Chapter Ninety-Three: The Crime of Colluding with Western Xia
Ji Ruhuan was lying on the bed, blushing and thinking about the picture of drinking medicine and eating porridge just now, and didn't understand why Nine Emperor Uncle was so good to her?
Could it be that Uncle Nine Emperor thought he was his niece and daughter, so he took such care of him?
But it's not right, this majesty is more than one prince and princess, they don't even know the existence of this Nine Emperor Uncle now, why is the Nine Emperor Uncle so good to her?
And every time she appears when she is in the most danger, what is the purpose of saving her from fire and water?
She was really curious about the reason, but she couldn't figure it out.
The injury on her back ached faintly, but Ji Ruhuan closed her eyes but couldn't fall asleep, so she simply opened her eyes and looked at the person sitting by the window.
Tilting his head to look at the Nine Emperor Uncles who were sitting on the edge of the bed reading a book, Ji Ruhuan whispered, "That, where are we now?"
Nine Emperor Uncle looked up at Ji Ruhuan who was lying on the bed, and replied, "Take care of your injuries." ”
Obviously not going to tell himself where he was, Ji Ruhuan pouted and continued to speak, "Then can you inform my father and tell him that I'm okay." ”
The Nine Emperor Uncle, who had already put his eyes back on the book in his hand, let out a soft "um", and then there was no movement.
"Did you send someone to follow me, and why did you show up and save me every time I was in danger? ”
"Are you really the emperor's younger brother, why do you enter the palace and pretend to be an assassin?"
The person by the window continued to look at the book in his hand as if he hadn't heard.
Ji Ruhuan, who couldn't get an answer, turned her head to the other side angrily and began to worry about her father.
There are assassins in the palace, and the emperor and his father are afraid that they already know, will my father fall out with the queen mother because of himself? I don't know what the situation is now.
Just thinking that maybe the medicine he drank had played a role, Ji Ruhuan gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.
At this time, the person by the window had taken his eyes off the book and was looking at the person lying on the bed with complicated eyes.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, Dugu Chiyan frowned slightly, put down the book in his hand and went out quietly.
Looking at the summer solstice waiting at the door, Dugu Chiyan lowered his voice and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xia Zhi Shi Li opened his mouth and responded, "Master, the whereabouts of the assassin and Miss Ji are being searched everywhere outside, let's find a way to quietly send Miss Ji back." ”
Dugu Chiyan frowned slightly, "Do you have eyebrows for you to investigate?"
Xia Zhi responded, "The Queen Mother suddenly wanted to kill Miss Ji, she should have been prodded by the eldest princess, and her subordinates guessed that it might be because of Miss Ji's marriage contract with the little son of the Wu family." ”
Afraid of the people in the house, Dugu Chiyan said as he left the door of the house, "Isn't the marriage contract already dissolved?"
Xia Zhi followed behind Dugu Chiyan and said, "The little son of the Wu family was not happy when he came back, arguing that the non-Ji girl would not marry, and he was seriously ill, but the Wu family didn't seem to want to marry the Ji family, especially the Queen Mother." ”
Dugu Chiyan pursed his lips and responded, "It seems that the Queen Mother should also know her life experience." ”
Xia Zhi said worriedly, "Master, we can't get involved in these things." ”
Dugu Chiyan paused and responded, "I have my own measure, continue to investigate, why did the eldest princess provoke the queen mother to kill her." ”
Xia Zhi was a little reluctant to respond, turned to leave, and Dugu Chiyan looked at the direction of Xia Zhi's departure, thoughtful.
At this time, the court was arguing because of the disappearance of the assassin and the county lord of Fengyang.
