Chapter 132: Protect Her for Life?
"What? Do I have to report back to you where I'm going? ”
"If you don't say it, I know." Xiao Jingcong smiled slightly, revealing a look of knowing everything, "The second princess didn't bully you, right?" ”
"What else do you say......"
Yan Zixi saw Xiao Jingcong asking, so she told him what happened in the Second Prince's Mansion today.
After Xiao Jingcong heard this, he immediately straightened his face and scolded angrily: "The second imperial concubine is so rude, Xi'er, don't worry, this king will seek justice for you." ”
"Jingcong, do you have an idea?"
Yan Zixi looked at Xiao Jingcong's smile on her lips and immediately asked.
Xiao Jingcong put it in Yan Zixi's ear and said something slowly, and Yan Zixi immediately became happy after hearing it.
……
In the next two days, the news of the second imperial concubine's donation of 1,000 taels of gold spread all at once, and spread throughout the capital.
The streets and alleys are talking about this matter everywhere, and the second prince and the second princess seem to have become the talk of the common people after dinner, and they are all taunting and scolding the second prince and the second princess in private, saying that they are corrupt and bribery, looting the people's fat and ointment, and trying to buy people's hearts while the flood is in danger.
After this news made a big fuss, it finally reached the palace and reached the ears of the emperor.
After the emperor learned of this, he was immediately furious! immediately attracted the second prince to come and question.
The second prince's mansion.
After the second prince Xiao Yuxian learned the news, he slapped the second princess Zhao fiercely, and scolded bitterly.
"You stupid woman, you almost killed this king! Do you know, because of your vanity, now the ups and downs all over the city say that my second prince looted the people's fat and people's ointment and accepted bribes from ministers, do you know what his father would do with me if this matter was known by his father?! ”
The second imperial concubine didn't dare to fight back after being beaten, so she fell to the ground, crying bitterly and begging for mercy.
"Your Highness, the concubine knows that she is wrong...... The concubine really knew that she was wrong...... The concubine didn't expect this matter to be so big...... I...... I also kindly want to help you, organize a fundraising meeting to help the victims, and I also want to win the hearts of the people for your husband...... Who knew it would become like this......"
The second prince pondered for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Let me ask you, who did you invite to participate in the fundraising meeting that day......
"There's no one either...... It's all the wives of the ministers who support us on weekdays......"
The second imperial concubine thought about it, and suddenly a figure burst out of her mind, "That's right...... By the way, there is a ...... who is not on our side."
"Who?!" The second prince, Xiao Yuxian, grabbed the placket of Zhao's clothes and asked coldly.
"Yes...... It is the general's wife of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Xiao ...... Princess Xiao ......"
"Is that her?! You stupid woman, why did you invite her into the house? ”
"Your Highness, the concubine wants to help you pull the young general Xiao Jingcong over! If Xiao Jingcong is willing to stand on our side, then your position as the crown prince will definitely be secure...... So...... That's why the concubine thought about inviting Princess Xiao...... Why, do you suspect that she leaked this news? The second princess asked with a twinkle in her eyes.
Xiao Yuxian had a gloomy face, and hummed in his mouth: "The other ladies definitely don't have the courage to do this!" Although there is no evidence, that Princess Xiao Yan Zixi is the most suspicious......"
"That'...... So what do we do now? The second imperial concubine had already panicked, knelt in front of Xiao Yuxian, and asked with a cry of no master.
"What to do? Sooner or later, my father will find out about this! This disaster is inevitable! ”
Xiao Yuxian gritted his teeth, "Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it's better to take the initiative to confess!" ”
Sure enough, Xiao Yuxian didn't wait for the emperor to summon him, so he came with a plea.
Xiao Yuxian knelt outside the Taihe Hall with the thorns on his back, and defended himself with tears in his eyes: "Father Emperor Mingjian! The sons will never do such a foolish thing, there must be villains who slander behind their backs, and they are willing to ask their father to make the decision for their sons, and clear the snow and grievances for their sons! ”
Gonggong Wu was distressed when he saw it from the side, and his mouth screamed.
"Oh, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, you better get up first! The emperor said that he will not see you! ”
"If my father doesn't see his son, his son will not be able to kneel outside the Taihe Hall today, even if he kneels outside the palace, his son will definitely not be able to bear this kind of stigma!"
As he spoke, Xiao Yuxian knocked his head down again.
Gonggong Wu sighed, quickly turned around and returned to the main hall, and reported to the emperor again.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has been kneeling outside for two hours, have you really not seen him?"
The emperor sat on the high dragon chair, reviewed the music in his hand, and did not raise his head from beginning to end, but asked coldly.
"What did he say?"
"Emperor Qi, His Royal Highness the Second Prince said that if you don't see him today, he will not be able to kneel outside this Taihe Palace, even if he kneels to death outside the palace, he will see you!"
"Hmph, the shaft still doesn't know the sin? Then keep him on his knees! ”
Saying that, the emperor ignored it and continued to bury his head in reviewing the recital.
Time passed minute by minute, until the evening, the second prince Xiao Yuxian was still kneeling outside the hall, and the rice and water did not enter.
