Chapter 44: Who is plotting against whom

Palace.

The atmosphere in the imperial study was very solemn, and all the people present were sinking like water, each with their own thoughts.

Murong Hong stared at his son who had been kneeling on the ground for many days without seeing him, which was summoned by the emperor Murong Cheng at the repeated request of him and Su Muchun.

Su Muchun was expressionless, and looked at Yuelan Guoxinlan and Gongsun Lan, who had been sobbing again, and the prince of Yuelan Kingdom, Huaiwang Sun Gongchi, who was sitting next to her.

Murong Cheng looked at Murong Hong with an open heart, but Gongsun Lan's eyes flickered, avoiding Su Muchun's cold gaze.

When everyone saw her move, they only thought that she was also overwhelmed by Su Muchun's handsomeness, and only she knew why.

The emperor took a sip of tea and glanced around before he said, "Murong Cheng, you took advantage of your position to try to get your hands on Princess Xinlan, but is there such a thing?" ”

Murong Cheng said calmly, "Back to Your Majesty, there is no such thing. ”

"Humph!"

Gongsun Chi said in a deep voice with a cold face: "Murong Cheng, you still dare to quibble with my imperial sister's ill intentions!" ”

Murong Cheng retorted, "Back to His Royal Highness the King of Huai, I really don't dare to be a subordinate official if I plot against him, and the subordinate official just went to teach etiquette at the behest of Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

Afterwards, Murong Cheng glanced at Princess Xinlan and said, "But for some reason, Her Royal Highness the princess saw that the lower official repeatedly teased with words, and the lower official reminded her many times to no avail, so she got up to leave, but her Royal Highness the princess suddenly self-destructed her makeup and grabbed the lower official and didn't let go, and the lower official still wanted to ask Her Royal Highness the princess what his intentions were?" ”

After hearing this, Su Muchun moved the corners of his mouth, and coughed to hide his expression that he wanted to laugh but couldn't.

"You ......"

Gongsun Chi pointed at Murong Cheng and said, "It's ridiculous, are you saying that my imperial sister used her innocence to frame you as a little courtesy?" You don't look in a mirror to take a good look at yourself. ”

Murong Cheng was not happy when he heard this, and said with a cold face, "You don't need to look in the mirror to know what you look like, but Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't know." ”

Except for the brothers and sisters of Gongsun Chi, all the people present twitched the corners of their mouths, isn't it obvious that the princess is blind again?

"You ......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

Gongsun Lan was ashamed when she heard this, and she hid her face and wept.

Gongsun Chi was furious, his face turned pale, and he turned to salute the emperor on the dragon chair and said, "Your Majesty, although my Yuelan Kingdom is a small subordinate country, I can't recognize people so humiliated, and I ask Your Majesty to uphold justice for us." ”

What he said was clearly saying that if the emperor doesn't severely punish Murong Cheng, we will go to another country and not play with you.

Han Zhongzhi stole a glance at Murong Hong, sneered in his heart, and said after a moment of silence: "Your Majesty, Yuelan Kingdom has never had such a thing happen to our country for many years, but this Murong Cheng has brought shame to our country as soon as he came, if this son breaks down the friendship between my country and Yuelan Country for many years, it will not be worth the loss!" ”

None of the people present could hear his intentions, and it was clear that he was going down to the ground to take revenge on Murong Qing for borrowing gold from the court, otherwise Murong Qing would not have let Su Muchun enter the palace.

Su Muchun coughed lightly, took a sip of tea, and said faintly: "Prime Minister, is this trying to kill people?" ”

Han Zhongzhi looked at Su Muchun and said in a fierce voice, "Murong Cheng was caught at the scene for Princess Xinlan's plot to misbehave, the evidence is conclusive, and the true appearance is also a matter of facts. ”

Su Muchun glanced at Princess Xinlan, who was still sobbing, with contempt, and said, "Why can't you say that the princess was secretly moved when she saw that Murong Gongzi was talented, and Murong Gongzi was annoyed and angry after she didn't want to be rejected sternly?" ”

Gongsun Chi shouted angrily: "Your Royal Highness King Chun, is this trying to make the two countries go to war? ”

"Humph!"

Su Muchun sneered and said, "Do you think this king will be afraid of you." ”

Han Zhongzhi hurriedly said, "King Huai, please calm your anger." ”

Instead, he said to Su Muchun, "How can Princess Xinlan's noble status be the same as Miss Murong San, even if she wants to marry, she will marry the prince of our country, how can she fall in love with the son of a general, wouldn't she be self-defeating." ”

The crown prince also said, "Brother Seventh Emperor, Princess Yuelan represents that the friendship between the two countries can go further, this kind of thing is not nonsense!" ”

Su Muchun squinted at the prince and said, "Brother Huang, is he talking nonsense when he looks at me?" ”

He straightened up and continued, "What's wrong with the general's son?" Brother Prince, are you and I also General Murong's future son-in-law? ”

When the prince heard this, the unnaturalness on his face flashed.

