Chapter 130: Confrontation
Lu Yi was confident, the villain's face was really hateful, Qingjia bit her lip, although she had a faint sense of foreboding in her heart, but now was not the time to panic. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
So, Qing Jia broke away from the hand held by Chen Wei, and looked directly at Lu Yi with black and white eyes, without half stage fright at all, his face was calm, the corners of his lips were a little tight, but his expression was very resolute.
"Then please ask Lord Lu to invite people out."
Isn't there a saying that if she panics and panics at this time, she has already lost in momentum.
Gu Yan saw Qing Jia'an's appearance, and his heart was originally very nervous, but at this moment, he was also calmer for no reason.
She nodded to Qing Jia invisibly, her eyes signaled that she didn't need to panic, Qing Jia gently hooked the corners of her lips, giving her a reassuring look.
Seeing Qingjia so forcibly calm, Lu Yi laughed at her innocence and indiscretion in his heart, since he dared to bring these to the scene, it was natural that he was completely sure, if he let him easily fall down and beat a rake and fool the past, it would really be in vain to blind him for so many years of hard work in the court.
The emperor actually didn't want to embarrass Qingjia, because even if this matter was true, it was not a big crime, after all, there was no chaos, although it was a rule since ancient times, and the generals who were outside the country were not allowed to leave Beijing, what they did was just to contain the generals who were alone and had heavy troops in their hands.
But what was the situation at that time, Chen Wei was seriously injured, his life and death were unknown, if it was a bit far-fetched to say that the intentions were wrong, and they finally came back, and now it doesn't mean much to pull it out, and the emperor naturally thinks that this matter is offended Chen Wei.
It's just that Lu Yi has to say, then he is also difficult to ride a tiger, so he has to be accurate: "Where are the people?" ”
Lu Yi replied: "The witness is the nurse who is breastfeeding the son in the general's mansion. ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole house was shocked.
Qingjia tried his best to restrain his emotions and not reveal half of his uneasiness, but he couldn't suppress the turbulent waves in his heart.
The spy really came from his own house!
In this way, that nurse is actually the eyeliner sent by Lu Yi!?
The terrible thing is that they have been employing people for a long time, but they still don't know anything about it, and they even allow her to take care of Chen Xi every day, what kind of fear is this.
Today, Lu Yiyuan is much more gloomy than before,-for-tat with each other, and the situation of not dying can no longer be changed, in this case, she carelessly let his people into her own house, and also **** accompanied her son, how can this not shock Qingjia.
At this moment, she is both hating and enduring.
Compared with Qingjia's depression, Chen Wei is much calmer, expressionless from beginning to end, his complexion is very cold, no matter what Lu Yi says, he will not move, and outsiders can't get any mood ups and downs from his slightly drooping eyelids and tight lips.
At this moment, he glanced at Lu Yi, and the corners of his lips seemed to be smiling: "That is the case, Steward Chen," the butler immediately stepped forward, bowed his body, lowered his head, and obeyed the order: "Bring someone over." ”
Steward Chen replied in a low voice: "Yes." ”
But after half a cup of tea, Chen Xi's nurse was brought up.
This is an ordinary woman who has not read a book, and only lives by taking care of nursing children in a large family on weekdays.
As soon as she came in, she knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave has seen the emperor and all the adults......"
The emperor exempted her from the courtesy, and went straight in: "You are the nurse in this house?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the slave is exactly."
"Okay, then let me ask you, you take care of the prince day and night, do you have close contact with the general's wife on weekdays?"
The emperor was kind and persuasive, and he looked gentle, but he did not show any anxiety, showing a clear distinction between public and private.
The nurse was still trembling, and she didn't dare to raise her head: "Mrs. loves the prince very much, and every morning she has to carefully ask whether the prince's appetite is okay and whether his body is safe. ”
The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, then some people now say that the general's wife left the mansion and left Beijing a few days ago, and she is nowhere to be found, and you have frequent contact with the lady in the mansion, so now come and tell me, is this true?" ”
The nurse's body trembled, knelt on the ground, and finally nodded: "Yes." ”
The emperor pondered for a moment, his eyes burned, and he said in a deep voice: "This matter is very important, if you dare to speak, it is the crime of deceiving the king, do you know what the consequences are?" ”
His majestic questioning was actually just a scene of words, and his intention was not to threaten the nurse, but to express to everyone present, especially Chen Wei: I am selfless, and everything is handled impartially.
Hearing this, Chen Wei sneered and owed it to him, the emperor's pretense like this, he was not uncommon, and it would not be any different because it fell on his head today.
