Chapter 254: The Palace Trial

It was the darkest time before dawn, and I don't know if it was because of the panic in her heart or the chill, Xue Ying was trembling all the way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but after entering the inner hall, it suddenly calmed down.

Anyway, it's all here, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?

After entering, he found that not only the emperor and Xue Qi were there, but also the third lady Liao Yunxi and Xue Yao were also there. Xue Ying looked at her nose and nose and heart, stopped herself from thinking nonsense, and knelt down to salute: "Shunrou greets the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

Father-in-law Gao whispered a few words in front of him, and the emperor snorted and said, "Father-in-law Gao, this matter is up to you." ”

"Yes. Gao Gonggong turned around and spoke in a slightly sharp voice, "At three o'clock today, a secret guard in Pangulou found that someone had secretly broken into the confidential archives room to steal the secret document "Dagu Border Defense Deployment Map", but when he wanted to capture this person, he was intercepted by a third person and failed to prevent the other party from escaping. The thief's masked scarf that had stolen the secret documents during the battle fell, and the secret guard saw the right side of the opponent's face and confirmed...... "Father-in-law Gao's eyes turned between Xue Yao and Xue Ying, "It's either the Lord of Shunrou or Miss Xue Er." And the doorman of Pangu Tower also confirmed that there was a masked woman holding a white token to enter Pangu Tower today, and according to her eyebrows, she could only confirm that person was one of the two two people, Lord Shunrou or Miss Xue Er. ”

Xue Ying couldn't help but look at Xue Yao, who knelt beside Liao Yunxi with a straight spine and a calm expression. Liao Yunxi also changed his previous kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and now his expression is cold and expressionless.

Xue Ying didn't bother to look at Xue Qi's expression anymore - it would only be colder and more ruthless than the two of them anyway.

Gao Gonggong continued: "According to Xue Shenzheng's wife Liao, Second Miss Xue has never left the Hou Mansion today, but the Shunrou County Lord does not need to report when he enters and leaves the Hou Mansion, so his whereabouts cannot be confirmed. Lord Shunrou, where are you today when you are in the middle of the day, can anyone testify?"

Xue Ying bit her lower lip hard to suppress the blood surging in her body, and although her chest was about to explode, her face remained steady. Because she is going back to Jiuquan Beizhuang tomorrow, she went to bed early today to rest, and it was Dong Xun who was waiting outside, and she could testify.

But what's the use of her saying that? Dong Xun can only prove that she is asleep, but not that she has stayed in the room all the time. Besides, she didn't want Dongxun or anyone in the courtyard to get involved in this.

The chest burned more and more, and the muscles at the corners of Xue Ying's mouth twitched slightly, as if a wry smile was more like sarcasm: No wonder Aunt Qing took Dong Xun away in such a hurry, so it is. Liao Yunxi pinched Dong Xun in her hands, and she, Xue Ying, had to lie for Xue Yao in front of the emperor.

In order to keep her daughter, she can really use any dirty means.

"Lord Shunrou?" Gao Gonggong reminded again.

Xue Ying swallowed the hard lump of her throat hard, put her head on the ground, and said in a steady tone: "Back to the emperor, it is indeed me who is looking through the confidential files." ”

The emperor sneered and sat up straight: "What is the purpose?"

Xue Ying clenched her fists and tried her best to stay calm: "There is no purpose, just curiosity." ”

"Curious, did you know that stealing secret documents is a capital offense for the three clans?"

Isn't that including the emperor? Xue Ying smiled suddenly and looked up at the emperor: "Shunrou is not guilty. ”

The emperor's eyes were cold: "Oh?"

"Your Majesty, Shun Rou feels that she has the qualifications to consult the secret documents. Although I entered the Pangu Tower with a white token, I still have another purple token on my body, and the holder of the purple token should be eligible to consult the secret documents, right?"

The emperor remained silent, as if he had long known that she had a purple token on her: "What identity do you think you are qualified to use the purple token?

"The purple token does not set identity restrictions on users, and since Shunrou owns it, she has the right to use it. Xue Ying was righteous.

"It's not a small amount of courage, it seems that I have been pretending to be a nest in front of me before!" The emperor did not continue to investigate, but quickly turned the question to the other side, "Who is the person who saved you? Where is it now?"

This question caught Xue Ying off guard, but her eyes didn't dare to move, she resisted the urge to look at the other three people, lowered her head and quickly found a suitable candidate: "It's Xue who participates in politics." ”

"Xue Qi?" the emperor glanced at his closest courtiers and asked, "Why did he come to save you?"

This question after question makes people have no time to think about it, the lie needs to be covered up with another lie, and if she continues to ask this question, she will definitely be exposed.

"Probably...... Probably because he thought I was Miss Xue Er. ”

"Probably?"

"He only saw the scar on my face after he rescued me from the Pangu Tower, and then left in a rage, so I think he must have accidentally recognized the wrong person. ”

"Hmm. The emperor looked at her inscrutablely, "In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

"Your Majesty," Xue Ying knelt and took two steps forward, looking eager, "Shun Rou has a purple token, and he checked the confidential files just out of curiosity, and the injury to the secret guard was done by Xue Shen Politics alone, and it has nothing to do with Shun Rou." Although the person Xue Shenzheng saved was me, the original intention was to protect his daughter, and the emperor should ask him about his crimes!"

"You mean, you are not guilty, and Xue is guilty of participating in politics?"

"Yes!"

"In order to exonerate yourself, you don't hesitate to push your biological father to bear the guilt, your heart is really ruthless. The emperor sighed.

Xue Ying gritted her teeth: "Shun Rou is the heir of the Suiwang Mansion, and it has nothing to do with the Jian'an Hou Mansion!"

"It has nothing to do with Xue Qi at all?"

"The blood relationship cannot be changed, but Shun Rou can swear that she will only regard Xue Senzheng as a stranger in this life. ”

"Stranger?" the emperor shook his head, "is it possible?"

Xue Ying's eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth: "Since I almost died in his hands two years ago, I swear that I hate him in this life and will never forgive." ”

The emperor chewed on these eight words again and again, and asked, "What about the Liao family?" I heard that the relationship between the two of you is not bad?"

Hmph, how can it be okay after what happened today?

Xue Ying let herself show a look full of mockery: "She will pretend to be a good person, but in fact, she is the most mean and vicious, I look down on her! In the past, pretending to be close to her was just an expedient measure." ”

Xue Yao suddenly came through with an extremely resentful gaze, and Liao Yunxi gently pulled her to stop her from speaking.

The emperor looked at Xue Qi: "Xue participates in politics, what do you think?"

"The emperor will definitely see it. ”

"Hehe, how can I find out? You are biological father and daughter, and you are connected by blood, even if you hate each other, you still have a heart. obviously didn't even have a chance to make eye contact, but the lies told fit seamlessly. You also said that you saved the person who stole the secrets, and you also said that it was because you mistakenly thought that person was your second daughter......" The emperor suddenly slammed the desk one after another, angrily reprimanding, "Are you fools when I am a fool?!"
