Before Xiao Ti went out, he didn't forget to send someone to inform Yu Yuan, and tell her about the fact that he was going to enter the palace to face the saint, so that she could go home by herself today and not have to wait for him.

The old emperor is old, and his physical condition is not as good as before.

Before today's recital was finished, he felt tired, threw away the red pen, and was helped to lie on the couch for a while.

When the attendants came in to report that the king of Langjun was coming, the old emperor sat up.

Everyone stepped forward to serve the old emperor to change clothes and wash.

By the time he packed up and walked out, Xiao Ti had been waiting in the side hall for a while.

"Wechen meets the emperor."

The old emperor took the teacup from the eunuch's hand, drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then spoke slowly.

"I heard that you arrested a group of scholars today, what's going on?"

Xiao Ti told the ins and outs of the matter, and finally took out the confession and offered it with both hands.

The eunuch stepped forward to take the confession and forward it to the old emperor.

The old emperor narrowed his eyes, and it took a while to read all the contents of the confession.

He sneered: "It turns out that this matter was done by King Min, I treat him well on weekdays, but I didn't expect him to hide evil intentions!" ”

Xiao Ti: "Li Qiao's one-sided words alone can't convict King Min, and this matter has to be investigated again." ”

The old emperor put down his confession and commanded in a deep voice.

"No matter what means you use, you must get to the bottom of this case as soon as possible.

If those anti-poems were really the work of King Min, even if he was my own brother, I would not spare him!

Do you understand what I mean? ”

The last sentence was accentuated by him, and he said it in a particularly oppressive tone.

Xiao Ti lowered his eyes and bowed his head, and replied respectfully: "Weichen understands. ”

In recent years, the old emperor's suspicion has become more and more serious.

He was even suspicious of his own brothers, feeling that everyone was trying to plot against the dragon chair under him.

What he said was to imply that Xiao Ti could use this anti-poetry case to pull King Min into the water.

Xiao Ti even had some doubts that Li Qiao was deliberately arranged by the old emperor, in order to make King Min bear the charge of conspiracy.

He restrained his thoughts in time.

These things are not what he should think.

All he had to do was carry out the emperor's orders, and that's it.

After talking about business, the old emperor changed his words and suddenly asked.

"I heard that the eldest lady of Yu Shilang's family has been living in your house recently, how are you getting along?"

Xiao Ti: "Thanks to the emperor's concern, everything is fine with Weichen." ”

The old emperor smiled meaninglessly: "It seems that the rumors are true, you and that Yu Yuanyuan do have a deep relationship, so I can rest assured, if you have a chance in the future, you can bring her into the palace to show me and the Queen Mother." ”

Xiao Ti replied.

The old emperor had limited energy, but after chatting for a while, he looked tired.

Xiao Ti asked for his farewell.

"It's not early, and Weichen won't disturb His Majesty's rest."

The old emperor commanded the eunuchs beside him.

"Hasn't there been a batch of coconuts in the south lately? You have someone share a basket for the king to take home, so that he can try it too. ”

"Whoa."

Xiao Ti clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." ”

When he returned to the county king's mansion, it was just in time for dinner.

Yu Yuanyuan was very happy to learn that he had brought back a basket of coconuts.

"Coconut is a good thing, I'll stew coconut chicken for you later!"

She only ate coconuts before crossing over, and she has never eaten coconuts since she crossed over to the Dayan Dynasty.

In this era, transportation is inconvenient, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to transport fruits, and the transportation cost is too high.

Only the emperor was entitled to fresh coconuts from the southernmost part, and the common people had never even seen them.

Xiao Ti looked at her thoughtfully.

"Listening to your tone, you seem to have eaten coconut before?"
