Chapter 390: Identity Exposed
Chu Qingruo returned to the palace, he was in the West Palace, but he was worried about Fu Lingyun in his heart, and he didn't know what the scene was like after he went to the Yamen.
Because of her meritorious work, the West Palace and the East Palace were connected, so the specially gave her a courtyard alone.
After tossing and turning and unable to sleep, she walked around the yard with her clothes on.
Suddenly, a figure flew in front of her, startling her: "Qingruo! ”
She raised her eyes and saw that it was Fu Lingyun, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Are you alright? It's just wonderful. ”
The demeanor of a child who had not been seen for a long time immediately appeared on her face.
Although Fu Lingyun looked a little tired, he was still in good spirits.
Seeing Chu Qingruo like this, he couldn't help but pull her into his arms and kiss her fiercely on the mouth.
Gradually, the kiss between the two began to become hot, and the temperature in the small yard suddenly increased a little because of their enthusiasm.
"Qingruo, let's go back to the house."
When Chu Qingruo was almost paralyzed in his arms, Fu Lingyun picked her up, kicked open the door and walked in.
The moon shyly hid in the clouds, and the night was adorned with bright stars for the people in this hut, and the pear blossoms on the branches were also fragrant. Add a charming touch to this intoxicating night.
After the clouds and rain, Chu Qingruo lay panting in Fu Lingyun's arms and asked, "How did you come out?" Didn't the people of the Yamen decide that you were a murderer? ”
Look at the official errand, although he is sophisticated and sleek, he is not upright. If a person dies on the spot, on the surface, it can be regarded as a combination of stolen goods, how can he let him come out easily?
She couldn't figure it out.
Fu Lingyun chuckled, picked up a strand of green silk from hers and put it under his nose and smelled it, and a faint fragrance came from it, which was the smell he loved very much.
"After I went to the official mansion, I didn't really explain much, the official was quite fair, after inspecting the restaurant, I knew that we were the one who was assassinated, and I was forced to shoot him to death, so he relieved me to come out."
In fact, the scene of today's passing through the court is far less than he said lightly, although the official is fair, but to prove his innocence, he still has a lot of words.
But he didn't say it, he just didn't want her to continue to worry about himself.
Sure enough, Chu Qingruo was relieved.
But after being relieved for a while, her worrying temper came again.
"Wenyuan, have you found Gao Bo?"
Gao Bo has not been heard from since he left recklessly that day, saying that he was going to enter the palace to save Song Xiuzhu.
Chu Qingruo was very worried.
Fu Lingyun also sighed: "I don't know where he is afraid, I have almost searched through the business capital in the past few days when you entered the palace, and I haven't found him." ”
Chu Qingruo raised his head slightly and asked in surprise, "Will he be arrested?" ”
Fu Lingyun shook his head: "No, if he is in danger, he will definitely find a way to leave a mark that only we can understand, but now there is not even a mark, this is what gives me the most headache." ”
Chu Qing was thoughtful, and while unconsciously drawing circles on his chest, he muttered, "But where did he go?" It's not worry-free! ”
"Ahem! You don't give people peace of mind! ”
Her unconscious teasing caused him to fire again.
As soon as the ape's arm stretched, he pulled up the light red quilt and covered the two of them......
Next
Because someone in the palace would soon come to call Chu Qingruo, Fu Lingyun had to get up before dawn and reluctantly leave.
Chu Qingruo, who had been severely trained all night, climbed up with the waist pole that was about to break, and after getting dressed neatly, he quickly poured a glass of water and moistened his throat that was almost dumb.
"Aunt Qing, are you up?"
As soon as she had a glass of water, the little palace maid urged outside the door.
"It's coming!"
Opening the door in response, Chu Qingruo straightened his clothes and walked out.
As soon as I went out, I saw this sixteen or seventeen-year-old little palace maid with a sad face.
"What's wrong? Gigi? ”
Ah Zhi said with a sad face: "Auntie, you can be careful when you go later, the monarch is here early this morning." ”
Chu Qingruo was surprised: "What is the monarch doing early in the morning?" ”
Ah Zhi said: "I don't know, I have a black face when I come, and I don't even dare to ask my mother, I am waiting for it with trepidation!" ”
Chu Qingruo thought for a while: "Did you bring the holy decree?" ”
Ah Zhi shook his head: "No." ”
Chu Qingruo wondered so much in his heart: Then what did he do here? Could it be that something went wrong in the middle of this?
When she reached the garden, she saw the old monarch sitting there with his face stretched, as if waiting for her arrival.
Chu Qingruo walked up to him casually, and after making a big salute, he was about to stand up and retreat to the side, only to hear the old monarch shout lightly: "Did I let you get up?" ”
Chu Qingruo was stunned for a moment, and then knelt still: "The monarch is angry, I don't know what the slave and maid have done wrong?" ”
"Humph!" The old monarch snorted coldly and slapped the teacup in his hand on the table.
The people in the West Palace, including, were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The monarch is angry!" ”
The old monarch waved his hand: "You all step back and leave her behind, I still have something to ask her." ”
and left and right glanced at each other, and left and right immediately helped her up, and all of them withdrew from the garden, leaving only Chu Qingruo and Lao Guojun in the garden.
