Chapter 119: A Call for Help
Jinsu thought all the way.
Could Poria be the murderer? If Poria was the murderer, then when she put Nantian Zhuguo into the futon, didn't she find out that the futon was not hers?
If Poria is not the murderer, then why did she come forward to identify her?
She suddenly felt a little frightened now, as if someone was weaving a net for her, a net that she would not be able to escape from no matter what.
And Yuelan, maybe from the first time she provoked her, she was destined to die, but Yuelan's death was to make her a murderer!
Even if it's not today, tomorrow will end the same!
This game is really cleverly done, as if every step she takes, every place she goes, is carefully designed.
Thinking of this, Jin Su vaguely felt that the person who was manipulating this matter behind her back was quite not simple, and she even thought that perhaps, this was simply the hand of the Queen Mother.
Fortunately, she gave herself an extra eye. Otherwise, according to the evidence presented, it is basically a dead end, and it may also affect the entire Xiangfu and Jiahe Pharmacy.
But her heart and eye may be discovered at any time, and she can't be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River at that time.
Therefore, she must find a way to meet Emperor Ji Wu as soon as possible, and now only he has the ability to question the Queen Mother. I don't know where the confidence came from, she actually thought that Emperor Ji Wu was willing to believe her.
Jin Su was backhanded by two fathers-in-law, one on the left and one on the right, and there was only one father-in-law in front of him who led the way, and it was not difficult to escape from the three of them. However, she was not familiar with the terrain in the palace, and even if she wanted to run, she didn't know where to run.
Not long after leaving Ningshou Palace, she asked tentatively, "Father-in-law, shall we go directly to the Criminal Department?" β
Waited for a while, but there was no response.
Jin Su continued to say with a dead heart, "A few fathers-in-law, I know that you are just errand people, and you can't be the master, and I don't embarrass you, I just want to know, will you die in the palace?" β
"I am wronged, if I can't return my innocence, I will be a ghost, and I will not be at peace!" Speaking of this, Jin Su stopped and looked directly at the two fathers-in-law who were holding her on the left and right.
"You know, if a person has a grudge, what happens to her when she dies?" β
The two fathers-in-law unconsciously turned their faces away, as if they were afraid that she would remember them.
The father-in-law who led the way couldn't stand it after all, and said kindly, "Miss An, don't embarrass a few of our minions, the minions are all errand men in the harem, and they can't go to the previous dynasty." We're only responsible for sending you to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send you out! β
The Internal Affairs Office, she has some impressions, the Internal Affairs Office seems to be not far from the Council Palace, where there are frequent palace people in and out, the last time she saw it when she entered the palace, she asked more.
At this time, he should have gone down to court, hoping to have the opportunity to meet him, Jin Su secretly looked forward to it in his heart.
Walking and walking, I don't know how many palace gates I have crossed, but I saw that there are more palace people coming and going, and Jin Su guessed that the Internal Affairs Office should be almost there.
She took a deep breath, raised her head and shouted at the top of her voice, "Wronged, wronged!" β
Although the fathers-in-law were surprised, they saw that she had no intention of struggling to escape, so they also went with her.
The incessant shouts attracted the attention and whispers of many palace people.
I don't know if I heard her shout, or if it was destined for a long time, the savior in her heartβββ Eighth Highness Fengyao really came.
"What's going on?" Feng Yao put one hand behind his back, and the other hand was naturally placed in front of him, and asked expressionlessly.
"Servants greet His Highness Eight," several fathers-in-law said in unison.
At the same time, Jin Su knelt down with a "snap" and said with tears in his eyes, "Eighth Highness, the courtier An Jinsu asks for peace to the Eighth Highness, and also asks the Eighth Highness to be the master of the courtier!" β
After Jinsu finished speaking, he solemnly kowtowed. She didn't see it, Feng Yao's face had a complicated expression at this time, and her eyes were full of distress and worry.
"Get up and talk!" Toyo returned to his usual calm and coldness.
"I beg Your Highness to take your courtiers to see the emperor, only the emperor can give justice to your courtiers in this matter." Jin Su knelt and looked at Feng Yao with a pair of watery teary eyes.
Feng Yao understood what she meant, frowned, and after thinking for a while, he turned to say, "Okay, come with me!" β
The three fathers-in-law shouted with some hesitation, "Eighth Highness, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!" β
"Huh?" Feng Yao looked at them coldly.
The father-in-law immediately lowered his head and said timidly, "But the Queen Mother has confessed, and she wants to ......"
"The Queen Mother, this king will explain!" Feng Yao made a loud sound, as if he could not be ignored.
"Yes", several fathers-in-law had to respond in unison.
Along the way, Jin Su told Feng Yao the ins and outs of the matter. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, she is winning Feng Yao's sympathy. But in fact, she hopes that Feng Yao knows all the established facts as much as possible, so that she can help find some breakthroughs.
When they arrived at the gate of the council hall, they learned that Emperor Ji Wu had gone to the side hall to review the folds, so he led them to the side hall again.
The side hall is located on the west side of the council hall, and there are two halls next to each other, but there is still a long way to go around from the outside.
The guards at the entrance of the side hall were guards with knives, and when they saw Feng Yao, they saluted one after another, "Your Royal Highness." β
"Get up! But is my father alone inside? Feng Yao asked.
