"After your majesty found out the sheep's hesitation, they were controlled everywhere. The maid was afraid to leave rashly, but attracted people's attention, so she never came back... But don't worry, princess. When the maid came back this morning, she threw away everything, and she will never find the princess!"
"Better so! If you bring trouble to the palace, the palace will have your skin peeled!" Princess Yongjia's eyes were very heavy.
Xu Mingyi failed to teach him a lesson and told the other party to be in the limelight. It's extremely bad. We must never have the trouble of losing his wife and breaking the army again.
Hearing the threat, Dong Zhi, the maid who had just been slapped, responded with a trembling voice, and her eyes were very red.
She grew up with the princess when she was young. I don't know how many black pots and covers she has taken for the princess in Mizhou over the years. I thought the princess treated her differently from others... But now the princess has a little trouble. She opens her mouth and wants to kill her. It's common to insult and slap her in the face.
If the princess was just willful and reckless in the past, she can now be described as cruel and cruel.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded outside. Soon, a maid passed a message across the curtain: "tell the princess, Lin Tong has come here and said he was ordered to search everywhere. Now I'm here. I wonder if the princess can be convenient..."
All knew the princess's temper, and the maid's inquiring voice was very careful.
Princess Yongjia looked at Dongzhi who was still kneeling in front of her.
Dongzhi hurriedly whispered, "don't worry, princess. They'll search it..."
She was not stupid enough to leave her ready-made handle with her.
Princess Yongjia said, "let them in."
The maid answered "yes" and withdrew to answer.
"Kneeling here against this face for fear that those people of the arrest guard would not suspect the palace?" Princess Yongjia sat down in her chair and frowned and said, "get out of here!"
"Yes... Your servant is leaving." Dongzhi quickly got up, hung her head and stepped back.
……
At the same moment, Emperor Zhaozhen arranged everything and just returned to his residence.
He wanted to go to the study, but he saw Haishi waiting at the corridor coming forward: "Your Majesty, my concubine heard that Miss Xu's horse was frightened and crazy today. It was very dangerous, and his Highness the prince was injured... Can you find out who did it?"
Although she came to Quanhe palace with her entourage, she didn't go to the hunting ground with her today, so she couldn't see everything.
"It's still under search." emperor Zhaozhen didn't say much. Seeing that she didn't look very well, he said, "since she's not feeling well, let's have a rest earlier. I'll go to the study first."
He has discussed with his mother. After returning to the city this time, no matter whether Sonny's marriage has made progress or not, the matter of resettling Hayes must begin to arrange.
"Your Majesty..."
As soon as emperor Zhaozhen turned around, he heard Hai's way: "I've thought about your Majesty's proposal in the moon Tower last time, but I still have some important things to say to your majesty... Can you delay your majesty for a moment?"
Emperor Zhaozhen turned around and looked at her. The sky was chaotic, and he had held the lamp, which clearly reflected the tension and solemnity on her face.
After a moment of thinking, Emperor Zhaozhen nodded slightly.
Over the years, Heidegger has saved him a lot of trouble, and he has always fulfilled his commitments. Up to now, it can be said that they do not owe each other, but it would be better if they could get together and disperse well.
If the other party wants to put forward conditions with him, he will try to meet them within his ability.
Emperor Zhaozhen and Haishi came to the inner room, and the people of Yiying palace retreated and guarded outside.
"My concubine is stupid by nature and really can't afford to be the queen... Your Majesty's consideration is right..." Heidegger's voice was low and ashamed, paused and said again: "it's just Sonny..."
"Don't worry, even if you leave the capital, it won't affect her daughter's home." emperor Zhaozhen said, "it's still up to you to decide whether to explain to her, how to settle down later, and whether to take her away from here."
This is Heidegger's child. He has no right to decide for them from beginning to end.
All he can do is fulfill his promise, protect their lives and give them an identity that is enough to stand in front of others.
Previously, he connected Heidegger to central Beijing and accepted the canonization according to the system. He really didn't want to be a princess. After he was established, he has been used to being single over the years. He just thinks it's not impossible to get along with Heidegger when he continued to be in Mizhou.
But the mother was right. The queen was different from Princess Yan after all. Heidegger was not suitable to be a queen.
Over the past few months, he has seen it more or less. Heidegger is not comfortable sitting in this position and often feels at a loss.
