Chapter 135: Verdict Pronounced
In the East Palace, the crown prince sat aside, glancing in the direction of the screen from time to time.
The crown princess paused, stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, it's better to find someone to wake up the people inside!" ”
When the prince answered, the princess walked towards the outside of the palace, called the attendants who were guarding outside the palace, took the well water from elsewhere, and entered the screen in the palace.
After a while, there was movement within the screen.
Meng Sheng's eyes slowly opened, and the feeling around him was very unfamiliar, he only felt that his arms were heavy, as if he had been pressed by something, and slowly turned his head, but saw that there were three thousand green silks beside him, soft and very tight in all corners.
Looking down further, there was the mutton-fat face, the eyes on the face were closed, the black eyelashes were long, and the red lips were purging, and when it moved down, there were a few red marks on the slender neck.
He froze, pulled out his arm, no longer cared about the people beside him, straightened his clothes, and after putting them on, he walked out of the screen and looked at the prince sitting firmly in the chair.
He arched his hand and said, "Your Highness might as well say something directly, why bother with such a trick?" ”
Meng Sheng was still so calm at this time, which was really unexpected by the prince, but since the wood was already in the boat, no matter how capable he was, Meng Sheng would not be able to reverse the defeat, even if he found out that there was medicine in his body, since he had already had a head and tail with the six princesses, the royal family would never allow him to do anything that would damage the reputation of the six princesses.
The prince smiled and said, "Meng Shilang said that he laughed, if you had already liked the sixth sister and married her, why bother to break her body and ruin her reputation?" ”
Listen to it like this. But it was the prince who completely blamed Meng Sheng on the matter, and Meng Sheng also knew that no matter what was the prince's bureau, the prince would stand out from this game, and he was determined to lose it.
Meng Sheng said, "Since His Royal Highness said so, but the matter is in the East Palace, please ask Your Highness to go to the imperial study with Weichen and explain it to Your Majesty!" ”
The prince stood up. Dressed up. Looking at the crown princess standing on the side, the crown princess understood, and said, "Meng Shilang just left?" What should the sixth sister do? ”
Meng Sheng glanced at the crown princess. There was no sound. Just walk up behind the screen.
The sixth princess, who had not yet woken up, was sitting on the couch at the moment. looked at Meng Sheng with bright eyes, as if he had done a great deal of courage before he could speak, "Meng Jialangjun." I..."
Speaking of this, I want to stop talking.
Meng Sheng didn't wait for her to speak, and said directly, "Weichen has her in his heart, and he refused to marry for her, is the princess still willing to marry Weichen?" ”
The sixth princess was stunned, she never thought that Meng Sheng would say such a thing, she thought that when she sobered up, Meng Sheng would look at her with disgust, and then she was forced to marry her.
didn't expect that when she woke up, it was Meng Sheng's calm treatment, but although her face was expressionless, she could also cry excitedly, does this mean that Meng Sheng didn't hate her, but liked Luo Rongwan more.
Thinking about it, the sixth princess nodded hurriedly, for fear that Meng Sheng would regret it, "I am willing." ”
Seeing that the sixth princess responded, Meng Sheng nodded slightly, and then said, "Please dress up the princess and go with Weichen to meet Your Majesty!" His gaze swept over her neck.
The sixth princess subconsciously lowered her head, she couldn't see the scenery in her neck, but she could see the red mark on her chest, her face turned red suddenly, and she didn't dare to look at Meng Sheng standing in front of her.
However, Meng Sheng didn't stay long, he walked directly to the screen, and when he walked in front of the crown princess, he said softly, "Please ask the princess to find a belt for the princess that can cover her neck." ”
If you swagger in the palace like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before the reputation of the six princesses will turn bad in the palace, in any case, this matter can only be known to these few people, if it is revealed, not only will the saint not like it, but even the reputation of the royal family will be damaged, which is also a twist and turn.
This prince and princess naturally know that their goal has been achieved, and what happens in the future, if they can be tightened, it will naturally be better, if they are not strict, they may also cause harm to the East Palace, after all, this incident happened in the East Palace.
Therefore, the crown princess did not refuse Meng Sheng's words, went out for a while, and when she came back, she had already taken a silk ribbon in her hand and walked into the screen.
When the two of them came out again, the mark on the neck of the sixth princess had been covered.
The prince had already sent his chamberlain to pay attention to the movements of the saint, and during this period, the saint usually stayed in the imperial study.
