I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man: 55. Free from crime
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters I am not such a man!
After saying a word, Qin Nuo calmed down instead. Since he started martial arts, he has become more and more aware of his ears and eyes. At this moment, he can clearly hear the exhalation of everyone around him. Without looking back, I can imagine the relief of everyone.
Qin Nuo wanted to laugh a little.
Although this time the guilt mainly lies with the maid, and even the only prince, his highness, would have such negligence, but the family guilt involved is not small. Especially looking at Queen Mother Huo's almost crazy cold eyes, wanting to get away safely, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
Seeing everyone's eyes fall on him. Qin Nuo stepped forward slowly, and most of the brocade boxes on the table were open, with a dazzling array of treasures.
They were all gifts from everyone this time. Qin Nuo stretched his hand over the brocade box, before he had time to pick up the golden unicorn collar and take a look. Suddenly a hand came over.
They are the two eunuchs who have been following him since just now. One of them reached out and stopped, while respectfully saying: "Master, this thing is of great importance,"
Obviously, the two of them did not touch, but they had a strong force that made him involuntarily withdraw his hand. Qin Nuo swept the **** in front of him. Looking young, martial arts is actually very good!
Instead of insisting on picking up the gold collar, Qin Nuo glanced carefully, and as expected, among the small golden bells on the edge of the gold collar, he found that one was missing.
Qin Ze suddenly said: "Nine brothers didn't mean it. It was mainly these slaves and maidservants. Even the prince was so negligent. It's incredible."
Unexpectedly, Qin Ze would intercede for himself, Qin Nuo gave him an unexpected look.
There was a moment of silence, and the prince next to Li also followed: "It is indeed the palace's duty to discuss this matter." He is the oldest in the existing clan.
The Queen Mother Huo had a sullen face and did not speak.
The atmosphere was stiff, and suddenly the court lady at the table exclaimed. She stared at the golden collar inside the brocade box, "What is this?"
Qin Nuo turned his head and looked at it. It was a fly that flew in from nowhere. It buzzed and circled twice in the room, and fell into the brocade box undeadly.
Unbiased, it was one of the little bells.
The maid in charge of looking after waved away, the fly flew up in shock, circled twice, and then fell down persistently.
The goal is still the little bell on the gold collar!
It seems that something on the little bell is attracting it.
The palace lady continued to drive her away, and she accidentally touched the golden collar in the brocade box, and suddenly exclaimed: "This bell... why is it a bit sticky?"
There was an imperial doctor who heard the sound next to him. After asking the Queen Mother Huo, he immediately stepped forward and observed for a while, then took a knife and gently scratched the bell a few times.
Two more imperial physicians came forward to help, they gathered together and looked at each other, extremely cautious.
After a while, an elderly imperial doctor knelt to the ground: "The queen mother, there is a layer of sugar glue on it, the surface is crystal clear, not conspicuous on the gold, the weather is a bit hot today, it melted a little ……"
For a while, the room was quiet, no one spoke, only the out-of-date fly buzzing and calling.
If the baby took the bell, it was a coincidence. It was the imperfect care of the palace man. The prince who gave the gift was just a careless mistake. Then there is sugar glue on the bell, and the situation is instantly complicated!
Glue sugar gum on a gift for a baby, especially small things that are easy to fall and eat by mistake. Among them...
The eyes that everyone looked at Qin Nuo suddenly changed. Could it be that this stupid prince in the legend would have that kind of thought!
Qin Nuo's gaze swept over everyone in front of him one by one, including the Queen Mother Huo with a heavy cloud in her eyebrows. There are also the flickering expressions, looking at the clan kings who are evasive and fearful. Among the crowd, probably only Qin Ze's eyes were bright and solemn, with a bit of worry.
Suddenly it feels funny. He was sure that, besides the Queen Mother Huo, the nobles in the temple today, he was the one who longed for the child to grow up safely and healthily, but now he was put in the position of the murderer.
What a sarcastic scene?
Who did it? It's a pity that everyone is an acting school, and you can't tell the truth from the expression!
With hesitant effort, Qin Ze continued to speak: "This kind of gold collar has always been customized in a jewelry workshop. Brother Jiu has a simple heart. Where can I know about sugar gum and other things? It is better to investigate the customized workshop first. Those craftsmen and servants who dealt with them were tortured and tortured."
My tenth brother, whether it is true or false, I really have to accept his favor.
Qin Nuo shook his head, temporarily giving up his plan to find the real murderer from his expression.
"Thank you ten brothers for believing in me, it's just..." Qin Nuo turned around, he first arched his hands at Qin Ze, then frowned and said to Empress Huo, "Mother, this thing is not a gift from me today. !"
There is silence again in the hall.
Qin Nuo sighed, he turned around the table, his face was puzzled.
"Hey, what did I give? Why didn't I see it?"
Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise. Qin Nuo scratched his hair and explained: "I originally wanted to give a gold collar, but thinking about it, this thing is too tacky, so I temporarily changed it. I wanted to wish the little prince an enterprising academic and an early enlightenment. Who knows? ......Sigh."
On the way into the palace today, he opened the box and inspected the gift. The gold collar is indeed very delicate. The two lifelike unicorns have a graceful movement. They are surrounded by golden pearls the size of the belly of a finger, and they are also embedded with gems of various colors. It's adorned with small bells.
The things commonly used by the children of the rich in this era are so cumbersome and cumbersome. What if a child wears it at the age of two or three and swallows the pearl gems on it? Qin Nuo from later generations naturally felt inappropriate, and thought of the tense atmosphere and situation now. After thinking about it, he simply took out the gold collar, but why not give it away?
