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

Waiting for Xiao Yuanjing to drag the palace lady ashore, the guards who heard the news also rushed to them one after another. After meeting with Xiao Yuanjing, Xiao Yuanjing asked them to go and see the rescued palace lady.

Ming Shu looked at Xiao Yuanjing with a pale face: "Your Highness, I scared this servant to death, why don't you wait any longer, if you have something to do, this servant's life will be gone."

Xiao Yuanjing looked at Mingshu crying, couldn't help twisting his clothes and hair, then shuddered, and rubbed Mingshu's head: "She is also destined, I am fine, walk back I'm so cold right now."

Ming Shu responded quickly, and hurriedly followed behind Xiao Yuanjing to Chengqian Hall.

In the bedroom of Chengqian Hall, the screen separated the bathtub, and the stripped-off Xiao Yuanjingzhen was soaking in a steaming bath. Mingshu wiped his hair and said:

"Your Highness is too reckless, you should wait for the guards to save you."

Xiao Yuanjing shrugged indifferently: "If you wait for the guards to rescue, then the girl will still be alive."

After taking a steaming bath, and his body seemed to be strong and healthy, he didn't have any bad reactions at the moment, not to mention a cold.

It's just that when he got out of the tub and was about to put on his clothes, he always groped towards his waist as a habit, he paused with his hands, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he looked down at the pendant on his waist.

Ming Shu looked at Xiao Yuanjing suspiciously: "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Xiao Yuanjing's hands were still on his waist, and he thought about it carefully: "My jade pendant is gone, that jade pendant is very important to me."

Mingshu hurriedly searched for the hanger where the clothes were hung just now, and then called the servants outside the hall to look for them in the dirty clothes that had been taken out. Mingshu comforted Xiao Yuanjing and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Maybe this jade pendant has fallen somewhere, the servants will look for it for you, don't worry."

Xiao Yuanjing put his forehead on his forehead and thought about it carefully. At the moment when he felt the jade pendant was lost, he was a little anxious to get angry, but when his hand was on his waist, he seemed to feel that he seemed to have forgotten something very important. Important matter.

It seemed that when he was in the water just now, someone touched his waist.

It's not that he can't touch a man's waist, but that when he was in the water, if the palace maid who fell into the water was too scared and wanted to survive, it was understandable for her to hold Xiao Yuanjing's waist and not let go.

It's just that in Xiao Yuanjing's memory, that kind of tactile sensation is not tugging, but touching, and it didn't take long, just that moment...

Ming Shu looked at Xiao Yuanjing's appearance, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the servant will definitely look for it, don't worry."

Xiao Yuanjing quickly grabbed him, nodded and smiled: "I'm not in a hurry, the jade pendant is indeed very important to me, because that jade pendant cannot be lost, and if it is lost, it will cause serious trouble. You send someone to look for it later. You go to the Imperial Garden to look for it, I don’t know where it fell, why don’t you go and find the maid I rescued later, and ask the girl who was with her to see if they remember anything.”

Ming Shu was stunned for a while, but seeing Xiao Yuanjing's appearance of being able to stabilize his mind in an instant, he also nodded in agreement, and after waiting for the affairs of the Chengqian Palace to finish, he took someone to find the The court lady who fell into the carp pond.

Although spring has begun and the end of the first month has arrived, the weather has never warmed up. As soon as the sun sets, the surroundings feel a little cold.

The Mingshu who brought people to look for the court lady also came back, looking at Xiao Yuanjing who was drinking tea under the big tree in the courtyard, Mingshu suppressed his disappointment, put on a smiling face, stepped forward and saluted:

"Your Highness, the slave is back."

Xiao Yuanjing didn't raise his head, and said with a smile, "How did you find it?"

Ming Shu: "The maids are from the palace of Concubine Yu in the Zhaoyang Palace. When they met at noon, they went to the Sibao Division to get the hairpin rings sent by the imperial concubine to be repaired."

Xiao Yuanjing looked up at him: "What about the jade pendant?"

Ming Shu shook his head: "The two maids said that they have never seen His Highness's jade pendant, so don't worry, Your Highness, tomorrow morning the servants will find a few with good water quality, dive to the bottom, and look for them in the mud, since His Highness cares about it. Naturally, the jade pendant cannot be lost."

Xiao Yuanjing looked at the appearance of Mingshu, smiled, and put the book on the small table at hand: "Don't worry, this object is also spiritual, and I will definitely not be able to find it if I am looking for it. Found it, and came out again."

