Chapter 253: The Sword Reflects the Red Face
Wu Shanghua sneered, "Your Highness, you are going to deceive yourself again! In front of the two armies, everyone was watching, and the favorite concubine of the East Palace fell into the hands of the enemy. I have been tossing and turning for more than a dozen days and nights, and I don't know how many green hats I have put on His Highness's head! Only by giving her death can His Highness save face, and the royal family can preserve its dignity! Now that you have excused her for being rescued, can you not make the world laugh?"
Sheng Yao immediately said: "Shameful laughter? If I do what you say, I will attract shameful laughter! What is Liangyuan's fault? If there is a mistake, it is also the fault of the lonely king! It is the lonely king who failed to protect his own woman. Does the crown princess want the life of the lonely king?"
Wu Shanghua was stunned for a while, as if the exquisite phoenix crown was too heavy, she turned her neck with difficulty and glanced at Wu Shangxian who was standing behind the maids. He turned around and said sadly: "Your Highness, the concubine is infatuated with you, why do you want to block me with such words?"
She wept slowly, "The concubine knows that the Qu family is your top heart, if it weren't for His Highness's reputation, why would she have to dispose of her and dislike you! If she is a virtuous person, she should make a decision for His Highness!"
Sounds like it makes a lot of sense.
I stepped out from behind Sheng Yao, took a few steps forward without hurry, and gave a proper salute: "The crown princess is so smart, since she knows that hurting me and Ruan Liangdi will make His Royal Highness sad, why did she still take our lives?"
She raised her chin to answer. I smiled and said, "On the Diexiu Mountain, the disaster is Xiao Wall." If it weren't for the Crown Princess's "sword" that killed me, how could I have run away from everyone while fleeing? At that time, I had not encountered rebels, so I don't know why the Crown Princess wanted to take my life, what was the reason?"
"You, you are talking nonsense!" Wu Shanghua argued, "How do you know that this palace is going to take your life at that time! At that time, the rebels attacked the mountain, and the scene was very chaotic. I don't know where you are, how can I take your life with an arrow?"
I smiled slightly: "Is it true that the crown princess was not near me and Ruan Liangdi that day, and didn't see us?"
"At that time, naturally, you don't have to frame this palace here!" Wu Shanghua was extremely resentful.
I said calmly: "Since the crown princess has never seen us, why is it so sure that it is an arrow instead of a sword? I just said that the crown princess's 'sword' is fierce!"
"You cunning ......," a blue veil appeared on Wu Shanghua's forehead.
Wu Shangxian immediately raised his voice to interrupt her, "Shut up! In order to exonerate herself, Liangyuan deliberately pulled the crown princess here to confuse the public! Liangyuan kept saying how the crown princess was that day, but there is half a point of evidence? Just a few words from you, you dare to accuse the concubine of the East Palace! It is really a demon concubine who has misled the country!"
I laughed angrily, and simply turned around and instructed Cui Nong: "Go and get the sword that Liu Xiaohe has made in his left hand these days." Cinon took the order and returned a moment later, a long sword in his hand.
I looked at Wu Shangxian: "Do you want evidence from Wu Jiugongzi, this is the sharp weapon that the crown princess threw at me that day! If it weren't for the black armor guard, I wouldn't have been able to come back a long time ago." Isn't that just satisfying you, and you don't have to go to great lengths to force me to kill myself today!"
"You are talking nonsense, I am obviously releasing arrows, how can I use this throwing ......" Wu Shanghua suddenly paused, knowing that he was speechless, and then changed his words with a cheeky face, "With a broken sword that can be seen everywhere, why are you sure that it was the palace that did it?"
"Just based on the words of the crown princess, how can I conclude that I have lost my innocence!"
Wu Shanghua was speechless, only staring at me with wide eyes.
Wu Shangxian hurriedly stepped forward from behind the maids, "This sword has nothing to do with the crown princess, Liang Yuan is not a trapped beast fight! Even if you are innocent, you let the rebels hold you hostage, and let the rebel leader escape calmly from Xiao Shisan's encirclement." It is hard to escape the blame! There has always been a lot of trouble, and naturally we must get rid of it!"
"You martial artists, you just want to get rid of me!" I turned around and pulled out the sword in Cui Nong's hand and sneered, "What Wu Jiu Gongzi said may have nothing to do with the crown princess. But the four words 'Shangde Muxian' engraved on the hilt of this sword, how does Wu Jiu Gongzi explain?"
This sword was captured by Liu Xiaohe when he escorted us out of the Xie family's camp. The people of the time were martial and reverent, and they loved to engrave some elegant words on the sword. "Shangde Muxian" is just a commonly used lettering in the world. However, at this moment, Wu Shangxian couldn't explain this situation at all.
Since the Wu brothers and sisters have been brazen and forced me to death out of nothing many times, why not retaliate with a tooth for a tooth at this time!
Wu Shangxian argued: "What can this mean! There is the word 'Shangxian' in the engraved sentence on the sword, which is commonly used by everyone, and it does not mean that it is my sword!"
I bowed my head and said, "What Gongzi Shangxian said is right! There are more red faces in the world, why does Gongzi have to say that I am a disaster!"
Sideways to Shengyao said: "What's more, the theory of red face and disaster is just the conjecture and shirk of the sour and rotten literati. Most women don't care about foreign affairs, so what does it have to do with the world and state affairs? The women in the palace live quietly, and who can know that the wind and clouds are rolling outside. In the midst of the war, how innocent is the weak and delicate!"
I stared at Wu Shangxian and said sarcastically: "The son is conceited and talented, why didn't he help a group of thirteen commanders and soldiers on the mountain that day?
Wu Shanghua couldn't hold back when he heard this, "You cheap, your words are outspoken, your tongue is sharp!, but you have the edge of my sword!"
Sheng Yao took me into his arms and slapped her on the right shoulder.
Wu Shanghua staggered a few steps and was helped by Wu Shangxian.
She lifted her tear-stained face and said in disbelief, "You are so ruthless! Even if you want to save her, you will forget who my wound here is for?"
I turned my head - she and him, in the end, had the love of sacrificing herself to block arrows in the change of Jingyun.
A look of guilt flashed on Sheng Yao's face, and he was silent for a moment, and said, "The lonely king has never forgotten. The lonely king is tired, so the crown princess should also go back to the palace to rest. After speaking, he glanced at Wu Shangxian coldly and helped me into the Yude Palace.
The things in the palace are still the same, but there are more territory maps and weapons. Suddenly add to the shadow of war.
I suddenly felt that Sheng Yao Xu was really tired.
The overall situation is undecided, the rebellion is not settled, but the wives and concubines are not in harmony, and the sword is shadowing.
Or, did I really mistake him?
If I hadn't been captured by Xie Yan that day, Xiao 13 would definitely have taken Changruo. The Xie family's army ran thousands of miles and lost the commander, so it naturally collapsed. The Great Qi crisis was half solved.
If he hadn't pampered me like this, Wu Shanghua would have raised eyebrows with him, instead of raising a knife at every turn.
Sheng Yao, maybe he won't be so tired.
Sheng Yao lifted my chin and asked softly, "What do you think?" ”
I stared at him: there was a green shadow under his eyes, and there were lines hidden between his eyebrows. The body shape has also been reduced a lot.
