Yuan Cixian walked slowly with weak legs. He listened to him and turned around and said, "Mr. Lu, don't tell others about the fact that I was scared to death by a snake. They all say that a tiger father has no dog daughter. This will bring shame to my father."
Lu Shiqing fell into her half-position, and glanced at her after hearing this, but didn't say anything.
She turned her head in a boring manner. As soon as she took two steps, she heard a faint voice behind her: "Mr. Lu is not Brother Ling, and she will not always catch people's shortcomings."
Yuan Cixian understood in an instant that Lu Shiqing was talking about the fact that his brother was trying to scare him with a dog repeatedly.
She smiled embarrassedly: "It's true that Brother Ah did something wrong. I've told him a long time ago. Don't worry, with my Yuan Cixian here, no one dares to bully this Chang'an City again..."
When she said this, she looked back at Lu Shiqing. Before she finished speaking, she happened to meet the steps. Suddenly, she was empty and staggering. Fortunately, she stood firm.
Lu Shiqing knew what she couldn't finish and sighed: "You'd better take care of yourself first."
She curled her lips: "Then don't leave behind me, and don't remind me."
Lu Shiqing had just appeared as a little god, but he didn't pay attention to her feet. He looked at her and took a step faster after hearing this.
Yuan Cixian was happy when he was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, and when he was happy, he became energetic: "Don't underestimate me. I'm not brave enough, I'm just afraid of snakes. It's all because of the uneasy area in Yaozhou. Earlier, the royal palace had not yet been completed, and there were rioters everywhere in the city. I had to live in the wild with my father and mother for a while. I had no luck, and I stepped on the snake every now and then. Once, I even encountered a bed that had crawled into my bed!"
Lu Shiqing stumbled slightly and blurted out: "Male snake?"
She was stunned. What's the point of being a male or a female? He seemed to have misplaced the point.
She said, "It's great if I'm not scared to faint. How do you know it's a male or a female? What's wrong with a male snake?"
Lu Shiqing soon realized that he seemed to have overreacted, and said with a "Oh" and said, "I heard that male snakes are more likely to bite people."
"Is that?" She looked at him suspiciously, "As for this reason, that's just..."
Yuan Cixian stopped halfway through speaking and covered her stomach.
Still not to think about it. I fainted for a moment before, but it was not entirely because of the snake. Zheng Zhuo's sword technique was really terrifying. She could not bear it when she saw the snake's body being cut into two pieces, with its head and bones broken, and it was so dammed that she could not bear it.
She changed her sentence: "Mr. Lu, there is a reason why I am afraid of snakes. Are you afraid of dogs?"
I don’t know what scar this sentence reveals Lu Shiqing. It is rare that a person who is more kind than usual suddenly becomes gloomy and says, “There is no reason.”
Lu Shiqing was really sunny and sunny. After sunrise, the rain came, and he said that there was sunny but no sunny.
Yuan Cixian stopped asking questions. When he looked up, he saw that the Great Hall was approaching, but it was a very solemn scene, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
A group of civil and military officials were waiting outside the hall with awkward expressions. A circle of royal children were surrounded by the hall. Zheng Zhuo, whose waist was straight back, was kneeling among them. Emperor Huining stood in front of him with his index finger, and pointed him with his index finger, looking speechless.
Zheng Zhuo nodded slightly and said, "My son is known to be guilty, so let his father deal with it."
Emperor Huining seemed to be angry and looked angry and clapped his hands and said, "Tell me, where are your sins...what are your sins?"
"After my father's order, I took charge of the Jinwu Guard on behalf of my second brother, and was responsible for the inspection and guarding around the Wonji Temple today, but I made omissions and did not notice the red snake hidden in the grass. This is a crime. My father repeatedly told me that I would like to say that I should not kill animals on the Dao Dharma Assembly on the day, but my son failed and caused the snake to die. This is a crime."
