56. It's a girl
Shen Yuli straightened up, tugged at Lin's sleeve, and shook his head.
Huan Lin pulled his sleeve back hard, smiled at the eyes of the full hall, and then turned to Shen Qingyue: "He! ”
Shen Qingyue was stunned, and also stretched out a finger to point at herself: "Me? ”
Huan Lin nodded and confirmed: "That's right, it's you, His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”
Shen Qingyue sneered: "Huanlin, don't make such a joke." I have never had a grudge with my fourth brother, but Su Ri is not very close, so I may not be able to withstand provocation and suspicion. ”
His face did not show any panic from beginning to end, only a little helplessness was added to the usual cold and bland, and it was clear that Dang Huanlin was a child who was not light or heavy.
Seeing this, the ministers' initial shock and resentment gradually eased a little, and each of them had some doubts.
The second prince really doesn't look like a person who can do such a thing!
The emperor didn't believe it either, so angry that his eyebrows were raised, and his beard was straightened: "Bastard thing!" You dare to accuse my son, I will have someone cut you off! ”
Shen Qingyue bowed to the emperor and begged for help: "Please calm your anger." This kid can defend the fourth brother, which shows that he is very smart and a usable talent. Please forgive him the death penalty. ”
Huan Lin turned his head and smiled at him, and saluted: "Thank you, Second Highness, for interceding for me." I just said that you are behind the scenes, this sentence - there is really no adulteration at all, if there is slander, I am willing to be punished with a thousand knives! ”
By the end, she straightened up, and the smile on her face was gone.
Shen Qingyue also straightened her waist, her extremely delicate face was tense, obviously trying her best to endure her anger, and she no longer had the calm and calm she had before.
One can imagine how aggrieved he felt in his heart.
The emperor was so angry that he walked around the dragon case: "It's you bastard again, you make chickens and dogs jump every time!" I should have killed you! ”
"That's what I'm going to say," Circling Lin raised his head, "Your Majesty, I can reveal to you the true face of His Second Highness, but I have one condition - after the truth of everything is revealed, please spare my life!" I don't want to be chased and run around anymore! ”
The emperor was so angry with her that he couldn't help but be even more angry when he heard the words: "Don't you think about it! You shameless bastard, leading my son not to learn well, and doing all that nonsense! If I don't kill you, I don't know what kind of scourge you will do to my son! ”
Huan Lin was not frightened by his anger, but took two steps forward, his eyes flashing: "So Your Majesty, if I didn't harm your son, wouldn't I have to die?" ”
The Emperor glared and did not answer.
Huan Lin still turned his head to face the ministers, squinted his eyes and smiled like a cat: "I know that you all scold me in your hearts, you all secretly say that King Qing is good Longyang, and I caused him not to learn well......"
Immediately, a jumbled cough rang out in the hall. Those two words are clearly burning their ears, but they make these people make it as if they are burning their throats.
Huan Lin lowered his head and winked at Shen Yuli, and smiled even deeper: "I said that this is really a false injustice that fell from the sky!" Your Royal Highness is a little fool, you haven't even seen that I'm a girl for so long, what kind of person is he good at Longyang? How did I make him not learn well? ”
Girl? What a girl?!
The ministers looked at each other in amazement, and the emperor's eyes widened.
Shen Yuli also straightened up, his face was full of astonishment, and his eyes widened.
Huan Lin laughed: "I knew you would be this expression!" How's that, didn't expect it? You always think I'm like a girl, why don't you think I might really be a girl? ”
Shen Yuli stared at her for a long time, the look of shock on his face eased slightly, and his brows furrowed: "Above the court, don't mess around." ”
Huan Lin grimaced at him, and then looked at the emperor: "Hey, you saw it!" I didn't lead your son to be a good Longyang, and I didn't have that...... Filthy harem! So I don't have to die? ”
"If you are really a girl, you will die for the crime of bullying the king!" The emperor's face darkened.
Huan Lin shrank his neck in fright, and retreated with his hands: "Since you are going to die horizontally and vertically, then I won't speak!" Let the Fourth Highness continue to be wronged! Let His Royal Highness continue to get away with it! Let your sons continue to be killed by the bad guys one by one! ”
The Emperor angrily kicked the incense burner, turned back and sat down, and shouted angrily: "Bastard thing! The court got you to bargain with Lao Tzu in the last round? Say! ”
The incense burner staggered and staggered, and finally collapsed with a loud bang.
