CHAPTER XVIII

"The old man came to ask you and the others, something happened in the outer house this morning, are you all there? And saw with your own eyes the whole process of what happened? The princess asked the men.

After listening to the princess's words, Guicheng was a little displeased, which shows that he didn't fully believe what he said! It seems that the princess still doesn't regard him as her own son, otherwise, she wouldn't believe what a subordinate said, and she wouldn't believe his words! It's a little irritating to think of this.

"Back to the words of the princess! I waited in the morning to watch Hou Ye practice martial arts and fitness in the garden, and I saw everything from beginning to end! The guards and servants replied together.

When the princess heard this, she pointed to one of them: "Then you will tell the old man again about the morning!" ”

The person who was ordered was naturally Tian Keji, who was the leader, so Tian Keji immediately retold the events of the morning to the princess as it was.

As soon as the princess heard Tian Keji's words, there was no discrepancy with what Guicheng said, all the evidence showed that the morning incident was caused by Xiao Liang, and the reason why Xiao Liang was injured by the servant was also because he had murderous intent.

This time the princess was a little difficult, just now she was impatient for a while, and she didn't ask the cause of the matter, so she reprimanded Guicheng, obviously unfair, and if this matter is really as Guicheng and these guards said, Xiao Liang's behavior will be very bad.

Not to mention that it was Guicheng's childhood friend who was learning martial arts with him today, even if it was an ordinary guard, Xiao Liang couldn't draw a sword in the mansion and wanted to take other people's lives! So this matter is very unfavorable to Xiao Liang.

But the princess still didn't believe it completely, so she turned her head and said to Zheng Shi who was waiting next to her: "You brought the person who came to report the news just now, and I want to ask him personally what the situation is!" ”

It is true to say that this princess is a little confused, it is really true, the matter has come to this point, she still refuses to believe what Guicheng said, and still wants to find a favorable testimony for Xiao Liang, even Zheng Zhi, the old eunuch, feels that the princess is a little too much.

Peeked at Gui Cheng, saw that the expression on Gui Cheng's face quickly changed a few times, and then regained his composure, knowing that Gui Cheng had already disliked what the princess had done, but he had no choice but to go out and call the cronies of Xiao Liang who came to report the news just now.

This person is also a guard, as soon as he entered the inner hall, he raised his eyes and saw Guicheng standing in front of the hall and those kneeling colleagues, and he was numb.

In front of Guicheng and so many witnesses, he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and after entering the hall, this guy quickly knelt down to see the princess.

"You tell the old body what happened in the morning from beginning to end, and if you say half a lie, the old body will not spare you!" The princess asked the guy sharply.

The person who reported the news didn't dare to slack off, so he had to honestly repeat the matter again, although there was a meaning of defending Xiao Liang in his words, but he didn't dare to make up anything in front of Guicheng.

After hearing this, the princess knew that Xiao Liang was in big trouble this time, because everyone's testimony proved him to death, and today's incident can be said to be caused by him, and it is obviously a little difficult for her to defend him.

So the princess thought about it for a while, and felt that Xiao Liang shouldn't be such a reckless person! What kind of foolishness is this today, he actually did such a bastard thing, but thinking that Xiao Liang has been working in the palace for all these years, and he can be regarded as conscientious in his work, if he is disposed of like this, the palace will be somewhat sorry for him.

So the princess waved her hand and drove those guards and servants out of the inner hall, leaving only Guicheng alone.

"Guicheng! It seems that today's incident is that the old body misunderstood you and your servant, this matter should be in charge of Mr. Xiao, the old body lost his temper with you without asking clearly, Guicheng, don't take it to heart! The princess had no choice but to say soft words.

"The mother doesn't have to worry about it, and the son won't take it to heart!" Gui Cheng hurriedly replied in a calm tone, now that he has begun to mature, he knows that if there is no city government in the capital, he will not be able to mix at all.

"Although what Xiao Liang did was indeed wrong, and it was excessive, but the old man thought, the reason why he acted like this to your servant must be that there must be a hidden secret, maybe they have already had a grudge between them, and it has only happened today!

The old body is also in charge of Xiao and has been on an errand in the palace for many years, and today I want to ask for a favor for him, after all, he has also been injured by your servant, you see if you can raise your hand this time and let go of Manager Xiao once, the old body will definitely reprimand him strictly, so that he must not be so perverse in the future! "The princess actually doesn't have any bad intentions, but she is a little confused, and she doesn't know the severity of the matter, but at this time, she still wants to excuse Xiao Liang, and her kindness is a little too much.

