Lafa's Sleeping Palace

Ertai went straight into Lafayette's room

At this time, Lord Lafayette was wearing a milky white silky clothes, half lying on the bed, with his legs curled up, and his toes were flexible inwardly buckled, which made the whole miraculous figure more and more concave. Since Lord Lafayette was facing away from Ertai, his beautiful snow buttocks were raised high, and the pajamas were just a thin layer, you could vaguely see the purple pants and wonderful buttocks inside.

Such a beautiful scenery makes Ertai's throat feel a little dry

Qing'er sat next to Lord Lafayette, full of joy, raised her white wrist gracefully, and her delicate little jade hand bent into a fist, gently slapped on Lord Lafayette's back

Seeing Ertai come in, Qing'er turned around, opened her red lips lightly, and smiled at Ertai.

Yoshimi Ah

Ertai exclaimed in his heart, Qing'er is really a beauty, especially when he looks back and smiles, he is really captivating to the extreme.

However, because of the fact that the Lord Lafayette was here, Ertai quickly returned to his usual expression, even with a little seriousness, then stepped forward, slapped the horse's hooves, and half-kneeled to pay tribute.

Forte, please invite the Lafayette Jin An, Qing Ge Ge auspicious

After the salute, Lord Lao Fu ordered Qing'er, Qing'er, you go down first, Ai's family wants to talk to Ertai alone

Yes, Mr. Lao Fu

Qing'er quickly stood up and respectfully bowed to Lao Fu. Then she walked out of the door gracefully and gently brought the door. Before closing the door, Qing'er smiled at Ertai who was looking at her.

Ertai secretly blinked at Qing'er

Seeing Qing'er exit from the room, the old Buddha, who was half lying on the bed, turned his eyes to Ertai, pointed to a square stool next to him, and said, Ertai, let's sit down.

Ertai quickly said, "Thank you," then lifted up the hem of his trousers and skirts, sat on the square stool with a golden knife, and then looked at the Lord of Buddha, waiting for Lord of Buddha's questions.

Ertai, how did the matter be investigated?

Lafa asked seriously

Go back to Lord Lafayette, the matter was found out. According to the confession of the Empress's girl Huazhi, the persimmon cake you ate was sent by the Empress. As for the poisonous content, Huazhi was not aware of it.

Ertai said seriously

What? Is it the queen instructed? Why did she harm the Ai family? The Ai family doesn't believe it. As we all know, the queen is the niece of the Ai family, and she has no reason to harm the Ai family

After hearing Ertai's reply, Lord Lafayette frowned, his face full of disbelief.

In fact, not only did the Lord Lafayette not believe it, but even Ertai himself did not believe that the Queen would harm Lafayette. Let’s put aside the relationship between Lafayette and the Queen. Just from the perspective of interest relations, if it were not for the support of Lafayette, the Queen would not be the Queen at all, let alone be able to call the wind and rain in the harem.

Therefore, the queen will not only not harm the Lord Lady, but will also protect the Lord Lady. If someone is found to harm the Lord Lady, the queen will not forgive him. The Lord Lady naturally knows this, so she asserted that the Queen will never harm her.

Of course Ertai also knew that Lao Fu would not believe that the queen was the mastermind with just a maid's confession. However, Ertai's opponent was not the queen. At this time, he proposed the queen, but he was just throwing a big fish. What he really wanted to get rid of was the old witch Rong Mama, but Rong Mama was the empress's wet nurse and confidant. Lao Fu picked up the queen and punished Rong Mama again, he would definitely be afraid of the mouse and might not be cruel and severely punished. Ertai understood this and asked Huazhi to perjure and said that the queen was the mastermind. In this way, the queen herself was forced to be involved in this matter and became the "suspect", so she naturally could not defend and plead for Rong Mama.

Even if the old Buddha is kind-hearted and forgives the queen and Rong Mama and punishes them lightly, in order to block Youyou's mouth, he will naturally not punish a maid too much. Of course, the little girl Huazhi's life will be saved.

In this way, even if the queen and Rong Mama escaped this disaster, they would be seriously injured. It would be difficult to pose a threat to Concubine Ling and Ertai in a short period of time. At the same time, they also saved Huazhi's life. By the way, Huazhi could make her feel grateful and gain her loyalty.

In the end, I was able to gain the trust of Lord Lafayette through this matter. After all, Ertai was just a small imperial guard. It was found that the mother of the dynasty wanted to harm Lord Lafayette. Even if the crime of the crime of inflicting the crime was not established, she still dared to report it according to the truth. What a mind, courage and loyalty to Lord Lafayette. Therefore, it is unknown that he became Lord Lafayette's direct confidant. He was a good way to win three goals in one fell swoop.

Ertai stood up and said, "Old Buddha, whether Huazhi's confession is credible or not remains to be investigated, but according to the opinions of the empress, Huazhi should not know that the persimmon cake is poisonous, she was just used by someone.

oh?

Lord Lafayette was aroused by Ertai's answer and asked with a raised eyebrows. The Ai family is interested in knowing, how can you determine that Huazhi is not aware of it.

