Chapter 53: An IOU
All of this was premeditated.
Xiao Luozi became a scapegoat, and the silver ticket found in his house was the redemption ticket issued by the Chu Palace.
She was reported to have treated the Emperor Taishang privately, and if the matter of the Nine Zhuan Dan was not found out, then she would never be able to escape the suspicion of murdering the Emperor.
Now, has she cleared it up? I'm afraid that it may not be, the emperor is just secretly tracking, and the Chu Wangfu is still on the cusp.
What would the Emperor think of this? She couldn't help but glance at the Emperor.
The Emperor Taishang was staring at her, his eyes stern.
Yuan Qingling put down the blessing treasure and lowered his head to whitewash the peace.
She knew that the Emperor might have seen something, but if she didn't say it, the Emperor would not understand what Fu Bao said.
"Come here!" The Emperor said coldly.
Yuan Qingling stood up and walked over slowly, "Emperor Taishang, please command." ”
"What did you just think of? Why did your face change so much? The Emperor asked directly.
Yuan Qingling glanced at Grandpa Chang and Mama Xi, and shook his head, "When I returned to the emperor, I didn't think of anything, and the change in face may be because of my weak body and I didn't eat breakfast." ”
Mama Xi smiled and said: "The Emperor Taishang hasn't eaten yet, he is already in Zhangluo, and he will have to eat it in a while." ”
"Mama Xie!" Yuan Qingling said softly.
The Emperor Taishang didn't ask, and after detoxification, his body was very weak, and he didn't even stare at Yuan Qingling for long.
Breakfast is minced porridge, Yuan Qingling drank two bowls, feeling that the physical strength was gathering little by little, Fu Bao opened her mouth with a long tongue, and her saliva flowed, so she smiled and said to Xi Mama: "Fu Bao can drink porridge, get some for it, don't put salt, the dog should eat lighter, in fact, the emperor also needs to eat lighter." ”
"You can't eat light." Emperor Taishang hurriedly said.
"A must!" Yuan Qingling turned his head and looked at him seriously.
"You, the housekeeper, manage the heavens and the earth, and don't care if you eat salty or not?" The emperor was angry, so he knew that he was angry with himself when he called her over.
"Don't care about the sidelines, you have to take care of the food." Yuan Qingling punned on his words.
The Emperor stopped talking.
This old man is very smart.
So, will he not know who drugged him? Would he think it was Xiao Luozi?
Mama Xi went to give Fubao Zhang Luo minced porridge, and Chang Gonggong also went to supervise the soup.
Yuan Qing Ling just walked over to test the Emperor Taishang for a few words, but he heard shouting outside, "The emperor rewards Princess Chu!" ”
Yuan Qing Ling was stunned for a moment, looked outside, and the Emperor Taishang said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you go out and claim your reward? ”
"Oh!" Yuan Qingling hurriedly walked out and saw Mu Ru's father-in-law standing outside holding a delicate tray, King Qi and Chu Mingcui hadn't left yet, both of them looked at Yuan Qingling.
"The emperor has a decree, the princess of Chu has served the sick and meritorious, and specially gave Ryukyu two strings of Nanzhu and a thousand taels of gold!" Mu Rugong is fair.
Yuan Qingling knelt down, "Thank you for your reward." ”
Chu Mingcui's eyes are about to fall, it's not enough to reward Nanzhu, but also a thousand taels of gold? Why did my father attach so much importance to Yuan Qingling?
Mu Ru's father-in-law put the tray in Yuan Qingling's hand, and said with a smile: "Princess, this Ryukyu tribute Nanzhu is very precious, unusual and comparable, and the princess can be put away." ”
"Yes, Grandpa Xie." Yuan Qingling stood up and said.
"Let's go first and ask the Emperor for peace." Father-in-law Mu Ru said, and turned around and went in.
Yuan Qingling saw that there was no gold on the tray, only two strings of fluorescent round Nanzhu, and there was a piece of paper pressed under the Nanzhu, she opened it and looked at it, it was ridiculous, it was an IOU of one thousand taels of gold.
The reward is still an IOU?
Chu Mingcui stepped forward and smiled smartly, "Congratulations to Princess Chu for being rewarded by her father." ”
Yuan Qingling looked at her, her face was full of bright smiles, and her eyes were full of congratulations, and there was no jealousy or jealousy.
