Chapter 13: Anger
When Xiao Zaiyang arrived at the scene of the incident, He Qianwei was still standing in the four-corner pavilion, and the warrant from the East Palace was hung on her waist by her, dangling between movements with the cascading skirt.
She put her hands in her sleeves and was leaning on the eaves pillar to look at the scenery, obviously not moving, but always attracting people's eyes to the side face as white as jade.
If you piece this figure together with the surrounding scenery, I am afraid that it is a beautiful scenery that can be painted in itself.
It's the choking sound from the middle of the lake that really destroys the beauty.
Xiao Zaiyang temporarily took his eyes away from He Qianwei, and glanced at Lin Qingyan, who was sobbing with her shoulders around her from a few steps away.
When Lin Qingyan was just kicked into the lake, she still didn't forget her original intention and scolded for a while, but unfortunately everyone was pressed and didn't dare to go up to save people, she told the deaf in the final analysis.
After a while, Lin Qingyan's inexplicable arrogance seemed to be doused by the lake, and she didn't make a sound at all, and then she cried in fear, and she couldn't stop it.
Xiao Zaiyang didn't know about the twists and turns, but he didn't mean to explore, he just asked Ji Xiu to find someone to scoop Lin Qingyan up.
Ji Xiu, who was lively, knew his master's thoughts well, and opened his mouth to come: "Why did Miss Lin do this? It's just a stumbling overboard, and there are naturally elderly grandmothers in the palace who can rescue you, and there will never be any damage to your reputation. ”
On the one hand, he commanded the people who did not dare to act because of He Qianwei's intimidation, and on the other hand, he lightly nailed Lin Qingyan to death under the name of falling into the water, but he also smiled heartily and worriedly: "Why don't you save the girl soon?" Who can afford to go wrong! ”
Hearing this, He Qianwei turned around and stared at the two grandmothers who went to fish for a long time, and there was a momentum that she was going to rush over in the next second and add a few more people to the lake.
Fortunately, she didn't do it after all, but waited until Xiao Zaiyang came over, stretched out her hand and nodded herself, and pointed to Lin Qingyan, who was wrapped in a robe, and said in a low voice: "I did it." ”
He Qianwei's eyes were clear and calm, but Xiao Zaiyang felt that her appearance was as if she had returned to before, when she asked him if he could talk alone in Yaoguang Palace.
It's like a brief silence when the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.
He Qianwei suddenly couldn't say any more, turned her head away, and muttered: "You said it yourself." ”
“…… If you are wronged, you have to take revenge on the spot, and you don't have to endure it. ”
Xiao Zaiyang saw her inexplicably cowering, and his heart was quite unhappy, but he suppressed his emotions and talked to her: "Well, I said it." ”
He replied, hesitated for a moment as he raised his hand over her head, bypassed the hairpin held in place by the hairpin, rubbed the girl's head steadily, and praised, "Well done." ”
He Qianwei still lowered her head, but her hand tightly grasped Xiao Zaiyang's sleeve, and the force was terrifying.
If there was no one else, she would have wanted to throw herself into his arms and cry.
Lin Qingyan's matter did not make any waves in the palace.
When the little eunuch who was ordered by He Qianwei came over, Xiao Zaiyang, who learned about the incident, directly left everyone in the upper study first, and even specially transferred a few royal guards from the imperial study next door to guard it.
As for the palace people present at the time, it couldn't be easier to seal their mouths.
Don't get me wrong, Xiao Zaiyang is really a virtuous prince, and the singer has no habit of killing indiscriminately.
What can be solved with a gag order, there is really no need to fight and kill - in a place like the study, the emperor doesn't know how many of his own people are put in it, why bother to wash the Dragon King Temple.
However, there is no need for Lin Qingyan to leave the palace in a short time.
Originally, her words and deeds were enough for the two big Buddhas to ponder how to deal with them, not to mention that they found something wrong when the imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse later.
The old lady who had been boiled in the palace only closed the medicine box at that time, prevaricated with a smile, and then immediately turned left and went straight to the imperial study.
In the imperial study, the emperor sat steadily, holding his head to see his son, who was so biased that he had nothing to say, trying his best to make the little girl happy.
The emperor was also relieved, but He Qianwei didn't eat this at all, and was very restrained throughout the whole process, and finally closed his mouth in Xiao Zaiyang's increasingly unkind gaze and retreated.
Tang Zhengde served a cup of tea and a few snacks at the right time.
Hengzhu himself couldn't interject, the emperor simply took a sip of tea and chewed a few candied fruits, and watched the play in his free time while waiting for the imperial doctor sent to finish the pulse and reply.
As he watched, he was amazed in his heart.
It's true that his son has grown up so big and is quite filial to himself, but his attitude has never been as obedient as he is now, and he can even say that he has no temper at all.
For example, after picking on countless pastries and disgusting this behavior, if the emperor himself does it, Xiao Zaiyang can just endure it, but he is determined to mock a few words in a weird manner, and he has several rounds of mouth cannon with his father.
