Chapter 82 If you don't commit suicide, you won't die
Concubine Yu's face was pale, and her hands were shaking in fear, which also showed that the three words "I don't know" she said were too unbelievable.
The emperor sneered in his heart, secretly glanced at his son who was pretending to be stupid on the ground, and said tenderly: "Don't worry, my beloved concubine, I certainly understand you."
Concubine Yu blinked, and the emperor touched her hair and murmured: "I want to see who dares to frame the prince!"
As if the sun shines through the dark clouds, Concubine Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she grabbed the emperor's hand and nodded hurriedly: "Your Majesty is wise, there must be a thief who is thinking about me and the prince. The prince is stupid now, but they still won't let him go..."
She sobbed and cried, and the emperor seemed to be very distressed. He held her in his arms and kept comforting her.
The serving palace maids all lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.
The emperor didn't know whether he couldn't control his emotions or he had forgotten, but he didn't let the palace maid take Xiao Yanli away.
Xiao Yanli didn't look at that side, but the unbearable screams continued to reach his ears. He became ruthless and bit the cloth tiger's ears with his teeth. The hands curled up in his sleeves gradually shrank and clenched into fists.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yanli heard a low roar from the emperor, and the sound gradually stopped.
The eunuch brought up the contraceptive pills, and Concubine Yu was about to take them, but was stopped by the emperor.
The emperor kissed the corner of her lips lightly: "My dear, you don't have to take these contraceptive pills in the future. I look forward to you giving birth to another child for me."
Concubine Yu's heart suddenly beat wildly.
What the emperor meant by this was...
A huge joy hit Concubine Yu's nerves. The emperor, the emperor really intended to depose the queen and establish her!
She hoped to give birth to another prince, so she could also dream of the position of the Crown Prince.
Xiao Yanli lowered his head and thought.
After leaving the Jiaoxiang Palace, the emperor reached out and took the handkerchief handed to him by Fuping, and wiped his hands slowly.
"Is there anything unusual?"
Fu Ping really couldn't see anything. He tried to figure out his thoughts and stammered, "Forgive me for my poor eyesight. I really didn't see it."
The emperor snorted and threw the handkerchief in his hand to him, "If you can see it so easily, then there's no point in keeping him!"
Fu Ping: "Yes, your Majesty is right."
...
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees: Jiang Zhiyu, the daughter of the Prime Minister, is intelligent, dignified and wise, and deeply loved by me. She is appointed as the Imperial Academy's Assistant Secretary. She will be on duty in the Yu Study in the future and will not have to attend court. This is respectful."
It was as if a thunderbolt struck the heads of the ministers in the Golden Throne Hall. They all looked at each other, their eyes wide open like copper bells, their gazes burning, as if there was a sky above their heads.
How come they didn't hear anything about such a big thing!
Sikong Gu Yuanjing took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate!"
After being imprisoned, he was severely beaten for disturbing the court. After a week of rest, he rushed to the court without stopping. His injuries were not fully healed yet, and he was still limping.
"It is true that Jiang Zhiyu is an outstanding doctor, but if we break my law of heaven and give her the position of a female official just because of this, it is too biased and difficult to convince the public!"
The other ministers immediately echoed.
He Yanting stepped forward leisurely and said, "Sikong, you don't know that the emperor appointed her as the imperial secretary not because of her medical skills, but because the third young lady was quick-witted and led the Jinyiwei to find out the secret room in the sixth prince's mansion and captured the Southern Dragon Prince Marzaha, as well as the fact that the blood and flesh of my Tianqi people were used to feed his dragon insects in the secret room!"
"Once the dragon is refined, I don't know how many people in my Tianqi will die because of it!"
"With such a great achievement, but only the position of an imperial secretary, it's still unfair to the third young lady."
He Yanting's position in the court was quite embarrassing. He had the title of a general, but he was just a name without substance. This was also his first time to attend court after his injury healed.
All officials had heard about the actions of the Jinyiwei in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, but this was the first time they had heard of the matter of raising snakes.
Gu Yuanjing snorted, "But how did I hear that it was General He who led the Jinyiwei to raid the Sixth Prince's Mansion?"
He Yanting's face was a little ashamed, "It was because I was useless that I couldn't find the secret passage. Fortunately, the Third Miss passed by and not only caught the spy, but also found the secret room, and used powder to confuse the snakes. Only then could the Jinyiwei capture them without any effort."
Gu Yuanjing stared at him suspiciously, and he didn't believe a word of what he said.
How could a twelve-year-old girl from a noble family be so powerful? !
It's just a show that the emperor sent He Yanting to perform in the court! Just
to confuse them!
Gou Yuanjing thought he had figured out the truth, and sarcastically said: "The third lady is so powerful, what does that snake look like? Why don't we open our eyes and confirm the third lady's "achievements"!"
He Yanting was waiting for this sentence, but his face was still embarrassed: "The snake is very ferocious. Without medicine powder, I am afraid..."
"What is General He afraid of? It's just a small snake. A twelve-year-old lady is not afraid of it. How can we, the officials of the court, be worse than her?!"
The ministers:...
Just say you are not afraid, why are you pulling them!
Although I was cursing in my heart, I had to agree with him.
He Yanting sighed helplessly, and the emperor waved his hand: "Just do as the prime minister said, present the thing to the prime minister for viewing."
The eunuch quickly ran in with a small cage.
The cage was covered with a layer of black cloth, and judging from the size, it was about the same as the thrush cage he usually viewed.
Gou Yuanjing was even more disdainful.
How fierce could the snake be in such a small cage?
After the black cloth was taken off, Gou Yuanjing could no longer hold back and laughed out loud: "General He, is this the snake that you said killed so many people?"
He pointed at the cage, and in the middle of the cage was curled a small snake with its pupils tightly closed.
Seeing this scene, other officials could not help laughing out loud.
As if awakened by the laughter, the snake slowly crawled, and its pupils opened a little, revealing a faint red light.
Gou Yuanjing, who was laughing at the snake, was unaware of it, and snatched the cage from the eunuch's hand, shaking it wantonly.
He Yanting's face changed: "Stop!"
Gou Yuanjing turned a deaf ear to him, raised the cage in front of him, and looked into the scarlet eyes of the snake.
Although he was a little nervous, he also covered it under his own suggestion. Moreover, the size of the snake made Gou Yuanjing feel that he could kill it with one foot.
"Master Sikong, I advise you to put it down. This snake is extremely poisonous. If you touch it, you may lose your life."
Gou Yuanjing not only ignored him, but also held the cage with one hand and tried to open the cage door with the other hand, performing a barefoot snake stepping performance for them.
He Yanting frowned and tried to grab the cage, but the snake had already opened its mouth. The venom slid down its fangs, penetrated the iron cage, and also penetrated Gou Yuanjing's palm, dripping onto the ground, making a rustling sound.
