The emperor pushed the table away with a bang: "What did you say?!" ”
A group of beauties next to him also stood up, and everyone looked panicked and suspicious.
It is not uncommon for the emperor of this dynasty to pass on the jade seal of the country, but the people of the world believe in this. However, when Kyoto was captured in the winter of the previous year, the emperor of the previous dynasty had led dozens of concubines and children to hang themselves in the Taihe Palace, and the jade seal of the country has disappeared since then.
For this reason, the world's famous scholars and Confucians still regard the kings of this dynasty as thieves to this day, and almost every month, one or two literati who were tied up to be officials crashed to death on the pillars of the court, which made the emperor angry and helpless.
What's the whereabouts of that thing now?
Countless eyes fell on Shen Yuli and Huan Lin.
The concubine breathed a sigh of relief, with an angry look on her face, and her voice seemed to be more confident: "Your Majesty, the deserted garden behind has been empty, and the soldiers will inevitably take it lightly when searching!" The four princes and this slave can't live in so many palaces, and they want to sneak around in that kind of place, and there must be a reason for it......"
Before she could finish speaking, Huan Lin jumped up angrily again: "Hey, why don't you make drafts when you speak?" Gourds grow in the wheat fields, tigers are planted in the lotus ponds, what do you say? Then I also said that there is the queen's phoenix crown hidden under the bed in your bedroom, the emperor's private seal is buried in the kitchen stove, and you secretly imitate the emperor's handwriting and write a lot of strange words and paper, which can not be burned every day! ”
"You! Nonsense! The concubine didn't wait to finish listening, she was so anxious that she screamed, and her voice burst out.
Helplessly, the voice around the forest was loud and crisp and couldn't be interrupted, but the concubine was so anxious that her face was red, and beads of sweat rolled down.
The beauty in the yellow shirt raised her head, her face was pale, and she looked frightened: "Your Majesty, the concubine has indeed seen the concubine's sister lighting a brazier in the house to burn paper, should it be ......?"
Shen Yuli glared at Huan Lin and reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense!" The concubine likes calligraphy, what is the big deal about imitating her father's handwriting? She can't write an edict for her father to pass on the throne to the third brother! ”
As soon as these words came out, the emperor was the first to explode, and the entire hall trembled three times with a roar: "Search!" Go search for me! Search Fengyi Palace! ”
The concubine was frightened and hurriedly rushed forward and pulled the corner of the emperor's clothes and begged. The emperor kicked her out of the way, stared at Shen Yuli twice, and added: "The residence of the fourth prince should also be searched!" Dig three feet into the ground, and dig the ant hole for Lao Tzu to take a look! ”
The stakes were very high, Yu Linwei suddenly agreed, and immediately rushed out of the door to dispatch troops, and the palace was suddenly busy.
It was useless for the concubine to cry out and plead, but she was gagged and pressed to the ground, so she could only tilt her head and stare at Huanlin with all her might, as if she was about to spew fire in her eyes.
Huan Lin sat on the ground with an innocent face, but it was rare that there was no noise, only staring at the sparrows outside the window.
Later, she was probably so bored that she began to learn the call of sparrows, and chirped and had fun. Everyone in the hall had their own thoughts, and no one came to scold her for a long time, but the little princess of four or five years old looked interesting, and ran to her to learn to chirp.
Under the eaves, sparrows flew wildly and made a noise.
After waiting for half an hour, two batches of Yu Linwei came back with their front and back feet.
The team that searched the Fengyi Palace brought back the phoenix crown, the emperor's handprint that had been lost months ago, a pile of paper, and three little people with needles pierced.
The emperor only looked at the phoenix crown, and without looking at the rest of the things, he brushed it off to the ground, gritted his teeth and said the word "chop".
The concubine bit her handkerchief and cried and shook her head, but it was useless.
Privately possessing the phoenix crown and committing a capital crime; stealing the emperor's handstamp in an attempt to commit misdeeds, a capital crime; Practicing witchcraft in the palace is a capital crime.
Several crimes are punished together, and she is not unjust if she dies ten times. At this time, the concubine only hoped that the emperor would look at her less, and not suddenly think of her family, and then the three clans and so on.
Also, her son......
Before the concubine had time to figure it out, Yu Linwei had unceremoniously dragged her out of the threshold, and only the sound of crying and not crying continued to come in.
The Emperor did not lift his head, but looked at the other pile of things on the table.
Three moldy steamed buns, a broken clay pot, a polished stick, and two torn linen clothes.
Yu Linwei said on the side: "Your Majesty, the residence of the four princes is simply furnished, and they have been searched several times inside and out, and there is no trace of the jade seal!" ”
They don't have to explain it. There are so many appalling things found in Fengyi Palace, everyone already knows that the concubine is plotting against her, so naturally no one will take her words seriously.
There was an eerie silence in the hall, and then the yellow-shirted beauty suddenly cried: "What kind of days have the four highnesses lived all these years......
Before she finished crying, Huan Lin immediately picked up the words with a crying voice: "It's always been like this!" In this way, the three princes and the five princes have to fight every three or five times! That day, I went to steal a bun with great difficulty, but I didn't expect that the gang in the imperial dining room went to complain to the third prince in a blink of an eye, causing our Royal Highness to be beaten again...... If you don't believe it, look at Your Highness's face, the wound is not healed! ”
The beauty in the yellow shirt cried even more when she heard this, and the rest of the women also sighed.
Only the emperor's face was still ugly, and he said stiffly: "If he is beaten, he has no ability, and he is still waiting for me to praise him!" ”
Huan Lin couldn't answer this sentence, and stared at him aggrievedly.
The beauty in the yellow shirt suddenly stepped forward slowly, knelt down with both hands on the hem of the emperor's clothes, and raised her head and wept: "Your Majesty, now it seems that the Fourth Highness is not ignorant may not be because of his stubborn nature, but because of his ...... Because some people are cruel and have not been bred with their hearts. The concubine is brave and begs His Majesty to arrange an adoptive mother for His Royal Highness, so that she can teach! ”
Huan Lin muttered beside him: "I don't have anything to eat, raise a ghost!" ”
The emperor's face was black and red, his beard trembled, and he was clearly angry. Everyone in the hall sweated for the yellow-shirted beauty.
Thankfully, Thunder's Fury didn't happen. The emperor stared at the moldy steamed buns for a long time, and finally said in a rough voice: "Since you speak for him in every way, he will be your son from now on." The Chu family is dead, you take care of the affairs in the palace first, and you are not allowed to give me any more moths! ”
The beauty in the yellow shirt hurriedly raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, and bowed down with a smile: "The concubine obeys the order!" ”
Then he got up and looked at Shen Yuli: "Fourth Highness, ...... future"
Shen Yuli avoided to the side for a moment, and looked up at the emperor: "Father, the son doesn't want to recognize Ye Jieyu as his mother!" ”
The emperor frowned, picked up the wooden stick and slammed it twice on the table, and his voice was like thunder: "Then what do you want?" Crown Prince?! ”
Shen Yuli lowered his head slightly to avoid Tianwei, but his back became more and more straight: "I think, read!" ”
