Zhou Ying's smile faded, and she only said, "Let the sixth sister smile." ”

Zhou Huan said: "According to me, if there are no rules like this, you should be kicked out early, you don't have to be wronged, isn't it the princess of the heavenly family?" However, before Zhou Ying could refute, Zhou Huan smiled again, "But the seventh sister has always been kind-hearted, and she can't bear to be like this." ”

Zhou Huan said both the right and the back, Zhou Ying couldn't help but be suspicious and refused to speak, for fear of falling into Zhou Huan's trap.

Zhou Huan was not surprised when he saw that Zhou Ying was not on the road, so he smiled to himself: "However, in this case, I am a little curious, the master is sick, and the two palace maids are injured, who should take care of whom?" ”

Strange Dao Zhou Huan stopped it, it turned out to be waiting here.

Obviously, Zhou Huan also had doubts about Zhou Ying's illness and not showing up these days, but obviously she was not as kind as Zhou Yao and pretended not to see it.

Zhou Ying had already prepared for this, and said with a flawless smile: "The sixth sister has thought of being with the mother, and the mother is also worried that the fight will be too heavy, and there is no one available to me here." So the two of them were not seriously injured, and it was okay to serve me, but I didn't feel inconvenienced after all. ”

This is, of course, a lie.

After Zhou Jue lost it, Xu Guifei was so angry that she even dragged out the most powerful lychee around her and beat it all the way, how could she show mercy to Su Zhi and Bai Liu. But these words are here, and it is impossible for Zhou Huan to confront Xu Guifei.

Of course, even if she confronts her, Zhou Ying is not afraid.

Zhou Ying had already put on the top hat for Xu Guifei, Xu Guifei couldn't take it off by herself and say, she was not kind and compassionate at all, nor was she considerate and thoughtful, those palace maids deserved to be seriously injured and bedridden.

Taking a step back, even if Xu Guifei wanted to cause trouble for Zhou Ying and expose the matter, she should always remember that she had memorized the book in front of the emperor, and once the news leaked, it would be a personal burial of the emperor's trust.

Of course, Zhou Huan didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "Serving with injuries is so effective, the seventh sister is really good at regulating people." ”

Zhou Ying didn't know what Zhou Huan said, she patted her head lightly, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the sixth sister's reminder, otherwise I forgot, Su Zhi and the two are serving with injuries, and it would be good to go back and reward one more month of monthly money." ”

Zhou Huan choked suddenly, after all, she was just guessing, Zhou Ying pretended to be stupid, and she couldn't force Zhou Ying's neck to admit it. I haven't seen her for a few days, Zhou Ying is good at working hard for thousands of pounds, since she can't speak, Zhou Huan is too lazy to waste time with Zhou Ying, so it is better to go to Xu Guifei to offer courtesy. Zhou Huan smirked: "Since the seventh sister is busy, then I won't bother." ”

Zhou Ying couldn't wait for this, and said with a smile: "Sixth sister, go slowly." ”

Zhou Huan nodded to Zhou Yao again, and both sides said goodbye and left.

The following days have been calm, Zhou Yingzheng felt strange, and suddenly got summoned by the emperor and came to a hidden flower hall. Only the emperor and Xu Guifei sat in the flower hall, and only Qiao Rong stood at the door. When Xu Guifei saw that it was Zhou Ying, her eyebrows suddenly drooped.

The emperor didn't pay attention, and said gently: "This case is already a bit eyebrow-raising, since you have suffered, you should let you know the truth." ”

Zhou Ying was slightly surprised, she didn't expect the emperor to be so compassionate. Although she didn't want to get involved in the battle for the heir, this time after all, she had suffered so much in a daze, and it was naturally best to figure it out. She said gratefully, "Thank you, father." ”

Then Zhou Ying sat down behind the screen, and before he could wait, Qiao Rong came to report, "Your Majesty, Commander Ding has arrived." ”

The emperor raised his hand and said, "Xuan." ”

Ding Tang entered the flower hall after hearing the announcement, and after bowing, he handed the file to Qiao Rong, and reported directly: "Your Majesty, Cai Sanying, who was captured this time, is the leader of this gang of traffickers, he is a local person, who has been engaged in human trafficking for 16 years. ”

The emperor looked through the dossier on one wall, listened to it on the other, frowned and asked, "What about this time?" ”

Ding Tang said: "According to Cai Sanying, the kidnapping of the two highnesses this time is that he received a man's deposit early and a portrait of the six princes. However, the specific time and place were not notified until three days later. ”

The emperor couldn't help but put down the file, leaned forward, and asked, "Have you found out who this person is?" ”

Ding Tang took out a small portrait from his arms, handed it to Qiao Rong again, and replied: "According to the portrait described by Cai Sanying, we found this person, he is a eunuch in the Southern Patrol team, named Huang Bao. ”

The emperor unfolded the portrait and saw that his face was white and beardless, with small eyes and a round face, and he did not look very strange, and he did not look familiar. Xu Guifei leaned over and looked at it for a long time, but she didn't recognize who it was. The emperor asked suspiciously, "Where is this person on duty?" ”

Ding Tang lowered his head, "This Huang Bao is on duty in front of the eldest prince." ”

There was a sudden silence in the room, Xu Guifei was angry at first, and her heart was really the eldest prince Zhou Lian couldn't hold it back, and wanted to harm her emperor, and then there was a burst of ecstasy, although she has the emperor's preference, but Zhou Jue is still young after all, and when Zhou Jue grows up, Zhou Lian must have his own power, and the emperor is old at that time, who knows what the situation is. Now that Zhou Lian is digging her own grave, don't blame her for cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.

