Chapter 141: I Don't Quite Understand
At this time, Murong Qingxue's heart was not calm, although Dongfang Yunrui was not surprised, but as long as Jiang Chen arrived, then the matter of Feng Fu would be shaken out, and Murong Qingxue really couldn't believe him in response to Jiang Chen's recent appearance and his position.
She glanced at the queen from a distance, she seemed to be a little anxious, but there was still a graceful and luxurious smile on her face, and Murong Qingxue couldn't help but admire her from the bottom of her heart. If she had her bearing in her previous life, she would not have ended so dismally.
That's right, Queen.
Murong Qingxue's mind flashed with inspiration, and he thought about it. She took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and leaned into Dongfang Yunrui's ear and said a word, but when she saw Dongfang Yunrui looking at her in surprise, she immediately smiled and said: "There are no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart is a little clear." ”
It turned out that Murong Qingxue's thoughts coincided with him, which made him happy and grateful from the bottom of his heart. If it wasn't at Dongfang Haonan's wedding, he would have held her hand immediately.
Soon, Jiang Chen arrived.
What caught my eye was the emperor sitting in a precarious position and the dignified and graceful queen, and the rest of the people couldn't see what was going on in their hearts.
Goodbye on the ground, lying is his cousin, this is Murong Qingyi, whom he exchanged his life for her lifetime's favor. I saw her pale face, falling into Xinyan's arms, and falling into a deep sleep.
He still remembered that when he was in the General's Mansion, Murong Qingyi only had a damaged appearance, and the rest was fine, how could it not be long after he arrived at the Nanwang Mansion.
Jiang Chen was worried in his heart, but the emperor and empress were here, even if he was uneasy in his heart, he had to give the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers first.
"Jiang Chen saw the emperor and the queen. Jiang Chen bowed down and saluted respectfully, and only got up when the emperor asked him to excuse himself.
"Jiang Chen, I asked you to come because I have something to ask, you have to tell the truth. The Emperor's tone was serious. This made Jiang Chen's heart even more uneasy. He felt the tense and imminent atmosphere of the scene.
Suddenly, he noticed a person, Xia Qin. He was also on his knees, but his demeanor was calm.
I see.
Jiang Chen had already guessed at this time that the reason why the emperor asked him to come, it must be related to Xia Qin.
Sure enough, the emperor asked, "Jiang Chen, I ask you." Xia Qin has been at the border since seven years ago. Your father and son are in charge?"
Jiang Chen nodded, and did not hide it: "Back to the emperor, yes!"
"That's good. I didn't summon him this time, so why did you let him go back to Beijing? Do you know it's a felony?"
Jiang Chen hurriedly knelt down and replied worriedly: "Go back to the emperor, the crime of the minister." Please forgive the emperor. ”
Concubine Lin sneered and did not make a sound. At this time, the emperor was asking, and she didn't dare to say more.
"Don't talk about your sin first, I heard that you saw the phoenix talisman and put Xia Qin back reads();. But is there such a thing?" the emperor stared at Jiang Chen and said, he wanted to confirm the authenticity of this matter.
Jiang Chen's heart was full of mixed feelings at this time, although it was Dongfang Yunrui who took out the phoenix talisman and asked him to release him. But he couldn't admit it so directly. After all, judging from the current situation, the matter of Feng Fu is a big matter. Not only involves himself, but also Dongfang Yunrui and the queen, he has to think carefully before answering.
"General Jiang, what is the emperor asking you? Just tell the truth. It was Concubine Lin who said this, and she saw that Jiang Chen had been bowing her head and not replying, so she asked.
Jiang Chen saw Concubine Lin urging, but he hadn't figured out how to answer, so he had to hesitate: "Go back to the emperor, go back to Concubine Lin, the reason why the minister let Xia Qin come back is because it is because of ......"
Jiang Chen slurred and never said the next words. He glanced at Dongfang Yunrui who was light and breezy next to him with the rest of his eyes, and suddenly saw Murong Qingxue in men's clothes again, and it was even more inconvenient to tell the matter.
"Why?" the emperor asked, he saw that Jiang Chen was so hesitant, so he expected that there was a problem in this, but if he didn't say it, he didn't know, so he had to ask again.
Dongfang Haonan snorted coldly: "What, General Jiang, what worries do you have? You just tell the truth, if someone is unfavorable to you, this king will also help you." ”
Hearing Dongfang Haonan's words, Jiang Chen's body trembled. Where is this to help him, this is obviously to remind him that he is currently in the same boat as him, and if he acts rashly or conceals the facts, then not only him, but also the people he cares about will suffer the consequences.
