22. Stone Lion (15)
Yu Xiaoyu pulled Xiao Ke with great interest, quietly entered Kaifeng Mansion through the side door, and went straight to Wang Erya's room.
However, after hearing Yu Xiaoyu's request, Wang Erya hurriedly waved her hand: "Sister Yu, no, no, how can this work?" If my brother found out, he would scold me. β
"It's okay." Yu Xiaoyu said with a smile: "You just put your heart in your stomach - the sky is falling, and I am holding ......"
Xiao Ke patted his chest, looking arrogant: "Mrs. Zhan, I'll accompany you!" β
"You?" Yu Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, leaned close to Xiao Ke's ear, and said jokingly and softly: "Do you want to accompany me?" Or do you want to take a sneak peek at Master Ma? β
Xiao Ke's face turned red, he glanced at Yu Xiaoyu, and slammed his fist lightly on Yu Xiaoyu's shoulder: "If you talk nonsense, believe it or not, I beat you?" β
"I should have shown him how shrewd you look!" Yu Xiaoyu grabbed Xiao Ke's wrist: "You are careful to scare people away!" β
"Hey, you're ......"
"Sister Yu," Wang Erya looked at Yu Xiaoyu and Xiao Ke in surprise: "What are you and Miss Xiao Ke talking about?" Why is her face so red? β
Yu Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows: "Talk about adults." β
Wang Erya blinked, and suddenly remembered the rumor that had been widely circulated in Kaifeng Mansion recently, and looked at Xiao Ke clearly: "I understand." β
Hearing Wang Erya's words as an adult, Yu Xiaoyu couldn't suppress his laughter; And Xiao Ke's face turned even redder......
After a while, I heard the voice that Yu Xiaoyu had been looking forward to coming from outside the door.
Yu Xiaoyu hurriedly stood up: "Master Bao has been promoted, let's go quickly." β
Looking at the backs of Yu Xiaoyu and Xiao Ke leaving in a hurry, Wang Erya pursed the corners of her mouth, thought about it and followed.
Yu Xiaoyu pulled Xiao Ke and hurriedly came to the side door of the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, intending to secretly watch how Lord Bao tried the case of Liu Ying's deception, the murder of Yahuan Xiaocui, the imprisonment of Miss Cui for no reason, and the intention to kill his father-in-law......
However, when he saw the figure who had already occupied the position by the side door, Yu Xiaoyu was completely stunned; Mrs. Bao looked at Yu Xiaoyu in surprise, and then smiled awkwardly.
"Shh Yu Xiaoyu put his finger to his lips to stop Mrs. Bao who wanted to speak, and took Wang Erya, who could catch up with him later, and walked lightly to Mrs. Bao, listening to the movement in the lobby with his ears pricked up.
Gongsun Ce, who was sitting on the side of Mr. Bao's desk and near the side door of the lobby, heard the sound of the door, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the side door in surprise.
Seeing the four heads by the side door, Gongsun Ce was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but have a headache - the people who listened to (eavesdropped) the trial of Kaifeng Mansion "finally" changed from one to four......
The four of them made a silent gesture at Gongsun Ce at the same time, and at the same time pointed to the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, signaling Gongsun Ce not to make a noise and concentrate on recording......
Gongsun Ce turned his head with a headache and began to do his part dutifully, recording the trial of Lord Bao and Liu Ying's confession.
Zhan Zhao, who was standing under Mr. Bao's desk, turned his head to look in the direction of the side door as if he noticed something, but he didn't see anything.
Vaguely seeing the red figure suddenly turned around, Yu Xiaoyu quickly shrunk his neck and pouted secretly: "This Zhan Zhao is a dog's nose, what kind of head is it......"
Zhan Zhao smiled helplessly, and secretly said that his dignified Nanxia was tossed into a suspicious look by a little woman - no matter what he did, he had to worry all the time, worried about whether Yu Xiaoyu would cause any trouble......
Hearing that Liu Ying finally couldn't avoid Lord Bao's interrogation and confessed all the crimes, Mrs. Bao's face, which had always been a little worried, also showed a reassuring expression.
After Liu Ying confessed everything and drew the detention in court, Master Bao sentenced Liu Ying to death in accordance with the law, and shouted: "Please punish him." β
Just when Yu Xiaoyu was wondering about the so-called "imperial punishment", he saw Wang Ma, Zhang Zhao and the four of them carrying something covered with yellow silk cloth and striding up......
