Chapter 196: What Were You Doing That Day?
Because they were really worried about Ji Jiang's safety for a long time, the two of them knew that this matter was determined to investigate the truth.
So the Queen Mother said bluntly, "Does this matter of Liuyin have anything to do with you?" Because she knew that Zhao Liuyin was jealous of Song Qian, it was very likely that she would send an assassin to assassinate Song Qian, so she naturally thought that she did it.
"What does the Queen Mother mean by this? Please ask the Queen Mother to investigate, how could the courtiers send someone to hurt the prince?" Zhao Liuyin suddenly became anxious, because she would never send someone to hurt Ji Changye, nor would she let people slander herself.
But at this time, the Queen Mother regarded Zhao Liuyin's appearance as her annoyance, and said coldly: "If this matter is not done by you, why does the emperor mention this matter in front of you, doesn't he just want to knock on you? Since you have done this, you are telling the truth, otherwise when the emperor finds out the truth, the mourning family will not be able to protect you." Now she has completely determined that Zhao Liuyin did this matter, and wants Zhao Liuyin to confess.
But Zhao Liuyin hadn't done this at all, so there was no reason to admit it at all, especially after hearing the Queen Mother's words, she asked puzzledly, "Queen Mother, are you suspicious of your courtiers just because of these? In that case, when Your Majesty was there to talk about this, it was not necessarily for the courtiers to hear, but perhaps for you." She also decided that she was the one who started it.
Hearing these words, the Queen Mother fell into deep thought.
Hearing Zhao Liuyin say this, maybe this matter has nothing to do with her, if neither of them has done this, then who did it?
"What were you doing that day?" The Queen Mother suddenly asked.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Liuyin recalled what he had done that day and replied, "I accompanied my father to Li Shangshu's house that day, and I didn't know that the prince and they were on their way back."
"That day, the mourning family was still busy dealing with the affairs of the harem, and Li Zhong, who was sent, had not yet come back to tell the mourning family about the prince's return alone." So she didn't know that Ji Changye would come back, so how could she send assassins to assassinate them?
So now it's clear that this matter has nothing to do with the two of them at all.
"Who else would send someone to assassinate Ye'er?" This matter is very strange, and this matter is related to herself and Zhao Liuyin, so the Queen Mother wants to find out about this matter.
So she planned to send someone to investigate.
Zhao Liuyin asked worriedly on the side: "Queen Mother, now that Your Majesty is already suspicious of you and your courtiers, how can we prove our innocence to Your Majesty." Now the emperor did not make it clear that he suspected that this matter had something to do with the two of them, and if they rashly mentioned this matter, it was very likely that the emperor would think that this matter was three hundred taels of silver here, that they were covering up their crimes, and that it was a sign of weakness.
Now they are completely in a dilemma.
The Queen Mother comforted Zhao Liuyin and comforted herself, saying, "Since Your Majesty does not clearly suspect the two of us in this matter, there is no evidence to prove that this matter is related to us. In that case, you and I can't take the initiative to mention this matter, just wait and see, and wait until Your Majesty makes any moves, and then we can find a way to deal with it."
"Yes, Queen Mother." Although he said this, Zhao Liuyin was still uneasy in his heart.
But since the Queen Mother had already said so, she had no choice but to quiet down and wait for things to develop.
Jin Wangfu.
Looking at the sullen ingots, Gu Yuan and Fei Gu had a headache on the side, because they had been coaxing for a long time, but the ingots were indifferent, which really made them helpless.
Because after He Yujin arranged the ingots to the two of them, he went to the palace, and the two people who had not done this were simply in a hurry until now.
"My little ancestor, can you just smile? Now that you're hungry or not, how about I take you to eat?" Gu Yuan squatted down and said in Yuanbao's ear, his face full of anticipation.
Yuan Bao just looked at him and shook his head, repeating the question that he had said countless times, "Uncle, when will my mother come back?" Does she not want me anymore?" Didn't she say that she would come back soon, and then take him back to Sulou Town? But it's been this hour,
It's hard for Yuan Bao to wonder if Song Qian doesn't want to take him back. Look at the book
This question made Gu Yuan difficult to answer for a while, he got up and looked at Fei Gu in a distress manner and whispered, "What should I do? Why don't you try it?" He was really afraid that if he said something wrong, it would make Yuan Bao sad.
Fei Gu looked embarrassed, because he didn't know how to answer the question. But now that he has been driven to the shelves, he can only come to Yuanbao and say, "Yuanbao, my mother just went to the palace to meet His Majesty and the Queen Mother, not that I don't want you. It's this hour, and they'll be back soon, don't worry."
Yuan Bao looked at Fei Gu pitifully and said, "Really?"
"Really, how could I lie to you?" Fei Gu thought to himself that this was someone's child who would be so likeable.
Gu Yuan looked at the ingots who were coaxed by him and breathed a sigh of relief, "This is even more difficult than being a guard, but it is finally coaxed." At this time, he was also very curious about whose child the ingots were, and it couldn't be with Yujin, right? Obviously he was just a kid. Besides, it's only been a year or two since it has been out, how can such a big child come out?
