Chapter 308 Search one by one
"There is such a thing?!"

Eunuch Li walked into the hall in a hurry, bowed his head and said a few words in the emperor's ear, and saw the emperor's long face was furious.

"Send someone to watch everyone, don't mess with the etiquette regulations, and no one is allowed to leave after the end."

The few people who were closer to the emperor heard his orders. Concubine Xian showed a successful smile on her face. The others were puzzled, but they all lowered their heads and did not dare to raise their heads. After all, what is going on now is a very serious matter. things.

When Eunuch Li got the emperor's order, he went down to work quietly.

"The time has come—after the ceremony—"

With Eunuch Li's sharp voice, it indicated that today's grave-sweeping was over.

Zhao Min breathed a sigh of relief, for three full hours, this job is really not done by humans, but that's okay, it's only like this once a year.

Slaves are not allowed to participate in this kneeling ceremony, so there is no one to support them. Zhao Min felt the pain and numbness of her knees, and then slowly stood up after a while. When she stood up, her figure was still a little unstable, almost fall.

Just when Zhao Min thought that he could go back and be arranged to rest in the courtyard for a while, he heard Eunuch Li's sharp voice: "The emperor has ordered that everyone stand where they are and are not allowed to leave."

Just as Zhao Min relaxed, she raised her throat again, because the emperor ordered, and it was a public place, she did not dare to make too indecent movements, so she could only endure the discomfort in her legs and stand dignifiedly in the crowd After all, she represents the face of Prince Ling's Mansion.

The emperor was not in a hurry to say what to do, he got up slowly with the support of Eunuch Li, sat on the chair, and let Eunuch Li beat his legs, and when the soreness in his legs eased, he lifted up the chair. hand, signaling Eunuch Li to stop.

I saw the emperor pulled his face and walked to the gate of the main hall.

"Just now at the beginning of the kneeling ancestor worship ceremony, I heard an incredible news." The emperor's tone was full of coldness, which made people feel creepy, "But in order not to affect the process, I will be in the ancestral line. In front of Zong, I don't want to lose face either."

Everyone who didn't know what was going on lowered their heads and looked at each other. Although the emperor didn't yell loudly, the cold tone made people feel even more frightened. Everyone felt uneasy, for fear that the emperor would transfer his anger to himself.

"Just now, I heard that someone secretly brought knee pads."

As soon as he heard the emperor mentioning the knee pads, Zhao Min couldn't help but think of the knee pads that were put down by the "good-hearted people" at his door this morning, and a sneer flashed in his heart, so he was waiting for him here!
Zhao Min also wanted to play with the black hand behind the scenes, and immediately showed a flustered look on his face, as if something really happened.

After the emperor walked out of the hall, everyone in the hall turned over, faced the emperor's back, and lowered their heads.

The concubine Xian raised her head and peeked at the expression on Zhao Min's face. When she saw the flustered expression on her face, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, letting you miss my son's future. Let's see how you break the game this time !

"Eunuch Li, take someone to check one by one, and don't miss any one. I will never forgive this kind of deceitful descendants who are ashamed in front of this old ancestor!"

The emperor has always valued sweeping the tomb. Every year, he will repeat the order repeatedly, never allowing even the slightest bit of dishonesty in front of the ancestors. Unexpectedly, there are still people who dare to commit crimes today. It is really unforgivable!

After all, they are all relatives of the emperor, and they grew up holding them in the palm of their hands. When did they undergo such a body search?Even if it's just a knee check, some people can't stand it.

"Brother Huang, you don't need to check them one by one. The tomb-sweeping regulations are over, so what if you check them out?"

The one who spoke was Prince Gong, the emperor's younger brother, who had always been stubborn. Even though he was middle-aged, he was still out of shape every day. It was precisely because he did not show the slightest interest in the throne that the emperor was able to stay. down him.

"Prince Gong, you cannot be presumptuous in front of our ancestors!" The emperor severely reprimanded him.

Prince Gong curled his lips and shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, everything is up to the emperor. Eunuch Li will come and check on me first. After the inspection, I can go back and rest."

Then Eunuch Li glanced at the emperor, and after seeing the emperor nodded slightly, he walked towards Prince Gong: "I offended you, Prince Gong."

Eunuch Li bent down, lifted Prince Gong's robe, touched his knee, then looked at the emperor and shook his head.

Seeing this, the emperor waved to him: "Okay, you go down quickly, don't stay here, it makes me upset."

These words were in line with Prince Gong's intentions, he bowed to the emperor and left here.

"Eunuch Li, hurry up and bring someone to search for me, don't miss any of them."

In fact, another reason why the emperor is angry today is that he can bear this kind of suffering even for the emperor, but it is really unbearable for other people to tamper with this kind of thing.

Due to the difference between men and women, all the people present were relatives of the emperor, so Eunuch Li went out to find some eunuchs and maidservants to search separately.

The group of eunuchs and court ladies started to check the people in the hall respectively, and after checking the inside of the hall, they did not find any knee pads.Then he started to check the people outside the hall.

When Zhao Min was about to be inspected, the smile on Concubine Xian's face deepened, seeing the fear in Zhao Min's eyes and slightly trembling body, the sense of revenge in her heart reached its peak.

"excuse me."

A court lady walked up to Zhao Min, squatted down, touched her knee, then shook her head with Eunuch Li, and went to check on the next person.

Concubine Xian looked at Zhao Min who was skipped in this way, her eyes were full of disbelief, and she blurted out: "Impossible!"

The place was already very quiet, but because of Concubine Xian's sudden voice, everyone's eyes turned to her.

Concubine Xian coughed twice, walked in front of the emperor, blessed her body like a blessing: "Reporting to the emperor, to be honest, someone reported to the concubine before that Princess Ling was wearing knee pads privately, and just now I saw that the maid was not on her body. When the knee pads were found, the concubine lost her composure for a moment."

"Oh?" The emperor looked at the concubine Xian in front of him with great interest. Ever since he sent Gu Lingqing to attack Gu Qi, the emperor was angry and never saw her again.

"The news about Aifei is really well-informed." The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was already a bit of chill in his tone.

But Concubine Xian didn't know why, whether she was dazzled by hatred, or what, she didn't hear it, and continued to talk: "The concubine also knew it by accident. If there is such a thing, the emperor It must not be forgiven, this is a great disrespect to the ancestors!"
