Chapter XXVI: Frame-up
Li Quanzhong waited outside the palace for the emperor's summons, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Zhuyu, the palace maid beside the queen, rushing over. This pearl has always been known for its calmness, but now it is so frizzy.
Zhuyu stood still, twisting her handkerchief and sweating: "Father-in-law Lao went in to pass the news, the queen wanted to invite the emperor to go to Fengluan Palace."
Li Quanzhong frowned, there must be something big about her acting so impatiently: "What's wrong with the queen mother?"
"Chu Guiren designed to frame Concubine Lin with the technique of disgust and victory, and framed Chen Meiren, the queen wants to ask the emperor to come to trial."
Chu Guiren? Li Quanzhong's brows jumped. Isn't it the Chu Xuan Chu nobleman who has been the most favored recently? This is no small matter.
Li Quanzhong nodded in response, turned around and walked quickly into the Changxin Palace. Gu Jun was reading the folds, and his face was not very good. I just rewarded Chu Xuan with some things, what's wrong? I didn't loot the people's fat and ointment, nor did I waste money and money, but I still used the things in my private warehouse. How dare you say that I am extravagant?
Li Quanzhong bowed down and cautiously reported: "Your Majesty, the queen is invited."
Gu Jun put down the wolf in his hand and looked up at Li Quanzhong. This queen is now more and more unstable, and she is not doing things as well as before. Gu Jun said calmly: "What's wrong?"
Li Quanzhong's eyelids jumped: "Back to the emperor, according to the pearl jade of Fengyi Palace, it is said that the Chu nobles used the technique of disgust to frame Concubine Lin and frame Chen Meiren."
"Huh?"
Li Quanzhong hung his head and didn't dare to look at his face.
Li Quanzhong only heard a sentence from beside him: "Prepare for it."
"The emperor has arrivedβ"
The concubines got up to say goodbye, and Gu Jun walked into the hall steadily: "Get up."
Chu Xuan looked at the arrival of Gu Jun in front of him, but he felt inexplicably very relieved, and he was not as angry and flustered as when he heard the queen's words.
I only heard it, and the queen repeated it again: "Chu Xuan, are you guilty?"
Chu Xuan replied unhurriedly and firmly: "The concubine doesn't know that she is guilty."
No matter how much the queen thinks she is a dead duck, she directly handed over the evidence to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is the material for the witch doll used in the art of disgust from Yihuaxuan."
Gu Jun flipped through this thing back and forth: "That's it?"
When the queen heard this, she immediately felt that today's battle would be extremely difficult.
Sun Ruyun took advantage of this moment to slowly walk out and said, "Concubine...... The concubine has something to say. β
Chu Xuan turned his head to look, and his gaze became colder and colder. Well, she said that this was someone who made up the matter to hurt her. Sun Ruyun seemed to see her gaze shrunk, and suddenly burst into tears, and knelt down: "Even if you ...... Even if the nobles of Chu torture the concubine to death, the concubine has to say it! β
The queen reassured her: "It's okay, just say it!" Hongu wants to see who can torture you. β
"The concubine didn't get along with Chu Guiren very happily before entering the palace, so she made it difficult for the concubine since she was favored. The concubine and the concubine saw Yufu, the personal maid beside Chu Guiren, sneakily entering Yihuaxuan in her arms as if she had something in her arms, and the concubine wondered why she didn't listen. As a result, on the second day, the concubine and concubine saw Yufu and the maid in the Mingguang Palace whispering, as if they had stuffed a bag of something for her. After that, there was a rumor of the art of disgust. β
The queen's brows were relieved a little when she heard this, and then she raised her voice and shouted: "Chu Xuan! You can hear me! Don't confess your sins! β
Gu Jun looked at Chu Xuan with a frown, what kind of person Chu Xuan was, he wouldn't know after getting along for so long. It's not about herself, this is her code of conduct. Maybe she will teach and discipline others, but it will also be done openly, because she doesn't bother to frame others at all, or because she is lazy, she is too lazy to frame others. Maybe it's because he knows people and faces, but at least what he sees Chu Xuan is like this
Chu Xuan raised her eyebrows and looked at Sun Ruyun, chuckled twice and picked up the conversation: "Since you know that you don't get along with me well, maybe you will discredit me." If you say anything, I don't need anything, I just need your mouth, and I can be convicted by this empty talk alone. β
Sun Ruyun looked at Chu Xuan's appearance, and immediately felt a little empty in her heart. After that, he reluctantly made up his mind: "The concubine has witnesses."
As soon as the words fell, a palace maid lowered her head and walked out slowly.
Chu Xuan stared at her figure for a long time before recognizing: "Kexin?"
She said where the witness came from, it turned out to be a thing that was eaten inside and out. It's a shame that she never treated her badly, it's really blind.
Ke Xin paused obviously when she heard Chu Xuan calling her footsteps, but she still slowly raised her head: "Slave maid, slave maid is the palace maid in Yihua Xuan." The slave maid once saw and saw Sister Yufu tinkering with something in the house, but as soon as the slave maid came in, she hid her things and hurried to drive the slave and maid away. β
Sun Ruyun struck while the iron was hot: "Chen Meiren of the court also wrote down her want to speak on a piece of paper and found someone to hand it to the concubine, and the concubine didn't know who sent it at the time, and asked the emperor to take a look."
