Chapter 374 Let’s stay together and wish for success
After giving the order, the eunuchs tore Xiao Xiguang apart, wrapped him in clothes and carried him back to the dormitory.
As for Lin Zhaozhao, his fate was naturally not so good.
He was showered with a bucket of cold water from head to toe, wrapped up casually, thrown into a carriage and sent back to Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
At this point, Xu Yingying could only find an excuse to let the ministers leave the palace first.
A wonderful New Year's banquet ended in such a ridiculous ending.
You don't have to think about it to know that there will be more rumors in the market tomorrow.
There was panic everywhere in the palace, and there was no sense of joy for the New Year.
At this moment, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Jingze were sitting on the palace wall.
It's so pleasant to look at the lights in the distance.
On the small table next to it, there is a small heater.
The wine is warming on the fire, and spicy dried fish, peanuts and other various side dishes are grilled.
The chaos in the palace has nothing to do with them, they enjoy the tranquility that belongs to them.
As it gets later, the cold wind howls, bringing with it a biting chill.
Xiao Jingze pulled Su Jinxiu into his arms and wrapped her tightly in his cloak.
"Is this the surprise A Jin gave you?"
He was not disappointed, he just felt that if this was the case, then he had eaten and it was time to go back and rest.
Su Jinxiu hid in Xiao Jingze's arms, with only her little head exposed.
He looked at the time and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, it's coming soon.
Let’s chat for a while first so we won’t be bored.”
Xiao Jingze put his chin on Su Jinxiu's shoulder, took a glass of wine and put it to Su Jinxiu's mouth.
"Okay, let's talk about it.
How did Ah Jin know that the emperor and Lin Zhaozhao teamed up to attack me?"
He didn't know anything at all, but when the emperor offered him a toast, he naturally had a hundred ways to refuse.
Unexpectedly, Ah Jin wrote the word "Drink" in his hand.
Although he didn't know why, he drank the wine obediently.
Later, the eunuch led them to the back hall and closed the door, and he realized that something was wrong.
Immediately, he took Ah Jin and left from the window.
Having caught a glimpse of the farce, he knew why Xiao Xiguang acted this way.
But I don’t quite understand, what happened to Lin Zhaozhao?
Su Jinxiu drank the hot wine in the cup and licked her lips reluctantly.
"This starts from when I met Concubine Xian's dog this morning..."
Concubine Xian's dog was in heat at that time, and she kindly reminded the two eunuchs.
But the two eunuchs said that the dog was still young and should not be in heat.
That means there was some kind of drug that aroused the dog.
The dog is holding the corner of Luyang's clothing in its mouth, indicating that it is related to that corner.
Later, the dog ran to pick up the corner of Lin Zhaozhao's clothes.
She said that Lin Zhaozhao's taste was the same as that, and she began to become suspicious.
I thought this matter was caused by Lin Zhaozhao and Concubine Xian, but who knew that the emperor came later.
The dog smelled a similar smell on the emperor again.
Immediately afterwards, the palace maid poured the wine, and she noticed something was wrong.
The glass of wine that the palace maid poured for Ah Jiu was dripped into the spiritual spring water, so there is no need to worry.
She asked Ah Jiu to toast the emperor, which attracted the attention of others.
I took the opportunity to change the wine flask in the hands of the palace maid and waited for the emperor to finish drinking.
Then let the maid pour the pot of wine to the emperor to drink, but the emperor doesn't know.
To be more precise, no one noticed it except her.
What happened later confirmed her suspicion.
The emperor really wanted to do something, but what the emperor wanted to do and what Lin Zhaozhao wanted to do seemed to be different things?
She understood Lin Zhaozhao's intentions very well.
It was just that he had taken a liking to her Ah Jiu and wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble.
If the emperor's wishes were followed, it should be her and Ah Jiu who were caught raping in the back hall at this moment.
Although if this matter spreads, it may have some impact on her and Ah Jiu's reputation.
But just now, the emperor himself offered the marriage, so it was not a big deal.
Then why did the emperor go to great lengths to design them?
After listening to Su Jinxiu's words, Xiao Jingze seemed to notice that Su Jinxiu was distracted.
He twisted a plum for her and put it in her mouth.
"There will be news about this on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Ah Jin doesn’t have to think so much now..."
Su Jinxiu nodded, the sourness spreading in her mouth.
Make her frown and whimper.
"These plums are so sour..."
Xiao Jingze raised his eyebrows, not believing it.
"Is it sour? Let me try it?"
Su Jinxiu was about to get him a plum, but she didn't expect it.
Xiao Jingze held her chin with one hand and kissed her lips.
Struggled, only listening to the sound of water.
Suddenly, a sharp sound came from the distant sky.
Fireworks rose into the night, blooming into gorgeous fireworks.
There are thousands of lights underground and gorgeous fireworks in the sky.
On the tower, there is a man and woman cuddling and kissing endlessly.
This scene is really beautiful.
Until the fireworks dispersed, the sound of firecrackers sounded in the streets.
It indicates that the new year has begun.
Realizing that Su Jinxiu was having trouble breathing, Xiao Jingze let her go.
He reached out and wiped away the water from the corners of Su Jinxiu's eyes.
"Happy New Year, Ajin.
Every year is prosperous, and every year is peaceful.”
Su Jinxiu's face was flushed with embarrassment, she held Xiao Jingze's hand and intertwined their fingers.
"Happy New Year, my Ajiu.
I also wish you good health and peace every year."
When Xiao Jingze heard this, his eyes seemed to be filled with fire.
"Well, I have Ah Jin every year, and everything is safe every year.
Ah Jin, let’s get married as soon as possible!”
It used to be urging, now it's eager.
He really couldn't wait any longer.
Su Jinxiu smiled and nodded: "Well, okay..."
The two of them stayed on the tower until dawn, and then returned to Qingliang Hall.
While the two of them were catching up on their sleep, there was already a commotion in the palace.
Xu Yingying brought Xiao Xiguang back to the palace and summoned the imperial physician from the palace.
After struggling all night, Xiao Xiguang finally solved the problem.
Xiao Xiguang opened his eyes, and what he could see was the imperial doctor kneeling on the floor, and Xu Yingying, who was guarding the bedside with red eyes.
He held his forehead and felt a splitting headache.
"Yingying, last night, I..."
Before she finished speaking, Xu Yingying fell to her knees.
"Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to deprive me of my title.
Drive the concubine out of the palace and let her go to Huangjue Temple to practice.
For the rest of my life, I will always be with the Ancient Buddha of Green Lantern."
Seeing Xu Yingying looking so sad was not a lie.
Xiao Xiguang was startled, struggled to get up and went to help Xu Yingying.
"Concubine Xian, what's going on?"
Xu Yingying turned slightly to avoid Xiao Xiguang's hand.
"These are my concubine's words from the bottom of my heart. I would like to ask the emperor to grant my request."
Xiao Xiguang looked at the imperial doctor who was kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth and asked.
"Concubine Xian refuses to speak, so I'll let you speak.
What happened last night?"
He clearly remembered that he entered the rear hall last night.
I saw Yingying. Could it be that something went wrong?
Doctors, look at me and I'll look at you.
I could only briefly tell Xiao Xiguang what happened last night.
After hearing this, Xiao Xiguang's face was full of disbelief.
"You are saying that I favored Lin Zhaozhao last night?"
Before the doctors could nod, Xu Yingying started sobbing.
"The emperor has done everything he has done, why don't he admit it?"
