Chapter 345: Complex
"Your Majesty, it's almost time, the Queen Mother should have arrived in the front hall, everything has been prepared, just waiting for you to check."
At this time, Chen Cheng dared to walk to the emperor's side and tell the story.
After hearing this, Jin Lingluo also knew that the hour was not early, so he helped the blue baby to the front hall.
When the blue baby and the emperor arrived at the front hall, the queen Yan Ruoxue, the queen mother, Princess Qingyu, and Princess Liuli were already waiting here.
Originally, on this occasion, it should have been Concubine Ling, and these concubines had been waiting here for a long time, so it was unruly for the Queen Mother to wait here, but Lan Baobao came with the emperor, and she couldn't say anything, so she could only grit her teeth and secretly curse Lan Bao in her heart.
Jin Lingluo naturally responded respectfully to the Queen Mother, Jin Lingluo just glanced at Yan Ruoxue, and then pulled the blue baby to the rows of boxes where the dowry was placed.
"Your Majesty, this is a list of items, and it shows the number of items offered by each concubine." The records on the side were integrated, and the official of the roster handed the roster to Jin Lingluo and explained in detail.
Jin Lingluo was very satisfied with the roster, after the name of the blue baby, the items she gave herself were originally recorded in Yan Ruoxue's name, last night Wenzhi went to the warehouse, although the number of items in the roster was not changed, but the number of blue babies and Yan Ruoxue was changed to the original number.
Yan Ruoxue saw the smile on the emperor's face, and thought that she was relieved because of herself.
"Open all the boxes."
Jin Lingluo closed the list, and majestically ordered the palace people on the side to open the big boxes, and before Jin Lingluo could see it, the faces of the palace people who opened the boxes changed instantly, and then blurted out: "Your Majesty...... There are a lot fewer items in this box. ”
These boxes were also sealed by these palace people at the beginning, so you can naturally see how much of it.
After saying that, the palace man regretted it, even if he didn't look at the queen, he could feel Yan Ruoxue's terrifying gaze.
"What? Where were these items placed last night, and how could they be missing? ”
Jin Lingluo walked to the boxes suspiciously, and looked at each box, indeed none of the boxes were full, just a few items were packed at the bottom of the box, what does this look like, the dowry for marriage is slowly packed in a box even in ordinary people's homes, is this a ridicule of the palace is not as good as ordinary people?
"Back to the emperor, we were the last to leave last night, and every box was full at that time." Record the palace official's timid reply.
"Where do I ask? Can't get it? ”
Jin Lingluo saw that the palace official only said something else and did not answer his question, so he became anxious, and scolded sharply.
"The slave doesn't dare, the box was placed in the queen's palace last night."
Seeing that the emperor was very angry, the palace official hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied, and the palace people on the side also hurriedly knelt down, and no one wanted to be punished for this matter.
"How do you explain the matter of the Queen?"
Jin Lingluo looked at Yan Ruoxue impatiently, the day before yesterday, he said that the palace was haunted, and this happened again, and the emperor was really angry.
"Your Majesty, the concubines don't know, the concubines don't have the heart to covet money."
Yan Ruoxue was very puzzled when she saw this situation, but she knew that she didn't do it, and it was possible that those palace people stole it when they saw that there was a lot of property.
"If you have the heart to covet money, you will know if you search it."
Jin Lingluo was too lazy to argue with the queen about right and wrong here, thinking that if he couldn't find it in the queen's place, he would deal with the palace people who managed the items, and the Persian envoys were still waiting, and there had to be an explanation for this matter, so he could only do this now.
I saw that the Imperial Forest Army rushed to Huashun Palace one after another, and the queen's maids also hurried back, shouting loudly: "You all light, if anything is broken in this house, you can't afford to pay for your lives." ”
Even if the palace maid shouted and cut her throat, the guards didn't pay attention to it, just rummaging around every corner.
Because the emperor said earlier that when something happens in the palace, it is necessary to search the concubines and concubines, and there is no need to compensate for breaking any object, including the queen's bedroom.
"Chief, there's a discovery."
At this time, a guard walked up to a guard leader to report, and then the guard took the leader to Yan Ruoxue's bed, only to see two guards pull out two large boxes from under the bed, one left and one right.
The palace maid on the side looked at the two big boxes with an ugly face, and was very uneasy.
When the guards opened the chest, the light of the jewels made people's eyes hurt, and the leader of the guards stepped forward and picked up a bead of precious stones, thought for a moment, and said, "Go, bring these two chests to the front hall." ”
In fact, the commander of this guard didn't know if this was all in the queen's own palace or the treasures lost in the box, so he had to go to the front hall to check the list to find out.
It is already noon, and if this hour is over, it will pass, although there is no such thing on the Persian side, but it is still very important in Dayan Kingdom.
The Empress Dowager looked at Jin Lingluo very anxiously and persuaded her: "Your Majesty, why don't you bring some treasures from the palace of this palace for them to carry, it will be bad after the auspicious time." ”
Jin Lingluo heard that the Empress Dowager's worries were also reasonable, so he wanted to open his mouth and signal the palace people around the Empress Dowager to go to the warehouse to get the corresponding treasures.
Just as Jin Lingluo was about to speak, he heard a report from the guards outside: "Your Majesty, two boxes of treasures have been found in the palace of the queen mother." ”
The guard said, only to see a few guards carrying heavy boxes into the hall, and when the blue baby saw these two boxes, the corners of his mouth pulled up a slight smile.
