Chapter 290: A Tooth for a Tooth

"It's all to blame the courtiers for being clumsy, they can't even hold a glass of wine, they disturbed and offended the dragon driver, they really deserve death, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!"

Cheng Jinzhi buried his head deep in the crook of his arm, blaming himself again and again, although he was panicked and frightened on the surface, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Isn't the reason why she took the trouble to prepare these glasses of wine is to let the wine wet the holy decree on these cases?

And although Yuan Peng and Princess Yuan Xi were wary of Cheng Jinzhi's actions, they didn't expect her to make such a move, and after the two glanced at each other with grim faces, their eyes darkened and the corners of their eyebrows were twisted.

At this time, Gao Heng already knew Cheng Jinzhi's intention to make a dangerous move, so he pretended to be nervous and stood up to intercede for her.

"Father, Jin Zhi is also out of good intentions, so he specially prepared a drink to consolidate the friendship between the two countries, and asked his father to forgive her lightly for the sake of her unintentional mistake. ”

At this time, even the crown prince, who had always regarded Gao Heng as a thorn in his side, came forward to speak to Emperor Zhou on behalf of Cheng Jinzhi for the first time.

It's just that a large part of the reason why he did this was to cooperate with acting, so that Emperor Zhou felt that he understood things.

After all, he knew very well that what Cheng Jinzhi had just done, in the eyes of outsiders, he might be asking for trouble, but in Emperor Zhou's heart, it was a good thing.

"You are also a dignified princess, how can you be so ignorant of the rules and not pay attention to proportions on such an important occasion!"

Emperor Zhou slapped a few cases and drank angrily, although his tone was heavy, there was no obvious anger in his eyes, but it was a bit like a bluff.

He looked at the brocade silk that had been half wet in several cases, and a hint of relief flashed between his eyebrows, and he heard Empress Zhao beside him pretend to be unhappy and reprimand the eunuch in front of Emperor Zhou: "Confused thing, why don't you wipe it quickly when this holy decree is wet like this, what if you stain the handwriting on it?"

The eunuch had been by Emperor Zhou's side for many years, and naturally he was well aware of the holy will, and his mind was lively, so he understood it immediately, and hurriedly ran forward to unfold the scroll, and just wanted to raise his sleeves and wipe it hard, but his eyebrows trembled, and he also knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, this decree... The words on this decree are completely indistinguishable!"

When the kings of the Great Zhou Dynasty drafted the holy decree, the materials used were all fine silk products made of brocade silk and satin, once a large area of water stains was inhaled, and the handwriting on it was written in ink, and under the interaction of the two, finally these words would become a dirty ink mass as it is now.

Although half of the handwriting can still be distinguished, it is "fortunately" that the five words "Gao Heng, the third son of the emperor" were once written, and it is completely impossible to see what is written.

Seeing this situation, Emperor Zhou was naturally happy in his heart, and glanced at Cheng Jinzhi with appreciation.

In addition to glad that he didn't directly admit the "mistake" of this holy decree at that time, he couldn't help but secretly sigh that this girl who seems to be a little marginal and strange on weekdays can always make a splash at critical moments.

"Your Majesty, although the handwriting on this holy decree is no longer legible, what is written, I believe Your Majesty should be like a mirror, right?"

Seeing that this key evidence was suddenly destroyed, Yuan Peng already knew in his heart that Cheng Jinzhi did it on purpose, and in addition to being angry in his heart, looking at the side face of this Princess Yan, there was a feeling of déjà vu in his heart.

But he no longer had time to take care of these empty feelings at the moment, but patiently spoke to Emperor Zhou, and the original heavy confidence in his heart was already a little less.

"Fourth Prince, do you know why Long Yan was furious after I read the Holy Decree?"

Emperor Zhou ignored Cheng Jinzhi who was kneeling on the ground, but looked at Yuan Peng with a solemn face, and his tone was very calm.

"Forgive your majesty for your courage, isn't it because what is written on this holy decree is a person who is close to his courtiers, and it is His Royal Highness King Yan instead of His Royal Highness King Jin, and there is a difference between what His Majesty thinks, so he is angry?"

"The four princes are too worried, I said before that Xun'er is the only candidate for the prince who is close to the princess of your country from beginning to end. Besides, how could I have made such a nonsensical omission in the preparation of the decree? The name of Xun'er was clearly written in black and white on this decree, and the reason why I was angry was only because I saw that there were stains on the corners of this decree. I think it's because my Great Zhou is far away from your country, and it should be caused by the negligence of the messenger who delivered the decree at that time. When this ceremony is over, I will definitely hold this person accountable, and I will not spare it. ”

Emperor Zhou's words have the meaning of returning to the other body in the other way.

Since these two Chu people dared to question themselves on this hall, they didn't know how to tamper with the holy decree to refer to black as white, and almost disgraced him.

Now taking advantage of this opportunity, he naturally has to use means to extinguish their prestige, which can be regarded as a warning.

"Your Majesty means that what Your Majesty and my sister said just now is all a lie made out of nothing?"

Yuan Peng looked at Emperor Zhou deeply with a stiff face, pondered for a moment, and then fell on Cheng Jinzhi in front of him, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Also, Princess Yan's glasses of wine were indeed delivered at the right time, and they were really well-intentioned. Now that the Holy Decree has been destroyed, and our brother and sister are alone on someone else's territory, we can only admit it. But I'm afraid my father will ...... him."

"His Royal Highness King Heng, you are a little bit of a villain's belly. ”

Seeing that Yuan Peng wanted to take advantage of the situation to pressure the King of Chu again, Cheng Jinzhi originally hated him and Princess Yuanxi for joining forces to cheat on marriage, and knew that Emperor Zhou would not really blame her for this matter, so he turned sideways and opened his mouth unceremoniously.

And after hearing Cheng Jinzhi's voice and seeing her face clearly, he hesitated for a moment, revealing a look of sudden realization.

"You... You're not the ...... you were at the gates before."

"His Royal Highness King Heng came to Da Zhou thousands of miles away, presumably with the intention that the two countries could tie Qin and Jin forever. The reason why His Majesty chose His Royal Highness King Jin to marry the princess was completely out of consideration for the princess, knowing that the princess had a noble status and had to be a concubine. Although the holy decree is vague and difficult to distinguish at the moment, the so-called king has no jokes, and the king of Chu is the king of a country in your country, so he must also be a man of his word. Therefore, every word that His Majesty said from beginning to end will naturally not be mixed with any false words. If His Royal Highness holds on to this time and destroys the friendship between the two countries for such a trivial matter that has been created out of nothing, it will be very worthless. ”

"Princess Yan is threatening us when she says this?"

Yuan Peng tightened his pupils when he heard this, and looked at Cheng Jinzhi with a smile, his expression was very meaningful, and his tone was not friendly.

"Besides, you are the princess of King Yan, so naturally you don't want him to marry another new love, which will affect your status in his mind. ”

"His Royal Highness King Heng's words are wrong. ”

As soon as Yuan Peng's words fell, he heard Gao Heng's cold and extremely shocking voice sounding above the main hall.

Although he did not look back, every word between his words was extremely firm, loud and clear.

"In the heart of this king, there has always been only one wife for Jin Zhi, and in this life, she can only be her, and there will be no second one. ”

If Ni Meng thinks that Princess Yuanxi will bow her head and admit defeat like this, it will be a big mistake! Oh, hehehehe~ (covering her mouth and laughing)
