Chapter 63: Who's in Your Favor?

framing the royal family, its crime is no different from rebellion, when the door is full of people, and the nine clans are connected.

An Jue looked at the book, his mind was blank for a moment, he didn't expect anything wrong with this thousand taels of silver tickets.

Did someone drop the bag halfway?

The people who searched in the medicine hall were all his henchmen, and after getting the booklet, he didn't fake it to others, just now he personally presented it to Chu Lingzhao from the palace people, how could someone come to transfer the booklet in such a short time?

Could it be that the silver ticket had been exchanged before they searched it?

An Jue looked at Su Li with sharp eyes, Su Li came to the medicine hall before him, maybe she changed the silver ticket, and her performance in the military intelligence department just now was just her acting to lure herself into the bait!

The more An Jue thought about it, the more reasonable she felt, her body was still in pain, and her reason collapsed and lost little by little.

"Your Majesty, this thief is extremely cunning, and Wei Chen was careless for a while, so he asked her to take advantage of the loophole and exchange it for a silver ticket, and ask Your Majesty for forgiveness!" An Jue took the initiative to admit his mistake, Chu Lingzhao didn't speak, his eyes were far and deep.

This matter made such a big fuss in front of the emperor, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military looked at it with so many pairs of eyes, it was not that An Jue could fool it with a sentence of 'carelessness'.

An Jue naturally didn't want to steal chickens and rice, so he quickly presented new evidence: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's investigation, this thief once went to the Sifang Dart Bureau to ask the dart master to escort the dart, and gave a deposit of fifty taels, and the ticket number on the deposit is the same as the ticket number on the pawnshop ticket stub record!" It can be seen that ......"

"Ann-sama!"

Su Li opened her mouth to interrupt An Jue, and she knelt beside An Jue, her face was calm and calm, not like she was being sued by An Jue, but like a bait, which attracted An Jue to bite her mouth, only to find that she was pierced by a sharp barb.

"The fifty taels of silver tickets are indeed what I gave to Dr. Yue, but it is not the stolen silver that An Da said in his mouth, but a little thank you gift from Dr. Yue for helping my second sister adjust her body."

Su Li admitted frankly that the explanation was reasonable, although she didn't know how the silver ticket of 1,000 taels could be exchanged, but seeing An Jue's surprised appearance, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

An Jue was going to be mad, he originally thought that he had all the human and material evidence, but he didn't expect that these evidences would be untenable, and Su Li could overturn them in a few words.

He gritted his teeth and roared at Su Li: "If Miss Su is really innocent, you might as well tell me in front of Your Majesty, where did you go from the 1,000 taels pawned in the pawnshop that day, and where did this Doctor Yue get 1,000 taels from?" ”

After the words were shouted, everyone's eyes were focused on Su Li, waiting for her to give an explanation.

Su Li straightened her back, her heart tightened a little, she didn't know where the thousand taels went, and she didn't know where the thousand taels came from now, in front of everyone's eyes, she couldn't go to Chu Huai'an, hoping to get a little hint.

The longer the silence began, the sharper and sharper the inquiring gaze became, like countless knives trying to cut open her to see how many secrets were hidden beneath the skin.

Cold sweat soaked from her forehead, Su Li leaned over and kowtowed.

"Back to Your Majesty, the 1,000 taels from the pawn of the people's girls are for ......" border soldiers and the people of Limin!

"Mother!"

The immature and soft children's voice interrupted Su Li's words, and under the attention of everyone, a little doll wearing a grass-green brocade robe and pink carved jade ran into the hall with small short legs, and behind him, followed by a slender, elegant and arrogant man, the man's face was indifferent to the world, it was Gu Yuanfeng.

Su Zhan ran to Su Li's side, his gaze pausing on Yue Yan.

Yue Yan and Su Li accompany Su Zhan the most at the border pass, he doesn't like to get sick, but he jumps up and down with a group of rough old men all day long, always stumbling and getting injured, it is all Yue Yan who takes care of him, and now he sees Yue Yan lying on the ground covered in blood, and the impact on him must be not small.

Su Li now had no time to think about how Gu Yuanfeng would bring Su Zhan to the court, and was worried that Su Zhan would show her stuffing, but the next moment Xiao Baozi screamed and threw herself into her arms: "Mother, there is so much blood, it's so scary!" ”

“……”

Su Li was shocked by Su Zhan's sudden acting skills, but she didn't expect this little guy to be timid, and he didn't blush or pant when he acted.

