Chapter 89: True and False Princesses
Seeing Hua Qian coming in, everyone looked at Hua Qian in unison.
The gaze is deep and shallow, and the meaning is all-encompassing.
Shen Ye chuckled in his heart, frowning almost instantly, he looked at Hua Qian worriedly, not knowing how to remind his junior sister, after all, even he didn't know what was going on.
But one thing is clear: something big is going to happen today. Empress Wen and Liu Ruyue used to be "good sisters" in the fight of life and death, which time was not present at the same time, you didn't come and go, you never lived in peace, and today they are so harmonious, it is really weird.
Moreover, this is the first time that Liu Ruyue has appeared in front of people after being demoted.
Could it be that Liu Ruyue had some conspiracy and decided to make a comeback?
Of course, for Shen Ye's mental activities, Xue Jinian had completely different opinions.
With Liu Ruyue's current embarrassing identity, if there was no Empress Wen's cooperation, it would be difficult for her to even see His Majesty the Emperor.
So......
- Liu Ruyue and Wen Wan have joined forces!
Calculating the time, from the fact that he seemed to have rejected Liu Ruyue's summons so many times, he knew that sooner or later there would be such a day. Empress Wen thought that he would die by any means, and it would not be too long before she united with Liu Ruyue, a stupid woman.
He breathed a sigh of relief silently in his heart, fortunately, Empress Wen was not Hua Qian's biological mother, otherwise today, he would have a lot of scruples.
Ever since he entered the temple and saluted, all the people had different expressions. Liu Ruyue's gaze on him was vicious and proud; Empress Wen was always indifferent, with occasional flashes of disgust in her eyes; Emperor Xuantong looked angry and waved his hand at him, but he didn't say anything.
Xue Jinian knew that they were waiting, waiting for a key person.
He lowered his eyelashes slightly, and stood quietly under his head, until he heard Mei Youde's announcement, and then looked up at Hua Qian.
She obviously didn't know anything, but her eyes were clear, and after sweeping the audience without a trace, she saluted the ascending Emperor Xuantong.
Emperor Xuantong said in a deep voice: "Changning, do you know what I asked you to come?" ”
Hua Qian looked up blankly: "Erchen doesn't know." ”
Emperor Xuantong didn't talk nonsense: "Now that the personnel have arrived, that's the case, Concubine Liu, come on." ”
Liu Ruyue hadn't been so proud for a long time. There was a crazy glint in her eyes: "Yes." ”
She moved the lotus step lightly and slowly approached Xue Jinian, the corners of her lips lifted, reflecting boundless hatred.
Staring at Xue Jinian, the pleasure of revenge flashed in her heart, and she said word by word: "This palace came today to reveal something to everyone. This Princess Changning is fake! ”
As soon as these words came out, the four seats were shocked, and their reactions were different.
First of all, Shen Ye, his brows jumped, and his face turned pale in an instant. Fortunately, he is not the protagonist of today, but no one notices him.
The second is Hua Qian, what she has been worried about was suddenly exposed, and she almost subconsciously trembled. But she knew that now was not the time for her heart to be weak, so that although she was already scared to death in her heart, her face was innocent and blank: "You, what did you say?" ”
Her eyes fell on Liu Ruyue, she didn't float to Xue Jinian at all, the field was full of human spirits, she couldn't implicate Xue Jinian with a trace of mistakes.
It's been a smooth year, and although there have been occasional turmoil, it's generally smooth. She didn't know why Xue Jinian took such a big risk to lure her into the palace, she didn't dare to ask because of her identity before, but then she forgot to ask because she had an identity. It was only at this time that Hua Qian realized that she had never checked with Xue Jinian, how to cooperate once her identity was exposed?
She was really carried away by love, and these days she was thinking about how to persuade Xue Jinian to give up her power and go into hiding with her, but she didn't even pay attention to such a big thing!
Now that things are coming suddenly, Hua Qian is panicked, so he can only adapt to the situation.
She didn't know how Xue Jinian coped, so she could only dutifully play the role of a real princess and react when she was framed. As long as Xue Jinian doesn't identify her, even if she dies today, she is sure that she is the real Princess Changning.
At least, at least like this, after the real interrogation, Xue Jinian will at most be charged with an unclear account, and the punishment should be much lighter than the crime of bullying the king.
She can't wash it herself, and she can save one by one.
Liu Ruyue looked at her contemptuously and said with a smile: "What? Don't dare to admit it? Xue Jinian personally confirmed to the palace that you are just a pawn he found from outside the palace to deceive the queen! ”
On a sunny day, the split flower shallow feet were unstable, and he took a step back slightly.
The blood on her face suddenly faded, and she finally looked in the direction of Xue Jinian in disbelief.
- This stupid eunuch to death, how dare you share such a big thing with others?!
Liu Ruyue smiled proudly.
Xue Jinian's heart trembled, he was not afraid of anything, he was only afraid that Hua Qian would be disappointed in him. Receiving the shocked gaze cast by Hua Qian, Xue Jinian was suddenly anxious, and he didn't know how to explain it to her.