If he still had the slightest hope for this faint monarch, it would have disappeared when he blatantly abolished it.
Tiger poison does not eat children, this truth even animals understand, but their high-ranking emperor His Majesty doesn't seem to care at all.
When such a person becomes an emperor, it is really a misfortune for the country and a misfortune for the common people.
Today, Lu Yi dared to point fingers in front of him like this, and it is unknown who instructed him behind him, but it is already obvious that the emperor is suspicious of him.
Who are you showing now that you have a clear distinction between public and private?
As soon as he thought of this, his calm mind was a little turbulent, I don't know if he had experienced too much on the battlefield, and some anger in his heart was always easy to pop up suddenly, making him have the urge to be bloodthirsty.
Chen Wei looked around at the people with different expressions, and finally fell on Lu Yi's face, and the corners of his lips slowly hooked, so who should be attacked today?
The nurse is no better than Chen Wei, hearing this, she was so frightened at the moment that she couldn't do it, and said again and again: "Your Majesty, the slave doesn't dare to talk nonsense, I heard a few days ago that the general was seriously injured in the southeast, and since that time the lady has never appeared in the mansion, please let Your Majesty know that what I said is true, and I dare not have half a sentence adulterated." ”
The emperor couldn't see others crying in front of him, and was about to scold, but Gu Yan, who didn't want to be on the side, snorted coldly and took the lead: "Ha, you cheap maid also said that you didn't lie, you said that the general's wife was not in the mansion a few days ago, and she disappeared for a long time, this is just a one-sided statement, if the palace asks people to call all the subordinates in this mansion, if others have a discrepancy with your dictation, what should it do?" Gu Yan's salty words made the nurse paralyzed in fright: "...... Then they will pull out your tongue so that you will no longer be the one who has the long tongue and many things. ”
"Niangniang, Niangniang, slave maid......"
Gu Yan slowly got up at this moment, pressed in the air behind him, signaled the people present to be quiet, and then straightened his waist and said, "I said that you cheap woman slandered and risked your life." You said that the general's wife went out of Beijing without permission and was not in the palace, but it is clear that the palace had seen the lady and the prince twice a few days ago, and the records of entering and leaving were recorded in the palace guard, you explain it so? ”
The nurse panicked instantly, she didn't know what to do, what she said was true, Qingjia was indeed not in the house during that time, although the housekeeper strictly forbade others to mention this matter, the affairs of the house were still tightly organized, and there was no difference, but since the birth of the child, Qingjia can't wait to stick with her son every day, and she doesn't want to be separated for a moment.
During that time, she was sure that Madame was not in the house.
But now that Gu Yan said this, she panicked, and she didn't know how to make people believe that her words were true, so she could only cry over and over again: "No, no, the slave doesn't dare......"
Just when the scene was about to get out of control, Fu Anrong watched the show for a long time on the side, and finally opened her mouth, only to see her take a sip of tea, glanced at Gu Yan from the corner of her eyes, and said: "Who in this palace doesn't know that the sisterhood between the concubine and the general's wife is very deep, and the lady of the nurse is full of slander, so I don't know if the lady also takes care of the sisterhood and intends to cover it up?" ”
Fu Anrong hit the nail on the head, not only did not take the topic away from Qingjia's matter, but also pulled Gu Yan into the water by the way, and put on a hat to cover up.
At this time, the emperor also glanced at Gu Yan meaningfully and then looked at Fu Anrong, and said, "Then according to what Concubine Ai said, how should this matter be considered fair?" ”
If this continues, there will certainly be no conclusion, and each side has witnesses and insists on its own words, and it has reached a deadlock, but it cannot be hastily resolved.
Fu Anrong pursed her lips and chuckled: "Don't be like this, the emperor is just a woman, she doesn't understand everything, but she doesn't dare to point fingers at important things in the court." Your Majesty is wise and martial, so naturally you don't need your concubines to talk too much to find out about things. ”
This is a very decent statement, which not only exempts the involvement of meddling in political affairs in front of the courtiers, but also praises the emperor by the way.
Sure enough, the emperor's expression softened a little, and he said dotingly: "I love the concubine, but it doesn't hurt to say it, if you can really figure things out, then it won't be limited to the older generation." ”
Fu Anrong spoke out and said: "Since this is the case, then the right to be a concubine throwing bricks and jade, just talking nonsense." According to the concubine, this nurse's words are weak and weak, after all, they are one-sided and not credible. But the words of people in this mansion who are good friends with the general are not completely trusted, which is really inevitably suspected of covering up and conniving. ”
The Emperor nodded, feeling that this was reasonable.