"Wechen knock to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

The front was full of Su Li and An Jue, and Gu Yuanfeng knelt down a little later and saluted.

came late, he was not in a hurry to admit his mistakes, and his words and deeds were calm.

Su Zhan raised his head from Su Li's arms, thought thoughtfully, ran out of Su Li's arms, walked to Gu Yuanfeng's side and knelt down, and saluted Chu Lingzhao with his movements: "Su ...... Su Zhan, meet Your Majesty! ”

His back is straight, with a childish milk voice, his little face is raised in Shangshu Mansion with white and tender meat, and with a pair of big black eyes that flicker, he is extremely cute, and instantly captured the hearts of many old ministers who are looking forward to their grandson.

Originally, there was a solemnity in the court, but because of his joining, there was inexplicably a little more warmth.

"Who is this little doll?"

Lu Xiao was the first to ask, he fought on the battlefield all his life, with countless enemies, after unloading his armor and returning to the field, his only son guarded the border pass, not by his side, seeing such a lively and cute little doll, he always couldn't help but want to get close.

It's just that Lu Guogong has a lot of murderous energy, and ordinary children will be scared to cry by him, and the ministers are thinking about what to do after Su Zhan is scared and crying for a while, but they see Su Zhan looking at Lu Xiao curiously for a while, grinning and revealing two tiger teeth and replying: "I am my mother's son!" ”

Nonsense, you are not your mother's son, whose son can you be?

Everyone was amused by such children's words, Lu Xiao stroked his beard slowly, his eyes turned and turned between Su Li and Su Zhan, and he rarely smiled, but a touch of deep thought flashed quickly in his eyes.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the court was disturbed by a little doll, An Jue opened his mouth to break this warmth: "Master Gu, what do you want to do when you are late, and you bring a child of unknown origin here?" ”

With this question, the smiles on everyone's faces gradually dissipated.

Yes, at this time, the serious case of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is still being tried, if he is convicted, no matter how cute this child is, he will be beheaded with Su Li to show the public.

Thinking of this, everyone was a little embarrassed, but An Jue's heart was happy.

He brought up the topic just now, pressing step by step: "Miss Su, please explain, where is the 1,000 taels of silver ticket now?" ”

"Mother, did you steal this uncle's money?" Su Zhan looked puzzled, and after being glared at fiercely by An Jue, he hid behind Gu Yuanfeng, muttering dissatisfiedly: "It's so fierce!" My father said that a man who can only murder women is not a man at all! ”

Su Zhan is still young, and his words made everyone laugh, An Jue wanted to be angry, but he didn't dare to do anything to him in front of everyone's eyes, so he could only endure this breath.

Su Zhan was still restless, he hid behind Gu Yuanfeng, and took out a big purse from his arms: "Mother, let's return the money to my uncle, he is so fierce, my father said before leaving, although we are poor, we can't do stealing." ”

Su Zhan's eyes were red as he spoke, his mouth was deflated, tears of bean size were squeezed out of the corners of his eyes, and the words he said became crying: "Dad left early, only our orphans and widows are left to depend on each other, I know that my mother was kicked out of the house by my grandfather is very sad, my mother stole this money, it is all for my good, so that I can have no worries about food and clothing, and I can marry a virtuous daughter-in-law in the future, woo woo woo woo ......"

Everyone: "......"

, how old do you guess the kid? Is it a sperm? How can you say anything?

Su Zhan cried very sadly, and after a while, he choked and choked, and his little shoulders shrugged one after another, seeing that Su Li was distressed, and he reached out to take the purse, An Jue was one step faster than Su Li, but when his fingertips were about to touch the purse, Su Zhan took the purse back.

An Jue threw himself into the air and almost fell.

A five- or six-year-old child is faster than an adult?

Everyone was surprised, and saw Su Zhan bow his head and open his purse, take out the silver ticket rolled into a large roll, and looked at An Jue with tears in his eyes and said: "Uncle, the money my mother gave me and my New Year's money are here, you count, it's not right for my mother to steal your money, I'll give you back the money, don't you report to the official to arrest my mother, okay?" If something happens to my mother, I'll ...... I'm not alive anymore! ”

Speaking of this, Su Zhan cried sadly again, because he worked too hard, his little face was red from crying, and he was congested.

"The woman is soft, the mother is strong, Lord An, since those rewards were given to Miss Su, she pawned them for money for her son, it was her own business, why did Lord An hold her so much?"

Lu Xiao took the initiative to speak for Su Li, and now the whereabouts of the silver ticket are clear, An Jue's aggressiveness just now has become a bully of orphans and widows.

