Chapter 054: Greed
Wang Lishuo naturally didn't dare to say how to deal with Concubine Li one step ahead of the emperor.
He could only look at the emperor, clenched his hands into fists, and bowed respectfully: "Please also ask the emperor to enforce the law impartially!" β
He Ying frowned, silent and silent, obviously thinking about how to deal with it.
Sang Yan didn't want to have any more casualties, so he said: "Although there is a confession, there is no witness, and it cannot be easily decided." It also needs to be checked. β
In fact, the things in the palace were all confused accounts in the end.
In the case of previous assassinations, no reason has been found so far.
He Ying is still thinking.
At this moment, Xiao Guizi came in and conveyed: "Your Majesty, Xuan Niangniang is here." β
Xuanrao?
Isn't it being beaten into the cold palace?
Or is it a mother?
He Ying frowned, looking displeased: "What is she doing here?" β
Sang Yan immediately thought of the reason why Concubine Xuan came over - she was the only person who survived in the cold palace, and she must know something.
"Invite her in."
She gave the order one step ahead of the emperor.
Xiao Guizi also listened to her, and immediately went to summon her.
Seeing this, He Ying smiled and didn't say anything.
It's good that the courage was raised by him.
"Concubine...... cough cough cough ...... I've seen the emperor. β
Concubine Xuan was helped in by Yun Qiao.
She was pale, weak, and coughing and coughing.
He Ying looked impatient and asked directly: "Why are you here?" β
Xuan Guifei said: "The concubine is here to be Concubine Li, cough cough, testify, she did not associate with anyone who hurt Miss Sang." β
After Concubine Li and the others were beaten into the cold palace that day, in order to save face for the emperor, the queen mother did not release them as soon as possible, but let them stay in the cold palace for a few days and suffered for a few days before being released.
In the past few days, how Concubine Li gets along with those people, she still has a lot to say.
He Ying figured out the joints and asked, "How do you know that she didn't have anything to do with them?" β
Concubine Xuan replied: "Concubine Li has an arrogant personality, and after entering the cold palace, she didn't, cough cough, she didn't take the initiative to say a word to them. Those people, cough cough, bullied Concubine Li many times, and Concubine Li hid in the concubine's body. The concubine can testify that she is not familiar with those people, cough cough, and the person who attacked Miss Sang last night, let alone buy them to kill. β
He Ying listened quietly, his eyes were dark, and he asked: "According to what you say, you are kind to Concubine Li, but Concubine Li came out of the cold palace, but she didn't take more care of you." Even when you are seriously ill, there is no help. Why are you still talking to her? β
"The emperor misunderstood."
Concubine Xuan Guifei coughed so much that she couldn't straighten her waist, and her face was terrible and pale: "Concubine body, cough cough, not to speak for Concubine Li, but for Miss Sang, cough cough, speak for her." As you said, Miss Sang is kind to the concubine, cough, cough, and concubine. It is precisely because of grace that the concubine body cannot be seen...... cough cough cough ...... The real murderers are at large. Otherwise, Miss Sang will be in danger. β
When He Ying heard this, he believed most of it.
But thinking of the case file presented by Wang Lishuo, he said: "That's not what you said in the case file. β
Xuan Guifei's testimony in the case file is: [I have been sick and fainted for a long time, and I don't know anything. γ
Now it is equivalent to reversing the confession.
"The emperor is clear, the concubine, cough cough cough-"
She coughed endlessly.
He Ying saw that she was about to suffocate to death, so he hurriedly asked someone to hand her a cup of tea.
Concubine Xuan thanked her and took it, but she didn't drink it, but continued: "The strict punishment of the Criminal Division, cough cough, cough cough, the concubine is scared and doesn't dare to say more." β
He Ying expected this reason, and didn't ask much, waving his hand and saying, "I know." Go down and rest. β
"Yes."
Concubine Xuan was helped away by Yun Qiao.
After she left, the situation took a turn for the better.
He Ying knew that he couldn't find anything easily, so he made a decision directly: "Concubine Li's words and deeds are unruly, jealous, and she was demoted to Concubine Li, grounded for three months, and thought about it behind closed doors." β
Qu Xueli: "......"
She really sleeps under the covers, and woe comes from heaven.
There is suffering, but there is no word for it.
I also have to thank you: "Thank you for the emperor's kindness." β
Seeing this, Sang Yan had nothing to say.
Wang Lishuo wanted to say something, but after glancing at the emperor's face, he changed his words again: "The emperor is wise." β
and those who are courtiers shall also be confused.
A "farce" ended.
The powerful are well.
The lowly gave twenty-three lives.
After Sang Yan waited for them to leave, he still resigned: "Your Majesty, don't you think that since I entered the palace, the palace has not been peaceful?" Maybe it's my lifeβ"
"There's nothing wrong with your personality. Even if your life is hard, I am the Son of Heaven, and I can hold it down. β
He Ying saw that her face was full of gloom, and his tone slowed down a little: "I went to Longchan Temple today to pray for you, and Master Yixuan also said so." I can hold it down. β
Sang Yan asked rhetorically: "Can the emperor suppress my life, can he suppress those restless hearts that arise because of me?" β
"Nature can hold it down."
