Eighty-seventh

Bai Dalang thought about it, and he brought His Royal Highness the Prince's attendant over to be prepared, so he agreed to Qin Ying's request.

Qin Ying nodded in his heart and staggered out of the way.

The two of them walked along the path of Jian Province in the Taiji Palace, passed through two large and small palace gates, and finally came to the corridor of the Liangyi Palace.

At this time, there were several officials sitting in the shade under the porch, talking.

The weather was unreasonably hot, but they still meticulously maintained etiquette, and they were impatient in their gestures.

Xiao Yu and Mrs. Xiao are also among them, he seems to be a little in good spirits, and his whole person is full of decadence. Although he kneels like the others, his hands are on the sides of his legs, as if to support the center of gravity of the body.

Qin Ying knew that he couldn't follow Bai Dalang to meet Mrs. Xiao, so he stood far away by the more than ten steps of the Liangyi Palace, waiting quietly.

I saw the two white men bending down to salute and whispering a few words to Mrs. Xiao, and Mrs. Xiao reluctantly stood up and went to the steps urgently. Bai Dalang saw that the crown prince and Fu Li had not been caught, so he hurriedly led Bai Hao to the dust and asked him to help him walk slowly.

Qin Ying's gaze fell on the white jade steps, and he didn't notice that there was a tall figure behind him.

“…… Lord Qin's official position has recently been promoted instead of decreasing, which is really a blessing. Hou Junji smiled and lowered his head maliciously, approached Qin Ying's back collar, and blew lightly.

She became more and more disgusted with this person in her heart, walked forward with a straight face, avoided Hou Junji's frivolous provocation, and left a sentence: "His Royal Highness the Prince's medicine pot contains cinnabar, it's best not to let someone know that you sent someone to do it." It's okay if you and I have grudges that are hard to break, don't implicate other people. ”

Hou Jun approached her treacherously and asked, "Then Mei Sanniang, what should Lord Qin explain?" ”

Qin Ying glanced at him with extreme indifference, without emotions similar to anger or sadness: "She is a very important person to Qin. X would never push her into the fire pit because of a little personal matter. You were injured because of her, and you have no connection with Qin. Even if a certain person wants to let the military department of the current dynasty die and die. ”

"—why do you hate me?" He was silent for a moment before saying.

Qin Ying, who was in Hou Junji's sight, snorted, didn't answer again, and gathered his sleeves to meet Bai Dalang.

In his previous life, Qin Ying died because of him. In this life, it is normal for Qin Ying to be hostile to him.

Seeing the culprit walking around the Taiji Palace in a three-rank official costume, she felt very unhappy, but she couldn't come out clearly.

However, there is always an extraordinary tacit understanding between enemies.

They don't have to rely on words and deeds to detect the other person's deepest hidden feelings, called disgust and resentment.

The last time Hou Junji had a quarrel with Qin Ying in front of the early dynasty, it was because of this.

Mrs. Xiao was very old, and Bai Dalang had been paying attention to his complexion, so he didn't have the energy to observe Qin Ying, so he didn't see the swaying of her steps.

On the way, Bai Dalang asked Mrs. Xiao something, but Qin Ying didn't listen, and went to the side with a vague mind.

She has been guessing who is behind the scenes since she woke up from her coma.

Qin Ying made up the brains of the people in the harem of the previous dynasty, and always felt that they had no reason to harm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince through the decoction.

The sentence that Hou Junji said at the beginning today had a deep meaning, Qin Ying thought of his consistent style of acting, so he only cared about the result and did not look at the process, and his back suddenly shuddered.

If you connect the poisoning with Hou Junji, it makes sense.

Hou Junji wanted to deal with Qin Ying, so he bribed the medicine boy to put cinnabar on the prince's medicine pot, and this bowl of poisonous decoction was presented by Qin Ying to His Royal Highness the prince, and if something happened to the prince's body, Qin Ying would be responsible. If His Majesty asked, Qin Ying was only afraid that he would be stripped of his official position and then imprisoned in Dali Temple to suffer from his flesh and skin.

It's a pity that Qin Ying accidentally drank the prince's decoction, replacing Li Chengqian's limbs with spasms and sharp pain in the spleen and stomach. Li Chengqian escaped a poisoning torture, and Qin Ying also escaped a severe punishment.

She unconsciously followed behind Bai Dalang and came to the two-story imperial study built with glazed tiles.

This is the place where His Majesty stays most often except for the Liangyi Palace, and the decoration used is inevitably richer than that of ordinary government offices.

Bai Dalang said loudly to the inside, helped Mrs. Xiao to enter the door, and looked back again: "The sun is scorching at noon, Lord Qin doesn't come in and stay?" ”

Qin Ying hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped through the three-layer white jade steps under the scrutiny of the guards, and then heard Li Shimin's words intermittently in his ears.

“…… I remember that you were crowned prince at the age of eight, and for the first time in four years, I was disappointed in you. You can't memorize books or write well, and I haven't been angry, because I think you are still young with the name of the prince.

"At the age of twelve or thirteen, you dare to lynch the prisoners of Dali Temple behind my back, what else do you dare not do when you grow up?

"That's a good reason you just looked. I was very anxious because of the poisoning of the doctor, and I heard that the poisoner was detained in Dali Temple, and I tried my best to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, so I did not follow the law and used lynching. Can you tell the difference between the doctor and Tang Lu? If you can't think clearly, how can I rest assured that this Li Tang will be passed on to you after a hundred years? ”

Li Shimin's anger in his stomach has now disappeared, he slowed down his voice and rubbed his eyebrows, reasoning with his eldest son.

These words were reasonable, and Qin Ying couldn't help but stand in His Majesty's position and silently agreed.

Her life, though precious to herself, was no match for any law.

At this time, Mrs. Xiao knelt in the center of the study, and kowtowed tremblingly: "The prince is doing foolish things because the ministers have no way to teach. Ministers are dead. However, His Royal Highness is still in poor health and can no longer kneel, His Majesty is very merciful, so he will forgive the prince for the time being. ”

Qin Ying turned her eyes when she heard this, and saw a familiar figure struggling to kneel in the south corner of the study, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.

Li Shimin hurriedly waved his hand and called, "Mrs. Xiao gets up first." Summoning Taifu here, I just want you to know how unworrying this son is. Originally, I wanted to wait for him to get better before letting Taifu teach, but it seems that this homework can't be delayed for a day. At the end of the year, you can continue to teach this bad boy. ”

A layer of dense sweat appeared on Xiao Yu's forehead, and when he heard this, he raised his hand and wiped it tremblingly, apologized to His Majesty again, and then stood up with Bai Dalang.

"The minister has committed the following crimes, and he is very ashamed of his kindness." Qin Ying walked to the front of His Majesty's bookcase, lifted the hem of his robe and knelt down to plead guiltily, "The minister felt that the bowl of soup medicine was a little strange, but he still brought it into the Lizheng Hall. And the minister didn't take the lead in reporting to the prince, so he drank his decoction. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw that his ministers were unconscious in front of him, and he was overly frightened, and he only did such a chilling thing today. If His Majesty insists on punishing the prince, he will punish the ministers together. ”
