Chapter 47: I Know My Guilt

After Sihan's praise, the young emperor became more and more happy, his little face was already filled with smiles, and then he lowered his eyes, read the book more and more seriously, and occasionally read some sentences, and discussed with Sihan very seriously.

For the first time in so long, Sihan was so happy to see his young emperor, as if he had really gotten honey.

Sihan looked at him quietly, and sighed in his heart, sure enough, when treating children, he still needs to praise occasionally.

The hall was silent, but the atmosphere was peaceful and not oppressive.

In the afternoon of this day, Sihan stayed in her younger brother's dormitory until the night rose and she had dinner with her younger brother before she slowly got up and left.

When he got out of the palace gate of the dormitory, the young emperor chased after him and asked a little hurriedly: "Sister is going to come over tomorrow to accompany Wei'er to study?" ”

Sihan was slightly stunned, and after a while, she said softly, "If Sister Ah is fine, she will come." ”

The young emperor became more and more pleased, his face was full of smiles, and even those serious and sincere smiles were almost overflowing from his eyes.

It just so happened that the bright moonlight fell on his face, lining his smile, clear as the moon, but also brilliant to make people's hearts sway.

Sihan looked at him quietly, the time was quiet, and he smiled slowly.

But unexpectedly, the years are ruthless, fate makes people, and today's unforgettable smile of his younger brother will also be permanently sealed at this moment, and in the future, the mountain loop is far away, the months are ruthless, and those original purest things will disappear again.

Leaving the younger brother's dormitory, Sihan went straight to Fengqi Palace.

Along the way, Xu is heart is relieved and happy, and his steps are unprecedentedly brisk.

When he returned to Fengqi Palace, a palace slave came to report, saying that the turtle sent to the regent palace was accepted by the palace housekeeper, and he didn't know what to do with it. And the two imperial doctors sent to the palace today did not send any news back, Sihan thought about it, and then called Shan Zhongze to try to plant a dark line in the regent palace.

Although this matter was tricky, Shan Zhongze still respectfully accepted the order.

Sihan pressed his mind for a while, and then began to wash up and go to bed, and fell asleep.

Sihan took his hand and headed towards the Qinzheng Palace.

It was still early, and the oncoming wind was slightly cooler. On the top of the head, the morning glow is wisps, dense with red, looking up at it, only to feel pure and joyful.

In today's court, Lan Yeyu is still the future, and even the uncle who was aggressive in the court yesterday is also in the future.

The rest of the hundred officials stood neatly, but in the full hall, it was extremely rare to have two more.

The two people, one is a depressed Yue Hou, and the other is a gray-haired old Yue Hou.

Sihan's pupils shrank, and deep in his heart, he was a little indifferent.

If Lan Yeyu didn't come to the court, it was because he was 'sick', and the uncle suddenly didn't come, but because of yesterday, he was so angry that he didn't come to the court without asking for leave, in order to demonstrate against her in disguise?

Sihan sneered, her face was as indifferent as ever, and she was not half moved, but after the uniform congratulatory calls of the ministers fell, she alone fell on Qingshan and Lao Yuehou, only to say that today there are less moths and Uncle Guo's trouble, I thought that the last dynasty should be relaxed, but unexpectedly, this Qingshan and Lao Yuehou came.

"Eldest Princess." Xu was aware of Sihan's scrutiny, and as soon as Lao Yuehou raised his eyes slightly, he happened to meet Sihan's eyes.

In a moment, he suddenly knelt down without being humble or arrogant, and his slightly old voice looked tired and weak, "Eldest princess, the old minister is guilty." ”

The sudden sentence made the faces of the people present change.

The ministers all looked at Lao Yuehou, and sometimes swept towards Yue Hou next to Lao Yuehou, and they were quite clear in their hearts.

This Yue Hou often causes trouble outside, and there are many disasters, but now this old Yue Hou finally can't hold back, and finally comes to the court to personally ask for guilt.