And the queen mother told him that Heidegger might treat him
In the past, he had little mind to pay attention to the back house. After his mother's reminder and careful thinking, he realized that it was possible
In that case, we should stop the loss in time.
He can't give Heidegger what she wants at all, and if there are waves in people's hearts for a long time, it is most likely to hurt others and herself——
Finish early. It's good for him, Heidegger and the people around him.
Haishi was silent for a moment and nodded gently: "yes, whether I say it or not, my concubine will persuade and appease sang'er before leaving..."
With tears in his eyes, he raised his hand and poured two cups of tea and said, "Your Majesty has been protecting you over the years. My concubine and I are very grateful. I was lucky to meet your majesty 15 years ago... In the future, my concubine and I will chant scriptures and pray for your majesty and Daqing day by day, so as to wish your majesty good health and everything goes well..."
"Now I'll replace wine with tea. Thank you for your kindness." she took a cup of tea and smiled in tears.
"You and I take what we need. I'm just fulfilling my promise. There's no need to thank you." emperor Zhaozhen still took the tea and said, "I'll arrange everything for you. In the future, you can live as you want."
Heidegger's fingers holding the tea cup turned white and reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth: "thank you, your majesty..."
But what she wanted was never freedom. All she wanted was to stay with him.
Heidegger moved a little rigidly and put the tea lamp to her mouth - she had been arranged to move forward for the rest of her life, and this time she also wanted to live according to her heart.
Looking at her tense look, Emperor Zhaozhen didn't know what he thought and didn't drink the tea for a while.
Just at this time, there was a sound of footsteps and conversation outside the window.
Emperor Zhaozhen put down the tea.
Looking at the motionless tea soup, Haishi was a little anxious, but the messenger had come to the outside room and reported through the screen: "Your Majesty, Lin Tongling asked for an audience."
"Let someone in."
Emperor Zhaozhen immediately got up and went outside.
"..." Heidegger then got up and opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't dare to shout people out.
Mammy quickly came in, took a look at the tea on the small table, and asked silently with her eyes.
Heidegger frowned and shook his head at her. His mood fluctuated.
Mammy glanced at the outside room and motioned her not to worry. There was still a chance.
Such matters are not urgent at all. The more urgent they are, the more flaws will be revealed. Moreover, your majesty has always been vigilant.
Heidegger sat back and tried to calm himself down, thinking about what to do next.
However, the next moment, when I heard the voice from outside, I became nervous again——
"All the residences inside and outside the palace have been searched, and the minister has ordered others to go to the gardens." the middle-aged man's voice sounded with a respectful request for instructions: "at present, only the residence of your majesty and the queen has not been searched yet -"
Emperor Zhaozhen's voice sounded: "just act according to the rules, and there must be no omission."
He must have a clear result of today's surprise.
"Empress..." Mammy was surprised and subconsciously looked at the jade nine lion on the small table to cover the stove.
Hayes got up again nervously and motioned her to clean up quickly.
Mammy was about to go, but someone came in.
The leader was Lin Tongling. He raised his hand and saluted respectfully: "I was ordered to search everywhere. In order to avoid bumping into my mother, I asked her to wait outside."
Heidegger clenched his fingers in his sleeve and said, "but... The palace hasn't left since he lived here. It's expected that the thief can't hide things here."
Lin Tongling was slightly stunned and immediately said, "there is no absolute thing. If the empress is afraid of our rough hands and feet, she can also make the internal prison search on behalf of us."
Heidegger wanted to say more. She saw mammy shaking her head slightly and her eyes full of reminders - if the empress stopped again, it would arouse suspicion... Not to mention that her Majesty was still listening outside!
And they may not be able to search how carefully. This is the residence of the emperor and empress. I expect there will be some taboos. It's probably just a formality!
"The palace just said it casually. Please help yourself..." Hai Shiqiang calmly stepped out of the inner room.
Emperor Zhaozhen sat in the outer hall. The arrest guard in the courtyard was allowed to wander around like a fish in the dark tide in the night and search everywhere.
"The Queen's face seems to be getting worse, but what's wrong?" emperor Zhaozhen asked calmly.
Heidegger's heart jumped wildly and replied calmly as far as possible, "it's just some headaches. They're all old problems."
"Headache can be big or small. It's not suitable to treat it carelessly. It's better to ask the imperial doctor to come and see." emperor Zhaozhen even made people call the imperial doctor Zheng.