"Your Majesty, the collusion of the county lord of Fengyang with the Western Xia army has been seen by someone with his own eyes, and I ask Your Majesty to investigate it clearly, and must not let the thieves who colluded with the traitor go unpunished. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the sudden disappearance of the county lord of Fengyang may be the work of the Western Xia who was ambushed in Kyoto. ”
General Ji pointed at the two of them angrily, "Nonsense, if it weren't for the fact that my son burned the grain and grass of the Western Xia warship regardless of his own danger, and even almost died in the West Sea for this matter, where would the Western Xia easily retreat, you actually dare to slander my son for colluding with the Western Xia, it's just bloody." ”
The emperor sitting on the dragon chair had a gloomy face, looked at the two people of the Yu family and the Wu family below, and asked in a cold voice, "Bring the person I saw with my own eyes, I want to see what he saw with his own eyes! By the way, he also called Wu Yuexuan, it was he who took the county lord of Fengyang to the north, and he must know about the collusion of the county lord of Fengyang with Western Xia." “
Wu Yueming hurriedly stood up and said, "This, Your Majesty, after Yue Xuan and the Fengyang County Lord arrived in Hengshan, they parted ways, and they will definitely not know about the collusion of the Fengyang County Lord with Western Xia." ”
The emperor rebuked angrily, "Why, who do I want to see, and now I can't be the master, and I have to go through your permission to do it?"
Wu Yueming hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to plead guilty, "Your Majesty is angry, Weichen definitely didn't mean that." ”
The emperor snorted coldly, and did not pay attention to Wu Yueming, who was kneeling, but reprimanded loudly, "Where is Hu Kui?"
Yin Hukui of Jingzhao Mansion raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, stood up from behind, stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "The minister is here." ”
The emperor looked coldly at the people kneeling below, and reprimanded, "You should explain to me well, this Kyoto has just cleaned up the Daliang assassins, why did the Western Xia assassins appear again?"
Yin Hukui of Jingzhao Mansion secretly sighed in his heart that he was unlucky, and his mind turned as he spoke, "Your Majesty, in the previous assassination of the county lord of Fengyang, the minister thoroughly investigated the people from outside Kyoto, and there is absolutely no possibility of the Western Xia assassins getting in, unless it is a small work that has been lurking in Kyoto for a long time, if he does not commit a crime, Weichen and Weichen will not be able to do anything." ”
The emperor picked up the previous piece and threw it at Nahu Kui, "There is nothing you can do?
The angry Jingzhao Mansion Yin broke out in a cold sweat, of course he heard that the emperor obviously had the heart to protect the county lord of Fengyang, his eyes flashed, and he kowtowed, "Weichen is incompetent, Your Majesty forgives the sin, but Weichen feels that the matter of the county lord of Fengyang is not like the assassin of Western Xia, but more like someone wants to borrow the hand of the assassin to put the county lord of Fengyang to death." ”
The emperor put away his anger and looked at Hu Kui below with a puzzled face, "Go on." ”
Hu Kui breathed a sigh of relief and opened his mouth to respond, "Although the county lord of Fengyang is the county lord, he will not let Da Liang and Xixia go out at the same time, after all, Da Liang and Xixia have spent so much effort, what good is it for them to assassinate a woman who has not yet reached the end of the line? ”
"Weichen thinks that it is not impossible to buy the dead man to pretend to be Da Liang or Xixia Xiaozuo, and put the charge on the heads of Xixia and Da Liang. ”
The emperor's face became more and more gloomy, and after Hu Kui finished speaking, he said loudly, "Where is Dali Siqing?"
"The minister is here. ”
"Re-investigate the assassination of the county lord of Fengyang, I want to see who dares to turn the clouds and rain under my nose. ”
"Wechen took the order. ”
At this time, the singing of the inner servant sounded outside, "Your Majesty, the witness and Wu Xiaogongzi brought it." ”
"Biography. ”
Looking at the group of officials kneeling below, the emperor finally relented and said, "Get up." ”
When everyone thanked them and returned to their respective positions, they saw the chamberlain leading a soldier wearing the iron armor of the Zhenbei Army and Wu Yuexuan, the little son of the Wu family, into the main hall.
The soldier walked beside Wu Xiaogongzi, his head down and trembling, he was a little scared at first glance, and his legs seemed to be shaking when he walked, which was in stark contrast to Wu Xiaogongzi who was calm and relaxed on the side.
Wu Yuexuan half-knelt and saluted, "Yue Xuan sees Your Majesty." ”
The soldier knelt down on his knees and said, "Little Wang, Wang San'er, see Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." ”
The emperor waved his hand at Wu Yuexuan, "You wait first." ”
Wu Yuexuan stood up, didn't stand beside his eldest brother, but stood beside General Ji, Wu Yueming looked at this situation, and sighed in his heart, today's matter, I am afraid that it will not be as my father wishes, but will outweigh the losses.
