Chapter 173: Lifting the Ban
Royal Palace, inside the main hall.
Xiahou Rui sat on the dragon chair, and there were still several close ministers standing in the hall.
"During this time, King Jin has been honestly staying in the palace, Jing Zhaoyin, how is the case investigated?"
Xiahou Rui handed over the case of Xiahou Mo's collusion with the King of Dingxi to Lord Jingzhao Yin Fang to investigate.
Jing Zhaoyin, who was standing in the hall, couldn't shrink into the crack in the ground, how did he want to investigate this matter? There's no way to check it at all!
At that time, the second prince took people to the Jin King's Mansion to search and searched out the letter of collusion between the King of Jin and the King of Dingxi.
This kind of case mainly depends on what the emperor means, he just needs to do it according to the emperor's wishes, but the problem is that he doesn't know what the emperor is thinking.
"Your Majesty, Weichen kept asking people to check day and night, and interrogated many people in the Jin Palace, and learned that the cloak that found the evidence was from the hand of a maid named Xiaoxue."
Xiahou Rui looked at him and motioned for him to continue.
"This maid was bought from Renyazi by the housekeeper of the Jin Wangfu a few years ago, serving a girl named Liu Rumeng, this Liu Rumeng is the daughter of a deputy general who followed the King of Jin a few years ago, Xu was entrusted to the care of the King of Jin after his death, and he has been living in the Jin Palace."
"How did the cloak come out of Princess Jin's courtyard?"
"Wei Chen interrogated the subordinates of the Jin Palace, and learned that the cloak was given to the Jin princess by Liu Rumeng." When Jing Zhaoyin said this, he had a bold idea in his heart, combined with the various phenomena after King Jin was grounded, the emperor didn't seem to be as angry as he imagined about this matter, didn't it mean that the emperor actually felt that King Jin was innocent? !
Thinking like this, Jing Zhaoyin said again: "The emperor's ministers thought that it was likely that someone had bought Liu Rumeng and took the opportunity to wronged King Jin. ”
When the words fell, Jing Zhaoyin shut up, anyway, he also said what he should say, as for what the emperor thinks, it is not up to him to control.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Fang is reasonable, when Xiahou Sheng rebelled, it was the King of Jin who rushed back in time to save the driver, and Weichen didn't believe that the King of Jin colluded with Xiahou Sheng, and asked the emperor to return the innocence of King Jin." Prime Minister Nangong He stood up and said.
Zhen Bohou Sui Zheng sneered, he is the maiden family of Qin Guifei, naturally he is on Xiahou Kun's side, the phoenix card in Xiahou Kun's hand has not yet been hot, if Xiahou Mo gets rid of the crime, it is difficult to say who the phoenix card will be left in the end.
"Lord Fang's words are unfounded, can't they compare to those ironclad evidence? Your Majesty, according to the ministers, Liu Rumeng is the one who wants to marry the King of Jin, how can he harm the King of Jin? ”
Xiahou Rui leaned lazily on the dragon chair, and when he heard this, he asked Gonggong Yi to bring him hot tea.
"Then Liu Rumeng is still in the Jin Palace?"
Jing Zhaoyin said: "Back to the emperor, Princess Jin drove Liu Rumeng out of the mansion in a fit of anger. ”
Xia Hourui put the teacup down and rubbed his fingertips. "I see, this woman's heart is not right, such a big Jin Palace, it is not impossible for the King of Jin to have some omissions."
When Sui Zheng heard that the secret way was not good, the emperor believed that Xiahou Mo was innocent!
"The Emperor's ......"
Xiahou Rui raised his hand and stopped him.
"I know in my heart, the prince of Xiliang has also arrived today, and it is really unreasonable for the King of Jin to be grounded in the palace as a great hero of my Chu country, Gonggong Yi."
Father-in-law Yi hurriedly bowed forward. "The minions are here."
"Pass on my will and lift the grounding of King Jin, as for this case, Lord Fang, you continue to investigate."
"Yes, Wechen obeys."
Sui Zheng saw that Xiahou Rui had already decided that it was difficult to change, so he could only kneel down with the group unwillingly. "Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, the crown prince of Xiliang Kingdom has arrived, and now he is waiting outside the palace gate with the eldest prince."
"Please Prince Xiliangguo."
"Yes."
On the other side, the palace people who passed the decree also arrived at the Jin Palace.
When the maid came to report, Su Muge was going up to the pavilion, so she could only put down the things in her hand for the time being and go out to receive the order.
"Where has the prince gone?" Su Muge asked as he walked.
Yueru leaned over to Su Muge's side and whispered: "Zuoqiu, the prince is not in the house, and he asked the princess to go around." ”
Su Muge didn't feel much surprised by this, if those Praetorian Guards could really see Xiahou Mo, they would have ghosts.
"Hmm."
The people in the front yard methodically prepared everything.
Yueru helped Su Muge to step forward and kneel.
It was the newly accepted apprentice of Gonggong Yi who came to pass the message, and he looked relatively young, and he said curiously when he saw that Su Muge was the only one who came. "Princess, I don't know where the King of Jin is?"
Su Muge's face did not change and said: "The prince was infected with the cold yesterday, and the concubine was worried that the princess was not in his body so he didn't let him get up, if the father-in-law insisted on letting the prince come over, then the concubine would personally serve the prince to get up." ”
What Su Muge said was that this father-in-law asked Xiahou Mo to come over, not that Xiahou Mo had to come to receive the holy decree.
The father-in-law's face was a little ugly when he heard this, if he answered, it would probably offend King Jin.