"This is awesome, where does such a fierce poisonous snake come from?" Emperor Huining took a deep breath, raised his eyes and saw Yuan Cixian and Lu Shiqing standing in front of the hall gate, and waved to the two of them, "Come on. I heard from the guards that you were there at the time. Cixian, tell me, is there anything suspicious about this matter?"
Yuan Cixian said "oh" in her heart and understood the whole thing.
A few days ago, the second prince committed a crime. Emperor Huining stripped him of many powers and ordered Zheng Zhuo to temporarily take charge of Jinwu Guard. Zheng Zhuo was in power for the time of his life, which made people jealous and fearful, so he was plotted against him today.
The person who plotted against him was sure that he would be charged with two charges, but he didn't know that he was actually prepared for it, but he was just using the trick.
Zheng Zhuo knew Emperor Huining very well. He knew two things.
First, the saint did not believe in Buddhism much, and did not kill animals, but was just for the world to see. What he hated was not the death of a snake at the Ullambana Dharma Assembly, but for the people who saw it.
The Jinwu Guards around Zheng Zhuo did not really belong to him. After such a thing, they hurriedly reported it to the saint, hoping that everyone in the court would know it, but they did not know that their actions were truly against the emperor's taboo.
Second, with the saint's suspicious nature, he must think about everything and guess the conspiracy. Therefore, after the incident, Zheng Zhuo not only did not argue, but instead kept taking the blame on himself. In this way, he could undoubtedly win the saint's heartache and sympathy, and also demonstrate that he did not have the intention to compete for the position of crown prince.
At present, Emperor Huining just didn't want Zheng Zhuo to be so humble, wanting to seek justice for his son and capture the mastermind of the incident.
This trick was really powerful. Yuan Cixian only thought about the conspiracy and had never thought it through. She was really useless just now.
She and Zheng Zhuo were on the same boat. Since she understood this, she would naturally not expose anything in public. She said, "Your Majesty, Cixian was so scared by the red snake that she had not paid attention to elsewhere..." After she said that, she looked at Lu Shiqing, "Why don't you ask Mr. Lu."
As for the girl's house, Emperor Huining understood it, so he asked Lu Shiqing again and heard him answer: "Your Majesty, I have just gotten away from Your Highness and the County Lord, but I have not understood the truth. But the red snake is really fierce. If it is not eliminated, I am afraid that your highness and the County Lord will encounter an unexpected accident. I think that the so-called "urgent things to follow power" is a taboo, but how can it delay human life? Of course, Your Highness failed to investigate the crisis, which has caused Your Majesty, the royal family and the civil and military officials of the court to fall into a potential threat. This is really a dereliction of duty. Therefore, I think Your Majesty should punish Your Highness half and forgive half."
Although he still couldn't catch the real murderer, these words hit the nail on the head, piercing Emperor Huining's heart and giving him a moderate solution.
Yuan Cixian glanced at Lu Shiqing and felt that this person was not simple. Since the Uighur caravan, she has never tested his attitude towards the government, but she always saw that he was hiding without any leakage, including at the moment. He was always like a loyal minister who only thought about the saints. He resolved his embarrassment in a few words and used tactful methods to advise him not to investigate the case in public...
As for who is the crown prince in Lu Shiqing's mind, or whether he has a supporter, it is really hard to tell.
It is naturally not a big deal to continue like this. Emperor Huining nodded and said, "What Mr. Lu said is reasonable, so let's do it for the time being."
The Ullambana Dharma Assembly was completed in a hurry. Emperor Huining issued several orders in a row and made a retribution. After that, he returned to the palace on the grounds of fatigue and called Yuan Cixian and Lu Shiqing to accompany him.
Yuan Cixian knew that the old emperor could not let her, a witness, easily. When he arrived at Zichen Hall, he was given a seat. He heard him ask: "Cixian, I ask you, why did you happen to go to the Nansi Gate, and why did you suddenly find my Liulang?"
She had already planned this question, and she believed that if a saint wanted to express his condolences, Zheng Zhuo's ideas would definitely make the same speech as her.
