What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 177 I Pulled Out Your Tongues

"Hurry up and eat, if there is anything else you want to eat, the servant will ask for it again"

Xiao Lianzi began to urge, Xiao Guizi also casually agreed.

Lin Zhengxiao looked at the rice bowl in his hand, once again feeling that this must be abnormal.

His mind turned sharply, he looked at the sparrow outside the window, and took out the bowl in a hurry, saying that he wanted to feed the sparrow.

"These sparrows come to beg for food every day, I'm used to it"

As he spoke, he sprinkled the rice grains in the bowl on the stone table to feed them.

Seeing that she was about to reveal her secrets, Xiao Guizi hurriedly took off her clothes to cover the rice grains.

"I heard from the master chef in the dining room that these rice grains are rouge fragrant rice. The annual tribute is no more than a thousand catties, and it is all in the palace. This bowl is worth a lot of money. It is too wasteful for you to feed the birds."

Lin Zhengxiao was puzzled.

"But the food I ate had no aroma, and it was no different from the food in the guard camp."

Xiao Lianzi laughed and said that the food was probably cold.

"Would you like me to warm you up again?"

"You want to feed the bird, the servant will find you some food for the bird. You should eat this bowl of rice."

The two little eunuchs wanted to coax Lin Zhengxiao back into the house.

Lin Zhengxiao was tall, even if he was injured, he would never be manipulated by the two young eunuchs.

He easily and skillfully bypassed the little eunuch and lifted off the clothes on the ground.

It happened that two sparrows landed on the ground, pecking at the rice grains lightly and neatly.

Xiao Lianzi and Xiao Guizi were dumbfounded, they even forgot the words to stop them.

As expected, the two sparrows fell to the ground, spitting out a lump of blood the size of soybeans. The thick black blood congealed into blood beads, which could not soak into the ground for a long time.

Lin Zhengxiao was surprised first, then terrified, the young man slumped on the ground and looked at Que'er's body.

"poisonous"

"Someone is trying to kill me"

"Someone in this palace wants to kill me"

His eyes were red, his face turned pale, and his whole body began to tremble.

God opened his eyes, Nine Kings Xie Chenao happened to pass by.

He often practices martial arts in the school grounds, and he is very familiar with the surrounding area. After moving out of the palace, he occasionally goes to the palace to practice martial arts, and he will also rest near the Xinfeng Pavilion.

When the road was uneven, he stepped forward to ask.

"what's going on?"

Lin Zhengxiao got up and saluted, and said the matter again.

Poisoning in the palace is a big taboo, no matter the maids and eunuchs or the masters of the palace, once found, all of them will be punished with death.

The two young eunuchs were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and said nothing, everything was a misunderstanding.

"Misunderstanding?"

Lin Zhengxiao sprinkled a few more grains of rice in front of Xie Chenao, and Que'er died as a result.

Three living little lives just passed away, Lin Zhengxiao knelt down and begged the Ninth Prince.

"The empress is the most fair and just, I'm going to seek justice for these three sparrows, and ask the Ninth Prince to be a witness"

Xie Chenao actually didn't want to get involved in this matter.

But the emperor's brother is not in the palace, he can't ignore the kindness that the emperor treats him.

Xie Chenao grabbed the collars of the two young eunuchs and strode forward, while Lin Zhengxiao walked behind with the rice and the bodies of the three sparrows in his hands.

Jiaofang Palace

The queen stared blankly at the scene in front of her, but didn't react for a while.

Lin Zhengxiao was not in a hurry.

If the queen didn't make a statement, he said it again, and again, until the queen couldn't sit still anymore.

She questioned the two young eunuchs: "You are so brave, you dare to make such poisonous things in the palace, do you know that this is a capital offense?"

Of course the two young eunuchs were not reconciled, crying and saying that they were wronged.

"You guys have no grievances with Mr. Lin, why did you kill him? The slaves are wronged..."

"Since you said you were wronged, then go and find the people in the dining room. There must be some explanations for the food they cook. This palace will never allow such things to happen in the palace!"

"The empress is so impartial and selfless as the rumors say, and she values ​​faith and righteousness."

Putting on one after another of the high hats, the queen can't get off the tiger.

The people from the dining room arrived soon, and one or two shouted their grievances, and vowed to pat their chests.

"Your Majesty, you can send someone to search. The little ones have to make meals for the palaces and courtyards a day. How dare you play tricks on the imported things?"

It was even more difficult for the queen, of course she knew it was not a problem with the dining room.

But... I can only search.

Lufu took six third-class eunuchs out and came back an hour later, saying that they searched carefully and found nothing unusual.

The people in the dining room were cleared of the charges, and the chief eunuch led the people back out.

The queen's eyes fell on the two little eunuchs again.

"It's either them or you, what else is there to say?"

Xiao Lianzi knelt down in a panic, crying again for being wronged.

Xiao Guizi also cried, and the snot bubbles flew out of both of their noses.

The queen wanted to protect them, and asked who else had touched the meal?
Lin Zhengxiao cupped his fists.

"Back to Empress, there are only the three of us in the Xinfeng Pavilion, and there is no one around us."

The queen was speechless and even more difficult to get off.

If only Lin Zhengxiao was fine, the key was that the Nine Kings were still there, and he couldn't turn black and white in front of him just to protect the two eunuchs.

Fists clenched and opened, opened and clenched.

Wang Xiangjun gritted his teeth: "Come here, search for the residences of the two of them for me."

Xiao Lianzi panicked and wanted to kowtow to beg for mercy.

Xiao Guizi quickly winked at him, meaning that the Empress would not ignore them.

Unfortunately it backfired.

Half an hour later, Lufu came in with a bag of rat poison, which he said was found in Xiaolianzi's cabinet.

Xiao Lianzi's face turned pale with fright.

"Help, empress, this servant is here to drive away mice"

"Yeah, even the presence of rat poison doesn't prove that it's us. You must not falsely accuse good people."

The two sang together, trying to place the blame on Lin Zhengxiao.

Lin Zhengxiao's expression changed almost instantly, and tears fell as soon as he spoke.

"The humble minister's life is humble, and he shouldn't be recuperating in the palace, but sister begged for the emperor's favor"

"The emperor and the queen empress are so kind, they approved the room and me, and my sister sent two father-in-laws to take care of them."

"Who would have thought that such a thing would happen, someone would put the humble minister to death"

"It's not a pity for a humble official to die, but if you miss the name of the empress because of it, then you really deserve to die."

"It's all under the rule of Weichen, please punish me severely, don't worry about the face of Weichen and my sister"

Speaking of this, the queen has no possibility of evading it.

She immediately ordered Lufu to tie up the two young eunuchs and send them to Gong Zhengsi for strict punishment according to law.

Xiao Lianzi was terrified and begged for mercy repeatedly.

"The servant is devoted to the empress, and shares the worries for the empress, how can the empress see death without saving her?"

"Empress, please forgive me, are you going to compromise the two of us for an irrelevant person?"

"The empress saves the servants"

Wang Xiangjun was terrified, and quickly asked Lufu to shut their mouths.

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful that I pull out your tongues"

Lu Fu gagged his mouth with a broken rag, and the two were taken down whimpering.

The queen slumped down on the phoenix chair, dazed for a long time before recovering.

"Young Master Lin laughed at me. In the end, it's because of my lack of strict governance."

Lin Zhengxiao wiped her tears with her sleeve.

"The empress made a wise decision, and I admire you so much. My sister will also be grateful for your justice when she comes back."

Mentioning Lin Ximeng made Wang Xiangjun feel sick.

That bitch is trying to tact Cheng En.
