Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 269

Ye Qing was silent for a moment: "...Did my second sister really do it?" Su Chen didn't answer, she hesitated for a while, and then asked, "The injury on my second sister's body doesn't seem to be that simple, the man was found by the prince, the prince Do you know what's going on?"

Su Chen asked back: "How did she tell you?"

Ye Qing said: "She said she got into a fight with someone while listening to the song."

Su Chen glanced at her, and said, "That's because of a fight."

Ye Qing seemed to understand but not understand.

Ye Song was half-assisted and half-supported into the hall. When Su Ruoqing saw her appearance, there was nothing strange on her face, but her heart ached.Ye Songxing was awake, but he couldn't even stand upright, reeking of alcohol.

Su Ruoqing ordered someone to bring a chair, gave her to sit down, and asked: "What's the matter with Ye Aiqing's injury?" The blood on the wrist was shocking, but she didn't care.

Li Ruyi, who was pitiful and secretly resentful a moment ago, became vigilant when she saw Ye Song now, and she became more sober.She forgot that Ye Song still had injuries on his body, and that injury was caused by herself. At this time, let her confront the arson, what if she also identified herself at the same time?
Li Ruyi forced herself to be calm, she was also a victim.What's more, the Ruyi Palace was completely burned down by a big fire, and even if there were any clues, there was nothing left.Ye Song identified her, but she just shook her head and denied it. Without evidence, she couldn't help herself.

Li Ruyi immediately complained, pointing at the chaotic Ye Song, and said: "Your Majesty, that's her! She set fire to my concubine's bedroom last night, and threatened to kill her! This concubine has no grievances against her, She has already killed Chenqie's own younger brother, and Chenqie knows that the foolish brother is at fault and has nothing to say, but why did she kill Chenqie..." As she spoke, she shed tears of sadness, and knelt down in front of Su Ruoqing , "I beg the emperor to make decisions for my concubines!"

Su Ruoqing looked at Su Chen with questioning eyes, but said nothing.

Su Chen bowed and said: "My majesty, I don't know where the second lady's injury came from. Only when the second lady was announced tonight, the second lady was not at the house, so I followed the third lady to find out where the second lady is. Already very drunk."

No matter who this Li Ruyi is, Ye Qing dares to pretentiously frame her second sister, it must not be a good thing.She put on such a pitiful appearance, Ye Qing spat in contempt in his heart.She also knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for accompanying my sister to come here. It is because my sister is unwell and needs someone to accompany you. Just now what the empress said, the minister does not know what her intentions are, She actually framed my sister for arson in the palace. Not to mention that the palace is heavily guarded, my sister only knows how to punch and kick, how can she go in and out of the palace without being discovered. Secondly, my sister has been injured like this, I don’t know what happened to this empress She was so cruel that she still had the strength to set the fire. To be honest, my sister is not in a good mood recently, and she often goes out to get drunk, and because of some reasons, she has been feeling uncomfortable." When Ye Qing said this, he looked straight at Su Ruoqing. It was a silent accusation and complaint, "Yesterday, I was beaten like this outside because of drinking, and when I got home, I fell asleep and couldn't wake up. Even the doctor didn't want to see it, and I had a fever. Didn't the minister believe it? Talking nonsense, the emperor just sees that my sister is like this, this is the evidence of iron and steel, and this empress said casually, she has the ability to produce evidence! Although the minister and the second sister are women, they have no talent and no talent. Virtue, but at least she is a young lady of the General’s Mansion, so I ask you to be careful when you make false accusations like this out of thin air!”

Ye Qing is neither humble nor overbearing, everything sounds reasonable.Gui Ji, who was at the side, could only see her small mouth opening and closing, talking non-stop, and he couldn't take his eyes off her small mouth at all.

She used to be a chatterbox, but now that she was allowed to speak out in one breath, she felt extremely comfortable.She thought that there was also the matter of her second sister getting drunk late at night. Although she didn't know the exact time, but it made her depressed like this, it must have something to do with Su Ruoqing in front of her.

Li Ruyi stared and wanted to say something more, but Ye Qing interrupted again: "My sister is so drunk that she may not be able to say anything to defend herself, but my daughter is very sober, and everything she said is true. Please be enlightened by the emperor. With God’s blessing, the imperial concubine was able to escape from death. The empress must have been extremely frightened, and it is not too much to be agitated and confused. My daughter suggested that the emperor ask the imperial physician to treat her mental state."

"You!" Li Ruyi trembled with anger, and almost lost his breath again.

At this moment, Su Chen looked at Li Ruyi, and for some reason, that look made Li Ruyi's heart instantly lift.Su Chen said: "I think that if the imperial concubine still insists that the Second Miss Ye is the arsonist, we can wait until the Second Miss wakes up to examine carefully, including where the Second Miss was when the Ruyi Palace caught fire, and where her injuries are. Where did it come from. As the Minister of Dali Temple, I will definitely live up to the holy hope and investigate this matter clearly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ruyi rolled his eyes, pretending to be weak like a weak willow facing the wind, and was about to faint.Su Ruoqing helped her in time, and said, "Doctor Xuan."

Su Chen couldn't help sneering in his heart, it's time for her to pretend to faint.

Su Ruoqing glanced at the chair, just when he was about to make a decision about tonight's matter, his body trembled unexpectedly.Li Ruyi was still nestled in his arms.

