The Minister of Punishment hesitated for a long time before he could speak out.
"Your Majesty, I have such a child, but I still have a son in my old age. I am really reluctant to send him to the palace..."
"It's because you've been blessed with a son for a long time." Tang Yuan put down the small bowl and looked at him, "The case that you were asked to investigate in the court today is only the official department. In fact, it is complicated and involves many ministers in the court. I am afraid that there are people who are interested. If I seize your lifeblood and threaten you, why not put it beside me, at least I can protect you."
The Minister of Punishment burst into tears of gratitude.
"It turns out that the emperor is worried about Quanzi! I will return to the palace immediately and send Quanzi to the palace to accompany the eldest princess."
"Okay, feel free to investigate the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs. If anything happens, I will take care of it for you." Tang Yuan handed the handwriting to the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, "When these worms in the country are uprooted, I will promote you to a higher position." !”
"I will live up to the emperor's orders!"
The Minister of Punishment was so excited that he returned home in a hurry.
Ying Bao held the small bowl and listened as Tang Yuan made cakes and injected chicken blood for the Minister of Punishment. The key point was that the Shangshu of the Punishment Department looked like he was loyal and brave for the emperor.
[No wonder being incorruptible was originally trained by the emperor’s ancestor. 】
After Ying Bao had eaten her fill, she felt sleepy. She explained to the emperor's grandfather and went back to the palace to rest.
The whole person was so sleepy that he couldn't tell what time it was.
Tang Ying was awakened by a cold wind that sent chills down her spine. She subconsciously wanted to throw the talisman to kill the ghost, but she heard the sound of being beaten.
"Hey, hey, now that I don't have the dragon spirit to protect my spirit, I can't stand up to your talisman."
Uncle Li Gui was hanging upside down on the bed beam, his long hair falling down, looking like a hanged ghost.
Ying Bao bared her teeth and grabbed the waterfall-like black hair with her small hands, pulling down Uncle Li Gui.
"Do you want to die!"
"It hurts, little ghost, I am your elder!" Uncle Li Gui rescued his hair from Ying Bao's hands, "If you don't wake up, you will miss a good show in Xiande Palace."
"Concubine De? Uncle!" Ying Bao quickly climbed out of bed.
Palace of Virtue.
Song Youtang sat at the main seat, sipping the tea in her hand, with Concubine De and Lin Shiyin kneeling in front of her.
Tang Che arrived late, the tips of his ears were red and bleeding, his eyes were filled with mist, and he was completely absent-minded.
"Is there any lingering fragrance in the fifth prince's body?" Song Youtang was a little confused.
It's okay if I don't mention it. Tang Che's whole body feels like a cooked red shrimp when it comes to mentioning it. Thinking of how he almost hurt himself when he was soaked in ice water, and how San Zhi forcibly carried him out and helped him relieve the lingering fragrance...
He stayed up almost all night, and whenever he closed his eyes, he was reminded of what Sanzhi was doing to him.
Tang Che felt that he was unclean.
Seeing Tang Che go from being absent-minded to becoming even more popular than yesterday, it was clear that he had thought of something.
Song Youtang understood instantly that he might have just eaten meat and was still thinking about it.
"Uncle!"
A girl ran in from outside the hall and hugged Tang Che's calf.
"Brother Sanzhi is worried about you? Huh? Why does my uncle look even worse than yesterday?"
Before he could finish speaking, a big hand covered his mouth and swallowed what he wanted to say.
Tang Che covered Ying Bao's mouth and held Naituanzi in his arms. His eyes were floating around, pretending to be calm, but his bloodshot ears betrayed him.
Lin Shiyin saw this appearance of just eating meat, and felt even more chilled in her heart. The hands on her sides were clutching her sleeves desperately.
But I made a wedding dress for someone else!
Once the incident is over, she will definitely kill the girl who took advantage of her.
Concubine De glanced at Lin Shiyin coolly, and she became more and more confused as to why King Linan insisted on giving Che'er such a stupid woman.
Tang Che coughed lightly and looked at Song Youtang: "I'm fine. Yesterday Concubine De called me to go to the side hall, but I didn't know there was Miss Lin in the hall."
Concubine De was slightly startled when she heard Tang Che calling her that.
Oh, her son doesn’t want to recognize her as his mother-in-law anymore?
"Che'er, you should call me mother concubine."
Tang Che's face instantly turned cold when he met Concubine De's threatening gaze.
"The Concubine De lit the acacia incense in the palace yesterday, leaving me alone with Miss Lin, who I had never met before, and locked the door. Miss Lin even... took the initiative to throw herself into her arms, which is really disgraceful. If it wasn't for Ying, If Bao arrives in time, I’m afraid Miss Lin will become the fifth prince’s concubine now!”
Shock flashed across De Fei's face.
Even if her Che'er was not on good terms with her over the years, she had given birth to him and raised him for so many years.
No matter how much she did, Che'er was always obedient and had never been like an outsider like she is today.
It seemed like she was about to lose something.
Someone must be trying to sow discord between her and Che'er!
Looking at Ying Bao who was still in Tang Che's arms, and remembering what the little bitch said yesterday, the resentment in his eyes became even more difficult to hide.
"Everyone's words are really different!"
Song Youtang put down the teacup in his hand heavily, "I have already asked the truth from the palace maid who secretly hid the albizia incense. Now what the fifth prince and the palace maid said are very different, what else do you two have to say!"
Lin Shiyin trembled and looked at Tang Che with tears streaming down her face: "Ah Che, I am crazy about you, how could you be like this?"
