Chapter Eighty-Six: VIPs

Bai Jingli's confession was in triplicate, Zhao Ying kept one for himself, sent one to Yan Chongzhi, and one for spare, for fear that Emperor Zhaoning would want to see it.

The matter has barely come to an end, and the heart she has been hanging on has only fallen slightly, and she came out of the Dali Temple Mansion, and ordered someone to go back to the Yanwang Mansion to reply to Zhao Chengyan, and led the two girls into the palace.

Emperor Zhaoning didn't think that she would return to the palace at this hour.

After all, when the Sili Academy was first established, there were a lot of things to be busy outside, and she was a new official, so she probably felt rare and novel.

I heard that she entered the palace and went to Weiyang Palace to ask for a while, hurriedly sent Sun Shuyuan, drove back to Qingning Palace, and then asked Sun Fu to go to Weiyang Palace to find Zhao Ying in person.

The Queen Mother hasn't seen her for a long time, and what has happened in the palace these days has been heard and heard.

Especially after Liu was given death, she asked Emperor Zhaoning several times.

Although Emperor Zhaoning was reluctant to mention these in front of her, she finally figured out what had happened.

It's true that she feels sorry for the child, she has no mother at a young age, and the emperor has different thoughts about her, the little girl has been raised in the deep palace for 14 years, and I don't know how many people are staring at her.

can hold back until now, and only poison her can be regarded as those people who can bear it.

But as soon as Sun Fu appeared, the Queen Mother's face became ugly again.

Zhao Ying felt sad in her eyes, and found an excuse to simply leave, and didn't want to talk more with the Queen Mother.

It is almost dusk, and the afterglow of the sunset is gentle.

From the Yang Palace, Zhao Ying called Sun Fu.

Sun Fu followed behind her with his waist bent: "You say." ”

"Is Father okay these days?"

Sun Fu was slightly stunned, not understanding what she meant, and nodded and said at the same time.

The corners of Zhao Ying's lips rose: "How is Zhao Wan?" ”

"This ......" Sun Fu vaguely understood, vaguely past, "The second princess's residual poison has not been cleared, but there is no big problem, and Mrs. Jiang is also very good to the second princess." ”

They are all good, and they can still live a good life.

Zhao Ying's heart was cold, her smile froze, she didn't ask anything else, stepped on the sun, and walked in the direction of Qingning Palace.

Emperor Zhaoning had already ordered someone to prepare a table of Zhao Ying's favorite dishes, and set up a meal in the east of the Qingning Palace.

When she came, the last cup of fine powder bird's nest happened to be on the table, and Emperor Zhaoning always felt that he didn't sit with her and have a good meal for a few days, so he didn't want to ask someone to serve him.

Zhao Ying is also full of worries, presumably she has something to say before she enters the palace at this hour.

Sun Fu was the most eye-catching, and sent away the palace lady and the little inner eunuch who were waiting in the palace, and he also folded his hands to retreat.

Later, the palace gate will be under the spoon, out of the palace is very troublesome, layer by layer of handing signs, back and forth.

So Zhao Ying sat down across the round table: "Father, I will live in the palace tonight." ”

Emperor Zhaoning wished that she would move back to live early, and the people from the Ministry of Industry talked back and forth before, saying that many of the things she wanted were not the specifications for the layout of the Sili Yuan, and it was simply according to the prince's mansion in the interior of the house.

He had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask her much, and he really didn't have time to ask, just thinking that since it was what she wanted, he asked the Ministry of Engineering to do everything she wanted, and there was no need to ask again.

Sun Fu didn't understand anything when he heard this, and was about to go out: "The slave will send someone to tell the people of Shangyang Palace." ”

For the first time, Zhao Ying felt unfamiliar with this palace city.

In her previous life, she regarded the forbidden court as her home, and the place where there was the Queen Mother and Emperor Zhaoning was the most reassuring for her, and there was her most beloved brother here.

Not anymore.

When there was no one in the hall, it was clear and quiet, and Emperor Zhaoning called Yuan Yuan: "I see that you have lost weight for a while." ”

In fact, she can see it in the Taiji Hall every day, she has received an official position, and she can listen to the government in the palace in a grand manner.

She wasn't skinny at all.

Although there are a lot of things to worry about, there are people around her who can help, not to mention that she is familiar with this kind of thing for a long time, how can she really feel tired.

Eat and drink well in Yanwangfu every day, and she will go to Yunyi Building every three or five times to rub two meals, it is good that she has not gained weight.

Zhao Ying touched her little face with her backhand: "Uncle Huang said that I have grown meat recently, and my cousin and cousin also said that I am fatter than a few days ago, why does my father think I am thinner?" ”

"If you are not in front of your father, your father can't take care of you every day, you will feel that you are suffering outside and have not been taken care of, no matter how you look at you, you are emaciated."

