The old monarch waved his hand disdainfully: "Even if you are a woman who can investigate the case, but this is a major matter related to the society of the country, how can you be allowed to play!" ”

As he spoke, he closed his eyes tiredly, and put one hand against his brow: "You all stand down, I want to be alone and quiet." ”

Xu Guifei was a little anxious, and just wanted to open her mouth to ask the monarch to leave her, but Chu Qingruo quietly pulled her sleeves on the side.

She glared at Chu Qingruo angrily, and then had no choice but to retreat stupidly.

Back in the room, Xu Guifei's face was suddenly covered with a layer of frost, and she slapped the table and said angrily: "Good, you trust you so much, you dare to frame me." ”

Chu Qingruo knelt on the ground: "Niangniang is angry, the slave maid did not frame Niangniang, but the slave maid also helped Niangniang!" ”

Xu Guifei was furious: "You dare to say clever words, come on, give me this cheap maid to pull down and kill with a cane!" ”

Chu Qingruo: "Niangniang, please finish the words of the slave and maid, if the maid still thinks that the slave and maid should die, it will not be too late to kill me with a cane!" ”

Xu Guifei took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Okay, I'll give you a chance, if you can't tell the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

Chu Qingruo smiled: "That's nature. Niangniang, what kind of person do you think today's monarch is? ”

Xu Guifei: "Naturally, he is a wise and martial monarch, what are you asking for?" ”

"Is that as a man?" Chu Qingruo asked again.

Xu Guifei was stunned: "This ......"

Although she is the West Palace, how can the royal husband and wife compare with ordinary people.

In ordinary people's homes, husbands and wives face each other day and night, and they are inseparable. But the royal husband and wife, she can be her husband, her king, and her god, but she can't treat him as her own man. I can't see each other a few times a month, even if I sleep on the same bed, I have to observe what I say, and I always think about what I can say and what I can't say.

If Chu Qing asked her other questions, maybe she would be able to answer them, but she asked this question anyway......

She couldn't answer.

Chu Qingruo also knew that she would definitely not be able to answer, so he didn't wait for her to answer, so he continued: "Niangniang, as a man, you have also seen today that the monarch is a person who misses the old love, and as the monarch, maybe he has forgotten this point himself." And you just reminded him today! ”

"So what? Didn't you see the king lashing out today? ”

Xu Guifei said angrily.

This just shows that Niangniang has poked the sore spot of the monarch. Mother, there are some wounds, and it will never be good to keep covering them. Today, Niangniang unveiled it, and the monarch was angry at the moment, but he must have been blue-eyed when he came back to his senses! ”

Xu Guifei's face showed hesitation: "Will it?" ”

Chu Qingruo's face was full of confidence: "Yes!" ”

After a while, the eunuch came in and accompanied him with a smiling face: "Niangniang, the monarch is invited." ”

Xu Guifei looked at Chu Qingruo in surprise and stood up busily.

But the eunuch said, "Come with you!" ”

"Me?"

"The monarch asked you to go and listen to the seal together!"

Chu Qingruo knew in his heart that this matter was half done!

However, there was a trace of displeasure on Xu Guifei's face.

The two of them followed one after the other, and returned to the garden with the eunuch.

In the pavilion, the old monarch's face seemed to be much better, and he beckoned to Concubine Xu and asked her to sit beside him.

Then, he looked at Chu Qingruo, who was kneeling on the ground with his head down: "Your minion's tone is not small, okay, since you say so, then I will give you a chance!" ”

As he spoke, he gestured to the chief eunuch on the side: "Tomorrow, I will take her to Dali Temple, and I will say that I have sent them to assist them in investigating the prince's case." ”

The chief eunuch hesitated: "Monarch, she is a woman......"

The old monarch glared sideways, but his words were a little profound: "What? Da Yan has a female prime minister, do I have to shoot a woman to investigate the case, do you still have any doubts about this minion? ”

The chief eunuch shrunk his neck: "The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid obey the order." ”

Chu Qingruo was shocked in his heart, and quietly looked up at the old monarch, only to see him pick up a glass of wine, glance at her lightly, and then raise his head and drink it.

There seemed to be something hidden in that look, but it was too fast, and Chu Qingruo couldn't realize it for a while.

On the second day, when Chu Qingruo came to the Dali Temple of Sangyun Kingdom, all the people who came and went in the Dali Temple looked at her with strange eyes.

A civil official wearing a green official uniform with a white and round face stood on the steps, looked at her with inquiring eyes, and asked, "Father-in-law, who is this ......?" ”

The chief eunuch stepped forward: "This is the inquisitor sent by the monarch to supervise the trial of the prince's case," after a pause, he turned to Chu Qingruo and asked in a low voice: "Auntie's surname?" ”

"Qingqing, call me Qingqing."

The chief eunuch nodded with a smile, and then said to the official, "This is Aunt Qing. Aunt Qing, this is Lord Li. ”

Chu Qingruo stepped forward and saluted, and Lord Li returned the salute.

Chief Eunuch: "Since the two of you have known each other now, then our family will go back." ”

"Father-in-law, let's go!" After Lord Li sent off the chief eunuch, he asked Chu Qingruo, "I don't know where Aunt Qing wants to start?" ”

Chu Qingruo's most important experience in his heart was Song Xiuzhu's safety: "Can I see the prince first?" ”

Master Li immediately personally guided her way, and the two came all the way to the prison.

