Chapter 404: Attacking the Heart
The emperor retreated from the others.
Gao Gonggong's face turned pale, and he continued tremblingly: "Princess Huai said that the poison on the assassin who kidnapped her is the same as the poison that Gao Chenggong used in the first place...... It's the same kind. β
The emperor's face sank.
The dormitory was so quiet that people couldn't breathe.
Beads of sweat even oozed from Gao Xing's forehead......
After a long time, the emperor sighed, "High success...... I remember that it was the investigation in the palace, and it did not alarm the prince.
"How could Xiao Yuchen and Princess Huai know what kind of poison he used?"
The emperor's eyes narrowed, and a gleam flashed in his old eyes.
Gonggong Gao kowtowed and said in a trembling voice: "According to the little eunuch, the prince has a talent in this area. β
A more detailed explanation, but no more.
If the emperor wants to ask clearly, he can only summon King Huai and his wife.
The emperor did not give the order to summon him.
"Yu'er has a talent for this......"
The Emperor savored these words.
"It was the prince who discovered that Gao Chenggong was hiding poison on his body that day!
"And it was the young son who prevented him from taking poison and committing suicide......"
The situation of the day is vividly reflected in the high star ephemeris...... The godson he recognized had such a rebellious mind.
If it weren't for him serving the emperor since he was a child, the emperor knew him well and trusted him...... He doesn't have enough to die even if he has a hundred lives!
Thinking back to that day, Gao Xing was still covered in cold sweat and shuddered.
The emperor frowned, "After the New Year, Yu'er is only six years old...... Summoned the king and his wife to meet him. β
β¦β¦
Wen Jin was awakened by Xiao Yuchen.
Her eyelids were so sleepy that she was fighting.
And Xiao Yuchen, who stood outside the carriage and kept watch all night, did not meet at a glance, but he was full of energy.
There was not a trace of fatigue in his body...... It's really worthy of a person who can run thousands of miles in one night and still defeat the enemy army!
Compared to him, Wen Jin looked much embarrassed.
Xiao Yuchen asked the palace people to prepare a sedan chair for her.
Wen Jin sat in the sedan chair, and the sedan chair shook...... It also has a hypnotic effect.
She felt like she had just closed her eyes......
"Pregnant with the princess? Princess? β
Father-in-law Gao took a small palace maid and guarded the outside of the sedan chair.
The palace maid was still holding a set of clothes in her hand.
Wen Jin was a little confused, what about Xiao Yuchen?
Father-in-law Gao stood outside the sedan chair and said, "The prince was summoned by the emperor to meet him." β
"Rude, I'll ......"
"The princess doesn't need to panic, the emperor learned about last night's incident and has already rewarded the princess with auspicious clothes. Originally, I was going to go to the royal palace on Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Now it's in advance. The palace maid waits for the princess to change her clothes, and after the princess changes her clothes, she will go to the audience. β
Wen Jin hurriedly got up and got out of the sedan chair to thank him.
She doesn't have to let the emperor see her embarrassed appearance.
After all, sloppiness is a loss of honor for the emperor.
As long as the emperor knows about this, the goal will be achieved.
Wen Jin followed the palace maid to the side hall to change clothes.
When she was dressed, she waited outside the palace, waiting for the emperor to announce her in......
But I heard the sound of father and son arguing in the hall!
Wen Jin's scalp tightened...... They waited all night, but they didn't quarrel with the emperor!
No matter how big Xiao Yuchen's temper is, he can't touch the emperor's scales now?!
Wen Jin frowned and listened.
"Princess Xuanhuai enters the palaceβ"
The eunuch at the door sang into her ear.
It almost deafened her ears!
Wen Jin bowed into the hall, and she peeked at it...... Sure enough!
Both the emperor and Xiao Yuchen were a little red-faced...... Father and son quarreled again?
When is it not okay to be noisy? Does it have to be now?
"Daughter-in-law Meets ......"
"Excuse me!"
The emperor interrupted her angrily, "Princess Huai was almost assassinated in Kyoto, and it should be done again!" I have promised you that I will tell the Criminal Department to keep an eye on this matter!
