54. Pick a good one to be the emperor

While everyone was still stunned, Shen Yu took two steps forward from his knees, and said eagerly: "Father, when the sedan chair first arrived at the palace yesterday, the Chen family spoke wildly and got off the sedan chair by himself. In view of the fact that this move is very unusual, the son believes that Chen is suffering from hysteria and his words are reversed, and his words and deeds cannot be used as evidence for guilt, so please ask his father to investigate! ”

The farce in front of King Qing's Mansion yesterday was naturally known in the palace.

The emperor thought for a long time with a dark face, stared at Shen Yuli and asked, "You tell me the truth, is that slave there or not?" ”

Shen Yuli paused, lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Huanlin has been ordered to die by his father, and his sons know that his father is painstaking, and he does not dare to complain." ”

"You're lying!" Chen Lingwan shouted at the top of her voice, "That dog slave was obviously in the mansion yesterday, and he disappeared early this morning, and you just questioned me about his whereabouts in the middle of the road, slandering me and taking him away......"

Shen Yuli immediately asked: "Why, didn't I just think you were old and wanted to kill you in the middle of the road?" ”

Chen Lingwan was originally using crying as a weapon to win sympathy, but at this time, she was really full of grievances, but she couldn't cry for a while.

Shen Yuli didn't panic at all, he turned his head to look at her seriously, and he didn't mean to stop her from talking at all.

Obviously, both of them told a bunch of lies, and the fight at this time is who plays more like the truth.

Chen Lingwan froze and raised her head: "Your Majesty, the courtiers don't know how long that slave has been hiding in the Qingwang Mansion, but he was there last night!" This matter is well known in the palace, please Your Majesty to investigate! ”

The emperor tugged at his beard and muttered.

Ye Guifei frowned slightly, looking embarrassed: "It stands to reason that this matter is not difficult to investigate." It's just that...... The execution of Huanlin was an errand that Yu Lin Wei did at the behest of His Majesty at that time, and it stands to reason that there should be no mistake......"

"That's not necessarily," Lin Cairen lowered his head and played with his fingers, and said leisurely: "Recently, His Royal Highness King Qing has been in the limelight, and Zhao Taifu, Qin Shangshu, Liu Shilang, Gu Shilang, and Zhang Yushi in the court...... So many people are vying to say good things for him, what's so strange about our Yu Linwei secretly selling personal favors to him? ”

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face visibly became more and more gloomy with the naked eye.

Shen Yuli glanced up and sneered: "Lin Cairen knows a lot about the affairs of the court." ”

"That's it!" The emperor slapped the table with a black face and interrupted the dispute in the hall: "What is the noisy and noisy thing about!" Xiao Changzi, you take someone to Qingwangfu to inquire about the whereabouts of the forest! Before finding out, the four princes were grounded to listen to Shui Xuan and were not allowed to return home! Chen, go back to your parents' house first! ”

Chen Lingwan hurriedly kowtowed to thank her, but Ye Guifei added leisurely: "Remember to ask a doctor to come over to see the disease, hysteria is not a trivial matter, don't shy away from the doctor." ”

"Mother, I'm not sick!" Chen Lingwan was so aggrieved that she burst into tears again.

Ye Guifei didn't argue with her about whether she was sick or not, she just looked at her with pity, and it was clear that she was looking at a fool.

The corners of Lin Cairen's mouth twitched as if he wanted to say something, but Ye Guifei turned her head and glanced at her lightly. Timid and soft, but somehow scared Lin Cairen's words back.

Chen Lingwan was anxious: "Your Majesty, Concubine Niangniang, I really don't have ......"

"Miss Chen," Shen Yuli suddenly cut off her words, "I just got married and got into trouble, so it can be seen that you and I really have no chance." The king did not enter the new house last night, and it is not considered to have tarnished your reputation, so it is better for you to return to the prime minister's mansion this time and bring the dowry back by the way, even if the father and the emperor agree to your request, we will be allowed to leave. ”

Chen Lingwan looked up at him with a stunned expression.

She should have been happy.

Because it is obvious that Shen Yuli's situation at the moment is already very bad. As long as Xiao Changzi and the others find evidence that Huan Lin had hidden in the palace, Shen Yuli will be charged with several big crimes, and it is likely that he will completely lose his favor with the emperor.

