's dirty tricks, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes from time to time.
Qi Rong thought that during the time she had stayed in Yuli Palace, she had seen through Shi Li.
She teamed up with the daring Qi family and secretly brought such a disgusting thing as the sleeping pill to Chang'an Palace, trying to hide it in the pastries and then let Shi Li eat it unknowingly.
However, the sleeping pills had been replaced with sweet pollen when they were sent to Chang'an Palace, and Xiao Jin would never let Shi Li suffer any danger.
As for what the Qi family wants to do to Shi Li, we will know by seeing who Shao Quan catches.
At this moment, the handsome young master who looked like an immortal was standing in a secret dungeon. The corners of his snow-white clothes were out of place with the dim surroundings.
He was also different from any time before. His flawless face was shrouded in a faint light, and he looked at the embarrassed man in front of him expressionlessly.
Today was supposed to be Qi Haomu's day off, but Shao Quan found him in the vegetable cart being transported into the palace.
When his men brought Qi Hao in front of him, Qi Hao was only wearing a thin shirt.
Afterwards, the person who contacted Qi Hao was also arrested.
Not everyone has backbone. The contact person almost immediately told him what he had to do - to send Qi Hao to Chang'an Palace without anyone noticing and hide him first.
Xiao Jin knew that Qi Rong had been speaking well of Qi Hao in front of Shi Li recently, and Shao Quan had of course also heard him sneer and mock him.
Based on the current situation, how could Shao Quan not understand what the Qi family was going to do?
The immortal-like man had a layer of ice on his face, and looked at Qi Hao as if he were a dead man...
After accompanying Shi Li to finish breakfast, Xiao Jin saw that she was not affected at all, left with peace of mind, and turned back to the Imperial Library.
Ma Wei and Shan Yi were waiting for him.
Seeing him, Ma Wei stepped forward and handed him a small paper bag, which contained the drug that had been replaced with another drug.
"Your Majesty, how should this be handled?" Ma Wei knew how meticulous the young emperor in front of him was, so he did not dare to make a decision on his own.
Xiao Jin looked at the paper bag in his hand with gloomy eyes, and finally chuckled and turned to Shan Yi, "What do you think?"
Shanyi looked stern and knelt on one knee in front of Xiao Jin, "It's all up to your Majesty."
"Return it to whoever wants it and brought it." Xiao Jin walked up to the throne, his tone light, as if floating in the clouds.
Ma Wei shuddered all over and handed the paper package to Shanyi like a hot potato.
Shanyi still had no expression on his face. He took the paper bag steadily and stepped back.
Only Ma Wei was left. He glanced at the emperor who was resting with his eyes closed on the throne and wanted to leave.
Just at this moment, the eunuch outside said, "Shao Quan wants to see you."
Xiao Jin opened his eyes, and Ma Wei seemed to be pardoned. He understood and went out to get the person.
But when he went out and saw Shao Quan, he was stunned again. Why did he feel that this person was more terrifying than His Majesty?
Ma Wei was a little confused, but he didn't dare to delay and walked back with Shao Quan.
He lowered his head inadvertently and his pupils suddenly widened. Lord Shao, who was always as elegant as a banished immortal, actually had a little scarlet stain on his snow-white sleeves!
"Tell me, how did you deal with it?"
Ma Wei held his breath in shock, but heard Xiao Jin above him asking leisurely.
