Two hundred and ninety-nine: Testimony

Besides, the things rewarded by the emperor can't be poisonous, if Su Yunyao and the others dare to do anything about this imperial gift, it will be unless it is greasy.

Thinking of this, Cao Qianlian also gladly accepted, "Put it here, it's rare that Mother Yuan is still thinking about my Yingxiaju, and I haven't sent such good things a few times on weekdays." ”

In fact, it's not that Yuan's mother doesn't give it, it's really pitiful that there are few seafood in winter, and the seafood in her kitchen is eaten by Cao Qianlian all day long, so Su Yao has to pull her skin.

Now Cao Qianlian's life is also nourishing, Su Huiyao sends some silver coins and jewelry from time to time, I heard that they are all smuggled out, this Cao Qianlian also gladly accepts, as well as the Su family's case silver, I have nothing to do and go to the account to grab some points, there is no shortage of good food and drink, and the silk and satin are also renewed every day.

Knowing that Cao Qianlian happily accepted the seafood handed over from the kitchen, Su Yunyao was a little helpless, "Look, what am I talking about, her person is not enough to swallow elephants, and she can't get all she wants immediately, so a greedy person can let go of the seafood in his mouth?" ”

"The girl is too much." Songyin said.

"It's not that I know, but I understand, understand what kind of person she is, understand why she lets down her guard, and why she has to accept it."

Lisheng washed two clean handkerchiefs, put them on the back of the chair, and said while busy, "Our girl is a capable person, you can do everything in the world without leaving home, maybe after a while, someone will be tired and begging you to go out of the mountain." ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Su Yunyao smiled strangely and said, "Let outsiders listen to it, they will laugh their teeth off." ”

"No one will laugh at the girl, our girl is smart!"

After resting in bed for two days, Su Yunyao was finally able to go out and sit in the courtyard wearing a short blue-purple cloak.

Last year, someone planted two plum trees in Qinzhuxuan, and now it is not yet time for them to bloom, so it is estimated that they will have to wait until the next year.

The weather is not too cold, after all, it has just entered winter, and the ground is white and brown, and a lot of snow has been swept away, revealing the original color of the ground.

Fluttershy's medicine is still in the past, in Cao Qianlian's old tonic, but it doesn't work much.

"What's going on, shouldn't you have had symptoms a long time ago?" Su Moyao asked.

Su Yunyao paused and said, "Don't worry, that recipe has been seen by the third lady, it must work, wait a few days." ”

In fact, it's not, it's Cao Qianlian who has eaten so well for a while, drank some decoction that causes qi and blood deficiency, and then made up for it with big fish and meat, thinking that it would be effective at that time, which was not appropriate.

"Girl!" Huaixiang ran in from outside, and hurriedly said in a rough air, "Girl, something is wrong!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the south to treat the floods before, didn't some silver grain and grass be robbed? Now, out of nowhere, a group of refugees from the south has come out of nowhere, saying that they have traveled thousands of miles to correct His Royal Highness the Prince, saying that those grain, grass and silver have been transported by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from other roads to countries further south. ”

"What?" Su Moyao was taken aback: "How is that possible?" ”

"It's true, a few of the refugees claimed to have seen it with their own eyes, and they met a retinite next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince whispering to people from the country next to him, and then that person left with several carts of things, not only that, but the refugees were discovered by His Royal Highness the Prince's entourage and were killed many times, only those few people escaped."

"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! Su Yunyao sneered and said, "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do that? Do you plan to unite with other countries to rebel? He himself is the crown prince, the successor to the throne, and sooner or later he will be able to ascend to the throne, why should he unite with other countries, isn't that enough to support? ”

Huai Xiang continued, "Those refugees entered Xunjing in a huge way, I heard that a few of them were chased and killed by the men in black and died on the way, and some died not long after entering Xunjing, and everyone said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did it, saying that he was a witness to destruction. ”

"What about when you enter Xunjing? Where are they now? ”

"I heard... They entered the palace, and the emperor felt that this matter had too much impact, so he took them all into the palace, saying that he wanted to inquire carefully. ”

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really wants to kill them, there will be no shortage of people available to him, how can those old, weak, sick and disabled people still form such a team? They should have been killed outside the capital of Xunjing, unless someone escorted them over, or the person who killed them was not the prince's person at all, it was the Lin family! It's the King of Heng! Those people were sent by the Lin family at all, or they were deceived by the Lin family. ”

"Girl, be quiet." Lisheng hurriedly persuaded.

Su Yunyao was angry, "A brute who can only use such despicable means!" ”

"That's... So what now? Su Moyao asked.

"I can only wait for the news in the palace to come out, and now I am afraid that the emperor is unwilling to believe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince anymore, this time... It is estimated that it is hanging. ”

In the afternoon of the next day, news really came, but this news made Su Yunyao feel very disappointed.

