Tibetan beads

After going to bed at night, the queen said to Emperor Mingde: "A Yin has been to Taiyuan Palace several times, and today he suddenly asked me why Liu Wuniang was punished lightly."

When Emperor Ming De came back, the Queen mentioned this to him.Emperor Mingde had a lot of things to do every day, so he didn't have the heart to pay attention to these trivial matters, so he just knew about it.

Speaking of it at this time, he replied while reading: "You have received a light punishment. It is all because of you that she can return to the palace to enjoy the blessings. Such ungratefulness shows that the roots are broken."

"Your statement is exactly the same as that of Ah Yin!" The queen sighed and continued, "It's not for Ah Cheng. After all, Liu Wuniang is his aunt, so we must show some kindness."

Emperor Ming De didn't say anything.

He lowered his head and read two more lines, and suddenly remembered: "You said Ah Yin went to Taiyuan Palace several times? What did she go to do?"

"She said it was to pass the time." Seeing that Emperor Mingde's expression was wrong, the queen asked, "What's wrong?"

Emperor Mingde said: "She and Liu Wuniang have fallen out, why did she go to Taiyuan Palace to pass the time? I think there is something wrong."

"Hey," the queen reacted, "...that's exactly what you said."

"This girl is a ghost, don't you see the clues?" Thinking of this, Emperor Mingde couldn't read the book anymore, "You said she was the first to find out what was wrong last time?"

The queen nodded: "Ah Cheng and I didn't expect it, but luckily she is here."

"Tell me what happened last time carefully." Emperor Ming De felt that he might have missed something.

The queen didn't understand, and told the whole thing from beginning to end.

After she finished speaking, Emperor Mingde heaved a long sigh: "It seems that I have to talk to her."

The queen hesitated for a while: "You doubt her..."

Emperor Ming De nodded: "Look, how well-prepared she is, first she made Liu Xi'er betray her, then caught the snake releaser on the spot, and then pinned down the accomplice. This chain after chain, how can it be like Was it a temporary discovery? I think she might have been planning this matter for a long time."

After finishing speaking, he felt a little regretful.Yan Cheng is not bad as a director on weekdays, but he is not as clever as Xu Yin when it comes to scheming people's hearts. After all, he is inherently damaged.

The queen was shocked: "This..."

Emperor Mingde comforted: "Don't worry, although she provoked the matter, the root cause is Liu Wuniang's evil intentions. It may be that she found out that Liu Wuniang had a problem, and it was hard to say, so she set up a trap. It's also to protect you and A Cheng."

The queen nodded. After getting along for so long, she also knew what kind of temperament Xu Yin was. This was indeed her style of dealing with things.

"It's fine after this matter is over, but she even went to Taiyuan Palace recently, I'm afraid she has something on her mind again." Emperor Mingde shook his head and smiled bitterly, "She really is a girl who can't sit still, and she can't live with a big belly."

The queen thought for a while: "Then I will ask her tomorrow?"

Emperor Ming De said, "No need." His eyes softened, "You are too soft-hearted, and this matter is related to Ah Cheng, so let me do it."

The queen sighed silently: "Sister Liu has few relatives left, I originally wanted to save her life..."

Mentioning this, Emperor Mingde also fell silent.

……

After breakfast on the second day, Emperor Mingde said: "Ayin, today I have to discuss military affairs, you can go with me."

Xu Yin did not doubt it: "Yes, father."

When we arrived at the Mingguang Hall, there was a normal small court meeting in front of it, and Xu Yin was listening behind the screen.After the discussion was over, everyone left, and Emperor Mingde asked her to come out: "When this batch of Zhentian Lei is sent to the front line, the siege battle will be much easier. I hope that the war will end soon, and Xiao Er can come back to look after the child." born."

Xu Yin also hoped.It's not that she has no regrets in her heart when she is pregnant until she gives birth. It's just that the war is important, and there is no other way but to be patient.

At this point, when the business was finished, Emperor Mingde didn't tell her to back down, but said after deliberation: "I heard that you have been to Taiyuan Palace several times, but what's wrong with Concubine Liu?"

Xu Yin was surprised, he didn't expect Emperor Mingde to take care of such a trivial matter, let alone he was so sensitive.

"Is there anything hard to say?" Emperor Mingde said slowly, "Last time, you bought Liu Xi'er in advance and deliberately set a trap for her to fall into, right?"

"..." After a brief silence, Xu Yin admitted frankly, "Yes."

Sure enough, she was the one who snatched the throne, and she saw through this little trick at a glance.

"Then what else do you have to worry about? Concubine Liu will not be able to leave Taiyuan Palace in the future, so naturally she can't harm anyone anymore."

Xu Yin asked back: "Father, do you think this matter is over?"

Emperor Mingde stared at her: "Do you think it's not over?"

Xu Yin nodded slowly: "I went to Taiyuan Palace to see that Concubine Liu gets up before dawn every day, and only rests late at night. She either goes to work in the fields, or chant scriptures and worships Buddha, eats simple tea and light food, and wears coarse black clothes. When facing me, she can still flatter her with a smile. She used to be a queen, and she has fallen to such a point. She is neither ashamed nor filled with resentment, as if there is still hope in her heart to support her. Father , do you think this is abnormal?"

Emperor Mingde replied: "Ants can steal their lives, let alone people? She is not a person with strong bones."

Xu Yin noticed Emperor Mingde's attitude and was silent for a moment.But her behavior has been noticed, and without an explanation, the plan cannot go ahead, and she doesn't want to give up.

"Father, would you like to make a bet with me?"

Emperor Mingde sighed in his heart, this girl is really persistent enough, they all hinted to her to stop doing it, and still persist like this.

"Okay." Thinking of the two months he was forced to recuperate in the military camp, he reluctantly admitted, "What do you want?"

Xu Yin smiled: "I will report all my actions to you, but please don't interfere, just be a witness. Let's wait and see how the situation develops to see if there is anything wrong with Concubine Liu."

Without waiting for Emperor Mingde to speak, she added another sentence: "This is for the sake of my mother. Concubine Liu is clearly malicious to her. If there are future troubles left behind, what should I do if I hurt my mother?"

These words made Emperor Mingde freeze.He thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, but you have to understand that some things can't be overdone, even if you are not wrong, if you do it, it will hurt your feelings."

Xu Yin smiled: "Isn't my father guarding me? If it doesn't work, my father can stop at any time."

Emperor Mingde couldn't hold back his smile: "You are full of beautiful words, you learned from Xiao Er, right? That's all right, all right, I have to do something for my father, what should you do."

Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, my daughter-in-law is resigning."

Watching her go out, the smile on Emperor Mingde's face slowly disappeared.

He held the vermilion pen in his hand, but did not move for a while, and finally called the hidden guard: "Go, check the prince's whereabouts."

"Yes." The dark guard took orders and left without saying a word.

Emperor Mingde put down his pen, and there was an undercurrent rushing fiercely in his heart.

He could tell that the person Xu Yin really suspected was Yan Cheng.
