Chapter 307: Interesting (1st Update)
Concubine Li really didn't expect it, and she was shocked.
"Guess." Su Rong looked at her and speculated: "And this evidence, His Royal Highness should also know, otherwise, he would not ask for the East Palace, nor would he be sure that you are innocent, for your sake, to prove your innocence by death." ”
Concubine Li nodded slowly, admitted that she was right, and said in a low voice: "In Feng Si's house, under the big black cabinet in his house, the third brick hides what my father left me, I don't know what evidence it is, but my father said that if one day, he dies, if my life is not guaranteed, let me take it out, I don't have anyone I trust, I dare not take it, you are right, I don't believe in King Ruian, he is too tactful, too good at judging the situation, he may not be able to help a fourth highness and me who has no foundation." ”
Su Rong thought to herself, sure enough, she came to the right place, she really had a reward, she nodded, "Does Concubine Li Niangniang have anything else to say?" ”
Concubine Li thought about it, and picked up a few more people and things in the palace to say, one of which involved a precious concubine, which was a very small matter, but Su Rong was surprised, "You said that the precious concubine once asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a white fox skin?" ”
"Yes." Concubine Li looked at the white fox fur on Su Rong's body, "If it weren't for the fact that you were wearing this white fox fur cloak, I wouldn't have remembered that there had been such a thing, two or three years, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not agree, this matter was said in front of His Majesty, His Majesty's face was not good-looking at the time, and he also reprimanded His Royal Highness the Prince, saying that a few white fox skins are just a few white fox skins, His Royal Highness the Prince, as a prince, is too stingy, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the white fox fur he collected in the treasury is to be kept as a white fox fur cloak in the future and given to the future Crown Princess, and I hope that the concubine will forgive her sins." That was the first time that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince contradicted His Majesty, saying that His Majesty was rich all over the world, what did the concubine want, His Majesty could not be satisfied, posted the imperial list, the world asked for a few white fox skins, it was still easy to get, not to rob his son, his few white fox skins, but he personally beat them, and gave them to the concubine, which was not suitable, and made His Majesty angry enough, originally the government and the opposition had complained about His Majesty's exclusive favor of the concubine for many years, not to mention that for a few white fox skins, it was too much fanfare, and it was definitely impossible to post the imperial list, and His Majesty was also afraid that the courtiers would say him. Later, this matter was still the concubine Niangniang said forget it, she didn't necessarily want it, it was a dress made of white fox skin, warm and good-looking, His Majesty's library didn't have it, she just wanted it, and now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so, she naturally can't rob the future princess's things, otherwise it will be spread out and people will laugh to death. And that's how it went. ”
After Su Rong listened, he was thoughtful.
Concubine Li looked at her, "This white fox fur cloak is very good-looking, it is really warm and good-looking." But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent it? Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness was willing to give it to Miss Su Qi. After all, in this capital, except for the East Palace, no one has a white fox skin. ”
Su Rong nodded, very calmly, "Well, it was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." I am the cousin of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I also have a life-saving grace for His Highness. Accepting a cloak from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is generally deserved. ”
It doesn't matter if he once said that he would give it to the future crown princess, it was hers to give it to her.
No wonder the emperor saw her today, looked at the white fox cloak on her body a few more times, and must have remembered this incident.
Su Rong thought it was really interesting.
She stood up and said to Concubine Li: "Concubine Li take care of your body, Your Royal Highness is very filial, if you can survive this catastrophe, you will be able to have a good life in the future." ”
After all, the four princes have taken refuge in the East Palace, as long as the prince does not fall, the four highnesses and her mother-in-law will have a good life.
Concubine Li nodded, and her whole person was a little more energetic, "Okay, thank you, and borrow your auspicious words." ”
After meeting Concubine Li, Su Rong went to see Concubine Xian and Concubine De again...... Finally, he met Yu An, the emperor's former chief eunuch.
Yu An never thought that he was in trouble, but now that he was in trouble, he really felt that he had died unjustly, how could he have thought that he had planted such a big heel on a little palace maid and was involved in such a big case.
