Chapter 14: Slapped in the Mouth
Baohe Palace, a long-awaited little life, was finally born safely. Although his steps were a little hasty and he had experienced too many unpredictable dangers, he still carried his loud cry and fell between the starry night and the mortal world.
Listening to the extraordinary baby cry, Emperor Xiao's eyes lit up, straightened his back and stood up from the dragon chair, looked into the distance with his hands, and let out a long breath.
Beside him, the respectful shouts of hundreds of officials and ministers resounded to curb Xingyun:
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Gu Yunxi's heart relaxed a little at this moment.
Along the way, she and Gu Yunyao learned about the assassination from Gong E, who reported the incident.
Gu Yunxi simply believes that now that Xu Niangniang has given birth safely, the emperor should always be able to calm down the anger, allow time to investigate the assassination incident in detail, and will no longer blindly blame the overseer.
quietly turned his head to look at Leng Qingtang, but saw that his face was still very ugly. On his head, the edge of the silver silk auspicious cloud top hat has been soaked with hot sweat, and beads of sweat continue to roll down on the sideburns.
After many years of experience in the ups and downs of officialdom, with his understanding of Emperor Xiao, Leng Qingtang knew that things had just begun and were far from over.
Concubine Xu gave birth to the prince smoothly, which seems to be a happy event, but as far as the emperor is concerned, this incident will only stimulate him and make him even more afraid of the beginning. If Concubine Xu misses, it will endanger the fetus in the womb and cause the royal family to lose another son.
Therefore, Leng Qingtang knew that Emperor Xiao, who had received good news at this time, would only have a grudge in his heart towards him, the commander of Dongchang.
As the Son of Heaven, he will inflict on him all the fright and pain that he endured when Concubine Xu was born prematurely.
"Smack"
With a slap, the crisp sound silenced the hundred officials, and the Baohe Hall sank into an endless dead silence again.
This sudden movement was like a thunderbolt in a sunny day, and Gu Yunxi's body shook violently.
After hitting the dragon case hard, the spicy pain in the palm of the hand made Emperor Xiao even more angry. The five fingers gathered into a fist, he rolled his eyes and stared at the Leng Qingtang under the stage, roaring and shaking the sky, echoing in the air above the silent and bright hall:
"Admiral Dongchang, you instructed the tribute girl to assassinate me, almost endangering my emperor, and his deeds can be punished! Someone comes, push him out of the noon gate, and behead him immediately"
"Unjust"
Offstage, Gu Yunxi suddenly shouted on his back.
Seeing that the overseer was wronged and life and death was imminent, she no longer cared about any palace rules and etiquette, and shouted loudly to the stage:
"Your Majesty, the overseer of my family is wronged! He will never instruct the tribute girl to assassinate you, he will not do such a great rebellion."
"Yun Guan'er"
Leng Qingtang's face turned pale, and it was too late to stop her. The words are spoken, and it is difficult to collect the water.
Emperor Xiao was stunned for a moment, his sharp eyes swept towards the bold little Fanwei in the audience, his expression was angry but also a little curious.
By his side, Gu Yunyao was frightened by his sister's reckless actions, and her body fell on the chair, completely at a loss.
"Bold"
The imperial concubine Wan Yuyao shouted with a fierce face, and her eyes were filled with scarlet anger:
"What are you, you dare to shout loudly in front of the Holy Lord, peeping at Long Yan!"
Leng Qingtang was terrified, his palms were clenched into fine hot sweat, he bowed his head and bowed, and said in a trembling voice:
"The emperor atoned for his sins! This slave is the apprentice of the minister, he doesn't understand the rules when he first comes to the palace, and he has no intention of offending Tianwei, hoping that the emperor will forgive him for his sins! ”
Wan Yuyao smiled coldly, took a few steps forward, and her aggressiveness did not decrease in the slightest:
"It doesn't matter if you don't know the rules. If he doesn't understand the rules, we must always teach him to understand the rules. Minglan ......"
"The minister is here."
Minglan gave his hand to Wan Yuyao on the stage.