Guicheng was even more unhappy when he heard this, if there was no sentence from Zheng Qingzhi in this matter, the princess said this, maybe he could only nod and agree, not to pursue it, and finally it was over, but now he doesn't think so, because he has Zheng Qingzhi's support behind him, and the other one, he thinks that if he doesn't use this opportunity to get rid of this Xiao Liang, and let Xiao Liang stay in the palace, then Xiao Liang is narrow-minded, and he has been in the capital for a long time, Gao Huaiyuan ended his grievances, If you can't get it right, you won't be able to fight this guy, but you'll be hurt by this guy! So today, since the matter has come to this point, he can't take half a step back, and he must expel Xiao Liang from the palace to ensure that no one dares to bully him if Gao Huaiyuan stays in the palace in the future.

He just thought so, but he didn't think about his identity and status, so after a deep groan, he mustered up the courage to reply: "Mother, listen to your son!" Although my servant Gao Huaiyuan is indeed my childhood friend, he is also a very reasonable person, which everyone can witness since he arrived in the mansion, and no matter who he is, he is respectful!

Moreover, he has only been in the palace for a few days, and he didn't know Manager Xiao before, and there was no personal grudge between the two before! So today's things are all in charge of Mr. Xiao!

I also know that Manager Xiao has been in the palace for a long time, and it is precisely this point that makes Xiao Liang proud of his achievements, and he is arrogant in front of the people in the palace and even in front of me, which caused today's incident to happen!

Although Guicheng also knows that he is not the son of his father, but since his son was chosen here, the mother concubine also thought about it, has your son ever been disrespectful to you? Son already sees himself as your own son!

Since the son is the son of the father, then here I think I should be respected as I deserve, after all, I am the owner of the outer house, but that Xiao Liang does not put the child in his eyes at all, in front of everyone, repeatedly refutes the face of the child, and today in front of the son, he wants to commit murder on the spot and kill the child's friend, such a domineering person, the child thinks that he must not be tolerated and accommodated!

If you don't blame Xiao Liang for the past today, then how can you deal with yourself in the palace in the future? If Xiao Liang is not prosecuted for the crime he committed this time, it is better to simply expel his son from the palace, and save himself this kind of insult! ”

Guicheng suddenly didn't know where he got such courage, stood up in front of the princess, and righteously rejected the princess's plea for Xiao Liang.

The princess had to re-examine the stepson in front of her with a surprised gaze, and there was a wave in her heart, she really didn't expect Guicheng to speak so sharply today, and she didn't know what to say for a while!

And what Guicheng said, she thought about it carefully, it was also reasonable, Xiao Liang in this matter, no matter what conflict he had with the surname Gao, he should not commit murder in front of Guicheng, and he still used a knife in the palace, this matter is enough to punish him, Guicheng is now also the stepson of King Yi, Xiao Liang obviously doesn't take Guicheng seriously, after all, he is just a guard, Guicheng is his master, no matter where this matter is said, Guicheng is not wrong to punish Xiao Liang.

So after the princess was stunned for a while, she didn't know what to do, and continued to maintain Xiao Liang, obviously unfair to Guicheng, for the sake of a Xiao Liang, if she forced Guicheng to be soft, it would have a great impact on Guicheng's status in the palace in the future, and everyone would be more disrespectful to Guicheng in the future, so after thinking for a while, the princess's face gradually eased.

"Guicheng, don't be angry, the old man interceded with Xiao Liang, not to complain about you, Xiao Liang did go too far in this matter, but the old body just wanted him to be in the palace for many years, and he was still conscientious in his work, and he had never made any mistakes, so the old man didn't look at the monk's face and looked at the Buddha's face, so he wanted to spare him this time!

I heard that your servant was stabbed by Xiao Liang this time, I don't know if the injury is serious or not? It seems that he is not to blame for this matter, it is the old body who blames him, but what the old body didn't expect is that Guicheng you actually have such a friend with strong kung fu, the old body is a little curious, since he will study here in the future, then if he is not seriously injured, you might as well call him and let the old body see him! After all, he was wronged in this matter! The princess's attitude also softened at this time, and she said to Guicheng with a pleasant face.

Guicheng had the courage to complain just now, and he was still a little uneasy at this time, seeing that the princess's face had turned from cloudy to clear, and her tone was much softer, and there was a hint of apology to him, so he was relieved.

Hearing this, Guicheng bowed down again and replied, "Thank you, concubine!" Although Xiao Liang has been working in the palace for many years, he must be even more aware of the seriousness of the matter, and today's incident shows that Xiao Liang is vulgar and has an impermanence temperament. Such a person who doesn't know the importance is obviously no longer suitable to continue to listen to errands in the palace! Cheng'er didn't want to pursue this matter too much, but at least he had to return him to the front of the palace! ”