The official who recorded hurriedly opened the box and checked the number on the list, four pairs of golden forks of larks, two pairs of gilded butterflies, eight pairs of jade bracelets, and the treasures in each palace were also correct.
"Back to the emperor, these are lost objects."
The official respectfully attached himself to report to the emperor truthfully, and his eyes inadvertently skimmed to Yan Ruoxue, who was sitting in the hall, and was frightened by Yan Ruoxue's sharp and poisonous eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head.
"Queen, I treat you very well, why did you ruin Yanguo's face at this time, you are not here to argue about this matter, and then discuss it later."
Jin Lingluo turned to Yan Ruoxue's cold mouth, because it was the day of Princess Liuli's marriage recently, and it was not easy to return to the attack, so he just asked, Jin Lingluo thought about sending Princess Liuli away, and then deal with the queen.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, the concubine definitely didn't do these stealing things."
Yan Ruoxue pulled the emperor's sleeve and begged for mercy, only to see Jin Lingluo pull the sleeve back fiercely, and Yan Ruoxue didn't pay attention to what she said.
Seeing the emperor's attitude, Lan Baobao knew that his plan had succeeded, and he was extremely happy in his heart, and smiled at Jin Lingluo: "Your Majesty, today is a day of great joy, don't be angry, since the items have been recovered, it is also a blessing, you should be happy." ”
Being persuaded by Lan Baobao like this, Jin Lingluo's displeasure was much soothed by Yan Ruoxue, and then he took Lan Baobao's hand and said with relief: "It's still the baby who is the most considerate of me, with the baby here, I am in a good mood." ”
At this moment, Qing Man walked up to Lan Baobao's side and whispered: "Huang Wanyan has returned to the palace, should I send someone to monitor her?" ”
Lan Baobao replied to Qingman's words with his mind, and Qingman also felt that this was the case after hearing it, so it can only be like this, since Huang Wanyan can come back, she must have something to do.
Now Bai Fengzhi is not in the palace, if Huang Wanyan does something that is not good for the emperor, Lan Baobao is also very worried, but he can only keep calm.
And Yan Ruoxue on the side, seeing that Lan Baobao and Jin Lingluo were very harmonious, and she was treated like this by the emperor, the anger in Yan Ruoxue's heart burned high, and she secretly thought in her heart: "Lan Baobao will never let your limelight surpass this palace in the palace." ”
Even with such an idea, Yan Ruoxue can't help Blue Baby now.
Since there is nothing wrong with checking the objects, the matter of the queen's embezzlement of property has been finalized, even if the ministers of the court and the prince of the country are not allowed to intercede, so the ministers present also kept their mouths shut and did not dare to say a word.
Princess Liuli and Princess Qingyu didn't know what happened today, and they also hated Yan Ruoxue very much, Princess Liuli glanced at Yan Ruoxue fiercely before getting into the carriage, and the result that the blue baby wanted was like this.
Yan Ruoxue was afraid of this married palace maid, and fiddled with the armor in her hand disapprovingly.
And Princess Liuli's gaze at the blue baby was obviously much softer.
Lan Baobao thought that even if something happened to Fang Cai, the timely change would not become a big problem, but it would just make Yan Ruoxue lose face in front of everyone.
The team to send off relatives was huge, and the emperor saw that the number of people sent by the original queen was only sixty, which was too small, and took into account the royal face and sent another seventy people, this time there were more than 130 people with the personal maidservants, Yan Ruoxue saw that the emperor vetoed this point, and her heart was even more angry, but she dared not speak out.
This is also Jin Lingluo is making an example, if Princess Qingyu marries, it will probably be much better than now.
It is also showing the strength of the Great Yan Kingdom to the Persian State.
When the Persian envoys passed through the capital with this mighty procession, the people came to both sides of the road to watch the battle, not knowing that the carriage was only a princess, but thinking that it was the real princess, and when the princess's carriage passed by, the people knelt down.
Xing'er in the carriage is very complicated, she used to live a slave life, and the princess is not thin on her, but now she really looks like a real princess, and so many treasures are also given by the blue baby, and the awe of the blue baby in her heart is a little more.
Naturally, he is also very grateful to the emperor.
The maidservants below were instructed by the emperor to be respectful to this generation of princesses, and Xing'er herself felt that she really responded to that sentence, and she felt that she had become a phoenix on the branches.
When the procession to see off the relatives stood at the highest point of the imperial city and could not be seen, the emperor turned around and shouted coldly: "Empress, it's time to talk about you." ”
Yan Ruoxue stood aside timidly, she had already thought of a countermeasure in her heart, and then pretended to faint, and Wenzhi on the side hurriedly came over to help: "Niangniang, how are you?" ”
Wen Yi shook Yan Ruoxue while asking, originally just pretending to faint, but she was really a little confused by Wen Zhi's shaking like this, Yan Ruoxue then said weakly: "Your Majesty, someone must be trying to harm me in this matter, and the concubine is wronged." ”
"Is there anyone else in this harem who can harm you, the queen?"
Jin Lingluo questioned Yan Ruoxue disdainfully, seeing Yan Ruoxue's appearance so coy, he didn't want to continue to look at it, no matter whether she Yan Ruoxue was really unconscious or deliberate, he wouldn't take it to heart.
"Since you are unwell, queen, then you don't have to go out of Huashun Palace this month, so you can reflect on yourself."