Yuan Qingling said: "Thank you." ”
"Nanzhu with a beauty, Princess Chu might as well try it on?" Chu Mingcui said.
Yuan Qingling shook his head, "No, I still have to serve the Emperor Taishang inside, and it's inconvenient to wear it on my body." ”
Yuan Qingling felt that this person was scheming, and every word this person said had to be guarded against, and he didn't know what intentions he had.
"That's too, by the way, the situation of the Emperor is better?" Chu Mingcui asked.
Yuan Qingling looked at her and said, "Why don't you go in person and ask for greetings?" ”
Chu Mingcui's face was a little ugly at the moment.
King Qi stepped forward and said with a little doubt: "Can you ask the emperor's grandfather why he didn't see this king?" It's weird. ”
Yuan Qingling sighed lightly in his heart, confused, the Emperor Taishang is not allowed to enter Chu Mingcui, where are you not allowed to enter?
However, since King Qi didn't speak ill of her, there was no need for her to offend, "Emperor Taishang probably doesn't want too many people to make noise around, he has always been quiet." ”
"This king thinks so," King Qi looked back at Chu Mingcui, "Why don't we go back, wait for the emperor's grandfather to get better, and then enter the palace to say goodbye." ”
He had been standing for most of the hour, and he was tired.
Chu Mingcui's fists clenched slightly, and she hated in her heart, the Emperor Taishang loved King Qi very much for him in the past, and the emperor didn't allow her to come, but the Emperor Taishang wouldn't be like this, she couldn't sit still, she must get the Emperor Taishang's other eyes, if she didn't enter the palace to serve, she couldn't prevent Yuan Qingling.
Thinking of this, she smiled slightly: "Okay, wait a little longer." ”
"But the queen mother is not in good health, isn't it good for us to go back to accompany the queen mother?" King Qi knew that Chu Mingcui was because of his filial piety to the emperor's grandfather, but this made her suffer.
When Chu Mingcui heard this, he suddenly said to the king: "By the way, I heard that Concubine Xian Niangniang has been having a headache recently, so let's go to Concubine Xian's side and sit down." ”
When she said it, she glanced at Yuan Qingling intentionally or unintentionally.
Yuan Qingling ignored it, turned around and went in, secretly suspicious in her heart, Concubine Xian is Yuwenhao's mother, she has never cared about anything, this time Yuwenhao seriously injured her and didn't come, it should be the emperor who blocked the news and didn't allow her to know.
After entering the hall, Father-in-law Mu Ru also came out.
Mama Xi was feeding Fubao porridge, and Yuan Qingling put Nanzhu on the table casually, and went over to take the emperor's temperature.
"This thing is cold." The Emperor complained.
Yuan Qingling felt that the emperor did not have a time not to complain, and he was used to hearing it, so he simply ignored it.
The Emperor Taishang was very bored, and glanced at the tray on the table, "What good things did you get?" ”
"Nanzhu, there is an IOU of one thousand taels of gold." Yuan Qing Ling said.
"IOUs?" The Emperor smiled, "Girl, you have a baby." ”
"I know, Father-in-law Mu Ru said that these Nanzhu are Ryukyu tribute, the best treasure."
"What is Namjoo? A dead thing, not enough to eat and wear, the baby is the IOU. ”
Yuan Qing Ling was surprised, "How can this IOU be a treasure?" ”
"Didn't the lonely turtle son give you a thousand taels of gold? Why should I give you an IOU? The Emperor asked.
"...... "Turtle son, are you an old turtle?" It's really that the older you get, the more weird your temper becomes, "Please also ask the Emperor Taishang to teach you." ”
"You open this IOU to see it clearly, if you are killed in the future, take this IOU into the palace, maybe it can save your dog's life."
When Yuan Qingling heard this, he hurriedly went to take the IOU and opened it, and saw that Long Feifeng wrote that he owed Princess Chu a thousand taels of gold, and at the bottom, a few small characters were written in the big seal, if you don't love money, you can exchange it for others.
Yuan Qingling was puzzled, "Why did the emperor write like this?" ”
"I don't know, maybe I saw something." The Emperor shrugged.
As soon as he shrugged his shoulders, his armpit opened, and the thermometer fell off, he took it out and handed it to Yuan Qingling, "Okay." ”
Yuan Qingling took it and looked at it, there was no fever, and his body temperature was normal.
"Lone is going to sleep, you go out to fight." The Emperor closed his eyes and muttered.
