After crossing, I became the most powerful cub in the palace

In Chengqian Hall, Xiao Yuanhe and Xiao Yuanchen sat facing each other in the hall. While roasting in the fire, they were thinking about how to write strategies, and occasionally cast their gazes at Xiao Yuanjing in the small room.

Xiao Yuanhe coughed twice, then turned his head to look at Xiao Yuanchen: "I have never seen many things in that little room, fourth brother."

Xiao Yuanchen raised his head proudly and smiled: "What is this? Four brothers can cook a lot of delicious food in the small kitchen. Tonight, fourth brothers said they want to eat hot pot. Fifth brother, do you want to eat it?"

Xiao Yuanhe nodded, listening to Xiao Yuanchen talking about how delicious the hot pot in Chengqian Palace was, he felt his mouth watering and wanted to taste the hot pot.

What the two of them said was just right, and they saw Cheng Youzhi coming from the courtyard stepping on the snow, followed by a few young eunuchs, with serious expressions, walking with their heads held high.

Xiao Yuanhe and Xiao Yuanchen immediately stood up, watching Cheng Youzhi come in and saluted them, and then asked Mingshu to invite the Fourth Highness to come out.

Xiao Yuanjing, who was still studying the phone in the small room, watched Ming Shu walk in, put down the cardboard in his hand, looked at Ming Shu's nervous eyes, and raised his lips slightly: "What's wrong?"

Ming Shu: "Eunuch Cheng is here, please go to the Hall of Wende, Your Highness."

Xiao Yuanjing looked back at the cardboard in his hand, the smile on his lips became more and more obvious, he got up and tidied his clothes and hair, then he left the small room and went to the front hall, and saw Cheng Youzhi salute him from a distance , after Xiao Yuanjing slightly nodded his head in return, he said:

"Eunuch Cheng has worked hard."

Cheng Youzhi lowered his head and said: "Your Highness has worked hard. Today is the king's son of Zhenbei who entered the palace to revive the decree. His Majesty will personally interrogate Duke Qing. However, His Highness is involved in the case, so His Majesty sent his servants to invite Fourth Highness to come down." Ask Wende Palace."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanhe immediately stepped forward nervously: "Fourth brother, let me go with you."

Xiao Yuanjing glanced sideways at this nervous younger brother, then nodded and smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then glanced at Xiao Yuanchen and said: "Sixth brother knows how to make hot pot. Today, there are guests in the palace. Treat my brother first, and wait for my brother to come back for dinner later."

Xiao Yuanchen smiled at Xiao Yuanjing, and hurriedly said, "Hey! Got it."

Xiao Yuanjing patted Xiao Yuanhe's shoulder again, and then followed Cheng Youzhi to the Wende Hall where the emperor handled government affairs, except Chengqian Hall.

Due to the continuous heavy snowfall on the house, the pile of snow under the palace wall was almost half a person high, and only Cheng Youzhi, Xiao Yuanjing and a few other eunuchs could be seen on the slippery palace road.

Xiao Yuanjing was wrapped in a pomegranate red cloak, and the phoenix bird embroidered with gold thread on the cloak looked lifelike under Xiao Yuanjing's walking, and he held a hot stove in his hand under the cloak.

Even though the shuddering weather made it difficult for Xiao Yuanjing to breathe, his expression was firm as usual, and his steps were steady, just like a soldier heading to the battlefield.

Outside the Hall of Wende, Jiang Yan, the commander of the forbidden army, led a group of forbidden troops to guard outside the hall of Wende. Xiao Yuanjing and Jiang Yan looked at each other, and immediately followed Cheng Youzhi into the hall of Wende.

At this moment, in addition to the emperor, there are also Wei Changgong and Li Changting who are inspectors of the case in the palace, who have already supervised the censor Li Changbai, while Qing Guogong and Xun Ruobai are standing on the other side with serious expressions. The person who reported the case was Jiang Mian, Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture.

When Cheng Youzhi brought Xiao Yuanjing into the palace, Jiang Mian just stopped to report the case and saluted Xiao Yuanjing together with others.

Xiao Yuanjing, on the other hand, was upright, bowing respectfully to the emperor and said: "My son respectfully invites my father to be safe, and my emperor is long live long live long live long live."

After the emperor raised his hand to signal his excuse, he looked at the people standing in the hall, and finally locked his eyes on Xiao Yuanjing, thought for a while, and said after a long time: "Jing'er, I heard that you are in the capital. a pavement, but really?"

Xiao Yuanjing glanced at Xun Ruobai who was on the side, and then replied: "Report to Father, yes, after the new year, I will be eighteen, and I will leave the palace. I saw a shop that day and wanted someone to take it over. So I asked my cousin Ruobai to make a plate for my son, so that he can use it to open a hot pot restaurant in the future."