The Queen Mother, who learned the news, hurriedly rushed over and wanted to pull Xiao Yuxian up from the ground. Go to Audiobook.com
"My good emperor, get up, get up quickly!"
But Xiao Yuxian still hasn't gotten up, if he gets up now, then he will have lost all his efforts.
So no matter how tough it is, he has to grit his teeth and persevere.
"Imperial grandmother, forgive the unfilial emperor and grandson for not being able to greet you. It's windy here, and you're not in good shape, so go back! ”
"Emperor, how can I watch you kneel here and ignore you...... You wait, I'll go to your father!" ”
After the queen mother finished speaking, she walked into the Taihe Hall with the support of the palace maid, and pointed at the emperor and scolded as soon as she entered the palace.
"The second child has been kneeling outside for a day, are you really so ruthless and turn a blind eye to him?"
"Queen Mother, I have my own measure in this matter, you go back to the palace first. Come on, send the Queen Mother back to the palace! ”
The queen mother wanted to say something, but was taken down by the palace maid, and at this time, the emperor instructed Gonggong Wu next to him: "Gonggong Wu, let Yu Xian come in!" ”
"Yes!"
When Gonggong Wu heard this, he immediately ran out of the hall and summoned the second prince, Xiao Yuxian.
"The emperor has an order, Xuan Second Prince Xiao Yuxian enters the palace!"
Gonggong Wu hurriedly walked down the steps and helped Xiao Yuxian up: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, the emperor is already willing to see you, come, I will help you, you slowly stand up......"
Xiao Yuxian knelt for a day, his legs were already paralyzed, if he hadn't practiced martial arts, I am afraid he would have been unable to support it for a long time.
"Gonggong Wu is grateful, this king will definitely reward you heavily in the future!"
"Hey, don't dare, don't dare! This is what an old slave should do. ”
Gonggong Wu carefully carried one of Xiao Yuxian's arms, supported him and slowly walked up the steps and entered the Taihe Palace.
After entering the palace, seeing the extremely majestic emperor from above, Xiao Yuxian wanted to kneel down and salute, but was stopped by the emperor.
"Excuse me!"
"Thank you...... Thank you! ”
"Yu Xian, I ask you, are you guilty?!" The emperor opened his dragon eyes and stared at Xiao Yuxian in the hall and asked.
Xiao Yuyan hurriedly replied: "Enlighten the father, the son is guilty!" ”
"Okay, then tell me, where is your sin?"
"Back to my father's words, the son-in-law is not strict, let the imperial concubine Zhao do such a stupid thing......"
Xiao Yuxian kept silent about corruption and bribery, and looted people's fat and ointment, but transferred all the wind to Zhao's body.
The emperor was furious, and snorted coldly: "What's more! ”
Obviously, this is not the answer that the emperor wants.
Xiao Yuxian replied again with congratulations: "Erchen shouldn't be close to Li Chengxiang and those adults, Erchen must think about it behind closed doors when he goes back, and he will definitely not do it again!" ”
"Well, it seems that the punishment of kneeling still has some effect, okay, I will investigate this matter in Dali Siqing, you go back!" After speaking, the emperor closed his tired dragon eyes, and suddenly seemed to be much older.
"Thank you for your grace! The father takes care of the dragon's body, and the son retires! ”
On the way back, Xiao Yuxian happened to bump into Xiao Jingcong, who was summoned by the emperor.
Xiao Jingcong saw Xiao Yuxian limping over, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Second Emperor Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xiao Yuxian glared at Xiao Jingcong fiercely, especially at this time, Xiao Jingcong was still crying and fake compassion, which couldn't help but make him angry.
He knew very well that Princess Xiao Yan Zixi was just a weak woman, and it was impossible for her to make any big waves! It must have been Yan Zixi who told Xiao Jingcong about this, and Xiao Jingcong sent someone to spread the word in the capital.
"Jing Cong, you and your princess are really good at it! The king has fallen to this point! ”
When Xiao Jingcong heard this, she immediately pretended to be at a loss, and asked in surprise.
"Second Emperor Brother, what do you mean by this? Jing Cong doesn't understand! Are your legs lame? It shouldn't be, Jing Cong just entered the palace......"
"Enough! Xiao Jingcong, you and I are both smart people, so don't continue to act there! You've married a good lady! But this king tells you that you think that you can pull this king down with your mouth alone, that's just too wrong, this matter is not over! ”
"Second Emperor Brother, I really don't understand why you would say such a thing? My princess is ignorant and ignorant, and the day before yesterday there seemed to be some unpleasantness with the second princess, and the younger brother has already reprimanded her. Since the second emperor brother is still angry, then the younger brother will compensate you on behalf of my princess! ”
After speaking, Xiao Jingcong really hugged his fists and saluted.
But Xiao Yuxian didn't eat Xiao Jingcong at all, he looked at Xiao Jingcong coldly, and hummed in his mouth: "Xiao Jingcong, you wait, this king won't give up!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around and prepared to leave.
When passing by Xiao Jingcong's side, Xiao Yuxian laughed coldly again.
"Xiao Jingcong, can you keep your woman for a while, can you still keep her for a lifetime?"
