Chapter 560 Brave! (One more)
After Princess Ning'an got out of the yard, Xiao Heng would not see the window with a small slit completely opened without looking closely.
He looked at her disappearing at the gate of the palace, and whispered, ”Thank you auntie.”
Princess Ning'an did not go back to Bixia Hall immediately after leaving the Renshou Palace, but went to the Imperial Study Room.
”Ning'an is here, come and sit.” The emperor put down the memorial in his hand, rested for many days, and piled up a lot of official business, plus the murder case of rewarding Ning'an and Xianleju, made him really a little embarrassed.
Princess Ning'an came to the emperor.
Duke Wei brought a small stool and placed it beside the emperor.
Ning An sat down gracefully and looked at the emperor gently: ”Did I disturb the emperor brother?”
The emperor smiled: ”No, sit down. I said that you can come whenever you want. You will never disturb me.”
Princess Ning'an recalled: ”I remember that when I was young, the emperor used to say the same thing. The emperor was a prince and his schoolwork was heavy. Every time I went to see the emperor, the emperor was doing learning.”
The emperor said with emotion: ”I am not favored by my father, and I don't try to impress my father in learning. I am afraid that my father will forget to have my son.”
Princess Ning'an turned her head to look at him, her eyes full of admiration: ”But the final stable emperor is still the emperor brother.”
”It's thanks to the mother queen.” The emperor felt a little bit more emotional when he mentioned the empress dowager Zhuang. ”You probably don't know what happened to me and the queen mother in these years.”
Although the emperor hated Concubine Jing, he really felt sorry for Ning An. He didn't tell Ning An one by one of the crimes Concubine Jing had instigated him and Queen Mother Zhuang, but he couldn't help telling it when she mentioned it suddenly.
”...I took medicine, separated from my mother's queen, and did too many things to be sorry for my mother's queen, and now I think about it, the queen personally helped me to the position of God, but I treated her like this, she must be very sad in her heart.”
Princess Ning'an whispered: ”Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, the emperor does not need to blame himself for the past.”
The emperor said ashamed: ”I have always blamed the queen for controlling the government, but if it weren't, I'm afraid this country would have fallen into the hands of Princess Jing and the remnants of the previous dynasty.”
Princess Ning'an lowered her head.
The emperor said earnestly: ”Ning An, that woman is not worthy of being your mother. You can only have a queen in your heart, and the queen is the one who really loves you and protects you.”
Princess Ning An smiled: ”Ning An knows that Ning An will honor her mother, and Ning An will honor the emperor's brother.”
The emperor smiled comfortedly.
Princess Ning'an moved her eyes, and said, ”By the way, the emperor, I just saw Master Xiao in the harem.”
The emperor thought for a while: ”Rokuro?”
There are not many foreigners who can enter the Queen Mother's dowager in Zhuang, only Xiao Liulang is the only one with the surname Xiao.
Princess Ning An nodded: ”Yes, the queen called him Liu Lang. Master Xiao seems to have come for the criminal ministry's case too. I didn't hear what I said specifically.”
The emperor remembered something, and said with a loud voice: ”There is indeed such a thing. He just came to the Imperial Study Room and said that the suspect in Xianleju was awake.”
”Are you really awake?” Princess Ning An asked.
”Huh?” The emperor looked at Princess Ning'an weirdly.
”This matter is related to the reputation of the royal family. I am especially concerned about it. I am going to overstep it, right?”
The emperor smiled: ”How come?”
”That's good.” Ning An smiled relievedly, ”I read that it was written on the file that she had a drug called Seven Days Drunk, and it was said that she would be in a coma for seven days.”
Mentioning this, the emperor smiled: ”There is a little genius doctor, these are not difficult.”
Princess Ning'an looked at the memorial on the table, and asked in a relaxed tone: ”Did she recruit?”
The emperor said: ”Still interrogating.”
Princess Ning'an took the veil and gently touched the tip of her nose: ”Brother Huang, do you want people to see?”
The emperor pondered for a moment: ”Also.”
He is the emperor who sent over this time.
He never exposed in front of Princess Jing, the emperor did not shy away from Princess Ning'an. Apart from Princess Ning'an's hardship in the frontier fortress, he added to his trust and love.
He returned very quickly, and Princess Ning'an was still in the Imperial Study Room.
He reported: “In response to your Majesty, the suspect named Hua Xiyao did wake up. Xing Shangshu personally interrogated her, but she refused to say anything, did not eat or drink, and seemed to be planning to die on a hunger strike.”
”Does Xianleju know that she is awake?”
The question is Princess Ning'an.
She seems to be particularly concerned about this case.
But thinking that she was also the emperor’s sister and one of the suspects behind the murderer in this case, her attention seemed reasonable.
If Princess Xinyang is here, I am afraid that she will pay more attention to the progress of the case than her.
With this in mind, He Gonggong replied respectfully to her question: ”I know, since the Xianleju case was full of ups and downs in the city, it is difficult to conceal every move of the Criminal Department. There are always people who want to inquire about the Criminal Department. Xianleju is no exception. There is also a maid in Xianleju who brought snacks to visit the suspect.”
Princess Ning'an asked: ”What's your name?”
Grandpa He looked at Princess Ning'an suspiciously, and the emperor’s face was not in the slightest. The emperor was so accustomed to Princess Ning'an that Grandpa He was not good at giving the princess face.
He just said: ”It seems to be called Ling'er? Or Ling'er? Probably such a name.”
Ling'er, Hua Xiyao's personal maid.
Princess Ning'an asked again: ”What did the two of them say?”
He Gongyi said: ”This minion is not clear. The maid begs to say a few words to Hua Xiyao alone, and Xing Shangshu agrees.”
...
There is a separate cell at the end of the Great Prison of the Penalty Department. It is not the same as an ordinary cell. It is more like a separate secret room. Not only does it add an iron door, but it is also guarded by two powerful corps.
Burning braziers hung on the walls on both sides of the corridor, and the blazing fire shining on the expressionless face of Ya Ya, a little more majestic and solemn for no reason.
The door of the cell was locked tightly, everything seemed very peaceful, but everyone didn't know that the suspect had already turned up in the cell.
Hua Xiyao was **** and sat on a chair, her hands and feet tied by ropes.
Xiao Heng did not lie.
Hua Xiyao did wake up, and the maid of Ling'er from Xianleju did indeed come.
gave Hua Xiyao a bowl of ”beheaded rice”.