It's just that the eldest princess on the court is not a soft-hearted person, this woman is like a sonorous yaksha, even if Lao Yue waits for the horse, I am afraid that it may not be able to make the dominatrix soft-hearted.

The ministers were all thoughtful and stood quietly to watch the play.

Sihan's expression moved slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Lao Yue is old, even if he wants to ask for sin, he will get up and talk about it." ”

Lao Yuehou's expression was complicated, and his wrinkled face was quite stubborn and angry, "Weichen is deeply guilty, and he is ashamed, so he doesn't dare to stand up and speak." ”

Xu was too angry, and his words were too hurried, and as soon as the words fell, he couldn't help but start coughing.

Sihan frowned, and was about to speak, but Lao Yuehou had already swallowed and slapped Qingshan's leg beside him.

In an instant, I only heard a crackling sound, the skin and flesh were crispy, and Qingshan, who was standing in a daze, suddenly came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and swept towards Lao Yuehou, and then heard Lao Yuehou said angrily: "Rebel!" Don't kneel yet! ”

Qingshan's face was still a little numb, and he didn't say much, and as soon as Lao Yuehou's tail fell, he knelt down obediently and didn't say a word.

Lao Yuehou held his breath, held back his cough, and then looked at Sihan, and said sadly and helplessly: "Eldest princess, the old minister is ashamed of the kindness of the first emperor and the love of the eldest princess. The old minister, a rebel, is lawless, not only dares to openly give away to the eldest princess, bad for the name of the eldest princess, but also violates the order of the eldest princess, disrespects the eldest princess, and secretly runs out of the house! The eldest princess, it doesn't hurt for the old minister to teach his son, so he raised such a wicked obstacle! Today, when the old minister came, he would put this rebel son in the court and let the eldest princess punish him heavily! ”

As soon as these words fell, he gasped again, coughed violently, and his wrinkled pale face instantly turned red from coughing.

Sihan looked at him quietly and sighed secretly.

I haven't seen him for a few years, except for the wrinkles on his face and the gray hair on his head, there has not changed much, and the biggest change is that Lao Yuehou no longer has the vigor of the past, but on the contrary, desolate, sad and angry, like the desolation of the last years of the wind and candles, giving people an indescribable powerlessness and even helplessness.

Qingshan's absurd matters over the years, she also saw it in her eyes, she respected the old Yuehou, because she didn't punish Qingshan too much, it seems that this old Yuehou is reasonable and knows it in her heart.

At this point, Sihan was silent for a moment, then eased his throat and said in a low voice: "Lao Yuehou will get up first." ”

As soon as these words fell, Lao Yuehou was indifferent, still kneeling.

Sihan slowly turned his eyes and said in a low voice to the eunuch beside him: "Help Lao Yue Hou get up and sit down." ”

The eunuch nodded respectfully, and then led someone to help Lao Yuehou up from the ground, and finally sat on the stool that the palace slave sent into the hall in time.

"The old minister is ashamed of the first emperor and the eldest princess, how can he sit." Lao Yuehou was still struggling, his face full of sadness.

Sihan sighed secretly and said in a low voice: "The person who has passed is Yue Hou, and it has nothing to do with Lao Yue Hou." Lao Yue waited to sit down. ”

Seeing Sihan speak again, Lao Yuehou finally settled down a little, did not struggle anymore, just looked at Sihan, and continued: "In this life, although Lao Chen has this son alone, he is usually too doting, so that he is embarrassed by not learning and not knowing. Lao Chen also thought that although this rebel son does not learn and has no skills, as long as he does not cause trouble, it is good to settle down, but this rebel dares to ruin the name of the eldest princess, and even more dares to disobey the order of the eldest princess. The old minister was really angry, although his heart was painful, but he must also be escorted to the court, and the eldest princess was punished heavily. In this way, the old minister can be regarded as having a clear conscience, and he no longer has to be afraid of this rebel, and he is relieved. Lao Yuehou raised his voice, and the anger on his face was a little intense, but also a little desolate.

