Ci Jinzhi Chapter 316

Jin Linwei dismounted and quickly came to He Qingxiao: "Sir, something happened last night."

He Qingxiao was quite calm and took a few steps forward, signaling the coming Jinlin Guards to report.

Jin Linwei whispered in his ear.

Xin You silently watched the change in He Qingxiao's expression and became curious.

As for the mausoleum supervisor who was accompanying him, he pricked up his ears to hear clearly.

After Jinlin Guard finished reporting, He Qingxiao's expression returned to calm, and she turned around and walked back to Xin You.

"Master He is busy with business, please go back quickly." Although Xin You was curious about what happened, she didn't ask.

 If she could tell it, Mr. He would probably tell her. If you can't, why ask and embarrass him.

 “Xin Taizhao takes a step to speak.”

Xin You walked aside with He Qingxiao under the envious eyes of the mausoleum supervisor.

He Qingxiao whispered about the news he had just heard: "Last night today, I accompanied the Queen Mother to climb up to admire the moon. A stone unexpectedly rolled down and hit the crossbar. Fortunately, King Xiu protected the Queen Mother, otherwise the Queen Mother would have been hit by the falling crossbar. "

Xin You's expression changed slightly: "What about King Xiu?"

“King Xiu was hit on the head by a crossbar and is still in a coma.”

Both of them were silent for a moment, and He Qingxiao said: "There were a lot of people present last night. I think it spread today. I'll go back and check the situation. If there are any unexpected developments, I'll contact you."

 This matter has nothing to do with He Qingxiao or Xin You. Of course, it only refers to the matter itself.

If the crossbar was knocked down by man, it would probably cause another **** storm; if it was a simple accident, some people would be punished. But it has nothing to do with the two people spending the Mid-Autumn Festival in the imperial mausoleum.

 As for the future impact, it will be subtle.

If King Xiu fails to wake up, the weight of "Mr. Xin" in the eyes of many people will be even greater. After all, the merits of a dead person will be in vain, and the opportunities of several young princes will also be greater.

If King Xiu is okay, then the eldest son of the emperor who saved the Queen Mother will undoubtedly have the Queen Mother's love and support from now on. You must know that the emperor is very filial to the queen mother, and the queen mother's attitude will inevitably affect the emperor's attitude.

He Qingxiao had these thoughts in her mind, and there was a hint of pity in her eyes when she looked at Xin You.

If it is the latter development, there will obviously be many obstacles for Miss Xin who wants to gain a foothold in the court as Mr. Xin.

What's more, even he can't see through King Xiu.

“Master He, which one is more likely to be accident or man-made?”

 This is something that concerns the Heavenly Family. If there are other people around, you should never ask this question. But the conversation didn't reach the third person's ears, so Xin You asked directly.

This is also the trust accumulated by traveling south together and living and dying together.

 “This can only be determined after investigation. As far as my intuition is concerned, an accident is more likely.”

 The biggest beneficiary of this incident is King Xiu, provided he can wake up safely. The incident happened in the palace. It was a bit strange for a prince who lived outside the palace and was not favored to stretch his hand so long.

"Master He, please go back quickly." Xin You trusted He Qingxiao's intuition.

This has nothing to do with beauty being in the eye of the beholder, but judging from the number of times Mr. He has encountered various accidents, if his intuition is not strong, they should not have a chance to get to know each other...

He Qingxiao nodded: "Then I'll go back to the city first."

Taking the reins held by Xiaoba, He Qingxiao got on the horse, clasped his fists at Xin You and rode away.

Xinyou stood for a long time, then silently turned around and walked back.

The mausoleum supervisor followed closely. "Prince Qin Ling, please go and do your work." Xin You said politely.

The mausoleum supervisors and other mausoleum guardians are almost passed down from father to son. From a certain perspective, it is relatively simple.

The light in the mausoleum supervisor's eyes went out: "Yes."

 He also thought about talking to Mr. Xin if he couldn't hold it in any longer.

 Sure enough, I think too much.

 Xiao Ba was not as reserved as the mausoleum supervisor. He approached Xin You and asked curiously: "Sir, what happened in the city? Will it affect us?"

“Something happened in the palace, it has no impact on us—” Xin You paused, with a slightly subtle look on his face.

 Even if King Xiu gets the support of the Queen Mother and gets that person's attention, it should not affect her in the short term. But for some reason, when she said this, she had a bad premonition.

Well, she is not Mr. He after all, so her intuition is not that accurate.

Xinyou looked up at the high, blue sky, and her heart gradually calmed down.

To many people, the life of guarding the mausoleum is boring, but for her, who has been running around after her mother's accident, it is a rare and peaceful life.

 She needed to stop for a moment before she had the courage to continue on that thorny road.

 He Qingxiao returned to Beizhen Fusi and learned more about it.

Most of the things that happened in the palace would be left to the people in the palace for investigation and resolution. However, there were many people present last night and the Queen Mother was almost hit. Emperor Xingyuan could not care so much. People from the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Works were involved, and together with the eunuchs in the palace, they carefully inspected the place where the accident occurred.

At this time, Emperor Xingyuan was listening to the report from the official responsible for the matter: "Reporting to Your Majesty, after inspection and discussion by ministers and others, it should be that the stones were loose and rolled down due to the rain this summer..."

 “So it's an accident?”

Facing the emperor's stern gaze, the official lowered his head slightly: "There are no human traces found so far."

Emperor Xingyuan pondered for a long time and exhaled: "Thank you for your hard work."

The stone hit the crossbar and the crossbar fell down again. It would be incredible if humans could control it to such an extent.

 On the contrary, it is an accident and never makes sense. It just happened, it just happened, it just happened, it just happened, it just happened, it just happened, it just happened, it just happened, it just happened, it just happened...

 Emotionally speaking, Emperor Xingyuan undoubtedly hoped it would be an accident. The ruthlessness of the Tian family is a truth summed up by looking at the past dynasties. The person sitting on the dragon throne can be ruthless himself, but he does not want others to be so.

"Check carefully." Emperor Xingyuan said, got up and went to the side hall where King Xiu was housed.

Even if it is an accident, there will definitely be people who are involved in the aftermath, such as those who are in charge, those who maintain improperly, those who handle Mid-Autumn Festival affairs, but Emperor Xingyuan's mentality is different.

The room was filled with the smell of medicine. King Xiu was lying on the canopy bed with his eyes closed, his head wrapped in layers of soft cloth.

 There was blood seeping out from the white soft cloth, making the young man on the bed look even more weak and pitiful.

Emperor Xingyuan stared at King Xiu's young face, and suddenly realized that his eldest son was only nineteen years old now, not even old enough to reach the crown.

　　He is indeed still a young man.

With this awareness, Emperor Xingyuan's long-standing indifference towards his eldest son softened.

There was movement behind him. Emperor Xingyuan turned around and saw the Queen Mother being supported by the maid.

 “Mother, why don't you have a good rest?”

"Aijia is not injured, why should we rest?" The Queen Mother glanced inside with a concerned look on her face, "Why hasn't Ping'er woke up yet?"