Su Muchun coughed lightly, took a sip of tea, and said, "I'm saying that Princess Xinlan's marriage to the second son of Murong is also to enhance the friendship between the two countries!" Then again, the biggest sacrifice has to be our second brother, who sacrifices himself for the sake of the two countries not to fight each other, this spirit of sacrificing small righteousness and righteousness, in exchange for what others may not be able to do. ”

"Uh......"

At first glance, what Su Muchun said made sense, but after a closer look...... How do you feel that what he said means: Anyway, it's already like this, it's better to marry Murong Cheng directly!

But the brothers and sisters of Gongsun Chi looked at Murong Hong with a difference in their eyes, a general has two princes as uncles......

Su Muchun said again, "If Princess Xinlan still wants to climb that ......" Speaking of this, he glanced at the prince and Han Zhongzhi and teased, "I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" ”

Murong Hong almost couldn't hold back his laughter, isn't this clearly saying that you Princess Xinlan are one step late! If you want to be the queen, you will either marry the crown prince as a side concubine, and you will rely on your own means to sit on the queen in the future, which will inevitably offend me and Han Zhongzhi, or you will marry other princes and use the strength of their Yuelan Kingdom to straighten them and let them sit on the throne, which will cause a war between the two countries and a fight between the princes.

Murong Cheng knelt there, no matter how he listened, he felt wrong, and squinted at Su Muchun.

The emperor heard what Su Muchun meant, but how could he say such a ridiculous thing about letting a foreign princess marry the general's son.

was saying that what he was thinking was exactly what Murong Qing wanted to use the topic to play, and he didn't want to pursue the matter of borrowing gold from the court, but before the gold was hot, it was taken out by those ministers and Shangjuan.

You don't have to think about it to know that this must be Murong Qing's idea, but how did she buy those old stubborn ones? This remains to be thought about.

The emperor took a sip of tea and said, "Chun'er, how do you think this matter should be solved?" ”

Everyone heard that the emperor had thrown the offending thing to Su Muchun, and it was useless to do it, and it was not done well...... That's hard to say.

Su Muchun didn't think so, looked at Gongsun Lan and asked with a playful look in her eyes, "I don't know if the princess wants to climb high in the future...... Or is it purely for the friendship of the two countries? ”

Murong Hong secretly gave Su Muchun a thumbs up and said: That's a wonderful question!

But Han Zhongzhi was secretly scolding: Su Muchun was despicable and shameless.

The prince's face was even more angry, and Su Muchun's words directly put him, Han Zhongzhi and Yuelan Kingdom into it.

Princess Xinlan wants to say that she is the one who wants to be the queen, but how can she say this as a woman? She peeked at her imperial brother Gongsun Chi, so you can help me say it!

Gongsun Chi understood his sister's thoughts, but if he wanted to be a queen...... He peeked at the crown prince again, and heard that the crown prince already had a crown princess, and it was the emperor's holy decree......

Han Zhongzhi saw that Gongsun didn't speak for a long time, and knew what the reason was, and after pondering, he saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Xinlan is a princess of a country, if you do it in such a hurry, wouldn't it be a contempt for Yuelan Kingdom." ”

The emperor nodded and said, "What about the prime minister?" ”

Han Zhongzhi saluted again and said, "Your Majesty, this matter should be handled impartially by the Three Law Divisions, and Princess Xinlan will be innocent!" ”

Su Muchun asked, "Can you be on the spot at any time?" ”

Han Zhongzhi's thick eyebrows frowned and said, "Xia Guan was not present at that time!" ”

Su Muchun moved the corners of his mouth and said, "Since Cheng is not here at the time, why do you want to say that the princess is innocent, not that the second son of Murong is innocent!" ”

Gongsun Chi heard this and shouted angrily: "King Chun, what is your intention to slander my imperial sister's innocence again and again? ”

Su Muchun also shouted, "King Huai, what is the purpose of Princess Xinlan framing the son of my dynasty Yipin?" ”

After Su Muchun said this, he coughed violently, as if he was really angry, and the coughing sound made people worry about it.

