As soon as he entered the inner hall, Situ Ningbing saluted and quietly looked around, the emperor sat on the red gold panlong seat due south, and there were three palace beauties sitting on the left and right, which should be the concubines with higher positions in the palace, from the sitting position, the right hand side should be Li Guifei, the highest position, and the prince standing behind him should be his biological mother Xiao Shufei, next to the concubine should be King Wei's biological mother Chen Defei, and under the Danxi is his father Situ Xinzheng looked at her with a nervous face.

Situ Ningbing still saluted uprightly as if he hadn't seen it, and the emperor's majestic voice came from above his head, "I heard that the prince said that you had some misunderstanding with the prince of Anguo when he was in Jiangnan?"

Without the emperor's order, Situ Ningbing couldn't raise his head, so he had to say in a confused voice: "When the courtiers returned to Chang'an, they did take the Jiangnan, but they have never seen His Royal Highness the Prince, where did this 'misunderstanding' start? ”

"Hmph! What a clear sign, you can pretend!" The emperor didn't speak, Yang Yi couldn't help it.

"I'm just pretending to be better than you, what's the matter?" Situ Ningbing pursed her lips secretly, but she pretended to be shocked and looked at the source of the voice on her face, and then exclaimed in a voice just right: "Why are you?!" In addition to Yang Yi, the people present have long been prejudiced against her, and Li Jiayi knows the inside story, and no one outside her believes that she definitely didn't know Yang Yi's identity before.

"The courtiers didn't know the identity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, and she asked His Highness for forgiveness if she was offended. After being surprised, Situ Ningbing immediately reacted, and pleaded guilty with "sincere fear".

Seeing that his father was about to be deceived by her, Yang Yi jumped up in a hurry, and told his tragic experience of being enslaved by Situ Ningbing and being sneered at by Li Jiayi in Jiangnan again. "Those assassins were sent by her!" Yang Yi pointed at Situ Ningbing and said with great certainty.

Situ Ningbing had an urge to laugh, and she tried her best to restrain herself so that she didn't say the sentence in her heart, "What's the good of killing you?

"Prince!" The emperor also felt that his son's assumption was too ridiculous, glared at him fiercely as a warning, and then looked at Situ Ningbing and said gently: "Do you have any excuses?" The tone was quite partial.

Situ Ningbing knelt quietly in the center of the hall, his back was as straight as a statue, and he thought for a long time with his eyes down, and slowly spit out six words: "The courtiers regret not being at the beginning." ”

Yang Yi snorted disdainfully when he heard this. The emperor couldn't help frowning slightly, glancing at him coldly, and Concubine Shu immediately lowered her face and reprimanded: "Prince!" Yang Yi glanced at his father and the face of the imperial concubine, so he had to put away the contempt on his face and replace it with a stern face.

"If you have remorse, you must know that you are wrong. The emperor looked like a big thing turned into a small thing, "This is the end of the matter of giving the prince a crime." ”

I have suffered so many sins that I almost lost my life, and the crime of accompanying him is over? The assassin's matter is not even asked! Yang Yi was naturally dissatisfied with this treatment, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Concubine Shu's fierce eyes.

Situ Ningbing still knelt straight and didn't mean to make amends, but said quietly: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the courtier regrets that she shouldn't have thought about it in the first place." Her voice was not high, but her words shocked everyone in the Martial Arts Hall like a broken golden stone, and General Situ even gasped. Situ Ningbing seemed to be unaware of everyone's reactions, and said unhurriedly: "If you had stood by and watched that day, there would have been no disaster today!"

"Presumptuous!" General Situ didn't care about being in front of the king, and scolded loudly: "Are you crazy! How dare you say such a rebellious thing!" ”

The emperor frowned and pondered in embarrassment, and suddenly said: "The general is indeed a goddaughter, otherwise she would not be so naïve." It was Li Jiayi who was in a wheelchair who spoke, because of his body, even in front of the king, he was sitting upright like a ritual, like a bystander, looking coldly at this scene with him and Situ Ningbing as the protagonists, at this moment Situ Ningbing had finished singing the opening, and it was his turn to perform. sang very well at the beginning, and naturally he couldn't be left behind, so he became a blockbuster as soon as he came on the stage. His gaze crossed the crowd and looked straight at the emperor who was high above, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "How can you stand by and watch and settle accounts after the autumn like me?" Wu Zi played with the folding fan in his hand and mocked: "Saving is also a sin, not saving is also a sin, and the left and right are just death." ”

