The Protector knew what he wanted to say, and his smile faded a little, "You just have to check, and if you find something, you will reply to me truthfully." ”

"Yes, Father. ”

At this time, Xue Ning, who had just returned to the palace, shivered coldly, and didn't know that he was being targeted, so he hummed a little song and returned to the courtyard, walked to the courtyard gate and was stunned, Qing'er and his party knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to come out.

Li Yinhong glanced at her faintly, his eyes were cold and cold, and the foot that Xue Ning raised didn't know if it should fall.

"Hey, hey, hey. She laughed twice, leaned over very interestingly, and pushed Yang Yang in front of her as a shield, but unfortunately, Yang Yang didn't understand what she meant, and walked into the room with a sugar gourd.

"Where did you go? Li Yinhong's tone was terrifying, and Xue Ning couldn't help but shrink his head.

"I took Yangyang to the street and bought something. She quickly raised her eyes and glanced at Li Yinhong, lowered her head again, and her voice was slightly quieter, "You can't keep him stuffy in the palace." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Yinhong couldn't hold back her anger, "Go down!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Xue Ning turned her head and ran, Li Yinhong seemed to have already seen her thoughts, and easily detained the person with one hand and dragged her into the wing.

"Do you really think I don't know where you've been?" said in a low tone, his fingertips gently rubbing her chin, and his eyes were deep and inexplicably depressed.

When Xue Ning saw him like this for the first time, he couldn't help but step back, his slender back pressed against the door, and he laughed twice, "You, how do you know?"

After a pause, she suddenly smiled, "You sent someone to follow me?"

I don't know if it's because of a weak heart, Li Yinhong let go of her hand, looked away, and stubbornly and seriously corrected, "It's protection." ”

"What's the difference?" Xue Ning looked confused, and she didn't intend to tolerate it at all, she snorted angrily, opened the door and walked out, suddenly, she turned back again, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Can that person be driven by me?"

Li Yinhong was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Alright, I forgive you. Xue Ning pretended to raise his chin in disgust, "Since you know what I did, then cooperate with me, I don't believe that Li An can still stay out of the matter." ”

"It's a little too risky," the slender fingers wrapped around her long hair hanging down behind her, sniffing at the tip of her nose, "it might be a little difficult for me to fight them alone." ”

"People are terrible, as long as the emperor believes it, then you are not alone. ”

Xue Ning is right, as long as the emperor believes it, not to mention the current situation, his most optimistic son is involved in the bribery case with officials, and rumors are spreading among the people, and the other son seems to be involved with important ministers, how can he bear it?

Li An, who had just arrived in the south and was ready to show his strength, was called back by the emperor, and hurried back to the capital, Liao Qingyu couldn't bear the fatigue of the boat and car, and followed behind in a carriage slowly.

In the past two days, Xue Ning has been spreading rumors frantically, and Li Yinhong is also arranging for people to fabricate evidence, in fact, it seems that he doesn't need to fabricate it at all, Li An and the queen are not clean hands and feet, they have contacted officials in private, and they have not done less to accept bribes, and they were spread out under the sun all of a sudden.

In the palace, Li Yinhong stood in the outer hall of the Qinzheng Palace, her eyebrows and eyes lowered, and in the inner hall, the emperor's angry rebuke was endless, and he reprimanded the queen with all the harsh words.

The queen took off her head full of jade, knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, the concubine has been wronged, this must have been framed by someone! What's more, An'er has a pure mind, how could she do such a thing? I beg the emperor to believe in the concubine!"

"It turns out that you are all calculating behind your backs, okay!" A teacup smashed on the ground, forcing Li Yinhong to raise his eyes and look towards the inner hall.

Under the anger, the emperor subconsciously vented his anger on the people in sight, he threw a booklet to the outer hall, and said coldly: "You came just in time, you take a good look at what is recorded on it, do you dare not admit it?"

Li Yinhong picked up the booklet and flipped through a few pages, all of which were recorded in the officials involved in the bribery case with him, from the generals guarding the frontier to the Jiupin Sesame officials, none of whom escaped.

It's a pity that the people behind it are too anxious, and the preparations are full of mistakes and omissions.

"Did my father believe in this booklet? The two generals stationed in the frontier have not returned to the court for several years, how can the sons and daughters contact and collude with them? Could it be that they went to the frontier thousands of miles away just to be greedy for the tens of thousands of taels of silver? In this way, it is also incomprehensible, and all the money allocated to the frontier is through the hands of the household, and if the sons really collude with the two generals, it must have passed through the hands of the household department, so why is his name not on this booklet?"

Li Yinhong continued in an orderly manner: "The money allocated by the father and the emperor for disaster relief is also directly responsible for the household department, if the son is ignorant, he will definitely be involved with the people of the household department, and it is inseparable from the household book, but there is no mention of the book in this booklet, it can be seen that the person behind this is very familiar with the book, or this is the book that the book wants to wrong!"

"The eldest prince is not going to talk nonsense, Lord Shangshu is loyal and will never do such a thing!"

"The queen mother also said that the second brother is sincere to his father, hasn't he still done a lot of things that can't see the light?"

"An'er didn't do it, you framed it!"

Li Yinhong's expression froze, as if she didn't expect the queen to say such hurtful words, the corners of her mouth pulled out a wry smile, and she knelt straight down, "If the father doesn't believe in his son, please punish him." ”

The emperor's heart was very chaotic, and he became more and more irritable when he listened to the words of the two, he pressed his temples and said in a deep voice: "Come on, escort the prince to Dali Temple!"

"Erchen...... Compliance. ”

The queen secretly hooked her lips and smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were full of pride, and she watched Li Yinhong walk out of the Qinzheng Palace, slowly exhaled a long breath, and pretended to cry again, "Your Majesty, this must be because the eldest prince saw that he had lost your trust and wanted to pull the concubine and An'er back, he is really ruthless, the emperor is clear!"

"That's enough, you go back first, and we'll talk about this matter when An'er comes back. The emperor leaned back weakly, revealing a sense of tiredness and haggard all over his body.

"Yes, the concubine retired. ”

Outside the Qinzheng Palace, Xue Ning took the waist card that Li Yinhong had just stuffed to her, and waited for the queen.

At this time, the queen was still immersed in joy, and she didn't notice that Xue Ning was staring at her not far away.

"The queen mother is in good spirits, it seems that the matter of the second prince has not affected you. Xue Ning suddenly spoke up after approaching, and without waiting for the queen to pick a thorn, he immediately curtsied.

The queen, who was startled by her, covered her heart, looked at her impatiently, and her eyes were suddenly hooked by the waist card in her hand, "Miss Xue has seen the eldest prince? ”