She hesitated for a moment, took out a can of ointment from her sleeve, and said, "Your Majesty, Cixian gave this to Your Highness. During the ceremony in the dojo, I saw that Your Highness was burned by incense ash, so I borrowed the ointment to him once. At that time, I wanted to give it to Your Highness, but Your Highness refused. Because there were many people from all sides, I did not insist. Until the ceremony was completed, I thought, it would be better to send it to Your Highness."
"But I heard from the guards that you talked to Liulang and wanted to speak with one step. Since you were giving ointment, why should you hide?"
Yuan Cixian couldn't help but feel a little ridiculed. The old emperor had clearly investigated everything. Heheqi invited her to the Zichen Palace, but interrogated her like a prisoner. Obviously, he didn't trust her much.
She hesitated again when she heard this and glanced at Lu Shiqing opposite her: "Your Majesty, you have to ask Mr. Lu!"
Lu Shiqing glanced at her and basically said: What does it have to do with me?
She snorted lowly: "Cixian halfway realized that she was being followed by Mr. Lu, so how could she dare to give the ointment to Your Highness? My highness and I are just a cousin, but I can't guarantee that Mr. Lu will not be misunderstood, so she had to ask His Highness to talk to him, and then secretly stuff the ointment to him."
Lu Shiqing choked. What a mess? She didn't notice that he followed her at all!
No, when will he follow her?
Yuan Cixian continued, "I have given a portion of that ointment to Mr. Lu before. If he saw me giving the same thing to Your Highness, he would definitely be unhappy. Your Majesty, you are making trouble for me now."
This trick of disaster was really effective. Emperor Huining was speechless for a while. After a while, he looked at Lu Shiqing and asked, "Yes, I haven't asked Zishu yet. Tell me, why did you go to the Nansi Gate? Is it really as Cixian said, following her?"
Lu Shiqing did follow Yuan Cixian, but it was not for some reason for love. He was so anxious to find Zheng Zhuo when he saw her, afraid that she would guess something and break their strategy of using it.
But he couldn't tell the truth at the moment, so he had to smile deliberately and discomfortably: "Your Majesty, the word 'following' is probably not accurate enough. It was the county lord who was sneaking in the first place. I just want to check it out for your safety."
The more Lu Shiqing refused to admit this situation, the more he found a reason, the more he would lure Emperor Huining to think about his love and love.
After hearing this, the old emperor, who was in a very bad mood, couldn't help laughing. He looked at Lu Shiqing, then at Yuan Cixian, and said to the side of the Huan Shishi: "These two children, look at these two awkward children!" After that, he sighed and said, "It's done, you two will come back, let me consider this matter carefully."
*
Yuan Cixian and Lu Shiqing came out and arrived at the Danfeng Gate where he should part ways.
Seeing the guards standing far away from each other, she smiled and leaned into Lu Shiqing's ear: "Mr. Lu, do you have to thank me for your concealment in front of the saint just now? I know you are not because of the Nan Temple gate I went to. What purpose did you say?"
Lu Shiqing glanced at her coldly: "Mr. Lu is not the Nansi Gate who was going to send ointment. What are you, what are you doing?"
Yuan Cixian choked, then put on a look of "I'm so angry that I don't deserve my life" and said, "I just don't say anything, what do you do to me?"
Lu Shiqing sneered: "It just so happens that Lu doesn't want to say anything."
After he said that, he nodded to her to say goodbye and walked towards the carriage waiting not far away. After walking, he recalled Yuan Cixian's attitude just now, and suddenly felt that his teeth were itchy, so he untied the water capsule on his waist, raised his head and took a sip, but he was unable to swallow the saliva, and was called again by the people behind him.
He stopped and turned around, and saw countless strong expressions stacked on Yuan Cixian's face in an instant, like pity, like sympathy, or like heartbreak.
He stuttered slightly, forgot to swallow the water, and then heard her feel embarrassed and said, "Mr. Lu... I've drunk your water bag..."
Lu Shiqing's face changed, and he coughed suddenly, choking out half of his saliva.