Huan Lin jumped up and jumped back in fright, fell to the ground and staggered, then forcibly controlled his expression and said solemnly: "Oh." ”
"Wait!" Shen Qingyue suddenly shouted, and then bowed down to salute the emperor: "Father, it is about the innocence of Erchen and the fourth brother, and Erchen thinks it is better to be cautious." Before this minion opens his mouth to make up the story, Erchen hopes that someone will come to verify his identity first-whether he is a eunuch or a woman, you can't just listen to his mouth, right? ”
The second prince is afraid that it is the first time in his life that he is so aggressive, and he is obviously angry.
Or, in Huan Lin's opinion, he was panicked.
The little sparrow grinned and looked at him defiantly: "If it is confirmed that I am indeed a woman, will you confess?" ”
Shen Qingyue looked away and refused to answer, only said, "You can say it after you have checked it first!" ”
Chen Wenqi and the others also came back to their senses at this time, and hurriedly echoed it, repeatedly asking Huanlin to verify his body before speaking.
So the emperor pointed to Xiao Changzi: "You take that slave to the side hall......"
"He can't!" Huan Lin immediately jumped up and objected, "Your Majesty, I'm a woman!" You call a eunuch to examine me...... Even if the eunuch is not a man, then I feel awkward! What's more, Father-in-law Chang is still so ugly! ”
Xiao Changzi was so angry that his neck was blue.
The emperor only felt that Huanlin was too verbose, and was a little impatient to listen to her.
However, Shen Qingyue was still a little patient, and pointed to the mother-in-law behind her: "How about letting my Mama Fan and Mama Kang of the fifth brother come to test?" If you can't trust the two of them, you can let Xiao Changzi supervise them. ”
"I said, Xiao Changzi is ugly! No way! "Wrap up on this point.
The emperor was really annoyed, and angrily ordered Xiao Anzi, another little eunuch next to him: "You go!" ”
Go around the forest to see how good this little Anzi looks, and finally reluctantly agreed.
The monarchs and ministers in the palace actually breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
A quarter of an hour later, Huan Lin walked back from the side hall with two grandmothers and a eunuch, pulling his face and looking like he had been greatly wronged.
It was rare for Shen Yuli to have the patience to observe him so carefully. I vaguely remember that the last time I looked at it carefully was the day I first met, this kid was ashamed to praise himself for his good looks.
Well, now I look at it again, it is still white and cute, the chin is a little rounder than before, the tip of the nose is still upright, and the eyes are big and bright, as if hiding the starry sky......
She really looks like a good-looking girl. So why didn't he think in this direction before?
Shen Yuli was puzzled, and he heard Shen Qingyue's voice in his ears and asked urgently, "How is it?" ”
Mama Fan's eyes flashed slightly, and she was about to speak first, when Xiao Anzi had already spoken: "It has been tested, and it is confirmed-"
"Uh-huh!" Xiao Changzi snorted heavily.
Xiao Anzi was so frightened that he knelt down: "Father-in-law Chang spares his life, Father-in-law Chang spares his life!" I always remember what you said, but I can't hide it now! Even if the minion listened to your words and lied, he still had to take a physical examination after he was killed, and the truth could not be hidden at that time......"
"What a mess!" The emperor was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, "If you let you speak, you will tell the truth, what are you kowtowing to Xiao Changzi?" ”
The hall was silent for a moment, and Shen Yuli said in a low voice: "Xiao Anzi is scared like this, I'm afraid there is something hidden, right?" ”
The emperor slapped the table: "Say!" ”
Xiao Changzi was so frightened that he knelt down, but Xiao Anzi had already rushed to cry: "The slave should die...... Gonggong Chang instructs us to be clever in our daily work, and to help His Royal Highness in everything, which will inevitably benefit in the future...... The slave should have replied truthfully about the matter of circling the forest, but Gonggong Chang deliberately coughed at the minion, clearly reminding the slave not to forget his instructions...... Your Majesty, the minions don't dare to lie! ”
"Your Majesty, he is talking nonsense, I don't!" Xiao Changzi was anxious.