"Princess Huai now, isn't she standing here? What else do you want me to do? β
Wen Jin was stunned and looked at Xiao Yuchen suspiciously.
How did he make the emperor so angry?
Xiao Yuchen glanced back at her, and shrugged helplessly, "I didn't say anything, who ......knows"
"What are you muttering about?!" The emperor scolded, "Early in the morning, that's what you're talking about?" If you don't have anything else to do, just go home and stay there!
"Since someone wants to murder Princess Huai...... Then Princess Huai shouldn't run out recently!
"It just so happens that the event in this Hibiscus Garden is over! You can rest in the house! Kneel down! β
Wen Jin Mian Sheng, you haven't said a word yet...... Gone with the freedom to go out?
Is this going to be on your knees?
Then she waited at the gate of the palace last night and waited all night, wouldn't she be lonely?
"Did my father misunderstand something? The prince begged for a strict investigation of this case, not for the sake of his daughter-in-law! β
"Not for you? Scold! The Emperor sneered.
"Although the daughter-in-law hosted the Furong Garden Competition, although she plans to make a profit from the competition, she will take it all out to serve the court and share her father's worries for ......"
The emperor's eyes lit up slightly, "Uh, you say...... All? β
"Despite this, the daughter-in-law is still just a little girl! Why can't people be so impatient, even the years have passed! Do you have to take the life of your daughter-in-law before the New Year?! β
The emperor frowned, his expression no longer repulsive, but nodded.
But he glanced at Xiao Yuchen with disgust, "Hmph! β
Wen Jin hurriedly said: "The prince is not ignorant of the severity, just because of his daughter-in-law, he asks the emperor to pay special attention to this matter!" The prince is because he cares about his father! β
"Heh, you guys speak better than Furong Garden!"
"If it weren't for the favor of my father, how could the prince be where he is today? The prince is favored by his father, and naturally he respects and cares about his father.
"The prince asks for strict investigation and strict handling of this matter, and it is not for the sake of his daughter-in-law. It's really for my father, for my father's country! β
When the emperor heard this, his eyes slowed slightly.
Wen Jin pulled Xiao Yuchen to kneel on the ground together, "If the prince says something that angers his father, he still begs his father to see that he cares about it...... Don't worry about your son and daughter-in-law. β
The Emperor snorted, his tone softened considerably, "I know your filial piety. But these two things are just a coincidence! β
"If it's just a coincidence, why now? When the foreign envoys came, when the Hibiscus Garden Contest was a great success? Wen Jin asked rhetorically.
The Emperor was silent for a moment, "...... It may also be that Yu'er is mistaken, he is just a child after all! β
"As long as it threatens the safety of my father, I would rather believe it than believe it.
"This is Kyoto, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch!" When Wen Jin spoke, his eyes were red, and there were tears in his eyelashes, and his feelings were sincere.
The emperor was stunned and couldn't help but be a little moved.
Wen Jin made persistent efforts, "The Hibiscus Garden Competition was a great success, and the daughter-in-law has always hoped that she can take advantage of this to set up a women's school, so that women all over the world can also serve their fathers!" At this time, he assassinated his daughter-in-law...... It's not the daughter-in-law who wants to be killed! It's to erase the grand aspiration of the courtiers-in-law and the women of the world to serve their fathers and emperors! β
The emperor narrowed his eyes, "It's just a replacement at this time, and I haven't agreed yet......"
"But the envoys of the Song State and the envoys of the Qi Kingdom have already asked their daughters-in-law about the undertaking, planning, and follow-up arrangements of this competition! The envoys of the Three Kingdoms have already seen that this matter will be like a spark that will ignite the prairie and bring extraordinary influence! Wen Jindao.
The Emperor frowned, "You've already told them?" β
"Without the permission of my father, my daughter-in-law didn't dare. The daughter-in-law told them that the matter would go through Honglu Temple. The attack on the daughter-in-law, the secret passage of the post house, the kidnappers in the annex in the west of the city...... Linked ...... Father, the person behind this is so bad that it is my big plan! β
The Emperor narrowed his eyes, "The assassin is now in prison?"
"Gao Xing, Xiao Yuchen prepare...... I want to go out of the palace! Go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment! β
