It makes him, the one who granted the marriage, even more shame!
Emperor Zhou was so angry that if there weren't many people watching here, he really wanted to kick people to the ground!
How dare he!
Xiao Chunhe continued to kowtow: "Please, Your Majesty, save my son's life! I will let you do whatever you want. My son's disappearance is inseparable from the Duke's Palace."
The queen looked at Lin Xi: "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
She suffered the other party's loss last time and has been resenting it.
Everyone looked over and Lin Xi nodded calmly.
"I had a conflict with Xiao Xian, and I was worried that he would be unfavorable to me again, so I asked the bodyguard assigned to me by my uncle to follow him for a while, and unexpectedly discovered something terrible."
Xiao Chunhe interrupted her: "I'm asking you what happened to him! I didn't ask you to say this!"
Lin Xi sighed: "Master Xiao, why should you be anxious? Just listen to what I have to say. The guards my uncle gave me are all tough and they found something."
"The second son of the deputy envoy of the General Affairs Department, the eldest daughter of the deputy envoy of the Xuanwei Department, and the young owner of the Four Seasons Tea House in the capital all disappeared after going to the Huichun Hall. This is only a list of the past three months. "
The second son of the deputy envoy of the General Affairs Department made scornful remarks about Su Yangyang.
The eldest daughter of the deputy envoy of the Xuanwei Envoy had a dispute with Su Yangyang because the hibiscus jade ointment was not as effective as expected.
The young owner of Four Seasons Tea House also opened a medical clinic and offered Su Yangyang low prices for medicinal materials.
Xiao Xian saw all this, and they all died.
With so many coincidences, it was impossible for Su Yangyang not to be suspicious at all, but she chose to unconditionally trust her senior brother as a person.
Lin Xi hesitated for a moment and thought that these were not Su Yangyang's subjective wishes, so he did not say anything.
Emperor Zhou looked surprised: "That person did all this? He dared to murder officials' families. How audacious!"
The queen was so frightened that she sat on her chair. Why was the thunder coming one after another?
"Thanks to Mr. Xiao for helping his son conceal it, this matter was not brought to light." After a pause, she said loudly: "I have already found the person who handled it. Your Majesty can order people to check. If you ask people one by one, there will always be someone who spits. ."
Emperor Zhou Lei was furious and turned to look at Xiao Chunhe: "You are brave! Is this possible?"
Xiao Chunhe said stubbornly: "What my son did is another matter, but his disappearance is obviously related to the Duke's Mansion!"
Lin Xi looked calm: "Now that the matter has come to this, why should Mr. Xiao rant? It's obviously the bodyguard I sent to follow, so Xiao Xian was aware of it, and he fled because he was afraid that the matter would be exposed."
Su Yangyang's body was trembling slightly: "Miss Lin, I don't know why you said this about my senior brother, but even if he wants to leave, he won't leave without a word of explanation to me. Isn't this suspicious?"
Lin Xi looked surprised and asked: "What explanation do you want? He is absconding, not traveling."
Su Yangyang: "..."
Emperor Zhou: "It's unreasonable. You are so unscrupulous in the capital. Xiao Chunhe, you are an official of the imperial court, and you are helping to cover it up!"
After a pause, he issued an order: "Come here, take Xiao Chunhe into custody. He is not allowed to leave the Shangshu Mansion until the matter is investigated!"
Xiao Chunhe's face was full of dissatisfaction and anger: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You haven't asked about Xiao Xian's whereabouts yet! Only a power as powerful as the Duke's Palace can make a person disappear quietly!"
Emperor Zhou: "You still have the nerve to ask, you are just claiming to be falsely accusing the Duke of the Kingdom, but here is evidence of your son's evil deeds. I think that beast has run away after hearing the news, and it would not be a pity even if he died outside! I have wasted all these years on him. You value it!”
"Please have mercy, Your Majesty!" Xiao Chunhe still wanted to speak, but was picked up and dragged out by several palace servants, and his voice gradually faded away.
Emperor Zhou turned to look at Lin Xi and asked, "Since you found out these things, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Lin Xi: "Master Xiao is cautious in doing things. I only confirmed it in the past two days."
"Fortunately, your uncle has left you with a lot of tough hands, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Emperor Zhou took a deep breath and his eyes circled between Lin Xi and Shen Chongxiao.
"You are a good boy. I have wronged you today. I heard that you met King Xin before you entered the capital, and we had a good conversation. You two are quite destined."
Now that something like this happened, the government and the public would inevitably be shaken, and he had to find a way to prevent the prince he valued most from being affected.
The marriage between King Xin and the British daughter-in-law could not be better.
What happened today made him see Lin Xi's courage in doing things, and he will definitely be a good wife in the future.
Lin Xi looked at Zhongxiao beside him.
