Chapter 174: Playfulness
"Queen, why are you doing this?"
Emperor Zhaoyang looked at her.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the concubines insist on doing this, it's just that people's words are terrifying, and the emperor doesn't want the concubines to live in everyone's gossip for the rest of their lives......"
Empress Yang's face was full of sorrow and pity.
The Emperor's gaze moved from her pale face to her neck, where there were still black insect bites, and there were abrasions around her, and blood stains were faintly visible on it. I couldn't help but feel pity in my heart.
Retracted his gaze, looked at Yang Shangshu, who was kneeling on the ground with blood on his face, and said coldly, "What else do you have to say?" ”
Yang Yilang raised his head, as if he saw the last trace of vitality, only to see him say loudly, "Your Majesty, the minister made a big mistake, His Majesty wants to condemn the crime, the minister has no complaints, but the minister only has one word, the Marquis of Wuling colluded with the Rakshasa Kingdom back then, and the intention of rebellion is obvious, the minister made a big mistake, but the minister did not misjudge, and I hope Your Majesty will know!" ——”
Since it was the emperor who issued the edict back then, until now, only by tightly tying Emperor Zhaoyang with himself can this life be saved.
"That's it!" , Emperor Zhaoyang was a little impatient, "Yang Yilang's death crime can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, from now on, Yang Yilang's position as the secretary of the criminal department will be removed, and he will be reduced to a commoner, and he will never be used!" …… As for the queen......"
Speaking of this, Emperor Zhaoyang paused.
Everyone's hearts were instantly lifted.
Especially King Qin, although he and Empress Yang are grasshoppers tied to the same rope, if Empress Yang is condemned, his heart is actually happy. A dignified prince. And who wants to be crushed on the head by a woman for a long time?
It's a pity that Emperor Zhaoyang's next words disappointed him.
"The queen is virtuous and virtuous. With both talent and affection, why not? Why don't you hurry up and help the queen to the inner room to rest? ”
Seeing this, Lin Jue couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she didn't know how Concubine Yin would react after hearing today's results, the lives of the Marquis of Wuling, in exchange. It's just a painless dismissal, she guesses she's going crazy with anger, right?
In fact, the life of the Marquis of Wuling. In Emperor Zhaoyang's place, it is not too important, the reason why he is angry is because someone brought Gu worms into the palace. His life is at stake! And Yang Yilang. It's this scapegoat.
However, it seems that there is still something to play in this matter.
The case of Marquis Wuling is barely over, but what about Gu worms? Hasn't it been clarified who brought the Gu worm into the temple yet?
Just thinking about it, I heard Nangong Yi over there say lightly, "Your Majesty, the case of Marquis Wuling has been a long time ago, and it has been a foregone conclusion. Wechen thought. For the safety of all of you here, thoroughly investigate the source of today's Gu worms. It seems to be more important. ”
Empress Yang just breathed a sigh of relief, and when she heard this, her heart instantly pinched again. She glanced at Nangong Yi, and the good-looking Danfeng's eyes were almost bursting with fire.
In a word, it instantly reminded Emperor Zhaoyang.
He had forgotten such a crucial matter!
The palace was heavily guarded, and there was a strict physical examination when entering and leaving, and if he remembered correctly, those black worms first came out of the Lingyang guqin.
And that Lingyang guqin was dedicated to him by the six princes!
So his face was gloomy again in an instant.
"Queen, where did the sixth guqin come from?"
These words were all light, and he originally wanted to say something heavier, but thinking that the sixth prince was still unconscious in order to save him, he eased his tone slightly.
"Back to Your Majesty, according to Mo'er, this guqin was obtained by him by accident, and the concubine thought, if it is really different from the guqin, there must be someone with a heart who took advantage of Mo'er's filial piety to harm our royal ......"
"Really?"
Emperor Zhaoyang said lightly, but there were no next words, and from the surface, it seemed that he did not intend to pursue it further.
It's just that after that, he casually issued a few more holy decrees, which made people thoroughly investigate the source of the guqin.
"Until this matter is clarified, no one is allowed to leave this palace gate for half a step! As for food, don't worry, I'll have it delivered to the Imperial Dining Room. ”
After speaking, Emperor Zhaoyang took the queen and left.
Everyone wanted to cry in an instant, but there were no tears.
I just experienced a fierce battle of life and death, and the clothes on my body have become dirty and messy, even if they are not torn, they are all bloodstained, and I can't leave here or change them in such a body, so do I want people to have a way to live?
The most important thing at this time is not to let them take a shower and change their clothes? What does it mean to eat? Who is in the mood to eat......
In the inner room, Concubine Yin's face on the bed became more and more pale.
The Gu worm was designed by her, so naturally she would not let her own life be threatened. But in order to act realistically, she only took a small amount of antidote in advance, and after the black insect bite, she still had symptoms, but compared to those who fell into a coma or even died immediately, after she was attacked, although the whole person was extremely weak, she could still stay awake.
It's enough to be able to stay awake.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that the lives of hundreds of people in the Wuling clan were nothing in the eyes of these people? Just pull out a scapegoat? And the real masterminds behind the scenes, King Qin and Queen Yang are still at large, living a life of fine clothes and fine food? !