Li Changting, who was standing next to Wei Changgong, looked at Xiao Yuanjing standing in the hall with such an upright aura, answered the emperor's words neither humble nor overbearing, couldn't help feeling a little admirable, and couldn't help saying in a low voice:

"Boss, these four highnesses are really good, they are not surprised at all, they are amazing."

Wei Changgong ignored him, just nodded his head slightly, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, but disappeared without a trace in an instant.

As soon as Xiao Yuanjing finished speaking, Li Changbai, the censor over there, said:

"It's still a long time before the Chinese New Year. His Highness is so anxious to plan for the future, don't you have ulterior motives?"

Xiao Yuanjing glanced sideways at Li Changbai, and suddenly remembered that when he was staying at Duke Qing's mansion, it was because of himself that the original marriage between Xun Ruoqian and his eldest son fell through.

And Xiao Yuanjing also heard that Li Changbai's eldest son died of illness just ten days ago, and it was precisely because of this that Li Changbai's temples had a few strands of silver, making him a little older.

Xiao Yuanjing nodded and smiled: "Li Yushi's implication is that he thinks I have some plans?"

Li Changbai said with a sneer: "Your Majesty's eloquence is also heard by Lianhua Chen, but after all, His Majesty dotes on His Majesty, and even made His Majesty a ministerial decree before he was crowned king, but His Highness colluded with Duke Qing to plot against His Majesty step by step." , really failed His Majesty's love."

Xiao Yuanjing looked straight at Li Changbai, turned around and heard the emperor say:

"Jing'er, here is the letter you wrote to Duke Qing, and every detail in the book is a plot against me over the past few days, starting from the polo injury, the birthday gift, and even the recent The matter of Feng Shangshuling was written in the letter, I don't believe you would do this, so I specially asked Jing Er to come and distinguish two sentences, so as to save someone from saying that I am biased."

The emperor's tone was cold, but the displeasure in that tone was real. Xiao Yuanjing bowed to the emperor and said:

"Father, I dare to ask, where did these letters come from?"

Jiang Mian hurriedly saluted and replied: "Naturally, I and Wei Shizi checked the case of Duke Qing's forced death of orphans and widows on the farm."

Xiao Yuanjing: "Since it was the case of orphans and widows who were forced to death in Tianzhuang, how did you find these letters between me and Qing Guogong?"

Jiang Mian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Because these letters were put in the folder of the account book by Duke Qing, or Wei Shizi was smart, so he knew there was something wrong with the cover of the account book as soon as he handled it."

Chief Wei, who had never opened his mouth at first, hurriedly saluted and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, what Jiang Fu Yin said is true. When I and Jiang Fu Yin went to the Duke Qing's mansion to check the accounts, because the matter of the farm outside the city was handled by the madam. , therefore, it was Madam who gave the account book to the minister."

Wei Changgong's voice was already clear, but at this moment he answered the emperor's words calmly and respectfully, making Xiao Yuanjing's heart move even more.

When the emperor heard this, he frowned slightly: "Why are you talking about Madam again?"

Duke Qing quickly knelt down on the ground and argued: "Your Majesty knows that I have always been loyal to Your Majesty and never slack off. This time it is even more out of thin air to say that I forced the tenants on the farm to death. As for the account book, I I don’t even know anything about it, I have never had any correspondence with His Highness the Fourth Highness, and I will not hide it in the cover of the account book, please let your majesty learn from it.”

Li Changbai said: "The Prince of Wei and the Governor of Jiang's House are both people who have been verified. Could it be that the Prince of Wei and the Governor of Jiang's House will frame Qing Guogong? The account book is in your house, and it was passed by the madam's hand, forcing him to death." Orphans and widowed mothers have all the witnesses and material evidence, Duke Qing should have confessed his guilt earlier."

Xun Ruobai also quickly knelt down beside Duke Qing, and after saluting the emperor, he said, "Your Majesty, my mother has always taken care of the affairs of the farm outside the city, and my father never asked about it, let alone my father forcing the farm to death." Orphans and widows are even more nonsense, and the account book is in the hands of the mother, as for the letter between this and the Fourth Highness, it is even more fake, please let your majesty learn from it."

All of a sudden, the voices of their own defenses in the Hall of Wende came and went, and the most beneficial one was nothing more than Li Changbai's next words:

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry to leave it publicly for the Qing Dynasty. Everyone in the capital knows that Duke Qing and his wife are loving and harmonious. There is a good story between the two of them. When the wife was in her boudoir, she was not Duke Qing. Not to marry, even if she is a concubine, she is willing to do so. This true love is earth-shattering. Naturally, Duke Qing never let her down. Just two months after the death of her original partner, she straightened the concubine. She has been in love with her ever since. Feelings, I really don't believe that the husband and wife will have different dreams in the same bed, and Madam will harm Duke Qing."

The emperor's face became more and more solemn, and all the evidence in front of him pointed to Duke Qing, especially the account book that could not be verified, it was like a sharp knife hanging on Duke Qing's neck.

