Chapter 478: The Man in the Painting

This time, I didn't stop between Wei Jiao and the woman, because the tone of their words had already deviated, and once the rift was formed, I didn't need to block it, and it was extremely difficult for them to restore the original question and explain it clearly.

"Ji Dan wasn't when she was young..."

Wei Fake was eager to "remind" the woman of something, but Ying Zheng didn't want to listen to it, so he opened his mouth to stop Wei Fake, who didn't listen to his advice and repeatedly interrupted my conversation with the woman, and his tone was quite displeased.

"Enough!" Suppressing the scene, Ying Zhengying stared at Wei Fake, and bluntly said that he needed the truth: "Duke Wei, if you have anything to say, you can say it yourself." ”

This lie has come to this point, but it is not easy to come true, because there is no time to go back to collude with the people of Wei and make good words, so Wei can only truthfully admit his lie if he wants to explain that only he "knows" about Ji Dan's smallpox.

"Your Majesty often heard people talk about the grievances of the imprisoned ladies outside the palace, so now when they hear the emperor's inquiry, they are confused for a while, thinking about helping the ladies out of prison as soon as possible, but they have never thought of being kindly frustrated, but it is useless. Please ask the emperor to forgive his subordinates for their stupidity for the sake of his subordinates' good intentions. ”

Although Wei Fake has become a slave of the country, he has been the king for a long time, and he still brings the habit of solving the problem by saying casually when there is trouble to the status of the slave here, and in his thoughts, this inexplicable dilemma can be solved as long as he simply says it.

I thought about the trouble he didn't think of in advance, because if it was so simple that he could settle it, wouldn't the situation I had worked so hard to manage be in vain.

"If you do things with good intentions, it is naturally forgiving, but if you deliberately conceal something, it is not a proper thing."

I transitioned Wei Fake's words, then looked at Luo Cong, motioned for her to present the prepared portrait of Mengtan to the woman, and said as she opened it: "When I was in Zibo, I was taught to know the deeds of the brilliant princesses of various countries. The person on this picture scroll is handsome and has a prominent mind, so the main palace has kept this picture scroll.

Look at it, you have the most say in the doubts of this palace, this is the princess Ji Dan that they said to this palace? ”

The new question is aimed at the woman, in order to shorten the time to expose the problem, otherwise, things may take a turn for the better, and Ying Zheng is afraid that he will not have the patience to listen to all the truth.

The woman was restless by Wei Jiao's reprimand, and she didn't dare to speak lightly, so she frowned and looked at Mengtan's portrait, and her lips moved without a sound.

She doesn't say. I had no choice but to speak.

"Isn't it?" I deliberately wondered: "Isn't the picture scroll of this palace fake?" Duke Wei, when Wei Qi intersected, this is how you treated the state affairs of the two countries?

Well, that's all in the past, and no one can say anything about what you're doing. Your Majesty, there should be portraits of beauties from all over the world in the Qin Treasury, maybe bring Princess Ji Dan's for them to confirm? ”

Although the Six Kingdoms are all gone, the people of the Six Nations are still there, and many of the noble children in the Six Nations are thinking about how to prepare for war and start anew. With Yingzheng's current power and courage, if they want to fight alone, they can only be said to be wishful thinking, so joining forces to form an alliance is the king's way, but Wei is not good if he is character and attitude towards the world. So who wants to have a deep friendship with him?

And I watched Wei pretend to say that when he wanted to interject something to explain to my words, he directly said that it was "a matter of the past" and prevaricated his intentions, which at least showed that I was unwilling to talk to him about any more topics in depth, and my attitude, in the eyes of outsiders, part of the ingredients represented the attitude of Qi Di.

"It doesn't have to be that much trouble. One picture scroll is enough. "Wei Jiao is not good at insisting on instilling any thoughts in me, he just briefly dealt with the problem of the picture scroll for the time being.

Wei said so. The woman understood what he meant by asking her to answer my question, but she didn't get a clear message on how to answer it.

"Slightly, like." The woman is embarrassed.

She was afraid, but the more she was afraid, the more contradictions she left for people to reverie.

"Sort of? A mother who does not even allow others to mistakenly say that her daughter is seriously ill, will you remember the appearance of your own daughter? Is it that you really don't remember, or is someone not letting you remember? I asked her with a stinging eye.

Such a provocative tone provoked Wei Jiao to sit still, and he glared at me angrily, moving his face at my question.

"What is the intention of Mrs. Creek to ask like this?"

In the face of the ruthless Wei Fake, perhaps because of Ying Zheng's presence, I didn't have a sense of fear.

"Otherwise, Duke Wei, you will answer." I cleared my voice.

Luo Liang listened to my words, and moved the front display of the scroll from the woman to Wei Jiao's seat.

"Hmph, the person on this picture scroll is indeed very similar to His Majesty's Ji Dan from a certain aspect, but she is not His Majesty's Ji Dan, her aura is different, and her temperament is even more different." He said it in a categorical way.