In this situation, it is really good to be smooth and detached.

However, at this time, Chen Lingwan suddenly felt a little reluctant in her heart. Or rather, uneasy.

Because, "hysteria".

If rumors such as "Miss Chen Liu has hysteria" or even "Miss Chen Liu was abandoned by King Qing because of hysteria" spread, everything she expected later would come to naught. If that's the case, what is she tossing this scene for today?

"No, no!" Chen Lingwan blurted out, "I'm not separating!" ”

Shen Yuli let out a low sneer and looked at her mockingly.

Chen Lingwan noticed the inquiring and surprised eyes in the hall, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

She began to realize that she was in a desperate situation. She and King Qing have completely turned against each other, and it is impossible to have a good ending. "Harmony" is what she said, and it makes no sense to regret it at this time.

For the sake of today's plan, there is only one way to go to the dark, and there is a way out.

Thinking of this, Chen Lingwan raised her head and changed her words: "Since King Qing intends to reconcile, the courtiers naturally have nothing to disobey. ”

While speaking, he secretly made up his mind: go back and try to ask the second prince for help, and find the dog slave around the forest at all costs!

As long as King Qing's charge of bullying the monarch is confirmed, she still has a way to save her reputation as "hysteria". Moreover, as long as the second prince believes her, she will still have a chance!

At this point, the matter is over, Lin Cairen showed a trace of regret on his face, and sighed: "Alas, a good marriage, how can it be ......?"

"You're pretty much up and down!" The emperor slammed a tea bowl at her, "Good things don't have you, bad things always have you fanning the flames!" Go back to your palace, and don't come out again!" ”

Lin Cairen was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding how this fire had burned on her body.

There was no one to answer her questions. The emperor left with a stomach full of anger, and the rest of the concubines and princesses also made excuses to disperse, and even the noble nineteenth princess did not give Lin Cairen a second look.

Shen Yuli gave a shallow salute to Ye Guifei, got up calmly and went straight back to Shui Xuan, and did not say a word to any of the guards or eunuchs during this time.

Someone was staring at him.

The emperor was suspicious, and no matter who he communicated with, it could become evidence of his collusion with outsiders in the future.

So Shen Yuli could only behave calmly.

It's just that, looking at the two little eunuchs who came out of Tingshuixuan's door, he still inevitably felt a burst of irritability in his heart.

The news of the existence of the forest is not allowed to be known to outsiders, this is what the palace has instructed early on.

However, this group of eunuchs and maidservants were all allocated to him by the palace at the beginning of the establishment of the palace, and their character and temperament have not yet been figured out, and the degree of reliability can be imagined.

What's even more worrying is that if the wood is just at this time, they will find the forest back......

No matter how you think about it, this game is almost a must-lose.

But annoying, Shen Yuli didn't feel that the catastrophe was coming. He has a thick skin and a dark heart, and even in a desperate situation, he can usually find a way to survive for himself.

It's a big deal to start with Hanako again, and he is not scared!

……

The news of Qingwangfu's welcoming relatives yesterday and leaving today spread throughout the city in just a few hours, and it has become the biggest topic of conversation among the people of Kyoto after tea and dinner.

But this "whole city" does not include the abandoned courtyard not far from the east city gate.

Outside the gate of the small courtyard hung a large rusty lock, which had not been opened for at least a few years. The crooked courtyard wall collapsed to a corner, and was refilled by the weeds that grew in the courtyard.

Looking at such a small courtyard, no one would have thought that the house inside was actually quite clean. A little girl with pink makeup sat under the window, wearing a dusty cloak, with tears in her eyes, aggrieved.