Wan Yuyao gently raised her chin and said proudly:
"Go, take this minion's mouth well, so that he knows and knows the palace rules!"
"Wechen obeys."
Ming Lan bowed his head, and then his ghostly figure fell lightly in front of Gu Yunxi. Yoyo rolled up her sleeves, the pair of eyes that were watching her tightly, greedy and vicious.
He and her, he and Leng Qingtang, and he and Dongchang, the hatred between them has been around for a long time. Today is the moment of shame for him in the Snow Qingfeng Temple.
"Ignorant minion, this governor is here to teach you the rules at this moment!"
The voice of Yin Mi seemed to be pointed, and it had just sounded, and a slap had already reached Gu Yunxi's face.
The slap was loud
Although Minglan is not good at martial arts, this first slap was slapped out with all his might, and it can be said that he placed all his grudges on this palm, and the force was not light.
Gu Yunxi was knocked to the ground by this palm, and his hat rolled down. The official bun in the middle of the top of his head was loosened by the violent vibration, and the silky green silk poured down like a black and beautiful waterfall.
Minglan held his wrist and flipped it twice, admiring the delicate body that collapsed to the ground in front of him, and curled his thin lips in satisfaction.
Wan Yuyao could see clearly from the high dragon platform, and she felt that there seemed to be a kind of charm that could not be described in words in the embarrassment of the little guard. Squinting his eyes and pondering for a moment, a cloud of doubt rose in his heart.
Gu Yunxi was slapped by Minglan's retaliatory slap, his ears rang endlessly, and the corners of his mouth burst into flowers. As soon as the numbness passed, half of the little face that flew up immediately burned in pain. On it, the huge five-finger red mark is extremely eye-catching.
The crystal water droplets are like broken threads, rolling out of the eye sockets uncontrollably. didn't care about wiping the blood on his face, and in front of everyone, he staggered up his upper body.
“…… My home...... My Overseer...... Wronged ......"
Gu Yunxi lowered his head and gasped deeply, intermittently, and spit out again.
As thin as a gossamer, it clearly fell into Minglan's ears. The cold light in his eyes suddenly appeared, and he slapped his backhand again, slapping the other half of Gu Yunxi's face.
Beside her, Leng Qingtang was stunned, but he was prostrate and kowtowed, and he couldn't move at all.
Because he is wearing a sinful body, the emperor does not spit out, he cannot get up at will, and everything around him has nothing to do with him. According to the palace rules, he can only maintain his posture at the moment, even if he is very anxious, he can only endure!
In the chest, a beating heart was painful because the little girl was beaten, and it was also touched by her persistence and persistence
He hated, hated the enemies who framed him and brought unwarranted calamity upon the little girl
In the dark eyes, endless anger and resentment rolled endlessly. The bottom of the eyes is getting deeper, like a thick night, turbid and cold.
After the two palms were finished, Minglan deliberately turned his eyes, and looked at Leng Qingtang with a bright gaze, which was very provocative.
For him, hitting Gu Yunxi is undoubtedly tantamount to beating Leng Qingtang!
The playful smile was at the corner of his lips, and then he slapped a few palms, then opened his bow left and right, and slapped Gu Yunxi dozens of times one after another.
On the high platform, Gu Yunyao trembled physically and mentally, and she really couldn't continue to look at it. straightened her spine and was about to stand up, but Zhao An's cough behind her was tight, reminding her not to be impulsive.
She had to sit upright, her fists clenched fiercely in her wide sleeves.
Minglan really couldn't move, and finally stopped, and gasped for a while.
Gu Yunxi's limp body fell to the ground again.
At this time, the leader of the forbidden army entered His Royal Highness to worship and saluted Emperor Xiao on the high platform:
"Your Majesty, the identity of the assassin has now been ascertained. These seven corpses all have sand wolf head vermilion on their backs, which belong to the Tulu people in northern Xinjiang. How to pretend to be a palace maid to sneak into the palace, the last general needs to go further
Check. ”
Fanguo in Northern Xinjiang, who rebelled against Dayi not long ago, was ambitious after defeat
Emperor Xiao grabbed the jade cup on the dragon case and fell to the ground angrily.
