General, he's cheating again

Chapter 45

Behind the gate of the vermilion lacquer palace, the eunuch who had been silently guarding here was so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting, but when he heard the movement outside the gate, he couldn't help being startled.

He quietly walked to the door and squinted his eyes to look out through the crack of the door, but he didn't know that there was a man missing and a man outside the door.It was carefully identified that the person was Zhang Tingyu, the new envoy of Yantie, and the little eunuch heard that the two men said that the evidence of Gu Zhen's injustice had been found, so he hurried back to the Chuigong Palace to deliver a message to Li Chengfu.

Seeing Huai Ji's words in the Chui Gong Hall, Song Xun felt that he acted too impulsively when he thought about it carefully.

But once a word is said, it is hard to follow and he is the emperor, since the decree has been made, how can he take it back easily, and now his mood can't help but become more entangled and irritable.

Just as Song Xun was watching Huai Ji who was kneeling on the ground helpless, Li Chengfu outside the door suddenly pushed the door in and said softly to Song Xun with his graying eyebrows and temples: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang Tingyu, the envoy of salt and iron outside the palace gate, is also here." Yes. He said he had evidence to prove Mr. Gu was innocent."

Slightly surprised by Zhang Tingyu's rash appearance, Song Xun couldn't help feeling strange, "Hiss, are these two night owls? Why are they all running into the palace in the middle of the night?"

But since Zhang Tingyu came here with evidence this time, he finally found a way for Song Xun to take back his life.

Sighing lightly, Song Xun glanced at Li Chengfu and asked casually, "Is that man still kneeling outside the palace gate?"

"If you go back to the emperor, Mr. Qin will still be kneeling."

Li Chengfu immediately understood who Song Xun was talking about, and he replied in a soft voice: "My servant calculated it so carefully, ouch, this Lord Qin seems to have been kneeling for three hours. During these three hours, he didn't move at all." , and now he is yelling at the palace gate with Master Zhang, the slave is really worried about Master Qin's health."

"Hmph, he's quite stubborn."

Song Xun showed helplessness, after thinking for a while, he finally softened his heart and sighed: "Forget it, you go and let them in."

Bowing and clasping his hands, Li Chengfu hurriedly retreated outside the hall to announce the audience of Qin Qingrong and Zhang Tingyu.

Carrying a bunch of keys bound together by a large iron ring, the little eunuch walked briskly along with the crisp sound of the keys colliding in his hands.

Unlocking the door of the vermilion lacquered palace, he poked his head out and exposed half of his body to look at the two people kneeling on the ground not far away, then walked out of the door and stood on one side, bowed his head and said softly: "My lords, the emperor has It is ordered that you enter the palace."

"Sure enough, I'm not wrong, the emperor loves you very much."

Looking sideways at Qin Qingrong, Zhang Tingyu chuckled with deep meaning and then stood up from the ground with his hands up.

After getting up, he stretched out a hand to Qin Qingrong again to pull Qin Qingrong up. In his heart, he estimated that Qin Qingrong had been kneeling for nearly three hours, and he might not be able to stand up easily by himself.

Still ignoring Zhang Tingyu's hand stretched out towards him, Qin Qingrong endured the severe pain in his knee, gritted his teeth and supported his hand and slowly stood up from the ground, thinking to himself what kind of rival's hand, he would never touch it no matter how painful it was.

Seeing this, Zhang Tingyu only snorted coldly, and sure enough, this Qin Qingrong made him feel more and more unhappy.

When the two entered the Chuigong Hall, they looked up at Song Xun with a gloomy expression and wanted to kneel down again, but Song Xun stopped him impatiently.

Song Xun said coldly: "Didn't you say there is evidence? Present the evidence to me."

Hearing this, Qin Qingrong handed the porcelain bottle just now to Li Chengfu.

Zhang Tingyu, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with him, then cupped his hands and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, the medicine powder in the porcelain bottle was found by the minister in a corner of the palace where the incident happened today.

Weichen has already asked various pharmacies in the city about the origin of this medicinal powder, and the doctors in the city basically agreed, saying that this medicinal powder is rare in Song Dynasty and should be a foreign medicine.

This drug can cause hallucinations at first, but if the poisoning is too deep, it will cause weakness in hands and feet and unconsciousness, which are similar to Mr. Gu's current symptoms.

If the emperor does not believe what the minister said, he can send the imperial physician to verify it. "

"Li Chengfu."

Song Xun carefully looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand for a while, then handed it to Li Chengfu and said, "Bring this medicine, Imperial Physician Xuan goes to the prison to check whether Gu Zhen has the poison."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tingyu would search the palace to find the drug, Huai Ji was worried that Song Xun would suspect her, so she quickly echoed Zhang Tingyu and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that Huai Ji also had hallucinations in that hall today.

Huai Ji remembered that she was clearly in the palace at that time, but for some reason intermittently thought that she had strayed into a dense green willow.

Now that I think about it, I realize that someone is probably trying to harm Huai Ji and Master Gu. "

"Huai Ji, don't worry, if Gu Zhen is really wronged, then I will thoroughly investigate the murderer behind all of this."

Turning the topic around, Song Xun took a sneak peek at Qin Qingrong, then turned his gaze back to Huaiji and continued: "But that Gu Zhen is really too flirtatious, even if he is poisoned, he should abide by his duty and not be cruel to you." present.

Huai Ji, do you think what I said makes sense? "

This remark was in line with Huai Ji's intentions. If Gu Zhen was acquitted and released like this, then wouldn't it be another useless effort by him and Lin Wenshan.

