Chapter 256: Ill-intentioned

Seeing that the two of them were planning to leave now, Hongqiang immediately stopped them. He took the two of them by the hand and pressed them against the big bed on one side, not wanting them to move around at all.

"Your Royal Highness, you and your wife are now so weak, it is better to rest here for a while, and it is not too late to go to the palace after lunch. Now the emperor should be dealing with state affairs, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to take care of these trivial matters. ”

Hongqiang is very knowledgeable, and hurriedly explained a few words. Chu Qiaosi and the others gave up for the time being, and lay on the bed to rest.

After lunch, the two changed into decent clothes and entered the palace to meet the emperor.

At this moment, the emperor has finished reviewing the recital, and plans to take a break after lunch. Hearing someone spread the word, he immediately asked the two of them to come over and talk back.

"Isn't this the female county lord I personally sealed? What are you doing today? The emperor was a little more happy between his eyebrows, and after glancing at An Lan, he cast his eyes on Chu Qiaosi next to him.

It was a little strange that the two of them came together, only to find that these two people were pale.

"Why are you two so pale, are you infected with the cold? Why don't I let the Imperial Doctor heal you? ”

The emperor was a little more worried between his eyebrows, one was his daughter, and the other was his important county lord, so he wanted to care about it.

Hearing this, Chu Qiaosi and An Lan went up one after another to thank them.

"Father, we are fine now, but there is something we need to tell our father, and I ask my father to make the decision for us, find out the murderer behind this, and give us justice!" The moment he spoke, Chu Qiaosi knelt on the ground, and An Lan on one side knelt on the ground.

The emperor was full of suspicions, so the two of them got up and replied.

"As long as what you say is true, I will seek justice for you!" Then he turned his gaze to the little eunuch next to him.

"Give me a seat at once!" His voice carried a strong majesty.

The little eunuch was quick to move, and hurriedly brought two chairs for the two of them to sit down next to them.

It could be seen that these two people were very weak at this time, and they brought some refreshing tea, and after thanking them, they talked about it.

"Father, this morning the child went to the imperial dining room to get some pastries and went out ......of the palace," Chu Qiaosi explained the ins and outs of the matter.

An Lan showed the doctor's diagnosis to the emperor, and when he saw the letter she wrote, the emperor's face turned extremely dark, and he grabbed the letter and slapped it on the table.

"The initiator behind this is really excessive! Don't worry, I won't let it go! ”

In this palace, someone did this under his nose, as the Ninety-Five, wouldn't it make him lose face.

This matter has been involved outside the palace, and it is necessary to investigate it thoroughly to the end and protect the face of the royal family.

"These people are so much that they even put their hands in the harem and try to murder my Aiqing! If this snack is put in the crane top red, it will kill people in a moment! Speaking of this, the emperor felt scared in his heart.

If it were just an ordinary person, it might not cause much damage to the country, but An Lan's identity is not an ordinary person. There is also his own princess, who naturally can't swallow this breath.

The emperor's words made An Lan and Chu Qiaosi happy, which proved that the emperor was willing to be the master of their house.

"So please ask my father to make the decision for us, we must find out the murderer behind it, and give us justice, and most importantly, Anlan justice. She has done her best for the country and the people, but she is under the banner of the emperor's diligence and love for the people, if this matter is inconclusive, it will make everyone say that your father is incompetent in governing the government......"

Chu Qiaosi deliberately fanned the flames and made this matter more serious, and the emperor was full of anger in his heart, and called the director of the imperial dining room.

It took less than half an hour for the director of the imperial dining room to come from a place far away from the palace in a panic.

He was in charge of arranging meals for the emperor, and he never imagined that he would be summoned by the emperor suddenly, which caused him to be sincerely afraid, and when he saw the emperor, he knelt directly on the ground with weak legs.

"The slave knocks on the emperor and asks the emperor to ......" he instinctively complimented the emperor.

But at this time, the emperor was already anxious, where did he want him to say so much, but waved his hand to him and motioned him to get up and reply.

The director of the imperial dining room stood up and looked at the emperor in fear, completely unaware of what he had done.

Seeing his nervous appearance, Chu Qiaosi became displeased.

"Father is just looking for you to ask about the situation, you don't need to be afraid, I won't take your life." An Lan's words made the head of the imperial dining room instantly breathe a sigh of relief.

Since he won't be killed, of course he doesn't have to worry about it.

"If the emperor has anything he wants to ask, just ask, as long as the slave knows, he must know everything, and he will say everything." He stretched out his hand and took a few steps forward, clenching his fists slightly, showing his respect for the emperor.

His reaction satisfied the emperor's heart.

"The thing I want to ask you is, were you present when the princess brought the snack, and how did you make the snack? Who is responsible for the dim sum production? The emperor asked without hesitation.

When the emperor asked him this, the director of the imperial dining room was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to realize something.

"Back to the emperor, the dim sum in the imperial dining room is made by a special dim sum master, if I remember the day well, the princess sent the little girl to go an hour earlier, at that time had not yet started to work, only Gui Mama was on duty alone. At that time, the princess's girl also said that only the dim sum made by Mama Gui was the most delicious. ”

His words made the emperor suddenly realize something, and immediately asked people to bring Gui Mama to him.

Mama Gui is an elderly woman, and when she saw the emperor, she knelt on the ground.

"Well, no need to be polite. I ask you, did you ever leave while you were making dim sum? The emperor blurted out without hesitation.

An Lan had some admiration for the emperor, and the emperor did not suspect Mama Gui, which proved that he was indeed a smart person.

Mama Gui had reached the age when she was about to leave the palace, so there was no need to take such a big risk to do this.

"Back to the emperor, the slave maid never left when she made snacks, and the princess's little palace maid can prove it. At that time, she was in front of the slave and maid, and she had not left an inch, and she could testify. ”

Her words were methodical, and she looked like Mount Tai was overwhelmed but not chaotic, and it sounded like it was true.

Chu Qiaosi immediately called her little girl over, her little girl was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and when she saw the emperor, she instantly knelt on the ground.

"I ask you, when Gui Gui Mama was making dim sum, were you present to check the whole process?"

"Back to the emperor, the slave maid was indeed present to check the whole process, but someone in the middle came once, and that person seemed to be sending flour to Mama Gui. Because the flour used by Mama Gui was gone at the beginning, she did the latter process first, and waited until the person sent the flour over before starting the first process. ”
