Chapter Twenty-Four: I Don't Kill the Middlemen
"No wonder you have to write a letter to find someone to frame Yun Yuexi, if it wasn't for this king who happened to meet her yesterday, I'm afraid that it will be Yun Yuexi who can't argue with her today!" Ouyang Haoxuan followed up and said again, paused slightly, and suddenly became bored in his heart, how could he forget the marriage contract?
The onlookers suddenly all looked at Yun Manrou, because of Ouyang Haoxuan's words, everyone believed that the handwriting on that piece of paper was naturally Yun Manrou's, because King Xuan's ability was known to everyone in the world.
If you want to say when King Xuan came to prominence in the capital, it was naturally the winter of three years ago.
That time, when the barbarians paid tribute, they deliberately made things difficult, saying that they had inadvertently obtained one hundred and eight pairs of calligraphy and paintings from the late calligraphy master Ling Zhenzi, but only one of the one hundred and eight pairs was genuine, and the rest were all made by imitation, but only three days were given.
Ling Zhenzi's calligraphy and painting are rare, and the emperor was sad for three days before Ouyang Haoxuan appeared, bluntly saying that he could recognize the real handiwork, in fact, before this, the emperor almost forgot that he had such a son, and he was shocked when he saw it.
Ouyang Haoxuan waved his sword in front of the civil and military officials and destroyed one hundred and seven pairs of calligraphy and paintings, but he only crossed the last one, and after dozens of calligraphy masters firmly, that calligraphy and painting was the real work of Ling Zhenzi.
The barbarian envoy thought that Ouyang Haoxuan was really guilty of destroying those calligraphy and paintings that were enough to mess with the truth, but Ouyang Haoxuan laughed arrogantly and said: "Destroying these things is as simple as destroying a small barbarian country in my dynasty, this prince will tell you today, my dynasty is full of talents, how can it be a place like you to covet and provoke?" ”
Later, the people learned that the barbarian envoy had already known that the last one was genuine, but it was impossible to identify one hundred and eight paintings within three days, after all, that pair of calligraphy and paintings had to be appraised by dozens of famous calligraphers for nearly seven hours, so this move was just a deliberate difficulty.
The barbarian envoy left in a gloomy manner, and the emperor was overjoyed, and asked Ouyang Haoxuan how he knew that it was a genuine handiwork, and Ouyang Haoxuan said indifferently: "It doesn't matter which one of his works is genuine, destroy all and only one remains, that one will naturally be just a genuine handiwork." ”
When the emperor heard this, not only did he not get angry, but laughed loudly, and his love for Ouyang Haoxuan was so loud that he once surpassed the prince, and the people of the capital only later learned that King Xuan had inadvertently seen the true works of Ling Zhenzi once, and he naturally recognized that it was true at a glance, and destroying those fake ones was just to deter barbarians.
Not long after, Ouyang Haoxuan was named King Xuan, because he was ranked seventh, and he was also honored as the seventh prince, becoming the fifth prince among the nine princes.
Then he led his troops to gallop across the territory, and drove the provocative barbarians back for seven hundred miles, and finally re-signed the tributary covenant, so that all the surrounding small countries were divided and defended themselves, and there was no more war after that.
Yun Manrou naturally knew this, so when the eyes of those people were all on her, her face became more and more pale, she only knew that if she didn't have a reasonable explanation this time, she was afraid that her reputation that she had carefully maintained for so many years would be flawed!
"Big brother, I think there must be something strange about this matter, Rou'er is not that kind of person!" Of course, Princess Youran saw Yun Manrou's aggrieved appearance and didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly said: "That girl turned her back on her master before, I think she must have done it!" ”
Yun Manrou naturally didn't have time to care about why Ouyang Youyou was so resentful of a girl who betrayed her master, so she just lowered her head and sobbed: "Youran, you are still willing to believe Rou'er, how can Rou'er repay ......?"
"Don't be afraid, with the eldest brother here, no one can bully you!" Ouyang Youyou hurriedly hugged Yun Manrou, patted her back gently, and comforted her in a low voice: "That handwriting may also be imitated!" ”
Yun Yuexi saw Yun Yi's gloomy face, and sneered in her heart, Yun Manrou, can you collapse in the anthill for a thousand miles? If you don't understand, don't be afraid, today I plant the seeds of suspicion, and when your true face is exposed in front of others, you will naturally understand!
Yun Yuexi rubbed her eyes, walked to Yun Yi's side in small steps, and said softly: "Father, what Princess Youran said is true, although this matter is aimed at her daughter, there must be something strange, my sister also wrote an inscription at the banquet before, presumably that person deliberately framed Taifu Mansion!" ”
"I've wronged you!" Yun Yi heard that Yun Yuexi was so reasonable, and saw that her eyes were slightly red, knowing that she had been wronged today, and only after reassuring him did he look at Yang Xiuji and said angrily: "You are a scoundrel to this point, imitating my son's handwriting, and you want to take the opportunity to slander Taifu Mansion!" His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness King Xuan, this person is bold, please transfer it to Shuntian Mansion for inspection! Return my Taifu's innocence! ”
King Xuan, who was sitting in the carriage, had already seen everyone's expressions clearly, sneered in his heart, looked at Yun Yuexi standing on the steps with some distress, and said lightly before the prince: "Lin Xi, send this person to Shuntian Mansion Yin, and tell Liang Zong that this king wants to know the final result." ”
"I didn't! Your Highness! Xiaomin didn't! Xiaomin is really wronged! ”
"Yes!" Lin Xi waved his hand, and soon two soldiers appeared and stepped forward to arrest Yang Xiuji, and blocked his mouth by the way, after all, with King Xuan's words, this person would have to shed his skin if he entered Shuntian Mansion and did not die.
