Gao Heng debunked the conspiracy of Ziyan and Empress Zhao on the spot, thinking that the situation was developing in a good direction, but the bad news that the emperor's grandson was unconscious suddenly came, and pushed Cheng Jinzhi to the forefront. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Zhenghe Palace, Emperor Zhou was crowned with a crown and a dark robe, sitting majestically on top of the dragon, looking at the people with different expressions below, and his eyes fell on Cheng Jinzhi who was kneeling in the center.

For the first time in his life, he met the emperor who was powerful in the world, Cheng Jinzhi buried his head down, and he didn't even dare to make a sound. In the past, she would always imagine the voice and appearance of the current saint in the air, and she also desperately wanted to get a glimpse of the dragon's face after becoming Princess Yan, but she never dreamed that this time she would actually break into a catastrophe and worship the king in the palace with a sinful body.

Of course, she doesn't think she's guilty.

"You are the rumored princess Yan who made trouble in Cheng's mansion and bravely broke into the prison, Cheng Jinzhi?"

Cheng Jinzhi's eyebrows jumped, knowing that Emperor Zhou must have heard some rumors about himself from outside the palace, and suddenly felt even more nervous, and replied in a trembling voice: "It's the courtier." ”

"I can't see that although you are born delicate, what you have done is quite earth-shattering. ”

"The courtiers don't dare. ”

Cheng Jinzhi hurriedly bowed his head to the ground when he heard this, and he was so panicked that cold sweat broke out in his palms.

When she faced the saint for the first time, she couldn't figure out the holy intent at all, let alone judge what Emperor Zhou thought in his heart. The more ordinary Emperor Zhou's tone was, the more frightened she became, lest this was the calm before the storm, and the next second the mountain rain would pour down, drowning her head.

"You seem to be scared of me. Emperor Zhou's tone was still not very harsh, "Do you feel that you have made a mistake, so you are afraid?"

finally came to the topic of the teenager falling overboard. Fortunately, Cheng Jinzhi was still sober, and he knew that every word he said next was related to the overall situation and his life, and he must not answer at will, so he quickly made some careful consideration in his mind.

"Answer me. Yes, or no?"

"It's not. ”

Cheng Jinzhi forcibly suppressed the nervous feelings in her heart, slowly raised her head, and the moment her eyes touched Emperor Zhou, her heart trembled violently, but she still tensed her spirit with a strong will, and her palms were pierced by nails embedded in the flesh.

"Why? Do you dare to say that the matter of the emperor's grandson falling into the water has nothing to do with you?"

"Yes, but it's not what the Queen said. Cheng Jinzhi deliberately raised his voice, and said decisively, "Your Majesty is above, the courtiers dare not bully the king, if it is really the courtiers, the courtiers will definitely not shirk their responsibilities, but if it is not done by the courtiers, at this moment, they will be put on the neck with a knife, and the courtiers will never admit it." ”

After saying this, Cheng Jinzhi was not shocked on the surface, but his heart was already turbulent. She tried her best to keep her composure, stiffened her body and turned her head slightly to look at Gao Heng, seeing the stars in his eyes, casting a look of approval and encouragement, her courage doubled for a while, and her spirit was much soothed.

"Okay, you Cheng Jinzhi, but you have a lot of backbone. ”

Emperor Zhou smiled heartily, stood up and walked slowly towards Cheng Jinzhi, Cheng Jinzhi had a premonition that his footsteps were approaching, lowered his head and was silent, but at this moment, he saw Emperor Zhou's eyes darken, and his smile was closed, with a cold light flashing, he suddenly pulled out his sword and aimed it at Cheng Jinzhi's throat, which made everyone present couldn't help but be shocked.

"Father!"

"Your Majesty!"

Gao Heng and Concubine Hui were completely unaware of Emperor Zhou's sudden move, and immediately wanted to step forward to stop it. After being surprised, Empress Zhao was unusually calm, looking at Cheng Jinzhi who was pointed at by the sword, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a pleasant smile.

The development of things was too unexpected, and at the moment when Emperor Zhou drew his sword and faced each other, Cheng Jinzhi was almost so frightened that he went into cardiac arrest.

