Chapter 18: Substitute for the Dead
"Wait a minute...... Yes! ”
Rong Yunxi deliberately stepped forward and pretended to pull Shisu's sleeve, but she tripped over her skirt under her feet, and pounced straight at Shisu.
"Miss Rong!"
"Smack!"
Rong Yunxi had already fallen to the ground, and with it on the ground, there was the box in Zisu's hand.
The box had already been shattered, and after the shell was broken, the cassette inside was revealed, and the notes that were spilled all over the ground were all Rong Yunxi's names, and only the notes with the name of Princess Yale were left in the cassette in a narrow gap.
The note of the two people can obviously be divided into two piles.
"It's ...... What's going on! ”
Rong Yunxi looked at the pieces of paper and the cassette on the ground and muttered to herself, her face was shocked at first, and then she stood up and walked towards Princess Yale, her whole face was cold and serious.
"Princess, the draw just now doesn't seem fair, does it? Why is it all my name in this box? ”
Princess Yale looked at the box on the ground with the same shocked face, the weak country is not Rong Yunxi guessed that this box is tired, I am afraid that she is really about to believe Princess Yale's appearance.
"This! What the hell is going on! ”
Her eyes widened in anger in an instant, and she shouted to Zisu, "Zisu, I asked you to prepare this box, why is this happening!"
"Don't you take the words of this princess seriously!"
Shisu immediately knelt down, "Princess, the slave maid was prepared with Hongrui at that time, and the room where the box was prepared, except for Hongrui and me, no one had ever entered it!" ”
Princess Yale narrowed her eyes and asked, "So, do you admit that you have manipulated this box?" ”
Shisu slammed her head on the ground, her voice still calm and calm, "The slave maid has never done such a thing. ”
"And who do you say? Could it be that a third person had entered that room? ”
Shisu hung his head, his face was hesitant, his eyes were wandering, and he didn't dare to speak, "Slave maid...... The slave didn't dare to say ......"
"Say!"
When the emperor heard the movement here, he did not leave, and kept standing beside Princess Yale and listening.
At this time, seeing Shisu's hesitant appearance, the impatience between his expressions was obvious to the extreme.
"I want to see who dares to marry my daughter!"
Shiso was as amused as chaff, and all the eyes of all the ladies were on this first-class palace maid.
Her eyes trembled as she swept over a group of women, and the women who were watching couldn't help but take a step back.
Huo Yurou stood in the middle of a group of female dependents and subconsciously clenched Rong Yuejin's hand.
But Zisu's gaze stopped at Rong Yuejin's body, "Your Majesty, actually...... The slave maid had indeed seen a person enter the house, who was the second lady of the Rong family of the Wudehou Mansion. ”
"Presumably...... Presumably because she was angry that the eldest lady of the Rong family made her hurt her face when she boarded the ship......"
"You're spewing blood.."
Rong Yuejin subconsciously screamed for birth, glaring at Zi Su and eager to rip her, "I haven't entered that room at all, you're just ...... at all"
Before she finished her words, Huo Yurou suddenly pulled her to her knees.
Rong Yuejinhua lost her complexion, glanced at Huo Yurou in shock, and when she saw her mother's almost sad face, and noticed Princess Yale's sharp warning gaze, her whole heart was constantly sinking, sinking.
It turned out that this was really done by Princess Yale, but it was impossible for the emperor to punish Princess Yale.
This has nothing to do with whether she has done it or not, the emperor just needs a substitute for Princess Yale to be punished and save the royal face.
"Rong Yuejin, you are guilty!"
The emperor's cold and majestic voice sounded, Rong Yuejin's face was like ashes, and he didn't shout anymore.
"I ...... Conviction of sin. ”
When she said those two words, her whole body trembled, and she bit her lower lip to let herself spit out.
"Drag Rong Yuejin down, and the rod will be punished for twenty."
When Huo Yurou heard this, she was so frightened that she slammed her head on the wooden board and made a bang.
"Ask the emperor to be merciful! Yuejin is young and ignorant, and she hopes that the emperor will be gracious, she is a girl's family, if she goes down with twenty rods, her life will definitely not be guaranteed! ”
If he really gets on the twenty boards, Rong Yuejin will inevitably be crippled even if he doesn't die in the future.
However, the emperor's indifferent face only became more and more impatient, "That's all for today." ”
As he turned to leave, a delicate woman's voice sounded in the crowd.
"Please also ask the emperor to be gracious, after all, Yuejin is still young, and there will always be times when she is young and ignorant, and this eldest lady of the Rong family is also fortunate to be fine, the twenty big boards really want Yuejin half of her life, this time it will be for the sake of the concubines, ask the emperor to give him a grace."
This person is Huo Guifei, Qi Mingshu's mother-in-law.
Rong Yunxi remembers very well how she was so close to her back then, and how she was miserable and had no way to ask for help later, and was kicked out of the door by her.
It's just to pave the way for his son's great cause.
Following the prestige, Huo Guifei is dressed in a dark purple palace dress today, with a dark red peony flower on her head, her skin is white and snowy, and she is bright and shining.
And the power of Huo Guifei's mother family, the Huo family, which the emperor also took into account, immediately softened his attitude when he heard Huo Guifei's words.
"That's it, since Huo Guifei is willing to come forward to intercede for you, change the cane to be grounded, copy the entire Buddhist scriptures in the ancestral hall, and repent well!."
"Thank you for your kindness!"
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Rong Yuejin's biological mother and Huo Guifei knelt down and thanked her, and Huo Yurou's frightened hands were still shaking.
"Let's take it."
When Rong Yuejin was pressed down, passing by Rong Yunxi's voice, she heard her deliberate low mockery.
"To be a dog, you have to pick the owner, otherwise...... casually can be kicked away by the master as a substitute for the dead.,It's really pitiful and pathetic.。 ”
Rong Yuejin snorted coldly, and before being completely escorted away, she returned Rong Yunxi's words.
"Heh, sister, you dare to rob a man with a princess, aren't you too daring?"
And Princess Yale to grab Qi Zhan?
Rong Yunxi subconsciously clenched her fists, and a burst of ridicule rose in her heart.
clearly warned himself that Qi Zhan was a dangerous person, but he still had something to ask him for.
"What are you thinking?"
The emperor was comforting Princess Yale with Huo Guifei, Qi Zhan turned his head to look at Rong Yunxi who was in a trance, and couldn't help but ask.
Rong Yunxi's face was indifferent and cold, he just shook his head, and never said anything related again.
"It's nothing, the banquet is about to start, let's go."
However, as soon as the two of them took a step to sell, they suddenly remembered the exclamation of a palace maid not far away.
"Ah——!h
"What's wrong?!"
The emperor asked the chief eunuch beside him in a cold voice, his face displeased.
"The emperor is angry, and the slave will go to check."
The eunuch beside him suddenly trembled, and hurriedly replied, his face became extremely pale in an instant, and his heart trembled.
After a while, a palace maid was brought up.
"Report to the emperor and the princesses, those two cats fought, and then the Persian cat ....."
