Chapter 145: Aftermath
"Your Majesty!"
A voice like ice sounded, and the guards who were about to arrest Su Qing immediately froze in place, not daring to make any moves.
Xiao Jingchen walked to the front of the stage elegantly and calmly in a dark robe, and stood beside Su Qing.
"Your Majesty, the princess is still young, a little ignorant, just now she listened to the words of this king before going up to perform, and the consequences should be borne by this king alone. ”
This time...... It's really helping her!
Su Qing turned his head to look at Xiao Jingchen's knife-like side face, at this moment he was almost handsome.
"When the King of War said this, is he going to accept the punishment on behalf of the princess?"
The emperor also collected half of the anger just now in front of Xiao Jingchen, and his tone was mixed with a bit of pride.
He was worried that he couldn't find a way to attack Xiao Jingchen, so he sent it to the door by himself.
"Yes. Xiao Jingchen replied lightly, as if being punished was nothing to him at all.
I don't know why, when Su Qing heard him say this, a wave of courage suddenly appeared on his body.
She took a step forward suddenly: "No, one person does things and one person does it, and I will bear the consequences of what I do." ”
Xiao Jingchen frowned and looked at Su Qing's stubborn back, he had already come out to speak for her, why didn't she know that she would accept it when she saw it?
But everyone in front of them can see the scene.
The war king is very satisfied with this war princess, and will even protect her in front of the emperor, and those snubbing princesses outside are all rumors!
"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?"
Just when the two of them were at a stalemate, Qin Yueyue next to him suddenly exclaimed.
"Uncle Huang, come and see my mother, she seems to be sick again......"
The eldest princess is the emperor's sister, and she has grown up with the emperor since she was a child, and in the eyes of the emperor, she is even closer to the queen mother.
It's just that there was an accident more than 20 years ago, and since then the eldest princess has fallen ill.
"Sister, where is the imperial doctor?Why can't the imperial doctor come over?" The emperor couldn't care about dealing with Su Qing's affairs at the moment, and hurriedly walked to the eldest princess's side.
The eldest princess held her chest with one hand and looked pained, but she still shook her head strongly.
"I'm fine, don't delay everyone's banquet......" Before he finished speaking, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Mother, mother!" Qin Yueyue was so frightened that she cried on the side, and the emperor was even more anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
Su Qing saw the appearance of the eldest princess and wanted to go up to take a look, but the queen suddenly glanced at her and signaled her not to move.
At this time, the emperor suddenly looked at her: "Princess Zhan, you just cured my asthma with medicine, come and show the eldest princess." ”
Su Qing suddenly understood the queen's intentions.
She had wanted to go over and take a look, but now she stood still.
"Although I helped the emperor relieve the symptoms just now, in the end, the emperor still wants to punish me, and I better not be nosy. ”
The ministers below were in an uproar when they saw the scene in front of them, who would dare to refuse the emperor's request?
The emperor didn't expect to be commanded by Su Qing at this time, and his face was extremely ugly.
But seeing the eldest princess's painful expression, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and after today, he still can't find an excuse to punish her?
"As long as you can cure the eldest princess, today's events will be treated as if they never happened, and I will forgive you for your innocence. ”
Hearing this, the queen breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to say something, but Su Qing spoke before her.
"Thank you to the emperor, but this matter can't be just settled, someone in the palace deliberately used the emperor's hidden illness to openly frame me, even if I was punished, it didn't matter, but this person's intentions were sinister and his heart could be punished, and the emperor should investigate it well." ”
"Queen, this matter is entrusted to you, and it is important to find this person. In front of everyone, the emperor had no choice but to order.
"Yes, the concubine is the order. The queen bowed slightly, but her eyes glanced at Su Qing.
She just glanced at her, she could guess what she was thinking, and even helped her invisibly.
"Okay, now you can come and see the eldest princess, right?" the emperor said in a hurried tone.
Su Qing took two steps forward unhurriedly, and then turned to look at Xiao Jingchen.
"Lord Wang, can I go and show the eldest princess?"
"Whatever you want. Xiao Jingchen couldn't figure out why Su Qing had asked him in public, and responded expressionlessly.
"Thank you, Lord Wang. Su Qing smiled at him, a hint of cunning flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he hurriedly went to the eldest princess's side.
Everyone watched with bated breath as Su Qing treated the eldest princess, but the atmosphere of a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was a little depressing.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is fine, it may just be some overwork that induces old diseases, just take some medicine and rest for two days. ”
Su Qing checked it and finally raised her head: "It's better to let the concubine send the eldest princess down to rest, so as not to delay everyone's interest here." ”
"Then it will be annoying to the princess. ”
Before the emperor could speak, the queen agreed beside her, and Su Qing carefully helped the eldest princess out of the banquet hall.
Xiao Jingchen also returned to his seat unharmed, quickly glanced out of the door, and a figure followed.
Walking out of the banquet hall and away from the hustle and bustle, Su Qing let go of the hand of the eldest princess.
"The eldest princess is not sick, why do you say that she is not feeling well?"
In that case, Su Qing could only think of one possibility, that is, the eldest princess intended to help her.
It's just that the friendship between them has not developed to this point.
"I'm just panicking in my heart, how can I get out so smoothly without finding a good excuse?"
The eldest princess smiled slightly, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, the blood she had just vomited was just pretending to be water juice.
Su Qing didn't speak, just silently accompanied the eldest princess and walked forward slowly.
She had just taken the pulse of the eldest princess, and although she was not sick at this time, she did have some serious old diseases.
"The screen you embroidered just now is very beautiful, I originally wanted to ask you for it when the banquet was over, but I didn't expect you to give it to someone else first. ”
It seemed that she felt too quiet, and the eldest princess took the initiative to talk to Su Qing.
"If the eldest princess likes it, I'll go back and re-embroider it and send it to the house. ”
"You're a big guts. The eldest princess chuckled and stopped.
"Okay, don't follow me, go back, the prince will not worry about you when he is alone in it, it can be seen that he cares about you very much. ”
Su Qing stopped and saw the eldest princess walking out alone, her back was dignified, but she was also a little lonely.
It was already dark when the banquet ended, and Su Ying was also taken to the East Palace by Chu Yi.
Chu Yi, who was flirtatious with Su Ying's dance just now, had been thinking about her all the time, and took advantage of the crowd to sneak her back.
