"Is that you?" Under the green jade face, there is a trace of sadness, which can be said to be pitiful for me.

"At the palace ball, the queen summoned me to the palace to dance." Rong Xun tried to pull out a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her fingers brushed the railing of the bridge, today, she still met him here.

"It's late, the Ninth Prince may be entangled in affairs and can't come, Miss Rong Xun should wait tomorrow." As the best girl in the capital, it would not be surprising that she would appear here Ji Yunxiao at all, she was just an accident, she was still waiting here at such a late hour. Emperor Jiushu, how can you be treated like this by the Yi people.

"I know." She smiled and looked back, "I heard the words of the two palace maids just now. ”

Ji Yun smiled startled, turned his head to look at her, "Then what is Miss Rong Xun going to do?" ”

"It's not what I'm going to do, it's you."

"Me?"

"I'm a woman, and my words don't matter. You are different, you are a member of the Nine Princes' Mansion, the Nine Princes are your masters, and it is your duty to protect your masters. She stared into her eyes without blinking.

Ji Yunxiao looked a little embarrassed, and flickered to avoid it. "Miss Rong Xun said and laughed, Yun Xiao is just a minion, and her words don't have much weight."

"No, you have." She nodded firmly, her eyes lit up.

"What does Miss Rong mean?"

"I will go back and tell my father all this, tomorrow morning after the court he will secretly play to the emperor, after the emperor sees, you and I will come forward, the palace maids who serve at the night banquet tonight are recorded in the roster, it is not difficult to find Ah Yuan and Ruyi, the two palace maids, and then the two of them will stand up to clear the suspicion for the nine princes." She said with her eyebrows fluttering, her eyes full of confidence.

Step by step, there is no mistake at all, and there is no retreat that Ji Yunxiao can take.

Ji Yun was stunned! The queen smiled......

She seemed to understand a little bit why Di Jiushu was fascinated by her.

…………

Emperor Jiushu did not return overnight, and he was summoned by the emperor for questioning, and what he said was ugly, that is, he was placed under house arrest in disguise.

Ji Yunxiao sat in the courtyard all night and looked at the bright sky.

At this time, it is time for the early dynasty to end.

She rubbed her cold hands, and her face was a little unnaturally pale after not sleeping all night.

Ji Yun smiled and poured a cup of tea that had been cooled down early, and turned it in his hand.

Her eyes were heavy, and she had tea in her hand, but she didn't take a sip.

She's waiting for someone......

Not long after, the maid in the house hurriedly came over and called, "Ye Gongzi, the father-in-law in the palace is here to spread the word." ”

With a pause in her hand, a few drops of tea spilled out without warning, and she flicked her sleeve: "Hmm." ”

All the way over, my father-in-law was served with tea in the front hall, and when he saw someone coming to straighten out his clothes, "Our family is sent to the Holy Lord, come and take you into the palace for questioning." ”

"Minions command!"

"Let's go, then."

As the father-in-law arrived all the way to the palace gate, the carriage of the Rong Mansion had already stopped there.

Through the curtain, Ji Yunxiao couldn't help but take a few more looks. I saw a man come out of the carriage.

It's Rong Xun!

"The courtiers are rumored to be in the Qiankun Palace, if the father-in-law stops by the way, please ask the father-in-law to lead the way for the courtiers." Today, she seems to have been carefully dressed, the goose yellow water sleeve skirt perfectly sets off her beautiful figure, and a pale yellow lotus ingot is depicted between her eyebrows, which also adds a lot of luster to her complexion, and the whole person is a lot fresher and refined!

"Don't bother, don't bother, our family is also ordered to take people to the Qiankun Palace." Rong Xun is the future crown princess candidate determined by the emperor and the queen's mother, and that is the future queen! Even if he has two feet, he doesn't dare to slack off!

Rong Xun walked in front, his father-in-law led the way, Ji Yunxiao followed, and there were several palace maids behind.

When they arrived at the Qiankun Palace, the emperor and the queen were in a high position, next to the queen was Xu Guifei, and on the left sat down in turn was His Royal Highness the Prince, the second prince Emperor Yanyue, the fourth prince Emperor Ru, the ninth prince and the ninth emperor, and the ten princes who were only ten years old and the emperor poured songs.

The military department Shangshu Rong Shen stood in the center.

The atmosphere is dusty, and the cold is extreme.

At this moment, someone came to report, "Your Majesty, someone brought it!" ”

As soon as the emperor raised his hand, his face did not change, "Bring it in!" ”

The father-in-law hurriedly brought the person up.

"Slave Yeyun smiles, meet the emperor and queen!"

"Courtiers Rong Xun, meet the emperor and queen!"

The two knelt and leaned over.

After the prince saw Rong Xun himself, his face was full of surprise, and his eyes never left.

Ji Yunxiao secretly observed the surroundings.

The emperor on the throne has a serious expression, and there is a layer of domineering in the upper and lower parts of his body!

The queen sitting next to him was extremely noble, but there was a trace of sadness on her face, as if she was uneasy about the theft of the Shuangfeng Chaohuang Cup.

The prince was happy, and the princes next to him, Ji Yunxiao, didn't know each other very well, and they only glanced at it in a hurry, but their eyes fell on Di Jiushu but they were a little surprised.