Qiyu, temperament, can see the difference from these factors in the picture scroll, Wei Jiao is the first person, right?

In the face of Wei Fake's repeated out-of-control interjections and our lengthy confrontation, Yingzheng began to get dry.

"Okay, don't argue, what can be seen in a painting." He understood the mainstream direction of the tug-of-war between me and Wei Fake, and directly gave orders to cut into the topic: "Zhao Gao, Mrs. Xuantan entered the palace to meet you." ”

Ying Zheng's intervention once again plunged the hall into a tense and silent state.

In this game, as soon as Mrs. Tan appears, it will undoubtedly come to the end of your life and death.

Mrs. Zhao didn't understand much about what we were talking about, and at this moment she watched the hall quiet down, and opened her mouth to ask Ying Zheng something, but when she touched Ying Zheng's dark gaze, she retreated in frustration.

Luo Cong walked out lightly, returned to my side silently, and whispered to me: "Zhao Changshi's arrangement for the slave maid to go to Mrs. Li to negotiate has come to an end, and Mrs. Li replied that she agrees with Mrs. Li's proposal." ”

I nodded, grateful for Lin Jixiang's behavior, and at the same time felt oppressed, but I didn't look up at him, because I knew that if Mengtan came to the main hall and said something out of my control, Lin Jixiang and I would be finished.

Mengtan's arrival has two results: one is that she lives and dies; The second is that she died and I died, and Lin Jixiang also died together.

I lowered my head and drank water to calm my mind, but this calming action attracted the double attention of Ying Zheng and Lin Jixiang, worried that Ying Zheng noticed Lin Ji's special concern for me and his many eyes, I hurriedly put down the teacup, and suffered the arrival of Mengtan in a dry and nervous state.

Mengtan had lost a lot of weight, and her beautiful face that had just been groomed was covered with haggard marks, but she was in good spirits, and the high-spirited gaze of a pair of beautiful eyes locked on Yingzheng when she stepped into the hall, and she didn't even pay attention to the woman who saw her staring wide-eyed and tears in her eyes.

"Slave concubines bow to the emperor!" She knelt down and bowed steadily.

Only to Ying Zheng ceremony, but not to Ying Zheng next to me in the seat, it can be seen that Meng Tan is deliberate, Ying Zheng looked at me, and when I looked back at him, he agreed to dispense with the etiquette omitted by Meng Tan, and even if he was not pursued.

"Get up." Ying Zheng said with a gloomy face: "I summoned you today, because Mrs. Xi wants you to help her confirm something, and you cooperate with her." ”

didn't pay attention to me, but was pointed out by Yingzheng to cooperate with me, Mengtan was very disliked, but she didn't have a good seizure, so she could only get up and respond.

"Whoa!"

It doesn't matter if you don't take me in your eyes, but if you don't take your own mother in your eyes, it's a big unfilial act.

"Mrs. Tan, look at the back, that noble woman, do you know?" I asked her bluntly.

Because Yingzheng had something to say first, Mengtan could only look at the woman after following my instructions, this look, I couldn't see Mengtan's face clearly, but I clearly saw the excited look of the woman who was almost trembling after looking at Mengtan.

Squinting at Wei Jiao, I saw that he was also trembling slightly, but I think the difference between him and the woman was that the woman was surprised and excited, and he was afraid.

Everyone was watching this scene, and Mengtan's head turned back faster than I expected, and her answer was exactly what I expected.

"I don't know." She answered me coldly.

At this moment, I saw the woman's tears pouring down like rain.

Mother's tears are touching and heartbreaking, if I can, I am willing to let go of Mengtan and let her return to her mother peacefully as Ji Dan, but I know that if I let her go, she will not let me go.

Because at this time, after her brief downward gaze, her gaze became more and more hateful when she looked at me.

Wei faked the denial, Mengtan denied, only the woman was still sobbing bitterly, but she wouldn't say that Mengtan was Ji Dan, which made me quite depressed after winning emotional recognition but unable to produce rational evidence.

"I've heard that you or Princess Ji Dan of Wei Di were infected with smallpox when they were young, and just now this palace asked Wei Gong and them for verification, and the final answer they gave was that their Ji Dan had never been dyed, so you, but it happened that you hadn't been dyed?"

I deliberately tried to induce Mengtan to think too much and speak awkwardly, but Mengtan was obviously much more sophisticated and capable than I thought, and she heard my question and answered without thinking.

"There are many sisters in this palace who have not been infected with smallpox, smallpox is very poisonous, and once it is dyed, it is nine deaths, and neither of them has been infected, so it can't be a coincidence, right?"

This reminds me that my words are too redundant.

It seems that Mengtan came prepared this time, so in her calm appearance, but there is an element of her holding my handle? I can't give her the opportunity and time to do it.

Ruthless moves, whether it is out of Yingzheng's patience or Mengtan's counterattack, I have to hurry up. (To be continued......)