"The emperor is angry!"
The hundred officials knelt down in unison, silent as cicadas.
Gu Yunxi got up weakly, holding the ground with both arms. I just ate a slap, and my mouth was full of blood.
The jaw was unconscious, heavy and wooden, as if it no longer belonged to hers, and it was difficult to even move a little to express a whole sentence clearly.
But she was so stubborn that she refused to give up, refused to give in, stubbornly swallowed a mouthful of blood into her stomach, bowed her head with tears, and shouted again:
"Your Majesty, the slave has been serving in the Tribute Courtyard since he was a child, and he knows that the Tribute Courtyard has never lived in a foreign woman! Your Majesty, the Admiral of Dongchang was framed and wronged! ”
The muddy sound, the sound was terrible, resounding in the dull treasure and hall, lingering among the golden brilliance, carved beams and paintings, and also knocking heavily on the hearts of everyone present.
The national teacher Yu Xuanji is located in the first row of the civil official queue, wearing a big red gold thread lotus embroidered Taoist robe, fairy posture, peerless beauty.
When Emperor Xiao of the Dynasty revered Taoism, he opened up special privileges for the national teacher, so that he could face the saint and avoid kneeling on any occasion.
The ethereal eyes fell on the stubborn little fan guard on the field, as light as a feather, without half a weight. In the condescending calm, on his facial features that were almost out of appearance, every inch of unwillingness and tenacity, stubbornness and resoluteness, were included in the two unwavering eyes at a glance.
tilted his head slightly, and his young and handsome face smiled with interest.
Minglan was already very angry, for her insistence and for her lack of enlightenment, she immediately opened her teeth and claws, looked hideous, and said loudly:
"Hey! Bentu's slap hasn't hit you yet! ”
Raising his hand to continue, Yu Xuanji raised his head and waved his hand to the stage:
"Your Majesty, the time has come. Poor Dao respectfully asked the emperor to move to the Daolu and take Jindan. ”
Emperor Xiao has always been obedient to the words of the national teacher, and it is almost time to serve Dan. It's just that today is different, and there are still things to deal with, so he hesitated.
Beside her, Yu Zhaoyi Gu Yunyao lowered her head and prayed in a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, the concubines beg the emperor to be gracious for the time being. Today, the prince has just been born, and he can't recreate the killing karma and add blood in vain, your majesty! ”
Emperor Xiao's heart moved, and he leaned over to help Gu Yunyao up. Seeing her cheeks and tears, her hands were cold, she thought that this delicate beauty was really scared.
Snorted indignantly, lowered his eyes and looked at the Leng Qingtang below, Emperor Xiao said in a deep voice, in a cold tone:
"The commander of the East Factory is lazy and derelict in his duties, and now he is dismissed from the post of the master of ceremonies, and he will be eighty canes, and he will be put into the prison together with that guard, and he will be beheaded on a certain day! The Youzhu Gongyuan was taken over by the West Factory. Minglan, you will be sentenced to prison after a while. ”
"Wechen obeys!"
Minglan bowed deeply, and the moment he bent his body, he smiled treacherously.
Leng Qingtang's mind was blank for a moment, and he had nothing to do for a while. He kowtowed, his forehead was on the ground, and he said weakly:
"Minister...... Thank you, Lord Longen......"
Emperor Xiao yawned twice in succession, and his spirit was a little sluggish.
Knowing that it was indeed time to take the pill, he waved his sleeves, pulled Gu Yunyao and walked out of the hall, followed closely by the national teacher Yu Xuanji.
Passing by Queen Qian's side, she asked anxiously:
"Your Majesty, aren't you going to see the little prince first?"
Emperor Xiao raised his eyebrows, but he didn't listen to his steps, and his resolute voice was like a cold wind blowing:
"I'll talk about it in a few days! I want to go back to Daolu! ”
