What is the relationship between Chapter 129?
Qiu Changye took Qi Shuo all the way into the palace.
Qi Shuo had been tortured by Qiu Changye these days, and his injuries had not healed yet, but he could only limp into the palace.
This magnificent palace was the first time Qi Shuo had set foot in. Although the palace was huge, it was filled with a suffocating feeling that made people hold their breath as soon as they entered.
He was led step by step into the imperial study. Qiu Changye asked him to wait outside and went in himself.
Qi Shuo raised his eyes and saw several palace maids and guards looking at him with strange eyes, but Qi Shuo didn't care.
After a while, Qiu Changye came out and called Qi Shuo, saying, "His Majesty has allowed you to come in. Come with me!"
Qi Shuo stepped into the palace in silence, walked around the screen, and saw the bright yellow figure sitting on the throne.
The abbot is a man in his forties, and his many years of high position and power have endowed him with a great bearing.
Qi Shuo looked at him with a slightly sharp look in his eyes.
Qiu Changye was the first to shout coldly: "Qi Shuo, how dare you! Who allowed you to look directly at Jun Yan!"
Qi Shuo lowered his head and bowed slightly, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Qi Shuo, why don't you kneel when you see His Majesty?" the eunuch beside the emperor scolded.
Qi Shuo frowned slightly, but still knelt down: "Greetings, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please atone your sins."
The emperor was now eager to move to the family of the Duke of Ying, Xie, and did not care about these etiquettes at all. He looked at Qi Shuo and asked, "Qi Shuo, Lord Qiu said that you have something to say to me in person. Now you can say it!"
Qi Shuo raised his head slightly, looked directly at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I just want to talk to you alone!"
Qiu Changye was the first to object, "Your Majesty, this is not possible! Qi Shuo practices martial arts, so it is better for me to stay with Your Majesty to protect your safety."
Before the emperor could speak, Qi Shuo said, "Your Majesty, I don't trust others, but I trust you. If you are afraid that I will do something bad to you, why not keep some guards and eunuchs you trust? Besides, I have been punished by Lord Qiu now, who can I hurt when I am limping?"
Qiu Changye didn't expect Qi Shuo to secretly accuse him. He was a little angry. This was all ordered by His Majesty. If he wanted to investigate, he could have gone to His Majesty? He even specifically complained to His Majesty. It was really abominable.
Qiu Changye immediately said, "Your Majesty, Qi Shuo is a cunning man. I have interrogated him for many days but he still refuses to confess. If I hadn't used some tricks, he would probably still be refusing to tell the truth today!"
Qi Shuo sneered and said, "Your Majesty, I only trust you. I don't want to trust anyone else. So, Your Majesty, can you please let these outsiders go?"
"You said I'm an outsider?" Qiu Changye looked at Qi Shuo in shock, wondering if this guy was mistaken?
He is a close minister to His Majesty, how did he become an outsider?
The emperor said impatiently: "Okay, get out! Don't waste time!"
"Your Majesty, I..." Qiu Changye raised his eyes and wanted to say something to defend himself, but when he saw the emperor's angry eyes, he immediately swallowed his words and said, "I'll take my leave!"
Qiu Changye glared at Qi Shuo angrily, then turned around and left the imperial study.
Only the emperor and his guards were left in the imperial study. The emperor looked at Qi Shuo and said, "There is no one else here now. Just say whatever you want to say!"
"Your Majesty, I would like to make a deal with you."
The emperor frowned and said, "You are already a criminal, and you still dare to negotiate a deal with me? Believe it or not, you will die here immediately!"
Qi Shuo raised the corner of his lips slightly and said, "I believe it, but I also believe that Your Majesty is eager to get rid of Duke Ying, so you will not easily kill me before I say something unfavorable to Duke Ying."
The emperor looked at Qi Shuo and frowned even more tightly. Looking at Qi Shuo's smiling eyes, the emperor seemed to see some familiarity.
These eyes seemed familiar, but I couldn't quite place where they were.
But looking at Qi Shuo's handsome appearance, it is just as the rumors say, he looks a bit like the Duke of England.
The emperor asked Qi Shuo in a deep voice: "What is your relationship with the Duke of Ying?"
Is Qi Shuo really the illegitimate son of Duke Yingguo as rumored? The emperor wants to hear an accurate answer.
