Chapter Seventy-Four: The Emperor Is Not Satisfied

"I didn't expect King Xu, who never cared about the princess's physical condition, that day I didn't know what was going on, and even said that the princess was not in good health and couldn't drink. I drank the cup of poisoned wine for her, and ...... the next day. Zhang Yanyan said and fell to the ground and cried.

"Where's that mandarin duck pot?" Ling Kun asked.

"That night, I quietly took the flask away and hid it in a cabinet in my room."

Ling Kun immediately ordered: "Chen Zhutou, take Zhang Yanyan back to King Xu's mansion and find the mandarin duck pot." ”

Chen Zhutou took Zhang Yanyan away, Ling Kun immediately ordered to retreat, and he rode a fast horse to rush home, he wanted to tell Zhao Mingyue the news of solving the case as soon as possible.

"It's broken, Mingyue, the case is solved." Ling Kun shouted at the door.

Zhang Mingyue ran out of the back room, looking excited and nervous. She is looking forward to solving the case, but she is afraid of solving it, because she is afraid that her brother will be involved in this case.

"Let's go, let's go inside." Ling Kun pulled Zhao Mingyue back into the house again.

"Who is it?" Zhao Mingyue clenched her fists tightly and asked nervously.

"Zhang Yanyan, King Xu's favorite concubine."

"What, impossible, how could she kill the second brother? Without the second brother, she is nothing. Zhao Mingyue questioned.

Zhang Yanyan was going to kill Princess Xu, but she poisoned the princess's wine, but who knew that King Xu suddenly offered to drink for the princess, so she was killed by mistake. Mingyue, think about it carefully, is there such a thing? ”

Zhao Mingyue patted her forehead and said: "Yes, there is such a thing, it was the sister-in-law who persuaded the second sister-in-law not to drink, and the second brother said that today's wine must be drunk, but he can replace it." Later, Zhang Yanyan kept shaking when she poured the wine, and I asked her, and she said that she was excited to follow us. ”

"Yes, that's right, I'll go back and give your sister-in-law a confession, and the case will be closed."

Zhao Mingyue was overjoyed and said I will go with you.

Returning to Kaifeng Mansion again, Chen Zhutou had already taken back the mandarin duck pot. Ling Kun held this delicate wine jug made of sterling silver and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see a single flaw.

Chen Chaoying stepped forward and pointed to the bottom of the pot and said, "My lord, there is a button here, press it to pour out another kind of wine." ”

Ling Kun took a closer look, only to find that there was indeed a button, which fit the bottom of the pot tightly, and those who didn't know couldn't see it at all.

Zhao Mingyue said: "Go and report to your father, he is probably about to break down." ”

"Mmmm, I only remember to report to you, and I forgot about the emperor."

Zhao Mingyue's face turned red and lowered her head. This guy dares to say anything, how embarrassing it is, if it weren't for the master book and the head catcher, see how the princess cleans you up.

Ling Kun asked the master bookkeeper to pack up the case file, and prepared to take it into the palace to face the saint, and at the same time ordered the release of the three princes' family on the spot.

Zhao Mingyue was overjoyed and said that she would personally pick up the third brother back, so she jumped and ran away.

Ling Kun went directly into Zhao Guangyi's bedroom, these days, the emperor was almost sick in bed, and Empress Li and the great eunuch Wang Jien were waiting for him.

Ling Kun knelt down and asked for peace: "Minister Ling Kun see my emperor, long live." ”

Zhao Guangyi was still lying on the bed, and asked weakly: "Ling Aiqing, how is the case investigated?" ”

"Your Majesty, the case has been solved."

"Broken?" Zhao Guangyi suddenly sat up, glared at him and asked, "Who?" Who got the poison? The air in the dormitory was instantly solemn and tense, and the emperor and queen held their breath.

"It's King Xu's favorite concubine Zhang Yanyan."

