Women, especially women at the pinnacle of power in the deep palace, are by no means the ones that men think only know how to dress up and don't know people's calculations.

In the midst of a room full of ghosts, the Queen Mother finally spoke again:

"Master Ding, do you have any other evidence?"

These words were neither salty nor light, but they made Ding Fuzi break out in a cold sweat.

When the Queen Mother said this, she didn't believe his words, but agreed with Shen Qingluan's statement.

Evidence? What evidence? If he had evidence, he would have gone to the Shen Mansion yesterday to arrest Shen Qingluan.

Why did you sue Cizhao Palace today and ask the queen to support you?

Ding Fuzi said with a reluctant face: "If Miss Shen is willing to cooperate with Weichen to investigate the case, the minister will be able to find out the truth with the Ding family as a guarantee."

Since Miss Shen is the daughter of a courtier, she should be willing to make this contribution. ”

Shen Qingluan almost laughed angrily.

This means that she can't use the family affection of the Ding family to let the Queen Mother suppress her?

is so faceless and skinless, and he still lives in the position of the master of the country, which is simply ridiculous in the world!

If all the courtiers in the court were people like Ding Lei, the Great Zhou Dynasty would die sooner or later.

The Queen Mother's eyes swept to Shen Qingluan again, "Shen Qingluan, what do you think?" ”

Shen Qingluan held back her anger and said: "The courtier's daughter has already made it clear what she experienced that day, what does Master Ding think is wrong?" ”

Ding Lei was immediately asked again.

What's wrong?

Of course, there's nothing wrong with that.

Shen Qingluan spoke smoothly and acted even more shrewdly, so that he couldn't catch the slightest loophole.

In fact, it is also because he has been in Guozijian for a long time, and the students he comes into contact with on weekdays are students who are not familiar with the world.

And the courtiers in the court always hold him because of his identity, and for a long time, he will be accustomed to such a dustless and self-righteous character.

There was a stalemate in the hall for a while.

The Queen Mother's expression was uncertain, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Fortunately, not long after, Huang Gonggong went and returned, "Queen Mother, the Marquis of Zhenyuan has arrived, and now he is waiting outside the palace." ”

The Queen Mother pressed her eyebrows, "Xuan." ”

After a while, Jun Chengsong was dressed in the dark blue official robe of a military general, his waist was as straight as an iron spear, and his two long legs were as straight as if he had been measured by a ruler.

The wind brought up during the walk lifted the robe on his legs, as if there was some kind of cold killing intent on his body, and he retreated to avoid him.

"Wechen has seen the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother's expression loosened slightly.

Older women always like to look at these sharp-edged young people.

In particular, Jun Chengsong was born with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his aura was lofty, and he was very likable.

The Queen Mother's voice softened, "No need to be polite." ”

Jun Chengsong stood up.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, the position he was standing in was just beside Shen Qingluan, and the two stood side by side, and the Queen Mother suddenly had an illusion in a trance.

It's a perfect match.

This thought only appeared for a moment, and she threw it away, "Yesterday, there was a poisonous insect infestation at the Qionglin banquet, and you were also at the scene, I don't know what you think?" ”

That being said, she didn't have much hope.

Guy heard that although Jun Chengsong was brave and good at fighting, he was usually rough and careless.

Coupled with such a handsome offspring, she didn't want to be too embarrassed, so her tone was just light.

Unexpectedly, Jun Chengsong's eyes were deep, and he didn't see the slightest panic and weakness, and said loudly

"The Queen Mother Mingjian, yesterday's poisonous insect body was dark purple, there was a lin on the surface, and the feet were strong and hooked, which was a unique insect at the border pass, and the ministers often saw it when they fought at the border pass. ”

After saying this, the Queen Mother's eyes lit up, but then she was angry, and asked: "Is this true?" Since it is unique to the border pass, why does it appear in the capital? ”

Jun Chengsong clenched his fists, "Yesterday, Ding Fuzi sent someone to interrogate everyone present, but he found nothing, and the minister thought that the students of Beijing Middle School should not know about poisonous insects.

Therefore, after Ding Fuzi left, the minister led people to search the Qionglin banquet. ”

He talked eloquently, and the queen was happy.

On the contrary to her, Wan Guifei's brows jumped, but her face became more and more ugly.

Bugs unique to the border?

Damn, that guy didn't say he was a border worm!

Lowering his head, Xue Yin led someone to carry something inside.

Jun Chengsong tore off the cloth covering his head, "The minister found a large number of sweet bait in the back garden of the Qionglin Banquet, which is the thing that raises poisonous insects, it can be seen that these poisonous insects are deliberately raised, and it is not an accident."

Wei Chen dared to guess that these poisonous insects might be coming for His Majesty. ”

The Queen Mother's heart set off a stormy wave!

"Is that true?"

Jun Chengsong affirmed: "The minister has been at the border for many years, and the same is true of the soldiers around him, if the queen mother does not believe the words of the minister, she can summon a few more people to interrogate." ”

The Queen Mother's face sank completely, and her wide sleeves waved heavily: "Go to Xuan, go and invite the emperor too!" ”

When the poisonous insects attacked, the emperor was not at the scene, and he was not frightened or injured, so he didn't pay much attention to this matter, and he didn't even take the queen mother seriously.

In addition, Ding Lei deliberately planted this matter on Shen Qingluan's girl's house, so he only thought that those poisonous insects were just different locusts and bees, and they just appeared accidentally.

Now the Marquis of Zhenyuan actually said that those poisonous insects came from the border pass, or did someone deliberately raise them in Qionglin Banquet?