Xiao Anzi was more anxious than him, raised his head and stalked to him: "You have!" In the past, you were from the side of the Third Highness, but then the Third Highness fell into the water and couldn't do it, so you immediately fell to the Second Highness, and secretly instructed the imperial doctor who treated the Third Highness not to be careful, so the Third Highness would go so fast...... A while ago, Qian Zhaorong had an accident, that is, you passed the news to His Royal Highness every day, taught him not to act rashly, and taught him to deliberately cry by the well fence when His Majesty missed Qian Zhaorong during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which caused His Majesty to feel compassion......"
"Enough!" The Emperor roared, "Wow, you are all ...... Do you think Lao Tzu is a fool and coax to play?! ”
"Father!" Shen Qingyue knelt on the ground and stepped forward, "What Grandpa An said is indeed true. But the son's desire to please his father was not out of malice, but he felt that his father was affectionate, and it was inevitable that he would miss his mother after he went, so he asked Gonggong Chang for more news, in order to find an opportunity to take his two younger brothers to accompany his father and comfort each other......"
"That's it!" The emperor interrupted him with an impatient wave of his hand: "It's easy to admit it!" Xiao Changzi, as my personal attendant, colluded with the prince and plotted against him, dragged him down and beat him to death! ”
The emperor is worthy of his military background, and he prefers to kill people with sticks, which is both simple and painful.
Xiao Changzi was still waiting to be defended, and there were already guards next to him who stepped forward to make a move. He has offended many people with his prowess, and there is not even a person who speaks for him at this time. The eunuchs in the palace exchanged a few glances with each other, and they all faintly rejoiced.
After disposing of one person, the temple was quiet for a while. Xiao Anzi finally got free, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, Mama Fan and Mama Kang have passed the test, and they will go around the forest...... She is indeed a girl, not a eunuch. ”
Everyone had already guessed this answer, and they were not surprised when they heard this, but they looked at Shen Qingyue with suspicion.
Only Shen Yuli's face was red and blue for a while, his eyes were a little hot, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Huan Lin took his eyes off him and glared at Shen Qingyue with a cold snort: "Hey, do you hear me?" What else do you have to say? ”
Shen Qingyue looked at Mama Fan, who shook her head at her and sighed to indicate that there was nothing she could do.
As a result, the eyes of the full hall became tighter and tighter, and Shen Qingyue's always conceited expression management faintly showed some signs of collapse.
"Around the forest," he said in a deep voice, "you are a woman, why are you pretending to be a eunuch and mixing around the fourth brother?" Who arranged for you to enter the palace? What is the intention? ”
It's about to be the first to ask for guilt.
In the darkness of the corner, a red shadow that no one else could see floated in, and said something quickly to the forest. Huan Lin sneered, still arrogant: "Who arranged for me to enter the palace?" Second Highness, when I entered the palace, you were still herding sheep on the northern border of the desert! I was born in Miyagi and grew up in Miyagi, the emperor of the previous dynasty didn't care about me, and the emperor of this dynasty didn't care about me, but you took care of me? ”
Shen Qingyue was blocked by her and was speechless for a while.
After the emperor of this dynasty occupied the palace city, he did not expel all the palace maids and eunuchs of the previous dynasty, after all, it was a large number of tens of thousands.
He just killed the people close to the palace of the emperor and the concubine of the previous dynasty and exiled him, and the rest of the inconsequential little palace maids and eunuchs still kept the call, and it is indeed possible that there will be something like Huanlin that has been forgotten and even has a troubled origin.
As for saying "born in the palace and raised in the palace", everyone didn't think much about it, just thought that the little girl was bragging.
Only the children of the emperor can be "born and raised in the palace". When the emperor of this dynasty took this palace city, the little dolls of the Chu family had already died cleanly, and there was no one left, which the emperor and courtiers were very sure of.
