99. I want to give her justice
Seeing that Li Mobai was so protective, it was quite difficult to splash the dirty water on Shen Ciwei immediately.
The queen, who had been silent, saw that the queen mother was losing and retreating, so she pretended to persuade peace: "Since the emperor was with Shen Guiren yesterday, Shen Guiren has no time to commit crimes, which shows his innocence." In that case...... The queen mother, the concubine felt that there was no need for the two palace maids to interrogate again. ”
"Even so, she is the last person to see Sun Guiren, and she is still the most suspicious."
The Queen Mother did not give up, and continued: "Sun Guiren's father was an important minister of the previous dynasty, and he was such a daughter, and he could not die well when he was sent to the palace, so the old minister was cold, and the emperor always had to give him an explanation." He already knew that the last person Sun Guiren saw was Shen Guiren, and he also knew that his daughter was harmed, so he was naturally full of doubts about Shen Guiren in his heart. It's just that I don't know, if the emperor said that to the mourning family to Lord Sun, would he think that the emperor was deliberately favoring his favorite concubine? ”
"Sun Guiren is also my concubine, I will not let her die in vain, I will thoroughly investigate this matter in Dali Temple, and I will definitely give Lord Sun an explanation."
"Thorough investigation? How many days do you want to check? The Queen Mother turned the Buddha beads in her hand and recited the Buddha before saying, "Can you have an explanation after the first seven years?" Or will it take three months? Or half a year? The emperor cares about the people's evaluation of you, and now that there is a lot of trouble in the imperial city, if you don't find the real culprit as soon as possible, I don't know what this matter will be like among the people. ”
The queen echoed: "What the Queen Mother said is extremely true, if the murder case at the feet of the Son of Heaven cannot be solved for a long time, it will inevitably cause criticism among the people." ”
Concubine Luo also added oil and vinegar at the right time, "All the sisters in the harem, except for Shen Guiren, almost all of the mother's family are officials in the court. Only when the emperor has dealt with the matter of Sun Guiren can he give the sisters' mothers and relatives a reassurance. ”
"What the queen and concubine Luo said is not unreasonable." The Queen Mother said slowly: "This matter cannot be delayed. At most, seven days, if Dali Temple can't find out who the real murderer is......" She glanced at Shen Ci with a cold gaze, "Then you can only hand over the suspected murderer, and settle the matter first." ”
"No!" Li Mobai refused almost the moment the Queen Mother's words fell, "The Queen Mother knows that Shen Guiren has been wronged, and she still wants me to hand her over?" Wouldn't it be for me to kill an innocent person with my own hands? ”
The mother and son quarreled, and the queen and the concubines added fuel to the fire.
The noisy sound was like a duck's call, which made Shen Ci worry and headaches.
She just wants to be a salted fish quietly, why is it so difficult!?
"Queen Mother, just seven days. These seven days the concubine will help Dali Temple to investigate the death of Sun Guiren, if the real culprit cannot be found after seven days, the concubine will personally give Sun an explanation. ”
Li Mobai stretched out his hand and grabbed her arm, and said sharply: "There is no place for you to speak here, you keep your mouth shut!" ”
"Emperor, since Shen Guiren himself said it, do you still want to stop it? This matter was settled, and the mourning family felt a headache all morning. The Queen Mother glanced at the queen, "You can take care of the rest yourself, and the mourning family will go back to rest first." ”
The concubines sent the Queen Mother back to the palace, and Li Mobai also took Shen Ciwu away from Fengluan Palace.
He poked Shen Ciwu's head very lightly with his fingers, "Are you filling it with paste?" The Queen Mother doesn't like you, obviously looking for your business, I helped you say something for a long time, you are good, you should do this in one sentence, are you tired of living? Seven days later, if you can't find the real culprit who murdered Sun Guiren, will you really want to take this crime on yourself? Murder pays for life, the Son of Heaven is punished for the same crime as the common people, this matter is related to the previous dynasty, even if I come forward, I may not be able to protect you at that time. ”
Shen Ci was worried when he saw that Li Mobai's handsome face became a bitter melon, and his heart suddenly warmed.
This is the first time she has been protected by Li Mobai and rescued her from the fire pit in front of the concubines.
In her life, no one has ever done this to her, both in modern times and in ancient times.
No matter what kind of heart Li Mobai had, she was very grateful to him for the things he had done for herself.
Compared with Li Mobai's sad face, she was very relaxed and could laugh, "Okay, don't worry about the emperor, I'll be fine." ”
"Will it be okay? It's hard for you to be stupid enough to protect yourself, let alone find out the real culprit? ”
"It's up to people~" Shen Ci looked at Li Mobai's eyes and said very seriously: "What's more, even if the Queen Mother doesn't force me like this, I will find out the cause of Sun Guiren's death." ”
"She has lived with me for so long, although she is not very close to me, but she is always one of the few concubines in the harem who does not have bad intentions and harm others."
"She died in vain, her bones are cold, I can't help it."
"Why are you looking at me like that? I know you're going to call me nosy and stupid. But I can't help it, I'm just that. ”
"Whether you call me White Lotus, or call me a, in short, I want to give her justice."
Listening to Shen Ciwu's long speech, Li Mobai seemed to see the light from her.
It's not that she doesn't know how to protect herself, and it's not that she doesn't know how to calculate others with her heart.
On the contrary, she has that strange system assistance, if she wants to calculate, the entire harem and even the entire former dynasty, maybe no one is her opponent.
So there is only one reason behind her always doing many stupid things, and that is that she is really kind.
Seeing her like this, Li Mobai couldn't bear to accuse her of anything.
"Maybe you're right." He smiled, "I promise you that I will definitely return your innocence." Don't worry, I'm here, and I won't let you have anything to do. ”
As soon as he spoke, he realized that something was wrong, and he could only hide his embarrassment with an unnatural coughing sound, "Don't get me wrong, I mean ......"
"I know, I know, I'm the emperor's undercover agent! If I have something that is long and short, won't there be even a credible and usable person around the emperor? ”
Li Mobai smiled with relief, "You are smart." Investigate the matter of Sun Guiren, if you need anything, just tell me. All the people in the entire Imperial City, for this matter, I can let them move at your disposal. But I have one request. You have to promise me that from now on, you will not be allowed to do such a fatal foolish thing as soon as your head is hot. ”
[I'm going? Is this giving me half of the imperial power? The Dog Emperor is really big-hearted......]
Shen Ci was stunned for a moment, and said continuously: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Li Mobai stretched out a hand, palm facing her.
Shen Ci was worried and didn't know, "What does the emperor mean?" ”
"Make a high-five contract, if you dare to have a next time, I will reward you with a board."
It turns out that this was also practiced in ancient times?
So, Shen Ci didn't think about it, so he high-fived Li Mobai......
She completely forgot that she had just taken the pill before the effect had passed, and this high-five knocked Li Mobai more than ten meters away and landed in a filthy quagmire in the corner.
She exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly ran forward.
saw Li Mobai struggling to get up in the mire, his face covered with mud, like an African native.
She looked at Li Mobai with a smile, "The emperor is fine......
Li Mobai glared at her with resentment on his face, and roared at her angrily: "Shen Ci is worried!! You did it on purpose!!! ”
