Chapter 547: To be clean
Chapter 547 Do it cleanly
Madam Jiang nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "It's his blessing to meet Niang Niang."
"Don’t say that, what blessing do I have for others... After all, thanks to you for helping me over the years."
If she can, how much she wants to send everyone around her out safely.
I don't know what was thinking, the queen's mind gradually drifted away.
Grandma Jiang watched this scene, thinking of Niang Niang's sentence, "The matter is roughly finished" in her heart. She felt a little uneasy for some reason, so she took a cup of tea and held it over: "Niang, you have a cup of tea..."
The queen took the tea cup and drank slowly.
In the Hall of Nourishing Heart, Emperor Qingming summoned Xia Tingzhen to discuss with Ji Xiu.
Listening to the emperor's explanation to Ji Xiu, Xia Tingzhen remained silent on her face, but her heart was already agitated.
"Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine." Li Ji reminded him timely, his voice slightly hoarse.
Qiao Bing's matter has been delayed, and he received twenty sticks of punishment on his body, and suffered a small illness yesterday.
Seeing Emperor Qingming nodded, Xia Tingzhen and Ji Xiu got up at the right time, saluted and left.
After exiting the inner hall, Ji Xiu took a quick step forward and stepped down the white jade stone steps.
At this moment, the inner supervisor who walked out of the tea room beside him came over with a tray, and was about to come to the door of the hall.
He bowed his head all the way, and just bumped into Xia Tingzhen who came out of the palace.
In a panic, the teapot held in the hands of the inner supervisor hit her feet, and the freshly brewed tea splashed Xia Tingzhen's body.
"How to do it! It's impossible to do it without eyes!" The **** in charge immediately cursed: "Don't hurry up with Master Shoufu to make amends!"
The inner supervisor's complexion faded, and he knelt down and said, "Master Shoufu, forgive me, Master Shoufu, forgive me!"
Then he quickly raised his head and hurriedly took his sleeves to wipe off the tea on his shoes and boots for the adult in front of him. Seeing that the sleeve of the official robe was also wet with a piece of tea, he took another one. Only the sleeves are wiped off.
Hurrying to wipe the room, half of the folded paper leaked from the sleeves of the inner supervisor, and it seemed to be stuffed into Xia Tingzhen’s sleeves through the cover of the action——
But only he himself knew that, in such a flickering moment, the piece of paper had returned to his sleeve again.
However, the managing eunuch, who has been watching his every move carefully, is destined not to think so--
The steward eunuch’s eyes flickered: “It’s all to blame for the slave's lax discipline. That's why this short-eyed thing collided with the adult. Should the slave take the adult to change clothes?”
Everything only happened in a short moment, Xia Tingzhen frowned and said coldly: "No need."
Then, with a cold face, he strode away.
The **** in charge saluteed him, then looked at the inmate who was kneeling in the same place, raised his eyebrows and reprimanded: "See that you are available on weekdays. This will put you in the position of serving tea. Bring me such trouble!"
"It was the slave who was negligent for a while, and I ask Mr. Liu to give the slave another chance!" Tears came out of the inner supervisor's eyes.
"Okay, don't pack it up quickly and get the penalty!"
"Yes, yes..." Xiaochenzi answered repeatedly, and quickly picked up the pieces of broken porcelain in front of him.
"It's really useless..." The **** in charge scolded, and looked at the little **** who seemed to be shrinking.
On the other side, Ji Xiu deliberately slowed down.
Seeing the damp dark marks on Xia Tingzhen's body, Ji Xiu smiled and said, "Master Xia seems to be quite unsatisfactory these days, Lord Zhen Guo is already on his way back to Beijing... Master Xia has a good calculation. Why did you miss it?"
Xia Tingzhen turned her head to look at him, and said coldly: "If there is no evidence, please tell Ji Shangshu carefully--"
Ji Xiu sneered.
He really has no evidence, and he doesn’t know anything about Xia Tingzhen and the emperor’s specific plans——
But the emperor summoned him to the palace today, all he was confessing that he would strengthen the defense of Gyeonggi Fan before and after Zhen Guogong returned to Beijing, and even allocated some troops to him—heh, if he didn’t do anything wrong, he was afraid of a fart?
Xia Tingzhen strode away, completely ignoring Ji Xiu's cynicism.
He never wastes his energy and mind on such meaningless words, especially the recent changes one after another——
Looking at the thin and straight back, Ji Xiu's eyes fell inch by inch.
He has always dreamed of his two sons lately.
I would dream of it before, but I have never dreamed of such a clear process. Everything I heard in the Yuanjia lacquerware shop that night was engraved in his mind, lingering day and night, slowly Slow knitting became a complete dream.