Therefore, Shen Qingyue glared angrily at Huanlin, and only said coldly: "Since you are an old servant of the previous dynasty, you shouldn't have such an absurd thing!" Since the reign of this dynasty, the special envoys have re-made and rearranged the palace attendants who are unwilling to leave the palace, where were you at that time? ”
Huan Lin looked at the corner of the wall, and replied to him coldly with a stiff neck: "I was sick at that time!" I'm lying in the nest...... I can't move in the house, so I want to come out and register and make a mess to eat, but I have to crawl to do it! ”
Shen Qingyue still wanted to say something, but Huanlin jumped to his feet and shouted: "You have no end, there is no serious sentence in asking questions!" Am I the master of your school, do I have to answer all my questions? Am I your upbringing, and I'm going to answer you a million whys? Do you want me to sing you another lullaby? You're going to delay until this point, isn't it? You are not hungry yourself, Your Majesty and your lordships are still waiting to eat! When the hell are you going to get me down to business? ”
After going around in such a big circle, many people seem to have suddenly remembered what this scene is for. Immediately, an anxious official chased after him and asked: "In this case, you should explain first, His Royal Highness set up a bureau to frame King Qing, where is the evidence?" ”
Shen Qingyue calmed down a little, and immediately asked, "Yes, where is the evidence?" You can't say that I am the mastermind behind the scenes, and I will bear the name of mutilating my siblings! ”
Huan Lin didn't rush to answer this "where is the evidence", and asked first: "Now Your Majesty and your lords believe that King Qing is wronged?" ”
The emperor blew his beard and did not answer, and an old minister in the hall with a white beard and hair said in a deep voice: "Yes, all the previous credentials were forged, and it can be seen that the several charges referred to by Hu Zhongcheng are false; Since you are a woman, it no longer makes sense to say that 'King Qing behaves badly and is good at Longyang'. King Qing was innocently wronged, and his feelings were pitiful. ”
"Then you won't let him stand up?" Huan Lin immediately turned to the emperor.
The emperor glared and said impatiently: "He is young, and he can't be tired even if he kneels!" Don't you say it quickly, what are you rubbing? ”
There was no way around the forest, so he turned around and spread his hands helplessly to Shen Yuli, and then sat on the ground with a puff: "Actually-I know in my heart that His Royal Highness is a bad person, but I don't have any evidence in my hand!" If Your Majesty is angry, I will have to die! ”
Hey, it's a fool again?
The ministers didn't expect her to make such a move when the situation was so good, and everyone was stunned.
Shen Qingyue laughed out loud: "You have no evidence, but you want to identify this prince as the mastermind behind the scenes?" Why? The seventh brother is out of the palace, the third brother is dead, and now it's my turn, who is next? ”
This is an allusion to Shen Yuli's mutilation of his siblings.
Most of the ministers in the palace could understand it, but they didn't understand it. She just sat cross-legged on the ground, stalked her neck and said, "I really can't get the evidence, because the evidence has been destroyed by you!" The little eunuch who helped you go to the palace to contact these things was called Xiao Linzi, who had 'accidentally' fallen into the well and drowned before dawn; there was an errand boy named Ah Guang in Chen Xiangye's mansion who was also an insider, the one who bullied other girls, but he had already left the city last night, and he should have run more than a hundred miles by this time; a few people heard the words you said with Miss Chen Liu in the middle of the road yesterday morning, but that was not any strong evidence, and there was no need to put it out at this time. - Therefore, you have done a very clean job, worthy of the title of 'Bright Wind and Moon', you really leave no trace like the wind, and hide like the moon! ”
"You!" Shen Qingyue laughed angrily at her, "I can't get a single evidence, and I scold people happily." If this is also evidence, can this prince say that Xiao Linzi was pushed into the well and drowned by you so that he could frame me? ”
"You don't have to divert the subject!" Huan Lin held his head high and did not show timidity, "I don't need to show evidence that you instructed someone to frame King Qing. I have come here today only to do two things: the first is to prove the innocence of King Qing, and the second is to prove that you are a liar, so that Your Majesty and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty can see your true colors! ”
Shen Qingyue nodded: "You have already done the first thing, and you have done it wonderfully." ”
"Thanks for the compliment!" Huanlin stood up again, "So now I'm going to do the second one!" ”
Shen Qingyue smiled patiently, as if she was coaxing an ignorant child: "But you don't have evidence, what should you do?" ”
"I don't have proof, you yourself are proof!" Huan Lin stretched out his hand to him, and in his loudest voice, he shouted: "Shen Qingyue, you, like me, are women who change their makeup!" You're not a prince, you're a princess! ”
