Chapter 170 Who is the Escaped Slave?

                                    

                                          
The old prince An rolled his eyes and smiled tentatively: "I heard that the palace servants around the emperor saved Concubine Yue a while ago. It is rare to see such a loyal servant. Where is she? I want to see her."
Qi Yan's face suddenly became alert.
Seeing him like this, the old prince An immediately felt relieved. It seems that he guessed right. The current chaos is because of Xie Yun.
But this Lord Qi is so nervous. Is he loyal to his master or is he guilty?
He guessed with interest in his heart, but his attitude became more and more aggressive: "Why does Lord Qi look like this? Is she not here? Where did she go? Could it be that the escape from the palace you just mentioned refers to her?"
"Old prince, be careful with your words. Don't talk nonsense and slander others' innocence."
Qi Yan said, sounding very calm, but the old prince An still saw the tension that he tried hard to cover up.
He became more and more determined: "Then let the person come out to see me. This king admires loyal people the most. If I like her, I will reward her greatly."
"She is injured and it is inconvenient for her to see people."
"Is it inconvenient for her to see people, or is she not here to see people?"
Qi Yan clenched his fists suddenly, and his mind was churning for a while. He wanted to find a reason to send the person away immediately, but the more anxious he was, the more confused his thoughts became, and he couldn't think of a suitable excuse.
"Of course she is not here."
Yin Ji suddenly told the truth, which startled Qi Yan and almost changed his face on the spot, but he controlled himself at the last moment.
But the old King An's eyes lit up uncontrollably. Did Yin Ji find that he couldn't keep her, so he simply sold the woman?
Although it seems that the other party is not very important in Yin Ji's heart, she is after all someone around the emperor. If he gets rid of one of them, he can slap the emperor in the face.
His eyes became eager: "So, she really escaped from the palace? Then such a big commotion is..."
"What do you mean by escaped from the palace?"
Yin Ji looked at him coldly: "She just stayed in the tent for too long. I asked her to go out and relax, but she was careless and forgot to take the token. The reason why I went to so much trouble to have her brought back was because I was afraid that someone would maliciously slander her and say that she escaped from the palace."
He narrowed his eyes, and his sharp and cold eyes pierced the old Prince An like a sword: "Uncle Prince An, there are always many people who gossip, don't you think?"
The old Prince An had lived to such an old age, but this was the first time that someone scolded him for "gossip". He was so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn't refute it. He could only grit his teeth and sneer: "Your Majesty is right. In this case, I think she will be back soon. I'll wait here. After all, I'm really curious about such a good servant."
Qi Yan was a little anxious. If Xie Yun wanted to escape from the palace, she would not be found so easily. If they could not find her in front of the old Prince An, no matter how much they defended themselves, Xie Yun would not be able to get rid of the crime.
He lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, let the old Prince An..."
Yin Ji shook his head slightly and interrupted Qi Yan's unfinished words. He knew what the other party wanted to say, but too much is as bad as too little. The old Prince An obviously noticed something and came to find trouble. At this time, the more he was asked to leave, the less likely he would leave.
