Chapter 167 Another plan fails!
royal palace.
Inside Kunning Palace, the queen's eyes were red as she cursed, "Waste, all of you are just a bunch of waste."
Just now, news came from Shaohua Palace that the prince of Jingyuan Marquis will be getting married in ten days.
Thinking about those incompetent men in black that she had sent out, the queen gnashed her teeth and wished she could drag out all the palace maids and eunuchs in the room and beat them to death in a rage.
At this time, the confidant Zhang Ma stood in the corner with her eyes darting around. Suddenly, she slowly walked to the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, please be patient and don't get angry and hurt yourself. In my opinion, it would be better for you to find another way."
As she was speaking, Nanny Zhang suddenly leaned close to the Queen's ear and whispered something.
After hearing this, the Queen calmed down a little while later.
"Forget it. I will give them one more chance. If they still can't get this done, I will settle all the old and new accounts with them and make them pay."
the other side.
In the Golden Throne Hall, the emperor sat upright, overlooking the civil and military officials below.
At this moment, Xiao Jue suddenly stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty... I have something to report."
"..."
General, the sun rose from the west today, and I actually have something to report.
Upon hearing this, the ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.
If I remember correctly, this was the first time that the General of Cavalry had something to report in front of all the civil and military officials.
"Permitted..."
The emperor spread his hands and his brows relaxed. He was happy for the boy when he thought that he had finally gotten the beauty he wished for.
Thinking that what this kid was going to report was probably related to his marriage, he didn't take it too seriously.
However, he did not expect that the book he wrote was about the Minister of War Li Qian'an, who was not strict in managing his household and educating his children.
Not only did the ministers look at each other in shock, but even the emperor turned cold and looked at the Minister of War Li Qian'an with displeasure.
"Li Qian, come out and give me an explanation."
Li Qian fell to his knees.
The Emperor: "Li Qian, I will give you a chance. Think carefully about it. Is what the general said true? Did your rebellious son really do such a dirty thing?!"
As he was able to hold the position of Minister of War, Li Qian was naturally a smart man.
Therefore, he knew very well that it was impossible to hide the fact that his son had raped a woman in broad daylight.
I heard that the girl's father had already gone to the gate of the government office and beat the drum to complain. Although he had tried his best to suppress the matter, he did not expect that the young and hot-tempered general would still bring the matter to the attention of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, my rebellious son did not destroy the girl's innocence. This matter is most likely a deliberate slander by Zhao Hu. Please investigate clearly."
When the emperor heard this, he looked up. At this time, one-third of the officials in the hall came out and urged the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation and clear Lord Li's name.
Seeing that Li Qian'an's words were evasive and had loopholes, Xiao Jue stepped forward again.
“Your Majesty, as far as I know, when Zhao Hu was seeking justice for his youngest daughter, he never mentioned that the Second Master Li had caused his daughter to lose her innocence.
But Mr. Li's motives are obvious and undeniable.
Your Majesty, the little daughter of the Zhao family was just lucky enough to escape the disaster. It is obvious that the second young master Li attempted to rape a girl but failed.
The Zhao family has been guarding the spirits of the late emperors and have been loyal and devoted for generations. They do not deserve to be humiliated in this way. If Your Majesty does not punish the second son of the Li family and let the matter go, it will definitely hurt the hearts of all the people of the Beicang Kingdom.
It will also completely dishearten the soldiers who are guarding the border and fighting bravely against the enemies.
Your Majesty, I hope that Your Majesty will severely punish the Minister of War, Mr. Li, and his rebellious son. Only in this way can you appease the many people of the Northern Cang Kingdom, Your Majesty."
After these words were spoken, all the generals in the hall came out and knelt down together.
The generals: "I beg the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation."
"Investigate!" The emperor, with a gloomy face, slapped the dragon throne.
"Father-in-law!"
The old eunuch behind him flicked his whisk and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty."
"Pass on my order to let the Jinyiwei investigate this matter personally. All personnel must cooperate with the Jinyiwei in handling the case and must not interfere secretly.
If anyone is found to have secretly interfered with this case, I will punish them severely once the truth is revealed."
"Old slave, I obey."
The old man then took a half step back and looked at the handsome and upright eldest son of the Xiao family who was standing under the Golden Throne Hall with a look of great satisfaction.
……
Outside Kunning Palace.
Minister of War Li Qian'an had been kneeling at the palace gate for a full hour. The scorching sun above his head had already burned his heart to a crisp.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that his situation might be hopeless. If the emperor really wanted to thoroughly investigate their Li family, he would probably end up uncovering a lot of mud.
Therefore, there is only one way out now, to seek the protection of the Queen Mother and let her keep his official position and save the life of his ignorant and rebellious son.
"Empress, you see Lord Li has been kneeling outside for such a long time, do you want to see him?"
Nanny Zhang looked at the upset Queen with an anxious look on her face. She took out the Queen's favorite osmanthus cake from the tray, walked up to the Queen and presented it to her with both hands.
The queen held the handkerchief in one hand, raised the other hand, took a small piece of cake from the plate, put it to her lips and smelled it.
I still can't calm down.
“I originally thought that the Minister of War Li Qian’an was a smart man, but I didn’t expect that he would raise such a disappointing son.
Never mind, this chess piece is ruined, there is no need for me to waste my time and energy on him.
Go out and tell him that I am ill and cannot summon him, so ask him to go back and wait for news from me."
"It's the Queen."
Nanny Zhang hurried out of the yard and explained everything the Queen had said.
As a result, although Li Qian'an was full of reluctance, he had no choice but to stand up tremblingly and walk out of Kunning Palace dejectedly.
the other side.
Lin Acai arrived at Xiaoji Clinic early in the morning. Before she could even sit down, a group of people rushed into the clinic in a hurry.
A woman who was about to give birth was in a critical condition.
There were six or seven people in total accompanying them. Among them, there was a man who had an obvious murderous aura. As soon as he entered the clinic, his eyes fell on Lin Acai with hostility.
In a firm tone, he said, "My sister is about to give birth. The female doctor, please help my sister deliver the baby. Don't make any mistakes!"
There were people coming and going, and I met so many patients' families who came for treatment, but I had never seen anyone threatening and intimidating the female doctors as soon as they entered the clinic.
It's simply unreasonable!
Lin Acai obviously sensed something was wrong but was eager to ask for help and ignored him. She took a step closer and looked at the woman who was carried in by four men on a wooden board.
The woman was sweating profusely and her face was distorted with pain.
Lin Acai looked at the bulging belly and immediately realized the problem.
I'm afraid the baby will be born prematurely.
At this time, a thin man came forward and begged: "Female doctor... please save my wife, save my wife."
