Chapter 81: The Peak Turns Around
Cao Yanjing asked again: "If that's the case, then why didn't you say it when the palace and the emperor asked you?" "Besides, when this palace arrested you, it was three o'clock in the unitary hour, but just now this palace asked the people of Guan Ju Palace, saying that you came out of the door before five o'clock, how do you explain this? What's more, when you saw the palace and the emperor, you looked panicked, didn't you have a ghost in your heart, what was it? ”
"Back to my mother's words." Tingxue's eyes were full of tears, as if she had infinite grievances, and replied: "The slave didn't say it because the emperor was angry, no matter what the slave said, the emperor couldn't believe the slave and the maid." The slave and maid are not greedy for life and afraid of death, the slave and maid are only afraid of implicating Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
"Hmph, what a faithful slave to protect the Lord!" Cao Yanjing snorted coldly.
"That's enough, Jing'er, let this slave finish first!" The Emperor frowned in displeasure. Cao Yanjing had no choice but to hate.
Ting Xue continued: "Niangniang is right, the slave maid went out from the Guanju Palace at five o'clock, and the reason why she didn't return for a long time was because the outside of the Lingshuang Pavilion was heavily guarded. As for why the slave looked nervous when she saw the emperor and the mother, this, this, this matter was important, and the slave didn't dare to say it. After that, he glanced at Han Li helplessly, and when the emperor saw this, he suddenly became suspicious, and cast his searching eyes on Han Li.
Han Li's face suddenly turned embarrassed, and she was about to speak, when a cry interrupted her, and everyone followed the voice, only to see that it was a little maid named Rong'er in the Guan Ju Palace who was hiding her face and crying.
His eyebrows jumped suddenly, and Han Li faintly had a hint of foreboding.
"What's wrong with you?" Cao Yanjing put on a soft posture at this time, and asked Wen Yan.
"Slave, slave, slave." Before he could say anything, he began to cry again.
Han Li's face became more and more ugly, and when Fang Na Rong'er finished saying this, she secretly glanced at herself, and her eyes were full of shame.
"Don't worry, with the emperor and the palace here to make decisions for you, no one dares to do anything to you!" Cao Yanjing glanced at Han Li pointedly.
Rong'er nodded pitifully, wiped away her tears, and said to Ai Ai: "Slave, slave and maid just listened to the words of the emperor and the princess, and remembered the words I overheard a few days ago, I don't know, I don't know whether to tell the emperor." ”
"Tell me about it." The emperor was also a little curious, so he said.
Hearing this, Na Rong'er nodded meekly, and whispered with tears on her face: "Yesterday, Wan Jieyu Niangniang took His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince to visit, and the princess sent everyone back for some reason, and had a secret conversation with Jieyu Niangniang in the Shuangfeng Pavilion. The slave happened to be on duty that day, and accidentally dropped the bracelet at the door of the Shuangfeng Pavilion, so she came back to look for it. ”
At this point, she glanced at Han Li timidly, hesitated for a while, and finally continued: "The slave heard a sound from inside at the door, and she was curious for a moment, so she boldly listened to a few words. The slave heard it, and heard Jieyu Niangniang crying to Her Royal Highness the princess and saying who she wanted to see, and then the princess was very angry, and after a while, she vaguely heard the princess say something she had her own plans, and she would give an explanation. Then Jieyu Niangniang left happily. The slave didn't understand what the masters meant, but, thinking about today's events, the slave and maid felt that it seemed to ...... It seems that ...... "chattered, and couldn't go on."
However, Rao is like this, and it is enough to push Han Li to the land of no return!
"You talk nonsense!!" Tingyu, who had been kneeling on the ground, saw that she had framed the princess like this, and couldn't help but defend it: "When the princess talks secretly, how can a lowly slave like you be approached!" How can it be so light for you to hear! ”
Listening to the rain to protect the lord wholeheartedly, as everyone knows, her words are equivalent to indirectly admitting that what Rong'er said is true, but it hurts Hanli.
The emperor also sank his face at this moment and asked, "Li'er, how are you going to explain to me now, that archery competition was also you asked Yu Ling to come forward, just to give that slut a chance, right?" I ask you again, where did you go this night!? Was it in that slut's palace at the time!? ”
Han Li just wanted to speak, but Zuo Yan suddenly came in and knelt down to the emperor, and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Second Prince and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince ask to see him." ”
The emperor frowned slightly, expecting that the fifth son would come, but he didn't expect the second son to come back, the child has a quiet temperament, and he has never liked to go out and doesn't care about foreign affairs. After a little hesitation, he said, "Let them in." ”
Soon, the Second Emperor Palace Jue Qing and the Fifth Emperor Palace Yu Ling came in together, knelt down and stood up.
"What are you doing here?" The emperor asked lightly.
Hearing this, the two of them looked up at the emperor in unison, and their white little face was full of worry, looking at Han Li, looking at the emperor, they didn't dare to speak lightly for a while.
It was Gong Jueqing, who opened his mouth first: "Father, Erchen flipped through the ancient books and found the long-lost spice that Father mentioned last time, and Erchen has successfully refined it himself, and he wanted to dedicate it to his father, Xiao Runzi in the imperial study said that you are here, and the fragrance of the spice was the most fragrant when it was just made, so he hurried to come." With that, he took out a water-blue tempting porcelain bottle from his cloud sleeve and asked the eunuch on the side to present it to the emperor.
The emperor took the spices, opened the bottle and sniffed it, and praised: "It is really fragrant, and it is extremely fresh!" After that, I watched it carefully.
Gong Jueqing took advantage of this and said again: "Father, the son of the emperor just accidentally heard you ask the fourth emperor sister outside the palace, and the son can answer." ”
