Chapter Fifty-Eight: Catching the Adulterer
Hearing what this palace maid said, everyone present was naturally not good at pursuing it again, so they all followed inexplicably into the Taihe Palace.
After everyone walked into the Taihe Palace, they noticed a trace of unusual meaning, now the palace is the time to be lively, the Taihe Hall is empty, at a glance, there is only one palace maid guarding the door of the main hall.
"What's the movement?" said at this moment, and the crowd did not know who spoke.
Afterwards, everyone present also fell silent.
Listening to the women's ** voices and the men's low roars that came from time to time in the Taihe Palace, everyone present didn't have to think about it to know what was going on inside.
"This ...... This ......" led by the old imperial history pointed to the gate of the main hall of the Taihe Hall with a trembling voice, "What's going on?!"
The palace maid guarding the door outside the Taihe Hall shouted loudly: "It's Miss Chu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inside, don't you hurry up and retreat!"
As soon as the words fell, the faces of several old ministers present turned black on the spot.
Although Izumo Province is said to worship medicine and martial arts, it is impossible to govern the country whether it is medical skills or martial arts, and in the final analysis, the real power in the court is still in the hands of scholars.
And what these scholars can't see the most is this kind of corrupt atmosphere, not to mention that it is still His Majesty's birthday, and all countries are coming.
According to Chu Xiaoxiao's words, this is simply a shame to be thrown abroad!
"Ridiculous! ridiculous!" Hearing the words of the palace maid, the old imperial history couldn't help it on the spot, and opened his mouth to reprimand: "His Royal Highness the Prince, as the prince of a country, actually did such a degrading thing on the occasion of His Majesty's birthday banquet, and the young lady of the Chu family is even more shameless......"
Just when the imperial doctor was scolding, a high singing and shouting suddenly came.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
Everyone was shocked, and then hurriedly knelt down, "Wait for your majesty!"
"What's going on?" His Majesty asked in a deep voice, looking at the scene in front of him.
The old imperial historian who had just scolded Yun Lingtian and Chu Xiaoxiao from head to toe stood up and told him what had happened, and after finishing speaking, he didn't forget to bring a sentence, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made such a move, it is a shame for our country, I hope Your Majesty should not be indulgent, as for the Miss Chu family, such a woman, she should be given death on the spot to set an example!"
The voice of the Imperial Doctor was very sonorous and powerful, as if he was not a sour scholar who had lived for more than 70 years, but a master of some hidden world.
As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help but look at the old imperial history who spoke.
You must know that Chu Xiaoxiao is the only daughter of General Feng Miao and Chu Ci's divine doctor. Feng Yao died on the battlefield and sacrificed his life for the country in exchange for a big victory in the battle between the Izumo Kingdom and the Dirong Kingdom, as long as Chu Xiaoxiao did not make a big mistake in rebellion, even His Majesty would not be able to condemn her.
This old man is crazy, isn't he? He even said that he wanted to kill Chu Xiaoxiao?!
Looking at everyone's surprised expressions, the old imperial history became even more proud, and scolded Yun Lingtian for being a prince but being lustful, and Chu Xiaoxiao was a beautiful lady for everyone but did such a filthy thing.
In fact, it's no wonder that this old imperial history is like a river, today's Izumo country is heavy on martial arts and light on literature, and the status of scholars is generally not high, and the position of imperial history doctor has no real power.
The only duty is to supervise the hundred officials, and at this moment, there is an opportunity for this old imperial historian to play, how could he let it go?
As soon as the old Yushi said this, he couldn't hold it back, and it wasn't until nearly a quarter of an hour later that he stopped unfinished and said to His Majesty: "This matter insults the reputation of my Izumo Kingdom, and I hope that Your Majesty will severely punish this pair of adulterers." ”
Hearing this, His Majesty the Emperor's face turned black directly, and everyone present also talked about it.
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came.
"It's so lively. ”
I saw two outstanding-looking girls walking over, one was wearing an alien costume with silver ornaments clanging, and the other was dressed in a fiery red dress, looking dazzling.
And the one who just spoke was a girl dressed in red.
In the crowd, a person who knew Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shout, "Chu Xiaoxiao?!"
As soon as the words fell, the audience was in an uproar.
This is Chu Xiaoxiao, who is the person in the Taihe Palace?!
Seeing everyone's reaction, Chu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows as if she was puzzled and said, "What are you looking at me like this...... Ah, Your Majesty, courtier, Chu Xiaoxiao, see Your Majesty. ”
Chu Xiaoxiao also just saw His Majesty the Emperor at the front of the crowd now, I don't know why, on such an important day, His Majesty the Emperor did not wear the iconic Ming and Huang dragon robe in the past, but wore a regular clothes.
So much so that Chu Xiaoxiao, who had just been attracted by the old imperial history, almost ignored the existence of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Well, let's get flat. His Majesty the Emperor saw Chu Xiaoxiao here, his face softened a little, and then he looked at the old imperial historian who had just spoken, and said in a deep voice: "Aiqing is conclusive. said that Chu Xiaoxiao was inside, how can you explain it now? Aiqing has ruined the reputation of a girl's family so much, won't it ruin Aiqing's name for the rest of her life?"
What scholars cherish most is reputation, and for the old minister, who claims to be honest and honest all his life, reputation is more important than his life.
So at this time, the old imperial history, who was already over the age of old, completely lost the momentum when he spoke just now, and when he heard His Majesty the Emperor's words, he quickly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the old minister didn't mean it, but the palace people guarding the door of the Taihe Hall said that it was the prince and Miss Chu inside, and the old minister was ...... That's ......"
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the people present with a smile, these people included all the forces in the court, and it was definitely not something that Yun Lingtian alone could control at will.
And Yun Lingtian asked these people to come over, presumably to completely ruin her reputation, but unfortunately now it seems to be more like stealing chickens and rice.
"Your Majesty. Chu Xiaoxiao smiled and said to His Majesty the Emperor: "Lord Han was also deceived by others, please forgive him." ”
As soon as the words fell, even the old imperial historian who was kneeling on the ground couldn't help but raise his head to look at Chu Xiaoxiao in surprise. He obviously scolded Chu Xiaoxiao so badly, but he really didn't expect that Chu Xiaoxiao would speak for him in front of His Majesty.
Sensing the gaze of the old imperial historian, Chu Xiaoxiao also smiled back, but at an angle that no one could see, Chu Xiaoxiao's gaze flickered slightly.
She is still waiting for this old man to scold Yun Lingtian and Lin Zhen'er, if she is folded in the middle of the road at this time, it will not be worth the loss?
His Majesty the Emperor glanced at Chu Xiaoxiao, and then said in a deep voice, "Open the door." ”
