Chapter 303: Falling Horse (2)
"Your Majesty, Xu Guogong entered the palace to ask for a meeting." Gonggong Ding reported in a low voice.
A few days ago, the emperor was in a big state of liver fire, and the dragon was weak and resting on the couch. Wen Yan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't I say it? The queen is to be closed in the palace and no one is allowed to visit. Let Xu Guogong go back! ”
Gonggong Ding coughed and cleared his throat: "The emperor misunderstood." Xu Guogong did not come to visit the queen's mother, but because Xu Yuma fell off his horse and died. ”
What the?
Xu Juma is dead?
The emperor was a little surprised, Huo Ran sat up straight from the bed: "When did this happen?" How I don't know! ”
Xu Juma is the husband of Princess Changping and the son-in-law of the emperor. Although his identity is not as good as that of the prince and grandson, he is also a serious member of the royal family. It's really shocking to die like this.
Gonggong Ding thought of Xu Guogong's gloomy face and Princess Changping's ugly face, and couldn't help but show a look of embarrassment on his face: "How it is, the slave doesn't know very well." I only heard Xu Guogong say that the horse rode to play this morning, but the horse was moved, and he suddenly went crazy on the way. Xu Juma didn't take any precautions, and fell off the horse and died. ”
After a pause, he said cautiously: "Not only Xu Guogong, but Her Royal Highness Princess Changping is also here." They are all waiting outside the palace to see the emperor! ”
Although the emperor is old, he has not reached the point of being old and confused.
As soon as I heard Gonggong Ding's words, I knew that there was something else going on in this matter.
No matter how weak the dragon body is, such a major event of life and death cannot be ignored.
"Someone, change my clothes." The emperor commanded in a deep voice, and said to Gonggong Ding: "Let them wait in the palace first." ”
Duke Ding received the order to retreat, and after leading the gloomy Duke Xu and Princess Changping into the palace, he faintly felt that something was wrong. Quietly ordered the chamberlain to go to the Tai Hospital, and invited the Tai Doctor Wei first.
The emperor has been on fire in the past few days, and there are signs of an attack on the old disease. But I can't stand the toss anymore.
……
The emperor stepped into the palace.
Xu Guogong's age is almost the same as that of the emperor. Because of the pain of losing a child, he looks even older and haggard. When he saw the emperor, he knelt down without saying a word, and the old tears flowed for a long time: "Your Majesty, the death of the concubine is too wrongful." The old minister is incapable of handling family affairs, and he asks the emperor to be the master of the old minister! ”
The emperor chuckled in his heart, and reflexively glanced at Princess Changping.
Princess Changping's thoughts were chaotic along the way, and she couldn't figure out where the business trip was, let alone what kind of "ironclad evidence" Xu Guogong was holding. Seeing the emperor at this time, the confidence is a lot stronger.
My father has always loved her the most! No matter what, the father will be towards her!
Xu Qian is dead, and she still wants to pay for her life as a dignified princess?
When Princess Changping thought about this, a little panic suddenly disappeared. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and knelt down with red eyes: "Father, my daughter was shocked to hear the bad news of the horse, and she was sad and sad, so she deliberately returned to the Xu family to fulfill her duties as a wife." Unexpectedly, Grandpa Guo kept framing his daughter, insisting that his daughter had harmed the colt. My daughter is really wronged! Ask the father to administer justice for his daughter! ”
As he spoke, he cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain.
The emperor's ominous premonition was confirmed. I only felt the blood in my whole body surging to my head, and my temples were pounding.
Emotionally speaking, he must be towards his eldest daughter.
Intellectually speaking, he knew better that Xu Guogong would never dare to make waves without wind and waves. Queen Xu's mother and son are the backers of the Xu family, if Xu Guogong didn't hate it to the extreme, how could he come to the palace to sue Changping?
This Changping!
There are also faces crying and pretending to be here!
Xu Qian's death must have nothing to do with her!
The more the emperor thought about it, the more annoyed he became, but he didn't show it on his face, and first said to Xu Guogong: "Xu Aiqing, don't kneel when you're old." Let's talk about what to say. ”
Xu Guogong refused to get up, and cried with a handful of snot and tears: "The emperor married his beloved daughter to the Xu family, and our Xu family is grateful to Dade, respectful to the princess, and never dares to be a little neglectful." The colt is stupid and dull, and does not please the princess. Our Xu family also felt ashamed of the princess. Therefore, the princess lived alone in the princess's mansion, and we never complained. ”
"The colt is indeed mediocre, and is not worthy of the princess. But other than that, the colt didn't do anything to be sorry for the princess. The old minister never expected that the princess would be so dissatisfied with the colt that she secretly asked her to do something and ask for the pony's life......"
Princess Changping gritted her teeth with hatred, forgot to even pretend to cry, glared at Xu Guogong angrily and scolded: "Old horseman! What proof do you have that I hurt the colt? He still framed me like this in front of my father! If you can't produce evidence today, don't blame me for being polite! ”
Xu Guogong didn't look at Princess Changping, and cried to the emperor: "Since the old minister dares to come to the palace to talk about this, there is evidence. ”
"The princess secretly bought off the Xu family's groom and drugged the feed of the horse that the concubine often rides. And he put iron spikes on the stirrups. The old minister has already brought the groom. Please also ask the emperor to take a look! ”
Princess Changping's whole body trembled, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Isn't that groom already secretly arranged? How can you still live well?
Xu Guogong's last words completely crushed Princess Changping: "Also, the guards arranged by the princess to kill people and destroy their mouths, and the old ministers also brought them into the palace. If Her Royal Highness the princess is innocent, she might as well confront the emperor in front of her. Let's see if the old minister is full of nonsense and frames Her Royal Highness the Princess, or Her Royal Highness the Princess is ruthless and murderous! ”
Princess Changping's whole body trembled, and she no longer had the same domineering attitude as before.
When the emperor heard this, there was something he didn't understand, and his anger rose suddenly, and his face turned red: "Changping!" What the hell is going on with this qiē! You tell me the truth! ”
Changping was speechless for a long time.
The emperor's dragon body shook for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Come on, announce them into the palace!" ”
The groom and the guards that Xu Guogong said were quickly escorted into the palace.
After kneeling, the two kowtowed again and again to forgive: "Please ask the emperor to spare his life!" The slave was confused for a while, and received the silver sent by Her Royal Highness the Princess, so he had the courage to drug the feed and put iron thorns in the stirrups. This qiē was all done by the servants instructed by Her Royal Highness the Princess......"
"Your Majesty, the servant was ordered by Her Royal Highness the princess to buy the groom with a lot of money. After the deed is done, kill him again. But before the minion could make a move, he was caught. The slave knew that this was a capital crime, and he did not dare to ask the emperor to spare his life. I only hope that the emperor will spare the slave's family. ”
Xu Guogong's heart was like a knife when he heard it, and he cried and fell to the palace: "Ask the emperor to avenge the dead horse!" ”
The emperor's eyes were dark, and he almost fainted. (To be continued.) )
