23. Stone Lion (16)

Yu Xiaoyu pursed his lips and secretly scolded Gongsun Ce for being an old fox, and he wanted to dig a pit to make himself jump in; However, his face was full of smiles: "Mr. Gongsun, aren't you scolding me?" This kind of thing, Lord Bao and all of you must have already made a plan in their hearts and had a good plan in their hearts; Where can I be used to dictate? Besides, the important thing is that I'm just a little woman, so how can I have a way? ”

"So," Master Bao asked with a smile, "what does Mrs. Zhan think will happen next?" ”

"Xianggong," Mrs. Bao looked at Yu Xiaoyu with an embarrassed look, and smiled and pulled Guo Xiaoyu's hand: "It's already this time, presumably everyone is already hungry; Let's talk about it first! ”

Master Bao looked at the already dark sky outside and nodded: "It's getting late, let's start eating first." ”

Yu Xiaoyu blinked his eyes and nodded again, which was regarded as agreeing to Mrs. Bao and Master Bao's proposal.

Yu Xiaoyu sat at the same table with Mrs. Bao, Wang Erya, and Xiao Ke; On the other side of the screen, Bao Daren, Gongsun Ce, Zhan Zhao and Wang Ma Zhang Zhao ate at the same table.

Hearing Zhang Long's special order to Kaifeng Mansion's maid ring to send some tonic soup to Miss Cui's family, Yu Xiaoyu gently hooked the corners of his mouth, and an ambiguous smile appeared on his face.

"Sister Yu," Wang Erya looked at the heart-wrenching smile on the corner of Yu Xiaoyu's mouth, with a puzzled expression on her face: "What are you laughing at?" Strange oozing! ”

"Didn't laugh at anything." Yu Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows, approached Mrs. Bao, and lowered her voice: "Mrs. Bao, listen to me, if the Queen Mother or others ask about your pregnancy in the future, you will say that you fainted and don't know anything......"

Mrs. Bao smiled and nodded: "Mrs. Zhan, don't worry, I originally fainted and didn't know anything." ”

Mrs. Bao's "upper way" made Yu Xiaoyu nod with satisfaction, and then looked at Xiao Ke: "Xiao Ke, you have to remember: Mr. Gongsun is checking the pulse of Mrs. Bao, and you heard me say that Mrs. Bao is pregnant, so you ran to the lobby in a panic to ......."

"yes, I see." Xiao Ke nodded, and then thought of something: "But, Mrs. Zhan, if you say so, will you be implicated?" ”

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Yu Xiaoyu looked indifferent: "I'm just a little ordinary person, what can I do?" When the time comes, then Liu Ying ......"

Speaking of Liu Ying, Yu Xiaoyu's voice was lowered: "When the time comes, Liu Ying's head will be cut off, who will be in the mood to care about these things?" ”

"Then you still deliberately said this," Xiao Ke's expression was much more relaxed: "It's weird and scary; I thought ......"

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what if!" Yu Xiaoyu smiled: "You think, Mrs. Bao's pregnancy is a big oolong in itself; But if it is said from the mouths of Mrs. Bao, Lord Bao or Mr. Gongsun, it is deliberately against the Queen Mother and the Princess, delaying time, trying every means to detain Liu Ying, and not letting the Queen Mother and the Princess take him away, just to give him ......"

Yu Xiaoyu made a head-killing gesture before he continued, "As for us, it's just that we are a little panicked and nervous when we encounter things, so that we make a big oolong......

Hearing Yu Xiaoyu's words, Mrs. Bao couldn't help but nodded, and she also understood what Yu Xiaoyu said: No matter who was in Kaifeng Mansion, including herself, under that circumstance at that time, she couldn't stop the Queen Mother and the princess from taking Liu Ying away, otherwise the Queen Mother or the princess would be charged with a big disrespect.

And although Yu Xiaoyu let himself pretend to be a little dizzy; But under the circumstances at that time, there was no choice, so he could only follow Yu Xiaoyu's script.

