Chapter Eighty-Eight: Questioning the Guilt

This winter is too long, and the boundless snow seems to freeze the entire Heavenly City, without the slightest life. No matter when he recalled it, Nuan Jin still felt that the winter of that year was bitterly cold, and it only took a moment to paralyze people's hands and feet, and such cold made people always think that spring would not come again.

There was silence in the room, and there was a room of masters and slaves, headed by the emperor, with an unusually ugly face, deep brows, and a pair of phoenix eyes staring at Nuan Jin without half a point of warmth, as if they were holding back their anger.

Maybe this kind of silence is too weird, everyone is scared and silent, and no one dares to speak out first at this time. In the end, it was the Queen Mother who opened her mouth first, breaking this oppressive atmosphere.

"What's going on? Who can talk to the mourners? The close-fitting girls are all guarding outside, what are the princesses and the chief eunuch doing in the house at this hour? ”

Nuan Jin never thought that his father and grandmother would suddenly break in at this hour, and his heart immediately panicked, originally there was nothing to do, the two of them were talking about themselves in the room, and they didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but this team of people who were mobilizing the crowd suddenly broke into Qiwu Palace, which made her completely panicked.

"Son...... The sons didn't know that their father and grandmother were coming, and they were disappointed, so they asked their father and grandmother to atone for their sins. ”

"Hehe, you're afraid that your two loyal slaves don't just want to pass it on, right? However, if you can't teach your own slaves, the mourning family will discipline you for you! You're not going to worry about that! ”

Nuan Jin's face changed, and he didn't see Tao Tao and Nanyi, and just wanted to ask, the queen mother said again: "Just now someone sent a secret report, saying that Princess Yan had a private meeting here, and the mourning family was shocked when they heard it, and felt that Princess Yan was ...... even if she was habitually unruly" The queen mother glanced at the gloomy emperor intentionally or unintentionally when she said this, and wanted to say that this was a good thing that he did with the pearl in his palm.

"But I won't make a big mistake, so when someone said this to the mourning family, the mourning family didn't believe it, so they called the emperor to see if there was a false person, or the princess acted wrongly, so as not to be said by others to be deliberately troubled!"

The emperor can hear the cynicism of the queen mother, her old man has always had no good impression of Lou Nuanjin, before because of the queen, and then Nuan Jin acted perversely and deviantly in the palace, not only with the affairs of Mrs. Rong caused rumors throughout the palace, but now he is involved with the chief eunuch, and can be liked by the queen mother, which is strange.

Although he was angry at the moment, the emperor still suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "What is the queen mother talking about, the son definitely has no intention of favoring anyone, the prince is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, so if the princess really violates the palace rules, it is all up to the queen mother to deal with it." ”

"Really?" Although the queen mother is over sixty years old, she looks like she is in her forties because of proper maintenance, and she was a peerless beauty who favored the six palaces when she was young, so even if she is old, she still has the charm "If she makes a mistake, the mourning family will definitely not tolerate it, but don't be the emperor here to promise me, someone will come to cry later." ”

The queen she refers to in her words, her son is good anywhere, even if he steps past the love hurdle, and those who are afraid of their mother-in-law in the people will be said to be soft ears.

The emperor coughed, and his heart was even more angry, he had already indulged Nuan Jinji on weekdays, although she was stubborn, but as long as she didn't make a big difference, she had always turned a blind eye.

But at the end of the day? She came to dismantle the platform for herself, she really hated that iron could not become steel, if she had Lou Xuanning's seriousness, she would not have been able to come to this end.

But there is a serious matter, she and Cen Run had a private meeting in the boudoir, and it was really disgraced to spread the face of the heavenly family, especially Cen Run, who had hinted that he should abide by his duty earlier, but as a result, he turned a deaf ear to the holy decree, and really thought that he would not dare to kill him.

The emperor's expression was cold, and his eyebrows and eyes were frozen, Cen Run was too familiar with his expression, and he was afraid that the emperor had already moved his killing intent.

"Say it!" The emperor didn't squeak, the queen mother was not reluctant, the matter in front of her has not been clarified, this conviction is really not convincing enough, if she really violated the palace rules, she has to punish Lou Nuanjin, I believe the emperor can't stop it.

