Chapter 118 The Empress Dowager Inquiry
This is the first time that Guan Shuzhu has received so much reduction in disgust since he has been doing the mission for so long.
After being stunned for a moment, he looked sideways at him.
The black eyes of the young man beside him were like a piece of fine black jade, and there were many emotions in the black jade that she couldn't understand.
Even so, it was enough to make her heart tremble slightly, and she didn't dare to continue looking at him.
It just so happened that all the servants who testified at this moment had finished speaking one by one. She took this opportunity to ask Qi Zimo to speak and give him a chance to defend himself.
Seeing her subconscious avoidance, Qi Zimo was not in a hurry. After withdrawing his scorching gaze from her face, he looked at the empress dowager who was frowning deeply.
"The theft of the Imperial Seal was indeed not my doing.
After the prince left me in the gazebo, I stayed in the gazebo until the imperial guards suddenly appeared to arrest me. "
Su Bing finally succeeded in designing it, and of course it is impossible to just let Qi Zimo be cleared of the crime.
Hearing this, she smiled lightly, and Liu Ye narrowed her eyes slightly.
"You said yes?
There are a lot of witnesses here to prove that you stole the jade seal. If you feel wronged, you can call some people to testify.
If not, don't blame Gu for using some torture to interrogate you. "
Su Bing concluded that it was impossible for Qi Zimo to stand up again, because this was in the palace, under his territory.
Qi Zimo, the proton of such a small country, probably doesn't know much about the topography of the palace, let alone find some people in the palace to prove him.
Seeing the crown prince being so aggressive, Guan Shuzhu frowned too much.
Even if she intends to intercede for Qi Zimo, but as Su Bing said, they can't produce any personal or physical evidence.
Just when the atmosphere was stagnant, he suddenly saw a guard with a joyful face walking hurriedly into the cell, and bowed his hands respectfully to Su Bing.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Seal has been found.
Found in a feral cat's litter. "
"How is it possible?! Did you bring the Imperial Seal?"
Su Bing couldn't believe it. After all, his people had put away the imperial seal, so how could it suddenly run into some wild cat's den?
However, when the guard really took out the national seal from his cuff and checked it several times, he really believed that it was the real national seal.
Seeing this, he raised his eyes to look at Qi Zimo, and saw that there was no trace of panic on his face, but there was some irony in his eyes.
After feeling depressed, he put the national seal back into the bag, and when he looked at Qi Zimo again, he said something weird.
"It's a coincidence that you are so lucky."
But at this juncture, I got out of trouble. Before I thought about it, I was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
Qi Zimo didn't respond to his words, and didn't have any idea that Su Bing would apologize to him, but just looked down at his hands that were still tied with thick ropes.
"Now that I have figured out that I did not steal the Great Seal, this rope."
"The rope can be untied, it has been proved that you did not steal it, right?"
As Guan Shuzhu said, he directly helped him untie the rope, and saw that his hands were strangled, leaving obvious red marks, and some places were even torn.
He raised his head and looked at Su Bing, whose eyes were so dark: "Brother Bing, Qi Zimo still has injuries on his wrists. If there is nothing else, how about I take him to treat the injuries first?"
The empress dowager has lived such an old age. After looking back and forth between Su Bing and Qi Zimo for a while, she can guess the truth.
Seeing that Su Bing still refused to let go, he spoke directly.
"Prince, since the matter has been clarified, you should quickly take the imperial seal back and find a safe place to put it.
As for Ah Zhu, the Ai family had made an agreement with her earlier.
People, the Ai family will take them back to the Compassion Palace first. "
The empress dowager had already spoken, even if Su Bing really wanted to make things difficult, he could do nothing.
He could only reluctantly agree.
Not long after leaving the royal prison, Guan Shuzhu stuffed Qi Zimo with the wound ointment she had carried with her before.
"Hurry up and smear it on. As the princess's plaything, if you leave any scars on your body, the princess will dislike you."
[The rope is also a little thicker, how can it still break the skin.
After going back, ask Lin Caijing for some high-quality wound medicine for him. 】
Seeing her duplicity, Qi Zimo felt that she was cute for the first time.
He reached out to take the porcelain ointment bottle, said "um" in a low voice, and suddenly called her again.
"The county lord."
"Huh?" The girl turned her head puzzled.
Qi Zimo bent the corners of her lips, and there was a strong sense of joy in her eyes.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to call you suddenly."
After Guan Shuzhu secretly scolded him for being crazy, he didn't know that on the way to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, the teenagers behind him all stared at her back with burning eyes.
This sight was so obvious that even the empress dowager who was walking beside them noticed it.
After secretly nodding, a little aunt's smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
When she was young, the late Emperor was also like this, he always liked to call her by her first name and ask him, but he didn't say the reason.
After careful questioning, he realized that this move was only because he loved her too much, so he wanted to call her.
It is said that just hearing her respond, this heart can be happy for a long time.
Now after many years, the Empress Dowager felt a burst of emotion and nostalgia when she saw similar incidents among juniors like Guan Shuzhu.
After the group arrived at the Compassionate Ning Palace, Guan Shuzhu was asked by the Empress Dowager to drink tea in the outer room and wait, while she called Qi Zimo to the inner room to talk alone.
The old woman with gray temples leaned on a pear wood walking stick and sat on the imperial concubine's couch, seeing the young man in green shirt standing upright in front of her.
After Mammy brought up the hot teapot and poured tea for the two of them, she said in an old voice, "Sit down.
Aijia has a lot to ask you, and I don't think it will end in a while. "
Qi Zimo nodded without the slightest twitch, and sat directly opposite the empress dowager.
"I don't know if you asked me to come in alone, but you just said it's okay."
The old woman held the teacup and blew the hot air in the teacup.
"Not long ago, Ah Zhu told the Ai family that he wanted to marry you.
But Azhu's husband is not so easy to be.
According to Aijia's observation, you really have nothing to say about your affection for her.
But there is another point, Aijia is a little uncertain, so I have to ask you personally. "
Qi Zimo nodded, and signaled the Queen Mother to continue speaking with his eyes.
"The Ai family would like to know, have you ever thought about it, after you and Azhu are really married, if one day Azhu is in danger of life, how will you protect her and make her feel at ease?"
It is true that with the current power of Baotong Kingdom and the favor and protection of her and her grandson Su Bing, Guan Shuzhu does not have to worry about his life.
But there is a contingency in everything, if one day even they can't protect Guan Shuzhu, then the only person who can continue to protect her unconditionally is her husband-in-law.
The Empress Dowager really treats Zhu with her heart.