How did she get angry or even disappointed to kill her relatives so righteously, Sihan didn't know, but she knew that when she was stubborn and had no manners and etiquette that a princess should have, her father was also furious, but he was also heartbroken, and finally couldn't help but send her to the national teacher, and entered the road with the national teacher to cultivate on the mountain.

It's just that when the past comes into her eyes and recalls, she also pays some attention to the anger of Lao Yuehou, and suddenly realizes that this unbeatable and bad Qingshan is not the stubborn and even troublesome she was back then.

Thinking about it, in the dark, she spared Qingshan several times, and there was a reason for respecting the old Yuehou, perhaps, I also felt that this Qingshan was very similar to her back then, and it was a soft-hearted forgiveness.

At this point, Sihan's eyes gradually drifted away a little, and then he turned his eyes to look at Qingshan, and said in a low voice: "Old Yue Hou said so, Yue Hou, do you have something to say?" ”

Qingshan knelt stiffly on the spot, his head lowered, the robe on his body was wrinkled, how could he have the slightest arrogance of the day.

He didn't speak immediately, and after a while, he gradually raised his head to look at Sihan, and his face that was usually white and pure looked dull and yellow at this time.

"Wechen is at fault." He let out a low voice, his voice a little numb and heavy for the time being.

Sihan had never seen such a Qingshan, and when these words came into his ears, he was slightly shocked in his heart for a while, and this shock was tantamount to a cracked sky, and he was shocked.

I have to say, this invincible Qingshan, is it possible, it really suddenly changed his personality and suddenly opened his mind?

At this point, Sihan's face became more and more mixed.

At this moment, Qingshan kowtowed to her respectfully, and said solemnly: "Weichen, as a Yue Hou, has never done a thing to glorify his ancestors, but he caused trouble for my father, wronged the Hou Mansion, and even disobeyed the order of the eldest princess and abandoned my Donglin law. Weichen, he knows that he is guilty, if the eldest princess wants to be punished, Weichen has nothing to say. ”

It's not as babbling as before, it's not as pleading as in the past, sleek and presumptuous, the Qingshan at this time, numb and heavy, sad and resolute, every word and deed is all a side that Sihan has never seen.

Sihan looked at him with complicated eyes, pressed his heart, and asked not deep or shallow: "Yue Hou has admitted his mistakes a few times in front of this palace, but now this time, Yue Hou admits his mistakes, but is he sincere?" ”

Qingshan said numbly: "In the past, Weichen did have no fear, but the day before yesterday, the eldest princess woke up Weichen. As a courtier of the country, but he does not serve the country, and even disgraces the eldest princess and the Hou Mansion, such as Weichen is such a disloyal and unrighteous person, unvirtuous and bad person, the eldest princess is to resign from the official position of Weichen, and ask for the life of Weichen, Weichen, and there is no complaint. ”

Lao Yuehou coughed beside him, exhausted, his brows furrowed together, angry, and resolute, but his pupils were circulating on Qingshan's body, and he couldn't help but overflow a little distress.

The courtiers in the hall also watched one after another, and no one interjected.

Sihan stared at Qingshan a few times with deep eyes, then moved his gaze slightly, looked at the surrounding ministers, and said in a low voice: "Yue Hou specially came to ask for guilt, my lords, do you have any comments or suggestions?" ”

As soon as these words fell, the ministers looked at each other, but no one answered.

The atmosphere in the hall also fell silent and depressing.

Sihan looked at the ministers coldly, and his face gradually turned cold.

Qingshan still stiffened and knelt, not glancing at the ministers.

Such a depressing and heavy atmosphere lasted for a long time, and then, Zhan Wenyi, who had been standing aside without speaking, took two steps forward, bowed respectfully to Sihan, and said slowly: "Eldest princess, Weichen has something to say." ”