When Yun Yuexi heard King Xuan's words, her eyes unconsciously looked at the carriage, although through the curtain of the carriage, she could still feel his distressed gaze, only to feel her heart slammed, and her cheeks were slightly hot, as if she had broken some little secret.
And King Xuan saw Yun Yuexi's slightly shy appearance, and suddenly felt very good, and even heard that someone came to the door early in the morning to say that he had a marriage contract with Yuexi, and all the displeasure dissipated, completely forgetting that in fact, people themselves also have a marriage contract.
Of course, he knew that with his Xiaoxi'er's intelligence, he naturally had a way to deal with such villains, but he still couldn't rest assured after all, and immediately hurried from the school yard after receiving the news, pretending to be passing by, at least she was here, she could rest assured.
Yang Xiuji heard Ouyang Haoxuan say that the handwriting was Yun Manrou's before, and he was slightly relieved in his heart, after all, he had failed this time, but if this matter was really instructed by Yun Manrou, then he still held the handle of the Taifu Mansion in his hand, and if they refused to let him go at that time, he would definitely not let the Taifu Mansion alone! But it didn't take long for things to change completely!
If Yun Yuexi knew what Yang Xiuji was thinking, she would definitely think that he was ridiculous, don't say that he has the handle of Taifu Mansion, just now he is personally named by King Xuan and sent to Shuntian Mansion Yin, even if he says anything, he will be regarded as rumors, and he will be bitten indiscriminately, if Yun Manrou is really involved, with Yun Yi's person, he will definitely strike first and kill him directly in prison.
The prince's face is not very good, and King Xuan's actions have directly put him in a completely neglected place, which is the most intolerable thing for him, but he can't get angry in front of everyone, right?
Yun Manrou sensed the anger of the prince beside her, and said softly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, that Shuntianfu Yin has always been fair, whether it is black or white, it must be able to tell clearly, but what should Xiu'er do?" Anyway, I've been with my sister since I was a child......"
"Princess Youran, how does Princess Yuexi think she should deal with such a girl who betrays her back?" Yun Yuexi naturally heard the meaning of Yun Manrou deliberately setting a trap for herself, and turned her head to look at Youran with a smile.
Yun Yuexi thought it was funny, she Yun Manrou wanted her to deal with Xiu'er, but she also asked for the wrong person, right? I think His Royal Highness the Prince can't cross the Taifu Mansion to deal with a girl next to her, right?
What's more, Xiu'er has won the sympathy of many people before, no matter how she says, she has been with her for many years, even if she made a mistake first, King Xuan has already punished her, if she has done it, I am afraid that she will have a reputation as a mean subordinate, there is obviously an arrogant lord standing next to her, why do you bother to be in the limelight?
Yun Manrou saw that Yun Yuexi couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in her hand, but so many people watched, if she always spoke for a girl, it would be too suspicious, her eyes rolled slightly, and suddenly she stumbled, and the big girl next to her suddenly exclaimed: "Second Miss!" ”
The prince was beside Yun Manrou, so he naturally stretched out his hand to support Yun Manrou, seeing that she was unconscious, he said to Yun Yi a little anxiously: "Miss Yun Er is afraid that she has been frightened, Master Taifu should hurry up and ask the doctor to come over!" ”
Yun Yi hurriedly instructed Steward Zhu to ask for a doctor in the house, and the prince strode into the mansion with Yun Manrou in his arms, he was already robbed of the limelight by King Xuan today and lost face, but now Yun Manrou's fainting gave the prince a step, and when he crossed Yun Yuexi, he didn't even look at her.
It's just that Yun Yuexi didn't look at the prince either, of course she knew that Yun Manrou was deliberately unconscious just to reveal what happened before, but did she think she was a vegetarian?
She also knew the prince's thoughts, but she felt that most of today's events were caused by herself, and there was a saying that I didn't kill Bozhong, but Bozhong died because of me.
The prince's current mood is more accurately described as, I don't lose your face, but your face falls because of me, but he doesn't want to think about it, now lying on the ground and begging is the girl Xiu'er who is regarded as an ant in their eyes, if Yun Manrou's plan is successful, then it is himself who has fallen into the abyss now!
Princess Youran knew that Yun Manrou's body was weak, and it must be nothing serious, so her mind was all on Xiu'er, she glanced at her with a gleng look, and said to the grandmother beside her: "Bring this girl into the palace, and the palace will personally punish such a girl who betrays the master!" ”
Yun Yi obviously didn't expect Princess Youran to intervene in this matter, thinking that Xiu'er couldn't speak anyway and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the matter can be regarded as settled here, King Xuan left here without stopping, as if it was really just passing by, and Princess Youran had already rested her thoughts on swimming in the lake, and returned to the palace with Xiu'er.
"Xi'er!" When everyone dispersed, Yun Yi stopped Yun Yuexi and comforted: "You were also frightened today, don't worry, with your father here, no one will hurt you!" ”
"Thank you, father!" Yun Yuexi glanced at Yun Yi cautiously, looking like she had nowhere to vent her admiration, and said softly with red eyes: "Father, my sister was frightened today, you better release your mother from the ancestral hall." ”
"King Kexuan's side......" Yun Yi was a little softer by Yun Yuexi's cautious eyes, frowned and said: "I know you are an understanding child, you can go back to your room and rest!" ”
"Father, if my sister mentions this matter in front of the prince later, won't it make my father embarrassed?" Yun Yuexi opened his mouth in embarrassment.