This seemingly serious old stubborn emperor is really too bad to play his cards.

Fortunately, she is not an embroidered pillow that is not a superficial embroidered pillow, and she will not be frightened by a sword. After all, she has been bullied and experienced life and death, and now she can finally live a stable and steady life, even if this sword is about to be cleaved, she will fight until the last moment.

"If you are willing to bow down and confess your sins, I can promise you a light sentence, otherwise, Hugh blames me for not being polite. ”

Above the main hall, Emperor Zhou's eyes were sharp, as deep as an eagle, like a knife blade, and he was aggressive, as if he was intimidating and tempting.

"The courtiers are not guilty, and if Your Majesty wants to bend and make a move, the courtiers have nothing to say. ”

Cheng Jinzhi's face was not ashamed, she was not afraid of danger, she raised her head and looked proudly, even though there were already thousands of waves in her heart, she was still as calm as a mountain, and she did not give in halfway.

The air seemed to freeze instantly, and the two of them were in a stalemate for a long time without saying a word, Emperor Zhou suddenly raised his sword and wanted to stab, and at the last moment, Cheng Jinzhi closed his eyes unexpectedly, and his mind flashed like a marquee Various fragments of the past, and finally froze on a person.

At the same time, Emperor Zhou's hearty laughter suddenly sounded in his ears.

Cheng Jinzhi opened his eyes suddenly, only to see that he had already put down his sword and walked to his seat, and Gao Heng didn't know when he came to his side, as if he had experienced a long ordeal, and his eyes were full of fear that Cheng Jinzhi had never seen before.

He's worried about himself.

And the person who finally came to mind was him.

Cheng Jinzhi smiled unconsciously and raised his hand to hold Gao Heng's hand, only to find that his palm was cold.

In fact, if Emperor Zhou's sword was really chopped down just now, she would not die and go to half her life, how could she not be afraid?

Suddenly there was someone else's temperature in his hand, Gao Heng was stunned, looked down at Cheng Jinzhi, and saw that her eyes were soft and the corners of her mouth were smiling, and the fear in her eyes gradually faded and became warm.

"I believe that the fall of the imperial grandson into the water was an accident, not on the part of Princess Yan. ”

As soon as Emperor Zhou's words came out, Cheng Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but Empress Zhao's smile immediately froze on her lips.

She glanced at Cheng Jinzhi fiercely, and then stepped forward with grievances and cried: "Your Majesty, our grandson is now lying on the bed and life is uncertain, I don't know when he will wake up, he is still so young, but he has to be innocently tortured like this, isn't Your Majesty distressed?"

"He's my grandson, and of course I'm distressed, but he has a stubborn personality, and I'm not unaware. Emperor Zhou frowned slightly, and said earnestly, "I can't just wronged other innocent people just because he is the heir of the royal family. A person can be so righteous and awe-inspiring at the moment of life and death, only if he really has a clear conscience, the queen also witnessed it with her own eyes just now. ”

"How can Your Majesty believe a person just based on these one-sided appearances, the concubines are here, but there are palace maids who have seen it with their own eyes......"

"Father. Gao Heng interrupted Empress Zhao's words and stepped forward to say, "Father, the son and grandson have already interrogated the palace maid carefully when they were in the garden. The palace maid flickered, her words did not reach the point, and the words she said were even more ambiguous, full of errors and omissions, and could never be used as valid evidence. Erchen even thought that she was instructed by others to deliberately slander her. ”

Gao Heng said the words "instructed by others", and his eyes deliberately glanced at Queen Zhao, as if he was pointing.

"Queen, is Heng'er telling the truth?"

Emperor Zhou's eyes turned slightly stern, Empress Zhao pursed her lips and just wanted to speak, Gao Heng reminded in an accentuated tone: "Don't forget the queen mother, there are a large number of people present, and there are also other palace people in the palace. ”

"You ......"

Empress Zhao gritted her teeth and took a deep breath, and between the waves of her eyes, she seemed to be brewing countermeasures.

At this moment, a eunuch suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, the prince is asking to see you outside." ”

Hearing of the arrival of the crown prince, the face of Empress Zhao, who was originally weak, was completely gloomy, her chin tilted, and she raised her eyebrows and smiled.
