Chapter 20: Born to the Wrong Person
"When I entered the palace earlier, I found that the eldest princess was seriously ill and related to the horse. originally planned to investigate the matter secretly, find out the evidence and then tell the emperor and the eldest princess, who knew that the emperor would find out.
The reason why the news that the eldest princess is critically ill today is that the emperor wants to lure the snake out of the hole, and he deliberately spread it, and he will let Lord Lin bring people here, but he just wants to make the drama real. ”
Judging from the gesture given to Lord Lin by the person not far away, the horse had already revealed its flaws, and the matter was settled.
When Xiao Dehou heard this, a heart was completely put in his stomach.
Xiao Yihuan looked at him like this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a touch of coldness: "I don't know if Daddy has ever thought about it, if I hadn't been able to dodge that knife just now, what would happen now, Hou Fu...... What will happen to you? ”
was reminded by him like this, Xiao Dehou stiffened.
If Xiao Yihuan dies and the emperor investigates it, the Hou Mansion will definitely be questioned.
He was about to say something nice and ask Xiao Yihuan not to mention this matter in front of the emperor, but found that she had disappeared in front of him.
Xiao Yihuan got into the carriage and headed towards the palace.
Although the matter has been resolved, she still has a question in her heart, why would the emperor believe her judgment?
Until now, there was no evidence on her hand to point to the colt.
"The emperor originally just wanted to test it, but he couldn't wait to spread the news, and the people who accepted the news were people from the eastern bordering country." Lord Lin seemed to see her doubts.
Xiao Yihuan was stunned.
Although she was not so familiar with the environment she was in, she also knew that the Eastern Border Country was a neighbor and enemy country of the Night Moon Country.
The dispute between the two countries has been constant for a century, and it has only subsided in recent years.
But he never thought that the ambition of the eastern border country has never diminished.
"The eldest princess will definitely be very sad when she knows this news." Xiao Yihuan thought of a bunch of comforting words, and kept repeating them in his mind, saving him the wrong words for a while.
But to her surprise, there was no sad atmosphere in the Lanyue Palace, and the eldest princess sat in the courtyard, basking in the sun leisurely, with a smile between her eyebrows.
Xiao Yihuan didn't know whether he should say it or not.
"You saved me twice." The eldest princess spoke suddenly.
"The eldest princess is serious, but she just accidentally guessed correctly." Xiao Yihuan thought of the previous conversation with the eldest princess, worried that she would lead the topic to Xiao Dehou again.
The eldest princess put down the dates in her hand and raised her eyes to look at her, "You are careless, but I haven't done it for many years." The person next to the pillow is so vicious, but I never realized that it was really stupid. ”
This is not easy to accept, Xiao Yihuan thought about it and decided to remain silent.
"You're a smart guy, and I like you a lot. It's a pity that you gave birth to the wrong person. The eldest princess said with regret.
Xiao Yihuan wanted to ask her what grievances there were between her and Xiao Dehou, but she was afraid that it would annoy her.
The answer to this question is probably the only one she can find herself.
"The emperor is still waiting for you, so I won't keep you. I will keep your saving grace in my heart. The eldest princess said and waved at her.
Xiao Yihuan was relieved and turned around and went to Chengqian Palace.
"Thanks to you, I have been able to find out such a big hidden danger. Say, what do you want? The emperor asked.
"The courtiers only ask for one grace, and they don't care how much the reward is, but the pomp must be big." Xiao Yihuan didn't care what the emperor would think of her.
Before she said that she didn't want a gift, the emperor really didn't give it to her, and this time she had to make up for it.
The emperor was amused by her, nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely give you enough pomp." ”
Xiao Yihuan only returned to the Hou Mansion on the front foot, and received a reward from two large carriages on the back foot, which contained many rare treasures and dazzling sights.
"You can pick what you like, just take it." Xiao Yihuan deliberately took out some things and distributed them to the people in the house.
Buying people's hearts is what she's good at.
The people picked up their favorite things and smiled very brightly.
Xiao Linglong walked over, slammed the things that one of the people was holding on the ground, and stepped on them twice, "Do you think these are good things?" If it's good, can she give it to you? ”
"Fourth sister, Gonggong Li hasn't left yet, if he hears what you said and spreads it to the emperor, I'm afraid it's not good?" Xiao Yihuan deliberately said loudly.
Gonggong Li was on the side, and he naturally heard what Xiao Linglong said.
He could have ignored it, but when Xiao Yihuan said this, he couldn't ignore it if he wanted to.
"This is a reward personally selected by the emperor, and naturally everything is a treasure." Gonggong Li said.
Xiao Linglong didn't look scared at all, but stiffened her neck and said, "Since it's something sent by the emperor, I'm afraid it can't be given away so easily, right?" Isn't it a disappointment to the emperor's wishes? ”
"The emperor rewarded the third lady, it is the third miss, and the third miss can deal with it as she wants. But the fourth lady just said something ugly. "Gonggong Li is an old man in the palace, and Xiao Linglong can't be his opponent at all.
Xiao Linglong was so angry that she wanted to scold, but fortunately, the maid next to her quickly dragged her aside, otherwise she didn't know what to do.
"Fourth Miss, the things given by the emperor can be transferred, but they can't be beaten. Fourth Miss, do you know that if the emperor knows, your Xiao family will have to be killed. ”
Xiao Linglong's face changed, and she didn't dare to say a word in front of Gonggong Li.
After Xiao Yihuan sent Gonggong Li away, he smiled apologetically at the people who hadn't been able to get the reward yet: "Since the fourth sister said that these are not good things, I can't give them to you anymore." ”
The subordinates complained, but they didn't dare to say bad things about Xiao Linglong, so they could only leave in a reluctant voice.
"I'm telling you, don't get complacent too soon, there will be a time when you will plant it!" Xiao Linglong left in a huff.
Xiao Yihuan looked at her back and only felt that she was in a particularly comfortable mood.
Not far away, Xu Ruge was about to tear the handkerchief in his hand.
Xiao Dehou on the side looked pleased, "I really didn't expect her to surprise me like this." ”
"It's not that the concubine is talkative, doesn't the master have any suspicions at all? Yihuan grew up in the countryside, why does he have such powerful medical skills? The concubine also heard that the eldest princess was not sad at all when the horse had an accident, as if everything had been expected by her. ”
If it weren't for Xiao Yihuan's resemblance to her mother, Xu Ruge would have doubted her identity.
"What do you mean by that?" Xiao De frowned.
"The concubine is just worried about the master. The mustard in the eldest princess's heart, after so many years, I am afraid that it has not been eliminated. Now Yihuan is so close to her......"
Xu Ruge didn't say any more.
It's not good to say it.
"Someone, go and call Mama Qiao over." Xiao Dehou commanded.
Xiao Yihuan was counting the things that the emperor had given her in the courtyard, and Mama Qiao was taken away.
She had a gut feeling that someone was behind her, so she quietly followed.
