Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 228 For Progress

   Queen Qiao was shocked when she heard it, thinking that her in-laws would really dare to say...

   It's really nice to say!

   Every word is like a sharp sword, stabbing people's heart and lungs. Emperor Yongjia's expression has become more and more stiff, this is completely the sore spot.

   The gloomy breath in Li Jing's heart also relieved his chest.

He knelt by his father-in-law's side and said in his father-in-law's voice, "Father-in-law is right. My son was too impulsive before, so he opened his mouth to beg the father-in-law to investigate the matter thoroughly, and to give justice to Xiaoyu, which embarrassed the father-in-law. What should I do?"

   "My son takes back what I just said. Father, don't pursue it to the end. Find someone at will and take this matter down. It's enough to block the mouths of the people in the world."

  Emperor Yongjia: "..."

  Emperor Yongjia was run by Weng and his son-in-law, and his lungs hurt.

  As the emperor, you still need a face.

  Emperor Yongjia exhaled heavily, stretched out his hand to support Lu Lin, and said solemnly, "I will investigate this matter to the end, give the Lu family an explanation, and give the Lu family justice."

   "I want everyone to know that I won't allow anyone to resort to such insidious means. Whoever dares to reach out, I will chop off his hand!"

   The words of the emperor are like nine tripods!

Lu Lin was so moved that the tiger's eyes turned red, and he choked up and said: "The emperor doesn't have to do this. Xiaoyu married into the heavenly family as a daughter-in-law, and the emperor treated her favorably and protected her everywhere. The ministers understand and are grateful. For her safety, this Such a big fight, hurting the face of the Tian family, how can I bear it in my heart."

   The more humble Lu Lin is, the more determined Emperor Yongjia is: "Don't say anything. My will has been decided!"

  Two drops of man's tears rolled out of Lu Lin's eyes: "The emperor treats the minister like this, and the minister can't repay it. In this life, I would like to be the emperor's pawn, conquer Yanchu, and help the emperor to unify the Central Plains!"

  Emperor Yongjia stretched his brows and patted Lu Lin on the shoulder: "I understand your loyalty. Wei can't be separated from loyal ministers and good generals, and I can't be separated from you. Don't worry, no one can bully the Lu family with me!"

   As for Li Jing, who was kneeling on the ground, he did not receive such treatment. He knelt silently for a while and got up by himself.

  Lu Lin knew the way of relaxation, and when his intention was fulfilled, he handed in his hand and resigned: "I will retire first, and go back to the manor to accompany Xiaoyu. No matter how good she is, she has never experienced such a dangerous thing. At this time, she is still in shock."

  Emperor Yongjia felt even more ashamed, opened his mouth and said, "Ajing, don't send your father-in-law back to the mansion!"

   just rolled back earlier, lest he get upset.

   Li Jing's face has been cultivated long ago, but Quan Dang did not hear the dissatisfaction in Emperor Yongjia's tone, so he bowed his hands, opened his mouth to say goodbye to Queen Qiao, and left with his father-in-law.

   Queen Qiao glanced at Emperor Yongjia's expression and did not want to stay any longer, so she saluted and retired.

   After everyone left, Emperor Yongjia stood alone for a moment, his expression gloomy and uncertain, and complex light flashed in his eyes. Not knowing what to think, he suddenly stretched his legs and kicked the imperial case over.

   A loud bang!

   The guards in front of the imperial guard and the servants at the side bowed their heads.

   "Eunuch Liu," Emperor Yongjia gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Send my order, and the Minister of Public Prosecution and Punishment will enter the palace immediately."

   Eunuch Liu bowed his head.

  In and out of the palace, the waves have been surging, the battles of the princes are all in the dark, and the rivalry of the concubines and concubines is not too obvious.

  The assassination of Lu Mingyu was like a boulder smashing into the lake, and the undercurrent surging under the lake was finally revealed.

  …

  In Yihua Palace.

   Concubine Su was in a particularly good mood today, and ate a bowl more than usual for lunch. I slept beautifully all afternoon, but I don't know what I dreamed, but I laughed out loud in the dream.

   In the evening, Concubine Su ordered the palace servants to bring a qin, and let the palace servants who were good at qin play a few tunes, and danced a few pieces in the Yihua Palace.

   Concubine Su was a dancer and often danced for Emperor Yongjia in private. But it is very taboo for others to mention it. Only when I'm in a good mood will I jump to a few songs like this.

The sound of the piano was like a small stream, and Concubine Su, who was in her thirties, was still soft and moving. While humming a little tune, she danced gracefully. heartbeat.

   Don't look at Concubine Su who doesn't look like a mountain or a dew, and usually keeps her head down as a human being. In fact, no one in the harem is as good as Concubine Su, just by serving men.

  Emperor Yongjia's favorite is, of course, Concubine Meng. In addition to Meng Guifei, the number of visits to Yihua Palace is counted.

   After all, Emperor Yongjia was a man no matter how wise and martial. It's a man, there's no one who doesn't like beauty. The concubines who are serving the pillow seats, it doesn't matter if Cong is smart or not.

   Concubine Su danced a few songs, sweating slightly all over her body and feeling happy. Just as it was about dinner, Li Hao came.

  Li Hao's face was not very good-looking, and there was a faint scrutiny in the eyes of Su Fei.

   Concubine Su smiled and yelled at her son: "What do you think of me like this. Could it be that I have an extra hand for my mother!"

   "Lu Mingyu went to Qiao's house today to say congratulations, and met a group of assassins on the way." Li Hao stared at Concubine Su and said slowly, "Thanks to her skill, otherwise, she would be killed by the assassins today."

   "Is it because of this that the concubine is in such a good mood today?"

   Concubine Su: "..."

   Concubine Su wanted to straighten her chest and say "yes, what's wrong". When he saw Li Hao's tense handsome face, he swallowed the words that came to his lips: "I've been in the harem all day, how do I know what's going on outside. Mrs. Lu really encountered an assassin? Is she all right!"

  Li Hao was silent, his eyes fell on Su Fei's slightly pretentious face.

   No one knows better than him the temper of his own mother.

   Concubine Su hides a huge secret and refuses to tell him. Lu Mingyu is the same. For some reason, the two of them are like life and death enemies.

   When Lu Mingyu was assassinated, Concubine Su couldn't help but rejoice in misfortune. What he is thinking about now is, does this matter have anything to do with Su Fei?

   "You don't think it was my secret hand!" Su Fei asked her son in amazement and amusing: "Look at me, do you look like someone with such abilities?"

no.

   Concubine Su is a vine that clings to Emperor Yongjia to survive. There is a way to quietly buy a few palace maids in the palace, and there is absolutely no ability to raise assassins outside the palace.

  Other concubines have powerful parents. The Su family was a poor family, and they were able to survive after selling their daughter. After Concubine Su became the concubine of the Li family, she had contact with her parents again. Later, Emperor Yongjia sat on the dragon chair and rewarded the Su family some fields. His grandfather and uncle were both landowners with little knowledge.

   Concubine Su just wanted to kill Lu Mingyu, but she couldn't use such ruthless means.

   Then, who is the one who did it?

  Li Hao's eyes flashed, and a series of thoughts flashed in his heart.

   Concubine Su restrained her smile and whispered: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't think about it here. Even if Lu Mingyu is dead, it will not be your turn to shed tears."
