Emperor Qinglong slowly walked out of the southwest exit of the rockery, Liu Zhaoyuan followed behind him half a step behind, Wu Zhengxiang was at the end, and behind him were the palace maids and chamberlains who served the emperor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xinyue and Zimo had already heard the movements in the rockery clearly, and Shi Xinmei's wail made them tremble.

The two knelt at the exit, not daring to raise their heads, for fear of angering Emperor Qinglong.

Emperor Qinglong's eyes faintly swept over the two people who were lying on the ground, these two people were the personal palace maids of Liu Zhaoyuan and the former Shi Jieyu, although he couldn't name them, but he naturally recognized them, and asked, "Among you, who is serving Shi Xinmei?"

Xinyue knew that the master had committed something, and when she was questioned by the emperor at this moment, she was even more frightened and trembled, and replied reluctantly: "Back to the emperor, it's a servant." ”

"If the master does evil, there must be Diao Nu instigated!" Shi Xinmei is pregnant with Liujia, and his flesh and blood in her belly can't move her temporarily, but Emperor Qinglong's unhappy mood at the moment needs an outlet for catharsis, and the new moon has undoubtedly become the best choice.

"Come on, drag this slave down, and take thirty court rods seriously!"

Xinyue is a weak female stream, where is there still life when these thirty court canes go down? Kowtow again and again and begged: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor! It's not me, it's not me, I'm going to Jieyu, no, no! I was sent by Concubine Xian to serve Shi Xinmei after Biyun's death." ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly blessed her heart and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian! This is all the sins done by Biyun, and the servant doesn't know anything, Your Majesty!"

Hearing her cry and pleading, Emperor Qinglong couldn't help frowning. I see, in this way, it is not good to have a seizure. In front of everyone's eyes, if we persist any longer, won't we end up with the reputation of a faint monarch who does not distinguish between right and wrong? But the words have been spoken, but it is not easy to get down this step.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Liu Zhaoyuan observed his words and reprimanded Xinyue and said, "Do you want the emperor to be aware of the affairs between you slaves and maids?" Zi Mo, give me twenty slaps!"

Emperor Qinglong acquiesced, and it was inconvenient for Zi Mo to maintain a kneeling posture, so he just straightened up, rolled up his sleeves, and opened his bow left and right to the crescent moon and slapped his mouth.

With the sound of "popping", Liu Zhaoyuan persuaded softly: "The emperor is a good day today, don't worry about this slave and maid." According to the concubine, even if this new moon is ignorant of the past, she is serving Shi Xinmei, and she doesn't know what kind of evil things she has done, she is just as guilty! It is better to punish her to the palace of the concubine and be a vulgar night fragrance girl. Her personal palace maid is now pouring me night incense every day, it's extremely interesting to think about!" After speaking, she covered her nose and smiled.

This was said very horizontally, and in the middle of his words, he inadvertently revealed the previous order of Emperor Qinglong's "heavy responsibility for thirty court staffs", and then convicted him without asking, and then sent a good ladder to let Emperor Qinglong easily go down the steps.

"Night fragrance girl?" Emperor Qinglong laughed when he heard this.

Stretched out a finger, lightly tapped her Qiong's nose, and said with a smile: "You little pusher! I know that you are not so broad-minded!" Liu Zhaoyuan took the little thought of the new moon to make him quite happy.

Women, you can properly indulge her to make some petty temperament!

"Okay! You, haven't you ever thanked Zhaoyuan Niangniang?"

At this time, Zi Mo had finished his palm, and Xinyue's delicate face had already been deformed, blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth with blood foam, and his cheeks were high and swollen.

Hearing Emperor Qinglong's words, he knew that he had escaped his life, so he hurriedly kowtowed to the ground, and said vaguely: "Servant Emperor Xie for sparing his life! The emperor is wise! Xie Zhaoyuan Niangniang!"

