Chapter 437 Reversal (Three More)
It happened that there was no early court today, so the news of the emperor's assassination was only spread in the palace for the time being. In less than an hour, basically the entire palace was alarmed, and there were guards searching everywhere.
Shen Yijia carefully avoided those people and tried her best to follow the trail. Although she didn't know where Song Jingchen was, she would never be in a crowded place.
However, as the saying goes, the more you fear, the more you will come.
When she walked out of a path in a rockery, she saw a few people surrounded by a water pavilion not far away.
She absolutely does not admit that it is the reason why she does not recognize the way!
"Princess, wait a second, the slaves will call someone here."
"Then don't hurry up."
...
This voice... not that what Princess Linghui is?
Shen Yijia frowned, and as expected, she was unlucky enough to spit out her teeth.
She felt that it was the most appropriate way to describe herself now.
She had heard many difficult deeds of Princess Linghui, and she had seen it before, so she didn't want to meet her, and turned around silently to prepare to return on the way.
As usual, she would naturally not be afraid of her, but today is different, not to mention whether Princess Linghui will recognize her or not, there will be more troubles, and she has no time to argue with her.
However, some things are not something she can avoid if she wants to.
"stop."
A savage shout sounded, and Shen Yijia just pretended that she was not telling herself to go on.
Then I heard another arrogant voice from behind: "The one in pink, which palace maid are you, the princess told you to stop, didn't you hear it? It's so unruly."
Shen Yijia looked down at the dress on her body. When she was pretending to be Xuanyuan Ce's guard, her hair was all tied up. After taking off the guard dress, she felt that it was a little weird and easy to attract attention, so she learned from the palace maid she saw. It looks like a group of two small tweets...
The other party was about to name him by name, so Shen Yijia had to turn around and bury his head low at the same time.
Princess Linghui glanced at her suspiciously: "Come here."
Shen Yijia squeezed her fists and walked over obediently.
If the other party wants to kill her, she can't stop her.
Her head never lifted, Princess Linghui glanced at Shen Yijia's messy bun, thinking she was a palace maid who had just entered the palace and had not learned the rules.
This kind of mistake is naturally punished by a special mama, so she will not condescend to take care of these trivial matters, Princess Linghui turned her head away and instructed: "Bengong's handkerchief fell into the water, you go down and bring it back to this palace. "
Shen Yijia turned her head slightly, and a pink jinpa floated in the middle of the pool. She rolled her eyes: "Where is the handkerchief? I didn't see it."
Princess Linghui preconceived that the person in front of her was a little maid who had never seen anything in the world. She didn't think that the other party dared to play tricks on her.
Shen Yijia turned around in the direction she pointed, looked left and right, and continued to talk nonsense with her eyes open: "Where?
"It's there!" Princess Linghui got angry, she walked up to Shen Yijia, leaned on the railing and pointed at the handkerchief not far away: "Isn't that the handkerchief? You are blind... ah..."
Accompanying her last broken scream was the sound of "pop" falling into the water.
The palace maid next to Princess Linghui was dumbfounded by this sudden change. When she came to her senses and wanted to see the culprit, there was no shadow of that person.
"Help~Help~"
Princess Linghui's cry for help sounded, and the maids screamed: "The princess has fallen into the water, hurry up, hurry up and save the princess~"
"The slaves don't know how to water, who will go down and save the princess."
"The slaves will not..."
"Call someone, hurry up and call someone~"
Palace maid, you push me, I push you, the reason why you just stopped a little palace maid passing by is because none of the people present can understand water.
The palace maids on the water pavilion were completely in a mess. It was already October, and the weather was getting colder day by day, and it was conceivable how cold the lake was.
In addition, Princess Linghui doesn't know water, so she can only struggle in the water.
Fortunately, the little girl who went to find someone to get the veil came back with someone, but now it's not the veil, but Princess Linghui herself.
Princess Linghui drank a lot of water, and her whole body trembled when she was rescued, she gritted her teeth and said viciously: "Go... go... take... that... little bitch... back, Ben Gong, Ben Gong... it would be better for her to live than to die..."
After saying a sentence intermittently, Princess Linghui couldn't hold back and fainted.
The scene was chaotic again. Some people called to find the culprit, some people called to send the princess back to the palace, and some people called to find the imperial doctor...
