"Does anyone know about this? Is the crown coming back?" Imperial Concubine Hui asked coldly.

"Niang, it's like this. Your Royal Highness gambled at a shop in West Market. Unexpectedly, the lady in that shop put the crown beads on her hairpin, and Princess Zhaoping saw it. The princess thought it was this one. The people in the shop stole the crown of His Majesty, and now they have been taken to the capital of Yin. His Royal Highness has sent someone to intercept, saying that the palace will ask the mother to take care of him. If someone wants to report this to your majesty, please ask the mother to stop him. under."

Imperial Concubine Hui's face sank in an instant, and the chest wrapped in Chinese clothes undulated. She placed the tea cup in her hand heavily on the table, "Is the crown gambling? Why is it so confused, I don't know the weight!? "

Qin Jiu's complexion condensed, and he said in amazement: "Manny, why is the crown actually from His Royal Highness Kang Yang King?"

Imperial Concubine Hui raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Why, did you know this?"

Qin Jiu got up and said: "Manny, I really know about this. On the day of the Weaving Festival, Princess Zhaoping saw that the piglet I embroidered was cute, so she asked me to embroider a sachet for her. I went to the West Market to select fabrics. When I met Princess Zhaoping, they chose fabrics together. Later, I saw that she had arrested the owner of the jewelry store because of the crown, but I never expected that the crown belonged to His Royal Highness Kang Yang King." She said the matter gently. Finally said annoyedly, "If I had known this, I should have stopped Princess Zhaoping."

Qin Jiu took the initiative to talk about the matter first. She took the initiative to say this kind of thing, which is different from the fact that Imperial Concubine Hui found out that she was with Princess Zhaoping afterwards.

Imperial Concubine Hui sighed, "You are not to blame for this. Who would have thought that he would gamble with his crown? Even this palace would not have thought of it. Now I just want to make up for it!" Although he was extremely angry, Imperial Concubine Hui also knew that the matter was serious, and she quickly calmed down.

"This matter, presumably Princess Zhaoping will not easily talk about it. Meng Huai, the capital of the capital, asked His Highness to send someone there. Although this matter is important, as long as it does not reach His Majesty, it is a small case. "Qin Jiu frowned.

Imperial Concubine Hui nodded, her blushing lips pursed, "You are right, this palace thinks so." She glanced at the little eunuch who bowed in front of her, and said decisively, "Kang Yang King is now in where?"

The little eunuch lowered his head and said: "The letter came and said that His Royal Highness had sent someone to stop the princess, and he planned to get the crown back from the princess and make the matter smaller."

Imperial Concubine Hui narrowed his eyes slightly, "That’s okay, you tell the person who is calling, let him reply to Kang Yang King, if he doesn’t stop the princess, let him go to Jingfu Yin to find Meng Huai, the palace’s Leave the matter to this palace."

The little eunuch went.

Qin Jiu got up and said, "Mother, why don't I go out to see Princess Zhaoping now. Your Royal Highness has lost the crown. If you become impatient, if you can't convince Zhaoping, I'm afraid he will be tough."

Imperial Concubine Hui nodded when he heard the words, and said bitterly: "He knows he is impatient now. Okay, Jiu'er, let's go. It's better to let Zhaoping misunderstand that the crown was stolen by those two people, otherwise, I'm afraid Zhaoping will not promise to hide this."

Qin Jiu Yingying gave a salute, "I know." She was about to retreat, and the chief eunuch of Jingxiu Palace reported to the outside: "Niang, I heard that Princess Zhaoping had something wrong, your majesty heard that she was furious."

When Imperial Concubine Hui heard the words, the tea cup in his hand shook, and he was about to spill the tea. "What's the matter?" Although he tried his best to stabilize his voice, his voice couldn't help being raised and sharp.

Qin Jiu knew in his heart that Loquat must have arranged for someone to go and kidnap Wang Hu and Shuangyu, which aroused Princess Zhaoping's suspicion. Zhaoping should have asked Wang Hu and Shuangyu to know the truth.

The chief eunuch said: "I heard that Princess Zhaoping escorted two culprits to the capital of Yin, but was assassinated on the road. It happened that Commander Yuan passed by and saved the princess."

Imperial Concubine Hui turned pale with anger, threw the tea cup to the ground, got up and said, "Where is your majesty now?"

"Your Majesty is now asking Yuan Da Commander in the Imperial Study Room!"

Imperial Concubine Hui's face was like frost, his chest was constantly rising and falling, obviously he was thinking fiercely, and finally his brows condensed, and he stood up and said: "Jiu'er, you don't have to stop Zhaoping anymore. Come with me to see your Majesty! I hope Yuan Ba ​​doesn't know anything." As he said, he hurried away.