What's going on with this guy? You’re still hiding half of what you’re talking about.
Emperor Zhou looked at Su Yangyang who was kneeling on the ground. Now she was the only outsider.
"Someone, take her out of the palace."
This medical woman once helped the queen take care of her health, and she still has an impression of people.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute, His Highness King Xin has always been in love with the girl who treated her many years ago, that is, Miss Su."
"Unfortunately, she and I have the same jade pendant, and they both come from the Lin family. His Highness King Xin misunderstood that I was the one who saved him in the first place. Now he has said so."
Neither of them have mouths, it doesn't matter, she's covered in mouths!
I'll help you make your relationship public.
Emperor Zhou: "What?"
Lin Xi: "King Xin loves Miss Chongsu. He probably didn't trust her, so he followed me to intercept my car. It can be said that he is very affectionate."
Emperor Zhou looked at Su Yangyang. Since he had already said it, he could let Lin Xi enter Prince Xin's palace as his wife and the medical girl as his concubine.
Although Lin Xi took a concubine as soon as he passed the door, which was a bit bad.
However, this girl is the adopted daughter of the Lin family. They are also considered sisters and will be looked after in the future.
Lin Xi took the initiative to bring it up now, obviously not resisting.
As long as she wanted to, Liang Jing'an wouldn't say anything. It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone a phoenix and a grandson.
This can be regarded as a method that has the best of both worlds.
Before Emperor Zhou could make up his mind, someone from the palace came to report.
Mrs. Cui, the wife of Xiao Chunhe, the Minister of Household Affairs, came to the palace to ask for an audience, wearing the uniform of Mrs. Yipingaoming.
She heard that her husband had an illegitimate child, and she acted as an accomplice to cover up the murder.
As the direct daughter of the Cui family, she absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of thing.
I came here to ask the emperor for permission to reconcile.
Emperor Zhou was a little surprised. Cui Weiran was also a famous beauty in the capital back then. He initially wanted to marry Liang Jing'an.
However, Liang Jing'an was unwilling and said that he would observe mourning for his wife for five years.
This marriage between old and new dignitaries finally fell on Xiao Chunhe.
Emperor Zhou didn't think it was possible to reconcile, and to put it bluntly, the illegitimate son would never come back, so why should he care so much?
This was the marriage he had given him back then, so he naturally hoped that the two of them could live together.
Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, Lin Xi added, "Your Majesty, do you understand why I didn't tell you earlier?"
Emperor Zhou: "You are serious now"
It's really a big deal to say it out loud, it affects the whole body.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xi had a big picture view. Today's incident was entirely due to Xiao Chunhe's aggressiveness, so she couldn't be blamed.
As soon as Emperor Zhou left, the queen snorted: "You talk a lot."
Lin Xi lowered his gaze: "Your Majesty, Holy Ming."
The Queen seemed to have punched cotton with her fist.
Before she could figure out how to teach people, Nanny Zhao, who was waiting outside the palace, saw the emperor leaving, so she went in to deliver the Queen Mother's oral edict.
After Zhao finished her salute, she looked to Lin Xi aside: "The Queen Mother asked Miss Lin to go over and ask questions. Is it convenient for the Queen Mother?"
Queen: "...Since the Queen Mother has summoned me, you can go."
Lin Xi: "My daughter, please retire."
Before she left, Zhongxiao remained silent, and Su Yangyang knelt on the ground with her head lowered.
It's not fun.
The emperor still didn't give up, didn't even look at the resentful couple he had been married to for more than ten years, and still wanted to persecute her?
No, she found a husband by herself.
——
Lin Xi followed Nanny Zhao to the Queen Mother's Renshou Palace.
When the Queen Mother asked what happened just now, she repeated it like she was pouring beans through a bamboo tube.
There is no need to play tricks with the Queen Mother, and few people can play with them.
She focuses on honesty.
The Queen Mother was much calmer than the Queen, and her expression did not change. After a moment of silence, she said, "It's hard for you. If someone slanders you in the future, the Ai family will never tolerate him."
"Empress Shengming."
This one is still easy to talk to.
The Queen Mother has been working hard for so many years, and she has never seen anything like a fly or a dog.
Now the only thing I can't let go of is my grandson Fengye.
Of course she knew that Lin Xi also had intentions, but she didn't care.
What can he dislike about living to this age?
She could at least tell that Lin Xi really liked Feng Ye.
Blood ties may not be reliable. If the moment of danger really comes, choose one of Lin Xi's and Feng Ye's biological fathers to believe.
She will choose the former, there is no conflict of interest
Lin Xi is smart and alert. She knows better than anyone that she is a good queen mother and Feng Ye is good, so she will be better.
What's more, she still relies on the Duke's Mansion.