In the end, it was Princess Linghui's personal maid who came over to stabilize the crowd.
Naturally, he didn't forget to let people catch the thief who harmed Princess Linghui so far.
The thief Shen Yijia knew that Princess Linghui would not die. After all, there were so many people present, and she guessed that the other party would send someone to arrest her as soon as possible, so after leaving the waterside, she decisively arrested a guard who was walking at the back of the Imperial Guard. People dragged into the woods, and so on.
After he came out, he was a good man again.
She trotted to catch up with the team, but the dear brother who was walking in front of him did not turn his head, and reminded in a low voice: "Going to release water again? You have run so many times this day, your health is not good, but you still have to be careful, be careful of Captain Xiaolin. Use this to stab you."
Shen Yijia's mouth twitched and she didn't speak.
However, the man in front is obviously a chatter who can stand loneliness, or maybe the unfortunate person who was knocked out by Shen Yijia doesn't speak much, anyway, she didn't talk to the person in front and didn't find anything wrong, and continued to complain in a low voice: "You Why is this old prince so incapable of thinking? He still wants to assassinate His Majesty at such a young age. Does he still think he will not be able to ascend to the throne? I don’t even see if he has that ability. Said, it also made us nervous here."
Shen Yijia: Why don't you think that people might be wronged?
"But I heard people say that the old man was taken advantage of, and the one who really hurt His Majesty was Uncle Zhongyi who brought him into the palace." This chatter seemed to have a disease that would kill him if he didn't speak, and stared straight ahead without looking sideways. , the mouth did not stop: "You may not know when you first entered the palace, this Zhongyi Bo is the Song Shizi of the former Fuguo Gongfu."
Shen Yijia, who was a little annoyed at first, squinted her eyes: Very good, continue talking.
The chatter didn't disappoint her, she shook her head and continued: "Actually, I also feel that the old prince has enjoyed glory and wealth all his life, and there is absolutely no reason for him to assassinate His Majesty, but Uncle Loyalty is different. His death, the crippling disability, how tragic, he must have hated His Majesty, and I said His Majesty was too kind..."
Shen Yijia's eyes turned cold, she lowered her head and saw something, her eyes rolled, her toes kicked hard, and a pebble rushed towards the lower third road of talkative chatter at a forty-five-degree angle.
"Ah!" The chatter screamed, covering his crotch and knelt down straight, causing his entire body to arch up in pain.
"Assassin, there are assassins~" The unknown person immediately shouted and surrounded him when he heard the pain.
Shen Yijia also took advantage of the situation to join them and waited solemnly.
But let alone people around, not even a single bird.
The guard who was walking at the front came over with a cold face.
Shen Yijia guessed that this should be the Captain Xiaolin in the mouth of the chatter.
It looks a little familiar, what's the matter?
"What's the matter?" Captain Xiaolin asked with a frown.
The chatter's face was contorted in pain, and he cried and said: "Subordinate... subordinates don't know, something suddenly attacked the subordinate's little brother."
His appearance caused everyone to burst into laughter, and Shen Yijia twitched the corners of his mouth in order not to appear too maverick, but it was just a sneer.
Make you so stupid that you can't speak.
Captain Xiaolin glanced around the crowd displeased, squatted down beside the chatter for a while, and quickly locked on the "weapon".
He picked up the stone, and now there will be dew in the morning in this weather. The upward side of the stone is dried by the wind, but the downward side will not...
Shen Yijia froze when she saw that he had found the original position of the stone based on the wet marks on the surface of the stone.
That position is just behind the chatter...
"Who is standing behind him just now?" Captain Xiaolin asked coldly.
Everyone tacitly took a step back.
Then Shen Yijia was isolated.
Shen Yijia: …
Captain Xiaolin turned his gaze coldly, and when he saw her appearance clearly, his eyes froze.
Shen Yijia originally hoped that the unlucky guy who was knocked out by her was new, and everyone had no impression of him, but looking at the captain's expression...
Her heart sank and she clenched her fist secretly.
Captain Xiaolin stood up and stared straight at Shen Yijia, as if to stare someone out of a hole.
"Look, isn't that Uncle Zhongyi?"
At this time, someone shouted.
Shen Yijia was startled and followed everyone's line of sight. Not far away, who else was strolling in their direction in the leisurely courtyard?