Li Quanzhong took the rice paper handed by Sun Ruyun and respectfully presented it to the emperor. Those slightly crooked words can still be seen clearly: the concubine also asked the emperor for forgiveness, and she was afraid that she would not be able to testify in person if she had tarnished her holy face. With a book and a piece of paper, it is clear that the concubine and the Chu nobles were originally like sisters, but unexpectedly, after she entered the palace, she drove the concubine out of Yihuaxuan regardless of the feelings of her sisters, which is obvious to everyone. Who would have thought that the Chu nobles would be planted on the concubine, and the concubine also asked the emperor to investigate.
Chu Xuan looked at Gu Jun reading the rice paper, presumably all of them were unfavorable to her.
When the queen saw Gu Jun finish reading the rice paper, she said coldly: "Chu Xuan, don't you still admit your guilt!"
Chu Xuan sneered and opened his mouth to refute. Concubine Yi suddenly interrupted Chu Xuan's words: "Sister Chu, this concubine didn't expect you to be such a person. It's really a waste of Chen Meiren's sisterly love for you. β
Concubine Yi seemed to have directly convicted Chu Xuan, as if she had done it.
"Yi Gui Concubine, what kind of person is a concubine, the concubine knows in her heart, as for the sisterhood of Lao Shizi? If you don't know the details, why speculate? The emperor and the queen have not convicted the concubine, what do you mean by this? β
Hearing this, Concubine Yi felt that her face was a little unbearable, and a little noble man dared to talk to her like this: "Heh, so far, the evidence is in front of you, who else can you be!"
Gu Jun, who hadn't spoken for a long time, shouted: "Enough."
Gu Jun threw the rice paper on the table and said with a calm face: "This Chen's preface and afterword don't match, he slandered the queen before, and now he may still slander the nobles of Chu." Can the words of such a person be trusted? β
The queen was shocked when she heard this, she forgot about this stubble, if it wasn't for Chen Jinjin slandering herself, she would not have had to divide the palace power.
Concubine Yi was also a little flustered: "But the emperor, this evidence is conclusive......"
Gu Jun's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he interrupted her: "Where is the evidence conclusive?" A talented person with a light screen, a maidservant girl and something I don't know where it came from? β
When Chu Xuan heard this, his heart calmed down. Anyway, Gu Jun believes in himself, doesn't he?
Gu Jun stood up violently: "Since the queen can't find out this matter clearly, I will hand it over to Concubine He to investigate, and I must find out."
The queen was stunned in her seat, and said, "That Chu nobleman ......"
Gu Jun looked at Chu Xuan steadily, and pondered for a while: "Let's stop first, and wait for Concubine He to find out."
Chu Xuan didn't have any protests about the grounding, anyway, it was a hot summer, and she didn't want to go out.
With that, Gu Jun raised his feet and left.
As for Chu Xuan, he slowly returned to Mingguang Palace. And Yufu and Yurong, who stayed in Yihuaxuan, were in a hurry, at that time, Zhucui only allowed Chu Xuan to go alone, and she stopped her when she wanted to go, but there was no way, who made her master the queen.
As soon as they saw Chu Xuan, they hurriedly ran over and asked anxiously, "Master, how is it?"
Chu Xuan looked extremely relaxed: "What's going on, what can it be?" It's not a big deal, you don't have to worry, it's just that you're grounded. β
Yu Rong exclaimed when she heard this: "Grounded!? What the hell is going on? β
Chu Xuan turned over to comfort her: "Your master is grounded and not entered the court, what are you doing so shocked."
Yufu hurriedly cut off her words: "Bah, what is entering the court." If it's so unlucky, don't say it. β
"Uh-huh, yes, got it. Can I enter the temple? It's so hot outside. β
After Chu Xuan finished speaking, Yufu and Yurong realized that now they were still standing outside the hall, how could a person like Chu Xuan who was afraid of heat endure it, and hurriedly hugged Chu Xuan into the hall.
Waiting for Chu Xuan to sip tea and talk about what happened in the Fengyi Palace. Yu Rong was furious: "It's a shame that the master is so good to her on weekdays, but she is still a wolf-hearted guy!"
Chu Xuan said casually: "The wolf's heart and dog lungs are the wolf's heart and dog lungs, it's better to see it early than later." Isn't your master yet convicted? β
Yufu's eyes were red: "It's all slaves and maids who are not good, and they hurt the master."
"How can I blame you for this? How can they blame you for all their nonsense. It's not to force the crime on you, that is to force it on Yurong. Chu Xuan replied.
Yufu pondered for a while: "Otherwise...... Otherwise, the slave and the maid will confess their sins. said that it was all done by slaves and maids, and it was not the master's business. β
Chu Xuan's face pulled down when he heard this, and his tone became rare and serious: "Are you stupid?" I usually see you so smart, but I didn't expect to be so stupid. Who is your master? It's me, do you think if you confess your sins, they will feel that I didn't do it? Don't make senseless sacrifices, you know? β
Yu Rong also followed suit: "That's it, aren't you causing trouble for your master?"
Yufu listened to their persuasion before she stopped thinking and said sullenly, "Okay."
Chu Xuan stood up and stretched: "Come on, you guys are so idle, why don't you go and add more ice cubes, I think it's a little hot." I'll go to sleep first, and don't call me if there's anything going on. β
With that, Chu Xuan yawned and threw himself on the bed.