Mingshu looked at Xiao Yuanjing's relaxed smiling face. Although he was not punished, he still felt uncomfortable. Just when he was about to speak, he heard Xiao Yuanjing say:

"For you, this book is very good-looking, and the story is wonderful. You go out of the palace early tomorrow morning to find Prince Wei, and ask him where he bought the book, and ask him if he can find someone who wrote it. I want to treat him to a meal, let him write a story, and send it out as soon as possible to satisfy his hunger."

When Xiao Yuanjing said this, the book was naturally taken astray:

"These are just some folk tales. If His Highness likes it, why bother Young Prince Wei?"

Xiao Yuanjing nodded and smiled: "You, I don't understand. This book is not a story about a gifted man and a beautiful woman, but a love affair between a general and a scholar. Only Prince Wei has it. I'm almost finished reading this book. Let him read it." Hurry up and find it for me, I am anxious to see how the general and the scholar will meet after the misunderstanding deepens and they go deep into the enemy camp."

Ming Shu looked at Xiao Yuanjing's appearance, thinking that it was good that he was not in a hurry to get angry, so he agreed, and waited for him to leave the palace and go to Zhenbei Palace at dawn tomorrow.

The dawn was slightly dewed, it was still early, but the court meeting in the Xuanzheng Palace ahead was still going on.

Xiao Yuanchang, a vigorous and vigorous prince, was missing from the court, and Qing Guogong, who was dedicated to official affairs, was missing. It was somewhat difficult for the emperor to deal with many things in the new year.

Fortunately, there is an extra King of Pingdu, although Xiao Yuanqi is not as handy as Xiao Yuanchang, but he is not inferior in handling government affairs anyway, and the emperor is very relieved.

Especially the matter that Xiao Yuanqi dealt with a few years ago came to fruition in the new year, and the matter was handled perfectly, the emperor was naturally happy. This joy made him think of staying in the Zhaoyang Palace last night, and after the court, he called Together with Xiao Yuanqi, he went to Zhaoyang Palace to have breakfast with Concubine Yu Gui.

And Xiao Yuanjing in Chengqian Hall also woke up early in the morning, wearing crimson purple clothes tied with a jade-inlaid belt, and Xiao Yuanjing's lower body was extraordinarily slender against the hanging palace sash.

Lidong carefully tied Xiao Yuanjing's hair crown, looking at his appearance in the mirror, Xiao Yuanjing couldn't help asking:

"Ming Shu has left the palace."

Lidong was stunned for a moment: "I took His Highness's badge early in the morning and went to wait in front of the palace gate, His Highness ordered, how dare the servants delay."

Xiao Yuanjing smiled: "Well, of course I know, by the way, I want to eat hot pot at noon today, you tell the small kitchen to prepare it, remember, there must be more meat, maybe Wei Xiaowang will also come to have lunch, call Prepare more in the kitchen, by the way, the beer brewed in the warehouse should be ready to drink today, and I will go to Kaifeng when I come back later."

Lidong was a little unclear, so he asked, "Where is Your Highness going?"

Xiao Yuanjing smiled and didn't speak, and didn't answer, but just after getting up and getting out of the dormitory, he saw Cheng Youzhi walking over with a group of young eunuchs, and saluted Xiao Yuanjing from a distance:

"My servant greets His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness."

Xiao Yuanjing pretended to be puzzled and said: "Eunuch Cheng has come so early, Father Huang wants to treat me to breakfast."

Cheng Youzhi's face was filled with embarrassment: "Your Highness may not be able to eat breakfast, I don't know if His Highness has a book next to him."

Xiao Yuanjing looked around and said hurriedly: "Oh, that child, I was sent out of the palace to look for Prince Wei. A few days ago, Prince Wei gave me two copies of these folk stories. I looked at them very well. After reading it, ask him to return Prince Wei and bring some new ones back, what is Eunuch Cheng looking for for Mingshu?"

Cheng Youzhi looked troubled, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, it is His Majesty who wants to summon Ming Shu. I wonder if His Highness rescued a palace lady by the carp pond in the Royal Garden yesterday afternoon?"

Xiao Yuanjing nodded without thinking: "I saved it, I saved it myself, what's wrong?"

Cheng Youzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked at Xiao Yuanjing, his face was not very good: "The maid died, I heard that the maid had seen the Ming Shu before she died, so His Majesty wanted to send a servant to recruit the Ming Shu. Ask."

Xiao Yuanjing looked directly at Cheng Youzhi in front of him, and said after a while: "Yes, I sent this Mingshu to look for Yupei. I lost the jade pendant, so I asked Mingshu to ask if they have seen it. Since Mingshu Not here, why don't I go to see my father and explain clearly to him face to face."

Hearing what Xiao Yuanjing said, Cheng Youzhi's face shuddered: "Your Highness can't go now."