I saw that his body was slightly off, the whole person leaned on the chair, one hand leaned on the armrest, the palm of his hand dragged his chin, and the other hand held an empty teacup, as if he was studying the patterns on it, and the whole person looked scattered slowly, like an outsider.

Didn't you mean you were under house arrest? Looking at it this way, it is clearly very leisurely, where is there still a little bit of house arrest!

"Well, get up." The emperor glanced at the queen and gave her a look. The queen took a sip of tea and began to ask.

"Today, the secretary of the military department secretly sent a message to the emperor, saying that the central bank thief last night was a messenger who came and went. Yeyun smiled, this palace asked you, is it true at this time? ”

"The slave entered the palace with the wooden butler last night, and waited in the pavilion next to the lotus pond for a while, and overheard the conversation between the two palace maids, and the matter was broken in the words!"

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this, and even Di Jiushu's hand that didn't put everything in his eyes paused in mid-air, and his eyes glanced at Ji Yunxiao.

"Rong Xun, this palace asks you, did you also hear a similar conversation that night?"

"Back to Niangniang's words, the courtier got lost in the palace last night, and just walked to the lotus pond bridge to rest, but I didn't expect a sound behind the rockery. The courtiers also knew that they should avoid suspicion, but when the two palace maids inadvertently mentioned the night banquet, the courtiers couldn't help but listen to a few more words, they didn't expect to hear such shocking news! When Rong Xun spoke, he secretly glanced at Emperor Jiushu's side, but found that the latter was not at all absent-minded, let alone a little grateful for what he had done!

"Okay, this palace asks you, what are the names of those two palace maids?"

"The courtiers listened to them call Ah Yuan and Ruyi."

The queen frowned, grabbed the handrail, and asked the emperor, "Your Majesty? ”

"You can call the shots in the harem."

With the emperor's permission, the queen immediately ordered: "Pass on Ah Yuan Ruyi's two palace maids!" ”

With an order, the two palace maids were quickly brought up.

"The maidservant Ah Yuan has seen the emperor and the queen!"

"The maidservant girl has spoken to the emperor and the queen!"

The two palace maids knelt on the ground in fear, and the seven souls and six spirits were frightened, and it seemed that they were a little clear about what was about to happen.

"Among you, if you saw it last night, you all said it word for word to the palace!"

The smaller one was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground and replied: "Back to Niangniang's words, the slave maid went to the Changyan Palace on time last night to add lamp oil as usual, and when she passed through the front hall, she saw a messenger with a panicked face, and the slave maid was curious for a while, so she went over to take a look. As a result, I saw that the messenger took out a cup from his sleeve, and the slave maid looked very much like the queen's double phoenix cup, and was curious whether it was given to the messenger by the mother, but when I turned around, I heard about the theft of the mother's cup, and I was so scared that I ran to my sister Ruyi to explain it! ”

"The messenger steals, ridiculous!" The crown prince laughed and glared at Emperor Jiushu, "This prince sees, it is simply the ninth prince who neglected his duties and let the palace be mixed with thieves!" ”

"Brother Nine Kings has always been loyal to his duties, so he didn't steal fun!" A small figure stood up to speak for Di Jiushu.

"Heh, if it weren't for dereliction of duty, why would there be one theft after another in the palace before and after the worship festival, could it be a thief?!" The crown prince glanced at Xu Guifei.

Xu Guifei naturally understood what he said, so she had to sigh secretly.

"Brother Nine Kings was only fully responsible for the safety of the palace yesterday, from yesterday to today, only the Shuangfeng Chaohuang Cup has been lost, is there a second thing?" Among all the princes, they all drank tea and watched the good show, but this little kid kept talking for Emperor Jiushu.

Ji Yun couldn't help but laugh funny, an arrogant character like Emperor Jiushu would not take the prince's words in his eyes at all, but there was such a little devil who was not afraid of the prince and kept defending himself.

With a cold personality like his, there is actually a little ghost head close?!

However, that statement does explain the facts, the theft of the herb was three days ago, but Emperor Jiushu only took up his duties yesterday, so even if the thief entered the palace, it had nothing to do with him!

However, being brushed off by a little kid, the prince couldn't hold back his face, and turned his eyes to the queen for help.

In order to break the deadlock and turn the topic back to business, the queen slapped the table: "Little. You are so bold in slandering the envoys of the island countries, you are so bold! ”

Ah Yuan's little palace maid trembled, and was so frightened that the whole person fell to the ground, and kowtowed again and again: "The slave doesn't dare!" What the slave maid said just now is true, please let the emperor and queen mother know it! ”

"Please take a look!" The palace maid who summoned Ruyi was also trembling and begging the queen for mercy.

"Discerning? Are you going to let this palace make fun of the national face of the Yeyang country?! "Even if that thief is really one of the messengers, she won't let the other party lose face for a cup at this worship festival, right?!

The serious point of the trouble is the big thing of the sword duel between the two countries!

Which is more important, she still knows how to weigh it!

But if she just ignores it, when she sends things out in vain, she is unwilling in the bottom of her heart!

At the right time, the second prince put down the teacup and said loudly: "What the prince just said is right, this time the ninth brother is solely responsible for the affairs, and the loss of things is also because the ninth brother is negligent in his duties, and the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped." What's more, the ninth brother has always been brave enough to skip others, and with just a double phoenix cup, Erchen believes that the ninth brother will be able to hold it back for the queen mother in two days. ”