Opposite her was a young man in white, with the corners of his eyes raised, an evil face, and he spoke fiercely: "...... I'm not a female sparrow, can I still take your rotten egg in my mouth? Of course, you came with me of your own free will! Who said last night that Shen Yuli would kill you sooner or later if he married that little cub and married the princess, begging me to take you here? Why do you regret it now, and you have to rely on me? ”

Of course, this young man is the cat demon Xue Yulang. The little sparrow opposite him wiped the corners of his eyes around the forest, both aggrieved and confused: "I don't remember any of these things you said!" I only remember that Shen Yuli made me kneel on the steps, and then I was here! You're a very bad person, who knows if you kidnapped me! ”

"Phew!" Xue Yulang smacked her, "What am I kidnapping you for?" It's not tasty, it's not fun! Wouldn't it be good for me to go to the imperial dining room to kidnap a fish? ”

"Here's the problem!" Huan Lin jumped up, "You Xue Yulang has never been kind, I don't believe that you will 'rescue' me from the palace!" ”

"You say I've never been kind?" Xue Yulang was so angry with her that she choked, "When did you have an accident, didn't I save you?" Is that little cub good for you with me? He will only treat you as a slave, and he will throw you out to make his wife angry! ”

"No, it won't!" Huan Lin immediately jumped to his feet and retorted.

Xue Yulang sneered, didn't bother to argue with her, got up and slammed the door and walked out.

Huanlin looked at the tightly closed doors and windows, and stomped his feet angrily: "Hey, you let me out!" ”

"You're going to see that little, don't think about it!" A cold young voice came from far outside the window.

After that, there was no movement.

After walking around the house a few times, he found that the sealing of this small broken house was actually excellent, the windows were nailed from the outside, and the doors were not as strong as words, as if they were specially designed to close people.

Of course, no matter how strict the doors and windows are, they can't stop her, but if she wants to escape, she still has to wait until it gets dark, and she still has a whole afternoon to stay up.

The little sparrow was very angry, and circled the table about twenty times in one breath, scolding the cat more than two hundred times in the process.

After scolding, you still have to think about countermeasures. This morning, Xue Yulang told her hundreds of reasons why she couldn't live in the palace, and although she refuted them one by one at that time, she still couldn't help muttering a little in her heart.

After all, it's a matter of life.

According to Xue Yulang, Shen Yuli will not only hand her over to Chen Lingwan to be angry, but also may beat her, scold her, and pick her skin and pull her tendons because of Chen Lingwan's slander......

Huan Lin didn't believe it, and he also felt that Shen Yuli was very miserable being managed by his daughter-in-law now.

Because his wife knew at a glance that she wasn't a good stubble!

She must go back, the only thing she needs to consider is, what will happen if this matter reaches the ears of the emperor?

The emperor wanted to kill her, Shen Yuli had already said this, but Huan Lin only remembered it after Xue Yulang's repeated reminders today.

So, do you want to avoid the emperor?

I had to go to Shen Yuli again, and I couldn't let the emperor know, so I thought about it around the forest, and I felt that there was no way to think about it.

The little eunuch went around the forest and must die.

- But the little girl can live around the forest!

The little monster who can transform is not scared, and if you can't solve it, then solve the identity of the troublemaker!

However, this is not a long-term solution.

As long as the emperor is there, Shen Yuli is not free after all, and the hanged ghosts and decapitated ghosts in the palace will never be able to solve so many troubles.

It's not an option.

After thinking about it, he decided to go back and discuss it with Shen Yuli. Even if Shen Yuli really planned to harm her as Xue Yulang said, she couldn't ignore the big beauties and their affairs.

"Oh, what a heart...... "The little sparrow leaned against the door, sighing.

Who called her kind?

It was easy to stay up until dark, and she broke the window paper around the forest and escaped from the house in her original form, and then turned into a little girl and swaggered back to the palace.

When I got back, I realized that something was wrong.

Why is Shen Yuli not in the palace, and there are people in the palace patrolling fiercely around here, as if they want to take people?

The frightened bird around the forest immediately guessed that it was going to catch her, and caught a little sparrow to ask, and sure enough, it was so. After asking about the cause and effect, she didn't hesitate at all, and immediately rushed to Miyagi without stopping.

Shen Yuli and Chen Lingwan reconciled! Shen Yuli will not take her life to curry favor with Chen Lingwan! Xue Yulang is really a big liar!

So much has happened in just one day, and it's really unexpected.

For Huan Lin, the most critical point of these news is that Shen Yuli has been locked up!

How can this work? If something happened to Shen Yuli, wouldn't there be no hope at all to save the beauties?

The emperor is a disobedient person, and now he doesn't even have the old Taoist priest who pretends to be a ghost, the palace city will be bad sooner or later, the world will be chaotic sooner or later, those unjust souls still can't live in peace, or they can only be reincarnated as cats and sparrows again and again with the resentment of that life, and they will never be able to get out of that palace city!

