The carriage drove slowly out of the alley, and apart from the rolling of the carriage and the rattling of horses' hooves, not even the slightest movement of pedestrians could be heard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ji Yao gently lifted the corner of the curtain, and his eyes were firmly locked on Zhou Zilai, who was riding a horse in front of him, and Zhou Zilai seemed to be aware of the gaze behind him, so he turned his head at this moment and made contact with Ji Yao's gaze.

Seeing the obvious contempt and disgust on his face, Ji Yao raised his eyebrows, lowered the curtain, and was incredulous in his heart, he didn't seem to have any holiday with this Zhou Duwei, why did he always look like that to himself?

There was a sudden sound of whipping outside, and the carriage that Ji Yao was sitting in was followed by a violent shock, and she was defenseless and almost planted out of the carriage, and after sitting down, the carriage did not slow down, and still rushed forward quickly.

It can be seen how urgent the affairs in the palace are, although he didn't say much when he came this week, only said that the emperor summoned him to enter the palace immediately, but Ji Yao was already prepared.

Just because a quarter of an hour ago, Zhu Shang personally visited her and told her the news that happened in the palace, Ji Yao thought of this, and couldn't help sighing, first, he was amazed that Zhu Shang was so proficient in news, and second, he felt that Zhu Shang's strategy was really ruthless and wonderful.

She even suspected that the phoenix hairpin jade pendant was given to the crown princess because Zhu Shang had poured ecstasy soup, otherwise why could everything go according to Zhu Shang's plan?

"Miss Chang, please get out of the car."

At the same time as the carriage stopped, an unkind cold voice followed, Ji Yao calmly got out of the carriage, and looked at the word Duanmen above the high doorway and couldn't help but breathe rapidly.

"Only the emperor and the minister of Yipin can go here, please Miss Chang go to the wrong door." Zhou Zilai's eyes fell on her face every time it didn't take more than the time to turn the page, and the disgusted look was only afraid that the blind man would soon see it.

Ji Yao only pretended not to see, and followed behind him unhurriedly, walking through the long end gate, and then walking through the stone steps paved with white marble, and the continuous corridor of the Zhu Gate, and his silent sight was stunned.

Not far away, a large area of red folded from east to west, almost completely enveloping the place, and the dancing girls standing quietly on the water corridor were more like flowers about to wither, such a scene was really wonderful!

Ji Yao couldn't help but look stupid, Zhou Zilai, who was walking in front, saw how she paused, and couldn't help reminding: "Hurry up, do you want the emperor and the queen to wait all the time?" ”

"Yes."

Ji Yao didn't dare to make any extraneous branches at this time, so she hurriedly followed, and followed him straight into the place where the banquet was, the atmosphere of the banquet, which was already very quiet, was even more strange at this time, and everyone's eyes were firmly rooted in Ji Yao like a needle, and they didn't want to leave for a while.

"The people's daughter Chang Jiyao visits the emperor." Ji Yao knelt down unhurriedly and saluted, and there was no loss of propriety between her voices.

The emperor bowed slightly, his eyes swept over the golden hairpin, and his father-in-law hurriedly held it and handed it to Ji Yao, who glanced at it curiously, and then showed a puzzled look.

"Chang Jiyao, do you know what these two things are?" The emperor's question was simple, but his eyes were sharp and straight to Ji Yao's heart.

Ji Yao nodded, Liu Xun and Chang Ji Yangden at the other end of the banquet showed anxious expressions, only to hear Ji Yao speak: "This is the earrings and the phoenix hairpin, the earrings are made of jade and gold, which are very exquisite and rare, and this phoenix hairpin ...... There are so many artificial scratches on it, and the folk girl feels a little inferior. ”

"Who asked you this, my father asked you about the origin of these two things!" The crown princess was anxious, so she hurriedly interrupted Ji Yao, and lowered her head silently when she glanced at the emperor, and the emperor frowned and continued to ask, "Do you know the origin of this jade pendant and phoenix hairpin?" ”

"The folk girl doesn't know."

"Okay, then I ask you, where did you get these two things?" The emperor asked like this, and no one present felt strange, but the person who was asked was surprised, and said in shock, "Back to the emperor, this is the first time that the people have seen these two things, as for where the jade pendant and the phoenix hairpin came from, the people really don't know." ”

As soon as Ji Yao's words came out, the audience was shocked, and the sound of small and fragmented discussions was endless, Rong Guifei's face changed greatly, if the origin of this thing was not clear, then she would not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

The crown princess almost jumped up with excitement, and angrily pointed at the tip of her nose and scolded: "Chang Jiyao! This is obviously something you gave me, but now I dare to quibble and pretend not to know, where do you think this is? This is the Imperial Palace, and you can't be presumptuous! ”

"Presumptuous!"

The sharp voice suddenly smashed down from the stage, drowning out the words behind the crown princess, only to see the queen glaring at the crown princess with an angry face, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is here, you will be judged, how can you be presumptuous?" ”

Ji Yao saw that the princess immediately closed her voice, and immediately said: "This thing has really never been seen by the people's daughter, I don't know if the princess is mistaken, the people's daughter has indeed sent a lot of things to the East Palace on weekdays, but every time the maid personally sent them to the East Palace, and the piles and piles are all registered in the East Palace treasury." Why don't you go back and check the booklet to see if you are mistaken? ”

"Qi'er, can Chang Jiyao wronged you?" When the queen heard this, she immediately looked at the crown princess and asked quickly.

The crown princess almost gritted her teeth angrily, and said with a white face: "In the past, someone gave a gift to the East Palace, and it is true that there was a special person who ascended the throne and entered the register, but this phoenix hairpin was given by you when I went to Changfu a few days ago, so it was not registered, which is not a strange thing." ”

"Then this is strange, the folk girl has not given gifts to the East Palace for many months, how can she privately send Fengchai to the mother? Besides, that day was the eldest brother's reception banquet, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even gave a generous gift, so what reason did the folk girl have to send the phoenix hairpin to the mother at that time? ”

Ji Yao responded quickly, the crown princess was stumped by her and was speechless, the queen glanced at the emperor's not very good-looking face, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the concubine feels that the most important thing at the moment is to quickly find out where this jade pendant and phoenix hairpin came from." ”

The emperor leaned sideways, his cloudy but powerful old eyes wandered around the faces of the frightened crown princess and the calm Ji Yao, and he paused for a long time before asking, "Then the queen thinks that this matter is ...... How to check? ”

"Let's start with the crown princess, Rong Guifei and Chang Jiyao." The queen's tone was as plain as water, and her fair attitude made the emperor unable to find a reason to refute half a sentence, and the dragon pattern walnut in her hand spun quickly, and with a "snap", I saw the emperor press the walnut on the dragon case, and spit out a sentence steadily, "Okay, the queen will thoroughly investigate this matter." ”

This kind of thing should not have been mobilized in the first place, if nothing was found, then it would be fine, but if something was really found, it would be the royal face, and the emperor knew this well, so he handed this matter over to the queen.

But Concubine Rong, who heard this, was not calm, and suddenly got up and said in a panic: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty can't leave this matter to the queen alone, it should be handed over to the Criminal Department for thorough investigation! ”

"Okay, no need to say more, this matter is here, I am tired, everyone Aiqing is free." The emperor couldn't help but get up, avoiding the hand that Rong Guifei came up with, and walked outside the banquet with the help of his father-in-law beside him.

"Your Majesty! Concubine ......"

"Ministers send your majesty !!"

Concubine Rong wanted to say something more, but her pale voice was drowned in the loud voices of everyone, she looked sideways at the smiling queen, and her heart couldn't help but be shocked!