Putting her heart down, Huai Ji pretended to be grateful and replied: "Your Majesty's words are certainly reasonable. I never thought that His Majesty would value Huai Ji so much. Huai Ji was honored with the favor, and I am grateful to Your Majesty in my heart.

Your Majesty, according to Huai Ji's opinion, if not, General Gu will be confined in the mansion, and he will be fined for one year's salary as a warning to others. "

Song Xun nodded in satisfaction, then he looked at Qin Qingrong and asked deliberately: "Qin Qing, what do you think?"

To be honest, Qin Qingrong didn't believe that Gu Zhen would think about Huai Ji at all, thinking in his heart that this matter might be caused by Lin Wenshan again, remembering that Gu Zhen said in the daytime that he would suffer a bit this time, he sighed in his heart Then he just cupped his hands and said indifferently: "His Royal Highness Huai Ji is thoughtful, and I have no objection."

Only when Qin Qingrong should have seen through some of Gu Zhen's nature this time and slowly reined in, Song Xun's expression became clearer.

After a while, Li Chengfu took the imperial physician back to the Chui Gong Hall to return to his command.Everyone heard the imperial physician say that Gu Zhen was indeed poisoned by the drug, and that after two days of coma, the drug in his body would dissipate on its own and wake up again.

Now that the truth has surfaced and a relatively satisfactory result has been obtained, Song Xun announced to retreat from everyone.

After exiting the Chuigong Palace, Qin Qingrong followed Li Chengfu to the prison to pick up Gu Zhen from prison, while Zhang Tingyu just stood aside and watched the two who were about to leave without leaving.

To be able to save Gu Zhen this time, to be honest, Zhang Tingyu put in a lot of effort.Qin Qingrong turned sideways and looked at Zhang Tingyu, hesitant to speak, and said: "You also put in a lot of effort for Gu Zhen, don't you want to pick him up from prison?"

"Hmph, I'm not in a hurry for this moment."

Zhang Tingyu's black eyebrows and starry eyes are full of pride, "What belongs to me will be mine sooner or later. So, I advise you not to be careless in the future."

Qin Qingrong gave a light "um" and left with Li Chengfu. Anyway, he gave this stinky love rival a chance to show his merits, and there is nothing the stinky love rival can do if he doesn't cherish him.

The heavy iron door was opened by the prison envoy, and Leng Ji carried Gu Zhen on his back to say goodbye to Qin Qingrong at the gate of the prison. Before leaving, he glanced at Qin Qingrong's knee.

When he returned to the mansion, he laid Gu Zhen on the soft couch in his bedroom.

Hearing the news of the master's return, the servants of the mansion came in and out to clean up Gu Zhen who was still in a coma, while Leng Ji searched around the mansion without seeing Ah Ren.

It's just that he searched around but couldn't find where Ah Ren was, so he couldn't help frowning in worry.Finally, he went back to his bedroom and turned on the light, and found that Ah Ren was hiding himself in the quilt on his bed.

Raising his hand to lift the quilt, Leng Ji lowered his eyebrows and looked at the small group of people who were curled up wonderingly: "Ah Ren, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine, don't come to comfort me anymore!

...not right, huh? "

Ah Ren realized that the person speaking was Leng Ji and immediately turned over to reveal his tearful face.

He looked up at his master weeping, then sat up excitedly, rubbed his face against Leng Ji and cried loudly: "Master, you are back!

Everyone in the mansion said that you and the general will be beheaded by the emperor tomorrow, Ah Ren thought he would never see his master again!

Because Ah Ren missed Master so much, he hid on Master's bed, hugged Master's pillow and cried for a long time. "

Hearing this, Leng Ji felt helpless when he noticed that the mattress on his couch covered with tears and snot was slightly pursed by Ah Ren, he stroked Ah Ren's head and comforted him: "Okay, Ah Ren, don't cry.

Cough, it's late at night, you go to bed first. "

Ah Ren wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and sobbed, "Huh? Master, aren't you going to sleep?"

Can't help but glanced at his own quilt again, Leng Ji slightly stagnated, with a rare embarrassment in his eyes and lied, "No, there's still something to do."

After Leng Ji finished speaking, Ah Ren disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At that time in the Qin Mansion, Qin Qingrong returned to the bedroom and rolled up his trousers, only to see that his knees were already covered with bruises.

After applying the medicine, he asked the housekeeper to send someone to ask Qin Xiaoxiao if his knee was injured, and he fell asleep peacefully after learning that his sister was fine.

After Qin Qingrong fell asleep here, the maid in Qin Xiaoxiao's room dared to ask the housekeeper for medicine.Then she fetched another pot of boiling water, soaked the herbal medicine in a wooden barrel, and finally brought it into Qin Xiaoxiao's bedroom to soak Qin Xiaoxiao's legs to reduce swelling.

She looked at her young lady's legs swollen into two carrots, and she wanted to cry but felt a little funny, and she secretly sighed in her heart that her young lady's difficulty was not easy, and her eyes gradually turned red.

The servant girl was afraid that Qin Xiaoxiao would see herself crying, and then she would bring up a topic to distract her attention and said, "Miss, it's okay for you to kneel for so long, why are you acting stupid along with me.

You belong to the daughter's family. If you have scars on your legs, you will not be able to marry in the future. "

"I'm far from getting married."

Qin Xiaoxiao rubbed his sleepy eyes tiredly and said confidently: "My brother said, as long as I don't want to marry, I won't be betrothed.

I don't want to get married all my life, hee hee, I want to stay at home for the rest of my life. "
