cpa300_4(); After the Yu Gonggong and the others served me and dressed me again, they took me out of Fangcaotang, and arranged a rattan sedan chair to pick me up along the way.

As a suspect who has been under house arrest for three days and is about to be tried, is this kind of treatment a bit too much?

The sedan chair swayed, and my heart was faintly uneasy, so I simply opened the curtain next to me with one hand, and saw that Father-in-law Yu was also walking outside, so he whispered: "Father-in-law Jade." ”

"What do you command?"

"These ...... , was it arranged by the emperor?"

"Yes. ”

“……”

My brow furrowed even tighter.

What kind of person is Pei Yuanhao, I probably understand, he never says superfluous things, let alone does superfluous things, if he just wants to feast hundreds of officials today, then there is no need for me;

I am used to the hardships he gave, but such a "gift" makes me a little uneasy.

Why did he do it?

Unless......

Something suddenly occurred in my heart, and my face suddenly froze, and when Father-in-law Yu saw that my face had changed, he immediately leaned down to look at me: "Lord Yue, Lord Yue, what's wrong with you? ”

"I ......"

As soon as I opened my mouth, my voice also changed tone a little, and at this time, a gust of wind swept with an icy chill, and my fingers lying on the window frame were immediately blown cold, and I couldn't help but shiver, and Yugong said: "Lord Yue, you have to be careful, this is going to change the sky." ”

Yes, it's changed......

I slowly raised my head and looked at the overcast sky, as if an invisible hand was pressing on the entire imperial city, giving people the feeling that it was going to crush everyone here.

My mood also sank, I didn't say anything, just nodded to Grandpa Yu, and lowered the curtain.

After a while, the sedan chair stopped outside the corridor on the side of the Baohe Palace, and when I got off the sedan chair, I immediately saw the scene over there, and there was a lot of people, and the courtiers above the fourth rank were waiting there.

Yugong said fairly: "Lord Yue, the emperor is almost here, you hurry over." ”

"Okay. ”

I nodded, and walked down the cloister to the Bohol Hall.

Before I got closer, I could already hear the noise inside, and the ministers were talking in twos and threes, and they were also full of people, but although there were so many people apart, I could see the familiar figure in the crowd at a glance.

Liu Qinghan.

Somewhat unexpectedly, he was wearing the court uniform of the lieutenant of the light car, this seemed to be the first time I had seen him wear such clothes, the broad-shouldered and waist-bound clothes set off his body more vigorously, but he had only seen him for a few days, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, from the clear forehead to the chin a smooth line, adding a bit of clarity to him; he helped Fu Badai, but he just stood silently with his head bowed, and his slightly frowning brows made his silence even more fraught with his silence, which seemed so abrupt in such a noisy hall.

When I saw him, although the zenith was cloudy, I had a sense of sunshine and high distance.

And he, as if he felt something, subconsciously looked at me, and immediately his eyes lit up, and his tangled eyebrows also stretched.

I smiled and bowed my head at him, and he nodded slightly.

The sky was clear and cloudy.

At this moment, the voice of the Jade Gonggong sounded outside-

"The emperor has arrived!

When everyone heard this, they all retreated to both sides, only to see the emperor and queen walking in slowly, and the hundred officials immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live long live, long live the queen's mother, long live thousands of years." ”

I also knelt on the ground, watching the pair of bright yellow boots stride past in front of me, and then the long skirt embroidered with the golden phoenix passed by one by one, I raised my head slightly, only to see Chang Qing also saw me sideways, as if to see that I was okay A little relieved, nodded, and I also nodded.

After the emperor and queen were all enthroned, the concubines above the fourth rank of the harem also walked in.

The most eye-catching is naturally Shen Rou, the most favored concubine of the Holy Family.

Her grade is no more than the queen, but she is dressed in brocade clothes, full of pearls, like a fairy concubine, although she also comes in at the same time and is known as the world's first beauty, but she is far from being as domineering and grand as her.

Pei Yuanhao sat down, and with a wave of his sleeves, the civil and military officials and all the concubines walked to their seats and sat down.

And I, Jixian Hall Zhengzi, naturally went to Fu Badai's side and stood behind him with Qing Han.

The two of them, but they were only a stone's throw away, but neither he nor I looked at each other, and I immediately felt that some eyes were looking at me and him.

I don't know if it's looking at me and him, or at me and the old man in front of him.

Fu Badai sat there, his thin figure was straight, as tough as a green bamboo, although he couldn't see it, but the clear gaze of those eyes reflected everyone in the hall, as if he had seen everyone once.

Those people looked at him in the same way.

At this time, I heard Pei Yuanhao say: "All the Qing family must also know that this one is Fu Badai, a scholar in Jixian Palace. ”

Fu Badai slowly stood up and shook around.

The ministers also stood up, but you look at me, I look at you, but none of them spoke first.

Fu Badai was originally blind, although the hundred officials in front of him had their hands together, but no one spoke, and the scene was very weird.

A discerning person can see at a glance that this is a deliberate embarrassment on the part of Mrs. Shen.

I frowned slightly, but before I could speak, I heard Fu Badai smiling, turned to Liu Qinghan and said, "The old man bows his head, but no one in the court answers." Light cold, here, there is no one (benevolence)?"

