Chapter 32: Pros and Cons (2nd Update)
Ling Hua asked Xu Zizhou to get into her carriage.
Xu Zizhou was stunned, and got into Ling Hua's carriage as he said.
After the two got into the car, Liuli also followed.
Ling's carriage is spacious and has everything you need, and there are tables, teapots, teacups, scrolls, chessboards and other things in the carriage.
After Ling Hua sat down, she reached out and touched the teapot, the water was still hot, she took out the teacup and poured a cup of tea for Xu Zizhou.
Xu Zizhou took it and thanked him softly.
Ling Hua poured another cup of tea for himself and Liuli, took a sip of the teacup, looked at Xu Zizhou and asked, "Does Xu Shaoyin want to sit in Jing Zhaoyin's position earlier?" ”
Xu Zizhou paused to drink tea and raised his eyes to look at Ling Hua.
Ling Hua put down the teacup, picked up the fan on the side, and shook it gently, "If you think, now that I have been assassinated, it is an opportunity." ”
Xu Zizhou slowly put down the teacup and corrected the color, "I want to hear it in detail." ”
Ling Hua smiled, "The group of people who assassinated me in Yanyunfang were people from the Black Thirteen Belt of the Green Forest, and the reason why he was able to enter Beijing quietly and appear in my Yanyunfang as a diner waiting for the opportunity to move, I guess it should be someone from the East Palace to help, and the five people who rushed out from the Drunken Immortal Tower to kill me are the dead soldiers raised by the Wen family in Youzhou." Now, Yanyunfang has run away from Black Thirteen, even if those nine people don't leave a living mouth, since I can recognize him, I can bite him to death. As for the one that Drunken Immortal Lou ran away, it doesn't matter much, the remaining four are detoxified, and I can also have a way to make the dead man confess to the Wen family. ”
Xu Zizhou was a little surprised, "The prince and the green forest are mixed, I am really not afraid of ruining my reputation!" ”
"He wants to kill me and then fast. Compared to ruining his reputation, he wanted to kill me even more. Ling Hua's tone was indifferent, "But since he didn't kill me today, then I will always bite off the fattest piece of meat from him." ”
She smiled, "This piece of meat is Jing Zhaoyin." ”
Xu Zizhou's eyebrows moved, "What do you need me to do?" ”
Ling Hua looked at him, "Naturally, the key is to still need you, but you don't need to do anything too difficult, you just need to keep an eye on Jing Zhaoyin, I will detoxify those four people, and then you release the news of interrogating the dead." If it was really done by the Wen family, the prince would definitely find a way to extinguish the mouths of those four people, if he wanted to move those four people, his hand would definitely reach into Jing Zhaoyin, you are His Majesty's person, he can't go your way, he will definitely try his best to buy Jing Zhaoyin, once Jing Zhaoyin helps him kill the mouths of those four people, it is a big mistake, you hold him This big mistake, the black gauze hat on his head will be lost, and you, as a matter of course, sit in the position of Jing Zhaoyin. ”
Xu Zizhou took a breath.
Ling Hua looked at him and smiled, and served him tea, "Twenty-year-old Jing Zhaoyin, you are the only one in Houliang." ”
Xu Zizhou clenched the teacup tightly and said in a restrained tone, "I can guarantee that nothing will happen to those four people under my care, even if the prince buys Lord Jing Zhaoyin, I can not let him stretch out his hand, as long as those four people confess to the Wen family, you can bite the Wen family, if according to what you said, let the prince buy Jing Zhaoyin and let him destroy the four people, you will not be able to bite the Wen family, and it will not be beneficial to you in the slightest." ”
"If you become Jing Zhaoyin, it will be the greatest benefit to me." Ling Hua's tone was calm, and his voice was faint, "Even if those four dead soldiers confess to the Wen family, Your Majesty will reprimand the Wen family at most, disgusted with it a little, for the sake of the prince, Your Majesty will also protect the Wen family." For the Wen family, it doesn't hurt or itch, and for me, Your Majesty will give me some compensation at most, because I'm fine. ”
"Today's banquet is injured by the little marquis." Xu Zizhou reminded, "Coupled with the banquet of the little marquis, Your Majesty will not deal with it as easily as you said, and the Queen Mother will not agree." ”
Ling Hua smiled, "The banquet light is affected by me, no matter which one you choose, your majesty will not give less to the banquet light." As you said, Your Majesty will not give it, and the Queen Mother will not do it. The dead man confessed to the Wen family, I bit the Wen family to death, although I may be able to bite off the arms and legs of the Wen family, and the vitality will be greatly damaged, but I can't bite to death, in fact, it is not of much use, as long as the crown princess is the Wen family for one day, the crown prince reigns for one day, and protects the Wen family for one day, His Majesty will not let the Wen family collapse. And just assassinate me, there are not too many articles to do, if you spend energy biting to the end, I actually can't get any benefit, it's better to let it go lightly and find a position for Jing Zhaoyin for you. ”
Xu Zizhou pursed his lips, slowly picked up the teacup, and lightly touched Ling Hua, who had held the teacup for a long time, "Okay, just follow what you said." ”
He was a smart man, and Ling Hua had already weighed the pros and cons and made the best decision. If Jing Zhao Yin really helps Donggong, then he will want this position.