He opened his mouth with a smile, and at the same time took a bamboo shoot with chopsticks and put it into the pure white porcelain peony butterfly in front of her: "The people from the Ministry of Industry said that you plan to use the courtyard after arranging the second courtyard of the Yongguo Mansion with the specifications of the prince, and you plan to use it as a place to rest?" ”

Zhao Ying generously admitted: "Originally, in addition to asking the Queen Mother to go back to the palace today, I wanted to go to see Che'er tomorrow, but I still have something to go back to my father." ”

Emperor Zhaoning's hand holding vegetables for her stiffened, fleeting, and the expression on her face did not change in the slightest: "Is there something difficult to do in Si Liyuan?" ”

Zhao Ying shook her head and said no: "I want to tell my father that I won't go back to the palace in the future, is it done?" ”

The person on the other side had a noticeable tightening grip on his hand.

Zhao Ying paid attention to his every move, and naturally took in all the movements.

Emperor Zhaoning concealed it very well, if he didn't know what he was in his bones, he just had that moment of confusion just now, and he really couldn't see his mood swings.

"It's so decent, why don't you say you won't go back to the palace?" Emperor Zhaoning raised his eyes to look at her, looking and scrutinizing more, "I said before that I would move to your imperial uncle's place, but I didn't tell my father, I just discussed it with your imperial grandmother, but you said that if you go out to relax, your father can't say anything." But you're still young, how can you not go back to the palace? ”

Where is she still young?

It's going to be a ceremony next year.,It stands to reason that from the end of last year, I can pick a candidate for her horse.。

entered the court again, with the official rank of the second grade, and was in charge of the Sili Academy.

It's just an excuse.

Zhao Ying turned a deaf ear: "I am now in charge of the Sili Academy, I just took over, I have to do everything myself, otherwise it will really make people say that I am a useless vase."

There are a lot of things outside, if I go back to the palace after I finish my errands every day, and then go out of the palace early in the morning, it will be troublesome to toss back and forth.

I learned a lot of things from Uncle Huang before, and I thought it would be good, but sooner or later I would have to move out of Uncle Huang's place.

Now that I have taken over the Sili Academy, I have chosen the former mansion of the Yongguo Mansion, which is large, and it will be very magnificent if it is renovated.

I can't open my teeth to build a mansion now, and it is not appropriate to prepare a princess's mansion for me, so I asked the people of the Ministry of Industry to arrange the house after the second entry into the hospital according to the prince's specifications, and I plan to live there for the time being, and it is also much more convenient to deal with official business. ”

Emperor Zhaoning only felt that his scalp was numb.

The little finch he had pampered for fourteen years suddenly grew up one day and wanted to spread his wings and fly.

Maybe she was unintentional, but it felt bad.

She wanted to run away from him, out of the palm of his hand.

Emperor Zhaoning rarely darkened his face in front of Zhao Ying: "You are a little child, what kind of system do you have to live outside by yourself?" I don't promise. ”

I know it's not that easy.

Zhao Ying didn't expect her to nod as soon as she opened her mouth, if she wanted to escape from Emperor Zhaoning's control, it was not a day's work, it had to be gradual.

There's got to be a process.

She's just here to pick a head today.

No matter how bad it is, the Queen Mother will help her escape from the palace.

Therefore, this stubble seemed to have been exposed in Emperor Zhaoning's refusal, although Zhao Ying was reluctant on his face and his eyes were full of loss, but after all, he did not continue the topic.

Emperor Zhaoning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and noticed that Fang Cai's tone was a little heavier, and his face eased slightly: "If you think you're busy for a while, you will still live with your imperial uncle, and after a while, you won't be so busy, and the errands below can be handed over, so you can move back to Shangyang Palace."

I heard that your uncle transferred Zhou Yan from Shuntian Mansion to you as a supervisor? ”

Zhao Ying muttered: "He is quite capable, and his uncle is very good at reading people." ”

Emperor Zhaoning tasted this words: "Zhou Yan is a very talented person, I can still remember most of his strategy back then, it is indeed brilliant, this is also his chance, it is good to spend the rest of his life in Shuntian Mansion."

If you think he is capable and useful, use him well, and if you use it well, he can be your right-hand man and share a lot of things for you. ”

Emperor Zhaoning is actually an out-and-out faint monarch, but Zhao Ying often thinks that in terms of knowing people and making good use of them, Emperor Zhaoning has done an excellent job.

Whether it is Shen Dianchen or Yan Chongzhi, even if it is a person like Jiang Chengde, how to use it, where should it be used, in fact, Emperor Zhaoning's heart is the same.

She almost blurted out why she hadn't promoted Zhou Yan for so many years.

When the words came to his lips, he took them back.

He can do whatever he likes, he doesn't promote Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan has the opportunity to be used by her, what is there to ask.

