Chapter 12: Disgraced?
The next day, Song Huaijin deliberately got up early in the morning and rushed to the Nine Kings' Mansion, but she didn't want the Manchu Dynasty to have already arrived, so she looked up at the sky that had just dawned, and made sure that she was not late, so she walked in with confidence.
On the main seat, the Nine Emperor Princes were full of sadness, while the Fifth Prince Lu Jinning, who was sitting next to him, always had a gentle and calm smile.
Lu Jinchen stood in the hall in an ink-colored robe, talking about peace, but his expression was like he had come to seek revenge.
Song Huaijin walked in while observing, and when he passed by Chu Weiran's side, he suddenly felt that the belt of his clothes was hooked by something, and the outer robe fell uncontrollably in an instant.
Song Huaijin was suddenly startled, and turned his head to Shang Chu Weiran's sad smile.
In just a moment, before Song Huaijin could panic, he first reached out and pulled down Chu Weiran's robe and quickly put it on himself.
Things happened too quickly, and when everyone reacted, Song Huaijin had already changed into a robe.
And Chu Weiran, who was only wearing a middle coat, stood in his position in a daze, looking a little dazed and embarrassed, but soon, the embarrassment on his face was swept away, and all turned gloomy.
I designed such a perfect plan, but I was cracked by Song Huaijin's action?!
No way! Now that everything has come to this point, how can you give up so easily!
Chu Weiran completely ignored his robe, and directly reached out and pulled out the hairpin on Song Huaijin's head at once.
The next moment, three thousand green silks fell, reflecting the woman's slightly pale face, and inexplicably gave birth to a bit of poignant demonization.
Seeing this, the ministers of the DPRK and China looked sideways, and they all seemed to be impressed by the woman's appearance.
Chu Weiran didn't have the heart to look at this, and knelt down directly and said: "Your Royal Highness the Nine, Song Huaijin disguised herself as a man and mixed into the imperial court, with ill intentions, and the crime was to deceive the king, and I asked Your Highness to execute you." β
Hearing this, Lu Jinchen finally turned around, and was shocked by the woman's appearance for a moment - she was not as embarrassed as when she first saw her at the water's edge, and at this moment, the wide robe and wide sleeves swayed slightly with the wind, like a mortal immortal, but it amazed all beings.
Song Huaijin didn't have time to deal with the scattered hair and immediately knelt down - now was not the time to be reckless.
Seeing her kneeling, a group of civil officials who couldn't get used to seeing her climb too fast showed a smug smile.
Bai Ziling, who was standing in the middle of the civil officials, was the first to speak: "Yoββ, isn't this my waste niece who was kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" It's a pity that you'll be killed after three days of being a strategist! β
Bai Ziling is Bai Zijian's younger brother, so he naturally knows her.
Song Huaijin turned his eyes to look at Bai Ziling, and said obediently: "Yes, I am naturally no better than you, second uncle, who has been an official for more than ten years, and I am only a third-grade literati." β
What she means is that she can become a first-class strategist in three days, and Bai Ziling has been mixed up for so many years, and she can only be a civil official from the third grade.
Bai Ziling's beard stood up, and he said sharply: "Little slut, you are a woman disguised as a man, and you are guilty of bullying the king, and you dare to quibble here!" β
"Yes, yes, I have long heard that the prime minister fostered his waste daughter of the water-based poplar flower in the Anling Bai family, but I didn't expect it to come out and be embarrassed."
"Last time, I don't think she came up with it herself, where did she seduce some powerful people and steal other people's ideas?"
Bai Ziling continued to rob while the fire was on fire: "Your Highness the Nineth, Song Huaijin has committed the crime of bullying the king, please drag it out immediately and behead it!" β
The expression on the face of the Nine Emperor Princes was very complicated, some were shocked, some were reluctant, and Song Huaijin's eyes were a little more scrutinizing and interested, but he did not have any killing intent.
Regardless of whether Song Huaijin is a man or a woman, he likes the sense of peace of mind that this person brings him, "everything doesn't need to worry", and if he is decided, he will definitely not kill her.
Lu Jinchen frowned slightly, looking at the woman kneeling on the ground, some irritability inexplicably rose in his chest, this is no better than the Bai family, I don't know if she can cope with it, do you want to excuse her?