As she said, the twenty-year-old Jing Zhaoyin is the only one in Houliang. If she gives this opportunity, he wants it.
The carriage came to the palace, and the two came to the imperial study together.
Gonggong Zhao walked out of it and bowed his hand to the two, "Your Majesty invites Miss Yin Ling to go in." ”
Xu Zizhou and Ling Hua entered the imperial study.
The emperor had obviously received the news, his face was not good, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the sky was blue and white, and there was an assassination on the most prosperous street, which was also a provocation to the authority of the Son of Heaven.
After the two saluted, the emperor waved his hand and his eyes fell on Ling Hua, "Are you hurt?" ”
Ling Hua shook his head, "The little marquis of Yan was slashed in order to save me, and he injured his arm, and I was forced to poison the thief and hurt him again." But I have an antidote, his poison has been cured, and now he is almost injured. ”
She sighed, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the minister won't be able to bring the little marquis into the palace to see you, he has to take care of his injuries." ”
The emperor nodded, "But did you ask for a doctor?" ”
"Please! The Imperial Physician should have gone to Houfu. ”
The Emperor raised an eyebrow, "Should?" You didn't go with you? ”
Ling Hua said seriously, "The minister gave him a simple bandage and fed him an antidote. Please Yongle Bofu Cheng Chu Gongzi with someone to send him back to the house, and the ministers will come to the palace to see His Majesty, and they will go to see him when they leave the palace later. ”
The emperor bowed his head and asked, "Who wants to kill you?" ”
Ling Hua said bluntly, "There are two groups of people, the Black Thirteen of the Green Forest brought nine people, all of whom were killed by my people, and the Black Thirteen ran away. He met with the minister, and threw the minister from the second floor of Yanyunfang, fortunately, the little marquis happened to come out of the drunken incense building to save the minister, otherwise the minister would not die or be injured, and the minister met the little marquis, but also the luck in misfortune, the little marquis is really the nobleman of the minister. ”
The emperor smiled, "How can the banquet be so coincidental?" ”
Ling Hua also smiled, "Yanyunfang and Zuixianglou face to face, the minister and the county lord of Rong'an had dinner in Yanyunfang, and the little marquis and a group of children drank in Zuixianlou, it was really a coincidence, when the minister had an accident, he happened to come out of Zuixianglou to ride away." ”
As for why Yan Qing was so coincidental at that time, of course, there was also an incident in the Drunken Immortal Building, Zhao Yanran and Wei Chenlan recommended a pillow to Yan Qing, Yan Qing threw away the wine glass and left, only then did she hit her and was thrown off the second floor, and if she counted it seriously, she seemed to be grateful to those two.
She didn't know about it, and I believe His Majesty already knew about it.
Sure enough, the emperor stopped asking, "What about the other group of people?" Do you know where it came from? ”
Ling Hua looked directly into the emperor's eyes, and said bluntly, "The minister guesses that it is the dead soldier of the Wen family in Youzhou." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Zizhou was startled first.
His heart was beating like a drum for a while, and he didn't understand how Ling Hua had broken it in advance. Is it good or bad to break it in front of His Majesty like this? Doubt without evidence, dare to say it in front of the Son of Heaven? Besides, it's not someone else, but the Wen family in Youzhou, the prince's family.
The emperor's face sank, and a pair of eyes instantly sharpened, staring at Ling Hua, "Are you sure?" ”
Ling Hua smiled, and his tone was gentle, "The minister is not sure, it's just a guess, the reason why the minister dares to say his guess in front of His Majesty is that the minister is in addition to the Wen family, I really can't imagine who can come to the capital to ask for the minister's life after the Black Thirteen made a move." ”
The emperor frowned, and his tone was heavy, "Without evidence, speculation can't be counted." ”
Ling Hua nodded, "The minister naturally knows, so the minister came into the palace to ask His Majesty to call the shots and thoroughly investigate the case, the four dead soldiers were poisoned by the ministers, the name of the poison is Soul No Return, this poison is difficult to solve, it needs to be solved for ten days and half a month, after the poison is solved, the minister has a way to make the dead man speak." However, during this period, the safety of the dead had to be guarded by reliable people. ”
Ling Hua paused, "If His Majesty's people are staring, the minister can rest assured." ”
If it was really as she guessed, it was the Wen family who did it to her, then the people in the East Palace would not be credible in the first place.
This is the reason why Ling Hua thought about it again and again before he spoke bluntly in front of the emperor. Only when the emperor personally sent his cronies to keep an eye on the case and investigate the case, the prince would be nervous in the East Palace, if he learned that she had detoxified those four people, let the dead man open his mouth, and confess to the Wen family, the prince would be even more unable to sit still, and he would be in a hurry, so he would stretch out his hand to Jing Zhaoyin.
And in front of him, there is a person of His Majesty, Jingzhao Yin Shaoyin Xu Zizhou. He is right in front of him, and His Majesty will naturally not be reluctant to seek the near and far.