Humph, of course I know, because the person who instructed her is me

Ertai thought to himself, but he said, "Go back to Lao Fu, there are three reasons, but they are all speculations from the ministers, and they can't count them."

It's okay, you just talk nonsense, Ai's aunt listens nonsense

Lafa waved his hand and signaled Ertai to continue

Yes, Mr. Lao Fu

Ertai bowed slightly to Lord Lady, and then said, "One, Huazhi is just an ordinary maid next to the Empress. I think Huazhi doesn't have the courage to participate in the matter of poisoning Lord Lady, and the people who want to murder Lord Lady, naturally will not tell Huazhi. If Huazhi tells him, Huazhi may not have the courage to give you this persimmon cake. Therefore, Weichen thinks that she is used as a scapegoat.

The second point is that Huazhi is a rebellion party of the Red Lotus Sect, and she was not established. The Wei minister sent someone to investigate. Huazhi's background is very special. Her ancestors have been working in the royal family for generations. Her grandmother has also been commended by Emperor Kangxi and was named a first-class servant. Cui Lian, the real scholar of the Red Lotus Sect. When Eunuch Gao took someone to capture her, she had already hanged herself. However, judging from the results of the coroner's autopsy, Cui Lian was hung to death and was hung on the beam of the house. From this, it can be seen that there are still rebellions of the Red Lotus Sect hidden around us. They were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so they got rid of Cui Lian first.

Third, if Huazhi is a rebellion party of the Red Lotus Sect, how could those rebellion parties of the Red Lotus Sect that attacked Cuilian allow her to survive, let alone when the Empress and Princess Qing went to catch Huazhi, she was sleeping soundly. Just imagine, you are the mother of the emperor of the dynasty, the empress dowager, and a maid who is only twenty years old. After poisoning the persimmon cake you gave you, she could actually fall asleep soundly and wait for others to catch her. Would you believe it?

Ertai listed three pieces of evidence to expel Huazhi, and led to possible poisoning people, one is the Red Lotus Rebellion Party, and the other is the figures in the Queen's Palace.

After listening to Ertai's reply, Lao Fu slowly sat up, his expression became more and more serious. After thinking for a while, she asked, Ertai, you did a good job in this matter. Just because you know that this matter may involve the queen and dare to report this to the Ai family, it shows your loyalty to the Ai family. However, this matter is very involved. Don't alarm the snake first, observe it secretly, it's best to lead the snake out of the hole.

Yes, Lord Lao Fu, your instructions are too correct, I am just thinking that I have set up a line in the Empress's palace. I believe that it will not take long to know the whereabouts of the real culprit.

Ertai said seriously, but a trace of evil intention flashed in his heart. Humph, Mama Rong, you old witch, just wait to die.

Then, seeing that Lord Lady was listening to his words seriously, Ertai showed a concerned expression on his face and continued, Lord Lady, according to my guess, the Red Lotus Sect's rioters may be hidden in your palace. These people are cruel and ruthless, and they will never give up. Lord Lady, you must be more careful recently, and don't be taken advantage of by these crazy unruly parties.

Seeing Ertai revealing his true feelings, he really cared about himself, and did not become arrogant and domineering just because he went to his bed. Then this incident threatened himself and asked for his endless requests. The old Buddha felt a little moved in his heart. When he looked at Ertai again, a deep sense of appreciation appeared. Perhaps, there was a faint feeling of being indescribable and unknown...

In short, the Empress was very complicated at this time. She didn't know what she should treat Ertai as. In terms of royal backup, Ertai should call herself grandmother, but he just talked to herself...

Sighing, Lafayette turned his gaze away from Ertai

Ertai, you and your brother Erkang were both grown up by the Ai family since childhood. Originally, the Ai family always thought that Erkang was better than you, but at this time, you seemed meticulous, elves and loyal to the Ai family. There was nothing to reward you for the Ai family, so I thought about asking Concubine Ling to ask you to stay in the Ai family’s palace to guard. I wonder what you meant?

The Lord of the Buddha loves me, but I am very grateful. However, I am now the guard of Concubine Ling. I have to ask for instructions from Concubine Ling first before I dare to reply to you.

Ertai replied modestly

He is good at judging people's psychology. He thought that if he agreed to Lord Lady Buddha, Lord Lady would definitely regard himself as a rat who is greedy for power and wealth. His sense of trust in his newly established will disappear instantly. If he takes it, he can show his beautiful image of being focused on his mind and not seeking power and wealth in front of Lord Lady Buddha. On the other hand, he is also raising his own value and taking it seriously. Tell Lord Lady that I am a hot commodity, not what you want.

Sure enough, Ertai's performance made Lao Fu's impression of him better. She did not hide her appreciation for Ertai. Her face turned slightly red and nodded slowly, saying slowly, Then go back and ask Concubine Ling, Ai's family is waiting for your reply.

The poor minister follows the order

Ertai bowed and said with joy in his heart, thinking, Haha, Lord Lao Fu, let me be your guard, then you will lead the wolf into the house, but I will serve you well, hahaha...
