"Sister Spring Equinox, wait, don't go in." Seeing the Spring Equinox holding a tray, the maid who was standing outside the door seemed to be planning to enter the door, so she quickly reached out to stop her: "Master, Madam, and Miss are talking inside, don't let anyone in."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of smashing porcelain from the room, and the face of the spring equinox and the little maid changed slightly, and took a few steps back.
The master and the wife are very good-natured and rarely lose their temper. The last time I was so angry was many years ago when the Ming family in Lingzhou pretended to be a young lady with a little girl.
After a while, the equinox waited until the door opened from the inside.
The old man in Tsing Yi looked very calm, so calm that it was frightening. He adjusted his sleeves and said indifferently: "Spring Equinox, I accidentally knocked over a set of tea vessels just now, you have someone to clean up the house."
"Okay, sir." The Spring Equinox walked into the room, saw the red eyes of the lady, and thought worriedly, could it be that the lady was wronged in the palace
She and the maids bent over to pick up the pieces.
"Sister Spring Equinox, be careful with your hands." Jiuzhu noticed that the Spring Equinox was distracted, and reminded her in a low voice: "The broken porcelain pieces are very sharp."
"Don't worry, miss, slaves are used to doing this kind of work." Spring Equinox looked up at Jiuzhu, and did not see any sadness on the young lady's face. She calmed down and cleaned the house.
When I walked out of the room, I saw the young lady leaning on the lady and acting like a spoiled child, as if to appease the lady's emotions.
Seeing this scene, she, who was still a little worried, suddenly felt relieved. No matter how sad the master and his wife are, it will be a lot more gratifying to have the young lady to accompany them.
Over the years, Mrs. has always been unable to help buying things that the little girl likes. When she sees the fabrics with fresh colors, she will always recite a few words about what style of skirt looks good.
Then it became extremely silent.
"Sister Spring Equinox, what happened in the house just now?" the little maid asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's just that the master accidentally broke the tea cup." The spring equinox restrained the expression on his face: "Don't stay here, go do something."
"By the way, Sister Spring Equinox, I heard that Miss brought us a gift from the palace, waiting for you to share it with us."
Listening to the chatter and laughter of the little maids, the Spring Equinox shook his head and smiled helplessly. Others are going away to bring gifts for their family members.
Probably all these things were given by the concubine Su Guifei.
Thinking of the relationship between the young lady and His Royal Highness King Chen, the smile on the Spring Equinox's face became more obvious.
As long as the young lady has a good relationship with His Royal Highness, it is better than anything else.
"Sister Spring Equinox." A little palace maid ran in, holding a box in her hand: "Sister, a father-in-law from the palace came in a hurry just now, saying that these things are used by the young lady in the palace, and the concubine is worried that the young lady will return. After leaving the house, I didn't deserve it, so I specially urged someone to send a box."
When I opened the wooden box on the spring equinox, it contained my daughter's household hand-care cream. The wind and cold in the autumn and winter seasons hurt the hands the most. The girl from a wealthy family spent a lot of thought on raising her delicate hands.
She shook her head and laughed. The lady in the palace raised her young lady as her own daughter.
"Is the hand cream sent to the Ming family?" King Chen asked the eunuch behind him.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, what the slaves handed over to the servants of the Ming family also indicated that it was something that the empress gave to the Ming county master." The little eunuch said with a smile: "How dare the slaves perfunctory to do what you ordered."
"Yeah." King Chen nodded, his daughter's hands were delicate, so just rub the ointment on, so that the hands don't have to feel uncomfortable.
"His Royal Highness, why do you say that it was sent by the imperial concubine?" The little eunuch approached King Chen: "In this way, doesn't the county owner not know your intentions?"
"What is such a small thing worth, and it can be called a heart?" King Chen sneered: "Don't talk nonsense, things are better than anything else."
"Your Highness." A blue-clothed eunuch walked up to King Chen and saluted.
"What's the matter?" King Chen recognized this eunuch as the servant of the Taiyang Palace.
"Eunuch Liu asked the slave to invite His Highness, saying that he would take you to a place."
"This king understands." King Chen was silent for a moment, then got up to find Liu Zhongbao, and followed him to the Royal Heavenly Prison guarded by the Dragon Guard.
"His Royal Highness, here are the two lost slaves from the Zheng family." Liu Zhongbao pointed at the two people in the prison, who looked timid and timid: "These two people also participated in the assassination of you and your concubine. s plan."
King Chen looked at the scar on one of them's chin with deep eyes: "This king has seen him before, he is a steward of the Zheng family."
At that time, when Jiu Zhu saw this man, his expression was a little wrong, so he asked him to squat in the corner.
The guardian dragon guard took Scar's confession and put it in the hands of King Chen. He quickly scanned the content inside, and finally landed on the content that killed the little girl, frowning tightly.
After staring at this content for a long time, he slowly folded the paper: "Where are the Zheng family locked up?"
"Your Highness, please come with this old slave." Liu Zhongbao led King Chen inside.
The more they walked inside, the quieter they became, and the prisoners were all sitting honestly, and no one was making a fuss. Even when King Chen passed by, they only dared to kneel on the ground, unable to say a word.
"Your Highness, this is the place." Liu Zhongbao stopped and pointed to the two cells: "Your Majesty is merciful, let them be separated from men and women."
"His Royal Highness King Chen!" Zheng Zhen saw King Chen standing outside the cell, and crawled up from the bed and rushed to the door: "His Royal Highness, we have been wronged, please let us go..."
