Wishful Things

"It's Xiao Ruizi..."

The prince looked at the inner eunuch who was kneeling beside him and hung his head tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "It was Xiao Ruizi who pushed my son into the pool..."

Xiao Ruizi and Xiao Xiangzi have been by his side since he was a child. He is introverted and not good at talking with others, but he regards these two as people who can talk and trust.

But who knows...

Emperor Qingming suddenly changed his face, and looked at the inner eunuch who was sweating heavily and did not dare to lift his head.

Prince Jing scolded: "Okay, so it turned out that you were the one who called out to catch the thief, murdered the prince, and even tried to put the blame on me!"

"You want to kill the prince?!"

There was a chill in Emperor Qingming's eyes.

"Slave... Slave is wronged!"

"Your Highness personally identified it, but you still dare to call for injustice!" Li Ji asked sharply, "Tell me, who exactly instructed you!"

The eunuch just cried and cried out for his innocence.

Seeing that he couldn't ask any questions for the time being, Emperor Qingming ordered with a serious face, "Take him down and interrogate him strictly!"

The inner prisoner was quickly taken away.

Fortunately, one life was saved, and the weak and frightened prince was also sent back to the East Palace by the imperial physician and guards.

"I almost blamed Shengchang by mistake today." Emperor Qingming looked at King Jing's son and said, "I will order people to find out the truth of this matter as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty is right. It is indeed necessary to investigate carefully. The innocence of my nephew is still secondary. However, those who intend to murder the prince must not be pardoned lightly. Fortunately, Your Highness has a good fortune, and thanks to this Miss Xu's wonderful hand rejuvenation—" Prince Jing had roughly recovered his demeanor, said at this moment, then turned his head to look at Xu Mingyi, and showed a friendly yet elegant smile.

Wu Chao raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seems that this prince respecting the king is a man who doesn't remember to fight.

"That's right, I should reward Miss Xu heavily." Looking at the girl standing beside Duke Zhen, Emperor Qingming also had a little smile in his eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince of Daqing. There is no reason why the ministers and daughters should not try their best to save each other. They dare not invite rewards for their duties." The girl said the scene, and there was a faint complacency in her eyes for saving the prince, but she couldn't hide it. Standing still, her sweaty, disheveled face looked vivid and flamboyant.

She was just a girl with a simple mind who loves to show off when things happen, and will be proud of it when she gets compliments.

"You have made a great contribution this time, so it should be your reward, and you can't push it away." The Queen smiled and said, "It's just that I didn't know Miss Xu was so proficient in medical skills in the past—"

Xu Ming made a distinction between his mind and heart.

The empress is giving her a chance to explain in public again. After all, she is so good at 'medical skills' as a noble lady, it is indeed too strange. If she can't explain clearly, she will be suspected or cause trouble.

"To tell you the truth, my daughter does not know medical skills, but there is a girl next to me who has studied medicine since she was a child, and loves to study medical books on weekdays. It is by chance that my daughter learned the method of first aid for drowning with her. Just now Applying the method to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just a desperate attempt, and there was not much confidence in it..."

I have to say that her Aoi is really easy to use.

The queen nodded clearly: "I see."

"Co-authoring is just a mistake."

Xia Xi on the side laughed and said, "I really think she has some extraordinary skills."

Xu Mingyi looked at her, and said bluntly: "It's better to hit by mistake than Miss Xia to stand here and sneer."

She could also ignore Xia Xi's words, but who told her that she happened to be Miss Xu who had just made meritorious deeds and was destined to be more arrogant than before.

Xia Tingzhen is the head of civil servants, Xu Qiwei is the head of military generals, Xia Xi, the youngest daughter of Xia Ge, loves to compete with Xu Mingyi everywhere since she was a child, this is a well-known fact in Beijing.

At first, it was just a rivalry, but about two years ago, Xu Mingyi was so annoyed that he kicked Xia Xi, who was in a hurry, into the lotus pond at Princess Jingrong's poetry meeting, making her very ugly ... Xia Xi took this hatred to heart, and from then on, the two of them really formed a bond.

At this time, Xia Xi heard the other party's words, noticed the gazes from all around, blushed and was about to fight back, but was interrupted by a cold voice.

"It's the truth that Miss Xu saved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how can you allow yourself to say nothing here—"

There was anger in Xia Tingzhen's eyes.

Xia Xi shrank her neck, lowered her head in embarrassment, and secretly made a note for Xu Mingyi in her heart.

"The empress and Xia Shoufu are right, Miss Xu must be rewarded." Emperor Qingming looked at the young man in a crow-blue robe, and said in a gentle voice with a sense of intimacy: "There is also A Yuan, who should also be rewarded. "

Wu Chao raised his hand, simply and without refusal: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I have wronged the queen because of such incidents today... a good birthday party, and it turned out like this." Emperor Qingming whispered to the queen.

The queen smiled: "What are you talking about, Your Majesty, the birthday is celebrated every year, not to mention that Sheng'er was saved from danger, so what is there for the concubine to be dissatisfied with?"

Without waiting for Emperor Qingming to say anything more, she urged in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, if you have business to do, just deal with it, hand it over to Tai Palace, and let the concubines arrange it."

Emperor Qingming nodded gently.

"Also."

He raised his eyes to look at the officials, and ordered Zhen Guogong, Xia Tingzhen, Han Yan and others to go to the imperial study for an emergency discussion.

Prince Jing's son who was involved in it also had to go together, but before leaving, he did not forget to bow to Xu Mingyi and thank him: "Thank you Miss Xu for saving me tonight."

"Your Majesty is serious."

Prince Jing wanted to say something more, but Xu Mingyi turned around and left.

"Cousin, you are too powerful...you actually rescued His Highness the Crown Prince."

As soon as Xu Mingyi came in front of Cui Shi and the others, Cui Yunwei exclaimed in amazement, her eyes sparkling.

Xu Mingyi smiled and said, "It's just luck."

"If you are lucky, you have to have skills. Otherwise, you will not be able to catch the luck!" Cui Yunwei said.

"Weiwei's words are true." Cui Shi took the words without humility.

The surprised and envious eyes of those women just now almost overwhelmed her—who told her that Jia Zhaozhao is good-looking, good-natured, and so capable, ah, so to speak... the benefits of raising a daughter are too great. Too many!

"Miss Xu has indeed made a great contribution today..." Mrs. Wen glanced at Mrs. Cui with a smile, and whispered to Mrs. Cui: "The Empress has taken a step ahead, let's go back to the Tai Palace as soon as possible."

"Mother, aunt and cousin go back first."

Xu Mingyi glanced forward and said, "I'll go to Jiaotai Hall to find you later."

What is this going to do?

Cui subconsciously followed her gaze.

I saw a girl in an apricot-colored dress sitting in a gazebo not far ahead, and there were two servant girls standing beside the girl.

(The last sentence was added on purpose after the word count was enough. Don’t say that I broke the chapter this time, right?)