Zhao Guangyi exhaled a breath of turbid air and poured it softly on the pillow. At this moment, he was completely relaxed, for so many days, what he was most worried about was finally finding out that the murderer was his other son, but fortunately, God had eyes, and things did not develop to the worst level.

"Tell me, what's going on? Why did Zhang Yanyan poison King Xu? Zhao Guangyi asked in a trembling voice, mentioning the dead son, naturally he couldn't help but feel distressed.

Ling Kun reported in detail to the emperor that Zhang Yanyan intended to poison the princess with a mandarin duck pot but accidentally killed King Xu, and also reported a series of facts such as Zhang Yanyan's brothers and sisters flying in the capital, bullying men and women, repeatedly framing other princes, and building a mausoleum for their parents in violation of regulations, which is equivalent to the imperial mausoleum.

Zhao Guangyi, Empress Li and Wang Jien were terrified when they heard it, and scolded Zhang Yanyan for being vicious and despicable, and rebellious.

Zhao Guangyi patted the bed and said: "Yuan Xi is fortunate to be such a vicious, unrighteous and rebellious woman, who has framed her siblings and brothers many times, and she is simply innocent, and she has been hard for him in vain. Wang Jien passed the decree down, canceled the title of Prince Gongxiao, buried him with a first-class official etiquette, executed Zhang Yanyan's brother and sister Ling Chi, destroyed his family's mausoleum, and put the corpses of the people in the tomb into the wilderness. ”

Wang Jien trembled and agreed, he had never seen Zhao Guangyi so angry, and he would not let go of the dead.

"Ling Aiqing, you did a good job in this matter, you didn't disappoint me, tomorrow morning, I will reward you well, you go down first."

Ling Kun kowtowed and thanked him and withdrew from the palace.

Zhao Guangyi watched Ling Kun go out, and suddenly remembered one more thing: "Wang Jien, immediately draft a decree to restore the prince of Yuan Kanshou, and go to the court together tomorrow." As for Yuan Zuo, let him stay in Nangong for a while longer, if his condition does not improve, it will be easy to get into trouble when he comes out. ”

Out of the palace, Ling Kun felt relaxed. This matter was done quite successfully, not only rescued Zhao Mingyue, but also solved this shocking case, and it can be regarded as making a name for itself in the court.

When I returned to the door, I just happened to meet Zhao Mingyue who sent Zhao Yuankan back, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and their hearts were like electricity at the same time, warm and crispy.

"How is it, my father is quite satisfied with you, right?"

Ling Kun shook his head as he walked inside, "I shouldn't be satisfied." ”

"What? Dissatisfied? How so? Zhao Mingyue asked a little nervously.

"He didn't even say that he would marry his daughter to me, he must be not very satisfied." Ling Kun teased.

Zhao Mingyue was ashamed, her face was crimson, and she smashed it with a fist and scolded: "I want to be beautiful, I hate it, you hate it too much." ”

"Is it the kind that people never get tired of watching?" Ling Kun asked weakly.

Zhao Mingyue sneered, looking at him with disgust, with bright eyebrows and bright teeth, and all kinds of amorous. Ling Kun couldn't help but be stunned again, looking at Zhao Mingyue like a fool.

The two stood in the doorway and looked at each other, the atmosphere was ambiguous, their eyes were sticky, and the scene was outrageously sweet.

Two cold rays of light shot in from Mu Ran, blocking the fierce exchange of eyes between the two of them in the air, and the atmosphere suddenly became normal. I saw Xiao Ran standing in the courtyard with his hands crossed on his waist, pouting, his eyes full of envy, jealousy, grievances and tears.

Ling Kun was a little embarrassed, hurriedly coughed, picked up the topic just now, and said, "The emperor is indeed very satisfied, and said that he will reward me well tomorrow." ”

"Really? Then you can't ask for it. Zhao Mingyue said.

"Why, do I still expect to make a fortune on this?"

"Yes." Xiao Ran said dissatisfiedly: "Our Lingwei Hou Mansion has a big business, what do we eat if we don't get rich?" Do you raise it? ”
