237 Questioned in court

When Ruan Yanluo walked into the hall, the civil and military clubs of the Manchu Dynasty looked at her.

They all wanted to see what a woman who could make Nangong Ling hesitate to let go of the prince of the enemy country for her sake, and was willing to be beaten and punished in front of the palace, was like.

Ruan Yanluo was wearing a mint-colored dress today, which instantly brought a sense of coolness in the hot summer of June.

"Courtier Ruan Yanluo, see the emperor." Everyone's eyes were as if Ruan Yanluo was nothing, and she stepped forward with a dignified demeanor and slowly bowed.

The emperor's gaze has not left Ruan Yanluo's body since she came in.

This woman is becoming more and more like Hongyan, no matter which angle, which posture, it is all like.

"You stand up, look up and talk back." The emperor said, his voice unconsciously softened.

Ruan Yanluo stood up and raised his head neither humbly nor arrogantly. She had seen the emperor several times, but each time she had not seriously looked at this towering man, and at this time the emperor asked her to look up and reply, which gave her a chance to take a look.

Although the man sitting on the throne had just passed his fiftieth birthday, he was still very young in appearance, only in his early forties at most. The outline of his facial features is still very clear, and you can imagine the handsome and chic appearance of his youth, but at this time, he has been on the throne for many years, and he is a little more majestic and gloomy.

"Your Majesty......" Yesterday's supervisor couldn't help but shout.

They asked Ruan Yanluo to ask for sin, but how could the emperor look like he wanted to ask about sin?

When the emperor was beheaded by the prison official, he also felt that he was too gentle with Ruan Yanluo, so he coughed uncomfortably and asked, "Ruan Yanluo, are you guilty?" ”

"The courtiers don't know." Ruan Yanluo replied immediately.

"Your Majesty, the lord of Yanluo County is making a big fuss about the execution ground, and he should give an explanation no matter what." The warden said.

"Ruan Yanluo, do you hear me?" The Emperor said.

"The emperor is talking about my two handmaidens?" Ruan Yanluo smiled: "The courtiers are doing this for the sake of the emperor. ”

"You are clearly robbing the law field, and you dare to quibble!"

Ruan Yanluo's eyes were cold, staring at the prison officer and said: "My lord is in a hurry to report to the emperor that I took away those two girls, and I don't know if the adults have told the emperor about the discussion of today's execution ground." ”

The supervisor was dumbfounded, those who said that the guards of the capital were not effective, the officials were intertwined, and the responsibility was put on to the little woman, how could he dare to say it to the emperor?

"What did you say on the execution ground?" The Emperor asked, his tone a little gloomy. These courtiers are used to deceiving their superiors and subordinates, and Ruan Yanluo said that something must have happened on the execution ground that he did not know.

Ruan Yanluo didn't speak, just smiled and looked at the prison officer.

The prison officer was overwhelmed by the emperor's gloomy gaze and Ruan Yanluo's seemingly casual but coercive gaze, so he had no choice but to repeat the discussion of everyone on the execution ground.

With each word, the emperor's face became gloomy.

He was the one who ordered Lan Yue and Lan Xing to be beheaded, and now these discussions actually seem that he doesn't know what happened.

After Ruan Yanluo and the other officials finished speaking, he saluted and said: "Your Majesty, beheading these two maidservants is small, which makes people think that my Tianyao officials are angry and blame the big thing, and maybe it will damage the emperor's sage." Moreover, the courtiers are the parties concerned, and they know best whether these two servants are loyal to the lord, and they are really wronged. ”

Lan Yue Lan Xing didn't care if he was wronged by the emperor at all, the reason why he did it was just because Ruan Xixian said that this would allow Ruan Yanluo to come back.

If Ruan Yanluo had returned to Beijing, the two slaves and maids would not matter to him, but if it would damage his reputation, he would not want to see it.

"I don't think the defense of this capital is really like words." The emperor sank his face and said: "If such a big thing happens, I will take two little maids to take the blame, what use do I want you to do!" ”

The emperor was furious, and immediately knelt on the ground below, all of them sincerely frightened.

Ruan Yanluo asked, "Your Majesty, the two slaves and maids of the courtiers ......?"

"Just take it back and see who dares to speak!"

The supervisor knelt on the ground and only felt that his heart was as bitter as eating Coptis chinensis, so that the emperor who beheaded the two little girls was originally the emperor, but now that the emperor turned his face and refused to admit it, he couldn't rush up to say. Having said that, it will only make your head fall out faster.

He can only be a dumb person now, no matter how bitter this coptis is, he can only swallow it by himself.

Glancing at Ruan Yanluo, he now understood that the emperor's tolerance for this county lord was beyond everyone's imagination, and he shouldn't offend Ruan Yanluo at all.

Ruan Yanluo got the emperor's permission, bowed down with a blessed body, and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

The emperor reprimanded the ministers with a cold face and ordered them to immediately submit a plan to rectify the defense of Gyeonggi, which dissipated a little anger.

Just as he was about to say to everyone that there was nothing to do and retreat, suddenly a minister stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the return of the Lord of Yanluo to Kyoto is very strange, and it needs to be investigated in detail!" ”

Ruan Yanluo's eyes moved, the emperor had already sunk his face, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

The emperor's tone was very gloomy when he said this, and his face was as dark as if he could drip water.

Ruan Yanluo's appearance at his birthday banquet was clear to him, how could he not know that Ruan Yanluo was abducted? It's just that he doesn't want to turn his face with Ruan Xixian now, so he naturally doesn't want to pursue this matter, he just wants to turn a blind eye to the past.

Even if you really want to do something, you have to wait until Ruan Yanluo is sixteen years old, and Ruan Xixian's card is useless. At that time, the emperor will naturally settle accounts with the Ruan family.

But this blind courtier dared to say such things in front of the court.

"The county lord of Yanluo was taken away by Weiliu Xiao'er, and he escaped back after a lot of hard work, he must have suffered a lot of grievances, I can't bear to see the county lord of Yanluo sad, let's discuss this matter later."

After the emperor finished speaking, he planned to order the retreat from the court, and the meaning that he did not want to talk about this matter was very obvious, and these people would not not not understand.

But what the emperor didn't expect was that the courtier didn't seem to understand his words, ignoring his hints, kowtowed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, that Wei Han is treacherous and cunning, it can be seen from the chaos he caused in the capital, since he caught the county lord of Yanluo, he will inevitably guard carefully, may I ask, how did such a weak woman as the county lord of Yanluo escape under the strict guard of Wei Liu?" ”

When this sentence was spoken, the emperor couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

Ruan Yanluo returned to Kyoto unscathed, which was originally the biggest suspicion. If the emperor does not explain to the hundred officials here, it will be tantamount to favoring Ruan Yanluo and the enemy's country, which is a fundamental problem that shakes the country, and there must be no negligence.

For a moment, all eyes were on Ruan Yanluo.