Situ Ningbing sighed at the right time, and said indifferently: "What is the trouble of wanting to add to the crime?" Li Gongzi, you and I were like fire and water that day, and I didn't expect to go to Huangquan together today, which can be regarded as a kind of fate. ”

Li Jiayi smiled slightly, shook the folding fan in his hand, and said, "With Miss as a companion, I guess there will be no loneliness on Huangquan Road." ”

Situ Ningbing helped the golden silk beads on his hair bun and shook it, and said, "Loneliness naturally won't, but you and I will inevitably be angry when we get together." ”

Li Jiayi stroked a strand of hanging hair on her sideburns, and said quietly: "What's the use of resentment? Who told us to offend the prince." This world is the world of the Yang family, which has annoyed the future master, how can there be a place for me to stand on the cone?" sighed lightly as if he had infinite remorse, "If I had known this, I should have fought with those mad assassins at the cost of my life, and I could fight for a name of loyalty and bravery." ”

Situ Ningbing sneered and sneered: "Fang Cai Li Gongzi also said that I am naïve, I look at the naïve is you, do you think that you can get the name of loyalty and courage by fighting but dying?" She shook her head, and the long golden silk beads on the lily bun swayed down, and her voice was also clear: "The same party who did not regard you as an assassin is already an ancestor who has accumulated virtue." ”

"Bold!" Yang Yi couldn't help but shout angrily, his sword eyebrows were upside down, and his eyes were about to erupt into flames, "In front of the Holy Driver, you dare to talk nonsense like this, reversing black and white, it can be seen how bold you are on weekdays!" He pointed at Situ Ningbing, but scolded Li Jiayi as well.

Situ Ningbing didn't argue either, everything that should have been said had already been said, it didn't matter what Yang Yi thought, what mattered was the emperor's reaction. What's more, she is not the only one who is scolded, and she should always leave some words for others to sing. Li Jiayi really spoke at the right time, "Your Highness is serious, because the saint is the Ming monarch, so the ministers dare to speak out, if you change the emperor, the micro ministers will naturally be flattered in order to survive." ”

If it weren't for the fact that Situ Ningbing in front of the monarch really wanted to cheer for him, he said it very beautifully, slapping the emperor's ass openly and scolding Yang Yi without a trace, the magic is that everyone can understand but can't refute it.

Yang Yi's handsome face was distorted and deformed, glaring at Li Jiayi angrily, and he wanted to eat him alive, but after all, he couldn't do anything but get angry, and if he refuted, he just fell into Li Jiayi's trap.

"What a sharp mouth!" The emperor's majestic voice sounded, and his eyes were coldly fixed on Li Jiayi, "Do you dare to deceive the saint with such a clever tongue just because you are the emperor!"

Li Jiayi said with a fearless face, neither humble nor arrogant: "Wechen has already said it, but it is just outspoken, if the emperor thinks that it is a clever tongue, Wechen can only admit it." ”

A smile appeared on the emperor's grim face, and this smile was as cold as the frost on his face in the cold moon, which made people tremble, "Do you think I won't dare to kill you?"

"Your Majesty!" The concubine on the right suddenly spoke, she who had been as calm as water couldn't help but lose her face, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Jiayi is still young, and it is inevitable that he is a little frivolous and ignorant of the height of the sky, so I ask the emperor to forgive him this time in the face of the concubine." ”

Concubine De, who was sitting next to her, also knelt down and pleaded: "The concubine also thinks that this matter is just a misunderstanding, and the prince has never entered Beijing to visit the prince......, where can he recognize it?"

Concubine De's words were reasonable, but they couldn't touch the emperor's heart, he waved his hand and said impatiently: "Now it's not that Li Jiayi won't save the prince when he sees death, but that he is rude in front of his own identity!"

"The emperor is angry" Concubine Shu gently persuaded: "As the concubine said, it is inevitable that the son of the world is young and vigorous, and it is also difficult to be angry about being wronged for the prince's affairs. She paused for a moment, looked at the emperor's face and said without anything wrong before continuing: "Besides, this matter is the prince's, and they all complain that the concubines spoil him on weekdays, so that he is so ignorant, if the emperor is guilty of the prince, it will be the concubine's sin." ”

The summer wind is warm and humid and enters the Wude Hall through the cracks in the doors and windows, blowing on people's bodies and giving birth to an inexplicable irritability. After Concubine Shu finished speaking, the emperor didn't speak for a long time, just stared at Li Jiayi, his cold gaze was as straight as a sword, as if he was about to pierce his body. The concubine knelt anxiously at his feet, as delicate as a flower, pale and haggard like frost.
