Volume 1 Harem Tricks Chapter 44 Who Am I?
"Xuan Qiao's people are here." There was only one eunuch who came, and there was only this short sentence to say, Liuli was a little worried and wanted to hold Qiao Ruoli, but he was held down by the promise next to him, and signaled him not to act rashly.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine! With his ingenuity, he will be able to save the day. Promise whispered to Liuli after seeing the eunuch who announced the decree walking away.
"Hmm." Liuli wanted to say something, but she was afraid that she would become a crow's mouth, so she had a long mouth, and finally only said this sentence.
"Father-in-law, can you tell your majesty how he feels?" Qiao Ruoli followed the little eunuch who announced the decree all the way, and he was quiet all the time, but when it was almost there, Qiao Ruoli finally couldn't help but ask the little eunuch with rice paper. After all, he didn't show any mood on his face with this short sentence, and Qiao Ruoli couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.
"Cone, you and I are both working in this palace. You should know the master's intentions, and it is definitely not something that we slaves can understand and speculate. But you don't need to worry too much. It shouldn't be a big deal. "What the little eunuch said is true, after all, the joys, sorrows, and sorrows above are not static, who knows if anything has happened after he left?
"Thank you, little adult, this is a small gift, and I hope to smile." Although Qiao Ruoli didn't get any useful news, she still couldn't be bad when she should have given it, after all, she survived, and she had to continue to mix in this palace, so Qiao Ruoli took out a small piece of broken silver from his arms and handed it to the little eunuch.
"Hey, I don't dare to do this, if you can really be safe today, it's not too late to thank me again, let's go over quickly." I saw that the little eunuch said with a straight face, he was not moved by the little money Qiao Ruoli gave, in fact, although Qiao Ruoli gave broken silver, it was not a lot for this little eunuch, so Qiao Ruoli also understood that this person was definitely not a greedy person, so he gave up.
After a while, Qiao Ruoli also arrived at that palatial place, and the person sitting on the top seat was the person who could determine her life and death in one word-Emperor Changzhi.
Qiao Ruoli took a breath and began to kneel and salute: "Your Majesty, I wish my emperor long live, long live, long live." "The whole action is so smooth that you can't find fault with it.
"Flat." Emperor Changzhi sat on it, looking at Qiao Ruoli's calm face, and actually had some appreciation, after all, many people under his command who entered the court and became officials would have some fear when they saw him, but this girl didn't have it at all.
"Thank you, Lord Long." After Qiao Ruoli heard this, she silently breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, because as soon as this sentence came out, she knew that she was at most a capital crime, and a living crime could not be escaped. But it doesn't matter if you live or not, as long as you can live.
"A few days ago, you made a big mistake because of your negligence. As a result, there was a fire in the warehouse of the Shangshi Bureau, and countless things were burned. This crime of dereliction of duty, do you admit it or not? Emperor Changzhi sat behind the table and asked in a deep voice, although the other ministers below still wanted to eat two bites of the novel food made by Qiao Ruoli, but they didn't dare, so they could only put down their chopsticks one after another.
"Yes." After Qiao Ruoli finished speaking, he put his forehead on the ground, Song Qingxian saw that Qiao Ruoli had only been away for two days, and his body was a lot more slender, and he wanted to stand up and say a few words, but it was only a momentary thought, and then he sat back in his position safely, and he didn't move again.
However, Song Qingming suddenly stood up and said: "Father, the minister has also heard about this matter, I heard that after the Qiao Nei people found out about the fire, they rushed into the fire to save those cherished ingredients regardless of their own safety, so the sons and daughters felt that they should also ask their father to forgive her this time for the sake of Qiao Neiren's active rescue." ”
"Ming'er!" Queen Shu Yaqi couldn't help but be shocked when she saw Song Qingming get up to intercede for Qiao Ruoli, because her child was already frail and sickly, and if she was implicated because of this, then she would lose more than she gained.
"Ming'er is trying to intercede for her?" Emperor Changzhi smiled and appeased Shu Yaqi, and asked Song Qingming.
"Yes and no." Song Qingming replied.
"Oh? Let's hear it. Emperor Changzhi looked at this child who looked most like himself and said with a rare smile.
"Yes, it is because this man of Cone once saved the life of his son, and the father and son once taught the son that he should repay those who are kind to him. No, it's because in Erchen's opinion, the fault of the Qiao people is actually the fault of everyone in the Shang Shi Bureau. Song Qingming looked fearless, which made Emperor Changzhi happier the more he looked at it.
In fact, for Song Qingming, a child, Emperor Changzhi has always had a little more love in his heart. This is not only because Song Qingming looks most similar to him, but also because Song Qingming is frail and sickly.
