Cao Ting went to the uncle's mansion, and it can be said that he has not completely woken up from the tragic incident of the death of his father-in-law.

But Cao Tingyue also came to investigate the case at the behest of the emperor, and he was from Dongchang, so they naturally didn't dare to greet him badly.

Cao Tingyue still just brought a Ji Lin, "Your Majesty's intention is just to let the servants walk around this mansion, what the hell is this, it's a big trouble, and it's not good for anyone." ”

Uncle Guo is actually not very clear, what is going on, he can only deal with it carefully, "Of course, but the lower officials don't know very well, and the reason why the master is in charge today is ......"

Cao Ting pulled his lips more and more, and said, "Uncle Guo really doesn't understand? Or how? ”

Of course, Uncle Guo really doesn't understand!!

Ji Lin spoke in the back, "Your Majesty is furious that the Second Prince's Mansion is full of poisoning, so I specially ordered Dongchang to inquire about it." ”

Uncle Guo subconsciously said, "Then since this is the case, how can you come to me......" He paused here when he said this, and then looked at Cao Tingyu in disbelief, "Your Majesty is suspicious......"

Suspicion on his head?

Uncle Guo exclaimed, "The second prince is my nephew!" He looked at Cao Tingyu, "But the master of the punishment has heard it?" How could His Majesty suspect the lower officials! The second prince is the nephew of the lower official, and he is also ...... on weekdays."

Cao Tingyue interrupted him, "Uncle Guo doesn't need to talk to the minions about this, the minions are just acting on orders, whatever Your Majesty says, the minions will do." ”

Uncle Guo doesn't need to be a national uncle, if the house is a national uncle at this time, he will definitely be angry, but I am afraid that Cao Tingyue will be scolded.

Because Guozhang has always boasted of his identity, he never asked Dongchang or any eunuch slave to be presumptuous in front of him.

But Uncle Guo is different, compared to him, he has to be much gentler.

However, it is more timid than mild.

He is different from those families who should be taken for granted, he is not arrogant, because his sister is the queen, but he is more cautious and never reckless because of his identity.

This was a good thing when the father-in-law was still there, but now that the father-in-law is gone, the whole family will be counting on him, so it will be easy to appear more deficient.

Uncle Guo said, "How do you want to find out?" ”

Cao Ting paused, and Ji Lin said, "Do you want to accompany you?" Why don't you find a housekeeper to take the minions around? ”

This is Cao Tingyue has something to say to Uncle Guo alone, Uncle Guo immediately understood, and then nodded to the housekeeper beside him, "You take it." ”

He personally compared the front, "Lord Punishment, please." ”

Cao Ting nodded more and more reservedly, he walked beside Uncle Guo, and said, "Uncle Guo should know why His Majesty let the slave go this way." ”

Uncle Guo frowned, "This official knows what the master means, but what this official doesn't understand is ...... Why would His Majesty be suspicious of the head of this official. ”

Cao Tingyue laughed for a moment, and then suddenly said, "My lord should know that the slave was at the Niangniang's Qianqiu banquet last year, and after replying to the words of the second prince, he was unhappy with the queen's mother, and then the mother also had a lot of ......criticism of the slave."

Uncle Guo understood this, and he hurriedly said, "Niangniang's temperament is also known to adults, and I am usually afraid that it is nothing, but as long as it involves His Royal Highness the Second Prince, Niangniang, it is inevitable that I will lose my proportion." ”

"The slave doesn't dare to say that." Cao Tingyue was taken to the front hall by Uncle Guo to sit down, and then the two of them finished talking, and then watched the maid come in and pour tea, and Uncle Guo said, "Okay, you go down." No one is allowed to come in without my command. ”

There were only the two of them left in the room.

Cao Tingyue opened his mouth and said, "This should not have been said in the first place, but the slave thinks about it, even if it is said to the adult, it is nothing." ”

"I want to hear about it."

"It's ...... All kinds of signs point to the great prince. ”

"The eldest prince......" Uncle Guo was dumbfounded, he understood.

The emperor didn't want to believe that this was a matter of brotherhood, and he felt that the more conclusive the evidence, the more people felt that something was not quite right.

And if it is true that everything is directed and acted by the second prince, just to dirty the eldest prince's hand, of course, it is impossible for him, who is an uncle, not to know.

Uncle Guo immediately said, "Please inquire casually, the official is clear, and he has never done such a thing, not to mention ......" He pursed his lips, "The Lord in charge of punishment should also know that our Second Prince's Royal Highness is definitely not such a person." ”

Cao Tingyue glanced at Uncle Guo, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that someone has slandered His Royal Highness the Second Prince and bewitched the Second Prince, but I don't know." ”

Uncle Guo shook his head, "The second prince has always regarded this eldest prince as his own brother, and he will definitely not be able to do such a thing." ”

Cao Ting became more and more silent.