He Ying was very confident and even more ruthless: "If you can't hold it down, you will kill it cleanly." β
Sang Yan: "......"
Day.
It doesn't make sense to him at all.
She decided to change her approach: "Your Majesty, is it not good to be a dewy couple?" β
He Ying shook his head: "Not good." I don't want it overnight, I want it to last a long time. β
Sang Yan couldn't help but sneer: "The emperor is so greedy. β
He Ying sighed: "If I can, I want to share this greed with you a little." β
Sang Yan: "......"
She should not be greedy.
She just wants to salt, lie flat, and rot.
It's a pity that you can only think about it.
"Your Majesty, greed doesn't end well."
"Whether I end well or not depends on you."
ββ¦β¦β
Sang Yan couldn't say anything about him, he was annoyed, waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please go back." I'm going to sleep. β
He Ying had a hard day and was tired, so he beckoned Qiuzhi to come in, took care of her, and left.
"The Emperor's legsβ"
Qiu Zhi watched the emperor leave, and couldn't help muttering: "I think it's really been kneeling for a long time, and I walk very stiffly." It looks like it hurts. I don't know if he can apply painkillers and decongestion medicine. I haven't heard of Imperial Doctor Xuan. β
Sang Yan: "...... Don't talk about it. β
She felt uncomfortable when she heard it.
Qiu Zhi's words made her feel ...... It doesn't seem to be good for him.
He went to Longchan Temple to pray for himself, knelt for so many hours, and when he returned to the palace, he was still worried about her body and came to see her, but she blamed him for something else.
Like a white-eyed wolf.
Specialized in the nest.
Alas.
She's annoyed.
I didn't sleep well all night.
The next day
Of course, I woke up late.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Sang Xiaoshui sitting on the chair opposite, looking straight at him.
Weird and scary.
How long has she been looking at herself?
Why do you look at yourself like that?
Sang Yan sat up, frowned and asked, "Why are you here?" Can I help you? β
She inexplicably dislikes Sang weak water more and more.
But because of the relationship between the original owner and her, she still has to deal with one or two.
"What did my sister say? Can't you come to see your sister if you're fine? β
Sang Qiaoshui said so, but he also went straight to the point: "I heard my sister for Concubine Li, no, now it's Concubine Li, and I interceded for her." Why did my sister save her? My father has been pressed by Qu Zhi for so many years, and he has seen that he has survived, how can you ......"
What she imagined was that Qu Xueli had an accident and caused disaster to Qu's father, so as to make room for her father.
As a result, it was all ruined by mulberry smoke.
I'm so angry with her!
"My sister is really benevolent, kind, great and selfless."
She suppressed her dissatisfaction, but her tone was uncontrollable: "It's a pity that my father is going to be angry under Qu Zhi's hands again." β
Sang Yan felt that Sang Qiaoshui was here to ask the teacher for sin.
She wasn't used to it, and said directly: "Concubine Li didn't want to kill me." She's not behind it either. β
When Sang Wanshui heard her say this, she laughed angrily: "Sister really thinks I want to catch the mastermind behind the scenes?" I wanted my father to take the opportunity to climb up. Why doesn't my sister know my good intentions? The emperor didn't pursue it, don't you understand? β
Sang Yan: "......"
What do you know?
She was stunned: "What do you mean?" β
The emperor knew that Concubine Li was innocent, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to pave the way for his father's ascendancy?
Sang Wanshui was still angry, and didn't want to give her an answer, so he said: "Sister has always been smart, think about it yourself." β
Then, standing up, ready to goβ
Outside the temple
Pei Duyang came in with a snow-white cat.
The cat had a pair of beautiful water-blue eyes, dripping and turning, and it was particularly aura.
"Meow meow meow-"
It screamed twice, suddenly jumped out of Pei Duyang's arms, and went straight to Sangyan.
Sang Yan is a little afraid of cats.
One is afraid of being scratched and bitten by it;
The second is fear - wild animals will be infected with bacteria!
"Catch it!"
"Don't let it come!"
She screamed and ducked into bed.
Fortunately, he was hugged by Sang Qiaoshui halfway.
Sang Qiaoshui still likes this cat, and immediately said: "Sister, you seem to be afraid of cats, so you might as well send me." β
"No! Cannot! The master shall not give it away! β
Pei Duyang preemptively refused, explaining: "This cat was brought by the emperor from Longchan Temple. It is said that this cat bathes in Buddhism all the year round, and its body is surrounded by auspicious energy, which can drive away evil spirits and bring good luck. β
"So this cat is so valuable."
Sang Qiaoshui felt uncomfortable in his heart, and laughed at himself: "The emperor rewarded my sister with good things, I don't dare to ask for it." β
After speaking, he threw the cat directly on the mulberry cigarette.
