As soon as they finished speaking, the footsteps sounded louder and louder, and a group of people walked up to the second floor, led by Feng Xiuquan, the minister of punishment, and Zhao Kuangzhuo, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army. They all wore official uniforms and wore swords on their waists, and the people they brought were naturally members of the Ministry of Punishment and the Imperial Forest Army.
Zhao Kuangzhuo walked straight up in front of Master Jiu, first knelt down on one knee, and kowtowed to Master Jiu with cupped fists: "The commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Zhao Kuangzhuo, kowtowed to Master Jiu!" After kowtowing, he stood up and said in a businesslike manner , "Because of the investigation of the case involving the attack on the emperor, by the order of the emperor, I would like to ask Lord Jiu to accompany us to the Ministry of Criminal Justice! This is a routine questioning, please cooperate with Master Jiu!"
"Well, let's go! Since it is a major incident involving the attack on the emperor, I am duty-bound." Jiu Ye glanced at his people and reassured them, and he was about to follow them with every step.
Linghu Shuiyue took his hand and didn't want to let go, but Master Jiu patted her little hand three times and said, "Good boy! Wait for me at home, I'll be fine. If you're bored, I went to accompany the queen mother to read scriptures and recite Buddha."
Master Jiu asked her to find the queen mother? That meant wishing her well, she suddenly straightened her waist and asked, "Have you decided?"
"Yeah!" Master Jiu nodded again.
"That's good! I'll wait for you to go home!" Linghu Shuiyue knew that once again, Master Jiu needed her strong protection! If she can snatch him back from the clutches of the disease, then she can also rescue him from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Master Jiu was taken away, and Linghu Shuiyue and Princess Seven immediately entered the palace together to meet the Queen Mother. However, they never expected that the Empress Dowager sent Linghu Huori to the snow mountain to find snow ginseng for her because of her last illness. She thought that the Seventh Princess and Linghu Huori would not come back so soon, so she went to the Xishan Emperor Temple again. I went to Mrs. Chen Pingshuai.
Linghu Shuiyue knew that the Queen Mother loved Jiu Ye very much, and with the Queen Mother around, no one would dare to touch Jiu Ye. However, now that the queen mother is not here, it is a bit fatal. After entering the Ministry of Criminal Justice, who can guarantee that people can come out intact
The Seventh Princess asked to pick up the Queen Mother. Now that the snow ginseng has been brought back, the queen mother must be anxious to return to Beijing.
Linghu Shuiyue thought for a while, and asked Xiao Jiufeng to take the seventh princess to the Xishan Emperor's Temple, so it only took one day to go back and forth.
Linghu Huori said: "I'll go with Princess Seven!"
Linghu Shuiyue cast a suspicious look at Linghu Huori in a hurry.
Linghu Huori said to Linghu Shuiyue: "Sister, I am not the one who made trouble. The matter of our Linghu family has not yet been revealed. A single conversation is not enough to prove everything. Now it is to save Jiuye. Put the matter aside. I will fight him again when it is confirmed later." Jiu Ye once saved Linghu Huo Ri, and Linghu Huo Ri also has a certain understanding of Jiu Ye. Therefore, although hearing is believing, he is also willing to guard the last ray of hope.
Linghu Shuiyue nodded, held his brother's hand and said, "Thank you brother! Brother, I have a feeling that Master Jiu is not our enemy. Our enemy must have been teasing us in secret. If it was him, I would In the end, I will deal with him together with my brother." Linghu Shuiyue said resolutely.
"Okay!" Linghu Huori nodded, resolute, and went to find the queen mother with the seventh princess. He was not as sure as Linghu Shuiyue in his heart, but he was willing to settle the score with Jiu Ye after helping Jiu Ye out of danger.
Now, apart from going to the emperor directly, I am afraid that there is no other way. At this moment, two old nuns stopped Linghu Shuiyue's way, and one of them said: "My servant, see Princess You! This servant is here to convey the Queen's message. The Empress Dowager came back from looking for snow ginseng, and specially ordered slaves to invite Princess You to have a meal in the Empress' Jiaofang Palace."
When Linghu Shuiyue heard it, her heart skipped a beat! The queen invited her to dinner? Is this a Hongmen Banquet? Want to prevent her from going to see the emperor? Linghu Shuiyue said: "The emperor has ordered that when I return to Beijing, I must first meet the emperor."
An old nanny said, "Are you disobeying the Queen's order?"
Linghu Shuiyue said resolutely: "The two mothers are serious! How dare I disobey the Queen's order. Please go back and tell the Queen, I will go to the emperor first, and then go to the Queen's to the Jiaofang Palace.”
The two old nuns heard Ming Linghu Shuiyue's intentions and immediately wanted to stop her. They approached Linghu Shuiyue like lightning, one on the left and one on the right, and they wanted to forcibly "invite someone". But, how could Linghu Shuiyue go to the queen's bedroom at such a time? Isn't that self-inflicted? She dodged the two old nuns and walked directly to the emperor's bedroom.
The martial arts of the two old nuns are obviously very high, and their hands and feet are very agile, but they failed to hold Linghu Shuiyue hostage as they wished. When Linghu Shuiyue begged to see the emperor, Eunuch Tian blocked the door, swiped his white chicken feathers, and said in a high-pitched voice, "The emperor is sick, the dragon is not in good health, please go back to the ninth princess."
Linghu Shuiyue said: "I got some rare medicinal materials from the snow-capped mountains. If the emperor's dragon body is in trouble, it might just be useful. Besides, I am proficient in medical science, so I can just show the emperor a pulse. Gong and his party went to the snow mountain to look for snow ginseng, following the emperor's order, and this palace is here to offer medicine to the emperor's order."
Eunuch Tian belongs to the empress, how could it be possible for the ninth concubine to meet the emperor at this moment? This Ninth Concubine has the ability to subdue a tiger and summon a phoenix, let her meet the emperor, what will happen? The Ministry of Criminal Justice and the people of the Imperial Forest Army have brought Master Jiu back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, where the prison is waiting for Master Jiu.
Eunuch Tian thought for a while, and then said: "The imperial doctor has already checked the emperor's pulse, and said that what the emperor needs most is rest. Princess You is anxious about King You's affairs. There is nothing wrong with it, but I can't ignore the emperor's dragon body and force her to see you." .”
Linghu Shuiyue was secretly angry when she heard this, but she had to hold her breath. At this time, anger and any other emotions will not help, she must calm down. The two old mothers were still staring at each other.
Since the emperor was inside, she didn't believe that she couldn't see the emperor, so she lowered her head and thought for a while, she suddenly used her internal energy to send out her voice softly and slowly.
The sound was not loud to the people nearby, but the sound was far and long, and the emperor who was separated by the thick wall could hear it clearly.
"Bengong hastily returned from the snow-capped mountains. When I returned to Yanjing, I heard that the emperor was ill, so I specially came here to present the thousand-year-old dragon pearl grass to the emperor. This dragon pearl grass can cure all kinds of diseases, soothe the nerves and prolong life. It is most suitable for people who have been overworked for a long time."
When Eunuch Tian and the two old mothers in the distance heard this, they were all shocked! Their martial arts are very strong, and they can tell immediately that the girl in front of her speaks with her dantian zhenqi. This dantian zhenqi can send sound from thousands of miles away, it is no different from ordinary voices to people who are close in front of them, but people in the distance can hear it clearly.
However, this requires extremely high internal strength cultivation. In the country of Yan, the number of people who can transmit sound through the dantian can be counted on ten fingers.