Captain Xiaolin retracted his gaze from Shen Yijia's face, stood up and looked at Song Jingchen as well.
After a while, Song Jingchen had already come to him, and beside him was a young boy in brocade clothes and Chinese attire, who looked not as old as Brother Hao'er.
"What's the matter?" Song Jingchen glanced at Shen Yijia calmly when he asked this, with a hint of worry hidden in his eyes, but his face was always indifferent, as if he didn't even know what was going on in the palace, and he didn't know either. Everyone is looking for him.
Captain Xiaolin stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Brother Zhongyi came just in time, please come with me."
"Me?" Song Jingchen frowned, looked at the guards who surrounded him in an instant, and asked with a frown, "What happened in the palace?"
Captain Xiaolin looked at him as if he really didn't know about it. He pursed his lips and said, "The old prince assassinated His Majesty. As for the rest, he will naturally know when Uncle Zhongyi sees His Royal Highness King Jing."
"Ah?" The little boy exclaimed: "How could the uncle of the emperor assassinate the emperor, is he all right?"
This young man is the youngest sixth prince among the princes, and Fang is eight years old this year.
Song Jingchen's question can be left unanswered, but the sixth prince can't. Captain Xiao Lin respectfully said: "Reporting to the sixth prince, His Majesty is still in a coma. As for why the old prince assassinated His Majesty..."
He glanced at Song Jingchen, and quickly lowered his head again: "I don't know, it was His Royal Highness King Jing who arrived in time to let the old man succeed."
"I'm going to see the emperor." The sixth prince said anxiously, and after walking two steps, seeing that no one moved, he frowned: "Aren't you going to take Big Brother Song to see the Big Brother, the Big Brother should be here now? Where is the royal father? Let's go together."
Captain Xiao Lin thought about it, King Jing should be still in the Hall of Mental Cultivation at this time, and he didn't say what to do after finding Song Jingchen, so he nodded.
Thinking of something, he glanced at the guard on the ground who was still in pain, and looked at Shen Yijia with a heavy gaze: "Send him back first."
After instructing him, he stretched out his hand to Song Jingchen as a petition: "Uncle Zhongyi, please."
Shen Yijia was worried that Song Jingchen didn't want to leave, but the latter seemed to see what she was thinking and shook her head slightly.
She also knew that she would definitely be recognized by others in the past.
Thinking of what she found in Song Jingchen's study, Shen Yijia took a few steps forward, picked up the chatter on the ground, and pushed hard in Song Jingchen's direction.
Confused.
Others looked at it but thought it was Shen Yijia's lack of stability, after all, the difference in body shape between the two was there.
Song Jingchen's eyes moved slightly, and he stepped forward to help him.
"Uncle Zhongyi forgives his sins, his subordinates didn't do it on purpose." Shen Yijia pressed her voice to apologize, and the two surrounded the chatter in the middle. Using his body to cover, Shen Yijia shoved the things in her arms into Song Jingchen's sleeves.
Noticing the bright yellow color, Song Jingchen revealed a faint smile in his eyes, and said gently, "It's okay, be careful."
Shen Yijia blinked: "Yes."
After she finished speaking, she grabbed the chatter's arm and dragged him away without looking back.
She walked too fast, and the chatter could only keep up with her legs hunched over, not to mention how funny she looked.
"Brother, you...you slow down." For some reason, the chatter was a little terrified of the boy in front of him.
Because today was an emergency, many of the guards who had just been called in were temporarily dispatched to search, and with so many people, if it wasn't for the original staff, everyone wouldn't necessarily remember what it looked like.
Shen Yijia didn't forget what this person said just now, didn't it mean that the dog emperor was too merciful when he only abolished the legs of the beautiful husband and didn't kill the Song family?
Since this person likes cruelty so much, of course she can't let him down, no.
Shen Yijia doesn't like to hold revenge, she usually retaliates on the spot when she has revenge, she hooked her lips coldly: "Okay~"
"Two guards, wait a minute."
Just as Shen Yijia's hand tightened, a shrill voice came from behind, and she silently loosened her fist.
Dialogue: I don't know why there is an illusion of life after the catastrophe.
A dozen or so eunuchs came over, and the eunuch at the head asked, "Dare to ask the two eldest brothers along the way, you can see a little palace maid with a little messy hair, probably this tall."