Uncle Guo asked again, "Do you want to ......?"

Cao Tingyue laughed, "I'm just afraid of this, the queen mother may still think that the slave is getting in the way, and it will make Your Majesty suspect the uncle of the country." ”

How is this possible! Uncle Guo actually knows the emperor, he usually has to be as cautious as he is, his mind is as heavy as the sea, he thinks so much, it is indeed a normal operation.

If he didn't say anything, he would have directly condemned the eldest prince, and he might feel strange.

And Cao Tingyue is the second time to mention the queen today, and Uncle Guo is actually a little clear, "Please rest assured, my lord, Niangniang was blind before, but I am afraid that there are many unknowns, and when the next time this official enters the palace to meet Niangniang, he will naturally analyze all these things with Niangniang." The heart of an adult is like a mirror. ”

He felt that Cao Tingyue was helping him.

But indeed, in this matter, Cao Tingyue is indeed helping him.

Cao Tingyue smiled, "A slave is just a duty to be a slave, so why should adults be so polite." ”

While talking, Ji Lin came back.

Cao Tingyue just finished speaking, he just stood up, "Then the slave will leave first." ”

Uncle Guo hurriedly said, "This official will send the master in charge." ”

Cao Tingyue waved his hand, "There is no need to be like this, the adult is the master, and the slave is just a slave, where should the adult send it off in person." ”

He took Ji Lin with him and left quickly.

Where did Uncle Guo dare to recognize him as his master Cao Tingyu, I am afraid that now, only one Ji Jia and an emperor dare to say this, he looked at the figure of Cao Tingyue leaving, and his face sank.

Although he knew that the emperor sometimes had the intention to favor the eldest prince, what he didn't expect was that even Cao Tingyue said that the evidence was conclusive, but the emperor still refused to ask for the crime, and even now, there has never been a summons.

It's as if he already believes that the eldest prince is innocent.

This is the inevitable reason that he will feel unhappy.

But the affairs of the heavenly family have always been so complicated.

Even if he is not happy, it is useless, but now, fortunately, there is a Cao Tingyue who handed over an olive branch, and the people of Dongchang are willing to say a few words for them, which can be said to be a great opportunity.

Since it was the eldest prince who died by himself, then don't blame them for having to firmly grasp this hard-won opportunity.

He soon called people to the legend that he would go to see the queen and enter the palace tomorrow.

-

Cao Tingyue is running around, which is indeed very busy, but he is very relaxed and comfortable in the past few days.

She hadn't been so relaxed for a long time, as long as she lay down comfortably, she didn't have to think about anything.

Whatever you want, someone will send it to you.

If she is bored, she will also spread the words of the storyteller who sings operas and sings songs to perform outside the curtain, which is to please her in a trick.

I rarely feel that this period of time is like living in a dream, and sometimes I wake up and feel a little unreal.

Because it's not that the first day is a good life, it's just that from the beginning to the end, I have always lived my life with all my might, and every step is calculated and calculated, just for fear that I have taken the wrong step.

In this harem, she has a purpose, as long as she takes a wrong step, she is afraid that it will be completely finished, so she is cautious and never dares to relax her vigilance.

Until these two days.

She slowly opened her eyes, and the Awei sisters quickly welcomed her in, and then waited for her to wash, and asked her if her appetite was a little better today, and if she had anything to eat? Then I asked her what she had planned for today, whether she wanted to listen to music or listen to books.

Chi Chi felt that it seemed that he really couldn't go on like this.

If it goes on like this, it won't be long before I feel like I'm going to be raised.

"What's going on in the Second Prince's Mansion?"

Ah Wei looked at Ah Zhi on the side, then looked at Chi Chi, but did not speak.

Chi Chi frowned, "What does hesitation mean?" Her expression darkened, "Now I can't ask you what I said?" ”

Awei knelt down suddenly, "Slave don't dare!" ”

"Or do you think that if I've been lying here for a long time, you can treat me like a dead person, and you don't have to go back if I ask?"

The sudden anger frightened everyone in the room, and they all knelt down, "Your Highness is angry, the slave and maid will never dare." ”

In the end, she can't blame Chi Chi for being so angry, she used to sleep like this day and day without asking about outside things, but she felt uneasy.

In addition, she has been bullied for more than ten years, and the people around her regard her as a fool, or someone who can be crushed, and now she finally stood up.

But Awei's hesitation just now made Chi Chi feel as if everything was back to before.

She just—too scared.