Gongsun Chi was furious and said, "My imperial sister was humiliated in your country for no reason, and your country not only did not seek justice for her, but said that our purpose was not pure, and I dare to ask King Chun where did I put my Yuelan country?" ”

Gongsun Chi said again: "Although my Yuelan country is small, if I really want to go to war, my country may not be afraid of you." ”

Su Muchun frowned and said disdainfully: "Does King Huai think that this king is weak, and the name of this god of war has become an ornament?" ”

"You ......"

Gongsun Chi glared at Su Muchun angrily, but in his heart he was thinking about the weight of Su Muchun's words, Su Muchun's name as the god of war was not in vain, it was a real and practical battle exploit.

Don't look at him as he is only in his early twenties, but he was in the barracks when he was crowned, and he only came back to recuperate after being seriously injured two years ago.

The atmosphere in the imperial study room was tense, and everyone present did not dare to say much, and if it was not handled well, it could cause war between the two countries.

The emperor glanced at Su Muchun and then at Gongsun Chi, and said in a deep voice, "This matter is still investigated by the three law divisions, as for ......," the emperor glanced at Murong Hong and continued: "As for the rest, I will make a decision when the investigation results of the three law divisions come out." ”

The emperor slapped the board, and no one dared to say anything more, Su Muchun saw that the emperor did not use the topic to play, so he was not doing more useless disputes, as for the three law divisions, he was thinking of a way.

Everyone dispersed, Su Muchun and Murong Hong returned to the General's Mansion, Su Muchun went straight to Yilan Courtyard, and Murong Hong returned to his study.

But as soon as he arrived at the door of the study, he saw Han and Murong Hua, waiting outside the door with anxious faces.

Han stepped forward and grabbed the sleeve of his robe and asked eagerly, "General, Cheng'er, how is he?" ”

Murong Hong's thick eyebrows frowned, shook her hand away, pushed the door into the study, and sat down before saying, "I was taken into custody by the Three Law Division." ”

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

Han Shi was slightly stunned at first, and then said firmly, "This is absolutely impossible, Cheng'er would not do that kind of thing!" ”

Murong Hong said with a calm face, "I also believe that Cheng'er is not such a child, but King Huai will not forgive him, and he must ask the emperor to give an explanation, otherwise the two countries will go to war." ”

When Han heard this, he suddenly lost his opinion, looked at Murong Hong and pleaded, and said, "General, you must save Cheng'er!" ”

Murong Hong said in an unkind tone, "How to save it?" If it weren't for King Chun's presence today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to escape. ”

"It's Murong Qing, it must be that she offended too many people so she will take revenge on Cheng'er."

At this time, Han's mind became clear, and he actually put all the responsibility on Murong Qing.

"Humph!"

Murong Hong said in a deep voice with a cold face: "You can only blame your good cousin for this matter, and he is the one who proposed to hand it over to the Three Law Divisions." ”

"What?"

Han Shi looked at Murong Hong in a daze, she never thought that her cousin would be so ruthless, that was his own nephew!

Murong Hong waved his hand to Han irritably, and Murong Hua helped Han out of the study.

Murong Hong got up and walked towards the mural, constantly thinking about the whole process of this whole thing in his mind, this is obviously a trap, waiting for him to drill into it, but who is the beneficiary behind this scene?

The clutter of his thoughts gave him a headache, and if Qing'er was there, maybe she would give some insight, and he turned around and walked out at the thought of this.

As soon as Murong Hong walked out of the study, he saw Su Muchun and Feng Lin hurriedly walking out, and Murong Hong's heart sank, the only thing that could make Su Muchun so anxious was Murong Qing, could it be that something happened to Qing'er? Thinking like this, he also chased Su Muchun out.

Before I got to the gate of the house, I saw a big chaos outside, and a young man who was covered in blood staggered in from outside.

"Long wind?"

Su Muchun's face instantly became solemn when he saw this person, he knew that Ji Changfeng had been following Murong Qing all along, and he had an accident with Murong Qing......

Ji Changfeng saw that it was Su Muchun who grabbed him, and said with the last trace of sober sanity, "Hurry up...... Fast...... Go save my sister! ”

Su Muchun's face changed instantly when he heard this, and his original sick demeanor was suddenly swept away, followed by a murderous aura, which frightened all the subordinates of the General's Mansion and took a few steps back.

After Ji Changfeng finished speaking, he fainted, and Su Muchun handed Ji Changfeng to Liu Zhong and said, "Go and ask for a doctor, be sure to save him." ”

After explaining, he hurriedly ran outside the gate of the mansion, at this time Fenglin had already prepared horses to wait here, Su Muchun didn't say a word, and flew on the horse and Fenglin galloped towards the eastern suburbs.