Qin Jiu followed the Imperial Concubine Hui, heading to the Imperial Study Room together. Outside the Imperial Study Room, saw the eunuchs standing outside with solemn faces, and the atmosphere suddenly felt tense. The chief eunuch Li Ying saw Imperial Concubine Hui and Qin Jiu, went in to report, and led them in.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Qing looked pale and coughed constantly after sitting on the Dragon Case, obviously very angry. Prime Minister Su and Yu Taifu are sitting at the head of the Long case, and apparently they have just been discussing matters.

Yuan Ba ​​stood solemnly under his head.

Imperial Concubine Hui couldn't help but screamed badly. Emperor Qing glanced at Imperial Concubine Hui coldly, and said solemnly: "Imperial Concubine Hui, you are here just right, you take my prince to teach you really good!"

Imperial Concubine Hui knelt down on her skirt and said with a horrified expression: "The concubine doesn't know what Min'er has done, which caused your majesty to be furious, so please make it clear."

Emperor Qing smiled coldly, "Are you still pretending to not know? Then what are you doing in a hurry to see me?"

Imperial Concubine Hui whispered: "The concubine was very worried when she heard that Princess Zhaoping had something to do, so she came over and have a look."

"I don't know that you care about Princess Zhaoping so much, but I will tell you that Zhao Pingping was kidnapped. If it weren't for the leader of Yuan Da to pass by in time, I might not have seen the princess. It was the one who came to snatch the crown and was almost injured. The princess, and the crown in the hands of the princess belongs to Min'er."

Imperial Concubine Hui's heart shuddered, but Yan Min didn't expect Yan Min to come hard. She argued: "Your Majesty, although the crown belongs to Min'er, the person who snatches the crown may not necessarily be sent by Min'er. Min'er will never treat the princess in this way. That is her sister! Please, your majesty. check."

Emperor Qing snorted heavily.

The chief eunuch Li Ying reported to the outside world that Kang Yang King had seen him.

"Let him in!" Emperor Qing said coldly.

Yan Min walked in quickly, and when he saw the battle in the house, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly knelt in the underground: "The son of the minister knocks on his father."

Emperor Qing snorted, "You still have my father in your eyes? Look, what is this?" Emperor Qing pointed to the crown on the dragon case.

That was Yan Min's crown, which was about to fall to the ground during the snatch, a bit torn apart.

Yan Min's face became stiff, and he lowered his head and said, "Given my father, it is the crown of a child minister."

Emperor Qing sneered, his eyes stern and frightening, "You still recognize it?"

Yan Min looked apprehensive, with tears in his eyes, "Father, the son is convicted, but the son has not kept the crown, please forgive me!"

"You are talking about how your crown got to the jeweler. If you are right, I will forgive you." Qing Emperor Qing's eyes are bright and dark, making Yan Min unable to guess his mind. . But it is absolutely impossible for him to admit that he lost the crown by gambling. He knelt on the ground, his brows condensed slightly, apparently thinking about countermeasures, and said in a sad voice: "This crown, Erchen has always been carefully kept. That day, the top pearl on the crown was loose, so he sent it to the jewelry store. Inlay, I was going to retrieve it tomorrow."

"Really? Did you send someone to grab the crown?" Emperor Qing asked coldly.

"There is absolutely no Erchen!" Yan Min said decisively.

Emperor Qing said nothing, staring at Yan Min coldly, "I also hope that what you said is true." After saying this, he closed his eyes and said nothing.

The royal study room fell into silence. After a long time, heard Li Ying report to Qin Feifan from the Criminal Department.

Qin Jiu frowned, wondering why the durian was involved. At the opening of the door curtain, Durian walked in quickly, dressed in official uniform. After bowing down, Emperor Qing asked, "Qin Aiqing, is it clear?"

Durian reported: "Your Majesty, the matter has been cleared by the ministers. Wang Hu's shop not only sells jewelry, but also has a gambling game. Wang Hu's gambling skills are very high. He uses his wife to bet, and the other party asks to bet with jewelry. According to him, on May 3, a young man of Chinese clothes came to his shop, looked at his wife, and put the finger on his finger down, but lost to him. Later, this young man of Chinese clothes I gambled once a day, mostly at night, and every bet brought was a rare treasure. Until May 8th, Wang Hu felt that he had won too much jewelry for the Chinese costume boy, so he wanted to stop. , He said that he was no longer interested in the jewelry of Mr. Huafu, and he didn’t want to gamble anymore. Unexpectedly, that Mr. Huafu didn’t give up and brought a jade crown full of pearls the next day. He didn’t know him. This was a crown, thought it was an ordinary jade crown. His wife liked the pearls on the jade crown so much, so he agreed to bet for the last time. He really didn’t expect this to be the crown of Kang Yang King. If he knew it, he I won't remove the crown and set it on the golden hairpin."

Emperor Qing coughed violently, pointing at Yan Min and speechless.