An Jue turned a deaf ear, and unfolded the roll of silver tickets without giving up to check it, and the ticket numbers in the lower left corner were all connected together, which was no different from the ticket stub that An Wuwu had shown him before.

"Impossible!"

An Jue roared angrily, his brain was messed up, he knew that this was a set, he was the one who put it down, as long as he put this set away, Su Li would be speechless, but now how did he fall into such a situation?

If these charges are not established, then who will end today's affairs?

An Jue sensed the crisis, but he had already gone far from this step and couldn't turn back.

He grabbed the silver ticket in his hand, tried to keep himself calm, and turned his head to look at Yue Yan: "This thousand taels is clear, even if the lower officials misunderstand Miss Su, what about this Doctor Yue?" Where did her thousand come from? ”

"Your Majesty, the one thousand taels were given by the lower officials!"

Gu Yuanfeng, who had been kneeling on the ground, spoke in a deep voice and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket and presented it.

The paper was very light and square, and it was square, and it was impossible to see what was written on it, but An Jue woke up suddenly as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her head.

He's been tricked!

Today, it is clear that someone first saw through his plan and An Wuwu's plan, and invited Jun into the urn with the plan, first let him convict Su Li and Yue Yan of treason above the court, and then resolve them one by one, and then put him in the army!

An Jue's back was cold, the impulsive anger just now faded, and the pain between his arms and legs invaded again.

Palace people. Presented the piece of paper to Chu Lingzhao, and when he opened it, it was a house deed resale book, the amount was no more or less, exactly one thousand taels.

"Your Majesty, Weichen read Ah Li's national theory at the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, and gained a new understanding of the bitter cold of the border pass.

Gu Yuanfeng said with guilt on his face, raised his head and said righteously: "Although Lord Zhao is still investigating whether this article is true, but the minister, as Ah Li's husband, is very clear about her character. ”

The words fell, and the court was silent.

A few days ago, everyone also wrote that the military supplies were too heavy, the treasury was emptied, and the troops were to be reduced, so the military intelligence department was set up, but now Gu Yuanfeng sold his old house and bought grain and grass for the border soldiers with his own strength.

What does this mean?

This shows that some people in the DPRK and China have doubts about disarmament.

If this matter is publicized, such an approach will be a disregard for the court and will not only chill the hearts of the officers and men in the army, but also make other countries laugh.

"This matter should not be publicized, Weichen originally wanted to take this opportunity to inquire about the situation of the border soldiers and then write to His Majesty, but he didn't expect to cause Master An to misunderstand and add to Dr. Yue's trouble."

Gu Yuanfeng said politely, a misunderstanding made a conclusion about today's matter, and it seemed that he still wanted to leave room for An Jue, which was in stark contrast to An Jue's aggressiveness, and it seemed to be frank and above board.

"Lord Gu didn't know this person before, she came from the border pass, and she entered Beijing with the caravan for just over a month, how did Lord Gu know that she was a credible person? If she is a delicate work of the Hu people......"

"Lord An, she can't be a meticulous work of the Hu people!"

A categorical voice interjected, An Jue frowned and turned around, a chubby old man ran in with a roar on his short legs, tripped over the threshold when he entered the hall, fell a dog gnawed mud, the medicine box he carried with him rolled down, and the medicinal herbs were spilled on the ground.

The person who came screamed in pain, couldn't care about getting up, got up and knelt in the hall with a snort: "Your Majesty, the minister will protect this woman with her life, she will never be a Hu person's meticulous work!" ”

ran too quickly, the official hat on his head became crooked, he didn't exercise on weekdays, and his body was fat, and the senior doctor was panting and couldn't speak, and he tried to straighten his hat to make himself look serious.

"Master Gao is not related to this woman, why is he so sure that he dares to use his life as a guarantee?"

Chu Lingzhao asked softly, putting aside the deed of resale, Gao Dahai tried to breathe steadily, and replied loudly: "This woman's name is Yue Yan, and she is the granddaughter of Wei Chen's mentor Yue Zhao!" ”

The words fell, and the pot exploded again in the court.

Everyone knows that Yue Zhao is a well-known miracle doctor, when the first emperor was there, Yue Zhao because of his excellent medical skills, he entered the Tai Hospital as the head of the hospital at a young age, and led everyone to compile a medical book, which is still widely circulated in Yuanzhao and other countries.