Liu Qinghan looked around and said calmly: "The kid is reckless, and there are letters from the rivers and lakes." Teacher, here, there is no one (benevolence). ”

When those people heard this, their faces immediately changed.

I listened from the back and couldn't help but laugh, but fortunately I kept my head down and no one saw it, only the person next to me hung out of the corner of my eye.

Unexpectedly, his mouth was so unforgiving.

At this time, Mrs. Shen smiled coldly and said, "It's our negligence that we forgot that Scholar Fu's eyes are inconvenient. Scholar Fu, it's rude. ”

"Don't dare. ”

"This one—"

Seeing his gaze on Liu Qinghan, my brows also furrowed, and Qinghan immediately stepped forward and said, "Xiaguan Liu Qinghan, please meet your lords." ”

Mrs. Shen smiled: "The old man also heard that you are a scholar of Fu University, and you live up to your reputation. ”

"Your Excellency. ”

"Hehe, the old man is not praising you, the practice of this dynasty, the captain of the light car is not the prince and noble, you can be the emperor's grace, take on this heavy responsibility, it can be seen that there must be something good, Fu University's eyes are like torches, even the students are so good, but the old man is envious. ”

He first suppressed and then raised, which made people feel a little strange.

I was still pondering in my heart, but I heard a soft voice, with a needle-like sharpness, and said: "Scholar Fu is like a torch, but with such a torch, why is there a murder suspect standing behind him?"

As soon as I looked up, I saw Shen Rou, who was sitting next to the emperor, looking at me coldly.

They, sure enough, are still coming for me!

Moreover, she said this very shrewdly, I am obviously the Jixian orthography appointed by Pei Yuanhao, but she said that I was the person behind the Fu scholar, and the emperor was completely wiped out, but it was the Jixian Palace, this trick is really amazing!

Thinking of this, I raised my head and smiled slightly, and said to Shen Rou: "Guifei Niangniang, the lower official is polite." I don't know who Niangniang said, who is the murder suspect?"

"It's you, Jixian Palace, Yue Qingying!"

As soon as these words came out, a large stone was thrown on the surface of a calm lake in the court, which immediately stirred up a thousand waves.

The people around were all talking, Pei Yuanhao and Chang Qing were sitting at the head, the two of them only glanced at each other, and then heard Pei Yuanhao say: "Guifei, it seems that I asked the Detailed Punishment Temple to thoroughly investigate the murder case more than ten years ago, and there is a result?"

Shen Rou immediately got up and said: "If you go back to the emperor, the emperor will order a thorough investigation, and the concubines should do their best to help the Detailed Punishment Temple find out the truth." Although more than ten years have passed since the case, only a bloody dress of the victim palace maid was left at the beginning, but nothing was left of the personal belongings, so what the detailed punishment temple decided to kill for money back then. The concubine thought, if this is the case, then after so many years, the finances that have been sought should also be exposed. ”

"What the concubine said is reasonable. ”

Therefore, the concubine specially investigated it thoroughly, and found that there was something wrong with this Yue Qingying. ”

"Oh?"

The concubine found that after she entered the palace, she gave the housekeeper thirty taels of silver for the first time, begging her to be transferred to the Inner Pavilion. ”

Hearing this, the people around them frowned.

Thirty taels of silver is indeed not a small amount for a palace maid, but what they don't understand is why they spent such money, but they entered the inner hidden pavilion.

"After the sinner Liu Ningyan was sent to the cold palace, she visited almost every month, and the money she gave to the housekeeper alone was five taels of silver every month, not to mention her allowance for the sinner. ”

My brow furrowed.

I only thought that ten years had passed since the case, even if I had to go to the original place to investigate, I couldn't find anything, but I didn't expect that she really started from the point of "murder for money".

No, Shen Rou couldn't think of this, I raised my eyes and looked at Mrs. Shen - this old and cunning old minister, he has such a ability, in fact, there are many ways for palace maids to make money, but even if they earn that money, they can't see the light, as long as I pinch this point correctly, my money comes from an unknown source, and it will really become a murder for money.

Thinking of this, I subconsciously looked at the emperor and queen in front of the main hall.

Chang Qing still sat on it lightly, she said believe me, she really believed me, there was no doubt at all, and Pei Yuanhao-

His gaze did not fluctuate in the slightest, as if he had been frozen by the icy weather outside.

Did he already know something, or did he ......

Thinking of this, my heart, which was not panicked, also skipped a beat.

After listening to Shen Rou's words, Pei Yuanhao smiled faintly and said, "The concubine has worked hard to collect so much evidence. ”

"The emperor's affairs, the concubines don't dare to complain. ”

"Counting up, in just two or three years, Yue Qingying has hundreds of taels of silver flowing in her hand, and a palace maid's salary is one penny of silver per month, which really shouldn't be her own money. I'm just curious, though. ”

Shen Rou immediately said, "What is the emperor curious about?"

The corners of Pei Yuanhao's eyes twitched slightly, and a fine light flashed: "That palace maid who was killed, really has so much money?"

Shen Rou had already said with a smile: "Emperor Qiqi, if it is an ordinary palace maid entering the palace, naturally there is not so much money."

“……”

"But the one who was killed was not an ordinary palace maid. ”

"Oh, then, who is that palace maid?"

Hearing this, my heart sank all at once.