If the emperor is stung, won't it shake the country's foundation?

The Queen Mother was frightened for a while, and secretly scolded Ding Lei for being really bold, and even dared to use such a big event as a raft.

Jun Chengsong did not have the slightest consciousness of dropping a big thunder, he was still calm and calm, not in a hurry.

"These poisonous insects grow very fast, and as long as the temperature is right and there is bait, they can reproduce quickly, and they can give birth to a litter in a month.

Wei Chen dared to ask Master Ding, since His Majesty asked Master Ding to inspect and be in charge of the affairs of the Qionglin Banquet, did Master have discovered in advance that someone in the backyard was raising poisonous insects? ”

Ding Lei was asked for a while, and his face was gray and weak.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The Queen Mother is a civil official, and she doesn't understand these poisonous insects, so she neglected to do so for a while." ”

Ding Fuzi knew that he didn't understand this, why did he swear so much that the poisonous insects were related to Miss Shen?

I have heard that the master who is the most rigorous in his studies is the most rigorous, because when the master says the wrong thing, it is all the students who are wrong. Ding Fuzi's Qionglin banquet was so negligent, and Chen Zhen sweated for the students of Guozijian. ”

After he finished speaking, he gave Shen Qingluan a secret look, looking triumphant and begging for praise.

As if to say: I said okay?

Shen Qingluan looked away as if nothing had happened,

Ding Lei's face was blue and white for a while, but he could only grit his teeth, and he didn't dare to say a word, let alone argue for himself.

Qionglin Yan was deliberately raised with poisonous insects, at least he was negligent and wrong, and at worst he was endangering the dragon body.

It's good to die or not, Jun Chengsong said as if he had no intention:

"Miss Shen is a woman, it's pitiful to suffer such an unwarranted disaster for no reason, and you still want to blame him for your own negligence, it's really-"

Jun Chengsong sighed twice, his eyes were full of contempt, and everything was silent.

Ding Lei was completely silent, and said gloomily for a while: "Since the Marquis of Zhenyuan has already found out, why don't you report to this official immediately, so delay the big thing." ”

These words are simply shameless to a certain point, even the Queen Mother can't listen to it, and said angrily:

"You are embarrassed to say that Your Majesty trusts you to let you lead the Qionglin Banquet, you are so negligent in major matters, the Marquis of Zhenyuan is not only grateful for finding out for you, but also avenging!

How can such an act be worthy of being the master of the country's eunuchs! ”

That's a pretty harsh statement.

Ding Lei immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.

The Queen Mother was still angry, so she let him kneel, and it was not until the emperor's Luan arrived that the Queen Mother endured her anger.

"Get up, talk and do things in the future to pay attention to the mourners, and don't be embarrassed here."

Ding Lei wiped his sweat, completely extinguished his arrogance, and stood aside sneeringly, not daring to be a demon again.

The emperor wore a bright yellow dragon robe to enter, and except for the queen mother, the rest of the people knelt down to salute.

Shen Qingluan was already kneeling and lost his temper.

The emperor gave the queen mother another salute before letting everyone get up.

"What's the matter with the queen mother, so anxious to call her son."

The Queen Mother looked solemn, "How dare the mourning family not be anxious, I just heard from the Marquis of Zhenyuan that the poisonous insects that appeared at the Qionglin banquet yesterday actually came from the border pass."

When the mourning family heard this, their hearts were shocked, could the emperor be injured? ”

The emperor's face was also full of surprise, and after listening to Jun Chengsong tell him the ins and outs, he pursed his lips and his eyes glowed with cold light.

The atmosphere in the hall did not dare to come out for a while, as if the air had become thin.

"So, these poisonous insects are coming from me?"

The emperor's words contained boundless anger and murderous intent.

"Ding Lei, I asked you to take charge of the affairs of the Qionglin Banquet, and that's what you did, is your head on your neck completely ornamental?"

Ding Lei trembled and knelt down to confess, his neck was cold, as if there was a cold knife on his head.

The Queen Mother just looked at this scene coldly, her lips were tightly pursed, and the two lines on her lips seemed to be a deep fold.

Ding Lei's heart became more and more cold, and he couldn't care about the figure of the master of the country, so he knocked his head loudly.

"Your Majesty spares your life, and the minister's negligence almost caused a catastrophe, and I am willing to accept Your Majesty's punishment."

He was still quite knowledgeable, and he didn't quibble in front of the emperor, and the emperor said coldly: "If you don't do things well, you will receive eighty boards." ”

Ding Lei was stunned for a moment, and then kowtowed more intensely, "Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty spares your life, Weichen really knows his mistake, this time he must reflect on it and never dare to do it again!"

I beg Your Majesty to bypass the minister for the sake of his loyalty in the past. ”

The boards in the palace are unusual, the boards are nailed with wooden tenon nails, and one by one the protrusions are smashed on the waist of the person, and the adult man will open the skin and flesh one by twenty boards.

Eighty boards? Is he still alive?

"The Queen Mother! Although the minister has made some omissions this time, the loyalty of the minister can be seen by the sun and the moon! ”

These words seemed to touch the Queen Mother, although she was still blushing, her eyes were moved.

Ding Lei howled again: "Besides, the minister is just a master who is obsessed with learning, and he has never heard of such things as poisonous insects, even if he neglects to do so for a while, it is understandable, please forgive your majesty!" ”

"Emperor."

The Queen Mother spoke up and stopped the guards who wanted to drag Ding Lei to torture.
