Chapter 289 Preemptive Strike
Wei Xi and everyone in the kitchen were beaten with sticks and thrown out of the palace.
Su Ying's original words were, go back to where you came from.
As soon as Wei Xi and the others were thrown out, Xiao Jin came back. His eyebrows jumped when he saw the people who were thrown out of the palace. After hearing the guards' explanation of the situation, he waved his hand and asked the guards to pull a carriage over and throw these people out of the palace gate.
These people all came out of the palace.
Xiao Jin entered the palace and heard what the guards had said. He couldn't help but quicken his pace as he walked into the courtyard.
When she saw Su Ying, the hostility between her brows had not yet disappeared.
Xiao Jin walked quickly to the bedside, "How are the children?"
"I took the medicine and went to sleep."
Su Ying just checked the pulse of the two children and felt relieved only after making sure that there was nothing wrong with them.
But she would not swallow this easily.
"What on earth is going on?"
Su Ying covered the two children with quilts and went out with Xiao Jin.
He Shouyi knelt in the main hall.
"It was indeed my negligence this time. Please punish me, Princess and Prince."
After Su Ying had the guards bring him into the house, she did not do anything to him. He listened to the noise outside and knew that Su Ying believed in him and planned to use this opportunity to clear out the people in the palace.
But he really blamed himself, and he kept trying to recall where the mistake was.
There are so many people in the palace, it is impossible for him to finish everything with just his own hands.
There were other kitchen helpers in the big kitchen, but normally he would not allow them to get close to the stove, especially when preparing meals for Su Ying and the others.
But today he was called out by a kitchen helper in the middle of the meal, saying that the meat in the stove outside was burnt. He left for about a quarter of an hour during that break. The red date cake he made was placed on the stove at that time. He would not be able to notice if someone went in and tampered with the red date cake at this time.
"Uncle He, I have always trusted you. Even after what happened today, I still choose to believe you." Su Ying said softly.
Uncle He clenched his cheeks tightly because of guilt.
"I will never forget the kindness that the princess has shown me. Don't worry, from now on, I will guard this corner of the kitchen for you and will never allow anyone to tamper with the food."
Su Ying came up to him and looked at him with gloomy eyes. "I, Su Ying, never fear the oncoming enemy. I am only afraid of being stabbed in the back by my comrades. If that day really comes, I will never hesitate to deal with him. Uncle He, do you understand?"
He Shouyi nodded with a tense face, "Don't worry, Princess. If that day ever comes, I will definitely not let you down even if I have to make my own decision."
"Okay, from now on, the palace's kitchen will be handed over to you."
"yes."
After He Shouyi left, Xiao Jin followed him out.
"Where are you going?"
Su Ying looked at the sky and it was getting dark.
"Enter the palace."
Xiao Jin had a blank expression on his face, but Su Ying knew that he was angry.
"If you hit the dogs, their masters won't be able to escape unscathed."
Xiao Jin rode his horse outside the palace. After Wei Xi and the others were thrown over, the imperial guards immediately went to inform Emperor Kangze.
Emperor Kangze was still annoyed because he couldn't fish out the tiger talisman. Now everyone in the court knew that the tiger talisman had fallen into the Tianchi Lake. If he couldn't fish it out one day, the large troops on the border would be out of his control. The thought made him anxious.
"Your Majesty, Wei Xi and the people sent to the Prince of Qi's Palace were caned and thrown outside the palace gate."
Kang Zedi's eyebrows jumped, "Who hit you?"
"It is said that the Princess of Qi."
Emperor Kangze's face became even gloomier. When beating a dog, one has to look at the master first. He felt that Su Ying couldn't be so brave. All this was probably instigated by Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin is still as difficult to control as before!
"Your Majesty, the King of Qi is asking for an audience outside the palace."
Emperor Kangze was so angry that he had no place to vent, and then Xiao Jin came to him.
"Let him come in, and bring Wei Xi and the others in as well."
"yes."
As soon as Xiao Jin entered the hall, he took the initiative and said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me."
The words that Kang Zedi wanted to say choked up in his throat, and were blocked back. "You have already beaten everyone in the mansion out, what else do you want me to do for you?"
"I don't know who gave those people the guts to murder Ji'er and Ling'er and put drugs in their snacks."
Kang Zedi's eyebrows jumped, "What?"
He looked anxious, "How are the two children?"
Xiao Jin's face was tense. "Fortunately, it was discovered in time. He got much better after taking the medicine. Wei Xi was a person who left the palace. As the chief steward of the palace, he made a mistake in employing people, which led to such serious consequences. I brought him here because he was a person in the palace, and let the emperor deal with him."
As soon as Xiao Jin arrived, he took the initiative and blocked all the anger of Emperor Kangze.
Kang Zedi took a deep breath and clenched his fists. He was so angry!
This bunch of useless trash!
"Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory answer to this matter."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Then there is no one in your palace to take charge of the situation for you?"
"I have already asked someone to bring Zhang Shuming back. He has been managing the palace for me, so he should be familiar with all the affairs of the palace."
Emperor Kangze narrowed his eyes, staring at Xiao Jin like an eagle for a long time before saying, "Since you have already made arrangements, I don't have to worry. Don't worry, I will severely punish those people and will not show any leniency."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Jin stood up and said, "I'll take my leave."
It was not until Xiao Jin walked away that Emperor Kangze overturned everything on the dragon table.
Obviously, he wanted to blame Xiao Jin, but who knew that he would end up being the one to blame.
"Wei Xi is such an idiot. Throw those people into the torture chamber and let them deal with them."
"yes."
It was already dark when Xiao Jin returned to the palace.
The two little ones also woke up. After a nap, their spirits were fully restored and they looked lively.
Because their stomachs were irritated, He Shouyi specially made medicinal porridge for them at night to nourish their stomachs.
When Xiao Jin walked into the room, the mother and her two children were preparing to eat. When they saw him come in, the two little ones happily jumped off their chairs and ran to Xiao Jin and hugged him.
"Daddy, come back."
Xiao Jin picked them up and asked, "Does your stomach still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore, Daddy. Ji'er doesn't hurt anymore."
The medicine irritates the stomach and intestines and causes acute gastroenteritis. This disease will not be a big problem as long as the medicine is taken in time. However, you must eat light food during the next few days otherwise it will easily relapse.
Su Ying glanced at Xiao Jin and said, "I came back pretty quickly. Didn't I cause you any trouble?"
Xiao Jin held the child and sat down beside her. "His people caused trouble here. What right does he have to blame me?"
