Chapter 85 Seeking Personal Protection

Oh~

Empress Xiao had just been distracted, thinking of the clouds and rain with His Majesty last night, His Majesty was really brave, exactly the same as when he was young. After Xu Tingfu finished speaking, Empress Xiao came back to her senses at this time, and made a moan-like hum.

Xinlian couldn't help but glance at Empress Xiao, coughed quietly, Empress Xiao also felt out of shape, and hurriedly sat upright, changed her usual majestic face, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Tingfu, in this case, the evidence that you are the murderer is indeed insufficient, but you are the biggest suspect, which is well known." ”

"Niangniang, Yuan Ziyan, she ......"

"You listen to Hongu first." Empress Xiao waved her hand impatiently, and said: "The palace also knows that you took someone to catch Yuan Ziyan's appearance that day, but afterwards the palace also went through a series of investigations, and several palace maids and patrol guards can prove that Yuan Ziyan did meet Li Shimin, the second son of Tang Guogong, and his junior brother Li Chunfeng first, and then King Zhao cried and ran away from the princess. Therefore, Yuan Ziyan is an out-and-out victim, if he has to give Yuan Ziyan a murderous hat at this time, it is unreasonable, and maybe it will affect the palace, saying that it is unfair to handle the case. ”

Xu Tingfu sweated, and said sincerely: "Niangniang really knows everything in detail, and she knows everything." It's just that the old slave was also framed by someone, and death is not to be feared, but how unwilling! ”

"Xu Tingfu, your mind is understood in this palace. You are also an old man in the palace, you should understand that the most wronged person in this matter is the Wang family. The real murderer is not targeting the Wang family, but the little celebrity beside His Majesty, Yuan Ziyan. And you, Xu Tingfu, have never been in harmony with Yuan Ziyan, so people will seize this handle and make good use of it, although the means are not very clever, but this mind is also insidious. Empress Xiao snorted coldly: "As everyone knows, whether a person is favored or not, in addition to his own ability, depends on this person's creation." This Daxing Palace is big, there are many people, but no matter how big, it is not as big as the world, and there are many people who can't see it in the palace, how many can you see? There is not one among a thousand people, let alone a long companion like Yuan Ziyan? Yuan Ziyan's current fortune is like the rising sun, and even the palace is very envious, isn't it that some people can move if they want to? ”

Empress Xiao finished her heart in one breath, and everything was reasonable, Xu Tingfu was grateful, but she was still unwilling to say: "The slave thanks Niangniang for her trust, but if you want to say that both the slave and Yuan Ziyan are suspicious, and the evidence is insufficient, then they should all be arrested, why bother Yuan Ziyan is at large, but the old slave has to suffer from prison?" It's really not fair! ”

You old thing is a fool!

Empress Xiao was immediately annoyed, her apricot eyes widened, and her willow eyebrows were upside down, which startled Xu Tingfu, and she didn't know why Empress Xiao also spoke to Yuan Ziyan and reprimanded herself for her.

It was still Xinlian's brain that turned the fastest, and she knew where Empress Xiao was annoyed, so she hurriedly interrupted: "Xu Tingfu, you are in prison and let the rats bite and confuse, if you want to say that those who enter the princess's courtyard are suspected, isn't it even King Zhao to blame?" ”

"Oops!" Xu Tingfu was annoyed and wanted to hit the wall, why did he forget about this stubble, and kept kowtowing with a bitter face to confess, "Niangniang, even if the old slave has a hundred guts, he doesn't dare to frame our Zhao Wangye." King Zhao is kind and kind, he is the heart of the mother, and the slave is in a hurry, so he will not choose to speak, talk nonsense, should be beaten, should be beaten! ”

Xu Tingfu said, he started his mouth with his own hands, crackling, and there was no ambiguity at all, less than ten strokes, both faces were red, like rotten apples.

"Enough!" Empress Xiao glanced at her in disgust, and said unhappily: "I won't tell you, there are also rumors in the palace that this palace is at odds with the Wang family, so I instructed Gao'er to harm that woman." Hmph, it's really nonsense, Gao'er can't even bear to hurt a cricket, how can he kill someone, he is a child less than ten years old. Now the people in the palace are really too idle, and they have nothing to do to make up these harmful rumors. ”

"Yes, yes! The old slave knows his mistake and never dares again! ”

"Xu Tingfu, now that the matter has come to this, this palace hopes that you will be patient for the time being. Since this palace learned about this, it has not been idle for a moment, and it has found other evidence, and you can be cleared, and there will be a result in the near future. But then again, in order to close the mouth of Youyou, you should go back to the prison and stay in prison first, waiting for the good news from the main palace. Empress Xiao hinted.

Empress?!

Xu Tingfu was taken aback, and then kowtowed happily again, and said: "I didn't think that Niangniang would spend so much trouble for this trivial matter of the slave, and the slave will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and it will be difficult to repay the great kindness of the mother." Xie Niangniang, Xie Niangniang! ”

Go back!

Empress Xiao showed a tired look on her face, this trial has been going on for most of the day, she didn't rest well yesterday, and now she feels even more sore back, in case Your Majesty is in high spirits tonight, and comes to Yong'an Palace again, this state is not good. Nothing is more important than being with Your Majesty.