Xiao Yuanjing frowned slightly: "Why can't I go?"

Cheng Youzhi looked left and right: "Because the jade pendant that His Highness lost was in the hands of the dead maid, and this matter also involved His Highness the Fourth Highness, we originally planned to ask the Ming Shu first before summoning His Highness. "

Xiao Yuanjing said with his hands behind his back: "It's a pity that Ming Shu is not here at the moment. Anyway, I have to see him. Now that I have found my jade pendant, it will be fine. Let Eunuch Cheng lead the way. I will go to see Father Emperor to clarify the matter, and by the way, I will give the jade pendant to you." Take back."

Cheng Youzhi was about to open his mouth to call out, but he thought for a moment, and Xiao Yuanjing walked down the steps with his long legs, passed the courtyard, exited the palace gate, and went straight to Zhaoyang Hall. go.

Cheng Youzhi couldn't help being a little anxious, and hurriedly followed, but as soon as he arrived at the palace, Cheng Youzhi ordered the little eunuch who was following him, Qujiaofangdian, to invite the empress to Zhaoyang Hall, thinking that the queen was there, and Mr. Xiao Yuanjing Will not be punished by the emperor.

At this moment, the Zhaoyang Palace was filled with dark clouds, the emperor sitting in the main hall had angry eyes, Yu Guifei was also standing beside him worriedly, Xiao Yuanqi and the Marquis of Qi were standing together, and in the hall was a kneeling sobbing The maid in the palace.

Seeing Xiao Yuanjing walk in now, the emperor's face softened, and after avoiding Xiao Yuanjing's salute, he said:

"I asked Cheng Youzhi to find the Ming Shu in your palace, why did you come here?"

After Xiao Yuanjing saluted, he smiled brightly and innocently: "Here, I asked Ming Shu to do some things. I heard that Eunuch Cheng said that I found the jade pendant that I lost, so I came here to pick it up."

Seeing Xiao Yuanjing's appearance, the emperor slapped his palm on the table and glared at him: "That means you admit that the jade pendant in the maid's hand is yours!"

Xiao Yuanjing looked at the emperor in a daze, then at the color of the tassels of the jade pendant on the table, and hurriedly said: "I accidentally lost it yesterday, and I looked for it yesterday. How could it be here?"

The emperor said angrily: "It's all a good thing you did yourself! You also asked why Yupei is here! You will leave the palace in a short time. In your own palace, I will turn a blind eye to what you want to do." You pretend you don’t know, but this is in the harem! You are so absurd! How do you let the empress who commands the harem control you! How do you let her manage the harem!”

Xiao Yuanjing still looked blank: "Father, what did my son do?"

The emperor glared angrily at the trembling court lady kneeling on the ground and said, "Say it!"

The palace maid trembled violently, she was crying faintly, looked up at Xiao Yuanjing, and then cried:

"Q... Your Majesty, yesterday afternoon, the slaves and maids Fangcao went to Si Baosi to receive the hairpin rings sent by the imperial concubine to be repaired. When passing through the Imperial Garden, they met the Fourth Highness. The Fourth Highness knew that the slaves belonged to the Zhaoyang Palace. The person spoke frivolously, Fangcao refused, and fell into the water during the tussle. The Fourth Highness...the Fourth Highness also jumped into the water and rescued Fangcao. Fangcao said... that the Fourth Highness was in the water. touched her...

Later, when the guards came, the Fourth Highness was afraid of ruining his reputation, so he claimed that Fangcao fell into the water by himself. Later... Later, when we returned to Zhaoyang Hall, the Fourth Highness sent the Ming Shu next to him to hold his jade pendant in front of him. Come, I want Fangcao to serve in the Palace of Chengqian, and said...and said that he is the prince, protected by His Majesty and the Empress, and it is her good fortune to see her.

But Fangcao...Fangcao already has a husband's family outside the palace, and she can get married just waiting for her to leave the palace, but Mingshu threatened her that if she didn't follow, he would say that she seduced the prince and kick her out of the palace... Go, in order not to cause trouble for the imperial concubine, Fangcao did not want her reputation to be ruined, so... so she swallowed gold and committed suicide, I hope His Majesty can make decisions for Fangcao and give her justice..."

Xiao Yuanjing listened to the maid's cry, and what she heard was also full of grief and indignation. The tyrant bully bullied others, the little maid died angrily in order to protect her name and her master, and there was a good sister who was full of loyalty and sued for her.

Such a complex plot with twists and turns, mixed with threats and resistance, not many characters, but it highlights the character of the characters very well, wonderful, really wonderful, if it hadn't been related to Xiao Yuanjing, he would have almost believed it.

But obviously, everyone here except him was deceived by these words.