It's just that what Mrs. Bao didn't expect was that Yu Xiaoyu casually pulled out the lie of "pregnancy", which couldn't be rounded at all; Now, Yu Xiaoyu took the initiative to take on this matter, and Mrs. Bao is undoubtedly satisfied......

Here, the four people at Yu Xiaoyu's table were talking in a low voice; On the other side, Zhanzhao's table fell silent, and everyone's hearts were worried that Liu Ying's affairs would change because of the intervention of the princess and the queen mother......

After the meal, Mrs. Bao took Yu Xiaoyu's hand, chatted with Yu Xiaoyu with a smile, and kept asking about Yu Xiaoyu's restaurant; Until Master Bao and Zhan Zhao and others discussed countermeasures......

"Since that's the case," Master Bao nodded: "We will try Liu Ying again overnight and solve the matter directly; In this way, the queen mother and the princess will no longer have a choice. ”

At this time, Chen Lin, the great eunuch beside the emperor, walked in quickly, and brought the emperor's message, and Lord Xuanbao immediately entered the palace......

Seeing Master Bao leave with Chen Lin, Yu Xiaoyu sighed: "It seems that things are really going to change a lot!" ”

The others also frowned, unable to think of any way at all.

Gongsun Ce thought about it for a long time, but he was still at a loss; Looking at Zhan Zhao and the others beside him, they all looked helpless, and couldn't help but turn their heads to Yu Xiaoyu: "Mrs. Zhan, what kind of changes do you think things will happen?" ”

"Mr. Gongsun is testing me again," Yu Xiaoyu's face showed a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Then Liu Ying will definitely not be able to kill him!" ”

"So," Hearing Yu Xiaoyu say the answer as he thought, Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao all nodded. Gongsun Ce continued: "Mrs. Zhan, can you think of a way to solve this matter?" ”

"No," Yu Xiaoyu shook his head, "What can I do." In short, let's respond to all changes with the same! ”

Gongsun Ce nodded: "Yes, for today's plan, I can only wait until the adults come back, and then find a way." ”

Lord Bao stayed in the palace until late and did not return; And Yu Xiaoyu has been pulled by Mrs. Bao, enduring sleepiness and waiting in the flower hall of Kaifeng Mansion.

"My lord," Zhanzhao found that Master Bao finally came back with a depressed face, and hurriedly greeted him: "How is it?" What did the emperor say? ”

"Zhan Guard?" Seeing Zhanzhao, Lord Bao was stunned for a moment, and then saw Yu Xiaoyu, Xiao Ke, Mrs. Bao, Gongsun Ce, and Wang Ma Zhang Zhao waiting in the flower hall: "Are you all here?" ”

"My lord," Gongsun Ce also stepped forward and said, "Is it for Liu Ying's business that the emperor brought you over so late at night?" ”

Master Bao sighed: "It's late now, let's all go back and rest; If there is anything, we will talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Mrs. Zhan," Mrs. Bao stopped Yu Xiaoyu, who was about to leave: "It's already time, why don't you stay in the room before Escort Zhan tonight, don't go back; As for the little girl, the guest room she used to live in is still there, and she can live there......"

On the surface, Xiao Ke, who had been accompanying Yu Xiaoyu, but in fact, Xiao Ke, who was waiting for Master Bao to come back with Ma Han, yawned, nodded, and walked out directly with his tired body; And Yu Xiaoyu nodded at Mrs. Bao, said "um", and walked out with Mrs. Bao's maid ring.

It wasn't until Mrs. Bao also left the flower hall that Master Bao sighed, looked at Zhanzhao, Gongsun Ce and others who had been waiting for him, and slowly told a few people about today's events.

It turned out that the Queen Mother took the princess back to the palace; The princess rushed directly into the emperor's study, cried to the emperor about what happened to Liu Ying in Kaifeng Mansion, and asked the emperor to pardon Liu Ying's innocence, and severely punish the people in Kaifeng Mansion for openly insulting the emperor's relatives......