He heard her trembling question: "Admiral Xue, this palace thinks that it has no grudges with you, and this palace has been rescued by Lord Admiral many times all the way back to Beijing, and I am grateful." But why did you frame Hongu like this? If you don't like this palace, why did you try your best to save it in the first place, wouldn't it be better to let this palace die outside? ”qq
Xue Jinian raised his head, and the eyes of the two met for a very short time in the air, and then he replied loudly: "Princess Mingjian, the princess is the proud daughter of the golden branch and jade leaf sky, even if she gives Weichen Tianda, she doesn't dare to slander the princess like this." ”
Hua Qian wiped her tears and pointed at Liu Ruyue casually: "Then how did Concubine Liu say that you admitted it personally?" There is no respect at all, and it perfectly interprets the etiquette of a princess who has been wronged and is extremely demented.
Xue Jinian looked at Liu Ruyue from a kind stream: "Weichen doesn't know why Niangniang said this?" I am willing to ask my mother to tell me. ”
has no evidence, turns his face and doesn't admit it, what about Lai?
"You don't admit it? In the past, you lived like a dog in front of this palace, but now you feel that this palace is weak, and you dare to rebel. ”
"Niangniang is serious, Weichen, as the head of the East Factory, has always been only responsible to His Majesty. All the truths will only be confided to His Majesty. ”
"Then do you dare to identify this Princess Changning in front of Your Majesty?"
Xue Jinian glanced at the emperor: "Weichen is sure that Princess Changning is indeed the golden branch and jade leaf that the minister received from Tianguan Temple. ”
"You're lying!"
Liu Ruyue's face was so angry that her face turned pale, she didn't expect that Xue Jinian would dare to retract his confession in person, but it also confirmed what Emperor Wen said, he already had a heart of disobedience!
But she really didn't have any evidence, she couldn't prove it.
"Xue Jinian, you are so bold, you personally promised the palace that day, but now you turned your face and didn't recognize it, someone came, and pulled him down!" Liu Ruyue was so angry that she had long forgotten that she was not the former imperial concubine.
"Concubine Liu, everything needs to be evidence-based, Niangniang can turn over the clouds and rain and slander others at will with just one mouth, then I am a big man in the world, isn't it all boastful? Niangniang is in a high position, doesn't she have the consciousness to lead by example? Hua Qian looked heartbroken.
As soon as the two of them sang together, Liu Ruyue only felt that her chest was surging, and she was almost angry.
Queen Wen was silent, seeing Liu Ruyue's mouth open and closed, but she couldn't say anything, she knew that this stupid woman had fallen behind.
However, Liu Ruyue and Xue Jinian, the former master and servant, turned against each other, which made Queen Wen very happy.
Xue Jinian took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and arched his hand to Emperor Xuantong: "Your Majesty, Weichen ......"
"There is a person here in this palace, and I am willing to identify one or two." Empress Wen said slowly: "Come on, bring it." ”
Xue Jinian's brows jumped almost invisibly.
The door of the Heart Cultivation Hall was pushed open again, and a woman dressed in white followed behind the old woman with her head down, and walked straight to the hall.
It's Yin Yuli!
"Yin Yuli see Your Majesty, see the Queen Mother." She knelt on the spot excitedly, sobbing in her voice.
Yin is the surname of the Great Jin Kingdom, and it cannot be used by non-royal families.
Before Emperor Xuantong could speak, Princess Changle jumped out first: "What do you say your name is?" Yin Yuli? Nonsense, my imperial sister is Yin Yuli! ”
"Changle!" Empress Wen shouted, "Shut up! ”
Changle was very unconvinced, and his fingers almost poked Yin Yuli's head: "It's her who shut up!" Where did the imposter come from, who dared to use my imperial sister's name! ”
The kneeling girl trembled, then raised her head, faced Princess Changle, and said calmly: "Yin Yuli is my real name, you ask her, what is her real name?!" ”
Pointing towards Hua Qian, Yin Yuli's eyes were full of anger.
If she were a person, in the face of such a justified accusation, it is estimated that she would be suspicious, but Princess Changle was very direct: "You fart!" Then he blocked in front of Hua Qian, and didn't reply: "Sister Huang, don't be afraid, if this slut dares to talk nonsense, I will kill her immediately!" ”
Yin Yuli: "......"
Princess Changle's protection did not make Hua Qian relax, she stared at Yin Yuli tightly, her face was pale, almost stumbling, Xiaoyu, she is not dead?!
Yin Yuli didn't die, but there was a big scar on his face, which was burned in the fire at the Sifang Inn.
As for why she didn't die, among those present, I am afraid that only she and Queen Wen know it, and Queen Wen can keep her until today before she comes forward to identify her, and she must have her intentions. She just needs to cooperate, and the princess title is still hers!
She glanced at Empress Wen, her biological mother had not changed in any way because of her words. For more than a year, Empress Wen has hardly seen her, and Yin Yuli believes that Empress Wen is still suspicious of her identity, so she keeps her distance. It doesn't matter, as long as she passes today's level, she will be the righteous Princess Changning, and they will definitely be a pair of intimate mother and daughter!
Yes, facing Hua Qian, who took away her identity, Yin Yuli hated it to the bone. I don't want to know who proposed to let Hua Qian go with me in the first place? What kind of intention did you put forward this suggestion?
Several women have seen each other, and the quarrel made Emperor Xuantong's head big, and he asked Empress Wen with a gloomy face, "Who is she?" ”
Empress Wen bowed slightly: "Back to Your Majesty, a few days ago, the concubine heard that someone was making a lot of noise outside the palace gate, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the royal family without covering her mouth, so she was brought into the palace for careful interrogation." I didn't think about it, but I heard an incredible story. ”
"What's the story?"
"She said that she is the real Princess of Changning."
