Although he is a county lord, for the royal family, this is also the second child of the Hao Zi generation, even if it is a daughter, the emperor still likes it very much.

Regardless of the few people who knelt on the ground arguing, the emperor walked a few steps forward quickly, originally thinking that he was going to see the little county lord, but the imperial doctor handed over a hairpin to the emperor.

"Emperor Qiqi, this is the hairpin inserted in Liu's chest."

The emperor took the hairpin, his eyes narrowed, and he no longer cared about the little county lord, but directly took the hairpin to Mo Leyuan and Xu Zigui, threw the hairpin in front of Mo Leyuan, and said angrily: "Anyang, what else do you have to say!" ”

Looking at the red jade bead crested golden step on the ground, Xu Zigui closed his eyes slightly, and was about to stand up and take a qiē matter on himself, but who knew that Mo Leyuan picked up the hairpin one step ahead of her, and wept at the emperor, and was ready to confess his guilt in a hurry.

"Le'er!"

"Your Majesty."

When Xu Zigui was about to stop Mo Leyuan, Xu Yizheng also came out of the inner room, saluted the emperor, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, the Liu family is bleeding heavily, and his life cannot be saved." ”

"What!"

Xu Zigui seemed to be a little unable to support it, and almost fell to the ground, if Liu Zijin couldn't survive and died without explaining clearly, then Mo Leyuan's life would really be over.

Taking a deep breath and trying to calm himself, he asked, "How is the situation with the Liu family?" ”

Xu Yizheng shook his head and said to the emperor: "The Liu family said that if you have something to say, you must say it to the emperor." ”

After that, he looked at Xu Zigui again and continued: "There are still things to ask the crown princess Niangniang." ”

The emperor nodded, turned his head to look at Xu Zigui and said, "You get up first and go in with me." ”

Xu Zigui cautiously got up and responded: "Yes." He nodded at Mo Leyuan and Mo Ziyuan, and comforted them with his eyes, when he passed by Ji Mingyue's side, Xu Zigui did evoke a smile of unknown meaning, looked at Ji Mingyue who was kneeling on the ground condescendingly, and then raised his feet and walked into the inner room quickly.

Because of excessive blood loss, Liu Zijin's face was very pale, and now he finally stopped the bleeding, but he listened to the imperial doctor's meaning and said that he would encounter a blood collapse at any time, so Liu Zijin thought about ending the matter while he was still awake.

Seeing the emperor come in, Liu Zijin struggled to get up and salute, but was stopped by the emperor: "You are unwell, you don't need to salute." ”

Liu Zijin breathed a sigh of relief, lay on the bed and said lightly: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

The emperor nodded, glanced at Liu Zijin, and asked, "You said you have something to say to me?" What's up? ”

Liu Zijin nodded, and after telling the emperor how he was taken away and tied to the trunk of the tree, he looked at Xu Zigui lightly, and looked at Xu Zigui for half a minute, just when Xu Zigui's palms were full of sweat and about to collapse, he said again: "The man kidnapped the concubine and tied it to the trunk of the tree, and stabbed the concubine into the chest with a hairpin without giving the concubine a chance to resist. ”

Xu Zigui breathed a sigh of relief at this time, glanced at Liu Zijin gratefully, and saw that Liu Zijin shook his head at himself, as if he was polite again, Xu Zigui remembered that this was a person who was about to go west, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little red.

The parties said so, the emperor naturally believed it, and in the emperor's subconscious, Liu Zijin would not joke with his life, and naturally he would not hurt himself and blame others, besides, if he was really hurt by Mo Leyuan, Liu Zijin and Mo Leyuan had no friendship, so there was no need to help her hide it at all, besides, if such a thing was arranged on Mo Leyuan, it would be a big blow to Mo Ziyuan, so it could also give Mo Chengyuan some opportunities.

From the emperor's point of view, Liu Zijin did not do this, firstly because his conscience could not get by, and secondly, because he hated the person who hurt him and wanted to catch the real murderer.

Therefore, the emperor asked again: "Do you know who wants to harm you?" ”

Liu Zijin shook his head while crying and said, "The concubine doesn't know, the concubine doesn't know." ”

But in this way, it is more like knowing who it is but not being able to say.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and wanted to continue asking, but was interrupted by Liu Zijin's next words: "The crown princess, the concubine has something to ask for." ”

Xu Zigui nodded, stepped forward and took her hand, wiping her tears, and said, "If you have anything to say, this palace will definitely help you do it." ”

Liu Zijin seemed to be relieved at this time, and pleaded: "The poor child of the concubine, I'm afraid that I will lose my mother just after birth...... Concubine, concubine really didn't dare to hand over the child to the care of the six princesses...... She...... She's going to kill this child......"

