"Emperor, even though the affairs of the government are important, your body is the most important. Some things can be handed over to the people below, so why should you bow down to everything? The Queen Mother persuaded earnestly.

"Yes, father, or leave today's matter to the son." Feng Yao immediately responded.

"Ahem," Emperor Ji Wu coughed twice, then waved his hand, and said lightly, "No need, I'm fine, how can it be as serious as you say." ”

Hearing this, Feng Yao's eyes seemed to be a little lost, and the Queen Mother's worry gradually turned into displeasure.

"Eighth child, help the Empress Dowager sit down," Emperor Ji Wu said softly to Feng Yao.

"Yes," Feng Yao responded, walked to the Queen Mother's side, and carefully held her arm, "Imperial grandmother, just listen to your father, sit down first!" ”

Emperor Ji Wu had already said this personally, and the Queen Mother was not easy to refute, so she had to sit down unwillingly.

"The emperor urgently summoned us over just for the sake of the county lord of Anping, right? But this matter is already conclusive, just hand it over to the Criminal Department for processing, why bother with it? ”

"Queen Mother, after all, she is the daughter of Xiangguo, and she is the lord of Anping County, so I should ask one or two." After Emperor Ji Wu finished speaking, he seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly picked up the teacup and took a few sips.

The Queen Mother snorted with a calm face, and said coldly, "The mourning family wants to listen, what else do you have to say!" ”

Jin Su knelt down again and said, "The courtiers are indeed wronged, please allow the emperor and the queen mother to allow the courtiers to prove their innocence!" ”

"You ......"

"Good! I'm here to give you this chance! ”

The Queen Mother and Emperor Ji Wu actually spoke at the same time, but the Queen Mother swallowed back the words that had already come to her mouth.

"Emperor Xie!"

After kowtowing to Emperor Ji Wu, Jin Su asked and looked at Mama Li, and asked with a fearless face, "Dare to ask Mama Li, how can you be sure that this futon with the Nantian Bamboo Fruit was covered by me last night?" After all, most of the quilts covered by the palace maids are the same color, and it is difficult to distinguish them! ”

Mama Li glanced at Poria who was kneeling beside her, and said confidently, "What's so difficult about this?" The slave maid has been to the palace maid's room, and it is clear which palace maid sleeps on which bed, how can she not tell the difference? ”

"Oh?" Jin Su disagreed, and asked Poria instead, "Poria Cocos, I remember that there seems to be a patch on your futon, right?" ”

"Huh?"

Poria was suddenly named, a little stunned, as if she didn't know how to respond, and her eyes for help kept wandering beside Mama Li.

"Yes or no?" Jinsu asked again.

Feng Yao and Emperor Ji Wu, both of them watched quietly, and they had no intention of interfering.

Mama Li's eyes stared directly at the futon in the hands of the little father-in-law behind her, and she couldn't wait to open it immediately.

Mama Hua also noticed that Poria Cocos was unusual, and she was probably worried that such a move would make Emperor Ji Wu suspicious, so she reminded, "Poria Cocos, Miss An asked you something, and you answered truthfully, why are you stunned?" ”

"Oh, yes, slave, there is indeed a patch on the servant's bedding, but it is in the inner corner, and it is inconspicuous." Poria lowered her head and whispered.

"There's a word embroidered on it, isn't it?" Jinsu continued to ask.

"Yes, the slave felt that the patch was too ugly, so she embroidered a Ling character inside." After Poria finished speaking, she raised her eyes slightly to look at Mama Li, and then quickly lowered her head.

Jin Su arched his hand, "Your Majesty, the courtiers want to check on the spot whether the bedding with the Nantian bamboo fruit is embroidered on the corner of the quilt as Poria said." ”

"Accurate!" Emperor Ji Wu waved his hand.

Feng Yao beckoned the little father-in-law holding the futon to come forward and motioned for him to spread the inside of the futon on the ground.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the futon, but Jinsu was the only one who knelt calmly, observing the expressions of the Queen Mother and others.

Even Poria herself stretched her neck to see clearly. Seeing her like this, Jinsu was even more relieved.

"Eh, you, that palace maid, come and see if this is your futon!" Feng Yao coldly beckoned Poria over.

And Poria didn't get up, crawled over, carefully inspected the four quilt corners, and the more she looked at it, the more excited she became, and finally even her hands shook unconsciously.

The Queen Mother glared at Mama Li, and Mama Li couldn't stand anymore, and grabbed the futon with her fist, and at this time she didn't care that there were still many red juices of Nantian bamboo fruits left on the futon.

"Poria, is this your futon?" Jinsu asked.

"This ...... This ...... "Poria is stumbling and can't speak clearly."

"Bold slave, the emperor is here, it's not good to answer!" Father-in-law Qi scolded.

Poria seemed to have just reacted, and hurriedly kowtowed, "Back to the emperor, this is ...... This is not a servant's bedding. ”

Mama Li pulled the futon, checked it several times, and muttered in disbelief, "This is impossible, this is impossible, it was obviously taken from Poria's bed!" ”

"It seems that Mama Li should have misremembered!" Jin Su said lightly.