When the old monarch saw that everyone was gone, he slapped the table heavily and stood up: "You are so bold!" ”
Chu Qingruo's face was inexplicable: "The slave doesn't know what the monarch meant, and I ask the monarch to make it clear~" said and knocked his head on the ground.
The old monarch lifted a portrait from the table and threw it in front of her: "Hmph! I'm really clumsy, the famous, world-famous female prime minister is under my nose, I didn't even recognize it, it's really disrespectful! ”
Chu Qingruo lowered her head and glanced at the portrait on the ground, which was exactly what she looked like, and there were a lot of small words annotated next to her, all of which talked about her background background.
Knowing that his identity could no longer be hidden, Chu Qingruo simply stood up and generously admitted: "That's right, I am the person on the portrait, not the king's clumsiness, and it is definitely not Qingruo's intention to deceive the monarch. ”
The old monarch laughed angrily: "Hmph, what a clever mouth, well, you have to tell me, what is the reason why you have to make you not even a majestic female prime minister, and run to me to be a rough aunt!" ”
Chu Qingruo told the monarch about the murder of Han Ling'er and Geng Kang in the territory of Sangyun Kingdom, and the fact that his daughter Geng Lian was kidnapped by Jade Sword Villa and almost trained to be an assassin.
After speaking, she made a formal gift to the old monarch and said: "Han Ling'er and I are married to Jinlan, like sisters, my sister was killed, my niece is missing, how can my sister, as an aunt, talk about state affairs with the emperor in the court with peace of mind?" ”
After speaking, he held back the tears that were about to fall, raised his head and took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said: "Jade Sword Villa, within the Three Kingdoms, has long been notorious, and it is a cancer that everyone on the rivers and lakes wants to get rid of.
But this cancer was born in Sangyun Kingdom, and we can only produce it with the help of the power of the prince, so now that the prince is in trouble, how can Qingruo sit idly by? What's more, Xiuzhu and I are like sisters and brothers, so Qing Ruocai dared to enter the palace and pretend to be an aunt, and asked the monarch to forgive his sins! ”
The old monarch was silent for a long time, and then said with an uncertain expression: "You get up first!" ”
"Xie Guojun!"
"The prince has arrived!"
Chu Qingruo had just finished thanking the monarch and was about to stand up when he heard the eunuchs singing loudly outside the palace gate.
The old monarch took a deep look in the direction of the palace gate, and Chu Qingruo saw joy in his eyes, and his heart immediately understood.
After all, it is a deep relationship between father and son, and the old monarch should still look forward to Song Xiuzhu being able to accept him as a father from the bottom of his heart!
Her heart suddenly settled.
With Song Xiuzhu here, at least, the old monarch can listen to her explanation calmly!
"Father!"
As soon as Song Xiuzhu came in, he knelt down in front of the monarch, and eagerly tasted Chu Qingruo and explained: "Father, everything is the fault of the son-in-law, it is the son-in-law's idea, regardless of Qingruo's affairs!" ”
The old monarch looked at this face that was almost the same as when he was young, and couldn't help but think away again.
It wasn't until Song Xiuzhu anxiously shouted at him a few times that he came back to his senses.
"Ahem! Get up first! ”
The monarch felt sorry for this "frail" son who didn't know martial arts kneeling on the cold ground, so he coughed and said softly.
"But...... Father......
Song Xiuzhu wanted to say something, but suddenly saw Chu Qingruo's naturally drooping hand and quietly waved it at him.
Song Xiuzhu had no choice but to get up first and step aside.
The old monarch glanced up at Song Xiuzhu, and then returned his gaze to Chu Qingruo's body.
"Although what you say is extenuating, why should I believe your words?"
"The monarch is clear, someone may have deliberately concealed the truth from the monarch in this matter, but the prince knows it."
The monarch was slightly stunned, and looked at Song Xiuzhu again: "Why don't you say it?" ”
Song Xiu smiled bitterly: "If the son says it, will the father believe the words of the son?" ”
It's not that he doesn't want to say, he has one mouth, so many mouths for the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, who will the monarch believe? Besides, Mingzong didn't make a difficulty, how could he 2 make the monarch believe his words!
The more the old monarch listened, the more puzzled he became: "Why did such a big thing happen, and your emperor of Dayan didn't make a sound?" ”
Chu Qingruo said with confidence: "That's long live us, I believe that the lord of the Sang Yun country is a fair and honest monarch, and he will never use such despicable means to persecute the generals of neighboring countries." ”
"Then why did the general of Great Yan secretly come to our Sang Yun Kingdom?"
The old monarch's voice became more and more severe, and Song Xiuzhu on the side who was listening to it all pinched a cold sweat for Chu Qingruo.
If this question is not clear, the king will kill!
Chu Qingruo replied very calmly: "They came precisely for the Jade Sword Villa!" ”
The expression on the old monarch's face remained unchanged, but he raised his eyes slightly: "Oh? Is it? ”