And every time he dreams, he feels as if he has experienced the pain of losing a child again. This kind of pain is now not only pain, but also hatred in it——
In his dream, he promised the two children that he would find out the truth for them and seek justice!
Two official sedan chairs were waiting outside the forbidden palace. The moment Xia Tingzhen sat in the official sedan chair, she closed her eyes and gradually gathered her hands on her lap.
Today the emperor told Ji Xiu everything in front of him, like a beating, but also like a temptation...
The poisonous killing of the town’s grandpa went on a business trip. After Yuepei, it was revealed again by mistake. It is normal for the emperor to anger him for this.
But he faintly felt that it didn’t seem to be the only way...
Could it be for Joe Bing?
Xia Tingzhen frowned and opened her eyes.
But how can this matter have anything to do with him? Even if the emperor is skeptical, there is no reason to doubt him...
The emperor’s mind is changeable, especially recently it has become more and more confusing.
And the Lord Zhen Guo will soon return to Beijing, I don’t know what the situation will be then...
These are far from his previous plan. Thinking of all the disadvantages for him, Xia Tingzhen's eyes showed a rare irritability.
After a few thoughts, he thought of Qiao Bing again.
He can almost conclude that this matter must have something to do with the queen——
And behind the queen is the Wu family...
If he can find evidence to prove this, even if it is only suspected evidence, at such a juncture, he is not afraid that the emperor, who is almost crazy, will not attack the Wu family——
He has no grievances with the Wu family, but if King Yan really wants to seize the throne, the biggest bargaining chip is the Wu family...
And he must not let King Yan sit in that position, otherwise he will have no way to survive...
If everything was to pave the way for the prosperity of the Xia family in the future, then in this situation, what he plans to do is just to save his life...
So now he only cares about one thing——
The emperor can die...
But before death, the emperor still needs to use himself to remove as many obstacles as possible for the little prince in the palace-speaking, this is also the responsibility of his majesty as a ‘father’, isn’t it?
Xia Tingzhen's eyes were deep, thinking about where to start investigating Wu's house.
……
In the Hall of Nourishing the Heart, Emperor Qingming put down the medicine bowl in his hand, took the tea from Li Ji and rinsed his mouth.
"Your Majesty, today is the death day of the Concubine Chen... Your Majesty is going to the Qingyang Palace to see it?" Li Ji put aside the tea cup and reminded him softly.
The concubine Chen is the birth mother of the prince, and she got sick three years ago.
On the death day of the previous two years, Your Majesty always had to go to the Qingyang Palace to stay for a while.
"Let the people below do it according to the rules, and I won't pass." Emperor Qingming frowned in annoyance, not thinking about these trivial matters.
Li Ji answered "Yes".
Yes, your Majesty doesn’t even do it now.
I can see that the inner supervisor holding the medicine bowl walks out of the inner hall, waiting for the **** in the outer hall to enter, and tells what he has just seen.
"Note..." Emperor Qingming suddenly sat up straight after hearing the words, and asked in a deep voice, "Can you see clearly?"
"Yes, the slave can see clearly!" The **** in charge lowered his voice: "The little thing was holding the tea tray, pretending to accidentally bump into Xia Shoufu, and quietly stuffed the note in while wiping the tea. Xia Shoufu's sleeve..."
He has recently been ordered to lead someone to keep an eye on Xiao Chenzi, so he won’t miss any detail.
Emperor Qingming forced a sneer from his teeth.
"Okay, really good..."
Recently, because of Joe Bing’s thing, Miyazaka’s defense is tight, and the letter can’t be passed, so he started these small actions under his nose...
He should have thought about it. The only thing he knew was Xia Tingzhen as soon as he heard about the Lord Zhenguo that night. Most likely only Xia Tingzhen would have expected him to attack Qiao Bing that night!
Are you going to hide Joe Bing and use it as a bargaining chip to threaten him?
Or do you mean it—a voucher that you intend to dedicate to others and save your life on the day? !
His good teacher has always considered so far-reaching...He knows this point better than anyone!
On weekdays, he can open one eye and close the other for those secretly profiting actions of the other party, but if he has the intention of betraying him...
Because he had previously led him to suspect the queen and the national teacher, maybe it was just a habitual method!
"Where is the inner prisoner..." Emperor Qingming tried his best to restrain the anger that was almost dazzling. Recently, he has become more irritable and feels uncontrollable when his thoughts diverge.
"Return to your Majesty, just now the slave has let him down to receive the punishment."
"Bring people to see me——"
He wants to interrogate him personally!