He compared the height at the bridge of his nose.
Shen Yijia bent her legs: I haven't seen it before.
After waiting for a while to see his companions, he said, "I haven't seen it."
Those palace maids and eunuchs knew how far the Guards had been hiding after the search, so how dare they approached them.
The eunuch looked at the two of them strangely, and his eyes especially stayed on the place where the chatter was caught for a long time: "I wonder if the two big brothers are...?"
The chatter immediately looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and said angrily, "Our Praetorian Guards still have to report to you when we do things, saying, are you an accomplice of the old prince and deliberately came to find out the news."
This kind of eunuch seems to have no status, but it is most vengeful. The relationship between godfather and godson is intricate, not to mention, lucky to be able to serve in front of the master. of.
The eunuch choked and smiled shyly: "The servant just needs to be concerned. Princess Linghui was pushed into the pond by the thief, and she is still waiting for the servant to take the thief back, so don't disturb the two eldest brothers."
The implication is that they are here to act on behalf of the Linghui Lord, not some assassin accomplices.
The chattering arrogant snorted and said nothing.
The eunuch smiled and paused when he passed by Shen Yijia, comparing her height.
Are the requirements of the palace guards so low now?
"You guys go over there, and the rest follow me." There were two trails ahead, and the eunuch instructed to take people along one of them.
Abandoned the road directly.
Does this mean she's hiding? Thinking of the unfortunate person hanging on the rockery by herself, Shen Yijia rolled her eyes at the chatter beside her, and took him to a path that the eunuch came from.
"Brother, it's not here to go back to the barracks." He thought that Shen Yijia's new arrival didn't know the way.
Shen Yijia: "Oh."
Dragging him directly into the crevice of the rockery.
"Isn't it, brother, are you going to release water again? Your health is too bad. Seeing as you haven't married a wife at your age, I can tell you that." , The chatter started talking again: "You are lucky to meet me. I just have a recipe in my hand. How about we charge you 10 taels of silver when we are brothers?"
What responded to him was Shen Yijia's iron fist.
"Ah..." The chatter was stunned: "What are you doing? You can't do it with water so many times a day. I'm not wrong... uh~"
His mouth was covered.
Shen Yijia started a new round of boxing.
...
After a cup of tea, Shen Yijia knocked the person unconscious with a knife.
She clapped her hands and threw the person away, raised her head~
Hey, what about the unlucky one?
Just thinking about it, You Yi dropped a person from the sky.
Shen Yijia: …
Youyi originally wanted to listen to Shen Yijia's words and put on her clothes and return to Xuanyuance, but both of them ignored a very important matter.
Shen Yijia's figure...
The clothes were originally changed according to Shen Yijia's height and body shape, and even if he was short or long, he couldn't wear them.
So he could only come to Shen Yijia. He kept watching her knock out a guard, stripped naked, changed clothes and went out. He didn't follow.
Shen Yijia saw that he took his clothes and gestured twice on his body and then understood, and silently took them and put them on by himself, and returned the unlucky clothes by the way.
As soon as he walked out of the rockery, he met Xuanyuance and his party.
"Where have you been, for so long?" Xuanyuan Ce asked pretending to be unhappy.
Shen Yijia suppressed her voice: "My subordinate is lost."
Shangguan Yu chuckled: "I just forgot to ask someone to lead the way, because I didn't think about it carefully."
Xuanyuance didn't answer this, he just said, "The jade pendant has been found."
Shen Yijia was stunned for a moment: Isn't she looking for Yupei to create opportunities for her? Really lost?
"It's fine if you don't find it." Xuanyuan Ce waved his hand. Anyway, the jade pendant was torn off from Chu Feng.
Chu Feng: Anyway, it was rewarded by the prince.
Shangguan Yu proposed to go to Taiye Pool for a walk, and Shen Yijia mouthed the word "Jing" in a place he couldn't see.
Xuanyuan Ce frowned: "Forget it, I'm tired from walking today, this king will go back and say hello to King Jing before leaving the palace."
Obviously Shangguanyu is also a prince, but he still wants to keep up with Shangguanpu to resign, which makes people feel that Shangguanpu is a prince who is more important in his heart.
