Xiao Zimu knew in his heart that Xia Chu was now in Dali Temple, and Kong Changhui would definitely not treat him badly. But Xiao Zimu always wakes up from nightmares covered in blood when he dreams at midnight.
He really couldn't bear it...
"Mu'er, it's not because the mother-in-law is so cruel that she can influence the whole body with one move. At this time, standing aside and doing nothing is the best choice for you and him." After Concubine Lian finished speaking, she saw that he still had a look of unwillingness on his face. , said angrily: "If you want to kneel down, then kneel down, my mother-in-law will not open her mouth to find your grandfather to help."
Concubine Lian waved her sleeves and left. You Rui looked at his depressed and lonely figure and couldn't help but stepped forward and whispered in his ear to comfort him: "Since His Highness King Mo asked me to summon you, I think there must have been countermeasures for this matter. Your Highness, please don’t worry too much.”
After You Rui finished speaking, she hurriedly chased after Concubine Lian, but Xiao Zimu suddenly raised his head, sat down on his knees dejectedly, and murmured to himself: "Could it be that the lucky thing hidden in the murder refers to the second brother? ?"
Xiao Zimu knelt in the hall of Yaohua Palace, looking stunned...
At the same time, a slender figure was kneeling in the Qingxin Palace.
Although she is kneeling, she can still see her graceful and graceful figure.
"How many years have it been since you came to see me?" The emperor sat on the chair and looked at the kneeling woman below with emotion.
"I forgot, but I remember, this is the second time I ask the emperor." Concubine Qi knelt there, her eyes level and her back straight.
The emperor naturally remembered that he had never been to Yongxin Palace since that time, and Concubine Qi had never taken the initiative to find the emperor again.
That time she spoke, it was for the guard named Pang Weiguang.
The emperor insisted on killing Pang Weiguang to vent his anger, but Concubine Qi strongly begged him to spare Pang Weiguang's life.
The emperor finally relaxed, but the two of them became separated because of this.
I am so angry that I have been stunned for all these years...
The emperor knew that she had not forgotten, how could she forget.
When Xiao Mubai returned to the palace, his white robe was stained with blood, and Concubine Qi cried for so many days. It seemed like it was yesterday when he thought about it now, and Concubine Qi's memory was naturally even fresher.
After all, it was an unpleasant past event. Since Concubine Qi didn't want to mention it, he just revealed it.
I just didn't expect that today, she would actually come to plead for Xia Chu.
"I know that boy often went to your place some time ago. I thought he was just on good terms with Mu Hong, but I didn't expect that he could also win your favor." A trace of surprise flashed across the emperor's eyes.
"Since Mu Bai left the capital, my heart has been devoted to Hong Hong. I met Chu'er by chance and felt that I was in love." Concubine Qi's eyes finally moved up slightly to meet the emperor's gaze. : "In him, my concubine's heart longing for her son can be at ease."
"How can he be compared with Mu Bai?" The emperor sneered.
Although he also liked Xia Chu very much before this, it was mostly because of his guilt for Zhao Lansheng, and secondly because he was lively, intelligent, quick-witted, and sweet-tongued. However, there was no comparison with Xiao Mubai who he had trained with his own hands.
"The emperor said we can't compare, so we can't. But I have something to ask for. Can the emperor grant it?" Concubine Qi lowered her eyelids, not wanting to argue with her.
Maybe the emperor never discovered the value of Xia Chu, but she could always see the shadow of Xiao Mubai in Xia Chu.
As time passed, even after looking away at the similarities between him and Xiao Mubai, Concubine Qi found that she still liked this child very much.
Only then did she realize that she didn't like Xia Chu just because he looked like Xiao Mubai.
It was because Xia Chu's own child made her happy. Now that she saw him being punished and wronged in the prison of Dali Temple, she naturally couldn't help but come to intercede on his behalf.
"He is not as delicate as you think, you don't have to worry about him." The emperor held his forehead with a headache.
He left the matter to Kong Changhui to investigate, but he turned a blind eye. If Kong Changhui could prove Xia Chu's innocence, he would have the right to repay General Zhao's promise.
If he can't, then he deserves it. If he can't clean his butt by himself, he can't do it by having him clean it.
What's more, the poisoning incident has not yet come to light, and he has not fully believed in him...
Just when the emperor put his forehead on his head and lowered his head, not wanting to continue listening to Concubine Qi's next plea, a voice sounded in his ears: "I, my concubine, leave."
The emperor raised his head and saw that Concubine Qi had already stood up and bowed, then turned and left, neatly and without any unnecessary words.
On the contrary, the emperor's face was stunned and he was stunned in his chair.
For a moment, I still haven’t come back to my senses…
When Concubine Qi stepped out of the Qingxin Palace, it was when Xiao Yanjun entered the palace to pay his respects to Concubine Li.
In the Jade Palace, Xiao Yanjun walked hurriedly towards the palace. When Lian Yan saw him entering the bedroom, she bowed and went down to prepare a cup of hot tea for him.
After she retreated, Xiao Yanjun untied his cloak and placed it on the chair. Then he walked to Concubine Li and said, "Concubine, have you heard about the rumors spread outside the palace today?"
The fire in Concubine Li's bedroom was burning brightly, and in the cold winter weather of the twelfth lunar month, she only wore a thin cotton coat, showing off her curvy waist.
At this time, she assumed an enchanting posture, lying on her side on the chaise longue. She pointed to the chair next to the fire and motioned for him to sit down. Then she said casually: "You also know it's a rumor. Do you want to listen to it or not?" What's the big deal?"
Xiao Yanjun sat down at the seat she pointed to. He was wearing thick clothes. In addition, he was walking in a hurry and leaning in front of the stove. He was sweating because of the heat. He leaned back slightly. : "The rumors are indeed nothing serious, they are just empty words, but they have taken the first step to respond. Now that the young prince is refusing to admit it, shouldn't we also throw out the evidence?"
Concubine Li frowned slightly, her tone slightly dissatisfied: "Game is a process, and I haven't enjoyed it like this for a long time. Why are you anxious? There will be three trials in two days. When they think they are released without a certificate, the final decision will be made." , wouldn’t it be satisfying to present evidence and completely crush him to death?”
Xiao Yanjun's mouth was dry due to being roasted, and Lian Yan just served him a cup of hot tea. He took it and took a few sips: "My son, I just feel a little anxious and can't wait..."
Li Fei seemed to be in a good mood. Instead of scolding her, she joked: "Why are you so impatient? How can you become such a big deal?"
Xiao Yanjun was surprised to see a smile on her face, and couldn't help but asked tentatively: "I can get the evidence last, but tomorrow I want to visit the young marquis in Dali Temple."
Li Fei knew that he had been suppressed by Xia Chu for too long these days, and she wanted to show off her quick words, so she immediately waved her hand to him and agreed.
Xiao Yanjun's face was filled with joy, and he bowed and left: "If you have more sons and ministers, please mother and concubine to help you."