Therefore, the prince and Meng Sheng, followed by the six princesses, went to the imperial study, and when they arrived at the door of the imperial study, the chamberlain guarding the door seemed to know that the three of them were coming, and invited them in without informing.
After they entered the imperial study, they understood why the chamberlain let them in directly.
It is because there is not only a saint in the imperial study, but also Xun Zhan standing next to him, you must know that when the Xun Zhan incident occurred, he was in the East Palace, that is, in addition to part of their plan, from the time Meng Sheng and the six princesses began to dry firewood, Xun Zhan was already there, and even the doctor who asked for it found out that there were medicinal ingredients in Meng Sheng's body were also invited by Xun Zhan.
And looking at this, the Holy One already knows.
Although the prince did a fairly solid job of asking himself about this matter, he was still a little apprehensive when he stood in front of the saint, but he was afraid that because of this incident, his status in the saint's heart would be affected.
"Son-in-law, see father."
And because of this incident, the sixth princess's face was not as frank as before, and in the end she just whispered, "Ah Li has seen my father." ”
The last was Meng Sheng, I saw him suddenly lift his placket, kneel on the ground with his legs, and his voice was deep, "Weichen sees Your Majesty and asks Your Majesty for his guilt." ”
When the three of them entered the door, the saint looked at them expressionlessly, until Meng Sheng opened his mouth and said that he wanted to ask for sin, then he said in a deep voice, "When I wanted to give you the sixth princess, you spoke earnestly and resisted the will, and now after you have no matchmaking with the sixth princess, you will come to ask for sin, Meng Qing, what do you take my words for?" ”
As soon as this sentence came out, the prince on the side for a while, really, Your Majesty knows, but you don't know, how much Your Majesty knows, therefore, the prince subconsciously glanced at Xun Zhan on the side.
And Xun Zhan stood straight, but his eyes were lowered. As if there was a farce in front of him, he turned a deaf ear.
Meng Sheng carried the anger of the saint, quieted down, and waited for the imperial study to be quiet for a while, and then said, "Back to Your Majesty, today the guilty minister was invited by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to enter the East Palace, His Royal Highness had something to do and walked away for a while, and the criminal minister suddenly became confused, and when he woke up again." It's all over. ”
This sentence. Instead, he pointed out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had done something.
The prince was already ready to be bitten by Meng Sheng, so when Meng Sheng finished speaking, he opened his mouth, "Meng Shilang hesitated in this life. I'm just away for a while. When I came back, I saw you sleeping with your sixth sister. I also want to ask Meng Shilang, what's going on! ”
After speaking, the prince looked at the saint again. Said sincerely, "The son doesn't know anything about this matter, please ask my father to find out." ”
The saint didn't ask the two of them again, but just looked at the sixth princess and said, "Ah Li, you tell the truth with your father, why did you appear in the East Palace?" ”
The sixth princess lowered her head, and when she heard the holy question, she quickly raised her head, her face suddenly changed unpredictably, and she didn't know where to start. ”
After she arrived at the political hall, she realized that this time it might be a situation, seeing that Meng Sheng's eyes became extremely hot and her cheeks were red because of the medicinal properties, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, so she naturally knew why, but when Meng Sheng saw her coming and hugged her, she pushed the boat down the river.
At that time, Meng Sheng had long lost his consciousness, how could he still know what he was doing?
When they finished their work, Meng Sheng fainted, she was going to leave, but she came back early, and listened to the corner for a long time, and warned her that this time she could marry into the Meng Mansion, so she left in a daze.
Then, Xun Zhan came over, she couldn't leave even if she wanted to, so she had to lie down and pretend to be unconscious, waiting for Meng Sheng to wake up.
The prince didn't realize that the sixth princess would say this, so he simply put the matter on the princess, and with the matter of the princess, the prince himself couldn't get rid of it.
Therefore, the prince said with a bit of yin and yang weirdness, "Sixth sister, I know that you have liked Meng Shilang for a long time, and I only hope to marry him, but if you put this matter on your sister-in-law, it will be in vain for your sister-in-law to treat you on weekdays." ”
But the prince didn't know what the sixth princess was thinking.
In the screen, Meng Sheng once asked her personally, asked her if she was willing to marry him, and asked her to face him together, and from then on, she would marry Meng Sheng.
The husband is the wife, and in the future, she will really be tied to Meng Sheng, to be exact, only Meng Sheng is good, she will be fine, if Meng Sheng falls behind in this matter, is punished by his father, and has since broken off his official career, it is not what she wants to see.
Therefore, at this time, the six princesses will completely stand on Meng Sheng's side.