Although the emperor was surprised by the princess's words; However, in the face of his younger sister, who has been loved since childhood and the only biological daughter of the current Queen Mother, the emperor still decided to recruit Bao Zheng into the palace overnight to explain the misunderstanding.

When Master Bao arrived, he had already guessed what was happening; Therefore, in the face of the emperor's questioning and the princess's accusations, Lord Bao recounted everything in a hurry......

After listening to Lord Bao's words, the emperor understood that Liu Ying was already unforgivable for just the "crime of bullying the king", not to mention that human life was involved in the middle.

However, seeing his tearful sister on the side, the emperor pursed his lips and thought for a while before saying in a deep voice: "Bao Qing, if I no longer pursue Liu Ying's crime of bullying the king, do you think there is room for mitigation in this matter?" ”

"The Emperor's ......"

The emperor raised his hand and interrupted Bao Zheng's words: "Listen to me finish speaking." I know that the Cui family Yahuan murder case is hard to blame......"

"Brother Emperor," the princess stomped her foot and said hatefully, "and the man was not killed by the horse himself, what is the responsibility of the horse?" ”

"Bao Qing," the emperor ignored the princess, but looked at Lord Bao and said kindly: "It's better to do this, I will pay for it, and bury that girl ring properly - after all, people can't be resurrected after death; And Liu Ying is the princess's concubine after all, the royal lady, if he really dies, wouldn't the princess ......"

Lord Bao looked at the emperor and thought for a while: "The emperor allows Weichen to think about it......"

"Bao Zheng!" Hearing Lord Bao's words, the princess pointed at Lord Bao with an angry look......

"I also know that this matter made Bao Qing" The emperor nodded: "Since this is the case, Bao Qing should think about it......"

After Master Bao knelt down, he left the study under the escort of Chen Lin.

Master Bao looked at the chief eunuch in front of him, who had been by the emperor's side for more than 20 years, and looked like he wanted to say something, and a smile appeared on his face: "Chief Manager Chen, please say it directly!" ”

"Master Bao," Chen Lin looked at Master Bao in embarrassment, and then said in a low voice: "Since this is the case, the old slave has something to say." You can help the emperor......"

"Bao Zheng doesn't understand what Mr. Chen said?"

"Alas," Chen Lin sighed, approached Master Bao, and lowered his voice: "You also know that the emperor was carried to the palace by the first emperor at the age of eight, although over the years, he has been as close to the queen mother as mother and son; However, there is no blood relationship after all, and the relationship between the two is already a little awkward. If the colt really ...... this time Isn't this a dilemma for the emperor? ”

Hearing Chen Lin's words, Master Bao was silent for a long time, and finally when he walked to the gate of the palace, he whispered to Chen Lin: "This mansion understands." ”

"My lord," after listening to Lord Bao's narration, Gongsun Ce thought for a while and asked, "Presumably your lord has already made a decision?" ”

Master Bao sighed helplessly: "What does Mr. Gongsun think this mansion should be?" ”

"This ......" Gongsun Ce thought for a while: "From a legal point of view, Liu Ying should be beheaded; However, after all, the emperor has his difficulties......"

"Yes," Master Bao sighed, "This government also thought about it for a long time before making such a decision......

On the other hand, Yu Xiaoyu followed Yahuan and returned to Zhanzhao's room in Kaifeng Mansion.

After Yahuan left, Yu Xiaoyu endured the sleepiness, washed his face, and rushed directly to the bed and lay down.

"It's still Mrs. Bao who is good to me!" Yu Xiaoyu muttered in a low voice: "That surname Zhan is too much of a thing-it's so late, he actually wants me to go back alone." If something happens, whose fault is it? ”

However, what Yu Xiaoyu, who soon fell asleep to, didn't know was that there was almost a bloody case in Kaifeng Mansion that night......
