After they left, Chu Yaocen spoke: "Little fox, I still think that killing your mother's mother is not like the Yin family." ”

Qingdi twisted his brows and said, "Why did you say it's not the Yin family?" They heard it with their own ears. ”

"That jade pendant, that jade pendant tattooed with lotus flowers, do you still remember?" Chu Yaocen said busily.

"Oh, this jade pendant is in my jewelry box." Qingdi heard Chu Yaocen mention the jade pendant, looked up at him, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but say: "Do you think that if the murderer was really Yin's, she wouldn't be so stupid to throw her own jade pendant there?" ”

Chu Yaocen nodded: "Yes, first of all, the Yin family kills people, and they can't kill themselves at all, if she doesn't go, it will be useless if the thing is thrown on the spot." Besides, she would never give her personal jade pendant to the killers, and there was no reason to give it to them. So this jade pendant appeared at the scene, and it was picked up by you, no matter how you say it, you are suspected of deliberately blaming the Yin family. ”

Qingdi understood Chu Yaocen's logic and said: "Yaocen, you told me these words before, that is, I also thought so, I felt that the Yin family must have been blamed, and I also felt that the person who really killed my mother was the Shen family, but after the death of the Shen family, the appearance of that Yang Xin pushed all the cause and effect onto the Yin family...... I don't know how much the Yin clan did to kill my mother. But as I said just now, she will never be able to get out of the relationship, and I will never spare her. ”

Chu Yaocen vaguely felt that the real murderer behind this incident must have understood everything from the beginning, and began to control Qingdi from the moment she entered the Prime Minister's Mansion...... But if you think about it carefully, who can have this ability, I hope I think too much.

He immediately smiled and rubbed Qingdi's hair, and said, "Okay, when you were in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she bullied you so much, and now it's time to settle accounts after the autumn." But let's get Mi'er back for now. ”

Qingdi laughed and nodded slightly.

I thought that Yu'er agreed to come back, but Yin Jixuan went to tell the Yin family that Yu'er should return to Qingdi and Chu Yaocen soon, but after waiting for many days, there was still no news from Yu'er. After looking for a kill and inquiring, I learned that the Yin family didn't even want to listen to Yin Jixuan's words, and still held Yu'er in her hands, and her purpose was also very clear, that is, to keep Yu'er to threaten Qingdi in the future.

After thinking about it, Qingdi really had only one way, that is, to ask the emperor for mercy, and he would open his mouth and let Yu'er go back to her. Coincidentally, at this time, the wine made last summer can also be drunk, and Qingdi can take the opportunity to enter the palace to face the saint.

However, as soon as she entered the palace, she had not yet seen the emperor, so she was intercepted by the imperial concubine first, Qingdi knew that it was the imperial concubine who poisoned her before, and now she still had palpitations when she saw her, and hurriedly said to her: "Niangniang, I will never go to see His Royal Highness the prince when I enter the palace this time, I just want to hand over this jar of wine to His Majesty, and then I will leave the palace quickly." ”

The imperial concubine's face froze, knowing that it must have been Chu Yaocen who told Qingdi about her poisoning, and Qingdi now has a gap in her heart and no longer trusts her. She was silent for a long time before she smiled, went over to take Qingdi's hand and said, "Qingdi, why are you suddenly so separated from me?" I heard Yaocen say that you are sick, and I plan to send someone to see you, but I have never had a chance. Now that I see you appear in front of me alive, my heart has finally let go. Your Majesty has just left the court, and it is estimated that you will have to discuss with the ministers, so you will go with me to sit there and drink tea first. ”

Qingdi raised her eyes and looked at the imperial concubine, and couldn't help but think that when she first met her, she had helped herself many times and protected herself everywhere, at that time she was really moved, and she really felt that this imperial concubine was as good to her as a big sister. But then, so many things happened, and many people changed...... Maybe it's not that it's changed, it's just that she suddenly understood.

But she can't blame the imperial concubine, which woman in this palace doesn't live for herself?

"No need, the young girl in the family is sick, and after I finish offering wine, I will hurry back to take care of her." Qingdi politely declined.

"Is the youngest girl in the family sick?" The imperial concubine thought about it for a long time before she remembered the daughter that Qingdi adopted from the dead maid, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "I also thought about it for a while, and I said when you gave birth to the daughter, and then I remembered that you brought it from that maid." She's sick, just send a doctor to take care of her, what are you worried about, and it's not your own. ”

Qingdi smiled coldly, thinking of the imperial concubine's attitude towards the prince, she didn't react, so she said: "Then according to what Niangniang said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not your own child, if he is sick, you won't care about her if he dies?" ”

As soon as the imperial concubine heard this, her face immediately turned cold, Qingdi laughed secretly in her heart, and then hurriedly said: "Imperial concubine Niangniang, I have no intention of offending, yes...... It's a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue ......"

