Chapter 699
Chapter 699
In the atmosphere of the Youchunfang Great Hall, the maids and servants held their breaths and did not dare to make a sound.
When Li Lizhi happily recounted all the things she had just done, not only the Empress Changsun blinked in disbelief, but Yan Lingbin and the others also looked at the shy young lady lying on the bed with surprise.
In the past, the little guy always looked timid in the palace, and always liked to hide behind Li Jing by the corner of his clothes when facing strangers.
But at this time, after hearing what happened just now, no one underestimated her past actions.
There seemed to be a bit more inexplicable aura in this smaller body that was getting richer than usual.
Even in the eyes of everyone, the bragging act of protecting Li Jing that Xiao Youniang said in the past has become a matter of course.
Perhaps it was because she often protected Li Jing, who was in trouble in Sujiazhuang, that she stood in front of Li Lizhi recklessly tonight.
Otherwise, how could the little guy burst out with such astonishing power just based on his soft and cute posture at the moment?
Think about it here.
Empress Changsun looked at her blushing face, holding on tightly to the little girl whose mother Su blinked from time to time, and couldn't help showing a comfortable smile on her pretty face.
It's not in vain that she treats the little guy so kindly in normal times, the little young lady did not disappoint her at the critical moment.
Although she had never seen the scene of Shi Cai with her own eyes, she knew just how dangerous it was based on her experience and wisdom.
If the little girl hadn't found out that something was wrong and dealt with it calmly, Li Lizhi and the others might have died at this moment.
Even if the visitors were afraid of the power of Li Tang's royal family and did not dare to act on the spot, once Li Lizhi was kidnapped by those vicious thieves, it would not be that easy to escape.
What's more, since the villains dared to take the risk of attacking the Su family, who knows whether Li Tang's royal reputation will work or not?
"Back then, Jing'er was taken in by the Su family for treatment, and only then was she lucky enough to grow into an adult.
Now Lizhi was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe because of the young mother's protection.
Your mother and daughter of the Su family have protected me one after another, the sons of the Li Tang royal family, Mrs. Su, how do you want this palace to reward you? "
Empress Changsun thought for a while, looked at Su's mother and asked softly.
Su's mother shook her head when she heard the words, stood up and responded with blessings: "The whole family of the Su family has been greatly favored by His Majesty and the Empress, and some small things are just the duties that members of the Su family should do.
And if it wasn't for the young lady's fun today, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess would not need to be frightened like this.
The empress has already received great grace from the emperor before she blamed the young lady, how dare the old lady ask for a reward from the empress! "
"Ugh!
You and Bengong have known each other for a long time, why are you still so polite now? "
Seeing this, Empress Changsun got up and helped Su's mother with her own hands, and said softly with a smile: "That's fine.
Since you don't want rewards, I don't want to force others to make things difficult for me, and it won't be too late to deal with everything after Jing Er returns. "
Mother Su seemed to be relieved when she heard the words, she nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Empress."
"Oh~
Are you really so polite? "
Empress Changsun looked slightly unhappy when she saw this.
Su's mother shook her head when she saw it, and said with a helpless wry smile: "The old lady dare not.
But ma'am, the old lady thinks there is something strange about this matter, so it's better not to tell Jing'er for the time being.
If he led the crowd back to Beijing on impulse, he would inevitably fall into the tricks of the thieves. "
"Oh?!
There is some truth in what you said.
It's just that in my opinion, the purpose of this thief is probably not Jing'er! "
Empress Changsun's voice suddenly turned cold when she heard the words, she looked at the kneeling man beside her and asked loudly: "Have you found out who did what happened tonight?
Could it be that Baiqisi and Donggong spies are all trash, and more than [-] people were easily broken into!
If not for His Majesty's imminent expedition, I would never have waited lightly today! ! ! "
"Thank you Empress Empress for not killing me!"
The man yelled in a desperate voice.
Immediately without waiting for Empress Changsun to open her mouth, Fu kowtowed bitterly and said, "Report to Empress.
Before leaving, His Majesty repeatedly urged the humble officials to protect the safety of the empress.