But He Qianwei made it completely different, this bastard boy not only had no temper, but he didn't even drop half a point from the smile on the corner of his lips, but waved his hand and asked someone to change to a new one.
What a big mistake.
The emperor sighed inexplicably in his heart, and after looking back, he felt that it was not right, but before he could think about it, the old lady doctor who arrived in a hurry had already opened the door of the imperial study and said hello.
Okay, there are a total of three masters present, two are sulking and coaxing people, and one is eating melon seeds to watch the play, and now they all coughed and sat up straight, looking cold and serious.
…… Should I say it, it's no wonder that there is a feeling of a family entering a door.
Ji Xiu thought silently, raised his head and looked at Tang Zhengde next to the throne.
It seems that he is not alone.
"Miss Lin's pulse is really weird, and the old minister has never seen such a chaotic situation in his years of practicing medicine."
After the old lady doctor finished speaking, he went straight to the point, and the first sentence made the others raise their eyebrows.
On the contrary, the old lady frowned, folded her hands and bowed, and said, "But this pulse has not never appeared......
He raised his head again, his tone was unclear, and he had a bit of a taste of words and meanings: "In the medical case of the Tai Hospital, the pulse that is almost the same as it has been recorded, and the patient's performance is that he is easy to get angry and even lose his mind, and he has done things that kill others. ”
The emperor just took a sip of tea, and was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Drunk?" ”
"Exactly."
The emperor and the imperial physician began to talk about the topic as if no one was around.
There were only a few people in the imperial study at this time, and the two old gods who had reached the status of confidants were squinting and not saying a word, except for He Qianwei and Xiao Zaiyang, but they started talking by themselves and talked in a low voice.
He Qianwei was the first to speak: "What is drunk?" ”
Xiao Zaiyang subconsciously clenched the handrail when he heard this name, and when asked, he also lowered his voice and explained: "In the first few years when my father first ascended the throne, this kind of drunkenness was popular in the bazaar and in the court. ”
He thought about it, but still told the details: "Drunken is powdered, but it is not brewed and drunk, but put it under the mouth and nose and then inhale it. ”
So weird? He Qianwei was very puzzled, but seeing that Xiao Zaiyang seemed to have something to say, she didn't interrupt him, but continued to listen.
"The name of the drunken is good, and the smokers also said that there is a fairyland at first, but then it gradually languished, and they have to smoke it several times a day. In the end, some people even went crazy because they couldn't buy a free drunk because they had spent all their money, and killed people on the street to grab money. ”
At that time, the government and the opposition were in a panic, and there were even rumors that the people were punished for being unkind to the king.
The emperor was naturally furious, ordered a thorough investigation, and successively closed an unknown number of shops selling drunken drunkenness, and even found out the head of the Huns.
It happened that the Huns came to attack at that time, and He Xiuzhu took the initiative to ask for war, and this time he was stationed in Wancheng and never returned to the capital.
As soon as this came out, the spearhead was naturally turned to the Huns, and the rumors were self-defeating, but only the emperor, the crown prince and several confidants knew that the drunkenness was just the possibility of being sealed, but the source was not found.
However, there is no need to talk to He Qianwei about this, so Xiao Zaiyang only roughly mentioned the impact of being drunk, and said: "Drunken should not have happened again...... But Lin Qingyan is acting absurdly like this today because she is drunk. ”
He Qianwei listened all the way, and she understood the relationship between Xiaoyaodrunk and Lin Qingyan.
Things have developed to such a situation that she can no longer interfere in the detailed investigation, so she simply doesn't think about it anymore, and only focuses on Lin Qingyan herself.
She bit her lip, a little sadness and apology rose between her eyebrows, and asked, "So, am I going too far?" She didn't mean to ...... either."
Xiao Zaiyang was stunned.
After understanding the meaning of these words, he shook his head: "The influence of drunkenness is limited, that is, it is unavoidable to make people sluggish, but if there are no other thoughts in people's hearts, they will not be tempted by it to do shocking things." ”
…… That's really, wronged, but not completely wronged.
If she hadn't been drunk, Lin Qingyan would indeed not have been so indifferent, but in fact, she still didn't look down on He Qianwei in her heart, and she didn't even know how to be in awe of He Xiuzhu and Jiang Liuwan.
Thinking of this, He Qianwei's guilt that had just emerged immediately dissipated, and she became arrogant again.
"Then I'm not wronged." She pouted, "Such people's hearts and lungs are all black, if you are deceived by her pretending posture, it may be even worse." ”
"I know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, now I understand?"
Xiao Zaiyang said with a smile.
Lin Qingyan may be a little innocent, but it is not enough for her to get out of this incident innocently, and she will always be punished no matter what.
Xiao Zaiyang thought to himself, even the person who was afraid of falling in his hands and afraid of melting in his mouth couldn't suffer this grievance in vain, and he had to pretend to be tolerant and gently put it down, so as to gain a good reputation for himself.
He Qianwei doesn't need such a false reputation.
After all, he will always favor her, and the prince's favor is already the best symbol, which can make those so-called big families shut up.
As for what they think in private, it is meaningless, and how can outsiders know what they can't say?