Heidegger was afraid of saying more and making more mistakes, so he didn't dare to say no.
She said "thank you, your majesty". She sat down in the chair slowly, and her ears were always watching the movement in the interior.
The sounds of searching kept hitting her heart.
Before long, Lin Tongling turned back and showed the things in his hand to the people. He asked the head mother, "what is this?"
What he held in the palm of his hand were several dark pills.
Heidegger's eyes shrunk and his fingers trembled.
The head mother was quite calm and hurriedly replied, "this is a pill to calm the nerves."
These people actually opened the censer!
This pill was put in by her. First, it was to prevent being found out. Second, it was used as a contingency. If your majesty had not drunk the tea and found a chance to burn this pill, it would have the same effect.
But now... It was found out by mistake because of what surprised the horse today!
"Fragrant pill?" emperor Zhaozhen looked at Heidegger: "I remember the queen doesn't like fragrant pills, and the aroma often aggravates headache."
For those suspicious eyes, Heidegger was in a panic - did she reveal any flaws?
She didn't dare to show her hesitation. She hurriedly said, "my concubine... My concubine doesn't know when this fragrant pill was prepared."
Mammy secretly regretted what she had just said. At present, she had to answer: "it was the maid who was good at making suggestions. She was afraid that her mother would sleep restlessly after she came to the palace. This was brought in for a rainy day. Today, her mother had a headache, so she didn't take it out."
"Which imperial doctor prescribed this anshenxiang pill?" emperor Zhaozhen asked again.
Mammy also played a drum in her heart. She didn't dare to pull the lie that would be broken immediately. She cautiously replied, "it was brought by her maid from Mizhou."
"Although I believe it, just in case, I'd better have it tested by doctor Zheng." emperor Zhaozhen looked at the people and said, "in this way, it can avoid the suspicion of the queen afterwards."
Doctor Zheng arrived soon.
"Tell your majesty, there is no poison of sheep wandering in this pill..." doctor Zheng's face was very complicated: "it's just..."
Then his eyes flickered and floated to the left and right.
If you say so, why don't you feel embarrassed enough to dig out the second Quanhe palace?
Emperor Zhaozhen frowned slightly: "just what? The imperial doctor, please speak frankly."
Looking at the emperor's mind, doctor Zheng could only harden his head and whispered, "it's just... This pill has the effect of promoting lust..."
Although his voice was low, it did not prevent everyone present from listening clearly.
For a moment, the room was quiet.
Heidegger's face was so red that he could hardly sit still.
"This... How could this be!" mammy made a look of surprise and knelt down two steps: "Your Majesty's mirror, the maidservant really brought only tranquilizing pills, which must have been replaced!"
Zheng taiyilin and others were shocked to hear this - who would be crazy to do this!
It should be noted that this is the residence of the empress. It urges... Cough and promotes the feelings of the empress. What are the benefits?
Looking at the mother again, it was also vaguely clear - this was probably the intention of the queen alone. She had not told her Majesty in advance. The head mother was afraid of being blamed, so she had this sophistry.
And back ten thousand steps, the queen also wants face... It's really embarrassing for them to listen to it.
But I thought the empress was very affectionate, but now it seems that it is not as it seems
People have gossip and fire in their hearts, but they seem to be deaf and never hear anything.
Emperor Zhaozhen's eyes made people unable to see happiness and anger.
He did detect the abnormality of Heidegger.
But he never thought it would be such an unbearable means
In this way, it is not difficult to infer what is strange in that tea.
"It's really unruly to search even my father here." Princess Yongjia saw a wanted guard walking around in the courtyard, frowned and said casually.
She was still a little uneasy, so she wanted to come here to explore her father's style, so as to judge whether she found anything.
However, as soon as she came to the corridor, she realized the strange atmosphere in the hall.
Why is mammy kneeling there?
What happened?
The inner warden outside the hall passed word into the hall. Princess Yongjia was allowed to go in and took a look at her mother sitting there with red and white faces. Just about to ask, she saw a wanted guard walking out of the inner room——
The detective guard held a box covered with black cloth in his hand.
"Your Majesty, I found it between the back of the bed and the wall."
The head mother looked at it subconsciously and wondered where it came from?
When Heidegger's eyes touched the black box, the blood color on his face faded, and a great chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
This is... What she is most afraid of being found!