"Yuanbao, who are your mother and father? Why did you meet my Jin prince? What are you coming to the Imperial Capital for?" The two of them were also very shocked when they saw He Yujin come back, because he had a lot of things to do in the past two days, so he hadn't had time to talk to them about the purpose of coming back.
felt that the two of them were good to him, and they were a subordinate of He Jin, so Yuan Bao was not wary and hostile to the two of them, so he said what the two of them wanted to know, "My mother is the shopkeeper of the dessert shop in Sulou Town, and my father's whereabouts are unknown now, and his life and death are unknown. I came to the imperial capital this time because of the holy decree of the current queen mother, so that my mother came to the imperial capital to make desserts, and my mother took me and Ah Jin and the regent to come here, as well as Uncle Changfeng. My mother said that she would take me back to Sulou Town when she finished making the dessert, so we will leave when my mother comes back."
He couldn't wait.
Listening to Yuanbao's methodical words, Gu Yuan and Fei Gu all felt that it was really rare for a child as big as Yuanbao to be able to tell this matter completely. And when he knew that they were returning with Ji Changye, he felt that the identity of Yuan Bao should not be underestimated.
In this case, they should protect the ingots and not let him be hurt, otherwise the two of them will not be able to eat and walk around.
At this moment, Yuan Bao suddenly got up from his chair and walked out.
Gu Yuan and Fei Gu immediately got up in a hurry and chased after them, "Yuanbao, where are you going?" Come back soon!" When they chased to the door, the ingots stopped.
It turned out to be Song Qian, and they came back.
"You kid has weird ears." Gu Yuan couldn't help but say.
He Yujin got out of the car and was very strange to see Gu Yuan and Fei Gu panting, "What are you two doing? How did you get tired like this? Or at the gate of the palace." If this spreads, won't it make others think that everyone in his Jin Mansion is weak, which is really damaging to his reputation. ,
"Back to the prince, my subordinates are just ......" can't be said to be tired like this because of taking care of ingots, right? Gu Yuan was really embarrassed to say these words, so he pushed Fei Gu beside him forward, because his mouth was much stronger than his own.
"Back to the prince, the subordinates just accompanied the little master of ingots to play games, so they became like this, which made the prince and the regent laugh."
He Yujin didn't think there was anything wrong with the two of them like this, that is to say, it was just a joke, seeing that they explained so seriously, He Yujin walked up to the two of them and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll go get some silver and drink wine by myself later, and it won't hurt to come back in the evening."
When Gu Yuan and Fei Gu heard this, they immediately knelt down and thanked them, and then left.
Yuanbao ran to Song Qian, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Mother, didn't you say that you will come back soon to take Yuanbao back to Sulou Town? Why did you come back so late, Yuanbao waited for you for so long, and I thought you didn't want Yuanbao." As he spoke, he became aggrieved, and tears were about to fall out.
"Yuanbao, I'm really sorry. When I was in the palace, some things were delayed, and my mother didn't
Is it back? Besides, how could my mother not want ingots? How's it going, are you having fun here?" Seeing that the ingots were safe and sound, Song Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Bao replied, "I am very happy, the two uncles have been playing with the Yuanbao, and the Yuan Bao is very obedient and has not caused trouble to the two uncles." When he turned his head, it was very strange to find that Gu Yuan and Fei Gu were not here, but he didn't think much about it.
After hearing this, Song Qian touched Yuanbao's cheek and replied gently: "Yuanbao is the most well-behaved, but my mother wants to tell you, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back to Sulou Town for a while." This has already happened, how could they easily let Song Qian leave here? In order not to have an accident on the road, Song Qian could only stay for the time being.
After hearing this, Yuan Bao's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment, "Why, mother? It's not as good as Sulou Town, so why stay here?" He just wanted to live a plain life with Song Qian, and as for being ignored by the emperor or anything else that could bring them glory and wealth, Yuanbao didn't care.
Song Qian, who knew that Yuanbao would be like this, comforted him and said, "My mother's business here has not been finished yet, because my mother has already promised others, so I can't break my promise, so I have to stay and wait until things are done before I can leave. Don't worry, when my mother takes care of the things here, how about taking the ingots back?"
He Yujin on the side also accosted and said, "That's it, Yuanbao, Song Niangzi still has something to do, you just wait." Besides, there are a lot of interesting things in this imperial capital, how about I take you to see a shadow puppet show in the evening? There's a lot of good food."
But these things can't attract ingots, but because Song Qian has already said so, Yuanbao can only agree obediently, in order not to worry Song Qian.
Ji Changye came over at this time and said, "In that case, Song Niangzi and Yuan Bao should still live with me."
When Song Qian heard it, he immediately vetoed: "This is not appropriate, the prince, this is really inappropriate."
Seeing Song Qian's expression so excited, Ji Changye looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" Song Niangzi." Or did she not want to live with him at all, or did she not want to be involved with herself?
Ji Changye, who thought so, suddenly became lost.
Changfeng sighed helplessly when he saw it, thinking to himself how Ji Changye could think so easily now, or was it because he cared too much about Song Qian?