At this time, I heard the eunuch's unique sharp and high-pitched voice outside: "The queen mother has arrived, and the princess has arrived." β
Lord Bao hurriedly walked to the table, and Gongsun Ce also walked to Lord Bao's side, and knelt down with Zhanzhao, Wang Ma Zhang Zhao, and other errand officers in the hall to greet the Queen Mother and the princess.
Yu Xiaoyu grabbed Mrs. Bao, who was about to kneel, and shook her head gently; Looking at Mrs. Bao's disapproving eyes, Yu Xiaoyu pointed to the people in the lobby and did not speak.
"The minister Bao Zheng welcomes the Queen Mother, and welcomes Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Gongsun Ce greets the Queen Mother, welcomes Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Zhan Zhao welcomes the Queen Mother, welcomes Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
β¦β¦
A woman dressed in a scarlet gold five-phoenix suit walked in amid the sound of kneeling, a gold-studded phoenix hairpin in her hair, and a detached smile on her well-maintained face.
"All the ministers are flat!" As if he didn't see the people kneeling on the ground, the person who came walked through the crowd without squinting, walked directly to the desk, turned around, and said a word.
Yu Xiaoyu had never seen the Queen Mother's face, so he couldn't help but widen his eyes at this time and looked at the person who came. However, before Xiaoyu could see the Queen Mother's face clearly, she turned around directly, leaving only Yu Xiaoyu with a straight back.
When Zhan Zhao and the others heard the Queen Mother's words, they got up and stood aside. The messenger also hurriedly brought a large chair and invited the Queen Mother to sit on the chair.
Seeing Liu Ying, who had been stripped of her brocade crown and gorgeous clothes and kneeling on the ground with only her underwear, the young woman who came in with the Queen Mother hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Don Ma, how are you?" Did they beat you? β
"Princess!" Liu Ying's voice was choked: "You save the minion, the minion doesn't want to die!" β
Yu Xiaoyu hooked the corners of his mouth disdainfully, and secretly sighed that Liu Ying really didn't look like a man, he dared to do it but didn't dare to be a ......
"Don't worry, don't worry," the princess held Liu Ying with one hand and said arrogantly: "There is this palace, see who dares to touch a single hair of yours." β
"Lord Bao," the Queen Mother glanced at the princess and turned her head to look at Lord Bao: "You came to sue the mourning family, what is going on?" And the princess said, thou hast invited the steed to the feast; Now how did you hear that you were going to kill a colt? β
"Empress Dowager Qiyu, princess," Master Bao arched his hand: "Liu Ying deceived the monarch, and his crime is also one; The main envoy killed Cui Jiayahuan Xiaocui, and his second crime was also; abandoned his fiancΓ©e and imprisoned Miss Cui for no reason, and his three crimes were three; ungrateful, secretly sent the Ouchi guards, intending to kill his own life-saving benefactor in Dengzhou City, that is, his father-in-law Cui Yi, and his four crimes. Four cardinal sins, sins are unforgivable. The government has already sentenced Liu Yingquan in accordance with the law......"
"Bao Zheng!" The princess pointed at Master Bao angrily: "You dare! β
"Returning to the princess," Master Bao said unhurriedly: "Liu Ying's crime is unforgivable, and this mansion will also handle it according to the law......"
"Murder?" The princess looked at Master Bao with disdain: "The person was not killed by the horse himself, why should he rely on the horse?" β
"Lord Bao," the Queen Mother glared at the princess: "Can you look at the thin face of the mourning family and let the concubine go this time?" β
"Queen Mother, this ......" Lord Bao looked at the Queen Mother in embarrassment, with a hesitant face.
"Bao Zheng," Lord Bao's hesitation made the princess even more angry: "You dare not even obey the words of the queen mother?" Don't you want to live anymore? β
"Princess," Zhan Zhao took a step forward: "Liu Ying's crime is extremely evil, please don't embarrass Lord Bao anymore......"
"Zhanzhao!" The princess turned her anger to Zhan Zhao: "What kind of thing are you, you dare to talk so much in front of this palace?" β
Hearing the princess's words, Yu Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, pulled Mrs. Bao and ran out a few steps, and then made a fainting expression to Mrs. Bao.
Mrs. Bao nodded knowingly, looked at her directly, and fainted.
