Chapter 44: Contrast
After all, Liu's identity is there, and Meng Xia is fine now, and nothing really happened to him!
Emperor Meng Zhao didn't want to make such a family ugly uproar, not to mention that the Liu family's power was now in full swing, and in many ways he still needed the Liu family to do their best. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, when he saw the unwavering trust in him in Meng Xia's eyes, he inexplicably changed his mind.
This kid suffered so much grievance, but he didn't want to take the initiative to cause trouble for him from beginning to end, until the last moment, he was obviously calculated in public, but he still chose to endure it and let him call the shots.
If he is really so vague, I don't know how disappointed this child must be in his father?
Thinking of this, Emperor Meng Zhao was no longer silent, and waved his hand to the chief eunuch on the side and said, "You go and see if you can find out something." ”
"Slaves obey!"
Liu Lida, the chief eunuch, immediately received the order, and picked up a broken pot bottom with different expressions, where there was still some tea left.
"Your Majesty, what is Gonggong Liu going to do?"
Seeing this, Liu Guifei's originally fallen heart couldn't help but hang again.
"Sister Liu, don't worry, the emperor has his own reason for arranging it like this, let's watch from the sidelines."
Ning, who had not made much noise, smiled and persuaded him, signaling that Liu Guifei had better not disturb at will at this moment.
Liu's face was a little bad, but he didn't refute it, and after secretly glancing at Emperor Meng Zhao, he first focused on Gonggong Liu.
This father-in-law Liu has won the trust of the emperor in recent years, and I heard that he has a lot of skills. But what was the purpose of the emperor ordering him to inspect the broken teapot?
But no matter what, Concubine Liu Guifei is more and more aware that the influence of Meng Xia, a little slut, in the emperor's heart is getting bigger and bigger, otherwise, why would things come to this point, and the emperor would still come out to help?
This is not a good thing, she secretly gritted her teeth, and subconsciously glanced at Meng Xia again, it seems that she really can't stay for a long time!
And at this moment, Meng Xia was also a little puzzled, could Liu Lida, the chief eunuch, see something from this broken residue? Or does the emperor want to use this person's hand to make another end to today's affairs that he thinks is better?
However, just when everyone was puzzled, Gonggong Liu had already finished the inspection quickly, just looked at it briefly, sniffed, and after a while, there was no other behavior, and it seemed that there was already a result.
"Lida, have you found anything?"
Seeing this, Emperor Meng Zhao took the initiative to ask.
He habitually called Gonggong Liu by his nickname, which was naturally a great favor for a minion.
And everyone in the palace knows that Liu Lida has the most sacred heart, and even the palace concubine and heir have to be polite to him.
"Back to the emperor, there is indeed something wrong with this tea."
Soon, Liu Lida's affirmative voice sounded, except for the screeching, there was no scruple or hesitation.
As far as he is concerned, he only needs to act truthfully for the emperor and do everything according to the emperor's wishes, and as for other people and things, there is no so-called inappropriateness.
Meng Xia couldn't help but take a closer look at Liu Lida, his appearance was mediocre, he was of medium age, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of a slave in his demeanor, if it weren't for the eunuch's voice characteristics that were different from ordinary people, he really didn't look like a eunuch at all.
At this time, Liu Lida noticed Meng Xia's gaze at him, but he only glanced back at him very normally, and then moved away, without a half-squinting pause.
"Okay, if you tell me specifically, I'm getting more and more curious!"
Emperor Meng Zhao's expression turned cold, but he was not directed at Liu Lida.
He knew that Liu Lida's ability in drug testing was not comparable to those imperial doctors, so he really had to pay attention to this matter today.
"Back to the emperor, a scarce medicine was added to the tea, this medicine was produced in foreign lands, mixed with tea, enough for the drinker to become dumb after twelve hours, and it can never recover!"
The real answer made Liu Lida look quite dignified, after all, such a thing is indeed not a good thing, and the consequences are embarrassing enough.
Hearing this, Emperor Meng Zhao immediately looked at the fifth princess Meng Jin, and his face was even darker.
It seems that Meng Xia was almost forcibly drunk this vicious thing before, and he almost became dumb!
Emperor Meng Zhao was really angry at this moment, he knew that Meng Jin had always been arrogant and willful, but he never thought that he would be so vicious.
Although it is not a mother's sibling, it is also a blood brother, how can a girl be so young that she can be so ruthless to poison her sister?
How much hatred and resentment is this? is a good Meng Jin, when did it become so terrifying?
"Jin'er, what the hell is going on?"
Although he knew in his heart that Meng Jin would definitely not admit anything, Emperor Meng Zhao couldn't help but ask out loud.
Regardless of the status of the emperor, as a father, when he knows that his daughter is so temperamental, how can he be calm and indifferent?
In fact, this is no longer just a daughter's personal move against another daughter, for Emperor Meng Zhao, the mutual killing of children is always the most unwilling pain in his heart.
"Father Emperor Mingjian, Jin'er doesn't know what's going on at all, Jin'er doesn't know what's in the tea at all, and it has nothing to do with Jin'er!"
Meng Jin had already made up his mind, and when Liu Lida was checking, he figured out what to say and what not to say.
If you want her to admit that she took the drug, it is absolutely impossible! Anyway, this kind of thing is not caught on the spot, it has been so long, and no one has proved that the tea in this pot is what she put in the first place.
Faced with Meng Jin's unhesitating denial, Emperor Meng Zhao sank his face even more.
He is not a fool, how can he not understand whether this tea has anything to do with Meng Jin? To put it bluntly, Meng Jin is nothing more than rushing at Meng Xia, who will never be able to confirm that the tea at this moment is the pot that has not changed!
At this moment, Meng Xia opened his mouth with a little doubt.
"Father, could you be mistaken? Although, there are some minor conflicts between me and the Fifth Emperor Sister, and the Fifth Emperor Sister has indeed done some excessive things to me before, but I think no matter what, the Fifth Emperor Sister should not be so cruel to me, after all, we are sisters by blood......"
Her attitude was diametrically opposed to Meng Jin's, and her expression was obviously a little reluctant to believe it.
Of course, it is not so much to question Liu Lida's test results, but rather to be unable to accept such a fact, and it is impossible to imagine that Meng Jin would give her such a medicine.
Seeing this, Emperor Meng Zhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, she was also his daughter, but how could this character be so far behind!