People are dying and their words are good, but Liu Zijin said such a thought-provoking sentence, and the emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, wondering if this matter was planned by Ji Mingyue.

After all, Liu Zijin has been favored by Mo Chengyuan since he entered the mansion, and he was pregnant with the first child of the royal family, Ji Mingyue will inevitably not be jealous, so he thought about getting rid of the child with his biological mother, and just in time for the fall of Mo Qingyuan, Mo Chengyuan was a little anxious, Ji Mingyue thought about getting rid of people and then shirking it to Mo Leyuan, and then secretly arranging to push it to Mo Ziyuan step by step, in that way, how can a person who will hurt even his own nephew continue to be the prince?

When the emperor thought about it like this, he felt more and more that it was possible, but because of the eldest princess of Linhai, he couldn't immediately investigate the matter thoroughly, and he inevitably felt a little guilty about Liu Zijin, besides, the child was indeed the emperor's first granddaughter, and he was also very rare, if Xu Zigui was allowed to be raised, he could also see that it was one from time to time, and the second could also use this matter to suppress Ji Mingyue, which could be regarded as saying that he didn't know anything, but he just didn't move her for the time being.

Thinking like this, the emperor nodded and agreed: "In this way, Yunjin, you will take this child back to the East Palace to raise it." ”

Xu Zigui nodded, yes, he wanted to say something more, but he saw Liu Zijin smiling at them as if he was returning to the light, and was about to speak, but Liu Zijin closed his eyes as if he couldn't stand it anymore.

The emperor hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to come in and take a look, the imperial doctor came in, lifted the quilt and took a look, only to know that he didn't know when, Liu Zijin had collapsed in blood, but he had been holding on, and when the emperor agreed to her request, she was relieved, and she could naturally leave with confidence.

Xu Zigui couldn't bear to put aside his eyes and wipe his tears, because he had to deal with it, the emperor and Xu Zigui walked out together, the queen and the queen mother hurriedly stepped forward to ask how the situation was, the emperor shook his head, sighed, passed Li Shunde over, and said: "Spread my will, the Liu family gave birth to the first heir of the royal family, and its merits are commendable. Stopped for seven days, and one qiē was operated in accordance with the etiquette of the concubine. ”

This is to slap Ji Mingyue's face again. Ji Mingyue was the wife of Mo Chengyuan, who was rightfully married to the door, but was posthumously named the prince's concubine by the emperor and given the title. Liu Zijin has a title, which means that his status is higher than himself, although he is dead, he can't see anything on weekdays, and as a wife, he doesn't need to be a concubine in his rank, but after she dies in the future, her ranking will be below it!

Ji Mingyue gritted her teeth with hatred, but she couldn't speak out against it, but she didn't know that the more slap in the face was still to come.

On the other hand, after Li Shunde should be the queen, the female eunuchs of the palace knelt down against the door of the inner room: "Meet the princess of Shanci, may the concubine of Shanci be well." ”

The palace maids and eunuchs bowed, and the emperor said: "The crown princess is gentle and virtuous, the rules are excellent, and the royal heirs are particularly important. ”

The little princess was born to his mother and father, but he was arranged by the emperor to the side of the crown princess, does it mean that the emperor does not believe in the six princesses, suspects that the Liu family is the victim of the six princesses, and in order to ensure the safety of the child, the child was sent to the princess. But the crown princess has not given birth yet, and now she is ordered by the emperor like this, but she directly occupies the position of the eldest daughter, so that even if the crown princess gives birth to a concubine in the future, she will have to stand aside. In this way, the emperor not only slapped the six princesses in the face, but even the crown princess was implicated - not being implicated by letting a concubine take the position of the prince's concubine?

Xu Zigui sighed slightly, stepped forward to take the little county lord from the nurse's hand, glanced at the little county lord meaninglessly, sighed, Huizhong means Xiuwai Huizhong, which can be regarded as expressing the emperor's great hopes for this little county lord.

