Chapter 409: Unscrupulous Selfishness?
Xilingyue remembered the top priority at this time, and hurriedly said goodbye to her, and the two sat on their shoulders again and left.
When they arrived at the side hall of the front hall of Zichen Palace, she and Li Chengxuan waited for a long time before seeing Li Chun coming in a hurry, her face was very solemn. As soon as the emperor entered the door, he waved away all the palace people and guards in the palace, leaving only Qiu Shiliang to serve.
Xilingyue and Li Chengxuan hurriedly saluted him, and then heard Li Chun ask, "Sixteenth brother, how is the murderer investigated?" ”
He was referring to the murderers of Shopkeeper Liu, Ah Du, Venerable An Cheng and Li Qi, the henchmen of His Royal Highness Kang Xing.
Li Chengxuan quickly glanced at Xiling Yue and replied, "It's still being investigated." ”
"No progress?"
"The younger brother is incompetent."
Li Chun's expression was displeased after hearing this: "Last month, you said that you had a clue, and I asked who you were, but you refused to reveal it at all, saying that you were afraid of startling the snake." Now that half a month has passed, you still say this?! ”
Li Chengxuan's thin lips pursed tightly and did not answer.
A cold light flashed in Li Chun's eyes.
Seeing this, Xilingyue wanted to open her mouth to relieve the siege, but was stopped by Li Chun raising his hand: "Let's not talk about it yet, I'm in a hurry." The Son of Heaven regained his composure in an instant, and said with a gentle face, "I didn't come to you for this matter...... I just said it bluntly, there are some rumors in the palace, have you heard of it? ”
Xilingyue naturally hadn't heard of it, but she already had a hunch, and she sighed in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "What rumors?" ”
Li Chengxuan was clear, his handsome face was slightly gloomy, and he didn't answer.
Li Chunsui sighed: "It's hard for me to speak, let's let Qiu Shiliang say it." ”
Qiu Shiliang took a step forward according to his words, and said without changing his face: "The prince, the county lord, the next official was transferred to the province a few years ago, and I overheard a rumor that the prince and the county lord were very close, and there was unscrupulous selfishness. ”
"Unruly selfishness?!" Xiling Yue got up abruptly and asked sharply, "Who did you listen to?" ”
"Back to the county lord, the eunuch of the Inner Servant Province said it."
"Nonsense!" Xiling Yue was so angry that her heart was sullen, "How can there be such rumors?" ”
"I don't know." Qiu Shiliang responded very calmly, "Xia Guan only heard that you met the prince when you were left in the people, and the prince had the heart to accept you as a side concubine, so he took you back to Chang'an, but he didn't want to...... I found a birthmark on your body and accidentally learned who you were. ”
Qiu Shiliang had been speaking fluently when he replied, but he paused for a moment when talking about the birthmark, obviously covering up some unbearable words. Yes, how could the dignified blessed king find the birthmark on her body? Since he had the heart to accept her as a side concubine, he naturally found it between the beds!
Xiling Yue trembled with anger, felt embarrassed for a while, and was even more ashamed to look at Li Chengxuan's expression.
"Who the hell said that?!" She suddenly raised her voice, almost hoarsely reprimanded, "Filthy thing, I must find him out!" ”
"Yue'er, don't be angry yet." Li Chun hurriedly spoke to appease.
Xi Lingyue seemed to have not heard, and emphasized again with red eyes: "I must find him out!" ”
Li Chun saw that she was emotional, so he simply walked down the Danqi and paced to her side: "Don't be angry first, the top priority is to think about how to solve this rumor." ”
"Naturally, the rumor-mongers are found out!" Xiling Yue was so angry that she lost her mind.
Li Chun was noncommittal, and looked at Li Chengxuan again: "Sixteenth brother, what do you say?" ”
"The younger brother doesn't know, and I ask the royal brother for advice." From the moment he heard the news, Li Chengxuan didn't react, except for a faint trace of boredom on his handsome face, as if he had seen through something, but as if he hadn't.
Li Chun didn't see his expression, and said in a deep voice: "One of you is my brother, and the other is my niece. This incident has insulted the reputation of the two of you; At best, it is to slander the royal family...... I was also angry. ”
"Holy Lord, I'm going to the Inner Servant Province to find out this rotten tongue!" Xiling Yue was angry and repeatedly expressed her position.
"Don't be impulsive," Li Chun sighed again, "How did you get this news?" Isn't it that you run to the palace too many times and make people red? Think about it, which of your family background, appearance, talent, and temperament is not top-notch? In addition to his life experience, no one else can fabricate gossip on the side. It's your Uncle Fuwang, who has caused too many rumors in recent years, and he is merciful and prodig......al everywhere," Li Chun asserted, "I think you are affected by him, and if someone else takes you back to Chang'an, you will definitely not be so assigned." ”
The words of the Son of Heaven surprised Xilingyue very much. Li Chengxuan and her are both victims of this incident, shouldn't Li Chun be comforted? How do you hear the meaning of this......
She faintly felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but look at Li Chengxuan, and saw a seemingly nonexistent smile on his lips, very faint, I don't know whether it was sarcasm or sneer.
Xiling Yue's heart sank, and she hurriedly raised her eyes and asked, "Holy Lord, Yue'er didn't understand what you meant. ”
Li Chun didn't answer and glanced at Qiu Shiliang. The latter instantly understood and bowed to retire.
Li Chun said: "I thought that you didn't have to investigate this rumor, but it seemed that you wanted to cover it up." ”
"Do you want to let them slander maliciously?" Xiling Yuexin is unwilling.
"Naturally, I can't let it go, I have a way of clarifying the best of both worlds."
Here comes the point! Xilingyue suddenly had a sense of powerlessness, she had already expected what Li Chun's next sentence would be, knowing that there was a trap ahead, but she had no way to avoid it, so she could only jump down.
In silence, she heard herself ask, "How?" ”
"You two are married." Li Chun finally made a statement.
Xilingyue didn't answer again, her long eyelashes drooped, her teeth clenched, and she felt a chill.
Li Chengxuan also did not react, waiting for the next sentence like a sculpture.
Li Chun then walked back onto the Danqi, turned his back to the two, and didn't know who he was talking to: "The life of the daughter's family must be carefully considered, but the sixteenth brother you ......" He paused for a moment, turned to look at Li Chengxuan, "You know the thoughts of the queen mother, I can't let her mess with this marriage, if you believe me, I will give the marriage after the first month." ”
Hearing this, Li Chengxuan finally reacted, and his lips moved: "Brother Chen......"
"No way!" Xiling Yue suddenly spoke, walked to the center of the hall and knelt down, "Holy Lord, the marriage is about your love and my wishes, and it must not be easily decided because of a rumor!" ”
Li Chun's face immediately became gloomy: "Who did you listen to say, 'You love me'?" Marriage events have been the words of the parents since ancient times. The eldest brother is like a father, and I am a king, can't I be the master? ”
Xilingyue was speechless, but her heart was like a mirror, sneering. Fang Tianzi's face changed so quickly, and after asking the murderer, he suddenly stopped being angry. What rumors, what "eldest brother is like father", the purpose of making all this is not to give Li Chengxuan a marriage and let him break off his relationship with Wei Bozhen?