The corners of Fu Anrong's mouth curled, and she smiled: "If you want to prove that the general's wife did not go out of Beijing without permission, then you only need to prove whether there were outsiders who saw the lady during that time, there will never be two people who are exactly the same in this world, one in the southeast and the other in Huadu." ”
This is reasonable, and it really makes people have no other way to refute.
Fu Anrong looked at Qingjia and said in a very gentle tone: "Then dare to ask the general's wife, during the period between the general's serious injury and his return to the dynasty, have you seen outsiders, or have outsiders seen you?" ”
Qingjia was silent for a moment, but she already had a conclusion in her mind, and now she can't admit it anyway, because now if she admits that she left Beijing without permission and doesn't say that according to the emperor, she was afraid of Chen Wei, and she can't wait to get rid of it quickly, and then she will definitely not be able to use the topic to play.
Just what Gu Yan said just now, she now admits it, it will inevitably affect Gu Yan, and the crime of bullying the king can be big or small.
So, she looked at Fu Anrong quietly, and said word by word: "In those days, I was unwell and never left the house......"
Just as she was slowly speaking, a clear voice suddenly came, interrupting her narration and thoughts.
"The minister can also testify to this."
Qing Jia turned his head and looked in the direction of the source of the voice, and it turned out to be a handsome man of the same age as Chen Wei coming out, and his eyes met, and a sense of strangeness and familiarity swept in.
The man's eyes were smiling, and he was gentle and elegant between his eyebrows, very handsome, although he could not compare to Chen Wei's delicate dust, but he was also a rare beautiful man.
It's just that......
Qing Jia didn't understand what this person meant by what he said at this time?
The emperor and the people present were also stunned, and asked instead, "Ye Aiqing, what do you mean by this?" ”
That's right, that person was Ye Xiuyu, the new university scholar who had talked to Chen Wei that day.
I saw Ye Xiuyu arch his hand, bent down and made a half-salute, and said: "A few days ago, it happened that Weichen first arrived in Huadu, and I heard that the general's wife has good medical skills and is good at all kinds of incurable diseases. ”
He speaks fluently and is a natural cousin, making everyone feel that things are going to turn around.
“…… My wife was also quite embarrassed at first, but the doctor was kind and compassionate, so she prescribed an acupuncture and prescription for me, which greatly relieved my pain. ”
At this time, he looked at Qingjia, nodded and arched his hand, "In this way, I haven't thanked Madame yet," his eyes were full of a gentle smile: "Thank Madame for giving me medicine that day." ”
The expression on Qingjia's face was almost unbearable, although he didn't know why he did this, but he had to follow his words at the moment: "Lord Ye's words are serious, but it's just a gesture, it's not worth mentioning." ”
The emperor probably didn't expect the development of events to be like this, and he could only laugh dryly at this moment: "Ye Aiqing is tired......"
At this time, Ye Xiuyu also retired, and the polite greetings with the emperor also retreated, but the glance at Qingjia at the end was meaningful.
Qingjia was confused, but still forced to calm down.
With Ye Xiuyu coming forward like this, things suddenly became much clearer.
The emperor was a little embarrassed, Fu Anrong's face was very ugly, the nurse had already fainted in fright, and everyone present had different expressions.
Lu Yi, who had been very determined to win since just now, was pale-faced at the moment, his eyes were about to split, and his hands were clenched into fists with his hands in his sleeves, and he still couldn't believe that his move had come to this point.
Lost?
“…… Even so, it should be a misunderstanding to think about it," the emperor is also difficult to step down now, looked at Qingjia, and said gently: "I am really wronged Mrs. ”
When Lu Yi heard this, he knew that this move had failed, and he hated it in his heart, Lu Qingjia Sure enough, I still underestimated you!
But it's far from over -
"Your Majesty, even though the matter of the general's wife leaving Beijing has not been decided, but the matter of Chen Wei privately stationing troops is absolutely true and cannot be denied!"
At this time, Lu Yi seemed to grasp the last straw, he almost forgot, compared with Qingjia leaving Beijing without permission, it is obvious that adopting a private army is the most important thing!
It's hateful, he almost disturbed their minds just now, and he avoided the serious!
Lu Yi didn't dare to look directly at Chen Wei from just now, and he didn't know where he got the courage at this moment, so he straightened his waist and raised his head to ask Chen Wei: "What do you say about this, general?" ”
At this moment, Chen Wei, who had never said a word, slowly got up, looked condescendingly at Lu Yi, who couldn't help but be short of breath although he tried to bluff, and said casually:
"You're done?"
That's great. (To be continued.) )