The so-called Ming Jun is just a mediocre villain who doesn't dare to admit his mistakes and listens to the words of traitors!
No matter how big the complaints in everyone's hearts are, the emperor has already spoken, and everyone can only bear it. When the imperial dining room sent fragrant food, everyone really felt hungry, and they couldn't take care of much, so they sat back in their original guest seats and began to eat.
Since it is an established fact that you can't leave, let's fill your stomach first!
Because she had eaten too much at the banquet just now, Lin Jue didn't have any appetite now, but what she said just now made her completely see the power of Empress Yang's "skill", and just a few words directly changed Emperor Zhaoyang's original thoughts. If she hadn't come out in time, how could Yang Yilang have escaped so easily, not to mention the whole family, at least his life would not have been saved.
She thought of Lin Qionglai again.
If Empress Yang really disagrees, what should he and the Ninth Princess do?
Especially now that he's fallen from his horse. Is it possible to become semi-crippled in the future?
Mei is planning to let him give up, but Lin Qiong, can he really let go?
"I really can't think of it. Sister Yun Shu actually knows how to crack the Gu worm......"
The words fell, and the lord of Qingyun County appeared in front of Lin Jue with a smile.
Because of King Qin, her clothes were not soiled in the Gu worm chaos just now. The whole person still looks very beautiful, but at first glance, it has a bit of Situ Yan's exquisiteness.
Lin Jue smiled, looked at her and said, "The county lord has won the award." I'm just reading two more books on weekdays. ”
As soon as these words came out, Lord Qingyun's face was a little ugly, isn't this a disguised way to say that she is short-sighted?
"When did Sister Yunshu become so studious?"
The county lord of Qingyun bit hard. This face, no matter what, can't be lost.
"It's not easy to learn, it's just some inconsequential idle books."
"Really?" Lord Qingyun's eyes suddenly became meaningful, "Like we know." Of course, I understand that my sister has read what the book says. only then does he know the cracking technique of Gu worms, but if there are people who don't understand, maybe they will mistakenly think that my sister is the mastermind behind the scenes? ”
Miss Boudoir, she actually knows the cracking technique of Gu worms, this sounds not only weird, but also creepy, although the lord of Qingyun County is still arrogant on his face, but he is a little scared in his heart. The other party is a person who can use Gu, if he poisons her. I don't know how she ended up dying.
"Thank you Lord for the reminder. But those who are clear are self-purifying, and I am not afraid of these. There's just one thing, I'd like to talk to the county lord......"
"Oh? My sister has something to say to me? ”
Lord Qingyun flashed with bright big eyes and looked innocent.
Such a picture, in the eyes of others, thought that the relationship between the two was very good, and they were chatting next to each other intimately.
"My third brother, Lin Qiong, must be a stranger to the county lord, right?"
Lin Jue smiled and observed the change in the expression on the other party's face as he spoke.
When he saw that Lord Qingyun's eyes lagged slightly, he continued, "He had an accident a few days ago and fell off his horse. ”
"Master Lin fell from his horse?!"
As if hearing the bad news, Lord Qingyun froze in place, looking incredulous.
The appearance she played made Lin Jue feel inexplicably funny. But she wasn't going to break it.
"Talking about this matter with the county lord today is not to sympathize with ......", speaking of this, Lin Jue straightened up, approached slightly, and then leaned close to her ear, and said softly with a smile, "Some things, since they have been done, they have to take responsibility." ”
The county lord of Qingyun's face turned pale, her eyes widened, this matter was done extremely secretively, how did Lin Er know? Moreover, she did so many things, half of it was for revenge, and the other half was to provoke the relationship between the second room of the Lin family and the big house, making the already terrible relationship worse, Lin Qiong fell off the horse, and the old lady must have pushed the miss on Lin Er's head in grief, the Lin family should be infighting, why did Lin Er turn the spearhead in such a quick time?
"What are you talking about, so happy?"
In the blink of an eye, the King of Gaoyang County walked in front of him. At this moment, like all noble sons, he behaved politely and politely, looking at the two people who were talking, showing just the right smile.
"Second brother, you came just in time, Sister Yun Shu actually knows how to crack the Gu poison, she said that she saw it from a book, but she didn't say the specific title, does the second brother know what the book is?"
Lord Qingyun flashed his big eyes, and his face was innocent.
"Oh?" After hearing this, King Gaoyang showed a strange look in his eyes, looked at Lin Jue and smiled, "There are such rare books, okay?" In this comparison, I am only shallow in learning and less knowledgeable. ”
You just know?!
Lin Jue replied silently in his heart.
But he smiled quietly, "It's just a miscellaneous book from my father, and the county king hasn't read it, so it's normal." ”
"I didn't expect that Lord Yunshu was so studious, it's really amazing......"
Ling Nan also smiled, in Kyoto, who doesn't know that the second lady of the Lin family has no talent and no virtue? Now that you have been canonized as a county lord, have you started to study seriously? Again, just put on a show and avoid making bigger jokes. (To be continued.) )
