[R18] Dali Temple.Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1) – “Dali Temple. Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1)” Chapter 82 Conditions [English]

The sun gradually rose, revealing a round head on the window lattice, like a naughty peeking doll.

The tea on the table has cooled down, leaving a circle of thin water droplets on the mouth of the cup, rolling down along the wall of the cup, creating a little ripple.

Lin Wanqing sat obediently at the bottom, twisting the corner of the shawl on her shoulders into a twist with her delicate white fingers.

She raised her eyes from time to time, secretly glancing at the Queen Mother who was sitting upright, feeling her own heartbeat filling her ears.

There was a rustling sound in the back room, and after waiting for a while, Su Moyi came out wearing a moon-white robe.

He first bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother with a calm expression, and then his eyes fell on Lin Wanqing on the side.

She seemed to have climbed directly out of bed. In her panic, she only managed to put on a robe and a shawl. Underneath was a plain white nightgown that reached her chest. The large area of snow-white chest was still exposed, dotted with red marks…

“Ahem…” Su Moyi put her fist to her lips, coughed twice, walked over, and put a thick cloak in her hand on her body.With a calm and businesslike look, he sat next to Lin Wanqing, acting naturally and appropriately.

Lin Wanqing looked at he, not knowing whether to ask for help or give in first, her eyes were complicated for a moment.

“Hmph…” The Queen Mother, who had been watching the show for a long time, finally couldn’t help but snorted coldly. She raised her hand to ask for new tea and said casually: “Doesn’t anyone want to give the Ai family an explanation for this matter?”

Lin Wanqing was stunned.

According to her status, it is not her turn to speak on this issue where she is not named.Moreover, it is still open to debate which incident the Queen Mother refers to by “this matter”, and Lin Wanqing did not dare to speak rashly.

But when she looked at Su Moyi aside, she found that Mr. Su was sipping tea with his head down and had no intention of speaking at all.

The atmosphere became strange and tense for a while.

Lin Wanqing swallowed and was about to explain.Suddenly, someone tugged on her sleeve from her side.

She looked over blankly, only to see Mr. Su sitting upright with a solemn expression, expressionless.But just now, the big palm quietly reached into her wide sleeve, found her hand, and started to break her fingers one by one.

One, two, three, four, five, five fingers.

Lin Wanqing was confused.

“Water,” Mr. Su raised the tea cup in his hand and said to the maid present.

Obviously those words were not meant for her, but after staying with Master Su all year round, she still had the awareness she should have.She and Mr. Su had never cooperated too many times on this matter of conveying information under the eyes of the “enemy”.

Therefore, as soon as Su Moyi said the word “water”, Lin Wanqing understood it immediately.

Mr. Su is negotiating terms with her.

Sleep five times, he saves her.

Lin Wanqing was so angry that her teeth itched with hatred.

So she tried to bend her thumb and index finger back and paid the price.

Mr. Su sneered and shook his head to take back his hand.

Lin Wanqing immediately grabbed He, gritted his teeth and straightened his index finger.

Su Moyi sighed, dissatisfied, and stretched his fingers into her palm, scratched her gently, and straightened her thumb.

Lin Wanqing: “…” Well, Mr. Su is really good at practicing favoritism and raising prices…

Without a bargaining chip in hand, Lin Wanqing had no choice but to let others take advantage of her.So she nodded, quite bearing the humiliation.

Su Moyi was happy and put the tea cup in her hand on the low table beside her, making a clanging sound.

The Queen Mother indeed raised her head.

Su Moyi cleared her throat pretendingly, and said lightly to the Queen Mother: “What the Imperial Grandmother saw just now was actually tied up by her grandson himself last night.”

Confident, determined, and beyond doubt, like a verdict in a court of law.

“…” Lin Wanqing suspected that this person probably didn’t want to help her.

She felt uneasy and felt sweat on her back. When she secretly raised her eyes to look at the Queen Mother, she found that her face was not as ugly as she imagined.There was no anger at being teased in the slightly frowned brows, but a hint of helpless worry.

She then gave Lin Wanqing a cold look, and after a while, she ordered someone to take her down.

Lin Wanqing looked at Su Moyi in disbelief, and then followed the palace servants to retreat obediently.

Everyone left, and the main hall was empty.

Su Moyi sat up straight, turned to the Queen Mother and said, “Ask the Queen Mother whatever you want to ask.”

The attitude is quite magnanimous.

However, the Queen Mother felt a throbbing pain in her temples when she looked at the red marks left on his neck and wrists.

She then stretched out her hand to rub it, moved her eyes away, pointed at Su Moyi’s neck with disgust and said, “Cover up the Ai family. How unbecoming is Meng Lang like this?”

Su Moyi’s ears turned slightly red, and she lowered her head to tidy up quickly. Then she heard the Queen Mother coldly snort: “You tied yourself up? You can tie yourself up like that, and the Ai family really believes in your evil deeds.”

Su Moyi smiled and said, “Nothing can be hidden from the eyes of the Imperial Grandmother.”

The queen mother was so angry that her throat went dry because of his indifferent expression.

She suddenly remembered that when she introduced Wei Shu to him before, this person told her personally, “As a prison official, if you make a mistake, you are wrong. If you make a mistake, you cannot accept it.”

It would be better now to tell lies directly.

But the good grandson she raised has to protect her when he has a son, so what can she do?

So the Queen Mother patted her chest, calmed herself down, and said: “Dignified Minister of Dali Temple, what do you think this is?”

“Grandma is wrong,” Su Moyi said in a calm tone, with respect and a smile, “The person sitting here talking to grandma now is not the Minister of Dali Temple, but Jing Che, your grandson…”

He paused for a moment, with a glint in his eyes. When he looked out, his tone became a little softer, “He is also her future husband.”