Immediately afterwards, Mama Li raised her head violently, knelt down facing the Queen Mother, and said, "Queen Mother, this bedding is indeed on Poria's bed, and there is still Miss An's burden on the bed, how can the slave and maid remember wrong?" ”

"Heh~" Jin Su sneered, "Speaking of burdens, the courtiers are also helpless." Although this burden is nominally owned by the courtier, it is not up to the courtier to decide where it is placed and what it contains. The courtiers arrived at Ningshou Palace on the first night, and the things in the baggage had already been turned into nothing. When I went back the next day, because the bed was wet, I was afraid that I would not be spared from thinking about the burden, and I didn't even touch it. ”

"Even if this is not Poria's bedding, it can't clear your innocence, you may have hidden the poison in the bedding of other palace maids!" The more Mama Li spoke, the more excited she became, and she was already a little strong.

The Queen Mother frowned and glanced at Mama Li, and she didn't continue.

"Miss An, since you said that the murderer was not you, and the Nantian bamboo fruit was not picked by you, the mourning family asked you, where were you yesterday? And who can testify against you? ”

The Queen Mother probably would never have thought that someone would really testify against her, and this is it.

Emperor Ji Wu and the Queen Mother of Fengyao arched their hands, and said calmly, "Yesterday, when I was in You, Erchen saw the county lord of Anping. Just outside the palace of the concubine, it was about two o'clock in the middle of the day, and after a few small talks, the son sent her back to Ningshou Palace. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Ji Wu hooked the corners of his mouth, as if he was both surprised and delighted.

Jin Su was still kneeling calmly, but there were waves in his heart. Feng Yao stepped forward this time, but she was a little moved. It was one thing for her to ask him to testify, and quite another for him to testify on her behalf.

The Queen Mother looked at Jin Su and was so angry that the roots of her teeth itched, she must have thought that this was a trap that Jin Su deliberately set for her. Because in Ningshou Palace, this question was asked, but Jin Su only said that he was lost at the time, and did not mention that he had met Feng Yao.

After a long time, no one in the hall spoke, Emperor Ji Wu put down the teacup and asked leisurely, "Queen Mother, do you have anything else to ask?" ”

The Queen Mother glared at Jin Su, then looked at Emperor Ji Wu kindly, and said with a smile, "I didn't hear her mention these things in Ningshou Palace just now, but now it seems that it is really the fault of the mourning family." ”

Then, he pretended to be charitable and accused Jin Su, "You said that you are too, if you could have told me this earlier, it would not have been like many things later, and the whole palace would have known about it, which is not good for your reputation!" ”

Jin Su respectfully explained to the Queen Mother, "The incident happened suddenly, and the courtiers only felt confused in Ningshou Palace, and they didn't remember the futon until they left. As for the courtiers making noise in the palace, they are really in a hurry, and they hope that the emperor and the queen mother will forgive their sins! ”

After speaking, Jin Su lowered his head and waited for Emperor Ji Wu to make the final judgment.

"That's it, this time you can be regarded as wronged, and I won't blame you," Emperor Ji Wu said, and then asked, "Queen Mother, what do you say?" ”

"Since the emperor has said so, then so be it!" After the Queen Mother finished speaking, the smile on her face became more and more stiff.

"Courtier, thank the Queen Mother for her grace, thank the Emperor for your grace!" Jinsu said as he kowtowed.

Feng Yao on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand behind his back gradually loosened his clenched fist.

"Get up, Lord Anping," Emperor Ji Wu raised his hand, looked at Jin Su's eyes, and returned to his previous gentleness.

Feng Yao arched his hand and said, "Father, Imperial Grandmother, since it has been proved that the county lord of Anping is innocent, it means that the real murderer is still at large. This person dared to commit murder in Ningshou Palace, and tried to frame the county lord of Anping afterwards, which is really ill-intentioned! ”

"Well, the eighth is right, it's about the safety of the Queen Mother, and I can't be careless! But this is a matter of the palace after all, and it is not easy for the officials of the Criminal Department to investigate, ......" Emperor Ji Wu thought for a while, pointed at Feng Yao and said, "Old eight, this matter, I will leave it to you to investigate!" Be sure to check it out! ”

"Yes, my son obeys!" Feng Yao replied.

The Queen Mother still maintained a little relaxation on the surface, but when she looked at Mama Li, her eyes were obviously displeased.

"The queen mother has been tossed for most of the day and is tired, so go back and rest early! For other things, just leave it to the eighth child to deal with it with peace of mind! Emperor Ji Wu said.

The Queen Mother was helped up by Mama Hua and said with a smile, "Everything is up to the emperor, and the mourning family just blindly hides laziness, hehe~~"

"Oh, by the way, since the county lord of Anping is a guest in the palace, let's live in Linglong Pavilion, where it is clean and elegant, and it is most suitable for self-cultivation, and then let Qi Tian arrange a few grandmothers to serve in the past." Emperor Ji Wu so blatantly asked Jin Su from the Queen Mother.

"Yes, the slave takes the order," Gonggong Qi on the side responded.

The Queen Mother originally wanted to say something, but she was pulled by Mama Hua, and she only smiled slightly, flicked her sleeves, and walked away.

"Courtiers, thank you for the emperor's favor!"

Jin Su didn't know what Linglong Pavilion meant, just thinking that he had finally broken away from the Queen Mother, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he was secretly happy.

Only Feng Yao, looking at Emperor Ji Wu's eyes looking at Jinsu, his eyes were a little gloomy.
