Chapter Forty-Nine: Playing the Fake Piano
"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, it's not me, it's not me." The woman was so frightened that she hurriedly kowtowed, and her head hit the ground heavily, for fear that the punishment would be heavier.
The words in the woman's mouth were strange, and there was a trace of doubt in the emperor's eyebrows.
At this moment, another guard took out a piano from behind the curtain, and the woman's face was no longer bloodless.
"Your Majesty, I found this from behind the curtain."
Suddenly, there was a sigh on the field, and many people with clear minds had roughly guessed the reason, looking at Lan Yuling in the middle of the main hall, and sure enough, her face was pale.
"It turned out that someone was helping her behind her back, I said why did she suddenly play the piano so well, and dared to play the piano in front of the emperor, not afraid of messing up." There was a woman in the seat next to her who usually had conflicts with Lan Yuling, and said angrily.
"I think Lan Yuling is quite bold, and she is not afraid of any accidents, now that something has happened, let's see what she can do."
"Lao Tzu even wanted to come to the door to propose marriage just now, he was really blind, fortunately this matter was poked out, otherwise he would have really married this liar and come to the door, don't cheat my belongings."
"Hey, it's still the little sister of the Lin family, you see that things here don't affect her at all, she should eat and drink, this mentality, there is no one else, she looks beautiful, and she is not a bad woman, I will marry this kind of person if I want to marry in the future."
"Go, it's not because you fancy someone's beauty, you look like this, come to the door to propose, and see if Lin Sheng doesn't blow you out."
Since ancient times, there has always been no shortage of people who have come to see the excitement.
The safety of life has been guaranteed, this woman is not an assassin, so they can eat melons quietly, and they can't be involved anyway.
"What's going on!" This time, without waiting for the emperor to speak, Lan Yingying took the lead.
The woman looked up at Lan Yingying in fright, and happened to see the threat in her eyes, and suddenly her body trembled more and more.
"It's Miss Lan Er, it's not me, it's she who asked me to do this." The woman's incoherent confession.
"What did you say, what did I let you do!" Lan Yuling was so frightened that she retorted, obviously feeling that there was a hint of contempt in the eyes around her looking at her.
She wanted to exonerate herself, but she didn't know that the woman's lips trembled when she heard her words, thinking that they were going to push themselves out of the guilt, although they seemed to have this idea.
The woman turned to her knees and slammed her head on the ground.
"Miss Lan Er, if there is no order from you, how dare I hide in this hall, and how dare I play the piano in public, you can't push me out if something happens, you can let me live!"
There was already a pool of blood on the ground, and these words were like a bombshell, buzzing in Lan Yuling's head.
The survival instinct made her immediately defend herself: "Don't talk nonsense, when did I let you stay on top of this hall, and when did I say that you would let you play the piano, you made a mistake yourself, don't push it on me." ”
The woman cried more and more: "Miss Lan Er, I kowtowed to you, you can't do this to me, when you found me, you said that there would be no problem, you begged me to let you promise you!" ”
"I don't know you at all, and you dare to slander!" Lan Yuling was angry, anxious and panicked.
She never thought that this woman would say anything in a panic, and instantly looked at Lan Yingying for help.
"I didn't slander, what I said was the truth, Miss Lan Er, you have mercy, my cheap life is worthless, you can spare me!"
"Full of nonsense, assassinating in front of the emperor and trying to slander my Lan family, the emperor, this person has bad intentions, the concubine asks for the guards to take her away and execute, otherwise she will say something rebellious later."
Lan Yingying was also anxious, and hurriedly asked the emperor for her life, and interrupted the woman's words that she wanted to continue begging for mercy.
It's noisy here, Lan Wan'er is happily watching the play on the side, and Lin Cheng looks at her in surprise.
Before she asked him to bring her to the state banquet, she didn't say anything specific, I didn't expect her to be able to do this,
"Juan'er, how the hell did you do that?" Lin Cheng asked in a low voice.
Lan Wan'er chewed the food unhurriedly and swallowed slowly, and then spoke: "Lan Yingying and the Lan family were frustrated some time ago, she will definitely find a way to save it, and the best opportunity to take advantage of it is the current state banquet, if you can grasp it well, it will not be difficult to beat the names of several young ladies of the Lan family." ”
Speaking of this, she paused before saying, "Well, I've always paid more attention to her, and combined with the clues collected, it is not difficult to guess what she will want to do." ”
is also because she is too familiar with Lan Yingying, and she can analyze one, two, or three of her every move.
The enemy is in the light and I am in the dark, and I can't worry about moving her.
"You already knew there were people in the main hall?" Lin Cheng was a little surprised.
This kind of secret thing, the less people know about it, the better, if you are not particularly close to it, you will never tell it, how could this woman be suddenly exposed, it must be the person next to him who is focusing on eating.
"I don't know." Lan Xuan'er replied.
Lin Cheng choked, could he have guessed wrong? Didn't this girl do it?
