Chapter 224: Enter the palace and face the saint

"The son has seen his father." King Qing suppressed his excitement and apprehension, and when he found that several important ministers in the palace were there, his eyes were still strange when he looked at him, and his heart immediately tightened.

Could it be a bad thing?

Then, King Qing noticed Pei Shilang who was kneeling on the ground.

Pei Shilang put his forehead on the ground, trembling all over, and did not look up because of the arrival of King Qing.

Such an embarrassed posture made King Qing's heart quickly sink to the bottom.

You must know that Pei Shilang is a member of the third grade, if he didn't anger his father, how could this be?

But if Pei Shilang would make any big mistakes, King Qing thought of Dingbei almost uncontrollably, and his face turned pale because of this.

Emperor Xingyuan didn't speak from King Qing when he came in, his sharp gaze fell on King Qing's face, and he noticed the change in his expression, and his expression sank.

"King Qing, do you know Taiping Town?"

When King Qing heard Emperor Xingyuan call his title, he sighed in his heart and said busily: "The minister doesn't know." ”

"I don't know?"

The emperor's calm and somewhat dull voice came from above, King Qing's heart was raised high, and he changed his words nervously: "It sounds a little familiar, but I can't remember it for a while, is it the town?" ”

Emperor Xingyuan swept the great eunuch Sun Yan: "Show that piece of paper to King Qing." ”

Sun Yan came to King Qing with a piece of paper.

King Qing looked at it carefully, and knelt down: "Father, this piece of nonsense on this piece of paper is pure slander!" As a prince and a prince, how could his son slaughter the people of a town for a little money, and his son was wronged......"

Emperor Xingyuan did not ease his expression because of King Qing's shouting of grievances: "The little girl in a small town went to Beijing to stop the sedan chair and shout grievances against all odds, just to wronged you?" ”

King Qing raised his head, so anxious that tears flowed out: "My son is really wronged." Father, maybe some people saw that Gu Changbo had an accident and wanted to use this to pull his son down and make this farce-"

"Shut up!" King Qing didn't mention Gu Changbo, but as soon as Gu Changbo was mentioned, Emperor Xingyuan came up angrily.

These days, he can't sleep at night, suffering day by day, waiting for news from Mr. Songling, waiting for the possibility that he and the queen will have a son alive. For this reason, even if he wanted to destroy Gu Changbo's family, he could only endure it and not have a seizure.

He had several sons, each of whom had a large family behind him. He also had many courtiers, outstanding, mediocre, noble, and drilling, each of whom had his own position and ideas. Once it is rumored that the existence of the prince will be revealed, who knows what waves will be set off?

He couldn't take any chances until he found the kid.

"It is rumored that Jin Lin Wei Zhen Fu envoy He Qingxiao entered the palace."

Not long after Emperor Xingyuan spoke, He Qingxiao hurried over.

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty."

"You go to Shuntian Mansion and bring a woman surnamed Zhu into the palace. Sun Yanβ€”"

"The slave is here."

"You also go with you, and pass on the Shuntianfu Yin into the palace."

The two responded in unison and rushed to Shuntianfu without delay.

At this time, Yin Zheng of Shuntian Mansion was anxiously pacing back and forth in the house.

What happened to He Yushi's report in the palace? Why haven't the people sent to Qingwangfu come back yet?

And Zhu Xiaoyue was arranged by him in a matching room and was watched by others.

"My lord, Gonggong Sun and Lord He are here."

As soon as he heard the report from his subordinates, Shuntianfu Yin walked out quickly, and bowed his hand to He Qingxiao and Sun Yan: "Lord He, Father-in-law Sun." ”

Sun Yan cleared his throat: "Today, I will tell you that Lord Tian will enter the palace to meet you." ”

He Qingxiao asked, "Is Miss Zhu here?" Today, she is sent to the palace to face the saint. ”

"In, in." Shuntian Mansion Yin personally led the two to the matching room.

Zhu Xiaoyue sat in the corner, and when she saw He Qingxiao and a few people coming in, she hurriedly stood up, looking nervous.

He Qingxiao glanced at Zhu Xiaoyue deeply.

This is Miss Zhu mentioned by Miss Kou.

"Is it Miss Zhu?"

Zhu Xiaoyue bent her knees: "The people's daughter is exactly." ”

The identity was confirmed, and the group rushed to the imperial city. Zhu Xiaoyue is a folk girl, and after some strict inspection, she was allowed to enter the palace gate.

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Xingyuan didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was very gloomy until Zhu Xiaoyue was brought in.

"Zhu Xiaoyue, a folk girl, has seen Your Majesty." Zhu Xiaoyue knelt down and buried her head deeply.

"Look up." An inaudible voice came from above.

Zhu Xiaoyue pressed her hands on the ground, and the cold gold bricks could reflect her pale face, which also aggravated her nervousness.

How could she not be nervous, what she wanted to see was the Son of Heaven!

But she can't be nervous, she wants to avenge the tragic death of her father and fellow villagers!

A terrible corpse, a scream of despair, and difficulties along the way...... Too many pictures flashed through Zhu Xiaoyue's mind, and she finally mustered up the courage to raise her head.

She didn't dare to look directly at Tianyan, although she raised her head, her eyes hung down in a regular manner.

Emperor Xingyuan saw the girl kneeling on the ground clearly.

After a short silence, Emperor Xingyuan spoke: "You are the girl Zhu who sued King Qing and the left servant of the household department?" ”

"It's the people's daughter who sued King Qing and the left servant of the household." Although Zhu Xiaoyue couldn't control her trembling voice, her speech was very clear.

"Tell me carefully."

"The father of the folk girl is a squire in Taiping Town......" really said it, Zhu Xiaoyue forgot about her nervousness.

From the difficulties of the villagers who lacked food and clothing after the ground movement, it was said that Zhu Yuanwai went to the county to urge disaster relief materials, but the officials who promised to report to the higher authorities died inexplicably......

Zhu Xiaoyue stared at King Qing with a pair of bloodshot eyes: "My father suspects that the disaster relief Qincha colluded with local officials to embezzle disaster relief funds, and risked his life to stop King Qing's car." King Qing promised my father that he would send someone to investigate, and asked my father to go back to the town first to wait, but two days later, what we were waiting for was not life-saving materials, but cold butcher knives. ”

A line of tears slowly flowed down and slid across the corners of her lips, and Zhu Xiaoyue bit her lip hard and tasted blood.

The pain is not as painful as the heartache.

"You are the prince, this Great Xia is all your family, and the fathers and villagers of Taiping Town are your people, why are you doing this, why?" Zhu Xiaoyue shouted out a question that made her extremely painful.

During the few days she spent in Miss Kou's house, the tense strings were relaxed, and she finally had time to think. But the more she thought about it, the more painful it became, and she even thought that if she hadn't read like the girls in town, maybe she wouldn't have thought about it, or that she could read more books that would have made her think about it.

The girl's hoarse question echoed in the hall.

Emperor Xingyuan opened his mouth, but found that there was a stone in his chest, so he slowed down and said: "I will send someone to Dingbei to investigate, if what you say is true, I will definitely give you an explanation." ”

"Thank you, long live Your Majesty!" Zhu Xiaoyue pressed her forehead to the ground and cried silently.

Emperor Xingyuan's gaze swept over everyone, and just as he was about to speak, he saw He Qingxiao stand up.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to report."

"Say."

He Qingxiao lowered his eyes slightly: "Two days ago, Jin Linwei arrested a young man with suspicious appearance, and after interrogation, he claimed to be the son of the chief bookkeeper of Beiquan County......"
