Calm was frightened by Kong Lingci's words, and when he lost his mind, the hot tea in his hand overturned, burned his hands, jumped up in pain, and inhaled the cold air.

Kong Lingci went to wipe her hands with scalding ointment, and said in a sad tone: "The Queen Mother didn't give me any promises, everything I did was willing, as long as it was for the emperor, I would do it." ”

"But he doesn't know you're doing things for him, he doesn't even know you as a person, are you stupid?" Calmly shouted dissatisfiedly.

"It's enough for me to know that I'm doing things for the person I love, I know that he's alive and well because of my efforts, that's enough for me, and I feel happy enough." Kong Lingci said in a low voice, with a smile between the corners of his eyebrows.

"Old Kong-" smiled calmly and bitterly, she had always thought she was shrewd, but she didn't know how to awaken Kong Lingci's thoughts.

"But I was wrong, I thought it was for his good, but it turned out to be for him, I can't forgive myself, I don't know how to remedy my mistakes, I can die for him, but I don't know how to die, in order to be worthy of him,

Calm down, I thought about it, the emperor died, I followed, I owe him in this life, and I will definitely pay him back as a cow and a horse in the next life. ”

Kong Lingci said resentfully.

Calmly and silently applied the ointment, completely out of words.

Kong Lingci's thoughts surprised her.

CalmLike most of us, we are always accustomed to finding happiness in others, but forgetting that the feeling of happiness has always been in ourselves.

"Calm down, are you planning to treat the emperor?" Kong Lingci asked her.

Nod calmly.

"Calm down, isn't it for you, the emperor's life or death is just a transaction, although you are gambling with the queen mother on your life, but even if the emperor is killed, the general will never watch you be killed, so for you, the emperor's life is not important at all, isn't it?"

Kong Lingci said with a crying voice.

Shook his head calmly and solemnly: "Lao Kong, you are wrong, the so-called doctor's parental heart, since he is my patient, I will definitely do my best to save him, and I will not change my heart to save people like this because it is a transaction or something." ”

Kong Lingci knelt in front of her.

Calmly helped her up, and shouted: "What are you doing here, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to do this." ”

Kong Lingci was about to speak, but the door was suddenly pushed open, and Ruan Meiling broke in one step.

Kong Lingci hurriedly wiped away her tears and avoided behind her, so as not to be seen by Ruan Meiling as abnormal.

"Meiling, what's so flustered?" Calmly got up and asked.

"Lord Si, it's amazing, just now Lord Shanggong accompanied the adults of Guanglu Temple to inspect the utensils of the ceremony, and the two incense burners made by our Si Si were not polished fine enough, and there were burrs on the edges, which pricked the fingers of an adult in Guanglu Temple to bleed.

The adults of Guanglu Temple were annoyed, and they were reprimanding Lord Shanggong for not being attentive enough and asking the Queen Mother to change people. ”

Ruan Meiling said hurriedly.

"Burrs on the edges? No, you can't! I polished the two incense burners myself, and I touched them hundreds of times, but I can't do it! Kong Lingci shouted.

"My good senior sister, that's what the words from over there say, what's the use of you yelling at me here!" Ruan Meiling clapped her hands and sighed.

"The adults of Guanglu Temple haven't left yet? Still yelling over there? Calmly asked.

Ruan Meiling nodded: "That's not the case, they are big, so naturally they can't talk to us, they are only looking for trouble from Lord Shanggong, as soon as they leave, it will be our bad luck." ”

Before Ruan Meiling finished speaking, she saw a female Shi panting and running in, and replied: "Lord Si, Lord Shanggong called you and Senior Sister Kong over, saying that it is fast, be careful of the head on the neck when it is late." ”

When Ruan Meiling heard this, she pulled her calm sleeve and asked in a trembling voice, "What should I do?" Can't you just go to death in the past? ”

Calmly grinned, spread his hands: "This is the so-called one plan that does not succeed in life, as long as she reigns for one day, we have to follow the bad luck for a day, there is nothing to be afraid of, the water is flooded, the soldiers are coming, I want to see what new tricks she can perform." ”

The two walked hand in hand into the Shanggong Bureau.

Before entering the hall, Kong Lingci took a calm hand and solemnly ordered: "Calm down, I did this thing, it has nothing to do with you, I will meet Zhao Yue later, don't you say anything, do you hear?" ”

Calm didn't want to argue with her at this time, so he nodded silently and pulled her into the main hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, he was calm but stunned.

Emperor Xiao actually sat on the upper seat!

Calm and Kong Lingci hurriedly knelt down to see the driver.

Emperor Xiao took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I was discussing the matter of the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens with the ministers in Guanglu Temple, and suddenly my imperial uncle ran away in tears, knelt down in front of me, and asked me to be the master for him, saying that someone in your Shanggong Bureau wanted to murder his old man."

I came over to see which female historian was so bold as to dare to poison his old man. ”

"Back to the emperor, in the past few days, Leng Sishe has been serving the emperor in the front palace, and has not participated in the production of the incense burner, it is all the negligence of the slave and maid, and all the crimes and punishments are borne by the slave and maid alone, and Leng Si has nothing to do."