"Lan Yuling's piano doesn't play that well." Lan Wan'er said again.
Lin Cheng understood.
"Dad, sister, are you talking about this? This woman is really unlucky, not to mention helping others play the fake piano, and now she has to be pushed out as a scapegoat, with the emperor's favor for the imperial concubine, maybe this woman will soon die unjustly. ”
Lan Wan'er smiled, "No." ”
"Why?" Lin Sheng was puzzled.
The imperial concubine has spoken, even if this woman has any more grievances and people die, it is still useless.
"Because, human nature is evil." Lan Wan'er said lightly, glanced at the wine next to her, and looked annoyed.
In the past, only Xiao Baozi stopped her from drinking at home, but now as soon as she picks up the wine jar, the two of them go into battle together, and she can't take a sip.
And this veil is really in the way, if it weren't for the fear of scaring Lan Yingying and ruining her later plans, she really wanted to take off this veil.
Lin Sheng still didn't understand the meaning of Lan Wan'er's words, and Lan Wan'er didn't bother to speak.
explained: "Didn't you see that woman so cowardly? I vomited out more than half of it before I wanted her to die just now, and now I know that the imperial concubine wants to kill herself, do you say that she is quick to speak or that the imperial concubine is waiting for the emperor to order quickly? ”
It's like, it's really incomparable...
As she spoke, the woman's eyes changed when she heard Lan Yingying's words, with endless panic in her eyes, and at the same time, there was a hint of determination to burn jade.
"Imperial Concubine, how can you treat me like this, you just threatened me with your eyes and didn't let me tell you, I really didn't tell you!"
The woman looked up at Lan Yingying, the blood on her forehead falling down her cheeks, mixed with tears like bursting embankments, staining her face all over her face.
At this moment, all kinds of emotions on her face were intertwined, which made the blood on her face look funny.
Lan Yingying glared at the woman angrily, and the threat in her eyes still didn't stop: "You shut up at this palace!" The dignified son of heaven is above, where is your share in speaking! ”
But she didn't want the woman to be even more scared when she saw this, so she opened her mouth to tell everything.
It just so happened that at this moment, the emperor also spoke: "Let her speak." ”
The emperor glanced at Lan Yingying with unkind eyes, now that the situation is clear, the imperial concubine's style is really getting more and more unacceptable.
It seems that my face was scratched last time, and even my head was scratched.
"Your Majesty, you can't believe what this woman said, if it's really an assassin, the concubine has to think about the emperor's dragon body!"
Lan Yingying tried to suppress the panic in her eyes and maintain her grace and elegance on the surface.
"Now that she's weak, there's no threat to me, and besides, this woman clearly has something to say, and if she's really an assassin, it's likely that she'll be behind it." The emperor was quite impatient.
The matter has come to this point, he must let the truth of the matter be revealed, otherwise let this matter pass like this, where is the majesty of his emperor and what are the rules of the dynasty.
"Your Majesty." Lan Yingying wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the emperor: "Just sit next to you and listen, noble concubine, what does it look like now." ”
The woman almost cried bitterly when she got the emperor's approval, but she was afraid that she couldn't say it clearly, so she hurriedly sniffed and slowly spoke.
"Your Majesty, it was the imperial concubine and Miss Lan Er who let the slave and maid hide behind the curtain, let the slave and maid listen to the movement in the lobby, and began to play when they heard two auditions, and promised the slave and maid a good reward.
They knew that the slave and maid played the piano very well, and found the slave and maid and asked the slave and maid to do this kind of thing, but the slave and maid were unwilling, but the imperial concubine said that this plan could not be known to anyone alive, and if the slave and maid did not play, the slave and maid would be executed.
The slaves were afraid of death, and they didn't know who to tell about it, so they could only agree to their request and play the harp for them.
The imperial concubine also said that there could be no accidents in the hall, and there could be no wrong sound, otherwise the slave maid would pay for it with her life, but the slave didn't dare to play the wrong one, but there was still an accident.
Please remember that slaves and maids are also threatened, and spare the lives of slaves and maids! The slave didn't dare to do anything wrong in this palace because she was afraid of losing her life, but now she is still wrong. ”
The woman kowtowed, Lan Yingying and Lan Yuling's faces could no longer be described as miserable white, and their whole faces were hideous.
"Talking nonsense, I even want to frame this palace, say! Who made you say that! Lan Yingying was so angry that she got up from her seat.
Everyone watched her movements, not knowing what she was going to do.
Lan Wan'er finally raised her eyes to take a look at this scene, her eyes shining with light.
Finally can't take it anymore?
Lan Yingying walked in front of the woman in a few steps, and then drew her sword from the guard guarding next to her.
This action happened so fast that before everyone could react, she was already running towards the woman with her sword.
"This palace killed you slut, you dare to bewitch the emperor!"
The woman looked at the sword that was getting closer and closer, and her pupils widened.
