Yuan Yin wakes up in the morning and feels that his body is getting more and more wrong. When night falls, he will feel lonely and unbearable, and will always think of Xiao Rong. In this way, it will be a romantic dream overnight, which really makes Yuan Yin a little embarrassed. He also wanted to find a reason to keep Xiao Rong in the palace.

Above the court hall, all the officials knelt down and kowtowed and then stood nodding. Yuan Yin sat upright, looking at Xiao Rong who was standing at the forefront of the civil servants, he could not help but brows with joy, and his heart was filled with honey. .

But Xiao Rong stood with his eyes closed, and did not raise his head to look at Yuan Yin. He just had something to play, so he stood in the hall and saluted:

"Qizou Your Majesty, Zhao He, the wife of Mr. Zhao, the imperial envoy sent by His Majesty to Chongzhou for disaster relief, was killed at home last night. Your Majesty, please look into it."

Hearing that Zhao's wife was killed, Yuan Yin's originally smiling face froze instantly, and asked in disbelief: "Song Aiqing, is there such a thing?"

Song Xian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, stood in the hall and saluted Yuan Yin: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Lord Xiao's words are true, and this matter involves murder. Therefore, the Jingzhaoyin Mansion has submitted it to the Ministry of Punishment for review by the Ministry of Punishment."

When Yuan Yin heard the word "murder", he felt a numbness in his back. At the foot of the emperor in the capital, it was still the mansion of the imperial court official. At this moment, there was a murder incident. If this matter is not handled well, it will not be embarrassing for the imperial court.

Therefore, there must be no tolerance, Yuan Yin looked dignified, and hurriedly said: "The murderer is the wife of an official ordered by the court, and she will definitely not be killed for no reason. From this point of view, Mr. Zhao must be wronged. Dali Temple, Ministry of Punishment, my author You work together to investigate the case, find out what happened to Mr. Zhao He Zhao and the murderer who killed his wife, and deal with it according to the law."

"The minister waits to obey the order." After Yuan Yin ordered to go down, the Qing of Dali Temple and Song Xian all kowtowed to the ground.

In this way, Zhao He's grievances were investigated in the open, and Yuan Yin actually wanted to see if the murderer was from the prefect of Chongzhou.

In the imperial garden, Xiao Rong accompanied Yuan Yin to walk by the leaping carp pond, regardless of the scorching sun, the two walked one after the other, Yuan Yin looked solemn, walked for a long time, perhaps tired, Yuan Yin just He stopped, looked sideways at Xiao Rong and asked:

"How does Xiao Qing view this matter?"

"Your Majesty is asking me, have you ever thought about who did it?" Xiao Rong bowed and said gracefully.

Yuan Yin nodded: "It's just that I don't understand. Zhao's wife has been in Beijing, and Zhao Qing didn't write to her before she died. Why did she want to kill Zhao's wife? I don't understand."

"Since it's something I can't figure out, why don't your majesty go to the Ministry of Punishment with my ministers to see the evidence found by the Ministry of Punishment." Xiao Rong looked at Yuan Yin's melancholy and couldn't help inviting him.

Hearing Xiao Rong's proposal, Yuan Yin also thought it was good, he hadn't been out of the palace for a few days, so he might as well go out and have a look, so he agreed to Xiao Rong's request, and left Xiao Rong to have lunch in the palace, After lunch, go to the Criminal Ministry.

Under Yuan Yin's order, the lunch at noon was also prepared according to Xiao Rong's taste, and the delicate dishes were no worse than food.

Xiao Rong was not restrained, and his heart was sweet.

Looking at Xiao Rong's eating, Yuan Yin was very happy, thinking that Xiao Rong used to pick fish bones for him to pick up vegetables, and now he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables and put them in Xiao Rong's bowl, saying: "Wine is Xiao Rong's food. Qing is Mei Jianxue, cousin, do you have a taste of this dish that is comparable to the cook in Shangfu?"