But this person is straightforward and fast-talking, and he can't get used to the open and secret battles in the officialdom, so he was ordered to follow the army as a military doctor, and it is the Zhenbei Army under the command of Lu Xiao, the current Duke of Lu Guo.

Yue Zhao's medical skills are extremely high, several times in the life and death of Lu Xiao rescued, later in a big war, the general of the Hu people was severely injured by Lu Xiao, life and death were in danger, the Hu people kidnapped Yue Zhao, in order to let Yue Zhao for their general to see a doctor, with the lives of the Yue family members threatened, Yue Zhaoning died.

The Hu people's meticulous work infiltrated the country of Yuanzhao, wiped out the Yue family, brought back the head, Yue Zhao was extremely sad and died by suicide.

This incident caused a great sensation at the time, and Lu Xiao also personally led his troops to kill the Hu people without leaving a piece of armor, and the Hu people were defeated and retreated, so he sent envoys to sue for peace and ceased war with Yuanzhao State.

At that time, everyone thought that the Yue family was all dead, but they didn't expect that there was an orphan girl alive.

Thinking of the past, Gao Dahai's eyes were rarely red, and there was irrepressible grief on his chubby old face: "The teacher has saved countless people in his life, and then ended up like this, the minister hates those Hu people in his heart, let alone his granddaughter?" ”

Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak, yes, with such a deep hatred of blood, I am afraid that they are eager to chop the Hu people piece by piece and eat meat, how can they collude with the Hu people to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?

"Since she is an orphan of a loyal martyr, why didn't Imperial Doctor Gao tell Your Majesty earlier and take her back to Beijing?"

An Jue was still asking questions, he knew that he had lost today, but he didn't want to give up like this.

"What the teacher pursues all his life is not to be trapped in the square inch of the hospital to treat people, but to travel all over the world, benevolence to the world, he failed to achieve his wish, Weichen hopes that his descendants can achieve it for him, so he concealed it without authorization, and did not report it, if His Majesty wants to ask for the crime, the minister is willing to be punished!"

Gao Dahai kowtowed after speaking.

He has always been tactful in the court, never speaking ill of people behind his back, and never standing up for others in front of others, but today he risked his life for Yue Yan, which shows how much he valued Yue Zhao's kindness back then.

Everyone never thought that things would come to this point after several reversals, they thought it was a case of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, but they didn't expect that in the end, the suspect became an orphan of a loyal martyr.

"Ahem......"

It was the limit of holding on until now, Yue Yan coughed and vomited blood, and his mind was no longer sober.

"The maiden begged His Majesty to let Imperial Physician Gao treat Dr. Yue's injuries first, she bled a lot, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on! If Your Majesty still has doubts about this case, you can ask again in the future! If she dies in the court, I am afraid that there will be no proof of death in the future! ”

Su Li begged loudly, when she arrived in Saibei, Yue Yan was already in the army, she originally thought that everyone in the army would have special respect for her because of her soft temperament, but now she knows that Yue Yan has such a bizarre background.

If something happened to Yue Yan today, Su Li was afraid that she would not be able to forgive herself in this life.

"Please let Imperial Doctor Gao diagnose and treat him first!"

Gu Yuanfeng was the first to echo Su Li's request, and when the words fell, Lu Xiao knelt down, and when he saw him kneeling, the other ministers hesitated for a moment and knelt down one after another: "Ministers, please let Imperial Doctor Gao diagnose and treat first!" ”

The sound is neat and loud, and the general trend is inevitable.

Chu Lingzhao took the opportunity to speak: "Quasi! The palace people waiting outside the door immediately came in and carried Yue Yan to the side hall to treat his injuries.

The person was carried away, but the hot blood in the place was not yet cold, and the half-humanoid silhouette could be vaguely seen in the sticky da, which was the masterpiece of the An family today.

"Lord An, Dr. Yue is just a weak woman who is powerless, it should be easy for the Military Intelligence Department to arrest her, how could Lord An seriously injure her so much?"

Su Li asked softly, obviously she was kneeling there, she was also a weak woman, and she had no offensive power, but it made people hear the meaning of settling accounts after the autumn.

Su Zhan was still kneeling behind Gu Yuanfeng, and when he heard this, he poked out his little head to help Su Li, clenching his little fist and being indignant: "That's it!" It's not ashamed to bully a weak woman! ”

After Su Zhan finished speaking, he wanted to make a grimace, but Gu Yuanfeng raised his hand and pressed it back behind him.

Although he is still young, this is in front of the emperor, and he should not be too presumptuous.

