It doesn't matter if a few people get off the car, or if they don't get off the car, they just wait.
Su Yongzhang asked curiously, "Grandpa Liu, who is Princess Qingkang?"
Liu Laosan replied with a serious face: "Princess Qingkang is the youngest daughter of the Ninth Prince. She is married to Taifu Zhao's son and is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhao family. Strange! What happened? Could it be that Zhao Qinghe is here? Was she discovered that she was secretly raising a woman outside?
hiss! That’s not right! If this kind of thing happened, Princess Qingkang should go to her father. Why go to the palace to find the emperor? Could it be that the Zhao family wants to divorce his wife? ”
The more the three children listened, the more black lines appeared on their foreheads.
Shen Congrong pulled Liu Laosan's sleeve, "Grandpa, she's in, should we get out of the car?"
Liu Laosan came to his senses and quickly took the three children down.
Princess Qingkang cried all the way to the royal study, knelt in front of the emperor and kowtowed vigorously, "I beg the emperor to redress my grievances for my little daughter!"
The emperor's expression changed slightly, "Qingkang, please tell me what you have to say. What happened?"
Princess Qingkang still couldn't kneel down and choked: "Your Majesty, our little girl Furong went to the palace yesterday and ate a few golden silk cakes and then suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. She died early this morning!"
"Hiss!" The emperor and his father-in-law looked at each other, both shocked.
The father-in-law said with fear: "I remember that Miss Zhao did enter the palace yesterday to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, but the two palaces did not announce the golden silk cake yesterday! Miss Zhao was not allowed to eat in the palace, how could Miss Zhao eat it? Something happened to the golden cake?”
Princess Qingkang immediately asked her maid Zhu Sha to come forward and reply.
Zhusha was trembling all over, threw herself on the ground, noticed the sharp gaze above her head, and said tremblingly: "Miss Shen got it from Mr. Shen when she passed by the Academy when she left the palace yesterday."
"Which Mr. Shen?" There was no emotion or anger in the emperor's voice.
Princess Qingkang gritted her teeth and replied: "It's Shen Congrong, the grandson of Marquis Yong'an!"
"How could Shen Congrong have gold cakes?" The emperor suddenly found something suspicious.
Cinnabar couldn't answer.
In order to find out about this matter, the emperor asked the queen mother, empress and Shen Congrong to be found.
At this moment, Liu Laosan was sitting in the Academy of Expertise, looking at Qi Guanshi and others coldly. He was a general who had been on the battlefield. As soon as he became so imposing, the old fritters in the Academy of Expertise all sat on pins and needles. They were angry and anxious, but no one dared to take the lead.
When the father-in-law came over, he saw this scene and was stunned for a moment, "Master Hou, why did you suddenly think of becoming a errand at the College of Physicians?"
Liu Laosan seemed to have found the person to complain, and dragged his father-in-law to complain, "These people are indifferent! They bullied the children and let them starve for a day. Father-in-law, do you think I should ask the emperor for an explanation?" ”
Manager Qi was in a hurry and quickly defended, "Master Hou, there were too many things going on in the Polytechnic Academy yesterday, and no one paid attention to them. They didn't come to get food when it was time. We couldn't see them and didn't even think about it. , It’s not that the official is deliberately making things difficult!”
"Hmph! You can keep this kind of nonsense to fool yourself!" Liu Laosan clenched his fist angrily, but did not calm down because of what Manager Qi said.
The father-in-law hurriedly said: "Master Marquis, don't worry about this for now, something happened! Princess Qingkang's youngest daughter Zhao Furong is dead, and the emperor wants to see Master Shen."
Liu Laosan's expression changed greatly, and he quickly held Shen Congrong in his arms, "What does it have to do with my grandson if Princess Qingkang's daughter dies?"
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully. The father-in-law glanced at Shen Congrong and said: "Zhu Sha, the maid next to Miss Zhao, said that Miss Zhao was poisoned and died after eating the golden silk cake given by Mr. Shen. Now Princess Qingkang is seeking redress of grievances from the emperor!"

Shen Congrong looked at Xiong Feng in shock.
Xiong Feng immediately stepped forward and said with a white face: "Father, I was also present at what happened yesterday. Can I go with Conong Rong?"
"Let's go, let's go! Anyone who knows is going to leave together!" The father-in-law looked anxious and led the people out of the Academy quickly.
Manager Qi listened to the discussions of the people beside him and broke out in a cold sweat on such a cold day.
Others didn't know, but he knew that yesterday he had received instructions from his superiors and specially collected food from Shen Congrong and the others to make them hungry. But he really didn't know about the golden silk cake, just in case the emperor pursued it
Manager Qi didn't dare to think deeply, so he could only pray secretly that the matter would not involve him.
At this time, Shen Congrong and others entered the imperial study room under the leadership of their father-in-law.
Everyone's eyes fell on Shen Congrong. Seeing that he was gentle and handsome, they really couldn't connect him with doing harm to others.
The Queen Mother said suspiciously: "Qingkang, are you mistaken? This is a child. What did he do to Furong? And this child only entered the palace for the first time yesterday!"
Princess Qingkang cried so hard that her heart broke, "The Queen Mother clearly knows that my daughter is dead, and I just want to redress the injustice for my daughter. I will not wrong anyone, but I will never let go of the murderer of Furong! Wuwuwu"
Liu Laosan immediately knelt down and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, my grandson is indeed unjust! He just came to the imperial capital and took up his post for the first time yesterday. He is a stranger to Miss Zhao and has no grudges. He...he There is no reason to harm anyone!”

Not to mention Liu Laosan's disbelief, even Princess Qingkang doubted what Zhu Sha said after seeing Shen Congrong.
The emperor's eyes fell sharply on Shen Congrong, and he said calmly, "Shen Congrong, tell me, what's going on with the golden silk cake?"
Shen Calmly bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, after Wei Chen arrived at the Academy yesterday, no one took care of him. After noon, Wei Chen went out hungry to find food. No food was found in the Academy, so Wei Chen had to go with him. Brother Xiong Feng walked out of the College of Ph.D.
As soon as they reached the corner, they met a young eunuch. He was carrying a food box and called to Wei Chen. He said that inside was a gold silk cake gifted by the emperor, which he had specially reserved for Wei Chen.
Wei Chen didn't understand, and before he could refuse, the golden silk cake was snatched away by the maid next to Miss Zhao.
Miss Zhao scolded Wei Chen, saying that Wei Chen was not worthy of eating the golden silk cake, and ate a piece in front of Wei Chen and brother Xiong Feng, and took away the rest of the cakes. Wei Chen and the other three had nothing but tea in the palace yesterday. I haven't eaten anything. Please tell me. ”
Liu Laosan nodded hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I, and the servants in the mansion can all testify that these three children went home yesterday as if they were starving to death. Each of them ate three large bowls of rice.
The minister was also too angry after understanding the situation, so he entered the palace with them today. ”
Princess Qingkang's face turned pale, she shook her head angrily, her tears were like broken beads.
"You're talking nonsense! How could my Furong say something like that! Do something like that! She's already dead, and you still want to slander her like this! What's your intention?"
Shen Congrong said calmly: "Madam, what I said are all facts, and I have no intention of slandering Miss Zhao."
Xiong Feng on the side replied with a white face: "In fact, Miss Zhao scolded her more harshly yesterday, but she just calmly didn't say it out loud."
"What did she curse?" the queen asked. (End of chapter)
