Chapter 118: Guilty plea
Before the elder brother of "Six ......" shouted out of Xiao Mannong's mouth, Guan Qiannan choked back what she wanted to say with cold and piercing eyes.
Today's series of events have made Guan Qiannan aware of the clues, and he can't understand Xiao Mannong's personality very well. Seeing that she just avoided the word Dongchang, there must be something greasy in it.
So he didn't care what Xiao Mannong thought, and directly asked Ade and the dark guards to send him back to the palace to recuperate.
At first, she still cried and refused to leave, and after eating a closed door at Guan Qiannan's place, she had to comply with his wishes and leave with everyone.
As soon as Xiao Mannong walked on his front foot, the sky was cloudy and gloomy, as if there was a posture of mountain rain coming and the wind was full of buildings.
"What are you going to do?"
A good outing actually involved this series of mysteries, and it is difficult for anyone to feel at ease. Only then did Luo Xueshen understand what the worry in Guan Qiannan's mouth was.
Even if they temporarily retire from officialdom and do not compete with others for fame and fortune, there will still be a pair of invisible hands that will lead them into this endless dark whirlpool.
Guan Qiannan patted her hand to show comfort, "Someone must have been involved in the princess's poisoning, otherwise it wouldn't be so coincidental." ”
"You mean someone deliberately ......"
Before the words continued, Guan Qiannan's face had already made her guess a rough idea.
Just as the two of them were thinking about how to deal with the emperor's questioning, there was a loud rumbling sound outside, and the dark blue sky was instantly pulled out of a big hole, and a downpour of rain followed.
"Daddy, bride......"
A flying silver-white flash suddenly illuminated the entire courtyard, and Luo Xue looked at the shout, only to see the little girl running towards them crying and screaming barefoot.
Her jet-black hair was scattered behind her, and the rain poured down her little head, and the strands of hair stuck to her face, looking particularly embarrassed.
Luo Xue's heart tightened, and she quickly jumped out of the door and hugged her into her arms, "What's going on?" Ran out without shoes? ”
When the little girl heard this, she only cried, and she couldn't say a word when she sobbed.
Hu Xu strode forward with an umbrella and touched her head with some pity, "This girl said she was scared and wanted to come to you two, she ran out by herself while I was going to get the umbrella." ”
The little girl snorted and choked up, "Bride, if I sleep with you tonight, don't leave me half a step." I...... I'm really scared. ”
Luo Xue frowned and stroked her cheek, and sighed slightly, "It's me who didn't take care of you and let you be so frightened, Su Su rest assured, I will look at you well in the future, and I won't let you be left alone, so that those bad guys have a chance." ”
On this night, the rain was pouring outside the window, and the wind was blowing.
Luo Xue hugged the little girl and coaxed her to sleep, her hands as a barrier to protect her ears, so that she could feel at ease.
"Good work." Guan Qiannan took off his clothes and went to bed with Luo Xueshen's support.
"It's okay, it's just that when I think of Guan Yilang, I get angry, he refuses to let go of even a child, it's really in vain."
Guan Qiannan deliberately lowered his voice and comforted him softly, "I won't let this happen again in the future, this time I didn't protect the two of you." ”
In the dark night, the eyes of the two were shining, their feelings flowed tactfully, and each other's intentions were already clear.
His broad palm wrapped her hand, "Tomorrow I will invite myself into the palace and ask the emperor for guilt, you and Hu Xu will go back with Su Su first, don't act rashly, wait for me to come back." ”
"Into the palace?" Luo Xue Shen couldn't care about being shy at the moment, she clasped his hand and looked worried, "I'll go with you, after all, the princess's poisoning has nothing to do with me, since she dares to say in public that I poisoned her, it must be this in front of the emperor." ”
Guan Qiannan shook his head, "Now that your father's matter has not been investigated clearly, if you get involved in this matter again, it will not be beneficial to the Luo family and General Luo, you must obey my arrangement, and don't be willful." ”
"But ......" Luo Xueshen wanted to say something more, but Guan Qiannan stretched out his hand to seal his lips, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." ”
As soon as the words fell, a faint fragrance enveloped her whole person, and this reassuring power from Guan Qiannan made her slowly close her eyes.
This man is her dependence.
Early the next morning, Guan Qiannan asked Ade to pack up briefly, and then entered the palace in a carriage.
The news of the princess's poisoning last night has somehow spread throughout the palace, and many people who came to visit and the imperial doctor in the palace gathered outside the palace to block this lengthy palace road.
Without a solution to this matter, it will be difficult to convince the public.
Inside the Golden Luang Palace
Xiao Ting'an, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon pattern brocade court dress, was sitting on the dragon chair, touching his head with both hands in a contemplative manner, and immediately got up to greet Guan Qiannan when he saw him coming, without the slightest emperor frame, "Yunzhi, you are here." ”
Guan Qiannan still adhered to the way of being a minister, and only then did he respond after saluting respectfully, "The emperor forgives the sin, the minister came today for the princess's poisoning, this is the minister's fault, and the minister is willing to take responsibility." ”
Xiao Ting'an sighed, a little helpless, "I can't blame you for this, since you got married, your thick temperament has changed greatly, which not only gives me a headache as an imperial brother, but also makes you Guanfu restless." You didn't care about her ignorance, how can I blame you for this, and besides, the person who poisoned has not yet been investigated, and I can't easily make a conclusion. Although she tried to blame the Sixth Lady for it, as far as I could see, she should not be able to do such a thing. You tell me? ”
Guan Qiannan bowed slightly, and arched his hand: "Thank you for the emperor's trust, since the real culprit is not yet known, the minister has a suggestion, this matter can be handed over to Dongchang to do, and it will definitely be investigated." ”
As he spoke, he raised his eyes lightly and looked at the emperor's expression carefully.
"East Factory?" Xiao Ting'an was obviously a little stunned, and after thinking for a while, he rejected the request for other reasons.
This result was also expected by Guan Qiannan for a long time.
The power of Dongchang is monstrous, if it is reactivated, it will definitely weaken the imperial power, and it will also bring some inexplicable troubles, Xiao Ting'an finally firmly grasped the imperial power in his own hands, and naturally did not want the eunuchs to make trouble.
Guan Qiannan saw him hesitantly, smiled clearly, and said in a brisk tone, "The minister is just making an assumption, and the emperor doesn't have to worry about it." As for the princess's affairs, the minister already knows something about it, and knows who is the initiator behind it, so he only asks the emperor to send guards to go out of the palace with me to arrest people. ”
Xiao Ting'an was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily and patted Guan Qiannan on the shoulder, "I just said that Yunzhi is quite smart, where is the Shangdong Factory used to investigate the case." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, but they had their own thoughts in their hearts.
At the same time, Luo Xueshen and his party had already arrived at the Guan Mansion, but as soon as they entered the door, they were stopped by the housekeeper Liu Quan.