Kong Lingci didn't wait to speak calmly, so he hurriedly said.

Emperor Xiao didn't even look at her, just looked calm, nodded and smiled: "This female history is righteous, but what she said is also the truth, you have been in the front palace for the past two days, and it has nothing to do with this matter.

Since she confessed, let's drag it out and beat it to death, so that I can call the wounds and tears of my old imperial uncle. ”

"The emperor is slow, Kong Lingci has been making tools for many years, how can an old man who has been doing tools for more than ten years make such a low-level mistake, even the surface of the incense burner is not smooth, doesn't it make people suspicious?"

Said calmly.

Emperor Xiao touched his chin and sighed: "In your opinion, someone is deliberately trying to frame her?" I just asked carefully, those two incense burners were personally carried by the people of your division.

After carrying it, it was locked in the back warehouse along with other utensils, and only Zhao Shanggong had the key to the warehouse. If someone planted a false accusation, this is unreasonable, right?

Could it be that Zhao Shanggong deliberately planted the spost? ”

"Your Majesty! If it is said that the palace is planted, it is even more of a joke, I only have the key to the treasury, and if something happens, it is naturally my hands and feet, no matter how stupid I am, I will not do such a bright evil thing! ”

Zhao Yue knelt on the ground and distinguished.

Emperor Xiao nodded: "You are right, how can there be such a stupid person in the world, get up, and don't do your business." “

"Although the key is only on Zhao Shanggong, it may not be that no one can enter the warehouse, maybe someone stole the key and went in to do something and return the key, and Zhao Shanggong didn't know anything about it."

Calm down.

"This is impossible, because the matter is important, the key has always been carried with the palace, and I dare not leave my body for a moment, even if I sleep, I will also press it under the pillow, and it will not be stolen again."

Zhao Yue said categorically.

"Okay, calm down, don't make senseless distinctions, pull that female history down, and this matter is over." Emperor Xiao waved his hand a little boredly and gave an order.

"Your Majesty, this female historian is called Kong Lingci, as the emperor said, she is a righteous woman, not only righteous, but also very affectionate, you take a good look at her, she is not such a careless person.

This matter has nothing to do with her, these two incense burners were made by me, because I was preoccupied with the affairs of the front palace, so I made this mistake, and she just took the blame for me. ”

Said calmly and hurriedly.

Emperor Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at Kong Lingci, obviously not interested, and looked away again, lowered his head to take a sip of tea, and said with a low wry smile to Sima Nan, who was standing beside him:

"You woman, it's really troublesome, how can there be so many innocent cases in this world, and it's just that someone is guilty, do you have to pull out a three, five, or six to finish it?"

Sima Nan was silent, his eyes were spread into the distance, and he didn't know what to think.

"Leng Sishe, this female history has already been recognized, why do you bother to make more trouble? I know that you are compassionate, but the matter is important, my imperial uncle is a daughter, and because of this, I have to give him an explanation, right? ”

Emperor Xiao put down the teacup and said gently.

"The slave just thinks that before the matter is clarified, you can't wronged a good person." Calm down.

"What's that, what's the hole, you raise your head, I ask you again, you have to tell the truth, did you polish these two incense burners yourself? Is it because of your negligence that you forgot to polish the top of the incense burner under the ears? ”

Emperor Xiao stretched out his finger and pointed at Kong Lingci and asked solemnly.

Kong Lingci raised his head slightly, looked at him, and nodded.

Emperor Xiao retracted his gaze and calmed down: "Look, I asked her twice, and she kept saying that, but you still have something to distinguish for her." ”

"Your Majesty, even if it is Kong Lingci's negligence, Leng Si will inevitably be guilty of dereliction of duty, and it is always her unfavorable supervision that caused the old prince to be injured.

Now that you are busy with government affairs, how can you have the leisure to take care of the trivial matters between these palace maids, and only put them in prison, and wait for the inner chamberlain to find out about this matter? Sima Nan said in a deep voice.

Emperor Xiao stared at him, a teasing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, got up, and stretched: "Also, I still have something to discuss with those masters in the military department, so I will leave it to you here." ”

After speaking, he took the two little eunuchs with him and left.

"Come, take these two women into the prison cell." Sima Nan coldly ordered the guards to be brought.

The guards dragged Calm and Kong Lingci out of the door.

Sima Nan then followed suit.

Zhao Yue sent them away respectfully, and the smug look on his face slowly bloomed, and he walked into the inner courtyard, where Concubine Ying was sitting there drinking tea and saw her come in, and smiled at her proudly:

"How? How is Hongu's strategy? injured the old emperor's uncle, even if Sima Nan supported her, it would be useless, even if she could save her life, if she wanted to return to the Shanggong Bureau, she couldn't do it. ”

"The mother is wise." Zhao Yue said in a flattering tone, and came over to help her change a new cup of tea.

"It's okay if I'm wise or not, you're also a smart person, otherwise this palace wouldn't have found you, and now I'm also a phoenix falling down the hill, being bullied by chickens, and going from that little slut to a high position, there's really nothing to do."

Concubine Ying looked cold and let out a long sigh.