Xiao Rong had tasted the dishes made by Yuan Yin, and he didn't know whether it was sweetness in his heart or why, he just felt that this dish had lost its original taste, even after tasting it, his mouth was still sweet: "The royal chef in the palace is the best in the world. The cooks are naturally a thousand times better than the cooks in the mansion."

"But I feel that even if all the delicacies in the world are in front of my eyes, if Xiao Qing doesn't share them, they will taste the same, and the food will not taste good." Yuan Yin held his chopsticks and looked at Xiao Rong, his words were serious and sincere.

And his words were heard in Xiao Rong's ears, which made Xiao Rong feel that his heart was wrapped in a layer of honey again. He didn't pick up food or drink while holding the chopsticks, but just nodded and looked at the dishes in front of him for a long time. Then he looked sideways at Yuan Yin and said: "Even if there are thousands of delicacies in the world, they are not as sweet as your majesty."

Originally, Yuan Yin's words were sincere, but when he heard Xiao Rong say these words in such a serious manner, what happened in the romantic dream unconsciously appeared in his mind, and he felt a fire in his heart, and two streams of heat flowed from his nose When he came out, Xiao Luzi, who was waiting on the sidelines, panicked, and hurriedly called out to the imperial physician.

Originally it was just a simple lunch, but it alarmed the imperial physician, so the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager rushed to Ganlu Hall not long after, watching the imperial physician diagnose Yuan Yin's pulse.

"Doctor, what's wrong with the emperor? Why did he suddenly have a nosebleed?" The Empress Dowager sat beside Yuan Yin, looking at her grandson with a worried face.

The Empress Dowager was sitting in front of the couch, while Xiao Rong stood aside, frowning slightly.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, according to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty has this disease due to overwork in recent days, and the hot weather has caused Qi and blood to surge up." The imperial physician answered the question of the Empress Dowager respectfully.

The Empress Dowager, who had always been stern, now had unusually worried eyes, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty should be careful with state affairs, don't you still have ministers?"

"Queen mother, I am the king of a country, how can I rely on my ministers for everything." Yuan Yin knew that the queen mother was concerned about himself at the moment, so he reached out and shook her sleeves, said with a cute smile, and took another His eyes secretly aimed at Xiao Rong who was standing on the other side.

He frowned slightly, and there was a little worry in his eyes. The Empress Dowager felt even more distressed, and she hugged her grandson and refused to let go:

"Grandson of the Ai family, you are very much like your father. No matter how important the state affairs are, you have to be careful about your health."

"Grandmother, grandson knows." Yuan Yin acted coquettishly at the Empress Dowager. Fortunately, he was the only one who understood why he had a sudden nosebleed. Because I thought of Xiao Rong, a seductive evildoer.

It was precisely because of Yuan Yin's nosebleed that he had seen the imperial physician, and originally planned to go to the Ministry of Punishment with Xiao Rong in the afternoon, but at the moment, under the strict watch of the Queen Mother, he could only give up aggrieved and lay on the bed to rest:

"Xiao Qing, after you go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, write down everything you see, and go to the palace at night to tell me."

"I obey the order." Although Xiao Rong was stunned, he still answered with a salute.

"Grandson, your body is like this, you should take a good rest. If there is anything, Xiao Qing can report it to the court tomorrow." The Empress Dowager felt even more distressed when she heard that her grandson had to worry about state affairs. .

"Grandmother, Zhao Qing went to Chongzhou for disaster relief, but the widow was killed. At the feet of the emperor, the court ordered the government to commit murder. Now only a pair of children are left. How can I not care about it?" Yuan Yin shook the empress dowager His sleeves, his expression also suddenly turned sad, and the empress dowager felt distressed when he heard it.

"It's all for His Majesty's loyalty, that's all. It's good for the emperor to be sympathetic to his courtiers, but you have to remember to take good care of yourself." The Empress Dowager patted the back of Yuan Yin's hand and told him to stay with him after Xiao Rong left. After waiting for a while, after instructing the servants in the Palace of Ganlu to serve the master well, they left the Palace of Ganlu with the Queen Mother.