Those eyes made Tang Che feel confused for a moment, and then he came back to his senses.
Thinking of what San Zhi said before leaving this morning.
"In the past few years, Lin Shiyin used rouge to look exactly like Tang Qingzhu, deliberately getting close to her master, and sending all his whereabouts to the Minister of War.
Just because the emperor intends to make his master the prince.
The subordinate also reminded the master before, but the master was confused by that woman...
These notes are evidence. "
His whereabouts were written one after another on the notes, and it was Lin Shiyin's handwriting.
Ying Bao struggled to move Tang Che's big hand away from her mouth, and said in surprise: "It turns out that pressing my uncle under you to take off his clothes is called infatuation!"
Lin Shiyin's pitiful appearance froze, and the expression on her face was a little unstretched.
I really want to strangle this dumb baby to death.
"What a fierce look." Ying Bao's mouth dropped, feeling aggrieved, and his big eyes were misty, "Brother Sanzhi also saw it..."
[Are you the only one who can pretend to be wronged? How dare you stare at me with eyes that look exactly like my mother! Mother would never look at Ying Bao with such vicious eyes! 】
Song Youtang and Tang Che saw Yingbao's big tears rolling down their faces. Although they knew she was faking it, they felt heartbroken for a moment.
Seeing this, Tang Che was too lazy to argue with Lin Shiyin: "Miss Lin, please be careful. Don't think that if you imitate the imperial sister in appearance, I will treat you differently. I only have admiration for the imperial sister. Rong You are not allowed to be so offended!"
Song Youtang glanced at Orange beside him, and Orange immediately brought up the palace maid from yesterday.
The palace maid knelt down and immediately testified against Concubine De, telling the whole incident without missing a single detail.
Concubine De frowned, she did not expect that this palace maid would not even care about the lives of her family.
Now that the matter has come to this, Concubine De can only plead guilty.
"I was confused, thinking that Che'er also belonged to Miss Lin at heart, and was deceived by Miss Lin's words, so I did this. The empress, I knew my mistake, and voluntarily fined Che'er three months of silver and copied 100 copies of Buddhist scriptures. .”
Lin Shiyin's teeth were broken.
She had been in business for so long, and she was only one step away from marrying Tang Che, becoming the prince's concubine, and then secretly helping him become the prince.
Then she will counterattack Linnan Wang's army, and Great Qin will be in her pocket.
She couldn't figure out which step went wrong.
Song Youtang chuckled.
As expected of a virtuous concubine, she can always grasp the pros and cons very accurately.
"Miss Lin's thoughts are really obvious. She was originally the concubine of the Minister of War. Less than a year after the death of the Minister's first wife, your biological mother was promoted to the head wife, and you became the legitimate daughter."
Song Youtang stood up and walked to Lin Shiyin, looking down at her, "I was originally married to a good family, but why did I focus on the royal family? I dared to climb on the prince's bed yesterday, and I'm afraid I will climb on the dragon's bed tomorrow. My good reputation will be ruined by myself. It’s like this.”
Snapped--
A crisp slap fell on Lin Shiyin's face.
Lin Shiyin covered her face in disbelief, looking at Song Youtang with fear in her heart.
She clearly felt that Song Youtang had murderous intentions.
【Wow wow wow! Grandma is mighty! This is the authority of the queen! so hot! Ying Bao also wants to be as handsome as her grandmother! 】
Ying Bao wiped the tears from her face and shouted with admiration in her heart.
"Your Majesty! I know my mistake! I will never dare to do it again, Your Majesty! I hope that because I just like His Highness the Fifth Prince too much, please spare me!"
Lin Shiyin knew in her heart that the Queen's words about climbing on the dragon's bed could kill her, so her forehead was bruised with blood on the ground.
This is the imperial power, the imperial power she must get!
Song Youtang didn't even look at her, walked around her and walked out of the palace, "Send Miss Lin back to the Lin Mansion after twenty scoldings in Xiande Palace, and let Master Lin discipline her properly. She is not allowed to step into the palace gate again in the future." .”
"Thank you, empress..."
The blood on Lin Shiyin's forehead flowed down, mingling with tears and staining her makeup.
Tang Che felt particularly dazzling when he looked at that face.
He grabbed the tea cup on the table and threw it at her, washing away the blood and rouge on her face.
Lin Shiyin exclaimed, her jaw hurting and she was forced to raise her head, a cold and stern voice sounded in her ears.
"In the past few years, you have always met me by chance in various places and followed me to monitor you. It is really hard on you, a noble lady."
Tang Che took out a handkerchief and wiped away the water on her face little by little, revealing her original appearance, "I wear makeup similar to hers every day and imitate her appearance and personality. As soon as I return to Beijing, I will become Such a pitiful look on Chu Chu.”
Lin Shiyin's pupils shrank little by little and she shook her head in panic.
How did he know this?
She obviously hides it so well!
"No... Ah Che, please listen to my explanation. I was forced to do this."
"Seeing me falling down day by day, and even when I came back to Beijing to tell my family that I wanted to marry you, did you think I was easy to deceive?"
Tang Che's hands became harder and harder, and Lin Shiyin felt as if the bones in her jaw were about to break.
"It's just that twenty punishments are too cheap for you."
He let go of his hand and wiped it with the handkerchief given by Orange in disgust, threw it on her body, and led Ying Bao away.
Concubine De watched with cold eyes as Lin Shiyin was carried into the courtyard by Orange and others.
