Chapter 115 The Dark Emperor's Seduction of the Oiran (44)
Seeing that the man was staring at him, Quan Si couldn't help but frown slightly.
Zhao Pingqi smiled apologetically, "Your Excellency has the appearance of a banished immortal. I am sorry for offending you."
He glanced again.
Very similar.
Such similarity is definitely not a coincidence.
As the saying goes, sons usually look like their mothers.
After Concubine Qing died, her only child disappeared.
There are different rumors, and most people think that his son has died long ago.
After all, he was still an infant at the time, so young in those turbulent times.
The late emperor also ordered a thorough investigation, but unfortunately to no avail.
Later, he passed away, and the matter came to an end.
As time passed, this matter was gradually forgotten by the world.
But after all, he has royal blood in his body, and he is a threat just by being alive.
The new emperor has only been on the throne for a short time and his foundation is unstable, so there should be no mistakes.
It seems...
This time when I return, I must report to His Majesty.
It would be best to completely eradicate this person and eliminate future troubles forever, so that you won't have to worry.
"It's okay." Quan Si said in a light tone.
The emperor on the throne was obviously quite dissatisfied with the man's boldness in peeping at Quan Si's appearance.
He frowned slightly, wondering whether he should not let Quan Si appear in public.
His heart was consumed by intense desire, and his amber eyes were filled with possessiveness.
He desperately wanted the power to belong to him alone.
Confined within visible range, visible only to him.
But this crazy idea just flashed through my mind like a flash of lightning, and disappeared in a flash.
His expression remained normal, and he still looked like the noble monarch who was high above everyone else.
"The Imperial Master was personally selected by me. He is naturally extremely intelligent and has an unrivaled appearance."
He raised his eyelids lazily and glanced at the envoy from Dongao Kingdom.
"Your Majesty is indeed very far-sighted and good at recruiting talented people. You are truly admirable."
Zhao Pingqi smiled like a fox, but he was shocked in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the other party was actually the imperial teacher of Beixiao State, a person of noble status.
It seems that this matter still needs long-term consideration, and the most important thing is to go back and report to His Majesty.
There is still a long time, and there will always be a time when there is no one around the national teacher. That will be a good opportunity to take his life.
Quan Si didn't say anything else. His intuition told him that the messenger was looking at him with ill intentions.
The two clearly did not know each other, so where did this malice come from?
He doesn't know.
The envoy Zhao Pingqi successively presented as tribute some fine gold and silver treasures, all of which were unique to the Dong'ao Kingdom.
The morning court session ended quickly and smoothly.
But Zhao Pingqi was not in a hurry to leave, but walked towards Quan Si who was about to leave.
"Master Imperial Master, please stay."
The latter paused, turned around calmly, and asked, "What is the matter with the messenger?"
Zhao Pingqi's eyes fell directly on the jade pendant around his waist.
It wasn't very clear just now because I was far away, but now that I'm closer, it's very clear.
The shape of this jade pendant has a koi fish pattern running across the middle.
Isn't it the one that the late emperor gave to Concubine Qing? !
Back then, Concubine Qing was extremely favored and received all the love and favors from the emperor.
The treasures received were naturally countless.
This seemed to confirm his doubts.
The silver-haired man in front of me must be Concubine Qing’s surviving child!
"This jade pendant, sir, is quite unusual."
Quan Si didn't know his own life experience at this time, and just said calmly: "It's just a mediocre thing."
He would never have imagined that the jade pendant he had accidentally found on the black market actually belonged to him.
It is a symbol of his identity.
"Mediocre?" Zhao Pingqi rubbed his chin with his fingertips and smiled meaningfully, "Maybe it's just that the time has not come yet."
"I have something important to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." After saying this, the man made a move to leave.
When the two of them passed by each other, he curled his lips slightly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Just today."
We will meet again in the future.
However, the other party will not be so lucky by then.
After everyone left, Quan Si stood there, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Somehow, a strong sense of uneasiness rose in my heart.
For no reason, it was running rampant in his heart, making him uneasy.
His intuition told him that the envoy from Dongao Country was not simple and seemed to be hiding something.

In the Dongao Kingdom Palace——
The young emperor on the throne was wearing a dragon robe, and was surrounded by various beauties on his left and right, some of whom had a voluptuous figure and some had beautiful eyes and eyebrows.
While enjoying the grapes fed to him by the beauty in his arms, Quan Chuao stretched out his hand and pinched her waist with a wicked smile.
"Your Majesty, that's so annoying~" the woman giggled.
Inside the hall, a group of graceful dancers were dancing to the music, their graceful movements were captivating.
Quan Chu'ao admired the scene before him and was immersed in the beauty.
The prime minister who was waiting on the side looked embarrassed, "Your Majesty..."
"What's the important matter, Prime Minister? Just tell me." Quan Chu'ao glanced at him sideways.
Seeing the emperor like this, the prime minister couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
How can someone who is so cynical and not steady at all shoulder the responsibility of the country?
If this continues, the future of their Dongao country is unimaginable...
"Your Majesty, there has been no morning court session for a month, and the officials below are quite dissatisfied."
"They are just a group of officials. What qualifications do they have to be dissatisfied?" Quan Chu'ao sneered.
"I think there is no need to hold the morning court. What's the point of a group of people getting together and talking nonsense to each other?"
He looked at the beauty on his left, "Don't you think so, Xiang'er?"
"Your Majesty, everything you said is of course correct." The woman took the initiative to kiss him on the face.
The court was an important place, but the people in front of him were so unrestrained. They really had no knowledge of etiquette, which made the prime minister feel dizzy.
He wanted to say something more to persuade them, but he saw a man jogging in from outside the hall.
This person is Zhao Pingqi, the envoy who is going to the Northern Xiao Kingdom to pay tribute today.
Knowing that this matter cannot be delayed, I just want to bring the news back as soon as possible.
After the morning court ended, he hurried back on horseback at full speed.
"Sir Zhao, why are you in such a hurry? It's so disrespectful." Quan Chu'ao glared at him.
"Your Majesty, I have an important matter to report. It concerns the future fate of the country and is very important."
After hearing his words, Quan Chuao didn't take it seriously and instead sneered.
"The world is peaceful now, and the people are doing well. How can it be as serious as you say? Don't make a fuss."
As soon as he finished speaking, the women around him began to giggle.
The prime minister at the side was a little nervous, "Lord Zhao, what is going on? Please tell me in detail."
Seeing that Quan Chu'ao still looked as if he didn't care, Zhao Pingqi felt a little disappointed.
The kingdom that the previous emperor had fought so hard to build and the great achievements he had made have now been abandoned by him.
"Mr. Prime Minister, do you still remember the Concubine Qing who was so favored by the emperor?"
These words caused everyone present to fall silent.
Speaking of Concubine Qing, Quan Chuao's face changed. He raised his chin and said, "Everyone, go down."
All the dancers had to retreat.