Besides, there is also a letter written by Xiao Yuanjing to Duke Qing.

The emperor was very reluctant to believe it, but Li Changbai's words put him in a dilemma.

He had also witnessed the relationship between Duke Qing and Mrs. Yan, so he definitely would not believe that Mrs. Yan would harm Duke Qing.

But if this is the case, how should we explain Xiao Yuanjing's letter to Qing Guogong?

The emperor trusted Xiao Yuanjing, but now that the evidence was in front of him, although he didn't believe it, he couldn't find any reason to excuse Xiao Yuanjing.

Xiao Yuanjing secretly cast his gaze towards Wei Changgong, and Wei Changgong immediately understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Your Majesty, after receiving the imperial decree, I will inspect the Qing Kingdom together with Lord Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion. In the case of the forced death of a farm tenant, this morning, Chang Ting was supposed to pick up the witness to enter the palace, but unexpectedly the witness has gone to the building and is not in the farm outside the city."

The emperor frowned slightly: "There is such a thing?"

Wei Changgong nodded: "I originally wanted to report it early in the morning, but unexpectedly the case involved the Fourth Highness, so I never explained it."

Li Changbai hurriedly said: "The witness's testimony here already explains everything. Besides, even if the witness enters the palace to testify, what can be changed? Can it be revealed that Duke Qing and his wife seem to be in harmony with each other, and that the talk of love is just for others to see?" Is it not working?"

Duke Qing, who had been kneeling in the palace all this time, didn't say a word, and he no longer defended himself, but just thought about Yan's various performances in the mansion during the short period of time.

He didn't believe that Yan Shi would harm him, and he didn't understand why Yan Shi wanted to harm him.

Xiao Yuanjing looked up at the emperor, then looked back at Li Changbai and said:

"Father, my son suddenly remembered something. Because the eldest son of Li Yushi's family was sick, he talked to his son everywhere in the capital, and finally discussed with his aunt to promise his cousin Ruoqian to Li Yushi. Shi's eldest son, but he didn't tell his uncle that it was a happy message. When the Zhenbei Palace was being renovated, the son-in-law stayed at his uncle's house and found out about it by chance, so he helped his uncle to share his worries. The uncle loves his daughter very much, so he knew it was a happy message. So I divorced Li Yushi, I don't know if it's because of this, Li Yushi has always hated my uncle."

When the emperor heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Duke Qing, is there such a thing?"

Duke Qing: "Return to Your Majesty, there is indeed a matter."

When Li Changbai heard what Xiao Yuanjing said, his originally calm and stern appearance suddenly turned to anger: "Your Highness, how can you be so full of nonsense?"

Xiao Yuanjing smiled slightly: "Am I talking nonsense? The person who hurt me is full of nonsense, so it's okay to tell the truth when I come here?"

Xun Ruobai quickly answered, "Your Majesty, Qian'er is the sister of Ruobai's mother. When I learned that my sister was going to marry into the Li family, I told my father that my father loves Qian'er. , so he broke off the engagement with Li Yushi. Unexpectedly, the son of Pei Guogong, Yan Youyu, took the opportunity to belittle Qian'er, forcing his father to marry Li Yushi again to save face, and even asked Pei Guogong to be Qian'er. Asking for an explanation, the mother was dissatisfied with the father who scolded the eldest son Yan and severed ties with him, so she has been at odds with the father. The grandmother and the whole family can also testify about this matter. Please also ask your majesty to investigate clearly. My father doesn't even know about the letters of His Highness Four in the account book, so please His Majesty look into it."

After the emperor heard about it, he immediately stopped Li Changbai, who was about to speak up, and looked directly at the evidence in front of him again, with a more serious expression on his face.

Although Li Changbai was stopped by the emperor, but seeing what happened now, if he didn't defend himself, he might have no chance, so he also bit the bullet and said:

"Qizou Your Majesty, Xun Shizi said that the letter written by His Royal Highness is fake, and he was probably deceived by Duke Qing and His Highness the Fourth Highness. I still have witnesses, but it is Lidong from the Fourth Highness's palace. He has been by His side all the time. Waiter, his words are definitely not false. Your majesty may wish to tell Lidong to come and ask to know the authenticity of the letter. Once the letter is true, then the account book in front of your majesty is known to Duke Qing, so you can't shirk it on your wife. .”

As soon as Lidong was mentioned, the emperor frowned, and his eyes were full of displeasure.

Thinking about the news of Xiao Yuanjing's fetish in Chengqian Palace before, the emperor asked Xiao Yuanjing to rectify the palace affairs, but now there is another traitor, the emperor can't help but feel that Xiao Yuanjing's behavior is too sloppy and a little annoyed.

The emperor glanced at Xiao Yuanjing who was standing in the hall, and hurriedly said: "Come here, but inherit the Qian Palace and pass on Lidong."