Xu Zigui hurriedly knelt down to thank the little county lord, Mo Ziyuan also hugged his fist and thanked the emperor, the emperor accepted the thank you, and the female eunuchs of the palace bowed to the little county lord again. In this way, the emperor replied and said: "Princess Anyang is timid and afraid, and she is not worthy of the title of the eldest princess of a country, so she hereby takes away the title of princess and is specially demoted to the lord of Anyang." ”

The emperor was so depreciated, and everyone suddenly couldn't figure out what the emperor wanted to do, especially the murder of the Liu family, although it was just a concubine, but he openly committed murder in the palace, but he could make the emperor not check or ask, thinking that it was a very high status in the emperor's heart, and the emperor wanted to protect that person.

In this way, everyone not only looked at Mo Leyuan and Ji Mingyue and spun back and forth, one of these two people was the daughter of the eldest princess of the dynasty, and the other was the most favored eldest princess of the dynasty, both of these two people were very likely to be the objects that the emperor wanted to cover, and the emperor belittled these two people, especially Mo Leyuan, and directly demoted him to the county lord, not to mention that Xu Zigui and Mo Leyuan have always been friends, and now they are also involved in this matter, I think Mo Leyuan is more suspicious.

While everyone was speculating, the emperor had already begun to send everyone away, saying, "On Chinese New Year's Eve today, you all go back to the mansion to celebrate the New Year, and Ming'er will come to congratulate you again in the morning." ”

During this period, there was no mention of the murderer. Everyone knew in their hearts that the murderer behind the scenes must not be an ordinary person, so they were all very discerning and no one mentioned this matter again.

Liu Zijin was moved out of Fengqi Palace and brought back to the Six Princes' Mansion, the queen watched the palace maids go in and out of the inner hall to clean up the inner hall, couldn't help but sigh lightly, saluted the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines are not clean here after all, and the emperor is still ......."

Who knew that before the empress finished speaking, the emperor raised his hand to interrupt her words, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just go to a side hall, if you don't stay with you on Chinese New Year's Eve, you won't be able to sleep." ”

The queen knew that this was after the emperor belittled Mo Leyuan and Xu Zigui today, and she felt uncomfortable, so she stayed here to coax herself. After the queen sighed slightly in her heart, she didn't say anything, just said: "The emperor has been wronged." Then he instructed Jinxi to clean up the side hall.

And after Xu Zi returned to the palace, he saw Yuerong and Yuexi, and only then did he know that the emperor had quietly ordered someone to release the two of them back. Seeing the two of them, Xu Zigui breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the hands of the two, and said, "Thank God, it didn't drag the two of you down." ”

Yuerong Yuexi's eyes were slightly red, and she said that she almost caused trouble to her master. Xu Zigui gave Lan Xiang a few glances, and several people hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the two of them, and Xu Zigui turned his head to look at the nurse. Xu Zigui looked at Sister Hui'er's expression a little complicated, but it was only a flash.

"Panxiang, go and clean up the courtyard in the southwest for the little county lord to live in, which is closer to the main hall."

Panxiang should be, Xu Zigui continued to instruct: "Mother Lan is a careful person, so she went to the courtyard in the southwest to be a housekeeper mother, and the little county lord handed it over to you The palace is also relieved." ”

After Lan's mother hurriedly responded to the thanks, Xu Zigui instructed again: "Go and find Chunhua, as well as Xia Mo and Yingge...... Let's go and get them all. ”

It was Chinese New Year's Eve, and they were all going to keep vigil, and they were not afraid that they would sleep. Besides, such a big thing happened in the East Palace, and there was a little master overnight, and they should also recognize the master.

Pan Chun should be, and walked a few steps quickly to call people, while Xu Zigui continued to ask the nurse, "Do you have a name?" ”

The nurse hurriedly gave a gift and replied: "Hui Niangniang, the old slave's family name is Cui." ”

Xu Zi nodded and called "Urge Mom", and then instructed Mother Lan: "In this way, the two of you will be in charge of the affairs of the Little County Lord's Palace from now on, and no mistakes will be allowed." ”

The two of them should be blessed at the same time, and it happened that Panchun brought everyone over, and said outside the curtain: "Niangniang, everyone has brought it, please ask Niangniang to instruct." ”

Xu Zigui nodded and said to his mother, "Take the little county lord to the main hall." ”

Urging his mother to be, Xu Zigui ordered outside again: "Go to the main hall and wait." ”

After that, he turned his head and glanced at Mo Ziyuan with a complicated expression, and sighed: "Your Highness will wait for the concubine in the inner room for a while, and the concubine will come when she goes." ”

Mo Ziyuan nodded and said, "Let them recognize Huizhong first." (To be continued.) )