So she only followed Emperor Zhaoning's words and said: "He is indeed very useful, I don't know how many people I want to run to me to recommend myself two days ago, this time Bai Jingli disappeared, was found by the official mission of Dali Temple, and after bringing it back to Dali Temple, it was also a confession that Zhou Yan asked."

Seeing that he was a scholar, I thought that his stomach was sour, but I didn't expect it to be true. ”

Emperor Zhaoning raised his eyebrows: "I know about Bai Jingli's disappearance, Yan Qing has searched for him for so many days, how can he be the one Zhou Yan went to interrogate?" ”

Zhao Ying took a spoon and drank two mouthfuls of bird's nest soup, and after tasting it, she raised her little face and replied to him: "I detained Bai Jingli in Dali Temple and didn't let Yan Shangshu bring people back to the Criminal Department for interrogation." ”

"When the Sili Academy was not set up, Yan Qing was still talking to Chengyan in the court, why didn't you even sell his face?"

Zhao Ying didn't panic at all when she heard this.

He wasn't tempting, he was just asking.

Who made Yan Chongzhi always be the most upright and fair person, impartial and unbiased, and only for the sake of the court.

"I promised Bai Jingli to ensure that he and the Bai family are well-founded, and after Chen Shide's ink corruption case is over, I will send his family out of the capital." The small spoon in Zhao Ying's hand was put down, hung on the edge of the bowl and placed it twice, almost not slipping into the bowl.

The spoon is porcelain, and so is the bowl, and the two swings make a slight collision sound, which is very light and crispy.

Zhao Ying took a deep breath and said: "It's because I heard Uncle Huang say that Yan Shangshu supported the establishment of the Sili Academy, and I don't want Yan Shangshu to lose face, so I can't hand Bai Jingli over to the Criminal Department for trial." ”

Emperor Zhaoning's face hung helplessly: "So Chen Shide's incriminating evidence, you made a deal with Bai Jingli to get it?" ”

She said without thinking: "I didn't think so much at first, but at that time, I knew about Liuyan and Liu's affairs, and I was angry, who would have expected that Chen Shide would be involved in these bad things."

He is an important minister of the imperial court, except for Dr. Xie in the imperial history of Taizhong, he is respected, he does such a thing, it is to discredit the imperial court, not to mention that most of the silver is the scavenged people's fat and people's ointment, as for his sin of using his power for personal gain, he once helped the Bai family drown, it is even more damned. ”

"Then Bai Jingli shouldn't die?"

"He may be damned, but isn't the most damned Chen Shide?" Zhao Ying didn't answer and asked, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, Bai Jingli said it well, and he picked himself up, but in fact, he didn't want to help Chen Shide do things, and he didn't want to be controlled by others, this time he took the opportunity to attack and use me as a sword envoy, but I still want to believe that there is still a trace of trust and authenticity between people." ”

Emperor Zhaoning was stunned.

She is still the little girl who is not deeply involved in the world and does not understand the world.

Innocent and beautiful.

How clean can a person like Bai Jingli be.

Even if you die ten times, it's not a pity to die.

She was willing to believe those nonsense, knowing that it was a series of nonsense, but she was still willing to choose to believe it.

This is the side of her original kindness, and it is also the side that Emperor Zhaoning is most happy to see.

There are advantages to naivety, be simple, and you won't make too much trouble in the future.

Children, coax, the emotions will always pass.

Since she is willing to be kind, he might as well fulfill it, a Bai Jingli, what must be killed?

His canary is honestly well-behaved, which is the most important thing.

Emperor Zhaoning smiled: "Then it's up to you to spare his life, as for how to convict and punish, since the person is tried by your subordinate court, you can convict him of the crime and submit a fold." ”

Zhao Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, obviously happy: "There is one more thing, it is related to my interception and killing before, and it is also related to Bai Jingli's abduction this time. ”

Speaking of this, his face became gloomy again: "What, what did Bai Jingli say?" ”

She shook her head, "He doesn't know who kidnapped him, but it's strange that those people never wanted to kill him."

I originally thought that the two things were linked, it was someone else behind Chen Shide, and I didn't want me to report Chen Shide, but also to let Bai Jingli shut up forever.

But I couldn't intercept and kill me once, and I didn't send anyone to intercept and kill again.

Obviously, Bai Jingli has been kidnapped, and he has found a place where no one is there to kill and bury him, and his goal has been achieved.

Didn't my father think it was strange? ”

It's weird.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhao Ying raised his voice and said: "So after Yan Shangshu convicted Chen Shide, can he not cut off his head and hand him over to the Sili Court for trial?" Originally, I didn't try him when I was blocked and killed, and you handed him over to the Criminal Department at the beginning, and you didn't let Yan Shangshu interrogate him about anything. ”