Emperor Qinglong waved his hand and motioned for Wu Zhengxiang to follow. Liu Zhaoyuan curtsied and said, "The concubine respectfully sends the emperor." ”

Wu Zhengxiang was half a step behind, following behind Emperor Qinglong, with more than ten palace maids and chamberlains far behind, and the group walked towards the Jiuqu Bridge in the Imperial Garden.

After walking for about Mo Cha, Emperor Qinglong's faint questioning voice came from the front: "You arranged this matter?"

Wu Zhengxiang knew that he had this question, and without the slightest pause, he responded respectfully: "Ying doesn't dare to deceive the Lord, this matter is a subordinate arrangement." ”

Emperor Qinglong stopped, turned half of his body sideways, and the expression on his face couldn't distinguish between joy and anger: "Hmm, I don't know, when did you have something to do with the concubines in the palace?"

The meaning of this sentence is unclear, and the concubines in the palace referred to may be Liu Zhaoyuan or Shi Jieyu. If it refers to Liu Zhaoyuan, it is what just happened, Wu Zhengxiang single-handedly arranged to stand up for her, and if it refers to Shi Jieyu, it is a private revenge. But in any case, "fornication in the harem" is a capital offense!

This sentence is a trap on both sides and sides, and it is very difficult to answer.

Hearing this, Wu Zhengxiang knelt down on one knee without hesitation, and arched his hand: "Your Lord, when the subordinates were collecting the news, they accidentally discovered Biyun's death, and the little eunuch who collected the body said that she did not die from bleeding from the board, but looked more like she died of poison. Therefore, the subordinates paid attention and traced it all the way, and found that it was related to the case of the emperor's heir in the old year. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Qinglong was a little relieved, and collecting and analyzing the news was exactly what he did when he was a shadow wind before. Nodding his head, he motioned for him to get up and reply.

Wu Zhengxiang stood up and continued: "The case of the emperor's heir is very suspicious, and it is so coincidental, first there was a problem with the clothing, then Zhaoyuan Niangniang suffered from itching, and then the imperial doctor staggered the prescription and caused the tire to slip, and there was no human and material evidence. It seems to be seamless, but the subordinates privately think that being so flawless can only prove that someone is making trouble. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Qinglong bowed slightly. He was not unsuspicious of this case. But the private tricks in this palace have been seen too much since he was the prince, and after the accident, Liu Zhaoyuan was the ghost of debt collection, so he didn't want to investigate and investigate it strictly, and made the matter bigger, but he just ordered the shadow guard to pay attention to it secretly.

If you want to blame, blame her for her own incompetence and can't protect the child!

It's been more than half a year, but I didn't expect to know the truth today.

He glanced at Wu Zhengxiang, who was standing respectfully in front of him, this loyal family was really a loyal martyr, and his children were all capable. is just a concubine, when Wu Sheng led him to his eyes, he was still a young man with hatred in his eyes, and in the past few years, he has grown into a young talent who can lead the shadow guard and take on important responsibilities.

Wu Zhengxiang continued: "With this clue, as long as you pay attention, it is not difficult to find that Shi Xinmei is the mastermind behind the case of the emperor's heir. ”

At this, a hint of anger appeared on his calm face, and he said in a deep voice: "How noble is the blood of the Lord!

His sympathy resonated with Emperor Qinglong. Yes, even though he doesn't value this child very much, but he doesn't love it, it doesn't mean that others can reach out at will. He is the emperor, how can he tolerate being offended to his territory at will?

"But after a long time, Biyun is dead, and there is no physical evidence. The subordinates made their own opinions, and sent Yuliu to ask Zhaoyuan Niangniang to cooperate, induce Shi Xinmei to confess, and asked the emperor to come here to listen to the case. ”

Emperor Qinglong glanced at him.

Wu Zhengxiang finished speaking, lowered his head and arched his hand: "The subordinates deceived the lord, please send the lord!"