Maybe the prince couldn't calculate that a person who could resist the decree for the sake of Luo's Rongwan was so easy to marry another woman, and directly made the sixth princess change camps.
knew that no one would choose the sixth princess, but because of this mistake, this position was completely changed.
The hall was silent, but only heard Meng Sheng speak again, "Please Your Majesty, although Wechen is guilty, but because he was framed, Wechen knows that he has damaged the reputation of the princess, and he is willing to marry only one princess in this life, please Your Majesty." ”
As soon as Meng Sheng said a word, the hall was completely silent, as if Meng Sheng's resistance was still yesterday, and today he made a vow to marry only the princess.
You must know how precious it is to be able to marry only one person in this place where men have three wives and four concubines.
And Xun Zhan, who was just lowering his eyebrows, raised his head at this time, and Danfeng's eyes habitually narrowed slightly, as if he could see through Meng Sheng's thoughts.
He opened his mouth at this time, "Your Majesty, Weichen once asked the imperial doctor to examine Meng Shilang's body, and the imperial doctor said that Meng Shilang was indeed given a strong medicine, which can make people lose their minds, and they are completely driven by desire. And this medicine is extremely hurtful, I am afraid that if you don't take care of it well in the future, you will fall into the root of the disease. ”
If he hadn't been framed, who would have given himself such a violent medicine?
After listening to Xun Zhan's words, the saint didn't believe it very much, but when he saw that the prince's face suddenly turned gray, and Meng Sheng's face was extremely pale, he believed it.
"Prince, what else do you have to say?"
The prince naturally knew that he couldn't admit it, so he could only delay it again and again, "Please let my father know, Erchen has never framed Meng Shilang, it must be that there is a cheap maid in the Erchen Palace who likes Meng Shilang, and wants to marry Meng Shilang, so he did this." ”
In fact, thinking about it carefully, the palace maid who can stay in the political hall of the East Palace must be stable and rigorous, and she will not make such a mistake, but since the prince has already said it, he has nine points of confidence to pull the palace maid out and talk back.
Moreover, His Majesty actually has selfish intentions, and he was worried about Meng Sheng's disobedience to the decree before, and at this time Meng Sheng made a mistake, which was exactly what he wanted, since he said that he married the sixth princess, he had already reached the ending that His Majesty originally hoped for.
Thinking about it, the saint said again, "Prince, this matter is in the East Palace, give you three days to find out this matter clearly, and besides, the princess is not properly disciplining her maid, and she can get lost with the princess, so she will be punished for closing the door in the East Palace for three months!" ”
His Majesty is biased towards the Prince's side this time.
When the prince heard this, he was naturally happy to respond, "Father Xie is clearly aware of it." ”
Then the saint looked at Xun Zhan and said, "Since Meng Qing and Ah Li have a head and tail, and I just said that I will only marry Ah Li in this life and this life, I will announce to the world and give Ah Li to you as a wife." ”
At this moment, Meng Sheng still had something to do, raised his hands above his head, and said deeply, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." ”
Sheng looked at the sixth princess, "Ah Li, you have been wronged today, but fortunately you like Meng Qing, this move is not a change, I promise you, I will let you marry beautifully." ”
The sixth princess thought that she would lose the face of the royal family and would be blamed by her father, but who knew that her father would say so gently that she would marry beautifully, and when she heard it, she couldn't help crying, "Ah Li thanked her father." ”
Xu had dealt with these things, and the saint was also tired, so he waved his hand and said, "You all go out!" ”
The three people below answered, and then exited the imperial study, but Xun Zhan didn't move, stood for a while and said, "Your Majesty believes what the prince said?" ”
The saint smiled helplessly, "I don't believe it." "But so what, the crown prince is his eldest son, and he will inherit his throne in the future, and he can't let the prince easily lose the hearts of the people.
But he should send someone to the prince for guidance, such a thing is full of loopholes, how can he rest assured that he will hand over his family and country to the prince in the future!
Xun Zhan didn't say anything more, the prince's words were not scrutinized at all, which palace maid dared to do anything in the political affairs hall?
The saint's sentence this time, in the final analysis, is still protecting the prince.
"Ah Zhan, do you think I'm not fair enough?" The saint suddenly said.
Xun Zhan paused and continued, "Your Majesty's beloved son is heartfelt, and it is understandable. ”
As the Son of Heaven, he should take into account the common people in the world, if he only cares about the small family and the big country, the world will perish.
But Xun Zhan has always said whatever he wants, and His Majesty has never said that he is not, and this time it is no different. (To be continued.) )