Before she could finish speaking, Madam Zheng covered her mouth with her hand. Madam Zheng pulled her daughter to her knees: "Your Highness, the little girl is ignorant and offended His Highness, please forgive me."
King Chen glanced at the mother and daughter, then turned to face the room where the men of the Zheng family were imprisoned: "Where is the bear child of the Zheng family?"
"The elders and children of the Zheng family are temporarily locked in the other courtyard of the Zheng family. Until the case is investigated, they will be guarded by the Imperial Guards." Liu Zhongbao explained: "It is cold in the sky prison, and the elderly and children can't stand it."
King Chen nodded. He stood in the aisle and looked at the men of the Zheng family across the prison bars.
A young man was wearing a prison uniform with dirty and messy hair. When he saw him, he tried desperately to hide in the corner. He remembered the person's name: "Zheng Wangnan?"
Zheng Wangnan shivered for a while, then he climbed to the door of the prison and knelt down to King Chen: "Your Highness, my father is seriously ill, please arrange for a doctor to give him medicine."
Mr. Zheng has been sick all the time, and seeing some improvement, the Zheng family was thrown into the sky prison again, and he lay down completely.
Looking at Mr. Zheng lying on the stone bed without moving, King Chen chuckled lightly: "I heard that the sick person feels light, this king has been standing here for so long, and Mr. Zheng has no response. The person is already dead. Are you still unwilling to speak to this king?"
Zheng Wangnan's face was pale: "Your Highness, my father is too ill to get up, please forgive me."
"Oh." King Chen raised his eyebrows: "Since he is so ill, there must be no cure for medicine. If your Zheng family committed such a serious crime, don't waste the medicinal materials on a crippled person who is destined to be saved."
The Zheng family looked at King Chen angrily, but did not dare to refute.
"Cough, cough." Mr. Zheng, who was lying on the bed unresponsive, moved twice when the atmosphere was the most anxious. He coughed and tried to get up from the stone bed.
"The cough is loud and powerful, it doesn't look like he's seriously ill." King Chen saw that he was wriggling on the stone bed for a long time without getting up, he turned his head and said to Liu Zhongbao, "There is a saying that the scourge will leave a thousand years, this king is looking at Mr. Zheng's illness. , I don't need to look at any doctor or take any medicine, maybe I will be locked up in the sky prison for a while, and I will be fine."
When the Zheng family heard this, they almost didn't cry. This kind of fallacy, can a normal person say it
The wriggling Mr. Zheng finally fell from the bed and fell to the ground. He shrank his hands, shrank his feet, and reluctantly assumed a posture of throwing himself to the ground: "The sinner greets His Royal Highness King Chen."
"Eunuch Liu, do you think this king is a panacea?" King Chen clicked his tongue: "Look, this king is only standing here for a while. Master Zheng, who was unable to move, can kowtow to this king."
Liu Zhongbao smiled and nodded, "Your Highness is right."
King Chen slapped himself with his palm twice, and the smile on his face disappeared: "Since you are awake, then tell this king well, why did you send someone to assassinate the king and the noble concubine? To murder the royal bloodline, Who gave your Zheng family the courage?"
"His Royal Highness." Mr. Zheng's voice was weak: "The sinner really doesn't know who ordered that evil slave to dare to commit such a heinous crime. All of this is his frame. The sinner suspects that this is behind the scenes. The real intention of the real murderer."
"What do you mean, the real murderer behind the scenes spent so much effort and went around in such a big circle just to get along with your Zheng family?" King Chen seemed to hear a joke: "What do you think your Zheng family has? , is it worth dealing with like this?"
"Why do you need so much effort to clean up your Zheng family?" King Chen raised his chin: "You're already locked in the Heavenly Prison, why are you still so self-righteous?"
The humiliated Zheng family: "… "
Really, if they weren't in prison, if the other party were not the prince, they would have pushed him into the mud pit and stomped on him with their feet.
How can there be such a nasty person in the world who speaks so arrogantly
"This king urges you to be honest." King Chen sighed, as if he was the best talker in the world: "You all know this king's temper, if you make it clear, maybe this king will read it for your honesty's sake. , give you some face."
"If it makes this king unhappy." King Chen stretched out his index finger and nodded their heads: "It will kill people."
"Your Highness, the sinner really doesn't know..."
"Someone." King Chen raised his hand: "Take Zheng Wangnan into the clean room and find a skilled old man to help him get rid of his troubles."
"His Royal Highness!" Madam Zheng was holding the prison bar, anxious: "His Royal Highness, Wang Nan doesn't know anything, I beg His Highness to let him go!"
"Are you asking for mercy from this king?" King Chen smiled and shook his head: "Unfortunately, this king is in a bad mood today, so it's useless to ask for mercy."
"His Royal Highness King Chen, you can't abuse lynching!" In desperation, Zheng Zhen shouted loudly: "The world is your majesty's world, not your Yun Duqing's words!"
As soon as the words came out, Zheng Zhen regretted it, and the prison was dead silent.
There was the sound of someone's footsteps behind her, and she looked anxiously towards the end of the aisle, only to see a man in a light-colored brocade robe and a white fox cloak walking towards him.
near, near.
After she saw the face of the person who came, she was overjoyed: "His Royal Highness King Qi!"
"Miss Zheng." Liu Zhongbao reminded with a smile: "This is His Royal Highness Prince Qi, don't call it wrong."