How can an emperor who doesn't even care about national laws and family rules govern the country well?

"Yes, it's Erchen, it was Erchen who found the chief manager, because the prince was injured, and Erchen was too worried, so he wanted to see if there was any news from the chief manager."

The Queen Mother sneered: "This matter is reasonable, but you sent the two girls outside to guard, and the door here is closed...... What is the meaning? If you ask the prince about the current situation, you can be above board, why is he so sneaky? ”

Who is the queen mother, who has served the emperor for so many years and still sits firmly on the throne of the most favored concubine, which shows that she has the means and experience.

Nuan Jin really knew too well in her heart that the queen mother must have the news that she was sure of, so she would let her father come with her, and she had to arrest her, no matter what she said, she would not be able to defend herself.

She is not afraid of herself, she is a princess, although she has made mistakes, as long as she is not a traitor and usurper, she will not lose her head, she is worried about him......

Nuan Jin cautiously looked at Cen Run, who was bowing his head on the side, he didn't have much reaction, he didn't see panic or panic, but his face was a little pale, and the rest was fine.

I don't know what he was thinking in his heart, if he was as worried as himself, Nuan Jin felt funny, this had reached such a critical moment, but she calmed down, not as flustered as when she first saw her father and the queen mother.

The left and right are just already this virtue, if she really wants to condemn the crime, she will bear it with all her might, just say that she seduced Cen Run, Cen Run refused, and she just stalked herself.

It's just that Nuan Jin has always been simple and ignorant of the world, even if she said so, Cen Run still committed a capital crime, and the life of a slave is not worth anything, even if it is wishful thinking on the part of the princess, then it is because you led the princess astray, damn it.

The princess didn't speak, and the queen mother didn't have such a good temperament: "If you don't want to say it, the mourning family can only ask your two good slaves. ”

Nuan Jin was shocked, she should be punished for making a mistake, but Tao Tao and Nan Yi were implicated by themselves, and the place where the precept division was notorious, good people went in, and it was the master's grace to come out alive, even if they could come out, they would be tortured for half their lives.

She fell to her knees with a puff: "The imperial grandmother is angry, don't do their business, they are slaves, but they just obey orders!" ”

"Doing what you are told?" The Empress Dowager slowed down her tone and looked at the emperor with an unsurprising expression.

The emperor is extremely angry, and in terms of not recruiting herself, this daughter has never been willing to disappoint.

Nuan Jin knew that he was speechless, and knelt there left and right: "Er, Erchen is saying that Tao Tao and Nanyi are both guarding in the courtyard on the orders of Erchen....... There's nothing else to do......"

"Nothing else? Mourning family looks at your eyes are red and swollen, who are you crying with? And why? You and Manager Cen have known each other since childhood, but the relationship between the two of you goes beyond master and servant? If so, then whose mind is it? The Queen Mother's beautiful eyes were sharp, and when she looked at Nuan Jin, she seemed to be able to see through her instantly.

"Son, son, minister......." Nuan Jin was a little overwhelmed, and the queen mother was imposing, and she was afraid of her oppression.

"Or ...... Did someone instigate the princess? The Empress Dowager squinted her eyes and looked at Cen Run, "I thought I was the person next to the emperor, so I didn't dare to move?" ”

"No, it doesn't matter to him!" Nuan Jin was a little excited, and subconsciously got up in front of him.

Her appearance of being silverless here simply told everyone that the relationship between her and Cen Run was unusual.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, and just wanted to say something, but Cen Run, who had not reacted, took a step forward and knelt in front of the Queen Mother calmly, his appearance was neither humble nor arrogant, and even at this time, he did not see the slightest panic from him.

His righteous and awe-inspiring appearance made Nuan Jin feel frightened, and understood what he wanted to do, she tried her best to give him a look, Cen Run just lowered her eyes slightly and refused to look at her: "Back to the Queen Mother, she is a minion-"

"Wait a minute!" Seeing this, Wanyin suddenly ran out, and knelt beside Cen Run before everyone could react.

This sudden scene, Rao is Queen Mother didn't understand: "Wanyin, what are you doing." ”

Wanyin glanced sideways at Cen Run, and a look quickly flashed in her eyes: "It's a slave!" ”