In the past few days when he was imprisoned, he was almost tortured to an inhuman form, when he was a big celebrity around the emperor, everyone held it, but now he is in trouble, although no one dares to step on him, but no one dares to get close to him, and no one dares to help him, I wish I never knew him, for fear that he would also be involved in a big case.
He is old, and the thin skin and tender flesh that he has been raised are more delicate than the body of the emperor's concubines, where has he suffered from being imprisoned? The daily food was half-cooked, and he had a stomachache when he ate it, and although he was not tortured in any way, he could not stand it because the food was cold and hard.
Yu An felt that he was finished, and if he continued like this, he would be finished before the day the case was closed.
But no one came to save him.
For so many years, the number of people he offended can't be counted, after all, he relies on the emperor to eat, as long as the emperor is coaxed and served, he feels that everything is fine, even the prince, His Majesty does not wait to see and suppress the prince, although he will not step on it, but he does not buy anything good for the prince.
Now that he is in trouble, there are more people who hope that he will die, and if he dies, he will vacate his place, and someone will immediately go up to him.
When Su Rong arrived, he saw Yu An bent over his waist, holding his stomach, his face was pale and painful, and his white-faced face was now full of grayness.
Seeing Su Rong, Yu An's eyes widened, especially when his gaze fell on the white fox fur cloak on her body, and his eyes widened.
Su Rong thought to herself, it seems that she has to wear this white fox fur cloak in the palace.
"Miss Su Qi?" Yu An rubbed his eyes, almost thinking that he was dazzled, because he was now guilty, he didn't think that Su Rong would be able to see him, after all, no matter how he thought about it, he would never have thought that Su Rong would be able to take over the investigation of this case.
"Well, it's me, Grandpa Yu." Su Rong nodded.
Yu An was surprised, "...... you came here"
Su Rong said: "Your Majesty has assigned me to assist King Ruian in adjudicating the case. ”
Yu An was even more shocked.
No wonder he was shocked, it was really Su Rong's identity, whether it was the little concubine of the Jiangzhou Thorn Mansion or the princess of Southern Chu, she should not meddle in the court situation and serious cases of Daliang. The former is not qualified enough, and the latter is the royal daughter of Nanchu, and her identity is not suitable.
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Su Rong took out the token that the emperor gave her that was "like me coming in person" and showed it to Yu An.
Yu An saw it clearly, and was shocked, forgetting about the stomach ache for a while, "This, this ......"
Su Rong sat down, "Father-in-law Yu, I'm here to investigate the case, if you participate in this case and tell the truth, Your Majesty will definitely give you a whole corpse when he reads the love you serve." If you don't participate, then you have to confess, and if what you confess is beneficial to the progress of the case, then it is not impossible for you to return to Your Majesty and continue to be your grand duke. ”
Yu An looked at Su Rong and didn't answer for a while.
Su Rong stared at him, "Father-in-law Yu, you have been serving by His Majesty's side since you were a child, and you are the oldest. If you say that after so many years, you don't have anything in your hands, and you can't sit firmly in the position of the first father-in-law next to Your Majesty. Whether it is a courtier, a harem concubine, or a minion, more or less, you should understand what they have done behind their backs. ”
Yu An smiled bitterly, "If the old slave had such great ability, he would not have been involved in this case and was harmed to this point by a little girl." ”
Su Rong smiled, "Grandpa Yu, I'm sitting here, I don't want to listen to you say such nonsense, what I want to listen to is something useful, or the evidence you can give me in your hand, or the evidence and objects you suspect are okay." ”
Yu An suddenly stopped his bitterness.
Su Rong looked at him, "Father-in-law Yu, you can only believe me, I am sitting here, which is the opportunity for you to finally keep a whole corpse, or return to your majesty to continue to be the first father-in-law." There is only one opportunity, and it depends on whether you cherish it or not. In short, as long as I get out of this door, you won't have a chance. ”