"Mrs. Bao!" Yu Xiaoyu let out a high-pitched exclamation, breaking the tense and stiff atmosphere in the hall: "What's wrong with you?" β
Gongsun Ce asked the Queen Mother for instructions, and walked out of the hall after getting permission from the Queen Mother.
As soon as Gongsun Ce came out of the hall, he saw Yu Xiaoyu, Xiao Ke, and Wang Erya making a bunch of them, and the middle one was Mrs. Bao who was half-lying on the ground and leaning on Xiaoyu's legs.
"Mr. Gongsun," Yu Xiaoyu wiped his eyes vigorously, and pretended to be choked up, "Look at Mrs. Bao." Originally, I was walking and chatting with her, but she suddenly fainted; By the way, she was still nauseous just now, saying that she wanted to vomit......"
Gongsun Ce glanced at Mrs. Bao, who had a ruddy face and slightly rolled eyelids, gritted his teeth, and simply followed Yu Xiaoyu's words and went straight down.
Pretending to take the pulse for Mrs. Bao, Gongsun Ce said with a profound face: "Little girl, you hurry up and find someone to inform Master Bao, just say that Mrs. Bao is pregnant." But now the situation is very bad, so ......"
Xiao Ke nodded, pinched his thigh, and rushed directly into the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion.
Hearing Xiao Ke's crying words, the Queen Mother hurriedly said: "In this case, Master Bao should go and see Mrs. Bao first-this woman has a child is a big deal and needs to be taken care of." As for ......"
Master Bao bowed his waist: "Weichen obeys the order, and Weichen retires." Zhan Guard," Master Bao straightened up, turned to Zhan Zhao and ordered, "Take Liu Ying down first!" β
"Bao Zheng!" The princess's angry shouts did not interrupt the hurried departure of Lord Bao; By the time the princess turned around, Zhan Zhao had already taken Liu Ying down with someone.
The Queen Mother sighed silently, and turned her head to look at the Cui father and daughter who had been kneeling on the ground: "You are the Cui family?" β
"Yes!"
The Queen Mother, who had already learned everything from the princess's mouth, looked at the Cui family: "The matter between you and the concubine, the palace already knows; In this case, this palace will give you five hundred taels of gold, and you can go back! β
"Queen Mother," Cui Yimei raised her head: "Can five hundred taels of gold buy Xiaocui's life?" β
"A life?" The princess looked at Cui Yimei with disdain: "It's just a minion." β
"Forget it," the Queen Mother turned her head to look at the princess: "My son will go back with the palace first." β
"The queen mother," the princess stampeded, "but the colt ......"
"What's the matter, let's talk about it when we go back!"
On the other hand, Lord Bao looked at Mrs. Bao, who had been helped into the flower hall by Yu Xiaoyu and Wang Erya, and had woken up, and asked Gongsun Ce next to him with a happy face: "Mr. Gongsun, Madam, she really ...... it."
Gongsun Ce glanced at Yu Xiaoyu: "This ......"
"Misdiagnosed." Yu Xiaoyu reluctantly compromised with Gongsun Ce, who threatened him with his eyes: "I'm sorry, Lord Bao, I'm worried about you; It's also a resentment of me, I'm too nervous......"
Master Bao understood everything as soon as he thought about it, and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter." As long as Madame's body is fine, the house will be relieved. β
At this time, Zhanzhao and the others, who escorted Liu Ying back to the cell, also came to the flower hall, and they all looked at Master Bao with a smile on their faces, and kept saying congratulations......
Master Bao explained to everyone with a smile that "Mrs. Bao is not pregnant", and secretly praised Gongsun Ce and Yu Xiaoyu's quick reactions.
Zhan Zhao looked at Yu Xiaoyu who suddenly appeared in Kaifeng Mansion in surprise; Yu Xiaoyu raised his head, looked at Zhanzhao and smiled innocently......
"Lord Zhan," Wang Erya hurriedly said, "Sister Yu came to see you on purpose......
Yu Xiaoyu, who knew that Wang Erya was to ease the relationship between himself and Zhanzhao, reluctantly kicked Wang Erya in secret, and then raised his face full of smiles: "Lord Bao, Mr. Gongsun, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first." β
"Mrs. Zhan," Gongsun Ce said suddenly, "what do you think we should do in the current situation?" β
