Chapter 262: Good means

You don't want to ramble hereβ€”β€”! β€œ

Lin Jieyu lowered her eyes and smiled, the tears on her face had not faded, and she looked pitiful.

"My sister didn't even ask Bai Ling, so she concluded that I was pulling around?"

Concubine Ning's movements froze there, and then slowly turned to Bai Ling, who was still standing in the center of the side hall, "Bai Ling, is there such a thing?" ”

Boling did not answer.

Bai Ling frowned slightly, and for a while he didn't quite understand what Lin Jieyu was doing.

Lin Jieyu can directly say "Imperial Garden" and "Donglin Temple", which shows that she should already have a certificate in her hand - but what kind of guard is that? That's obviously Prince Gong's son.

Not to mention whether the Ming Duke himself is a person from Prince Gong's side, as long as he wants to overthrow the Song Dynasty, it is unlikely that he will be an enemy of Prince Gong - the only one who can compete with the Song Party in the Manchu Dynasty is the old Sun Ge faction, and the person standing behind the old Sun Ge is Prince Gong.

Emperor Jianxi has no good impression of Prince Gong's son, but he is spoiled by the prince, such an important political bargaining chip, Prince Gong's people will never allow any stain on him.

And Lin Jieyu, who has been doing things for Duke Ming, involved Prince Gong at this time, did she think she didn't die fast enough?

There are only two possibilities at the moment.

Either Lin Jieyu believed Fang Cai's own sentence "Your Ming Gong wants you to die", so now she simply fights to the death of a fish - but Lin Jieyu is not like the kind of person who can be easily instigated.

Or, it's another trap that keeps coming in...... Everything is from the behind-the-scenes manipulation of the so-called Ming Gong.

But as mentioned earlier, Bai Ling really couldn't figure out for a while, what is the benefit of dragging Shizi into the water at this time.

She stood there without saying a word, suddenly feeling that her brain might be a little underwhelmed.

Qu Shi didn't care about it at first, but after Bai Ling's intriguing silence, he couldn't help but sink in his heart.

Concubine Ning was stunned for a moment, and then scolded in shame, "Bai Ling, answer!" ”

"The minister has nothing to answer." Bai Ling's attitude was still open, and there was no panic on his face, "The minister and that guard are innocent, and they haven't done anything out of bounds. The several chance encounters between the Imperial Garden and Donglin Temple are just coincidences. ”

"A chance encounter?" Lin Jieyu smiled, "The left guard battalion is His Majesty's personal guard, and he is basically trained in addition to being on duty on weekdays...... How many times can he sneak up to the Imperial Garden to find you, is this also a chance encounter? ”

For a moment, Bai Ling's ears moved.

"Left Guard Battalion?" Bai Ling's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at Lin Jieyu seriously, "How did Niangniang know that he was from Zuo Weiying?" ”

After all, even Bai Ling himself didn't know.

Seeing the surprise on Bai Ling's face, Lin Jieyu felt a little confident in her heart, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "On the day when the emperor cultivated last month and chanted the scriptures all night, a group of guards were transferred from the left guard camp to guard the scriptures for the emperor...... And the next morning, after the sutra is over, someone bumps into you and talks to him in the Imperial Garden. Bai Si Yao ......" Lin Jieyu learned the tone of Concubine Fang Cai Ning and asked in a low voice, "...... Is there such a thing? ”

The time and place were so clear, and Bai Ling had such an attitude of not explaining, that even Qu Shi's heart was a little shaken for a while.

And in order to make things more believable, Lin Jieyu told every detail that Jin Zhi had told her before, all in detail. She could never have imagined that this matter would finally be said in such a form on such an occasion.

She knows Emperor Jianxi, and for these people who follow him, whether it is Jinyiwei or Zuowei Battalion, Emperor Jianxi has always been strict - once the matter of fornicating with the female officials in the palace is revealed, Bai Ling and the guards are destined to go to Huangquan together.

It's a pity that Bai Gu's specific information about the guards has not come for a long time, and tonight's incident happened suddenly, so she had to show this hole card in advance. Otherwise, she prefers to wait for the next private meeting between the two of them to crash on the spotβ€”imagine how flustered the two young men would be at that time.

The more they talked, the faces of Concubine Ning and Qu became worse and worse, but the worries in Bai Ling's heart gradually dissipated.

It wasn't until Lin Jieyu finished telling all the details she knew that Bai Ling's previous uneasiness had all disappeared - because from Lin Jieyu's story, she finally understood that there was a third possibility for this matter: Lin Jieyu really didn't know that person was the son of the world.

She couldn't help but bow her head and smile, shook her head and said, "Lin Jieyu is really good." ”

Lin Jieyu withdrew her gaze from Bai Ling's side and casually glanced at Concubine Ning's side, "...... There is no impermeable wall in the world, and no one should know it, unless you do it. Who in this palace dares to say that they haven't done anything wrong-"

"Far from it. What I said about good means and what you understand are two different things. Billing paused, and then said, "I mean, Niangniang, you are clever at muddying the waters. ”

"You ......"

"Things are one yard at a time," Bai Ling said softly, "Which guard I met in the Imperial Garden, what we said and did, it has nothing to do with the witch Gu case in Chuxiu Palace tonight." Just because of a small paulownia puppet, the palace maid in charge of the Chengqian Palace was directly sent to the Shen Criminal Division, and the concubine Niangniang and Ning Concubine Niangniang were also almost implicated, if they were not investigated as soon as possible...... If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid that tomorrow when it dawns, things will only ferment in a more serious direction. ”

Concubine Ning suddenly realized at this time that if Fang Cai blindly followed Lin Jieyu's topic and became entangled in "how much responsibility should the palace maid bear for making mistakes", then she would fall for this woman.

Even if Bai Ling really had an affair with the guards, it would be a matter of settling accounts after the autumn, and the most important thing at the moment was only one thing-

"Your Majesty." Qu Shi had already stood up, she slowly walked in front of Emperor Jianxi, leaned over and knelt down, "Please order...... Investigate the matter thoroughly. ”

Emperor Jianxi looked at Qu Shi and still didn't say anything.

Qu Shi continued, "The concubine understands the emperor's worries, and it would be good if the matter of witchcraft could be calmed down as soon as possible. But if it is hastily concluded in such a tigerish and unclear manner, I am afraid that it will not be able to convince the public. In the future, it is difficult to guarantee that the palaces will take risks and secretly follow suit...... When the time comes, I am afraid that it will cause more trouble. ”

The concubine was right.

Emperor Jianxi didn't understand this in his heart.

He leaned back in his chair, not looking at anyone in the room.

After a long time, he finally whispered, "...... Let the Shen Criminal Division transfer the case to Dali Temple. ”

On the side, Huang Chongde replied softly, and then asked, "Then all the people involved in the case..."

"Imprisoned first," Emperor Jianxi said coldly, "Everything must be investigated by me." ”

Huang Chongde nodded, walked in front of Lin Jieyu in person, and said softly, "So, Lin Jieyu...... Please. ”

Lin Jieyu stood up calmly, walked towards the side door, and did not forget to turn around before going out, and owed a light debt to Emperor Jianxi, without the slightest defeat on that delicate face.

After Lin Jieyu left, Qu looked at the emperor again.

"Your Majesty, about the meeting between Bai Ling and the guards, the concubine thinks-"

"You don't have to worry about it." Emperor Jianxi's voice was categorical, "The left guard battalion is all my personal soldiers, and I will personally inquire about this matter." ”
