At dawn the next day, Xue Ning was woken up by the noisy noise in the courtyard, the maids deliberately lowered their voices, and the small sound fell on Xue Ning's ears, although it was not very real, but it was enough to cause earth-shattering waves.

The maid at the head glanced at them and scolded: "You all keep your mouths shut, don't forget what the prince told before leaving!"

"Sister Qing'er, we're just curious, before dawn, the emperor sent his father-in-law to call the prince into the palace, why are you so anxious? I'm afraid it's ......."

Before the words fell, the closed door was pushed open.

Xue Ning wrinkled his eyebrows and stared at everyone tightly, and asked, "What did you just say?"

Qing'er glared at the maid who had just spoken, and immediately stepped forward, and said with a smile: "The slaves and maids woke you up, and the slaves and maids are all blamed for the bad ones." ”

She raised her hand to stop Qing'er's words, looked at a maid in the crowd, and pointed her slender fingers at her, "You, come in and talk." ”

Recently, the court has been turbulent and turbulent, and the emperor is so anxious to announce that Li Yinhong has entered the palace, and there is more than one luck.

Xue Ning sat down, raised his eyes and glanced at the maid, and said, "Make your words clear." ”

"Someone came to the palace this morning to announce that the prince was involved in a case......" The maid said while secretly looking at Xue Ning's face, coldly met her gaze, hurriedly lowered her head, and her shoulders couldn't help but tremble, "The slave knows that she shouldn't talk much, so please don't blame the girl!"

"Let's get out. Xue Ning did not blame.

Thinking that this matter was not trivial, otherwise he would not have specifically instructed the maid who served her to look at him.

The originally clear sky suddenly pressed a layer of dark clouds, a cool breeze blew, Li Yinhong was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe, the corners of her clothes were flying, and she walked into the room with an oiled paper bag in her hand.

As soon as Xue Ning raised his eyes, he immediately pounced, looked him up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that he was unscathed, "Why did the emperor call you into the palace?"

"Just ask me a couple of words, it's okay. Li Yinhong deliberately concealed it from her and changed the subject, "When I came back, I saw a new pastry shop opened on the street, and I bought you some to try." ”

In Xue Ning's eyes, he was not worth mentioning, slapped his hand on the table, and had a cold face, "You lied to me?"

Li Yinhong froze for a moment, slowly exhaled a long breath, helplessly held the person in his arms, and said weakly: "I don't want to lie to you, but I'm also confused and can't figure out the situation, I'm afraid that what I say will worry you." This morning, my father announced that I had entered the palace, asked me if I had any dealings with court officials, and asked me if I had seen several ministers recently. ”

Xue Ning moved slightly, and Li Yinhong's hands were a little harder, holding her firmly and unable to move.

He spoke again, revealing a feeling of weakness, "I didn't receive any news before, presumably my father deliberately hid it from me and didn't let me know, I think he determined that I was involved in the corruption and bribery case." ”

After a moment of silence, Xue Ning raised his hand and gently landed on his back, and persuaded softly: "Fortunately, the emperor did not punish you immediately, which shows that everything still has a chance to turn around." ”

This time it was Li Yinhong's turn to be silent.

Sensing that something was wrong with him, Xue Ning suddenly pushed him away, his eyes glaring slightly, "Don't tell me that the emperor punished you?"

"My father forbade my feet, saying that he would wait for this matter to be found out before announcing my entry into the palace. Otherwise, how could he be so empty, and go buy snacks and come back.

"The emperor is really ...... Xue Ning gritted his teeth a little, secretly grinding the roots of his teeth, wondering what was wrong.

Bribery must be related to officials, the important thing is not to take bribes, but to collude with courtiers, to be in a high position, to be uneasy, all emperors will not allow anyone to make a means to threaten them behind their backs, even if it is their own son.

Compared with her sorrowful eyebrows, Li Yinhong calmly said something unspeakable, slowly lifted her back robe and sat on the round stool, pinched a piece of pastry and handed it over, and the angry Xue Ning almost couldn't get up in his chest.

She sat down with her eyebrows pressed into her eyebrows, "And what are you going to do now?"

And so on. ”

"Waiting for death?" Xue Ning said angrily: "There is obviously someone behind this, what are you waiting for, you really can't wait for death?" At this time, if there is another "evidence" in the hands of the emperor, it will really be over.

Seeing her fidgeting, Li Yinhong laughed suddenly, and couldn't help pinching her face gently, "It's okay, my father won't punish me too much, don't worry." ”

As soon as he heard what he said, Xue Ning calmed down, stared intently, and suddenly leaned in and lowered his voice, "Do you have a way to deal with it?" Why didn't you tell me earlier, it made me so anxious." ”

Li Yinhong told truthfully, "No." ”

"Not as calm as you!"

I don't know if he was overly angry, Xue Ning's head turned very fast, and he quickly sorted out the events of the past few days, "First the second prince went to the south to deal with the floods, and then you took bribes, as soon as he left on the front foot, the emperor announced that you had entered the ......palace on the back foot."

She originally suspected that the second prince was doing things behind her back, but this was too coincidental, and it made her wonder if the second prince would be so stupid and lead the fire to herself.

The eyebrows are twisted and flat, flat and twisted, and there are so many thoughts in my heart that I am about to drown myself.

At first, he thought the same as Xue Ning, but unfortunately it was too coincidental, and there was another point, the people he arranged didn't get any news, as if his father had already known about it, but he had been standing still.

At this time, the palace, the Qinzheng Hall was thrown to the ground, the eunuch knelt on the ground and trembled, the queen glanced at the situation in the palace, gently hooked the corners of her mouth, and walked forward quickly.

"The concubine asked the emperor for peace. ”

The emperor glanced at her and said, "Why is the queen here?" ”

"After the concubine heard that the eldest prince left, the emperor's mood has been unstable, thinking that maybe the eldest prince said the wrong thing and made the emperor unhappy, so she came over to persuade you, don't worry about the eldest prince, it's better to be a son, if you make a mistake, you can change it, don't let the father and son be separated because of some trivial things. She raised her hand and motioned for the palace maid to step forward and put the ginseng tea on the table.

Listening to her words, the emperor not only did not get better, but his face became more and more ugly.

He snorted coldly, "He is really my good son, he has made these tricks behind his back, how can he ever put his father-son relationship with me in his eyes!"

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, take care of your body. The queen worried: "What is it that makes the emperor so angry, I don't know if the concubine can know? As the queen, the concubine will definitely warn the eldest prince." ”

The harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and the queen only said it later, but she didn't expect the emperor to hand over a fold, which frightened the queen to kneel down in a hurry.