It seems too late to prepare other gifts. Qin Nuo rolled his eyes and landed on the table.
Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are originally prepared in the carriage, so that the owner of the carriage can write something on the way. But Qin Nuo has never had such a hobby, so everything is new and he hasn't moved at all.
Qin Nuo directly took out the gold collar and stuffed it under the carriage, and then stuffed the set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table into the brocade box. Very good, the size is right. What's more, what I prepared on my carriage is top-quality, and it's not shabby as a gift.
"Take all the gifts you received today!" The Queen Mother Huo's voice contained thunder.
The lady of the court almost ran out. Not long after, a group of people entered the hall with dozens of brocade boxes.
Soon, the maid looking for gifts hurriedly knelt down in the middle of the hall holding another brocade box. Exactly the same packaging, open the brocade box, it really is a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Someone can't help but black lines on their faces. Give away the four treasures of a few months old baby's study! This Lord Chun can really think of it. Isn't this kind of thing all given to the students who are about to enlighten?
It's just that stupid people have stupid blessings, but he escaped.
"Then what's the matter with this golden collar?" Queen Mother Huo smirked.
The maids in charge of organizing the gifts all knelt down: "This...the servants don't even know it."
"I don't know." Queen Mother Huo gritted her teeth, the coldness in her eyes almost turned into a sword of frost and killed these people.
In a blink of an eye, the situation suddenly changed, and a palace storm rolled in the other direction.
The rest is beyond Qin Nuo's control.
Finally, Empress Dowager Huo still cared about her own face, and gave a cold glance at the clan in the palace: "You guys have worked hard tonight. Now that the little prince is in poor health, the banquet will end here."
Everyone naturally had no objection, and they quickly agreed and stepped back.
As soon as he left the house, Qin Nuo turned his head. In the gloomy palace, the Queen Mother Huo's face was covered with clouds, staring at the backs of everyone, like a beast that chose someone to eat.
In the distant depths, there was a faint cry of a baby, listening to it strangely and gloomily.
After leaving the palace, Qin Nuo felt confused and returned to the small square in the east with his attendants.
Fang Yuan around him suddenly reminded in a low voice: "Lord, Lord Shu is here."
Preparing to get into the carriage, Qin Nuo turned around and looked at it. As expected, Qin Xun's fat figure was running towards this side.
It's rare that he ran so fast, and he was in front of him in a blink of an eye.
Qin Nuo frowned, "Seventh brother, but there is something? My brother was shocked just now, and he didn't care about telling the tenth brother for you."
"There is no need to mention this." Qin Xun waved his hand out of breath, and then sighed: "Nine brothers, you are indeed a blessed person."
"I came to see you cheeky today, just to ask, what do you think about this matter today?"
Qin Nuo has no interest in acting either, and only calmly said: "My younger brother is in a state of anxiety and only feels he is escaping from the dead. Where else can I think about it?"
Qin Xun chuckled: "Brother I know. I didn't have time to intercede for you just now, but it was because my brother was also terrified. I really didn't react. Ninth brother, don't blame me. On the contrary, the tenth brother is so smart. I still don’t see how quick he reacts."
Qin Nuo did not speak.
Qin Xun will stop at the end, and will no longer dwell on this topic. Instead, he sighed: "There is also that golden collar, how can it be exactly the same as yours."
"Brother, I wonder too." Qin Nuo lowered his eyes.
Qin Xun said: "This matter can't be settled easily. What do you plan to do next, Brother Ninth? According to what the tenth brother said before, torture the craftsmen who made it? Ha, I didn't say it, I'm afraid that you will be a brother. Nothing is gained from labor."
Qin Nuo didn't speak. He knew very well that the craftsman who imitated the gold collar may not be the craftsman he customized. As long as he got the drawings and molds, anyone would be suspicious. Moreover, the golden collar has passed the hands of countless people from the time it was customized to when he was sent to the palace. It is impossible for him to torture all these people, and he may not be able to interrogate anything.
"This matter will naturally be handled by the palace, so why bother with you and me." He was a little impatient.
"That's how it is said, but this black pot is on your head, brother, don't you be angry."
"Naturally be angry, but my brother has no clue. My brother stays on his own and only earns a small amount of money. I don't think it will offend others."
"Hey, Brother Nine, you don’t know yet. The emperor’s body is afraid..." Qin Xun lowered his voice, "It won’t last for a few years. Even if I can hold on, if I want to have another prince, I’m afraid It’s also difficult."
Qin Nuo cooperated with a look of shock: "Seven brothers, don't talk nonsense. Brother Huang is in the prime of his life, and the wind is cold and weak for a while, how can it be..."
"How could I lie to you for such a major event." Qin Xun said solemnly, "The imperial doctor said it was a heart attack. There was no trace of this disease before, and the body was healthy, just like an ordinary person, but it was not subject to too heavy stimulation. Once the emotional ups and downs are excessive and the heart attack occurs, it will go down sharply. People with good luck do not have it until they are in their 50s or 60s, and those with bad luck may have the disease in their teens."
"This..." Qin Nuo still looked unbelievable.
"Brother, I secretly came up to tell you this, just to remind you, be careful not to be calculated by others. Alas, today’s matter. In fact, just think about it, if the little prince dies, to whom The most advantageous, you know. Alas, it's no wonder that the empress and her elderly suspect us." As he said, Qin Xun patted Qin Nuo meaningfully on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Who is best for?
Qin Xun really broke the key. The death of the little prince is beneficial to all three of them, and among them, Qin Ze is the most beneficial. Because he will become the support object of the Huo family, and the little prince is alive for a day, he is just the spare tire of the Huo family.
Just, is the truth so simple?