Jiang Chen's eyes were closed, he took a deep breath, and Fang said slowly: "Back to the emperor, it was Prince Rui who took out the phoenix talisman and asked the ministers to let Xia Qin come back, saying that there was an old case that needed Xia Qin." When the minister saw the phoenix charm, he didn't dare to let go. ”
Saying this, Jiang Chen hung his head, not daring to look at Dongfang Yunrui and Murong Qingxue.
At this time, Concubine Lin and Dongfang Haonan had a smile on their faces, after all, the crime of abusing the phoenix talisman can be big or small, and this time the queen and Dongfang Yunrui are implicated, if this matter can be used to deal a heavy blow to the two of them, then the harem will naturally be Concubine Lin in charge, and the queen will be punished, then Dongfang Jiechen will naturally be implicated. A phoenix talisman, three birds with one stone, is really worth it!
Sure enough, after hearing this, the emperor's face turned a little angry, and he asked the queen: "Empress, I believe in you so much, but you hide it from me. You've wasted my trust in you. ”
When the queen heard this, she quickly knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, the concubines have nothing to say. ”
Concubine Lin smiled beside her: "Queen Mother, since the phoenix charm is yours, then you said before that you didn't know about this matter, this is a bully, you are the queen, Mu Yitian, isn't this clear?"
Yirong saw that Concubine Lin dared to accuse the queen, and when she couldn't hold it back, she saluted the emperor and Concubine Lin, and said: "Concubine Lin is a concubine, but she blames the queen, isn't this disrespectful?"
Concubine Lin frowned, she didn't expect Yirong to embarrass her in public, so she sneered: "The princess's words are wrong. The queen mother deceived the king, I just couldn't see it and then I spoke. ”
Not to be outdone, Yi Rong also sneered: "My queen mother deceived the king? Then Concubine Lin Niangniang tried to murder Sister Qianlan and accidentally injured Princess Nan, what is this? Isn't this crime more severe than bullying the king? ”
Yi Rong's words were sonorous and powerful, and Concubine Lin's face was red and white. But she is arrogant by nature, how can she make a little girl speechless? She was angry on her face, and said angrily: "Princess, the matter of this palace Princess Qianlan has been understood, and the emperor will no longer pursue reads();." But you are holding on so tightly, don't you even listen to the emperor's words?"
Yi Rong didn't care, and she also sneered: "Father doesn't say it." Sister Asashi didn't pursue it. It is they who are forgiving, but if there are people who are unrepentant and not ashamed. On the contrary, I am proud, and I also regard politeness as a blessing, I believe that my father and sister Qianlan can also change their minds. Concubine Lin, what do you see?"
Concubine Lin was speechless and stared at Yi Rong. Suddenly, seeing that the eyes of the whole audience were looking at her, some disdainful and some disdainful, Concubine Lin panicked. I feel like I've lost face. originally had the upper hand, but at this time, he was said to be in a weak position by Yirong, and suddenly tears crossed his eyes. Kneeling down to the emperor and crying: "Your Majesty, please ask the emperor to be the master of his concubines!"
Yi Rong saw Concubine Lin crying and crying. She was even more disdainful, she couldn't get angry, so she also knelt down and said: "Father, what you said, what the son said is right?"
The emperor was already a little bored, and this was even more depressed by the quarrel between the two.
From now on, Concubine Lin is right, the queen did not refute, that is, she indirectly admitted it. And Yi Rong is right, Concubine Lin is so aggressive, it is indeed inappropriate, and it is difficult to break for a while.
"Yun Rui, you told me that you were participating in the wedding of Prince Nan, why is it that today's situation is not just a big wedding, as if this big wedding is just an episode?" Ling Pingyang's voice sounded neither high nor low, disrupting the tense atmosphere of the scene, and for a while, all eyes shifted to Dongfang Haonan's body.
Dongfang Haonan's face became very ugly, and he lowered his voice and said, "Ling Pingyang, this has nothing to do with you, you'd better not be too troublesome." ”
Ling Pingyang was not convinced, he didn't have a good impression of Dongfang Haonan, so when he heard him say this, he was even more unconvinced, so he said in a weird way: "This has nothing to do with me, but the next thing has something to do with me, so, Lord Nan, you should be polite to me." ”
Ling Pingyang's words were ambiguous, although Dongfang Haonan was very strange, but he was no longer in the mood to care about him at this time, and the focus at this time was still on how the emperor dealt with the queen and Concubine Lin.
At this time, Dongfang Yunrui got up, knelt down and said, "Father, Yun Rui is at fault, and I have come to ask for guilt." ”
The emperor squinted his eyes slightly, and secretly said in his heart, since Yun Rui is guilty, it means that the matter of Feng Fu is true. Although he is his favorite son, he is not easy to favor him in front of everyone.