The imperial concubine squinted her eyes, she didn't let Yin Sheng and Qingdi have too much contact before, because she felt that Qingdi was simple-minded, and Yin Sheng, a child, was just a simple child on the surface, but in fact it was unfathomable, God knows what he said in front of Qingdi, it would affect Qingdi's mind. And Chu Yaocen has now been poisoned by this green flute, what she said has greatly affected Chu Yaocen's thoughts, and it will be difficult to use Chu Yaocen to do anything in the future.

She had been setting it up for so long, and she couldn't let this inconsequential little woman spoil it. If there is really no other way, then she can only get rid of her.

The imperial concubine smiled again on her face and said, "It's not in the way, and my aunt didn't go to her heart." Since you don't have time to go to me today, let's wait. ”

The imperial concubine patted Qingdi's hand lightly, and then turned around to leave.

I don't know if the "aunt" in the mouth of the imperial concubine just now moved Qingdi, Qingdi looked at her back and felt a little pitiful...... In fact, if you think about it carefully, she was really good to herself before, but now there are some signs of rebellion, but it is just because she has too much contact with the prince. She hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly caught up with the imperial concubine and said: "Niangniang, Qingdi speaks relatively straightforwardly and often makes people angry, but I hope that this time Niangniang can also be me, because I always remember that when I was in the Xiangfu and in the Chu family, my aunt was kind to me, I Qingdi loves and hates clearly, and I absolutely want to repay those who are good to me." ”

The imperial concubine laughed out loud and said to Qingdi: "Silly boy, what are you nervous about, I'm not angry." ”

Qingdi breathed a sigh of relief on the surface, and the imperial concubine smiled and comforted her a few words, and after speaking, the two said goodbye again.

It's just that Qingdi didn't see it, and as soon as the imperial concubine's face turned around, the smile on her face suddenly dropped.

She stood there for a while, and then hurried to bring the wine to the emperor, who could not wait to taste it on the spot, and praised it without stopping. Qingdi was secretly happy in his heart, and took advantage of the emperor's joy to open his mouth to talk about the matter of Yu'er, but at this time, a eunuch suddenly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Ye asks to see you." ”

When the emperor heard this, he said to Qingdi: "Your wine is good, and I will reward you." But now I still have state affairs to discuss, so you go back first, and bring in more grapes and wine, so that I will be free in the future, and then I will reward you well. ”

Qingdi listened, so he had to swallow the words in his mouth, and wait for the next time he sent wine to the palace, he would tell the emperor about Yu'er. She thanked the emperor and withdrew.

The Lord Ye who came in later was also an important minister of the court who was still loyal to the old emperor, named Ye Cheng, and he was one of the few neutral parties. When he came in, he said: "Your Majesty, great joy, General Feng Lingchen has been like a bamboo all the way, and he has pacified the border war, and I heard that he will arrive in the imperial city soon." ”

"Haha, I know that Feng Lingchen will definitely not live up to my expectations."

"It's just ......" Ye Cheng hesitated for a long time and said: "Your Majesty, after General Feng left, there was only that matter of Prime Minister Feng, if General Feng knew that His Majesty would give Feng Boyang to ...... Will you resent Your Majesty? ”

The emperor waved his hand and said, "No, Feng Ling is loyal to this Li country, not his father, and I have this confidence in Feng Ling. Besides, didn't I put his father to death either? By the way, last time I asked you to pay attention to Feng Boyang occasionally, do you still have any news about him? ”

Ye Cheng suddenly looked puzzled, and said: "This matter is also strange, the temple caught fire that day, I heard that many beggars were burned to death, some people said that Feng Boyang was also included, but his subordinates sent people to search for a long time, but they did not find Feng Boyang's body, it is estimated that he escaped." But Feng Boyang. There is no way to get out of the city at all, and he can't be seen in the city, and the lower officials don't know whether this Feng Boyang is dead or not, and if he is not dead, where he went. ”

The emperor frowned slightly, and finally waved his hand and said, "It's not in the way, whether he is dead or not, just like that, it will definitely not be overturned...... Ahem......"

Before the emperor finished speaking, he coughed again, and the eunuch who was waiting beside him hurriedly sent a glass of water. The old emperor drank water and coughed for a while before recovering.

Seeing the emperor like this, Ye Cheng couldn't help but be secretly worried in his heart, the emperor's body is not as good as day by day, but the prince is still so young that he is completely unable to govern, in case the old emperor dies, several princes are not honest, and they are bound to make some moves. The country of Li, which has been calm for decades, is estimated to usher in a storm.

Fortunately, Feng Lingchen is about to come back, if Feng Lingchen is really as the emperor said, he is absolutely loyal to the Li State, then maybe, with the strength in his hands, he can also make a few princes jealous, so that the prince can succeed to the throne smoothly.

The emperor coughed for a long time before he said to Ye Cheng: "Aiqing, I am a little unwell today, you can go back first." ”

"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body!" Ye Cheng said a word, then got up and went back.

After he left, the old emperor looked at the blood stains on his palm, sighed, clenched his fists, and said to the eunuch beside him: "You go and call Sheng'er." ”