The emperor was silent for a moment, avoided the scorching gaze of Concubine Xu on the side, looked at Ding Tang, and said with a reluctant smile: "The emperor is often in front of me these days, and his personal eunuch I also know a few, but this Huang Bao, I have never seen it once." ”

Ding Tang replied: "Huang Bao is at the eldest prince's place, and he is a second-class eunuch guarding the inner treasury, and he does not travel with the eldest prince. ”

The emperor said with difficulty after a while: "Where is this person, bring him up for interrogation." ”

Ding Tang didn't move, and pleaded: "Back to Your Majesty, when the minister followed the clues and found Huang Bao, Huang Bao had already committed suicide by hanging himself. ”

The emperor couldn't say whether he was disappointed, or sighed happily, "Could it be that the clue is broken?" ”

Xu Guifei on the side held the handrail tightly and looked at Ding Tang.

Ding Tang did live up to Xu Guifei's expectations, took out another letter and handed it to Qiao Rong to present, "Huang Bao left a suicide note before he died, the letter was very brief, and he only said that he was bullied, so he committed suicide. As for the kidnapping case, the letter said nothing about it. ”

Xu Guifei sneered, "What a loyal servant, you can pick up the eldest prince." ”

The emperor frowned, but in the end, he didn't answer Xu Guifei's words, and asked, "According to Aiqing, is Huang Bao really related to this case?" ”

Ding Tang nodded, "Previously, when Cai Sanying saw that the two highnesses were very wealthy, and when they extorted from His Majesty, they also extorted money from the person behind the scenes, and asked for money twice, the first time five hundred taels, and the second two thousand taels. However, before Cai Sanying could get the money for the second time, he was caught by his ministers. The minister searched Huang Bao's residence and indeed found two thousand taels of silver. ”

Xu Guifei saw the plan of the emperor and the mud, how could she be willing to give up, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Two thousand five taels of silver, a second-class eunuch can't save so much if he doesn't eat or drink for two hundred years." By the way, and that's not even counting the initial deposit and remuneration. Your Majesty, I'm strange, how did he, a second-class eunuch who couldn't even get a chance to go out with his master, get so much money? ”

The emperor thought for a long time, and finally replied, "Didn't he look at Neku?" Did Xu sell it privately? ”

Xu Guifei raised her eyebrows and asked, "Your Majesty thinks that this Huang Bao has done this?" ”

The emperor quietly exhaled, "Judging from the report of Commander Ding, there are all human and material evidence, and the evidence is conclusive. ”

Xu Guifei glanced at Ding Tang below, turned her head again, and said to the emperor: "But Your Majesty has forgotten a little, what about the motive?" ”

Hearing this, the emperor was stunned for a moment, and Xu Guifei took the lead in opening her mouth to block the emperor's mouth, "Your Majesty, don't say that Xiao Jue did something bad, and offended this killer." Xiao Jue, this kid is kind-hearted, and he can't even step on an ant, even if he is anxious to find a reason, don't buckle the black pot on Xiao Jue's head. ”

The emperor touched his nose with a weak heart, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Look at what you said, how could I detain my son." ”

Seeing that Concubine Xu's anger calmed down a little, the emperor thought about it, and when he was about to speak, Concubine Xu stopped again: "By the way, don't lie on my head Your Majesty, I have always wanted to avoid suspicion, I have never set foot in the palace of the emperor, and I have never seen this eunuch." ”

The emperor was choked again, racked his brains and thought for a long time, and simply got straight to the point: "As the older emperors open their mansions, the shape of the head of the palace is becoming more and more nervous. ”

Xu Guifei didn't expect to really force the emperor's words out, but she was stunned for a moment, and said for a while: "Why don't you want to think about it, since this is a good slave who is dedicated to the Lord, how can he carry the master behind his back and steal the things in the warehouse?" Is this something that only a faithful slave can do? ”

The emperor couldn't help but glance at Xu Guifei, no wonder Xu Guifei asked in front of him, so he changed the topic, it turned out that he was waiting for him here. He confronted Xu Guifei for half a day, and he was also in a dilemma, neither wanting to wronged Zhou Jue, nor wanting to trap Zhou Lian. As a result, Xu Guifei pressed forward step by step, and his sharpness was exposed, and he was indeed indefensible, and he was a little tired for a while......

I didn't want Xu Guifei to take a step back, and said slowly: "Even if this slave steals the master's things, the eldest prince is the master, and the subordinates make such a big mistake, they always have the right to know." ”

The emperor's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xu Guifei suspiciously, "Okay, it has something to do with him after all, just announce his audience." ”

Qiao Rong took the order and left.

Xu Guifei took a lot of time to pick up the teacup, and she was not good with the emperor, but the eldest prince Zhou Lian ...... What is so difficult to make him confess his sins?