"Yun Rui, do you want to talk about the phoenix talisman?" the emperor asked.
Dongfang Yunrui's face did not change, and replied: "Yes." Ask your father for forgiveness, the son took the phoenix talisman to bring Xia Qin back from the border pass, Jiang Chen did not lie. ”
When the queen heard this, she was a little angry: "Yun Rui." ”
There was love and pity in the queen's eyes, and there was blame, which made Dongfang Yunrui's heart very warm, he knew that the queen meant that she didn't want him to admit it, and she would just be responsible for the matter of this phoenix talisman alone, and there was no need to implicate him too.
Dongfang Yunrui nodded to the queen, signaling her to rest assured.
Seeing his indifferent face, the emperor was secretly pleased with his bearing, although there was a mistake, but it would be good for Bo Shi to punish, so he said: "The matter of the phoenix fu is ...... from the queen."
Dongfang Yunrui interrupted the emperor's words and said calmly: "Father, please let Rong Erchen come." It is true that Erchen took the phoenix talisman to extract Xia Qin, but it was not the queen's mother. ”
Dongfang Yunrui did not call the queen "queen mother" at this time, but "the queen's mother", which surprised everyone, especially the emperor, he didn't understand a little, so he asked again: "Yunrui, what are you talking about?" ”
Dongfang Yunrui repeated: "Father, the son went to the border this time, and the phoenix talisman he brought with him was the one of the queen mother, and the one that was buried in the back tomb reads();." For fear that the emperor would not understand, Dongfang Yunrui mentioned Houling again.
Hearing the words "Houling" and "Queen Mother", the emperor's face darkened.
That is the first queen, whose name is Qing'er, and she is Yun Rui's biological mother.
Her name is a taboo in Xiling Kingdom, not because of avoidance, but because the emperor decree does not allow it to be mentioned, one is afraid that she will be addicted to memories and unable to extricate herself, and the other reason is that she is afraid that Yun Rui will be sad.
Therefore, no one in Xiling Kingdom dared to mention the first queen in vain.
Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud.
The emperor's affection for the former empress is very deep, which can be seen from his attitude towards Dongfang Yunrui.
Although he has three sons, everyone can see that only the third prince, Dongfang Yunrui, has the highest status in Xiling Kingdom. The eldest prince has passed away, Dongfang Haonan is the eldest son, and Dongfang Jiechen is born to the current queen and is also the son-in-law. However, only Dongfang Yunrui could get the emperor's higher blue eyes, and it was precisely because of this that he rejected Concubine Lin's request to marry Murong Qingxue for Dongfang Haonan, even if it was her only request.
"Alright, let's all get up. Sure enough, at the mention of the former empress, the emperor told everyone to get up.
"Queen, I have misunderstood you. The emperor said to the empress with a little apology, and a resentful light was projected in the eyes of Concubine Lin next to her, this time she didn't hit with a single blow, so she had to think of a countermeasure, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
The queen smiled, her face was calm, of course she understood that this was Yun Rui's way to save herself, so she didn't say anything, just glanced in his direction and smiled.
She didn't laugh because she was exonerated, but because Dongfang Yunrui was willing to care about her, which made her happier than anything.
Murong Qingxue also took a deep breath, and finally there was no danger.
But seeing a mysterious smile on Ling Pingyang's face, she was very puzzled. Not only her, of course, this scene can't escape Jing Li, whose eyes have been staying on him.
Jing Li asked in a low voice, "Brother Pingyang, what is so happy?"
Ling Pingyang looked innocent and said, "No, no." ”
Murong Qingxue didn't believe it, and also asked, "What is going on?" ”
For Murong Qingxue, Ling Pingyang was naturally much more patient, a smile appeared on his face, and he said in his ear: "Look, next, Yun Rui is about to mention the incident of seven years ago, for poison, if you Pingyang recognize the second, no one will dare to admit the first." It will open your eyes. ”
Murong Qingxue suddenly realized, so he stood quietly, waiting to see Dongfang Haonan and Concubine Lin's scene, and there was a faint smile on his face.
Jing Li couldn't see it clearly, and saw that Ling Pingyang's attitude towards herself and the third sister was very different, and she felt a sense of loss in her heart. It's just that Ling Pingyang didn't care, he just glanced at it and withdrew his gaze.
Murong Qingxue saw that she was thinking heavily, so she understood, and she also blamed herself for having a close relationship with Ling Pingyang, so she leaned into Jing Li's ear and said, "Jing Li, don't be too careful. ”
Jingli is simple after all, she was just depressed for a while, and then she got better, and began to look at Ling Pingyang with a stupid look and smile again, because in her opinion, no matter whether Ling Pingyang likes her or not, as long as she likes him and can look at him up close, it is enough.