There are the testimonies of those refugees who have been arranged in the court, as well as the sentences of the Lin family's henchmen, the emperor really believes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince disregarded the lives of the refugees and sent them to other countries with their life-saving food and silver, trying to build weapons to recruit troops and horses, and the cavalry rebelled.

Bai Jingyue hurriedly came out and said, "Your Majesty! At the beginning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the south to deal with the disaster, which was highly recommended by the Lin family, and it was not easy for the minister to look at it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a mind and a strategy This minister knows, but the minister knows better that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves His Majesty and protects His Majesty's heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince helps His Majesty deal with political affairs in the East Palace, and there has never been a mistake, why did it go wrong when you arrived in the south? Why did Taiwei Lin strongly recommend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go to the south? To say that there is no right or wrong in this, the minister will never believe it. ”

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Taiwei Lin stood up first, "What Dingguo Gong said is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is open-minded and strategic, so naturally he can't be separated from the rebellion, only people who are strategic enough dare to consider that kind of thing, Your Majesty, the minister is also curious, why the front foot just came out of the grain, grass and silver transported by His Royal Highness the Prince, and then these refugees came by trekking through mountains and rivers, if there is no big grievance, how can this be?" Moreover, every word of the Duke of Dingguo pointed to the minister's recommendation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go to the south, that is because the minister felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the prince of the country, and he should go through more training and experience, and there were thousands or even tens of thousands of refugees in the south if there was a problem with the imperial court, should he not contribute as a middle palace? ”

The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, his hands were clenched tightly, his face was like iron, gloomy and terrifying.

The prince was confined for reflection, and no one was allowed to see him until the case was revealed.

Cheng Tao was also called into the palace, because he went to the south with the prince at the beginning, so it was normal to ask him to pass the word.

Sheng Guizhi was not at ease, she always felt that the Lin family's game of chess this time was too big, it seemed that not only the prince, but even Cheng Tao might not be able to be saved.

At the beginning, there was a robbery of grain, grass and silver, and everyone only thought that it was a disadvantage given by the Lin family, but now it seems that how can this be the case? It's clear that the Lin family has designed a trap waiting for people to jump in! Attempting to rebel is a big crime, even if it is a prince, it will be imprisoned for life, and at worst beheaded.

Su Yunyao was so frightened that she forgot to breathe after hearing this, grabbed Huaixiang's hand and asked repeatedly, "Is this true?" The crown prince was locked up in confinement, and my cousin also entered the palace? ”

"It's true, girl, now that the whole of Kyoto knows these things, many people have already shouted outside the palace that the prince is abolished."

"No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has helped the emperor to govern the country well over the years, and those people will not forget the benefits of the beginning, I think it is that Taiwei Lin wants to force the emperor to make a decision, this is using the mouths of the common people to put a knife on the neck of His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"But there is no explanation for this matter after all, can the emperor really abolish the crown prince?" Su Jinyao leaned over and asked.

"Not necessarily, there is no explanation, in fact, there is a statement, the lives of refugees are fate, and the Lin family is just fanning the flames, whether those people are deceived or threatened, they have already said words that are unfavorable to the prince, even if His Royal Highness the prince does not admit it, there is no way."

"Why? That's so unfair! ”

"Sister Jiu, you are too simple, it is not one or two who come to accuse His Royal Highness the Prince, but hundreds of people who have died and lost, this group of people described the scene vividly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was completely unprepared, this is a dumb loss, who will believe what he says when he turns back? It's just a group of people who tried their best to accuse, a group of people who didn't admit it, and turned over and over the cowhide lawsuits, at this time, the entire Xunjing and even the people outside Xunjing knew about it, the matter is getting bigger and bigger, even if the emperor has a heart to protect it, it is useless, and he can still execute all the refugees who come to accuse His Royal Highness the Prince? At that time, he will lose the hearts of the people, on the contrary, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, he can reduce the damage by abolishing the prince. ”

"It's... This is unreasonable! Su Jinyao was very angry.

"Taiwei Lin just grabbed this point, the people are all jealous and hateful, and they all express their thoughts arbitrarily without knowing the truth, this is all for His Royal Highness the Prince, not to mention His Royal Highness the Prince's attempt to rebel, I don't know if the emperor believes it or not, if he really believes it, I'm afraid something big will happen."

Now Su Yunyao can't calm down anymore.

When he went to court the next day, he was still talking about this matter, and when he went home from the next court, Su Yao was nervous, and he was sweating in the winter.

The old lady, Qin Manhuai, and Su Yao discussed the matter in Chang Xi Zhai.

"Yao'er, you have seen the officialdom thoroughly, who do you think is right and wrong in this matter?" The old lady asked.

"Don't think about it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has fallen into a trap." Su Yao sighed, "The person who set this trap is ruthless and accurate, he knows that the emperor cares about the people the most, knows that the emperor cares about the people's hearts the most, and knows that the emperor will be angry if he hears that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is trying to rebel, just these few things are enough to bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince down." ”
