Chapter 280: Pretending to be naive

Xuanyuan Ye had a faint smile on his lips, and he looked just right at a confusion and calmness.

"If Your Majesty thinks it is me, I will naturally not be able to delay it. It's just that the thief has just died. I'm afraid they still have some evil means. Your Majesty should send a doctor to take a look."

He had Tianxuan under his command, but he also knew that the emperor would definitely not believe in him at this time.

This sentence has actually meant something.

It seemed that a holy light suddenly appeared on Shangguan Li, who was hesitating at the door of the store, and everyone could see her again.

"Shaoyang, you are here."

Sure enough, the emperor hooked up and summoned her over.

Shangguan Li realized that this formation was the same as the court, and she should be one of the few people who could climb such places as her daughter.

The idea of ​​making fun in pain flashed by, and she walked in generously and stopped beside Xuanyuan Ye. It was neither near nor far, and it was subtle and could not guess her position.

"His Majesty."

She bowed and decided to speak first.

"I heard something about Shaoyang. Did the captive thieves have something wrong?"

Facing her, the emperor's face improved a little, and he said in a deep voice.

"The dozen or so thieves detained at the foot of Anshan died overnight. What do Shaoyang thinks about this?"

The emperor did not let her check it out, but instead asked her what she thought, as if it was trust, and as if it was some secret temptation.

Shangguan Li said slowly.

"It sounds like it's poisoned, but if you don't see it with your own eyes, Shaoyang can't make a judgment."

"I was trapped in the hunting ground at that time. I heard that it was Shaoyang and Zhenbei King working together to dispel the poisonous fog in time."

He said it in a leisurely manner, and suddenly the conversation changed.

"Didn't Shaoyang notice that these thieves were carrying suicide poison on them at that time?"

Oh, she understood. She saw that she was getting closer to Xuanyuan Ye, and even suspected her.

Shangguan Li raised his head slightly and said in confusion.

"Is Your Majesty blaming Shaoyang?"

The emperor seemed to be choked by her naive question, and didn't say anything.

Her tone was a little excited, and a little aggrieved appeared on her little face.

"But your Majesty, when they caught the thieves, Shaoyang did check it out, and there was nothing unusual. The imperial guards didn't let me do further investigation. Shaoyang thought that if these thieves wanted to commit suicide, they had already committed suicide, so they didn't pay much attention."

"Who knew that after staying overnight, they suddenly wanted to die. Shaoyang was just alone and could not do everything. They would never dare to claim the charge of ineffective inspection."

There was a moment of blankness on the emperor's face, and after a while, his tone became stern.

"Rareless, what's your tone!"

Shangguan Li was stunned for a moment, then kneeled down as if he had reacted.

"Shaoyang has made a mistake, please punish him."

Before the emperor could speak, a minister standing in front on the left stood up.

"Your Majesty, I think that although the princess's tone is disrespectful, what she says may not be unreasonable."

The emperor glanced at him.

"Liu Qing, what do you want to say?"

"If those thieves really died of poison, why should they not die sooner or later, but they have to wait until this time? Is it just to survive for half a day?"

Then several ministers stood up one after another.

"Your Majesty, I think what the leader said is reasonable. It is better to ask someone to check the body first and then make a judgment."

"Yes, your Majesty, the external troubles have not stopped, so it's better to figure out everything first."

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

“…”

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the ministers either followed the trend or stood in line for Shangguan Li's favor.

Of course, Feng Sibei would not miss this opportunity, lifted his robe and knelt down.

"Father, what the ministers said is reasonable, and the princess broke through the siege yesterday and came to rescue the injured, so it is inevitable to neglect it. Please check this matter clearly first so that those who are ill-hearted will take advantage of the loopholes."

Even Feng Sichen, who had always been incompatible with Shangguan Li, did not beat the dog under the general trend, but said a few neutral words.

The ministers asked for the order, and after a while, the emperor agreed to the request.

He asked Shangguan Li and the accompanying imperial doctor to check together. The result was that a little poisonous medicine was picked out with a thin and soft needle a little bit of poisonous medicine. With a gentle bump, the poison would enter the body and the gods would be unable to save it.

Shangguan Li returned to the main hall with the result. Xuanyuan Ye still maintained that position, giving her a sense that even if the matter was delayed for three days today, he could still stand up straight and smile at everyone's busyness with a calm look on his face.

Looking at him, she understood a little why the emperor was so afraid of him.

She still walked to Xuanyuan Ye, and this time he turned his head and looked at her. His lips moved almost imperceptibly, and a sound came to her ears.

"Thank you."

Shangguan Li pretended not to hear it.

He reported the results directly to the emperor, generously admitted his negligence, and also insinuatedly mocked Xuanyuan Ye's subordinates for being ineffective in their work.

The ministers who spoke to her just now were frightened.

That person is also the King of Zhenbei. After years of gaining power, he has grown into a tiger that cannot move in everyone's hearts. Why does this princess who is ignorant of the world dare to go up and flirt with her beard?

But these words seemed to make the emperor's mood better. He listened quietly and then issued an order.

Xuanyuan Ye was not in good condition and was fined one year's salary. He went back and was imprisoned for half a month. In addition, the entire guard was taken over by the imperial guards and the guards, and Xuanyuan Ye's people were directly laid off.

As for Shangguan Li, he was found to be ineffective and contradicted the emperor and was fined for half a year's salary.

After everyone dispersed, Shangguan Li happened to meet Shangguan Bu and Liu Hua who rushed over after hearing the news.

"Sister Three, are you okay?"

"Can't say it's okay."

Shangguan Li said slowly in Shangguan Bu's terrified gaze.

"I have lost half a year's salary, and I'm going to drink the northwest wind. How many days will your shop not be able to support me?"

Shangguan Bu's breath was blown into her stomach by her heavy joke, causing a burst of anger.

But before he could have an attack, Liu Hua, who was standing beside him, suddenly answered.

"The county mainly has difficulties, so I can tell me."

Shangguan Li and her second brother were both silent for a moment.

"ah."

Seeing their faces, Liu Hua quickly added.

"Although my family is not rich, it should be okay to bear the princess's life for half a year."

Shangguan Li grinded his back teeth, why didn’t he find out that he was a honest child before?

"Uh, I..."

"No."

A cool voice suddenly came from behind her.

"The princess is not short of that half a year's salary."