"Yes." The **** in charge responded and retired.
"...hasn't anyone been here?"
The **** who came to the apse where the palace maid was punished on weekdays, but was unable to find anyone, frowned, "I know where I went!"
A confidant inner monitor whispered: “Since he came out of the tea room, he sneaked out of the side door, but you can rest assured that Liu Song sneaked up.”
The governing eunuch's eyebrows twitched.
slipped out...
What are you playing here?
Could it be...
Thinking of a possibility, the **** in charge hurriedly said: "You should also go out and look for it, so that Liu Song will not be able to watch it alone. Where, but who to meet..."
He must also quickly inform your majesty!
The **** in charge turned back to the dormitory, and informed Emperor Qingming that Xiao Chenzi had slipped out.
Emperor Qingming's eyes flashed a few times.
"Stare first, and once there is news, tell me immediately."
If you can bring out other people or clues, it’s also a good thing——
Now it seems that he can’t be too eager to make a conclusion about who the little **** is...
Outside the hall, the dusk is getting darker.
Xiao Chenzi copied the trail all the way and came to the imperial garden.
There was no one around at this time, and the sound of his footsteps became a lot more awakening.
The **** who followed him could only put his feet as light as possible and did not dare to follow him too close.
Xiaochenzi chose to walk in the dark, with only one thought in his mind-he must get rid of the other party, otherwise once he was discovered by the other party, he would have to be arrested and tortured for torture!
I am not afraid of torturing him severely.
But in this way, the scene is not so perfect...
And if the Niang Niang was alarmed, if the Niang Niang tried to save him secretly, wouldn’t it be easy for someone to get hold of it?
After all, Empress is too adventurous these days.
And he can't let his empress take risks for him.
He knew that something happened to Xiaojiezi.
Even though there was no news from the dark court, he had agreed with Xiaojiezi that the next day he would mark the dog hole in the dark court's backyard to convey the news.
Let Xiaojiezi take care of this matter, it is his own opinion, then he has to bear the consequences, and do it cleanly from beginning to end, and not to leave trouble to the empress...
Thinking of this in her heart, Xiao Chenzi's feet suddenly speeded up and stepped into the side path.
The supervisor who followed him felt strange, so he hurried to catch up.
Listening to the sound of footsteps coming behind him, Xiao Chenzi ran forward in the dark. I wonder if the night wind was too strong, making his eyes red and tears.
At the same moment, the prince came out of Qingyang Palace with two servants.
Today is the death of his mother and concubine. He came to take a look at his mother’s residence.
In previous years, the father and the emperor would also come together, this year he will be the only one.
"I want to sit in front." When passing a lotus pond, the prince slowed down and said: "You guys stay here."
The two waiters didn't say much, but they answered "Yes" and stopped obediently, but did not follow up.
His Royal Highness would often come to sit alone beside this lotus pond, and only let them guard from a distance each time.
There is a stone table beside the lotus pond, and the prince sits quietly, his eyes a little sour.
When the mother concubine was still there, the most frequent visit was here. At first, he only thought that the mother concubine Ailian, but later learned that it was because he would pass by here every day he reads——
When he was young, he was raised in the palace of the empress, and his mother and concubine were weak and low-born. Before giving birth to him, he was just a small waiter.
Therefore, he rarely had the opportunity to meet with his mother concubine, and the father and the emperor did not want him to find the mother concubine——
But he knew that the mother concubine always remembered him...
"Mother concubine, my son missed you..."
The boy's voice was so low that he couldn't hear him. He looked at the lotus pond that had been withered, and talked intermittently.
"I have always dreamed of you lately. Did you miss my son too?"
"Did you know that Ajin is also dead... He grew up with me. I accidentally caught the wind and cold before. My father blamed him for not taking care of me, so he punished him out. He was punished. So the root of the disease was left, and it was all his ministers who harmed him..."
"I will bury him well..."
"Father has stopped asking people to pay attention to me like they used to...probably because I am running out of time."
There is no bitterness in the boy's tone, and there is a slight sigh.
"But there is always something Erchen wants to do... Even if you can't be a character like General Xu, you can't leave nothing behind if you come to this world for a while..."
"Mother Concubine..."
At this time, the boy suddenly heard a noise from the grass not far away.
It’s not like the wind blowing...
"Who is there?"
The prince lowered his voice and asked tentatively.
……
Good evening everyone, I recommend our new book by Brother Jing again, it is fat enough.
"Chronicles of the Chu River"-the author's song of thorns.
Quickly pass through the small world of abuse scum, and the straight woman of steel slaps her face as the protagonist of Destiny.