Huan Lin herself doesn't know why, since the last time she suffered a loss at the hands of the great beauty, she gradually can't forget those things, while she is afraid of those unjust souls to death, but she can't help but worry about them.

She knew for a long time that many sparrows in the palace were incarnated by unjust souls, but she had never thought so much like she did now, and she didn't know what evil she had fallen into now!

Huanlin spurned himself all the way back to Miyagi, and broke in without hesitation.

As soon as I stood firm in the corner, I felt a chill on the back of my neck.

As soon as she turned around, she saw a big beauty sticking to the wall behind her.

Sure enough, no matter what she becomes, she will never be able to escape from the palm of these unjust souls!

This time, the big beauty was very angry, her eyes were full of fierce light, and the blood marks on her neck were like substance.

"You still dare to run." She looked at Huanlin gloomily, "I've got a long job!" ”

"Eldest sister, I'm not back!" Huan Lin raised his hands in obedience, with a bitter face: "I really didn't want to run!" I'm going out of the palace to help you figure it out! Didn't you say last time that you hoped that the world would be stable and that the people would not suffer from military disasters, such a big thing, I can't figure it out for a while, of course I have to go out of the palace to think about it for a few days......"

"You've been thinking about it for days, do you have an idea?" The big beauty asked.

Huan Lin nodded hurriedly: "There you have it!" Look, eldest sister, you can't get out of the palace now, if you want the people of the world to live well, you still have to rely on others! So, as long as there is a good emperor in the world, the problem you are worried about will be solved! ”

"Of course I know," the great beauty was not bluffed by her, "so you went out of the palace to find the good emperor?" Who are you looking for? As far as I know, the Chu clan has been slaughtered by the one surnamed Shen......"

"Do you have to find someone with the surname Chu?" Huan Lin puffed up his chest and asked her, "There is no suitable person with the surname Chu, if you would rather let the people suffer than be the emperor with the surname Chu, then don't say anything about caring for the people of the world, you only have the surname Chu in your heart!" ”

"You bastard!" The big beauty was furious, "The world belongs to the Chu family, of course you have to find someone with the surname Chu!" ”

Huan Lin took advantage of her unpreparedness to shrink into the flowers, and screamed: "Then you go to find a fool surnamed Chu to be the emperor, the world will only become more and more chaotic, and the people will only hate the surname Chu more and more!" In another ten or twenty years, no one in the world will remember the surname Chu! ”

Before she finished speaking, she had already gotten behind the flowers, but the big beauty flashed after her and asked in her ear, "You mean...... Is the Chu clan gone? Running out of gas? ”

Huan Lin didn't fully understand her words, nodded in confusion, and said, "The qi is exhausted!" ”

The big beauty looked sad, as if she was stunned, but she was holding around the forest and not allowing her to go.

After being so stiff for a long time, I was about to cry in fright around the forest, but I heard the big beauty muttering, "What should you do?" ”

Huan Lin originally thought that he was going to suffer, but suddenly heard the tone of the great beauty being so soft, he was stunned for a moment, and then cautiously tested: "It's better to ...... Regardless of the Chu family, just the people? ”

"Humph!" The big beauty's face stretched again, "Speaking of which, you still don't want to do anything!" You just accept it, and you would rather the people of the world and our Chu family be trampled under the feet of that husband surnamed Shen - I will still kill you happily! ”

"Don't, don't!" Huan Lin was so frightened that he hugged his head and shouted, "I'm not talking about the emperor who kills people at every turn!" I'm talking about his son...... Let's choose a good one from among his sons to be the emperor, so that we don't have to fight anymore, and we can be good to the people? ”

The big beauty didn't think so, and floated around the corner, looking like she would burst out and kill at any time: "That old thief's son, how can there be anything good?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Huan Lin was so anxious that he shouted, "There is a person who is 10,000 times better than the old thief you said!" Although he is the son of the old thief, the old thief doesn't like him, and has already grounded him in Tingshui Xuan, maybe he will kill him at any time! ”

"Really?" The big beauty was a little stunned, and then she pondered for a long time, and hesitated: "Most of the old thieves want to kill are good people." ”

Huanlin nodded frantically.