He was just a small eunuch, and it was not easier for King Jin to kill him than it was to crush an ant.
"Since the prince is unwell, it is the same to hand over the holy decree to the princess."
After saying that, he opened the decree and began to pronounce it.
The general meaning of the holy decree is that the people of the Western Liang Kingdom and the Eastern Qi Kingdom want to come to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, and Xiahou Mo, as the prince of the Chu State, naturally wants to participate, and the holy decree does not mention the collusion between Xiahou Mo and Xiahou Sheng, that is to say, the grounding of the Jin Wangfu is solved.
"Thank you, long live my emperor, long live my emperor."
Su Muge received the holy decree and asked the housekeeper to send the person who announced the decree out.
"Take it and keep it."
Su Muge casually threw the holy decree to Yueru.
Yesterday, Xiahou Mo told her that the prince of Xiliang Kingdom would come to the capital today.
The crown prince of the Western Liang Kingdom has arrived, and the envoy of the Eastern Qi Kingdom should be soon.
"Niece and daughter-in-law, you are here."
Su Muge was about to go back to the pavilion, and saw her coming from the Nanyang Dynasty wearing a wide robe.
Xiahou Mo still underestimated the face of the King of Nanyang, even if the emperor asked him to go back to his Nanyang Mansion to live, but the King of Nanyang still ran to the Jin Palace, came early in the morning, and went back when it was dark, it had been several days.
Su Muge didn't care about him, just let people take care of him.
Su Muge stopped, but after a while, the king of Nanyang came closer.
"Niece and daughter-in-law, I said I was going to give you a gift, I forgot that I didn't bring anything last time, and I didn't sleep last night, so I thought about sending things today." King Nanyang took out an extremely ugly cloth bag from his body and shook it in front of Su Muge.
"Uncle Huang is too polite." Su Muge said perfunctorily.
As if he didn't know anything at all, King Nanyang opened the cloth bag and took out the contents inside.
When Su Muge saw the blood-red beads in his palms, he was slightly stunned.
The bead was about three centimeters in diameter, the whole body was blood red, there was no trace of impurities on it, and it was held by the King of Nanyang in his hand and emitted a strange ghostly light. "It's ......"
"Hehe, I haven't seen it, this is the blood bead that your imperial uncle and I got from the sea, this blood bead can avoid insects, snakes and beasts on your body, you take it into the mountains and forests, and the black blind man doesn't dare to approach you."
Su Muge frowned. "Beast Beads?"
King Nanyang looked puzzled. "What beast avoidance beads? Well, this name is good, then it's called the Beast Avoidance Bead, take it, this is a meeting gift from the emperor's uncle. ”
Su Muge once read in a book about animal avoidance beads, this kind of beads are extremely rare, and they are produced by a kind of shellfish that grows in the deep sea.
When the first discovery of the beast avoidance bead, everyone did not know that it had the effect of avoiding the beast, or it was accidentally known once, and later the world highly respected this kind of beast avoidance, and it can be said that it can not be bought with any amount of money.
The king of Nanyang gave her the beast avoidance bead, which can be said to be extremely valuable, and this gift is very dazzling for the queen mother's birthday.
"Uncle Huang, this gift is inevitably too expensive."
King Nanyang looked at the beads in his hand, and stuffed them into Su Mu's singer with an indifferent expression.
"It's just a bead, it's valuable if someone likes it, since this king gave it to you, you can take it obediently."
Su Muge looked at the beads in his hand and thanked King Nanyang very sincerely.
King Nanyang waved his hand indifferently and yawned. "Well, I didn't sleep well last night, this king wants to find a place to rest, you don't have to worry about this king." With that, King Nanyang turned around and left.
"Yueru."
"The slave is here."
"Find someone to watch, don't slack off the prince."
"Yes."
Suddenly got a baby, Su Muge was in a very good mood, she first returned to the Bamboo Fragrance Courtyard to put away the beast beads.
"Princess, Mrs. Pear and Mrs. Li ask to meet."
As soon as Su Muge put the things away, Mrs. Li and Wang Ziyu arrived.
It stands to reason that she should have gone to the Qingguo Mansion to give Wang Ziyu a follow-up examination, but she was grounded during this time, if she went, it would be a blatant disobedience, and if she was taken as a raft, it would be the Jin Palace.
The Qingguo Mansion definitely didn't want to wade into this troubled water, so this time it was just Mrs. Li and Wang Ziyu who came to the door alone.
"Let's bring someone to the Silver Garden."
"Yes."
Su Muge changed into a more homely dress before arriving at Yinyuan, Yinyuan is a small courtyard far away from the main courtyard and the front yard, and the degree of remoteness is the same as that of the pavilion, but it is only in the east and the west.
Mrs. Pear and Mrs. Pear are already waiting in the Silver Garden.
Seeing Su Muge walk in, the two of them got up and stepped forward to salute.
"See the princess."
Su Muge's gaze quickly swept over the two of them.
Wang Ziyu was supported by two maids, if it weren't for this, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand firmly, because she lowered her head, and Su Muge didn't see her face clearly.
Su Muge walked to the chair and sat down. "You don't have to be polite, get up and sit down."
"Thank you, Princess."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
As soon as Wang Ziyu sat down here, she couldn't stop coughing, and Su Muge saw her appearance clearly.
Her face was very sallow, her eyes were puffy, and even if she was dressed thick on such a cold day, she could still see the thinness of her body.
"Yueru, go and pour a cup of hot water for Mrs. Li."
"Yes."
Su Muge took out a red pill from his body and let Wang Ziyu eat it.
