Jiang Yingli smiled when she heard this, she didn't know why Concubine Shu did this, but in order to thank Concubine Shu for her kindness, she also had to make some return gifts.

So he asked the eunuch to wait for a while, turned around and entered the house, and asked Jing'er Yunzhu to take out the embroidery she had pondered some time ago.

After packing, Jiang Yingli asked Jing'er Yunzhu to hand over the embroidery to the eunuch, and then said with a smile: "It's not a valuable thing, it's an embroidery that I figured out by myself a few days ago, and I asked my father-in-law to transfer it to Concubine Shuniang for me, saying that I am very grateful for her concern." ”

The eunuch nodded respectfully: "Yes, the slave and maid obey the order, and the slave and maid will definitely transfer this thing to the lady concubine." ”

Jiang Yingli personally sent people to the gate of the mansion, and then turned around and went back to the courtyard, and then she found that Qiu Muyun had found Lang Zhong, and Lang Zhong personally checked the medicinal materials.

After a while, Lang Zhong had a result, and the doctor smiled and said, "These medicinal materials are all excellent supplements, there is no problem, and they can be directly used to recuperate Brother Ling's body." ”

Jiang Yingli nodded: "Then thank you doctor, and ask the doctor to make medicine for me." ”

The doctor bowed and then turned and went out, and the herbs were also sent into the kitchen.

Jiang Yingli looked at the direction of the small kitchen, with some doubts in his eyes, Qiu Muyun came over and asked, "What's wrong, do you have any ideas?" ”

Jiang Yingli shook his head, then frowned again and said, "I just think that Concubine Shu is a little too enthusiastic. ”

Qiu Muyun hooked his lips, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say a word.

……

What happened in the Hou Ye's Mansion was not airtight, basically the powerful people in the capital already knew about it, but no one took it out without a long eye.

But the object of everyone's suspicion is the prince, or rather, except for Jiang Yingli and other parties who feel that there is a real murderer behind the scenes, basically everyone has fallen on the prince for this kidnapping case.

Say whoever isn't there.

Besides, the crown prince is still charged with escaping from prison, and many people want to fall victim to him.

Just when Jiang Yingli was thinking about how to persuade Qiu Muyun to let him leave the fourth prince, something new suddenly happened in the palace.

In the imperial study, at this time, a minister was indignantly complaining to the emperor: "Your Majesty, what happened in the Hou Ye's Mansion this time has spread, and everyone thinks that the prince did it." ”

When the emperor heard him say this, he frowned, although the prince escaped from prison and had the idea of plotting to usurp the throne, but it was his son anyway.

Now that the minister has put the charge on the crown prince without any evidence, the emperor is still a little displeased.

He frowned and looked at the minister: "You said that the prince did it, but what evidence is there, don't just put this charge on his head without evidence, and let the real murderer go." ”

The emperor's words have been obvious enough, but the minister still looks straightforward: "Your Majesty, the minister naturally will not say this without evidence." ”

"Because of what happened before, the minister went to investigate, and finally found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had also kidnapped the Jiang County Lord, but at that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was huge, and no one dared to sue him, so this matter was finally settled."

"But, Your Majesty, in this capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the prince dares to look at the king's law to such a point, and openly kidnap the county lord Jiang, although the county lord Jiang is only the goddaughter of Mrs. Hou, but it is too arrogant!"

When the emperor heard this, his face changed greatly: "What did you say?" That evil obstacle actually did such a thing. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." When the minister saw that the emperor had changed his words, he immediately became indignant again: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can also call the Hou Ye to confront him on the spot." ”

The emperor didn't want to say anything more at this time, and directly asked the Hou Ye to come over to see him.

It was also a little strange for the Hou Ye to learn that the emperor in the palace had summoned him to the palace for an audience, but now he didn't provoke anything, thinking that the emperor would not embarrass him much, so he entered the palace after explaining to Mrs. Hou one or two times.

When he arrived at the imperial study, he asked with some doubts: "I don't know what is important for the emperor's ministers to enter the palace." ”

The emperor looked dignified, and then asked a little dangerously: "I heard that Lord Jiang was kidnapped before, but there is this matter, this matter is true." ”

Hou Ye froze when he heard this, and looked at the emperor in some surprise, now he didn't need the emperor to ask carefully, he could already see the clues on his face.

The emperor squinted his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "You just tell me, is it true?" ”

Hou Ye cleared his throat and shook his head: "If you go back to the emperor, this matter is not true, Yingli has not been kidnapped, except for this incident, everything else is nonsense." ”

"Master Hou, how can you say that? Are you shielding the prince? As soon as Hou Ye's words fell, the minister next to him couldn't help it.

Hearing such a big hat buttoned on his head, Hou Ye really panicked, he frowned, and still insisted on his words: "If you go back to the emperor, Yingli has indeed not been kidnapped, this matter, everyone in our house knows, but I don't know where this rumor came from." ”

After saying this, he looked at the minister who complained meaningfully: "Could it be that Lord Zheng complained to the emperor?" But even if you sue, you have to have evidence. ”

Seeing that the Hou Ye actually denied it, Lord Zheng was so angry for a while that his face was red, and he didn't relent: "Your Majesty, the Hou Ye is probably afraid of the power of the prince, but what Wei Chen said is true, if the emperor doesn't believe it, the minister can also submit evidence, and ask the emperor to decide!" ”

"Alright." The emperor was a little troubled by these two people, and it didn't seem to be so simple to see this matter, but the Hou Ye didn't admit it, and the emperor didn't continue to investigate.

But anger can't be eliminated, and only the emperor himself knows what the outcome of this matter is, and Lord Zheng and Lord Hou were sent out of the imperial study.

……

Outside the imperial study, Lord Zheng glared at Hou Ye with some dissatisfaction: "Master Hou, why are you so timid?" It's a good time to file a complaint, and you actually said that nothing like this happened, what do you think? ”

Hou Ye was dissatisfied, and after glancing at Zheng Daren, he said dissatisfiedly: "Lord Zheng, I know that you love justice the most, but there is no evidence in this matter, it is nonsense, you have to say that my daughter was kidnapped, isn't this bad for her reputation?" Don't talk about it anymore. ”

Hearing this, Master Zheng came back to his senses violently: It seems that Master Hou knows, and he denied it just now, isn't it to protect Jiang Yingliang's reputation?

Master Zheng was a little angry, but after Hou Ye finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left, and he didn't give him a chance to speak again.

At this time, the emperor had already made a decision, and Lord Zheng couldn't go and say more in his ear, so he could only skip the matter.