Su Li didn't mention this stubble, An Jue still forgot about it, he sneered and looked at Chu Huai'an, and said meaningfully: "Although this Doctor Yue is weak, the people around him are all strong in martial arts, and the people sent out by the lower officials are all injured when they come back." ”

"Oh? I don't know why the people sent by An Zhuwei showed their identities before taking people? An Zhuwei's people were only injured, but none of the four guards sent out by Ben Hou were spared, did An Zhuwei want to take people or kill people? ”

Chu Huai'an asked rhetorically with a smile, and he didn't want to hide his intention of sending someone to escort Yue Yan out of the city.

An Jue was speechless when asked, and suddenly became a little annoyed, maybe he should have directly ordered someone to bring the corpse back last night, anyway, if the person is dead, what crime to convict, he has the final say, not as passive as now.

"An Aiqing!"

Chu Lingzhao finally spoke, his voice had a hint of majesty, An Jue immediately bowed his head and knelt down, and the few people in the court who originally had a good relationship with him also listened attentively.

"This case is very implicated, from now on it will be taken over by Dali Temple, An Aiqing was seriously injured and orphaned by loyal martyrs, before the matter is clear, suspend the post of the head of the military intelligence department, and cooperate with Dali Temple to investigate the case at any time!"

"Your Majesty!" An Jue exclaimed, completely unexpectedly that it would be such a verdict: "Although there is a guarantee from Doctor Gao, the identity of this woman still needs to be verified, and the minister ......"

"Verify the matter, free Zhao Aiqing to do it!"

Chu Lingzhao interrupted An Jue, his tone was heavy, he was already a little displeased, An Jue opened his mouth, and the rest of the words could not be spoken.

At the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, Chu Lingzhao asked Dali Temple to interfere in the government affairs of the Military Intelligence Department, and only a few days later, An Jue's post was suspended, and the Military Intelligence Department was only established not long ago, and the matter of reducing troops has not yet been seen, but the Military Intelligence Department seems to be about to be served in a pot.

So why did he set up this department in the first place?

An Jue thought about it, and a bold thought suddenly popped up, making his spine cold.

"Is there anything else that Zhong Aiqing wants to play?"

Chu Lingzhao asked, raising his hand and rubbing his eyebrows, it seemed that the interrogation just now had consumed too much of his energy.

The ministers looked left and right, shook their heads, and Zhang De, the head of internal affairs, stepped forward with great insight and announced: "Retreat~ Dynasty!" ”

After the words fell, Baiguan turned around and walked out, Chu Huaian stepped forward and pulled Su Li up, his face was a little dark, because Su Li did not consult him at all because of Su Li's arbitrary behavior just now.

"Ah Li stays!"

Chu Lingzhao opened his mouth and did not let Chu Huaian stay.

Chu Huai'an grabbed Su Li's hand tightly, pursed his lips slightly, and Su Zhan was also curious to pull Su Li's clothes: "Mother, can I stay with you?" ”

Su Li shook her head and gave Su Zhan a look quietly, although Su Zhan was smart, he was still a child after all, and it was dangerous to stay in the palace for a moment longer.

"I'm tired of Lord Hou and Mr. Take Ah Zhan out of the palace."

Su Li said as she broke away from Chu Huai'an's hand, bowed, and walked to the side hall with the palace people waiting on the side.

Su Li originally thought that Chu Lingzhao would talk to her in the side hall, but she didn't expect that the palace people would take her all the way to the school on Chinese New Year's Eve.

There was no one in the school field today, Chu Lingzhao was still wearing the dragon robe of the previous dynasty, but he had taken the dragon crown and was riding a red and brown horse galloping in the wide school field.

That horse Xu had just been sent to the palace, and he had not yet been tamed, and he had a very strong temperament, and in the process of running, he was eager to throw off the person on horseback.

The animal tamer in the palace was trembling and frightened beside him, for fear that the young emperor would fall down and bump into it, and cure a big crime of destroying the door, but Su Li could see it clearly, Chu Lingzhao was very stable, no matter how the horse was thrown, he had been firmly grasping the reins, as if sitting under him was the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of Yuanzhao Kingdom, no matter how the undercurrent surged, he couldn't escape from the palm of his hand.

Half an hour passed, and the horse still didn't survive Chu Lingzhao after all, and was obediently tamed.

Chu Lingzhao rode it around twice, and fed it two more handfuls of forage before walking towards Su Li, and the palace people had great insight to send the ointment of the gauntlet.

