247 Lost
Seeing this, Wang Kangyin shouted nervously: "The chief assistant is injured!"
Several other officials also went to see the wound on Xiao Shoufu's neck and said in a lingering manner: "Fortunately, the wound is not deep, it should be just a skin trauma."
"Shoufu Xiao, how do you feel?"
"Did you hit your head..."
“…”
The chaotic sounds around him seemed to be close and far into Xiao Shoufu's ears, and Xiao Shoufu in the chaos grabbed the keywords.
So, isn't he seriously injured?
Shoufu Xiao raised his hand and covered his wound in a panic. The tentacles were warm and sticky blood, but he could feel that there was not much bleeding from the wound.
So, his life is saved?!
Soon, Shoufu Xiao climbed up from the ground with the help of two officials. His official hat fell, revealing his gray hair and a slightly messy bun, and several strands of hair appeared along the bun.
Xiao Shoufu, who has always been well-dressed and meticulously, has stood in the court for nearly twenty years, and this is the first time he has been so embarrassed.
Not only was the wound on my neck, but the bones on my body also hurt. I fell a lot just now.
At this time, Shoufu Xiao didn't care about the pain in his body, and he barely stood up, pointed his hand tremblingly at the little eunuch in blue who had just knocked him down, and said in a trembling voice: "You...you..."
He stared at the other party fiercely, with fear of escaping from death in his eyes.
"Mr. Xiao, what's wrong with you?" Chu Yi's gentle voice sounded again.
The voice like spring breeze made Shoufu Xiao get goosebumps all over. Shoufu Xiao's eyes wandered, and he looked at Chu Yi again, and looked at the little eunuch, pointing his hand at the little eunuch, accusing: "He wants to kill me, the eldest prince..."
In a frightened state, Shoufu Xiao even forgot to call himself a "subject" and just wanted to accuse the emperor of the eldest prince of the emperor of the silence.
The emperor did not say a word, and grabbed the corn and fed the frightened parrot, which buried his head and started eating.
"No, no, how could I kill the chief assistant?" The eunuch waved his hands repeatedly and explained hurriedly, "I saw that the potted plant was shaking from the flower table and was about to fall. I was afraid that it would hurt the chief assistant, so I rushed over and wanted to protect the chief assistant..."
"It was a slave who was abrupt, which scared the Prime Minister." The little eunuch explained tremblingly, and it sounded reasonable and well-founded.
Everyone couldn't help but look at the potted plants that had fallen four or five miles on the ground. A bunch of green bamboos was broken in the waist, and some soil and fragments of the flower pot were stuck on Xiao Shoufu's robe.
Xiao Shoufu's pale face was still a little shocked, and some blood overflowed from the wound between his neck, shocking, as if he was scratched by the splashed flower pot fragments.
Everyone frowned and thought about it carefully. In fact, most people couldn't remember whether the potted plants were shaking.
However, judging from the current situation, the eunuch should not have lie, it is the truth.
Who would assassinate the premier in front of the emperor? Isn’t this crazy?!
If you really want to assassinate Xiao, this eunuch can wait until Xiao Xiao gets the order before assassinating it. This is in line with common sense.
Everyone whispered and whispered.
Soon, a young censor took two steps forward and said to Shougong Xiao tactfully: "Mr. Xiao, are you scared and misread?"
He said this politely, and the disapproving look on his face seemed to be saying that this was just a trivial matter. Shoufu Xiao was really fussing and criticizing him randomly.
The emperor's dignified chief minister lost his etiquette, which was thanks to the emperor's good temperament.
Several Qingliu Censors around him also nodded, and exchanged their eyes with resentment.
Alas, this is how people from these aristocratic families are. They are too expensive. They just fall and get a little dust on their bodies, as if they have killed their lives.
Shoufu Xiao's face turned blue, his chin was flying, and his throat was full of blood. He couldn't help but raise the volume and defended: "It was this eunuch who stabbed me with a dagger."
"Who saw it?" the young censor asked lightly.
The others looked at each other, and just now they only saw the little eunuch suddenly knocking Master Xiao down, and at the same time, the potted plant fell a few flowers, that's all.
Many people looked at the anxious eunuch again, and saw that he had empty hands, no dagger as Xiao Shoufu said, and there was also a little mud on his robe, making him look a little embarrassed.
Chu Yi said quietly: "Mr. Xiao, it is really inappropriate to just say that people are assassinating without any evidence!"
"Don't wrongly accuse innocent people."
Several people showed strange expressions, thinking that the eldest prince seemed familiar. Where did they hear this?
"Your Highness," Xiao Shoufu said sternly, trembling with anger, and raised his hand to point at the bloody wound on his neck. "This wound was scratched by a dagger, this is the credential."
"Will the minister, the chief minister, deliberately scratch himself in order to frame a mere official?" Xiao's anger grew, and the arrogant look could not be concealed on his indignant face.
Chu Yi did not answer Xiao Shoufu, and his gaze, which was as calm as the pond, turned to Feng She and Feng Sanye, and asked, "What do Lord Feng think?"
"..." The Feng She and his brothers suddenly felt bad and looked at each other, not knowing how to answer this question.
