Xiao Yulin took the opportunity to say: "The queen mother, the son's body is dirty, and it is inconvenient to fulfill filial piety in front of the queen mother's bed. Wait for the sons to go back to the house to freshen up, and then come to the queen mother to do their filial piety. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao said: "Don't worry! The mourning family is not in good spirits when they see you, so go back to the house to recuperate for a day or two, and then come to the mourning family. When the mourning family sees you come out, the mourning family's illness will be cured! Hehe......"

Xiao Yulin then said: "Queen Mother, the minister has retired first!" ”

Empress Dowager Zhao only waved her hand.

Xiao Yulin took Zhong Yuqi's hand, looked sideways at Zhong Yuqi and smiled. Then, the two of them left Ningshou Palace together.

Empress Dowager Zhao exhaled heavily, and a smile appeared on her face again.

On the way home, Zhong Yuqi told Xiao Yulin about her meeting with Empress Dowager Zhao yesterday morning.

Xiao Yulin told Zhong Yuqi that the reason why Xiao Yuhong released him was probably because it was related to Empress Dowager Zhao's dream.

Empress Dowager Zhao was awakened by the thunder, and there was a dream from the first emperor, which made Xiao Yuhong's heart uneasy. Later, there was another incident with Xiao Ziqian, so that Xiao Yuhong was so angry that he vomited blood.

At this time, Xiao Yuhong was a little knotted, thinking that this was the first emperor punishing him. Therefore, Xiao Yuhong's last nerves collapsed, so he was relieved and agreed to let Xiao Yulin out.

What Meng Yunting said to Zhong Yuqi is also true. Xiao Yuhong is really disgusted with Xiao Ziqian now, and thinks it is more appropriate for Xiao Ziteng to be a politician.

Zhong Yuqi knew that things were really not that simple. It turned out that the intricacies behind this gave her favorable conditions.

Back at King Rui's Mansion, Qiu Shi hurriedly ordered someone to prepare hot water so that Xiao Yulin could bathe and change clothes.

Xiao Yulin has been in prison for many days, and he is also suffering from lovesickness, so of course he needs comfort at this time. Therefore, after bathing and changing clothes, Xiao Yulin was unruly in bed on the grounds that Zhong Yuqi was resting with him.

After that, Xiao Yulin fell into a deep sleep.

Zhong Yuqi was lying beside Xiao Yulin, did not get up, and did not make any other movements. just fell asleep on his side, quietly looking at Xiao Yulin.

At noon, Zhang Luyao took a bowl of soup and went to Longhua Palace.

Xiao Yuhong heard that it was Zhang Luyao who came, and the little vitality that had just recovered was eaten up again, so he only waved his hand and said no.

Wu Yue'er comforted Xiao Yuhong, but Xiao Yuhong insisted on not seeing Zhang Luyao. Helpless, Wu Yue'er had to go outside to explain to Zhang Luyao in person.

was rejected again, Zhang Luyao naturally hurt her self-esteem a little. But there was no way, Zhang Luyao handed the soup to Wu Yue'er and asked Wu Yue'er to persuade Xiao Yuhong to drink it.

Wu Yue'er also accepted Zhang Luyao, and then sent Zhang Luyao away.

Xiao Yuhong didn't drink the soup, and ordered someone to summon Zhang Sizhao into the palace. The two of them talked for a long time in the bedroom, and after that, Zhang Sizhao left the Longhua Hall in a trance.

On the second day of the court, Xiao Ziteng, in the name of the prince of the country, sat on the dragon chair and began to listen to political affairs.

What is surprising is that Huo Benchu also came to the court today. Moreover, Huo Benchu was red and refreshed, not like he was seriously ill. Could it be that Prime Minister Huo Cheng's illness was cured?

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”

"Everyone loves Qing's body!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"

At this time, the little eunuch guarding the door of the palace said: "Your Majesty, Princess Rui has something to do!" ”

The ministers couldn't help but whisper.

Yesterday, Prince Rui was put back to the house, what did Princess Rui do when she came to the palace today? Moreover, why didn't you see Lord Rui coming?

Xiao Ziteng said: "Biography! ”

The little eunuch guarding the gate of the palace sang: "Biography, Princess Rui is here!" ”

Zhong Yuqi walked into the main hall unhurriedly, came to the front of the hall, and then bowed to Xiao Ziteng's short body.

"The courtiers have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Xiao Ziteng hurriedly stood up, raised his hand to help him, and said, "Aunt Huang, please get up!" The imperial aunt is an elder, how can the nephew afford the imperial aunt's great gift? ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "In front of the courtiers now is the prince sitting on the dragon chair, and he will be the emperor of Dayu Kingdom in the future. Yu Li, the courtiers should visit the emperor. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers began to discuss again.

Xiao Ziteng said with a smile: "Now that my father is healthy, don't say this to my aunt, so as not to dislike my father." I don't know, the imperial aunt is in the palace today, what is the so-called matter? ”

After speaking, Xiao Ziteng sat down again.

Zhong Yuqi said: "The courtiers went to the palace today because they have a big thing to say. ”

Xiao Ziteng pretended not to know and said, "Oh? What does the royal aunt want to say? ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiyu, the courtier's surname is Zhong, her name is Yuqi, and she is the granddaughter of the former imperial Shi Zhong Shiting. Today's courtiers went to the palace to avenge the Zhong family! ”

When everyone heard that Zhong Yuqi had reported her identity, they were all stunned. When they heard the latter words again, the crowd turned into fright again.

Xiao Ziteng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The imperial aunt is from Zhong Shiting's family?" ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "Exactly! The courtiers went out from the Huancai Pavilion, Miss Yuqi. ”

This matter, many people were suspecting at that time that the female guest of King Rui's Mansion was the Yuqi girl of Huancai Pavilion. It's just that no one dares to say the gossip of the Rui Wangfu, and it's still a member of the Zhong family.

Now that Zhong Yuqi mentions this matter, everyone is not surprised.

Xiao Ziteng said: "If the imperial aunt is really from the Zhong family, more than ten years have passed since this incident, I don't know where the grievances that the imperial aunt said came from?" ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "The former prince's rebellion was framed by others! The former prince and the Zhong family were wronged! For personal gain, some people deliberately framed the former prince for rebellion by taking advantage of the fact that the former prince privately transferred troops for disaster relief. The collusion between the former prince and the Zhong family is also nothing! That so-called letter of rebellion was also forged! ”

Zhong Yuqi: "Fortunately, God has eyes, and the conscience of the person who forged the letter back then found out that he wanted to avenge the former prince, so he found the courtiers and talked about it. In addition, the man also handed the courtiers a thing, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take a look! ”

After speaking, Zhong Yuqi took out a piece of letter paper that was some years old from his arms and offered it with both hands.

Meng Guifu stepped forward to take it and held it to Xiao Ziteng.

Xiao Ziteng glanced at it, and then said to Shangshu of the Criminal Department: "Li Shangshu of the Criminal Department, you can take a look at this letter." ”

Meng Guifu gave the letter to Li Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

Li Shangshu took the letter and read it, and immediately turned pale with fright. When I looked at the end again, there was no signature or seal, and my face was full of doubts.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this ......"

Zhong Yuqi said: "This is what the man who forged the letter gave to his courtiers. At the beginning, he kept an eye on it and forged a total of three letters, one for the financier, one for himself, and one for a friend for safekeeping. What is now in the file of the Criminal Department is the forged letter with signature and seal taken by the owner of the money. ”