In the end, it is a pampered emperor, just like that, Chu Lingzhao's palm has been worn out by the horse reins, and two strangulation marks oozing blood appeared.

"Will Ali be medicated?"

Talking and asking, this person has already sat down on the chair brought by the palace people, spreading his hands and waiting for the medicine.

Su Li took the tray and put it aside, first cleaned the wound with water, and then smeared the ointment and wrapped it in gauze.

Her hands are very steady, her eyes are focused on the wound, like a doctor with excellent medical skills, there is no distraction, Chu Lingzhao looked at her, remembered some old things, and said lightly: "When I was newly married to your eldest sister, she had not yet ascended the throne, and she was competing with the princes in the spring hunt, and when she came back with an injured hand, when she gave me medicine, her hands trembled badly, and her tears kept falling, Chu Chu was very pitiful." ”

Su Li tore open the gauze and tied a knot, finished the bandage, and covered the medicine bottle and responded: "The eldest sister has a gentle temperament, I have never seen such blood, so I am afraid." ”

"Listening to Ah Li's meaning, it seems to have seen blood?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the people have seen it."

She has seen the scene of corpses and rivers of blood on the battlefield; Hot blood gushes out of her body, and she has seen the scene of staining people's sights; She had even experienced the feeling of a cold weapon stabbing into the flesh and penetrating her chest, so this little injury was really nothing.

Su Li was already very honest in her answer, Chu Lingzhao looked at the gauze in his hand, his eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he no longer walked those twists and turns, and went straight to the point: "Do you know Lu Ji?" ”

"Acquaintance."

"It's also because you know the street seller?" Chu Lingzhao asked, with a relaxed banter in his words, as if he had already seen through the lies that Su Li had said before.

Su Li didn't answer immediately, she was a little hesitant now, she couldn't decide what Chu Lingzhao wanted to do, and she didn't know if she should tell everything that happened at the border.

Because of this silence, Chu Lingzhao lifted his eyes to look at her, and saw that her brows were tightly locked, like a little old lady, he raised his hand and curled his index finger and flicked it lightly on her forehead.

"Hmm!"

Su Li covered her forehead and looked at Chu Lingzhao for some reason, she looked like an ignorant girl, in the end she had half of the same blood relationship as Su Bangyue, and it could be vaguely seen that there were two points of resemblance, which reminded Chu Lingzhao of Su Bangyue who was flying in her clothes when she first met many years ago.

"Yesterday's painting, that white hosta, you deliberately painted it?"

“…… Be. ”

Su Li rubbed her eyebrows and replied, knowing that she couldn't escape Chu Lingzhao's eyes with this little trick.

The answer was as expected, Chu Lingzhao was not angry, but he was stunned for a moment, and asked unwillingly: "How do you know that hosta is special to me?" ”

"The folk girl also dared to guess, if it weren't for the special one, Your Majesty would definitely not look at the folk girl frequently at the palace banquet that day, and even personally asked about the origin of this hairpin."

Su Li didn't know what the hairpin really meant, but Chu Lingzhao asked that day, so she tentatively drew it in the picture of the peace of mother and son.

When she did this, Su Li just thought that she could make Chu Lingzhao have some suspicion of Su Wanyue, and she didn't think about what serious consequences it would cause.

"You're betting!" Chu Lingzhao saw through her intentions at a glance, Su Li didn't refute, and he was a little interested: "You're not afraid that if you make a mistake, I will kill you in a fit of anger?" ”

"If Your Majesty is angry, the people's daughter will be improvised, not to mention ......" Su Li paused, and made up the second half of the sentence under the urging of Chu Lingzhao's gaze: "Besides, Your Majesty is virtuous, and he will definitely not take off the head of the people's daughter because of such a trivial matter." ”

She sincerely patted her ass, and the smile on Chu Lingzhao's face gradually converged: "Dividing the feelings of the imperial concubine and disrupting the harem is also a trivial matter in Ah Li's eyes?" ”

Chu Lingzhao asked faintly, there was a big difference in attitude before and after, Su Li didn't adapt for a while, and hurriedly knelt down: "Back to Your Majesty, the people don't dare!" ”

She said she didn't dare, but she didn't do anything less than she shouldn't do.

The one that was in the court just now, others couldn't see it, but Chu Lingzhao understood that this was a good show that Chu Huai'an and Gu Yuanfeng had joined forces to play, and only a reckless character like An Jue would fall for the trick, if it was replaced by An Wuwu, Su Li and Yue Yan would probably die today!

