Qian Jiujiu really couldn"t understand her mother"s actions. Why did she have this kind of expression? It was as if she didn"t want to marry Mu Yexiao, so she couldn"t help but roll her eyes."Alright, Mom, it"s getting late. Why don"t you sleep with me tonight?"
Wan Yin could only nod helplessly. "Alright, then let"s quickly wash up and rest. I"ve climbed for an entire day today, and I"m tired as well."
The mother and daughter pair washed up for a while, then directly fell asleep. This time, no one made any noise, so they slept until dawn, and waited for Qian Jiujiu to wake up.
Mu Yexiao had already gone to the morning a.s.sembly. The morning a.s.sembly was as usual, the eunuch"s loud and sharp voice shouted: "There is no reason to leave the a.s.sembly now."
Just as the eunuch finished shouting these words, Imperial Physician Xiao immediately stood up. "Your Majesty, this humble subject has something to begin with."
The emperor looked at Xiao Cheng. Xiao Cheng was the Imperial Physician, and the reason why he had Xiao Cheng was because he wanted to be a retainer. Ever since Xiao Cheng became the Imperial Physician.
He was very dedicated, very responsible, and every single time, he would have a basis for reason. The emperor was also very trusting of him, so he looked at Xiao Cheng and asked, "Who do you want to go with?"
Xiao Cheng kneeled down, "This humble subject wants to consult with the princess of the Xiao Prince, and occupy the homes of good citizens outside the city."
When these words left his mouth, everyone looked towards Mu Yexiao who was sitting on the wheelchair. Although Mu Yexiao was sitting on the wheelchair, his abilities were extremely strong, and it was actually Xiao Cheng that was a little unexpected.
He had already expected that the Lin Family would not let this matter rest, but he did not expect it to be so. Xiao Cheng pushed him out.
This Xiao Cheng was a very good official, but he never thought that he would be able to reach the bottom line and partic.i.p.ate together with his mother in Consort Xian.
The emperor naturally did not believe that Qian Jiujiu would do such a thing, furthermore, he knew her son. Whatever Qian Jiujiu wanted, she would deliver to her very soon.
He did not need to plunder the property of a good citizen, and looked at Xiao Cheng with interest. In fact, he was sighing in his heart, if this Xiao Cheng had truly sided with his parents in the Consort Xian, it would be a pity.
It was rare for there to be a good official in the imperial court who would seek for the welfare of the people. Thinking about it here, the Emperor felt that he should still give Xiao Cheng a chance.
Xiao Cheng raised his head, and looked at the emperor with a face full of confidence: "This humble subject has not been mistaken, it"s just the Princess Xiao, and this was from the Princess Xiao"s own mouth."
"Some commoners heard it personally and came to tell this humble subject. They said that it was the Princess Xiao who took over that good citizen"s medicine garden."
Xiao Cheng spoke in a fluent manner for a good while, until he completely ignored the servants of the Master Lin, and instead directly spoke out what Qian Jiujiu had said. The corner of Mu Yexiao"s mouth twitched.
He looked at Xiao Cheng, "Master Xiao, did you see it with your own eyes? Do you know the responsibility of the Censorate? "
Xiao Cheng looked at Mu Yexiao, his eyes filled with deep disappointment: "This official naturally knows of my responsibilities, but as the censor, I will naturally not let this matter go."
"Although I didn"t see it with my own eyes, it was all seen by the loyal servants of the family. I"ve also personally gone to inspect the market, but this matter has occurred."
Mu Yexiao scoffed, "royal father, I hope that royal father can send someone to investigate this matter once again. In addition, you can also ask the people who have been bullied to come here and ask for details."
Xiao Cheng listened to Mu Yexiao: "Your Highness, are you planning to shield my wife?"
Mu Yexiao"s brows twitched: "Master, if you haven"t seen it for yourself, you shouldn"t be so decisive, why not shield it? My w.a.n.gfei hasn"t done anything wrong and doesn"t need anyone to cover her up. "
"What This King did was to let the truth be known. This King will not let anyone slander This King"s w.a.n.gfei."
The Emperor looked at Mu Yexiao"s righteous and arrogant face and couldn"t help but raise his eyebrows, "Does Xiao Prince trust your w.a.n.gfei this much?"
Mu Yexiao really wanted to roll his eyes, but he endured it in the end.
When the Third Prince heard this, he couldn"t help but look at Mu Yexiao. "Since Sixth Brother is here, why didn"t he stop Princess Xiao and let him make a mistake?"
Mu Yexiao shot a glance at Third Prince: "Is Third Brother unable to understand human speech? This King has already said that my w.a.n.gfei did not make a mistake. "
The Third Prince was completely stumped by Mu Yexiao"s words and insisted that the Princess Xiao did not do anything wrong.
The Emperor, however, looked at his two sons and came over after a while before he sent someone to announce, "Men, go to the Profound and enter the palace. And also the oppressed good people. "
Upon hearing the emperor"s words, everyone was shocked. It seemed like the emperor was going to bring this matter to trial on the spot.
From the looks of it, in the future, when the people from his family saw the Princess Xiao, their att.i.tudes would be better.
In the past, the most he could do was to find a few ministers or hand them over to the Three Divisions to interrogate them. But this time, the emperor had directly asked about them.