"Yes!"
Feng Yao nodded, turned around and walked to the entrance of the hall, and gently slammed the door.
The door immediately opened, and a little father-in-law came out of it, and when he saw Feng Yao, he saluted very respectfully, "Your Royal Highness." β
"Go and spread the word, this king has something to meet his father!"
"Your Highness, please wait!" The little father-in-law responded to Feng Yao on his lips, and when he turned to go in, he glanced at Jinsu.
After a while, the little father-in-law went and returned, raised his hand inside, and said, "Your Royal Highness, please!" β
Feng Yao nodded, turned to Jin Su and the others, "This king will go in first, and you will wait here." β
Jinsu nodded, and Feng Yao gave her a meaningful look before turning to leave.
After a while, the little father-in-law inside opened the door again and said, "Miss An, the emperor invites you in." β
"Yes, thank you, father-in-law!" Jin Su curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
The two fathers-in-law who were originally holding her naturally let go. Ke Jinsu took two steps and turned to the three of them and said, "You guys wait here first, what if the emperor has something to ask you?" β
"This ...... "Three fathers-in-law, you look at me, I'll look at you."
Jin Su stepped into the palace door and followed the little father-in-law around a big screen, only then did he see Emperor Ji Wu who was high above.
Jinsu lowered his head, took brisk small steps, walked to the position behind Feng Yao's left, stood still, and saluted generously, "Courtier An Jinsu, meet the emperor, the emperor is blessed with Jin'an!" β
"Ahem", Emperor Ji Wu coughed lightly twice.
Immediately afterwards, I heard Gonggong Qi whispering "Emperor", and then there was the sound of cups colliding, probably drinking tea, Jin Su guessed.
After a while, I heard Emperor Ji Wu say, "Don't be polite, get up and talk." β
"Emperor Xie!"
Jin Su got up and saw that Emperor Ji Wu was really holding a cup of tea, blowing on the one hand, and taking small sips on the other.
Jin Su didn't know whether to speak, and subconsciously glanced at Feng Yao beside him, but Feng Yao stood straight, and his eyes all fell on Emperor Ji Wu, who was high above, and he didn't pay attention to her eyes asking for help.
didn't get Feng Yao's response, Jin Su had to wait patiently, thinking in her heart that at least she would not speak until Emperor Ji Wu put down the teacup.
Emperor Ji Wu took a sip of tea, raised his head to look at her, and asked leisurely, "Listen to the eighth child, you are shouting injustice in the palace, what is the so-called matter?" β
"The courtiers were originally in Ningshou Palace to learn the rules of etiquette with Aunt Wenli, who knew that the two palace maids in the same room died mysteriously today, but the courtiers were accused of being murderers, the courtiers were really wronged, and asked the emperor to make decisions for the courtiers!"
"It is reasonable for the Queen Mother to transfer you to the Criminal Department for trial, since you are wronged, why don't you wait until the time of the trial of the Criminal Department to appeal, and shout wantonly in the palace to make everyone known? In the palace, you can't make loud noises, and if you do this, aren't you flouting the palace rules! β
These words are clearly said calmly and naturally, but in the words, they reveal the courage and majesty of the emperor.
Jin Su bowed and saluted, and then told Emperor Ji Wu that he had found that the bedding was wrong, and said that because he was forcibly dragged out, there was no way to continue to prove his innocence to the Queen Mother.
After hearing this, Emperor Ji Wu nodded thoughtfully, and it seemed that he still didn't fully believe what she said.
"I have already sent someone to invite the Queen Mother, and the merits will be revealed soon. Is there anything else you want to tell me before that? β
"No, the courtiers believe that the emperor is wise and martial, and his eyes are like torches, and he will definitely return the courtiers to an innocent body!" Jin Su said steadily.
After a while, the Queen Mother also entered the main hall with Poria Cocos, Imperial Physician Wang and other people.
When the Queen Mother's gaze swept to Jinsu, her sharp eyes seemed to be about to be eaten alive.
Emperor Ji Wu did not step down from the dragon chair, turned his head sideways and whispered to Qi Tian, "Hurry up and sit on the Queen Mother!" β
The Queen Mother was not in a hurry to sit down, but walked to Emperor Ji Wu and said with concern, "Emperor, why haven't you seen you for two days, your face is so ugly?" But did you have a cough again? β
"Ahem," Emperor Ji Wu too, covering his mouth and coughing a few more times as he spoke.
The Queen Mother hurriedly walked around to Emperor Ji Wu's side, beckoned Qi Tian, "Go, go and change a cup of hot tea", and then busily smoothed Emperor Ji Wu's back.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Emperor Ji Wu didn't seem to be able to catch his breath, and coughed several times in a row, from his neck to his face, he was flushed.
"Father, are you alright?" Feng Yao also leaned forward, frowning, and his face was full of sadness.
Qi Tian handed the hot tea to Feng Yao, and then Feng Yao personally served it to Emperor Ji Wu, and waited for him to drink two sips of hot tea, which improved.
"Imperial Physician Wang, what are you still doing there, the emperor is like this, don't you come and take a look?" The Queen Mother scolded.
"Yes, Wechen......"
Before Imperial Physician Wang got up, Emperor Ji Wu waved his hand, "That's it, ** is sick, let's talk about it later!" β
