Although Xiao Lingwei was grounded, she was not idle, and occasionally turned around and went to the Yang Mansion to chat with General Yang and inquire about the news in the court.

The court meeting is very lively these days, and ministers are impeached every day.

The so-called tree fell and everyone pushed it, and the three princes were suspected of assassinating the king, and his political enemies seized this opportunity to fiercely attack the forces of the three princes' faction, and there was an endless stream of people impeaching the three princes and their cronies every day.

Of course, the people of the Three Princes' faction are not without countermeasures, if you want to impeach, then I will accompany you.

As a result, each side impeached the other, and for a while, the impeachment notes were piled up with the emperor's imperial case.

In addition to inquiring about the news in the court, Xiao Lingwei also sent two little girls, Lanmei and Lanzhu, to walk around the Xiao Mansion and pay attention to the movements in the mansion.

Also, she used her not-so-exquisite cooking skills to make pastries that she could only make and send them to the Evergreen Academy.

Mama Gao walked into the main house with the pastry, "Old lady, Miss Six sent someone to bring pastries again, this time it is the flower cake you like." ”

Old Madam Xiao didn't look at it, she stroked the Buddha beads in her hand, and her tone was full of disdain, "With her craftsmanship, can she also make potpourri cakes?" ”

Mama Gao brought the pastry to Mrs. Xiao, "The old lady is wise, Miss Six really can't make authentic flower cakes, but the little girl who came said that Miss Six specially put the old lady You like four kinds of flowers, peach blossoms, peonies, osmanthus, and plum blossoms, which means that the four seasons are evergreen." ”

Old Madam Xiao glanced down, her face was ordinary, but a refreshing fragrance penetrated her nostrils.

She took a deep sniff, it smelled so good.

Seeing her moved, Mama Gao continued, "Miss Six calls this a simple potpourri cake, although it uses few materials, but the meaning is good.

"Old lady, you see, the meaning of this pastry is evergreen all year round, doesn't this echo the name of our yard?

"It seems that Miss Six is a pastry made with heart, old lady, you can taste it."

Old Madam Xiao held back the greed in her heart and snorted, "A pastry wants me to forgive her, hmph, don't think about it." ”

Mama Gao persuaded, "Old lady, Miss Six was just quick at that time, and she didn't mean to deliberately contradict you.

"In the past few days, Miss Six has personally cooked pastries for you every day, which is enough to show that Miss Six is sincerely repentant, so don't be angry.

"You didn't eat the pastries a few days ago, but they were all given to the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids ate them, and they all thought they were very delicious."

When Old Madam Xiao heard her say this, her throat moved, and she looked at the plate again.

Mama Gao handed the plate forward in a timely manner, "Old lady taste it, if you don't eat it, the slave can take it down and eat it." ”

Old Madam Xiao's eyes glared, "Bold, you dare to take my things before I speak." ”

Mama Gao smiled slightly, "The old lady didn't speak, and the slave didn't dare." ”

Old Madam Xiao's face softened slightly, wrapped a piece of pastry in a handkerchief, and took a bite slowly.

After chewing it, a sweet fragrance spreads in her mouth, and the pastry is soft and glutinous, which is exactly the taste she likes.

Delicious.

She took another bite and quickly finished a piece of pastry.

When Mama Gao saw this scene, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and she was going to tell Miss Six the good news later, which could be regarded as worthy of the gift that Miss Six gave her.

The emperor pointed to the mountains of folds on the table, and said to Wu Sikong angrily, "Look, in just the past few days, there have been so many excerpts of impeachment. ”

He picked up a book of excerpts, "This is an excerpt of the impeachment of the Auxiliary General for abuse of power." ”

Put it down and picked up another fold, "This is the excerpt of the impeachment of the town and the prince of the country for forcibly occupying the land of the people." ”

"This is the impeachment of Captain Liang for indiscriminately killing innocents."

"This is an excerpt from the history of impeachment and state assassination."

"This is"

The emperor suddenly stopped talking and threw the fold in his hand fiercely.

The fold fell at Wu Sikong's feet, he bent down to pick it up, opened it and looked at it, it was written that the three princes were impeached for the crime of rebellious and murderous kings.

He closed the fold, "Your Majesty, these will be handed over to the Imperial Historical Observatory for verification, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry." ”

The emperor was silent for a moment and asked, "How is the Mingyang Sect doing?" ”

Wu Sikong replied, "Back to Your Majesty, the stronghold that Xiao Lingwei said last time, except for one living mouth, everyone else committed suicide.

"And that thing that confessed alive is nothing of value, Chen guesses that he is a low-level killer who has not come into contact with the core class of the Mingyang Sect, so he doesn't know much."

He paused for a moment, and then said, "There are no remnants of the Mingyang Sect in the capital and nearby, although the minister has sent people to the southwest area to investigate, but it will take a while.

"In the past few days, there have been some bad rumors in the capital, Your Majesty, what should the three princes do?"

The emperor thought for a moment and muttered, "Let him think about it behind closed doors in the palace first, and then talk about it later." ”

Wu Sikong thought that it would be Hallomy Day soon, and if there was no substantial evidence at that time, I was afraid that the three princes would be released.

There was also the queen who thought the same as Wu Sikong, and at this time, after listening to the report of her confidant, her face became ugly.

"Since they are so slow to do things, then the palace will push them."

She beckoned to her confidant palace maid, and when the palace maid approached, she whispered a few words to her.

The next day, Yu Baolin went to the Heart Cultivation Hall in a panic, and it didn't take long for the emperor to walk out angrily.

The group came to Chen Cairen's palace in a majestic manner, and the emperor ordered "all the palace people to be arrested and severely tortured." ”

Chen Cairen walked out of the inner hall with his stomach up, and when he saw the emperor's menacing appearance, his heart couldn't help jumping.

"Your Majesty, peace of mind." Chen Cairen held the hand of the palace maid and saluted slowly.

Usually at this time, the emperor would have come forward to help her, and he would have spoken in time to let her not have to salute, how could it be like now, not only watching her salute with difficulty, but also looking at her as if he was going to eat people.

An ominous premonition rose in Chen Cairen's heart, and he finished the salute despite his discomfort, and then asked weakly, "I don't know what Your Majesty is doing today?" ”

The emperor made a look, and immediately a grandmother escorted the two palace maids beside Chen Cairen.

Chen Cairen saw this posture, his heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, and he hurriedly lowered his eyes to hide the panic in it.

It was only when only Chen Cairen and Yu Baolin were left in the main hall that the emperor asked, "Tell me honestly, whose child is in your belly?" ”

Chen Cairen raised his head in shock, "Naturally, it's Your Majesty." ”

Her gaze turned to Yu Baolin on the side, and said angrily, "Your Majesty, did someone say something to you?"

"Your Majesty, don't believe those words, she must be jealous that the concubine can conceive the dragon seed, so she made up those trumped-up lies to slander the concubine."

Yu Baolin seemed to be taken by her sharp gaze, and was so frightened that he leaned straight to the emperor's side, "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't lie to you"