Just before a cup of tea, they kept questioning that it was the eldest prince's injury that he deliberately self-harm and framed Feng He.
Shoufu Xiao was also a smart person, so he quickly figured it out, his face changed, his heart suddenly sank, and his eyes were gloomy.
Just now, he was frightened and excited, and was so excited that he was a little overwhelmed. Only now did he gradually come back to his taste.
It turned out that the eldest prince was waiting for them here.
Chu Yi sighed slightly, and asked the young eunuch in a gentle tone and said, "What's your name?"
"My name is Jiang Lun." The young eunuch in green replied quickly, lowered his head and apologized respectfully, "I would like to ask your highness to forgive my slave for losing his etiquette in front of me."
Chu Yi smiled and praised, flapping his sleeves gently, his movements were indescribable, "There are priority for matters. All the adults are the pillars of the court, so they must put their safety first."
"In the future, you should also look at the directions like today and listen to the directions. Don't hesitate when it's time to take action."
These words were heard by the Qingliu Censors present, and they felt that the eldest prince had the best style and was gentle and tolerant. He would be a benevolent king in the future. Several people looked at Chu Yi with admiration.
But in Xiao Shoufu's ears, every word and sentence are threatening.
Especially the last sentence "Don't hesitate when it's time to take action", which made Shoufu Xiao feel that the blade was gripped in his words, which was meaningful. Does the eldest prince think that Jiang Lun's knife just now was not ruthless enough?!
"Mr. Xiao," Chu Yi smiled and looked at Shoufu Xiao with a shallow smile, and greeted him with concern, "Is the injury on your neck hindered? Do you need Doctor Xuan?" He looked like he caring for his subordinates.
"I just suffered some skin injuries, it's okay." Shou Guardian Xiao hurriedly said.
How dare he use the imperial physician from Chu Yixuan? What if the imperial physician poisoned the medicine?
To put it bluntly, when he returned home, he died of poisoning, and there is no evidence that he was murdered by the eldest prince.
Shoufu Xiao instantly felt a chill like a guillotine on his head, and his limbs were cold and numb.
"Help! Help!" After pecking the corn, the parrot screamed on the gilded bird stand, with a shrill sound.
Shoufu Xiao's heartbeat accelerated, his face turned pale, and his whole heart was restless.
Chu Yi raised his hand and gently hooked the parrot's chin twice. The parrot was easy to coax and rubbed it intimately between his fingers.
Chu Yi said with a sympathetic look: "Mr. Xiao is too tired, so he will startle the army."
"Speaking of this, Lord Xiao has not had a good rest for so many years." As he said that, Chu Yi looked at the emperor opposite the chessboard again and pleaded with mercy, "Father, why not give Lord Xiao a long vacation and have a good rest for some time to maintain his health."
"That's right." The emperor responded without saying a word, his eyes filled with smiles.
The parrot happily learned to speak: "The grass and trees are alarming! That's right!"
These seven words seem extremely ironic.
Mrs. Gu and Gu Jian next to him were almost shocked to see this scene.
Since Shoufu Xiao was knocked to the ground just now, the mother and son didn't react and could only stare blankly.
Seeing that Xiao Shoufu was forced to leave the court for a few words by the emperor and his son, both the mother and son were incredible, almost doubting whether they were hallucinating the hearing, and looked at Xiao Shoufu with complicated eyes.
Shoufu Xiao's face turned ugly again, and he quickly defended himself to the emperor: "Emperor, I am in good health and I am not sick..."
"Mr. Xiao, don't hold on." A flat male voice suddenly interrupted Shoufu Xiao.
Everyone couldn't help but hear the sound and saw that it was a middle-aged man of forty-five or six years old, wearing a crimson embroidered pheasant patch. He was of medium size, neither fat nor thin, with an ordinary appearance, and a smiley pattern on the corner of his mouth.
It was Mu Sheng, the second assistant to the cabinet and the Minister of Works.
Mu Sheng took a few steps forward and walked to Xiao Shoufu with a calm manner, forming a sharp contrast with Xiao Shoufu who was not dressed in a well-dressed manner.
Mu Sheng said sincerely: "In the past ten years, Lord Xiao has worked diligently for the court, and he has also made you suffer. Listen to the advice of the next official, this person can only have a future if he is healthy."
He acted very sincerely, but the others around him had strange expressions.
Mu Sheng was the top scholar appointed by the late emperor. He was born in the imperial examination and was completely different from those families who entered the dynasty with the ninth rank Zhongzheng system. He took steady steps and achieved his current status.
Everyone knows that Mu Sheng is ambitious and has long wanted to take Xiao Shufu and replace him, but he has no chance.
It can be imagined that if the Chief Xiao stays out of the court, then Mu Sheng, as the secondary assistant, can naturally take up the position of Chief Xiao.
Shoufu Xiao stared at Mu Sheng fiercely, his eyes twitched, and he scolded Mu Sheng, who was taking advantage of the situation.
He was so alert in his heart that a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart. He said with a slight smile: "Thank you for your care for me, I am healthy and uneasy."
"I just didn't sleep well last night, and I accidentally misread it just now."
The last sentence was scented by him.
Before Mu Sheng could speak again, Shoufu Xiao thanked Chu Yi again and said, "Thank you for your care."