Be!

Xu Tingfu hurriedly got up and walked backwards, but as he walked, he thought about it. Although the queen has put a lot of effort into this matter, in the final analysis, it is not for herself, but for the safety of the saint.

The concubine died, His Majesty personally explained to the queen to investigate thoroughly, of course the queen had to find out one, two, three, one was Liwei, and the second was to suppress the bad habits in the palace. Out of this wicked person who can take advantage of the chaos to kill people, no one dares to give up easily, this murderer clearly did not take Empress Xiao, the lord of the court, in his eyes and challenged her authority.

But then again, it has been some days since I left Daizhou, and there was a heavy rain across the country before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everything was washed clean early, and I heard that even the Wang family who was killed had been buried in the ground. If there was anything missing from her deceased, there would be no chance to dig it out and study it again.

Now, it is getting farther and farther away from the incident, if the queen has not been able to judge the case, is she really willing to wait for news in prison? Or maybe the evidence is still insufficient, that little goblin Yuan Ziyan said a few bad things about himself in His Majesty's ear, His Majesty turned a blind eye, I am afraid that when I return to prison today, I will come up with a lot of variables.

A cold wind blew at the door, and Xu Tingfu couldn't help but shiver and stopped his pace.

"Why don't you leave?" Empress Xiao was very unhappy, feeling that the words had been said to Xu Tingfu so thoroughly, he was still hesitant, he was really a slave who was afraid of death.

But Xinlian asked partially: "Father-in-law Xu, do you still have something important to tell?" ”

Xu Tingfu hesitated slightly, finally relentlessly, and finally came to kneel down in front of the queen and asked, "The evidence found by Niangniang may determine that the slave is not guilty?" ”

"Of course, you'll have to wait a little longer!" Empress Xiao looked displeased, and felt that Xu Tingfu was very annoying.

"If that's the case, the old slave hopes that Niangniang will let the old slave go back to His Majesty immediately!" Xu Tingfu said loudly with courage.

What the?!

Empress Xiao and Xinlian were very surprised, the room was quiet, and everyone was pondering each other's thoughts. It was Empress Xiao who took the lead in breaking the silence and asked: "Xu Tingfu, this palace has already said that you will stay in prison for a long time, so as not to let others say that this palace is looking for personal protection." Can't you still trust this palace? Do you have to force this palace to give you a guarantee? ”

"The slave never dares, the slave is in prison these days, gnawing on the cold nest, drinking muddy soup and water, learning to crow rats, learning cockroaches to crawl, and it can be regarded as seeing through the impermanence of the world, and he has already made up his mind to be executed. I don't want Niangniang's words today, so that the old slave can rekindle the hope of survival, I cherish it very much, I just want to repay His Majesty's mother, how dare I kick my nose in the face, and make Niangniang unhappy. As for the hope of returning to His Majesty's side, it is definitely not for himself, the old slave dared to ask Niangniang, is the gossip in the palace important, or is His Majesty's safety more important in Niangniang's heart? ”

"What the hell do you have to say?" Empress Xiao realized that the situation was serious, but she never expected that this matter could still involve His Majesty's safety. Your Majesty is the pillar of Empress Xiao, if he is gone early, how can he still live? At the same time, Empress Xiao ordered the idlers to leave as soon as possible.

Xu Tingfu still lowered his head and didn't speak, and squinted at the heart lotus beside Empress Xiao.

Xinlian was very unhappy, she clearly still regarded herself as an outsider, if she didn't want to suppress Yuan Ziyan through him, how could she let this old slave get out of prison alive, I really don't know what to do.

Despite this, Xinlian still understands that Her Majesty is the heaven of Empress Xiao, and instead of being driven away, it is better to take the initiative to retire. So he gave a gift and said understandingly: "Niangniang, after saying this for a long time, you must be thirsty." The slave will go and boil you some light porridge to moisten your throat. ”

Well, Empress Xiao nodded, and waited for Xinlian to leave, then asked: "If you have something to say, this palace hates to talk and hide it the most, and it is tired to listen to it." ”

Be! Xu Tingfu took another step forward, in fact, he wanted to walk to Queen Xiao's side, but the basin of water was not washed clean when he came, and he was afraid that a turbid gas would smoke the nobles, so he had to stand still at the bottom of the steps, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, I can't hide it, since Yuan Ziyan entered the palace, the old slave has discovered a strange thing." ”

"Oh? What's weird? Empress Xiao immediately raised her vigilance, her husband was heartfelt, but if she had something to do with His Majesty, how could she miss it?

"I'm afraid that Your Majesty has a stubborn illness!" Xu Tingfu said boldly, and regretted it in his heart after speaking, if it wasn't, he would really be doomed!

Licentious! Empress Xiao stood up suddenly, walked down the steps, glared at Xu Tingfu, and asked through gritted teeth: "Xu Tingfu, do you know that saying such words is enough for you to die a hundred times!" ”

The words he said couldn't be recovered, Xu Tingfu let it go, and said earnestly: "Niangniang, you have promised to avenge the old slave, why should the old slave ask for his own hardship." I only hope to return to His Majesty as soon as possible, so as not to catch Yuan Ziyan's way. ”

"Less nonsense, talk fast!" Empress Xiao was a little crazy.