It's just that over the years, Queen Shu Yaqi has protected his son too much. As a result, Song Qingming did not have the slightest manly spirit. On the contrary, he always looked nervous and scared, and it was also for this reason that Song Qingming was sick more and more often, and Shu Yaqi's protection of him became more and more prosperous, as if it was like a vicious circle.
So it's been a long time. Emperor Changzhi didn't like this son so much, and at the same time, he didn't fall in love so much. But today, Song Qingming suddenly stood up and pleaded for Qiao Ruoli in the audience, but Emperor Changzhi saw a little bit of what he looked like when he was young. When Emperor Changzhi was young, he was definitely heroic and unparalleled. Not only dare to fight the tigers in the jungle, but also dare to enter the enemy camp and behead the general!
"Ming'er knows that the Entu report is very good, but where did the fault of everyone in the Shangshi Bureau come from?" Emperor Changzhi asked with a smile.
The Master said. The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. In this case, Erchen believes that any problem in the Shangshi Bureau is actually related to the people of the overall situation. If it is said that the Qiao Nei people did not take care of it properly, there were too many things in the house that could cause a fire. So why didn't the people of the Shangshi Bureau tell the story in advance?
Second, according to what the sons asked. There were no combustible materials in the entire storehouse, and even the utensils that carried the food were replaced by the Chornes with ceramics or iron. So, how did this fire start?
According to Erchen, it is mostly because of the wooden structure of this storehouse. This curtain caught fire, causing the wooden beams to also burn down, if so, it is related to the disrepair, the Shang Shi Bureau did not find someone to report the matter in advance, so in the eyes of Erchen, this mistake should be committed by everyone in the Shang Shi Bureau. Song Qingming explained with a blank look.
"Hahahahahaha, Lin Xiang, this is the good student you taught." Emperor Changzhi suddenly laughed and said, but in Lin Xiang's opinion, he was not laughing, but had a hint of blame, so he quickly knelt down.
It's just that Emperor Changzhi walked down, personally helped Lin Xiang up, and said: "Ziqian, what are you doing, I still want to thank you, Ming'er has been pampered because of her frail health all these years, but she has only been studying with you for a few months, and she already has the demeanor of a big husband, which is not easy!" ”
"It's all the concubines, it's the concubines who didn't teach Ming'er well." When Empress Shu Yaqi heard Emperor Changzhi's words, she quickly knelt down and opened her mouth to admit her mistake, but Emperor Changzhi waved his hand.
"Queen, you are not at fault, everyone has the heart of a son, I know! It's just that you also have to know that as my child, you should go through more ups and downs. After Emperor Changzhi finished saying this, he lowered his head and gently touched Song Qingming's head, and Empress Shu Yaqi couldn't help but have some tears in her eyes when she saw this scene.
"Hmph, then according to what the Six Princes mean, this matter is just like this?" Tang Mingruo came out and spoke.
"Okay, I know that the fire at the Shangshi Bureau has burned a lot of your supplements, but aren't most of your things in your private vault? Don't worry about it, let people see jokes, and think that I can't afford to raise a concubine in Dayue Kingdom. Emperor Changzhi spoke.
It was precisely because Emperor Changzhi was in a very good mood that in the end, Qiao Ruoli did not receive any punishment, but Emperor Changzhi also promised that if the Shangshi Bureau did a good job on this errand, then a certain reward would be given in the future, and the Shangshi Bureau was quite surprised when they heard the news.
It's just that Qiao Ruoli suddenly fainted in the cheers of everyone, "Ruoli, Ruoli, what's wrong with you?" Ruri asked worriedly.
But the only thing that answered him was Qiao Ruoli's whisper: "Father, father!" Mother, Mother! What about me? I am! Grandpa, Grandpa! I'm your daughter."
"Aunt Xiran, what's wrong with her?" Liuli asked Xiang Xiran.
"You children, what's the matter, one or two are all sick, she should be fine now, she just said nonsense should be caused by fever." Xiran said with a sigh.
"Ah Li should have had a very hard time at home, none of us who entered the palace at a young age did not want to be home, but Ah Li never mentioned her family, and now it seems that she should have suffered a lot of injuries, so she will not mention it." The bell also dragged his weak body over to visit Qiao Ruoli.
"It doesn't matter, she has so many good friends of ours, she's going to do well." Promise looked at Qiao Ruo's palm-sized little face and said.
"Go back! If you fall ill, but things can't be delayed, the envoys of the West Night Kingdom will enter the palace in a few days, and there are things to be busy inside and outside the palace, I have enough people here, rest assured that I can take care of the two of them. Xi Ran saw that it was not early, so he hurried back with Liuli and Promise, and the two of them saw that they couldn't help much, so they nodded and went back.