The Queen Mother was startled and her expression became serious.

“Have you thought about it?” she asked.

“My grandson has never hesitated.”

This sentence caused a moment of silence. After a while, the Queen Mother asked: “Regarding the Xiao family case, your letter said…”

“Regarding the case of my mother’s injury, my grandson has already written to me earlier. The Xiao family may have been wronged. I hope the imperial grandmother will take time to find out.”

The Queen Mother stopped talking after hearing this. After a long while, she sighed leisurely.She waved her hand towards Su Moyi and said: “The Ai family dares to say no to something that the emperor agrees with? It’s just…”

She looked up, her eyes a little confused, as if she had fallen into some memory, and after a moment she said: “Queen… If it was really she, Anyang would be so sad…”

Su Moyi knew what the Queen Mother was referring to.

Empress Chen and his mother had known each other since they were young, and they had been each other’s close friends when they were young. There was a five-year age difference between the two, and she had always loved Empress Chen as her younger sister.

Therefore, Empress Chen said at that time that Princess Anyang asked to exchange cars with her because she cared about the hardships of her pregnancy. Everyone believed her.

Because of this, after Princess Anyang’s accident, no one suspected Empress Chen.

Perhaps no one thought that the evil of human nature could reach this far.

The Queen Mother remained silent, her usually clear eyes filled with gloom, and she turned sideways and tightly grabbed the tea cup at hand.

On the other side, Queen Chen, who returned to Shengjing with the Queen Mother, looked at the ruins along the way, feeling uneasy in her heart.

She went straight back to Chenghuan Hall and sent the wet nurse to inquire about the news.

There was an earth dragon burning in the house, and it was full of warmth, but it couldn’t stop the chill on my back.The sound of palace people removing ice and sweeping came from outside the house, rustling like tiny thorns scratching on the apex of the heart.

As a gust of biting cold wind blew in, Queen Chen turned around and saw the wet nurse returning with a chill on her face and a solemn look on her face.

She listened to the wet nurse’s narration with a cold face and broke into a cold sweat.

After last night, everyone in the government and the public knew that such a big thing as Prince Liang’s rebellion was no longer a secret.

Before, she only knew that King Liang and Song Zhengxing colluded to mine private mines. She thought they were just seeking profit, but she never imagined that they were so ambitious and so bold.

Therefore, when Liang Wang placed Wei Shu next to her, he did not just use the marriage of the “concubine” to win over the power in the court for himself, but he openly placed a spy next to her and the emperor in the inner palace.

“Wei Shu…” The queen suddenly thought of something and asked with a pale face, “Wei Shu… did you participate in Prince Liang’s plan this time?”

The wet nurse hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: “Yes, the King of Liang ordered her to poison His Majesty, and she was captured on the spot.”

“What…” The queen was stunned and muttered: “But…but I am in the palace, why didn’t I hear any news?”

“Not only does the empress not know about it, but no one in the government or the public knows about it either.” The wet nurse said, “His Majesty even pretended to want to block the news after being poisoned. He secretly announced that the imperial doctor would come to the palace for treatment for several days, just to lure King Liang to the capital and catch the turtle in the urn.”

“Then…” The queen reacted and grabbed the nanny’s finger, which turned pink. “As the commander of the Nanya Imperial Army, Yan’er did not participate in the rebellion of King Liang, right?”

“This…” The wet nurse looked embarrassed when she heard this, and said, “Young Master was suspended before King Liang came to Beijing.”

“Why?”

“Because…” The nanny gritted her teeth and said, “Because of the incident involving the Xiao family daughter, the Jinwu Guards had a head-on conflict with Dali Temple. His Majesty later used this as an excuse to suspend the young master from his post as a punishment.”

“The Xiao family…” The queen murmured in a daze, but she heard the nanny say: “The emperor has handed over the case to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, allowing Prince Su to investigate it strictly.”

“That is to say…” The queen paused and wanted to ask, but she couldn’t come up with a single word between her lips and teeth.

Now that the matter has come to this, what else is there to ask?

If she had nothing to do with Prince Liang’s rebellion, Wei Shu’s involvement could be excused as being instigated by someone else. She had no knowledge from beginning to end, but Chen Yan was suspended from office, the Queen Mother deliberately brought her to the palace, and she was called a chaperone but was actually under house arrest. In addition, the Xiao family suddenly reversed the case…

Everything has already shown Emperor Yonghui’s distrust of her and the Chen family.

The serious crime of treason, once committed, will implicate the nine clans and kill the whole family.Now that the emperor is standing still, I am afraid he just hasn’t figured out how to break up with the Chen family.

The sweeping outside the hall continued, rustling like rodents lurking in the dark, gnawing away at flesh and blood bit by bit.

When you peel off the flesh and see the bones, you cannot escape the cause and effect in the end.

Queen Chen sat stunned for a while, then stood up and opened the door of Chenghuan Hall.

The scenery in winter is always desolate.The sky is blue and the road is gray.The ninety-nine steps leading directly to the main hall were stained with the remaining snow from last night and were wet and mottled.

The nanny’s footprints remained on the steps, leading all the way to her feet and stopping there.

“Do you believe in cause and effect?” The queen suddenly laughed, her laughter mixed with desolation and helplessness, as well as a sense of relief.

She walked these ninety-nine steps for so many years and finally arrived here.

But when she suddenly turned around, she realized that the first step she took to lift her foot was in the wrong place.

——————

Currently, I have three core plots in mind for the extra story: Mr. Su’s promotion of husband gang, Mr. Su’s coaxing of his wife, and Mr. Su’s raising of buns;

Qingqing’s perspective is: settling accounts with Mr. Su (all kinds of injuries + blind date), crying with Mr. Su (depressed mood due to pregnancy), confronting Mr. Su (disagreement with Baozi)