Therefore, I didn't bring anyone to the Su Mansion to guard today, and all inspections were handed over to General Xi Junmai.
But who would have thought that the thieves had sneaked into Su's mansion under the guise of the Royal Theater a few days ago.
Tonight, it was this person who opened the back door in cooperation with the outside, and just now caused the thieves to sneak into the Su residence without anyone knowing..."
"Royal Theater?!"
Empress Changsun's eyes froze when she heard the words, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Zhao Ya with dull eyes.
She was used to all kinds of scheming in the palace, so even though Zhao Ya's actions were not inappropriate, the first thing she suspected was still Zhao Ya.
"Miss!"
Seeing Empress Changsun's unkind expression, Zhao Ya was terrified and dared not speak.
Yan Lingbin secretly sighed anxiously, dragged his handicapped body, and bowed: "I want to report to your empress.
Since the royal tea house was destroyed by fire, sister Zhao Ya has not been out of the palace to take care of the royal theater for dozens of days.
Sister Zhao Ya has already handed over the affairs to the shopkeeper, so it must have nothing to do with tonight's incident. "
"Really?!"
Empress Changsun was noncommittal when she heard the words, she stared into Zhao Ya's eyes and asked in a deep voice.
She would not easily believe that Zhao Ya had nothing to do with this matter just based on Yan Lingbin's words.
Even if Zhao Ya proves her innocence today, she will not be relieved until after many trials.
Hearing the words, Zhao Ya seemed to come back to her senses, and looked at Yan Lingbin with great gratitude, before she sincerely bowed to Empress Changsun: "Sister Bin'er's words are not false, what happened tonight has absolutely nothing to do with the slave family.
But this matter is ultimately due to the negligence of the slave family, and the slave family is willing to accept the punishment of the empress. "
"Oh~
You are wise and determined, knowing that confession is more appropriate than sophistry at this time.
But now that Jing Er is out of the palace, it is inconvenient for me to deal with the people around him.
You can stay in the East Palace with peace of mind, and deal with it after Jing'er returns. "
Empress Changsun sneered, squinted her eyes and tried again.
Zhao Ya smiled bitterly when she heard the words, shook her head and sighed, and said: "I obey the order!!!"
"Humph!"
Empress Changsun observed for a while but didn't see any clues, she snorted coldly and looked at the leader of Baiqisi again and asked: "Did the person who attacked just now catch a living?
Can you find out who is behind it? "
"Mother, the people who attacked the Su residence were all dead men.
The humble staff and others arrested four people, three of them committed suicide by taking poison, and the remaining one was also seriously injured and unconscious.
Therefore, so far, I still don't know who did this, and there is no clue to continue to investigate for the time being.
I am humble and incompetent, so please forgive me. "
"waste!!!"
The leader of Baiqi Division bowed his head and paused.
Empress Changsun was furious when she heard the words.
Seeing this, Li Lizhi hesitated for a moment, stepped forward shyly and tugged at the corner of Empress Changsun's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Mother, Lizhi has something important to report to Mother."
"Humph!
What is your business?
If you hadn't been playful and lured the young lady and others to the garden tonight, how could the thieves have an opportunity to take advantage of it! ! ! "
Empress Changsun had a rare serious face, and said seriously.
Seeing this, Li Lizhi shrank her neck aggrievedly, pouted her lips and said in a low voice: "Mother, Lizhi knows she's wrong, but does Lizhi really have something important to report?"
Empress Changsun sneered sullenly when she heard the words, tapped Li Lizhi's forehead vigorously, and replied in a deep voice: "Tell me, what kind of tricks do you want to play with?
If something happens to the young lady tonight, let's see how your elder brother will deal with you when he returns! "
"Lizhi didn't play tricks!"
Li Lizhi argued aggrievedly, tried her best to put her feet up and raised her head, and said in a very low voice: "Mother, the black-clothed leader made a slip of the tongue tonight. He accidentally mentioned that his master is the second brother!"
"What did you say?!
This is absolutely impossible! ! ! "
