Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Prince Asks for His Life
Everyone walked to the front yard of Huixian Tower one after another. At this time, Lin Qijiang, the prince of Lin, stepped forward and knelt down in front of the queen mother and the six princes and bowed, "Weichen knocks to see the queen mother, the six princes." ”
The Queen Mother opened her eyes slightly, and when she saw that it was Prince Lin who was kneeling on the ground, she hurriedly sat up gently, "Lin Aiqing, what is this?" Hurry up, please. ”
Lin Qijiang didn't get up, he said with a little excitement, "Weichen has the courage to beg the queen mother and the six princes to make decisions for Weichen!" ”
Seeing that he didn't immediately calm down, the Queen Mother pretended to be displeased, and her face sank slightly, "Hurry up!" The mourning family is in charge of you! Lin Qijiang heard this, and then got up from the ground.
The queen mother saw that there seemed to be sadness in his expression, and just now she kept saying that she wanted the queen mother and the six princes to make decisions for him, and she couldn't help but be puzzled. It is understandable to let the mourning family make decisions for him, why do you want to bring the six princes in and out of the words? Could it be that Xiao'er did something to bully men and women and help the abuse?
As soon as she thought of this, the Queen Mother said coldly, "Emperor, come here." ”
Shan Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "The Queen Mother, the son is here." ”
The Queen Mother's sharp eyes swept over Shan Xiao's face, but she didn't find anything unusual in his expression: "Prince Lin wants to let the mourning family be the master, do you know the details?" ”
Of course, Shan Xiao knew why Lin Qijiang came, Lin Gongzi was poisoned and unconscious last night, and I am afraid he has not woken up yet. And the murderer of his son is still missing, and he is at large, as the prince of Tianqi Kingdom, how can he swallow this breath! Presumably, he wants the Queen Mother to make decisions for him and investigate the matter thoroughly.
Although he knew it in his heart, Shan Xiao still pretended not to know, "Back to the Queen Mother, the sons don't know." ”
The queen mother chuckled in her heart, and couldn't help but appreciate the prince who had just returned to the palace. Wait and see what happens, don't be surprised, and don't mess up first because things are related to you. This calmness and calmness is difficult for even ministers who have not been confused for many years to do, but the young man in front of him, who has not yet been crowned, shows a comfortable posture. It seems that the emperor recalled him to the palace for a reason.
The Queen Mother lowered her eyes slightly, her right hand gently covered the index finger of her left hand, and gently rubbed the superb green agate worn on it with her fingertips. asked in a kind and majestic voice, "Lin Aiqing, tell me, how do you want the mourning family to make decisions for you?" ”
"Back to the Queen Mother, the dog Lin Fanglong, this time with Weichen and his party, to participate in the food competition. Last night, when the dog and his friends went to play in the food street, they were accidentally poisoned and fell into a coma, and they have not woken up yet. As we all know, the food street is a snack street that is only held once every three years, and the whole country attaches great importance to it, and the security patrols are undertaken by the imperial forest army in the palace. However, some people put poison on the food street and committed murder, which is clearly to destroy the national event of our Tianqi country. According to Weichen's opinion, this is very likely to be a traitor to the party, intending to subvert our Tianqi Dynasty. Weichen begged the Empress Dowager to send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, and not to let the chaotic party cause trouble, disturb public order, and shake the people's hearts. ”
Lin Qijiang's tirade is obviously exaggerated and alarmist. The Empress Dowager interrupted him impatiently, "Lin Aiqing, I heard what you meant." It's that Lin Gongzi was poisoned, and you want the mourning family to send someone to find out the real culprit and arrest him. Is it? ”
Lin Qijiang couldn't help but blush when he was told by the Queen Mother, but he was indeed for this purpose, and it was not easy to refute it, so he had to say again, "Ask the Queen Mother to make the decision for Weichen!" ”
This time, it was no longer said that the six princes would make the decision for him, the queen mother smiled slightly, and said to Shan Xiao who was standing aside, "Emperor, this matter, the mourning family will hand it over to you, and you will arrange someone to investigate this matter." ”
The sixth prince nodded, and replied, "Back to the Queen Mother, Prince Lin said this, and the ministers also know a little about it. Last night, when Lin Gongzi was poisoned, Erchen was at the scene. At that time, in addition to Lin Gongzi, there was also a Lin Miao girl. ”
"Oh?" The Queen Mother didn't expect that Shan Xiao was also present at the time of the incident. So the kid snuck out of the palace last night to play. Realizing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but look at him with disgust.
Of course, Shan Xiao knew that as soon as this statement came out, the matter of sneaking out of the palace was exposed. However, the matter was very important, and he was not good at concealing it, so he had to look at the Queen Mother embarrassedly and flatteringly. Seeing that the latter didn't blame him more, Shan Xiao understood that the Queen Mother would turn a blind eye this time.
"Yes." Shan Xiao continued: "Last night, Erchen sent someone to send Lin Gongzi and Miss Lin Miao back to Huixian Tower, and asked Xiao Lizi to invite Imperial Doctor Xue out of the palace and go to Huixian Tower to treat the two of them. Last night, Miss Lin Miao had already been poisoned and woke up. Lin Gongzi"
"Back to the sixth prince, Lin Gongzi also woke up, and when the slave just went to find Miss Lin, he passed by room 302. The slave saw with his own eyes that Lin Gongzi woke up. Xiao Lizi hurriedly interjected and came in.
Lin Qijiang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Really? Has the dragon woken up? Seeing Xiao Lizi nodding, Lin Qijiang's heart fell to the ground. That's great! It's good that the dragon woke up.
Shan Xiao glanced at Lin Miao who was standing aside, thought for a while and said, "Also, this Lin Miao girl is the chef who entered the top four yesterday." She had already gone off the poison last night, and it stands to reason that she would have no problem participating in the finals. As soon as these words came out, the sweat on Liu Wanfu's shopkeeper's face came down. He looked at the six princes pitifully, as if to say: The six princes, you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge! I'm doing what you want.
The Empress Dowager frowned and turned to Liu Wanfu, "What the six princes said is the truth?" ”
"This" Liu Wanfu's sweat on his head became more dense, he wiped his forehead with his hand, bent down to reply, and peeked at Shan Xiao, seeing the latter's firm expression, he knew that even if this was a black pot, he was the only one to carry it, "Back to the Queen Mother, what the six princes said, every sentence is true." ”
"True?" The Queen Mother's tail raised her voice, and her voice suddenly became stern, "Then since Lin Miao can participate in the finals, why is he missing today?" Shopkeeper Liu, what the hell did you do in the middle? ”
One sentence frightened the shopkeeper Liu's legs weak, knelt down, and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy, "The Queen Mother spares her life, the Queen Mother spares her life." It was the minion who was confused for a while, and the minion thought that since he had reported to the Queen Mother overnight last night, there was a chef who could not participate in the finals due to poisoning. If the Queen Mother came today and found that there were four people participating in the competition, it would cure the crime of slaves and bullying the king. ”
As soon as she heard this, the Empress Dowager Fengyan was furious, "Dog minion! What a guts! Are you saying that it was the mourning family that forced you to lie and let you win the qualification of Lin Miao? ”
When Liu Wanfu heard this, he was so frightened that he lost his voice, and he only knew that he was trembling all over, like a fallen leaf trembling in the autumn wind.