"Don't dare? I see you're so bold! ”

Chu Lingzhao scolded half-truths and half-truths, and reached out to help Su Li up.

When she came, the palace people had already removed the shackles around her neck, but she was still wrapped in the robe that Chu Huai'an gave her, Chu Lingzhao grabbed the corner of her clothes and twisted it, and asked half-jokingly: "Does Ah Li think the Hou Mansion is better or the palace?" ”

His question was abrupt and inexplicable, and Su Li was so shocked that he wanted to kneel down again, but Chu Lingzhao raised his hand to block it: "In my harem, there are all beauties who are fat and thin, Ah Li knows who I like the most?" ”

“……”

After returning to Beijing, Chu Liu first asked Su Li to help Chu Huai'an choose a woman, and now the emperor asked her this kind of question, and after she left Beijing for five years, did she think about how to study women?

Su Li was speechless for a moment, and when she came back to her senses and saw that Chu Lingzhao was still waiting for her answer, the official politely replied: "The folk girl is dull and doesn't know the holy will!" ”

"I don't know?"

Chu Lingzhao let go of Su Li, looked up into the distance, and his gaze became distant.

"In the past five years, what does she want, whether it is in the harem or her mother's house, I have protected her and let her out of the limelight, after I ascended the throne, the throne has been vacant for two years, and now she is the first to conceive a dragon heir, my mind, is it so difficult to guess?"

This sentence is not like asking Su Li, but more like asking himself, and the 'she' in his mouth has no one else except Su Bangyue.

Su Li didn't expect that Chu Lingzhao would say such a thing to himself today, listening to the meaning of his words, it was not like the emperor recorded in the history books who used his favor for his concubines to clamp down on the court, but more like an ordinary man who loved a dream person.

If Chu Lingzhao really had a sincere heart for Su Bangyue, wouldn't Su Li touch his backlash by making these small moves to calculate Su Bangyue?

The more Su Li thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her brain was quickly thinking of how to deal with it, and a low question came from her ear unexpectedly: "Ah Li knows who your eldest sister liked before entering the palace?" ”

These words shocked Su Li even more than Yue Yan being arrested and An Jue taking out the physical evidence of one thousand taels in the court, and for a moment, Su Li's ears were buzzing, and she couldn't hear any other sounds.

Who Su Wanyue likes, how could Su Li not know?

But this person's name, even if she dies, she can't say it.

"Your Majesty is too worried, the eldest sister made a marriage contract with Your Majesty at the age of ten, and rarely goes out of the house to contact men, how can she like others?" Su Li suppressed the surging emotions in her chest and said as calmly as she could, she was actually very scared, afraid that Su Wanyue had said something to Chu Lingzhao, or that Chu Lingzhao had found out something by himself.

Chu Huai'an's feelings for Su Wanyue have always been very restrained, even if they were foiled by Su Li at the beginning, they would only hold hands at most.

The two have never done anything beyond the norm, but today, the identities and status of the two are here, and these old things have been turned out, which is the absurdity of the world!

Today is cloudy, there is no sun, it is already afternoon at this time, the wind is blowing, and there seem to be only two people in the huge school field, Su Li and Chu Lingzhao, the wind is wrapped in coolness, and the clothes of the two are blown to hunt.

Chu Lingzhao didn't speak, and he didn't know if he had listened to Su Li's words.

The wind was getting stronger, dust was raised on the ground, and some palace people had the courage to remind Chu Lingzhao to go back to the palace to rest, Chu Lingzhao didn't move, and suddenly looked at Su Li for a long time and asked: "Ah Li, do you know, why did I hire you as a concubine and not marry you five years ago?" ”

“……”

In the past five years, Chu Huai'an has been wandering around the flowers and has never married a wife, everyone thought at first that he was injured by Su Li's dismissal, and then there were gradually rumors that he had a hidden illness and could not be humane, and now that Su Li is back, Chu Huai'an took her with him with great fanfare, and even she didn't dislike having a child, everyone thought that he loved her miserably, and he was waiting for her to come back for the past five years.

But if he loved Su Li miserably, why did he just take Su Li as a concubine back then? To whom does he want to leave his wife?

These questions, if you don't want to, it's okay, once you think about it, you can't stand scrutiny anywhere.

"Your Majesty, the people's daughter is a concubine, and her innocence has been ruined back then, the Hou Ye did not dislike the people's daughter at that time, and the high-profile employment is already affectionate and righteous, and the people's daughter has no shame to face the world, let alone ask for the position of a wife."

Su Li did not answer the question positively, but only expressed her attitude.