But Ye Song had already opened his eyes, and although he was not clearly drunk, his cheeks were flushed.It's just that those eyes are so clear and clear, looking directly at Su Ruoqing's eyes quietly, without any emotion.It's like unconsciously sleepwalking and opening your eyes in the middle of the night.

After a while, Ye Song slowly closed his eyes again and never woke up again.

In the end, the imperial physician came to diagnose Li Ruyi. Su Ruoqing suppressed the uneasy feeling in her heart and said, "That's the end of tonight's business. Go home and send Miss Ye family back."

Ye Qing complained about Su Ruoqing, and he and Gui Ji complained together. Hearing this, he gave Gui Ji a pair of eyes, snorted lightly, and said in a normal manner: "Thank you for the kindness of the emperor, but you don't need to bother the commander. There is a carriage at the gate of the palace. Just go back in a carriage with my sister. My daughter-in-law will leave."

After finishing speaking, he lifted Ye Song up and staggered out.Su Chen also said "Resignation", and stepped forward to help.Knowing that Su Ruoqing was worried, she still brazenly followed to the entrance of the hall, but Ye Qing turned around and scolded: "What are you doing out here? Go back and follow your master! You don't need me and my second sister! You don't know, my second sister What kind of life my sister has lived during this time, it is your master's fault! Now I have the nerve to suspect that my second sister set fire to his palace, and wanted to make my second sister confront his imperial concubine face to face. Did you stab my second sister in the heart?" Gui Ji was startled, Ye Qing asked Su Chen angrily, "Can I trouble the third prince to let the officials of Dali Temple escort us back?"

If Su Chen said he couldn't, he would be scolded by Ye Qing on the spot.It's just that Su Chen can't wait for it, so there's no reason why he shouldn't.

Ye Qing's voice was neither loud nor soft, he deliberately let Su Ruoqing inside hear him.Su Ruoqing did hear it, and what always came to mind was the calm look Ye Song looked at him from the chair just now.

It should be dead silent.

Ye Qing and Su Chen supported each other and walked slowly.Su Chen didn't care about it either, and said: "Walking back like this, it must be dawn."

Ye Qing panted, "Then what do you say?" After she finished speaking, she exclaimed, and saw Su Chen embrace Ye Song into her arms, hugged Ye Song and walked away with great strides.

She exclaimed for Ye Song.If Ye Song knew that he was drunk and carried back by Su Chen, he would definitely be so angry that he would flip the table.

But right now, Ye Song is sleeping very well.Tilting her head on Su Chen's chest, she didn't say a word.

Su Chen carried her into the carriage, and drove the two sisters back to the General's Mansion in the carriage overnight.

Ye Song was in a daze for another two days, and continued acting like a normal person.Her heartless appearance made it impossible for people to see the pain in her heart at all.The imperial physician was sent to the General's Mansion to treat Ye Song's injuries according to Su Ruoqing's order.

Ye Song responded with an attitude of "sacred wisdom is hard to break, but I am willing to accept it because no money is required". The imperial physician was very considerate. As long as she didn't climb the wall to go out to drink in the middle of the night, the wound would be fine after a few days of scabbing.For the scar on her forehead, the imperial physician specially left an ointment on it and wiped it three times a day without leaving any traces.

The drought in the south of the Yangtze River is rare in a century.If it is said that there have been two rains in Kyoto this year, Jiangnan, which has always had plenty of rain, has not rained at all.The common people depend on the sky for food, and now the crop harvest is only less than [-]% of previous years, and the common people are in the midst of famine.The people in the south of the Yangtze River rejoiced when they heard that the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to the south to open a warehouse to release grain.

Huncheng and Gusu belong to the south-north belt.The water in the river that surrounds the city is almost bottoming out.In the past, ships used to transport goods through this river, and it was very prosperous, but now it is only solemn and deserted.

Miss Ying led Su Jing to walk in the streets and alleys of the dim city, and finally stood on a small bridge.There were only dark shadows cast under the bridge, and knee-shallow water shadows.There was no longer a black boat under the bridge, but he pointed to the end of the bridge and said, "It's usually a place for boats."

Miss Ying smiled happily: "Brother Su, how do you know?"

Su Jing thought for a while, then shook her head helplessly: "It seems that I borrowed a pontoon from the old man here." He pointed to the corner of the street not far away, and his eyes passed over a willow tree by the railing by the river , "Over there, there should be an old woman selling sour plum soup."

Miss Ying smacked her lips greedily, took Su Jing's sleeve and ran down the bridge to that side, saying, "That's great, I'm so thirsty, Brother Su, let's go drink sour plum soup!"

As a result, the two of them walked to the corner, and a narrow passage extended from the alley. An old woman was sitting in the passage, but what she was selling was not sour plum soup, but Bai Shengsheng's millet shrimp.Although Miss Ying wanted to drink sour plum soup, but seeing the cool sweetness in the millet shrimp, she ordered a bowl of millet shrimp, mixed it with brown sugar and took a sip, it was so refreshing to the bottom of her heart.

Miss Ying sighed, "It's delicious, old aunt. My brother Su said that this place used to sell sour plum soup. Why don't they sell sour plum soup now and instead sell millet shrimp?"