Durian said again: "The minister has already sent someone to the shop and brought over the jewels and other jewelry mentioned by Wang Hu. Please take a look." Durian said, and then took Yan Min's loss in the shop. The tall coral trees, jade bracelets, jade pendants and other items were handed over to Li Ying.

Li Ying held it to the Long Case.

Emperor Qing finally stopped his cough, picked up the jewels that Li Ying had presented, and looked at it one by one, his face already turned blue.

"Niezi, do you still say you sent the beads to the shop?" His fingers trembled, and he took up the finger. "This jade finger was given to you when you were fifteen. Could it be that you also gave this The piece was sent to the jewelry shop to be inlaid with beads? This one..." Emperor Qing picked up another jade pendant, "If I remember correctly, this jade pendant was given to your mother and concubine at the beginning, and your mother and concubine left it again. Here you are, this is the relic of your mother and concubine. Could it be that this is also the one you sent to the shop to inlay the beads? This one..." Emperor Qing reached out for the coral tree, but couldn't move it because his fingers trembled, just pointing Coral tree said, "Does this coral tree also use beads? You tell me, where do you want to inlay?"

The royal study room was silent for a while, only Emperor Qing's implied angry voice.

Everyone in the house has different faces.

Yan Min's face was already white as paper, and cold sweat came out on his forehead. He had originally thought that no matter what was found out, he would insist on sending the beads to inlay. Unexpectedly, this durian had collected these jewels, and suddenly there was nothing to say.

Imperial Concubine Hui's face turned pale, the corners of his lips were pressed tightly, and the look of the general situation in his eyes was obvious. Taifu Yu's face was cold, his brows furrowed tightly, and he obviously didn't believe that the dignified prince actually participated in the gambling. Prime Minister Su's face is calm, but if you look closely, you can see that the corners of his lips are slightly hooked. Yuan Ba's face was expressionless, just a sharp glance at Yan Min.

Qin Jiu glanced at the durian, but when he saw that he didn't look at her, his face was as calm as waves and his eyes were solemn. She feels that since coming to Lijing, the changes in durians have become more and more significant. He is no longer the ignorant young man at the beginning. Although there is no order from him for today's affairs, he is doing very well.

Emperor Qing said sentence by sentence. In the end, the anger in his tone was already extremely strong. With a sudden force, he swept down the jewels on the Dragon Case and Yan Min's crown together.

A dazzling array of jewels fell on the ground one by one, and when they contacted the ground, they made a crisp sound. The coral tree shattered, and the remaining six top beads on the crown also fell down, leaping unwillingly on the ground.

Inside the imperial study room, there was a constant ding-ding-dong-dong.

At the end, when it finally fell silent.

Yan Minsu was like a chill, bowed his head to the ground, and cried: "Father, it's not filial piety, please calm down your anger!"

When everyone saw this, they all knelt to the ground, and Qin Jiu also knelt down with them, saying in unison: "Your majesty, calm down!"

Li Ying hurriedly stepped forward to support Emperor Qing and said: "Your Majesty, you must take care of the dragon body!"

Qin Jiu knew very well that Emperor Qing could not calm down his anger.

Yan Min can lose his crown by gambling now, and he can lose his country by gambling in the future. What's more, this bet also involves the bet on women. For a woman, lost his crown. Besides, there is also Zhaoping. Emperor Qing would never send anyone to try to find out if someone from the Yan Min faction robbed Zhaoping of the crown, because even if it wasn't for Yan Min, his throne could not be kept. If it is found out that he did it, what's the face of Emperor Qing, his prince almost hurt his princess for the crown.

Since this crown Yan Min himself is not rare, Qing Emperor naturally would not give it again. On the second day, Emperor Qing made an order to cut off Yan Min's throne. Since then, Yan Min has no more chance to fight for the crown.

This incident shocked Manchao.

The people of Tianchen Sect wanted to speak for Yan Min, but they couldn't find a reason to convince Emperor Qing.

－－－－－－Off-topic －－－－－－

There are minor changes in the previous chapter.

It was Qin Jiu who expected that Yan Min would go to hijack Princess Zhaoping's carriage to escort Wang Hu and Shuangyu. But don't think it's appropriate, because this matter only needs to be explained clearly with Zhaoping, and then he can return to the crown. Yan Min doesn't need to be so stupid to hijack it. So it was changed to Qin Jiu to blame. The following are the two revised sentences: The crown is no better than other jewels. After Yan Min loses, he should prevent Wang Hu and Shuangyu from leaving with the treasure, so here should be Has his eyeliner. If he knew that Zhaoping would send Wang Hu and Shuangyu to Jingfu Yin, and stopped Zhaoping on the way to explain that the matter was going to return to the crown, the plan would be difficult to implement.

Qin Jiu squinted suddenly and said to the loquat: "Loquat, you quickly send someone to pretend to kidnap Wang Hu and Shuangyu. Send Xiaoqi to the rescue."