On the way, seeing Chu Qingruo's worried look, he couldn't help but say: "Auntie, don't worry, Your Highness is the crown prince after all, although you are in the prison, but the officials believe that no one in the prison will dare to snub Your Highness." ”

Chu Qingruo smiled: "What Lord Li said is that I only have some things to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first." ”

While talking, the two came to the prison where Song Xiuzhu was held.

"Open the cell door!"

Taking advantage of the fact that Lord Li asked the cell boss to open the door, Chu Qingruo glanced at the prison.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Song Xiuzhu was lying on the haystack at the moment and pretending to sleep, and in the past few days, the secret person gradually increased the dose of the reed, and he slowly began to show symptoms after being poisoned by the refine.

When he heard someone coming from outside the cell door, he immediately lay down on the haystack and pretended to be asleep.

However, when Chu Qingruo's voice sounded, he was a little surprised in his heart, so he turned around faintly pretending to be weak.

After turning around, although she saw Chu Qingruo dressed as a palace maid, she also understood eight or nine points in her heart, but she didn't dare to go up to recognize her, for fear of calling the wrong name and ruining her plan.

After the prison door opened, Chu Qingruo rushed in as soon as possible, squeezing his eyes at Song Xiuzhu with his back to Lord Li, and pretending to be sad and said, "Your Highness, you have suffered, even if Aunt Qing fights for this life, she will definitely clear up her grievances for Your Highness." ”

Song Xiuzhu understood, "Aunt Qing, Aunt Qing, lonely ...... Solitary...... Great, nothing! ”

But he said it was okay, but the man shook twice.

Chu Qingruo pretended to be shocked and held him, he took the opportunity to quickly write a word in his palm: "Poison." ”

Chu Qingruo was shocked in his heart, but his face did not show a single bit, and he turned his face and asked Lord Li with anger on his face: "Didn't Lord Li say that the prince will never be fine in the heavenly prison?" Why is the prince sick, you don't know? What kind of heart do you have! ”

With such a big hat buttoned down, Rao is Lord Li can't bear it.

Lord Li immediately changed his face and scolded the guards behind him sharply: "How do you take care of the prince?" You don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sick and you don't know about it, so don't you come up to report it? ”

The guard nodded resignedly: "Please forgive me, please forgive me." ”

"So what are you doing here? Why don't you go and ask for a doctor! ”

"Yes, yes, the villain will go immediately."

Chu Qingruo stood up: "Stop!" ”

Lord Li and the guards were stunned.

"What else does my aunt command?"

The guard stepped back and asked with a smile.

Chu Qingruo pointed to the haystack on the ground: "The dignified prince of Sangyun Kingdom, you just let him sleep on this?" Can the prince not get sick? ”

"This ...... This is already the best and cleanest old recipe! ”

The guard said aggrievedly, and at the same time asked Lord Li for help.

Chu Qingruo directly pointed at him: "You don't have to look at Lord Li. Hum! Presumably you saw that the prince was down, and one or two of them were slack! ”

As he spoke, he went to the outside of the prison.

Master Li was taken aback and hurriedly stopped her: "Where is my aunt going?" ”

Chu Qingruo flicked his sleeves: "I'll go and report this matter to the monarch!" ”

When Lord Li and the guards heard this, they waved to her again and again: "Please also ask my aunt to be tolerant!" ”

Song Xiuzhu took the opportunity to play a round: "Aunt Qing, forget it, it's like this in prison, don't embarrass them." ”

Master Li wiped the sweat from his head: "Yes, yes! ”

Chu Qingruo didn't relent: "But ......"

Song Xiuzhu said with a smile: "You all stand down, let me say a few words alone with Aunt Qing." ”

Lord Li and the guards retreated in fear.

Chu Qing was not at ease, so he walked to the door of the prison and looked out. Seeing them honestly standing in the distance and waiting, he walked back with confidence and lowered his voice and said, "Xiuzhu, someone has already started poisoning you?" ”

Song Xiuzhu said with a smile: "Such a little poison, Qingruo doesn't have to worry about me." ”

Chu Qingruo sighed: "I'm not worried about poisoning, but I'm worried about the people in the secret, poisoning can't work, what if I send a killer?" You don't know martial arts. ”

Song Xiuzhu pulled his sleeves calmly: "Poisoned?" How could it not be? I'll make them successful. ”

Chu Qingruo's eyes widened: "You mean to say ......" After saying half of the words, he thought for a while: "It's okay, you also take this opportunity to go back to the East Palace, Uncle Xu and Party A have already pretended to be guards and infiltrated the East Palace, as long as you go back to the East Palace, before the matter is clear, at least they will protect you well." ”

The two talked for a while, and Song Xiuzhu suddenly remembered something: "Qingruo, Qin Gong has appeared again!" ”

"What? How is this possible? Didn't the medicine boy die in the fire that year? ”

"That man was unrecognizable back then, and we all regarded him as the one who stole my reed back then, but at that time, it was a civil strife in the Great Flame, and no one carefully examined his body, so I suspect that he is not dead at all!"

Song Xiuzhu said with great certainty: "Moreover, it is very likely that it is in Sangyun Kingdom!" ”