After the queen mother walked out of the palace, she turned back and stood in front of Yuan Yin and said: "The queen mother was strict with you because your father gave his country to you. Busy for Guozuo, I hope you don't let your father down, now it seems that the queen mother is worrying too much."

"Mother's queen..." Yuan Yin looked at the kindly eyes of the queen mother in front of him, and suddenly felt a little pain in his heart.

He suddenly remembered that in his last life, because of his own fault, he had dealt with the Marquis of Wu'an's family. Although the empress did not dare to show dissatisfaction with him, as the younger sister of Marquis Wu'an, after trying her best to dissuade her but failed, the empress dowager turned white all night. Then he locked himself in Changle Palace and never saw Yuan Yin again.

Yuan Yin only said that his mother was extremely strict with him and didn't like him, but in the end he found that the mother's strictness with him was because she loved her father deeply, and she was afraid that she would disappoint him and let her I feel sorry for my husband.

After all, there is no mother in the world who does not love her children.

"You are the emperor, the emperor should have the majesty of the emperor, and you are not allowed to act like a baby in the future." The queen mother looked at Yuan Yin's appearance, and returned to her previous cold face.

But Yuan Yin was not afraid, and continued to shake the Queen Mother's sleeve: "Mother, the son in court is the emperor, and now he only wants to be the mother's son."

The queen mother couldn't hold back anymore, with tears in her eyes, she reached out to caress Yuan Yin's face and said: "You are really like your father, but only this once."

"My son knows." Yuan Yin said with a smile, and even the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing.

After the Queen Mother also left the Ganlu Hall, the hall really quieted down. Yuan then anxiously waited for the dark in the hall. Although he wanted to know the news Xiao Rong got from the Ministry of Punishment eagerly, he wanted to see Xiao Rong as soon as possible. Xiao Rong.

"Report to Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao is asking to see you."

Yuan Yin was pacing back and forth in the hall, and when he heard Xiao Luzi's report, he quickly said with joy, "Xuan, hurry up, when Lord Xiao comes, you can see me directly, and you don't need to report."

Xiao Rong stepped into the hall, saw Yuan Yin walking towards him with joy on his face, and hurriedly saluted, but Yuan Yin grabbed him and said eagerly: "Xiao Qing, you are here, the punishment department What did you find?"

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Rong took out a blueprint from his bosom and handed it to Yuan Yin: "Your Majesty, do you still remember Gu Nianxia?"

"Of course I remember." Yuan Yin took the paper, opened it quickly and looked carefully, but only saw that what was drawn on the blueprint seemed to be a weapon.

Xiao Rong said: "Gu Nianxia was serving Mrs. Zhao at the Zhao Mansion. She heard the sound of tiles breaking at the second watch last night, so she held the lamp and went out to have a look, but when she didn't want to come back, she found Mrs. Zhao stabbed to death by this dagger. In bed, the murderer is nowhere to be seen."

"Could it be that the murderer is Gu Nianxia?" Yuan Yin looked at the blueprint in his hand and said doubtfully.

Xiao Rong shook his head, then pointed to the pattern on the handle of the dagger on the blueprint and said: "This kind of dagger is not commonly seen in the market, but this pattern does not look like a pattern, but rather resembles an emblem."

"Hui Yin?" Yuan Yin was even more puzzled.

Xiao Rong nodded and said: "That's right, my grandfather Zhen Guogong killed the enemy at the border when he was young. It was because of this that his emblem was quickly spread among the Beiyi army. Later, the Beiyi people didn't need to see it with their own eyes. Grandfather, just by whose emblem is printed on the army flag in front of the battle, you know who this army belongs to."

"Since that's the case, then the handle on the knife should also be the emblem seal?" Yuan Yin asked half-understanding.
