Chapter 466: Three Sessions of Trial
Her rare and weak appearance makes people feel pity in their hearts, where is the mood in Dugucheng at this time to think about why the mastermind behind the scenes is the rhino concubine, only Song Xiaoxiao's pitiful and fragile appearance is left in her eyes, and it is too late to comfort her.
Dugucheng picked up Song Xiaoxiao, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said distressedly.
"Hurry up, concubine, the emperor is still sick in bed, I can't let anything happen to you again. As for your private investigation of the affairs of the palaces, I just don't pursue it, and now the top priority is to seek justice for our emperor, come on, Concubine Xuanxi is here, I want to see if the evidence is conclusive, what else does she have to say! ”
When the eunuch came to announce that Huo Lingxi was going to the queen's palace, Huo Lingxi was teaching the people in the palace.
It turned out that when it was close to evening today, Huo Lingxi felt that the palace was stuffy, so he took a few palace maids to the imperial garden for a walk, and met Concubine Yue who also came for a walk, and the two played a few games of chess in the imperial garden before separating.
As a result, as soon as Huo Lingxi returned to the palace, he found that his bedroom had traces of being rummaged through, and what was even more shocking was that the remaining people in the palace did not hear the movement when they were rummaging, even if it had been nearly an hour, they had not found it, which made people puzzled.
It can be imagined how angry Huo Lingxi was when she found out, she didn't even have time to eat dinner, so she hurriedly gathered the people in the palace for interrogation.
The first to be interrogated was, of course, the palace maid on duty outside Huo Lingxi's dormitory, but everyone said that they didn't hear any sound from the dormitory, and then interrogated the guards patrolling around, and they also said that they didn't see any suspicious characters entering or leaving.
The only clue is the palace maid who cleaned the dormitory, according to them, after Huo Lingxi left, they originally wanted to go into the dormitory to tidy up, but they were told by a second-class palace maid that Huo Lingxi asked them not to tidy up today.
Huo Lingxi carefully recalled the scene when she left the dormitory, and suddenly remembered that the last person to go out at that time was the second-class palace maid Guanlan who had never had a sense of existence here, and she still felt that Guanlan was a little strange at that time, so she took a few more looks.
Coupled with what the palace maid said just now, Huo Lingxi had to suspect Guanlan, but when Huo Lingxi looked down the hall and looked around, he found that Guanlan was not in it at all.
"Why isn't Guanlan here, let her come over." After Huo Lingxi finished speaking, he found that no one had acted after a while, which made Huo Lingxi's already not very good mood burn in an instant.
The delicate tea cup in Huo Lingxi's hand was thrown to the ground by her hand, and the boiling hot tea soaked through the soft carpet in an instant, "What's the matter, isn't this palace moving you now, but no one has carried it out?" ”
Seeing that Huo Lingxi's anger was getting bigger and bigger, Forsythia hurried to Huo Lingxi's ear and said that Guanlan was seriously ill and bedridden a few days ago, and he is still in a coma.
"What, seriously ill? Why didn't you tell me? As soon as he heard Forsythia say this, Huo Lingxi knew that most of the crux of the problem was in this Guanlan, and his questioning tone became serious.
As soon as Forsythia heard Huo Lingxi say this, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly knelt down and admitted his mistake: "It's the slave's fault, the slave thought that her illness was inexplicable and aggressive, so she still didn't tell you so as not to get bad luck, so she hid it on her own initiative, and asked the mother to punish her." ”
Forsythia is Huo Lingxi's most important confidant, since she has admitted her mistake like this, Huo Lingxi can't say anything, just let her have a longer memory next time, about Guanlan's matter, Huo Lingxi also decided to hand it over to Forsythia to investigate, since Guanlan was seriously ill in bed a few days ago, then who is the "Guanlan" who appeared next to her today?
Just when Huo Lingxi interrogated for more than an hour and still did not make any substantive progress, the eunuch sent by Dugucheng to pass the word arrived.
As soon as he heard that Dugucheng summoned him to the queen's palace, Huo Lingxi's heart jumped, and he knew that it was not good, I am afraid that this matter is inseparable from the things that were turned over in his palace today, it seems that this time it is the queen Song Xiaoxiao who wants to deal with her, but I don't know what kind of tricks Song Xiaoxiao will use this time.
"Niangniang, I'm afraid the queen is not good this time, what should we do?" Forsythia also reacted at this time, and hated the queen thoroughly in his heart again.
"What else, now that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, it is natural that the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth. Hurry up and freshen up for me, let's go see what medicine Song Xiaoxiao sells in this gourd. ”
Huo Lingxi stood up from the main seat and waved the people away, leaving Forsythia to wait by his side.
Although she said it hardly, Huo Lingxi didn't have any confidence in her heart, she always felt that this time it might not be so simple, since Song Xiaoxiao was able to pull Dugucheng as a backing, how could it be possible to say that she didn't have any hole cards, and now Huo Lingxi could only pray that Song Xiaoxiao would not have any major handles in her hands.
Soon Huo Lingxi took care of herself, after all, she was summoned by the emperor, she couldn't put up a shelf to drag time, right?
Before leaving, Huo Lingxi was still not at ease, so he called his other henchman, Poria, to give careful instructions.
"Poria cocos, I'm afraid I'm going to be lucky this time, I took the forsythia away, and you are the only one left in this palace who can be relied on, you have to guard it well. The queen can't let me go so easily, after I leave, you must take someone to check the whole palace, don't let those 'dirty' things get in, if someone comes to search at that time, you all show me calm, don't do bad things and don't worry about ghosts knocking on the door." Let them search if they want to, and they won't find anything useful anyway. ”
"! Don't say some frustrating words, the slave believes that the mother will return safely, and the slave will definitely guard this palace well, so that no one can take advantage of it. Mother, the slave will always be waiting for you and Sister Forsythia. ”
Poria's eyes were filled with tears, and the crystal tears seemed to slide down her delicate face in the next second. For the first time, Poria grabbed Huo Lingxi's sleeve in an offensive manner, and her reluctance filled her whole heart, obviously this was just an ordinary separation, but it made her feel deeply uneasy.
"Okay, it's too big, don't cry, those little girls you brought are going to laugh at you. I'm not gone again, do you need that? Okay, I've given you all the orders that should be given, and the hour is not too early, so Forsythia and I will set off. ”