Lu Jinchen thought about it for a while, and was just about to speak, when he saw Song Huaijin raise his head and ask: "Lord Bai said that I deceived the king, dare to ask me what crime I committed?" Which gentleman did you deceive? β
Bai Ziling looked at Song Huaijin like a joke, was this person scared crazy? When she was dying, she used this kind of knowingly excuse to see that he didn't let her disappear completely:
"Forcibly quibbled, you entered the office as a woman and deceived the Ninth Highness in a high position!"
Song Huaijin smiled: "If I wear men's clothes, I must be a man?" Has any of you asked me about my gender? Then Ming'er Bai, you wear a woman's clothes, do I have to sue you for bullying the king? β
Bai Ziling was even more angry: "Full of nonsense, how can I wear women's clothes?" β
"And what if I have to let you wear it?"
"Mad woman!" Bai Ziling scolded: "How can you control my dressing? β
"Then why do you care about my clothes?" Song Huaijin looked back: "I love to wear men's clothes, why do you care so wide?" β
"You ......" Bai Ziling's beard straightened out with anger, and he was speechless for a while.
Seeing this, Lu Jinchen's eyebrows also soothed slightly, and he continued to see with interest what Song Huaijin would say next.
Bai Ziling easily relieved his anger: "Then what did you kneel just now?!" β
"Get on your knees?" Song Huaijin said: "Of course, I knelt down to greet a few highnesses according to the custom, is there any problem?" Could it be that Lord Bai thinks that I shouldn't greet a few highnesses? β
Song Huaijin smiled slightly, she really sighed at Bai Ziling's stupidity, no wonder her official position was promoted by half a rank in more than ten years.
"Huai Jin is right!" Seeing that the situation had reversed, the Nine Emperor Princes immediately seized the opportunity to speak: "Why should Lord Bai be deliberately embarrassed? β
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent, and the atmosphere became tense in silence.
Anling is the fief of the Nine Emperor Princes, and here, his words have absolute prestige.
Bai Ziling's originally angry and red face turned gray with fright at the moment, hasn't Song Huaijin always been stupid and easy to bully? When did you get into the eyes of the Nine Emperor Princes?
If you insist on executing Song Huaijin today, wouldn't you have trouble with the Nine Emperor Princes? After that, let alone a career, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even save my life.
Bai Ziling didn't dare to say more, so he had to retreat to his seat stupidly.
Song Huaijin stood up after saluting and gently patted Bai Ziling's shoulder: "Lord Bai, with the IQ of your three-legged cat, don't be embarrassed in front of a few highnesses, okay?" And alsoβ"
Song Huaijin pointed at Chu Weiran, raised his voice and said, "This general who untied his daughter's belt in public, His Royal Highness the Ninth doesn't deal with it now, is it possible that he will keep it for the New Year?" β
Chu Weiran's face turned pale when he heard this, and he suddenly looked up at the Nine Emperor Princes like a frightened bird, and quibbled with trembling hands: "Your Highness, the minister doesn't know, the minister doesn't know that she is a woman,"
Lu Jinning, who had been watching the play, shook his head and smiled, his smile was still warm and good-looking, and said softly: "How did General Chu forget, wasn't it you who was the first to say that she was dressed as a man just now?" β
Chu Weiran was completely spread on the ground, and he couldn't even kneel steadily, the fifth prince Lu Jinning has always been concerned about the facts and laws, and he said one thing or the other, and now that he is said like this, his career can be regarded as coming to an end.
The Nine Emperor Princes received the order and immediately said: "The order is passed down, the second-class general Chu Weiran maliciously disturbed the order of the court, and from then on he was demoted to a third-class staff general, and he was not allowed to enter the court to discuss matters." β
As soon as the Nine Emperor Prince's words fell, two guards outside the palace directly threw Chu Weiran out.
Chu Weiran's eyes were empty, and when he was pulled away, his white lips trembled like a ghost had taken his soul, and he didn't say a word.
originally wanted to take today's opportunity to completely discredit Song Huaijin, but now he is ruined and has no hope for the future.
What kind of person is Song Huaijin? It's so terrible!
Why is the whole world helping her?