If it were a different person, I would be unhappy, but Shangguan Yu didn't, he still had a gentle smile on his face, nodded and said, "Alright."
"It's good that the minister brought the old prince into the palace, but there is a reason for this, and the minister did not know that he would be detrimental to your majesty."
As soon as the few people entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, they heard Song Jingchen's calm voice.
Before the surrounding Guards had dispersed, Xuanyuan Ce sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard of the Hall of Mental Cultivation very considerately, saying that he would go in after the treatment was finished.
Shangguan Yu smiled and sat down with him.
Shangguanpu sneered: "There is a reason for this good thing. Are you saying that the old prince's assassination of His Majesty has nothing to do with you?"
"Yes, if the minister knew that he would have such evil intentions, the minister would certainly not let him enter the imperial study alone."
It turned out that after Song Jingchen entered the palace, he saw a lot of smoke rising from the direction of Mingxiangju, and he realized that it was wrong. When he arrived at the door of the imperial study, he excused himself to change clothes and did not go in with the old prince.
The old prince took a bite, and he re-analyzed the pros and cons with him.
For example, as long as the old prince didn't mention the affair with the concubine back then, no one dared to mention it, and the matter of Mingxiangju was also used. He just wanted to earn more money to buy medicine for the old princess.
Finally, he said that if he was an outsider in the emperor, he would definitely not be able to bend the law for personal gain.
The old prince also thought about it. He might have to play emotional cards with snot and tears in front of a younger generation to plead for himself. For such a shameful thing, I wish Song Jingchen was not there.
So a man entered the imperial study with a majestic arrogance.
As Song Jingchen was worried, it didn't take long for the news of the old prince to assassinate the emperor.
At first, he also guessed like Shen Yijia that it was the emperor's self-directed and self-acted performance or that King Jing did it.
After confirming that King Jing planned it, he guessed that he would definitely involve himself in this matter. The reason why he didn't appear in time was just to see how many forces in the palace belonged to King Jing.
The result did not disappoint him, at least the commander of the Imperial Guard was innocent, and the entire harem was probably under Liu Guifei's control.
To find out what he wanted to know, he originally wanted to sneak into the place where the old prince was imprisoned to ask what happened in the imperial study, but he didn't want to accidentally see someone trying to push the sixth prince into the water...
The person who shot even wore the same official uniform as him. Is this another trick to see that he didn't enter the imperial study?
Although such a clumsy frame is full of flaws, it is easy to use.
Song Jingchen naturally wouldn't let the other party succeed, so he saved the sixth prince.
Then I saw Shen Yijia "hitting the egg with a stone", and then he appeared directly with the sixth prince to attract everyone's attention...
"Really? But this king only knows that you brought the old prince into the palace. As for what you said, it was just one-sided words by you. Who knows if you are trying to distance yourself from this matter?"
"Come here, escort Uncle Zhongyi to the prison of the Punishment Department."
Shen Yijia's heart skipped a beat, and her whole body tensed when she saw the guards who entered.
"Hold on." Song Jingchen's voice sounded.
Shangguanpu: "What else do you want to say?"
"Don't you ask the minister why he brought the old prince into the palace?"
Shangguanpu sneered: "These officials from the Ministry of Punishment will naturally investigate."
Song Jingchen shook his head and said to himself, "The reason why I brought the old prince into the palace is because His Majesty asked me to investigate a case before.
Now that the case has been found out, the old prince is the key person in this case, so the minister will bring him into the palace.
Therefore, the lord said that it was absolutely impossible for me and the old lord to conspire to assassinate His Majesty. "
"Hmph, investigating the case? Not only has this king never heard of it, but even the ministers of the whole dynasty don't know about it." Shangguanpu snorted coldly: "This king sees that you just see that my father is in a coma, and it is fabricated out of thin air..."
The emperor had his eyeliner by his side. As far as he knew, the emperor had only verbally instructed Song Jingchen, but never issued a secret decree.
However, as soon as he thought about it, he heard the kneeling human saying: "I have evidence to prove that everything I said is true."
Noticing his stunned expression, Song Jingchen's lips curled into a mocking arc, and he took out a roll of bright yellow imperial decree from his arms...
————
Guess who Captain Kobayashi is, old friend.
The debt is finally paid off, and it will be added from time to time in the future.