As Qian Jiujiu was eating breakfast, she received an imperial eunuch who had come to pa.s.s the order. She looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Princess Xiao, the emperor has chosen you to enter the palace."
Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes, thinking that she hadn"t done anything wrong recently? It was even the Senior Servant Wan who looked at the young eunuch who had come to pa.s.s the order, "Does eunuch know what happened when the emperor summoned the w.a.n.gfei?"
Coincidentally, this young eunuch was one of the eunuchs who saw the emperor speak to Senior Servant Wan alone. He knew that this Senior Servant Wan was blessed with the emperor"s green eyes, so he naturally spoke his piece without restraint.
After Qian Jiujiu heard the eunuch"s words, she could not help but be stunned.
"This is all fresh. Let"s go take a look." So many villagers saw what happened yesterday. Was it that idiot"s idea? "
Hearing Qian Jiujiu"s words, the young eunuch naturally did not reply, because she did not know what to say. She could only lead the way.
Qian Jiujiu thought that she should enter the palace anyway and eat lunch at Qing Guifei"s palace. Thinking this way, Qian Jiujiu looked at Senior Servant Wan, "Momo, bring the mask that I gave to Concubine Mother with you."
"It"s just nice to enter the palace for lunch at the Concubine Mother Palace."
When the young eunuch in front heard Qian Jiujiu"s words, he could not help but feel speechless. Did you think that you went to the palace to eat? But speaking of this, this w.a.n.gfei"s att.i.tude was quite good.
The carriage quickly arrived at the Imperial Palace and Qian Jiujiu ordered the Senior Servant Wan, "Grandma, I"ll go take a look at the Main Hall. You can bring the mask over to the Concubine Mother.
"Qingyu, Hong Chou, stay with Senior Servant Wan."
The two maidservants bowed in respect, "This servant will save it."
Qian Jiujiu, accompanied by Hong Ling and Qing Lian, arrived at the entrance of the great hall. Hong Ling and Qing Lian were not allowed to enter, and only Qian Jiujiu herself was allowed to enter.
"Your daughter-in-law greets royal father. Long live your father, long live and long live your father."
The emperor looked down at Qian Jiujiu, coughed twice, and then called Qian Jiujiu back up: "You may rise, Princess Xiao, but do you know that there is a ginseng here?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at the Emperor with some suspicion. "I wonder what my daughter-in-law did wrong?"
As he said that, Qian Jiujiu looked around the great hall with suspicion, his face had a stupefied expression, as if he didn"t know anything.
Xiao Cheng obviously did not expect Qian Jiujiu to be such a person, and the words of the emperor were obviously a transmission of this sort. He instantly walked out, "This official greets Princess Xiao, it"s you, this lowly official."
Qian Jiujiu blinked, and looked at Xiao Cheng: "What did you say? What have I done? "
"Why does Princess Xiao have to pretend to be innocent here? "Yesterday, outside the city, you openly chased away the Lin Family guards and said that the medicine garden that you had taken a fancy to was yours."
Qian Jiujiu made an "oh" sound, and looked at Xiao Cheng with an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Then Does Master Xiao know who the medicine garden originally belonged to?"
Xiao Cheng frowned: "I have investigated before, the medicine garden is originally the Lin Family"s property, even if you are in a hurry to use the herbs, you can pay for it."
"According to what this official knows, the Xiao Prince does not lack money."
Qian Jiujiu sneered: "Really? Where did Lord Xiao find out? That medicine garden is the Lin Family"s property? "
Xiao Cheng was stunned for a moment, but still answered honestly. He looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Naturally, it"s in the yamen. The yamen of the capital also has a red contract, which proves that the medicinal garden belongs to the Lin Family."
Qian Jiujiu coughed twice without a word and only looked at Xiao Cheng with a smile that was not a smile: "Master Xiao, this w.a.n.gfei has always heard that Master Xiao is a good official."
"Your heart is set on the welfare of the people and you dared to go against the n.o.ble and powerful. It"s just that I never thought that your lordship would go against the n.o.ble and powerful like this. I"ve truly gained some knowledge!"
Xiao Cheng"s face flushed red because of Qian Jiujiu"s words: "What does Princess Xiao mean by this?"
Qian Jiujiu also did not want to talk to Xiao Cheng anymore. "Let"s wait for the good citizen that you speak of to come first."
As he spoke, the eunuch came in from outside. "Your majesty, all the people involved in this matter have come. Do you wish to announce them into the great hall?"
The Emperor nodded. "Since you"ve come, then come in."
As soon as the emperor"s words fell, the eunuch shouted, "Bring people in to the palace."
Qian Jiujiu coughed twice. These words made it seem as if she was a prisoner. Standing on the side and looking at the people that entered, it was unexpectedly the group of servants that were chased out of the Yu family yesterday.
He could not help but be a little speechless as he looked at Xiao Cheng, "Master Xiao, is this the witness you spoke of?"
Xiao Cheng nodded. "Of course.
Qian Jiujiu coughed a little, when she suddenly thought that there might be something wrong with Xiao Cheng"s head. "This w.a.n.gfei suddenly suspects that there might have been some injustice in the case that you handled in the past."