The wind was blowing stronger and stronger, and the wind and dust were in the eyes, forcing Su Li to raise her hand and use her sleeves to block it.

"If he wants to give you the position of wife, no matter what others say, no matter how you refuse, he will definitely give it."

Chu Lingzhao was sure that his relationship with Chu Huai'an was much closer than that of other princes, and he still knew him very well on this point.

Chu Huai'an didn't give Su Li the position of wife back then, which means that he didn't care about her to that extent.

Even so, in the past five years, it is impossible for him to refuse to marry a wife for the sake of Su Li.

Speaking of which, Chu Lingzhao was suspicious that something was about to come out.

Blocking it with her sleeves, Su Li couldn't see Chu Lingzhao's current expression, but she knew that if Chu Lingzhao's suspicions were not dispelled today, Chu Huai'an's secrets that had been hidden for so many years would probably be exposed to the sun soon.

Thinking of this, Su Li gritted her teeth and knelt down: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the reason why Hou Ye did not give the position of the wife of the folk girl back then was because the folk girl was too close to Mr. before, and after the folk girl lost the festival, Mr. was particularly concerned about the folk girl, when the Hou Ye came to visit the folk girl in the house, he broke the intimate behavior of the folk girl and the gentleman, and the Hou Ye mistakenly thought that the folk girl was going to elope with the husband, and he was angry and hired the folk girl as a concubine!" ”

These words finally ruined Gu Yuanfeng's reputation, but fortunately, there are only two people here, Su Li and Chu Lingzhao, such a secret conversation, Chu Lingzhao will not find someone to verify, and naturally there will be no third person to know.

This explanation is reasonable, the time and events are all right, Chu Lingzhao nodded thoughtfully: "I see." ”

Between the words, she seemed to believe Su Li's statement, Su Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her body was still tense and did not dare to relax.

Just knelt like this for a while, the eunuch who was waiting in the distance looked over this side, and ran over after getting Chu Lingzhao's permission: "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Gao said that the person was saved, but his body is still very weak, and he will have to be raised in the palace for a few days before he can sober up and ask questions." ”

What this eunuch said must be Yue Yan, Su Li was worried in her heart, and wanted to go over to take a look, but she didn't dare to speak easily because of the sensitive topic just now.

As if he knew what she was thinking, Chu Lingzhao made an empathetic proposal: "If Ah Li is not at ease, you might as well accompany her in the palace for a few days, or catch up with your eldest sister." ”

"Folk girl, thank you, Your Majesty Longen!"

Su Li knelt down, she couldn't be more grateful to be able to stay in the palace to take care of Yue Yan.

Thank you, Chu Lingzhao didn't mean to chat anymore, and waved his hand to let the palace people take Su Li away.

When the others walked away, Zhang De leaned in front of Chu Lingzhao with a worried expression: "Your Majesty, this injury on your hand, do you want to let the old slave Xuanyi girl come to help you bandage it again?" ”

"Not necessarily." Chu Lingzhao refused, got up and walked towards the outside of the school field, and Zhang De followed behind him.

"Zhang De, how has Concubine Su been sleeping these days? Can the fetal image be stable? ”

"Steady, Niang Niang eats tonic medicinal food every day, and she wants to raise the dragon heir in her belly to be fat and fat!" Zhang De opened his mouth and replied.

He is an old man in front of the emperor, and he has also seen Chu Lingzhao and Su Wanyue have an awkward quarrel, and the two of them have also quarreled a few words in the past few days, and then Chu Lingzhao asked, so he took the opportunity to propose: "Your Majesty wants to go to the concubine's house tonight to sit?" ”

That night, Chu Lingzhao went to Su Bangyue's palace to sit for a while and then left, almost slapping Su Bangyue in the face.

When the words fell, Chu Lingzhao stopped and looked at the slender figure that came slowly from not far away.

His eyesight was excellent, and from such a distance, he could see that she was carrying a delicate food box in her hand, which must contain his favorite white fungus lotus seed soup.

"Zhang De, you say, if a handsome man always appears in front of a woman, and the man has no intention of the woman, will the woman like that man?"

“…… Old...... The old slave didn't know. ”

Zhang De replied with a stiff face, Chu Lingzhao had already squeezed out a gentle and calm smile on his face, stepped forward in three or two steps, and politely hugged his concubine.

Su Li just proved that Chu Huai'an had never coveted Su Wanyue, but she couldn't guarantee that Su Wanyue had never been tempted by Chu Huai'an!
