Chapter 220 Say, Princess Qi
As soon as Liu Qingyan said this, everyone present was surprised, and then whispered.
"What? What did she just say about Song Jingchen? Did I hear me right? ”
"Didn't Song Jingchen have been given death by the emperor a long time ago, but the fire in his home was burned to death? His body has already been found and scattered! ”
"This Princess Qi shouldn't be talking nonsense, right? Can she be believed? ”
"Would you rather believe it than believe it? Anyway, she also solved a lot of cases at the beginning, and she worked hard to ......"
The emperor frowned, presumably hearing those whispers. He frowned, and his majestic voice sounded at this time: "Shut up!" What does it look like to be noisy? ”
For a moment, everyone present obediently closed their mouths and refused to say anything more.
The emperor looked at Liu Qingyan: "You just said that this is Song Jingchen's handwriting, how are you sure?" ”
Liu Qingyan saluted and said: "If you go back to the emperor, Song Jingchen used to work under my father's door, and I had a lot of contact with him, and later I also met Song Jingchen a few times, so I have such an impression." ”
The emperor frowned and said, "Then you have to be sure, Princess Qi." Because the current Song Jingchen is a dead man. ”
His meaning is very obvious - if what Liu Qingyan said is true, then there are too many secrets that need to be revealed, maybe those secrets are not something that Liu Qingyan can bear alone, or perhaps, even the emperor can't believe what Liu Qingyan said now.
"Your Majesty, since Princess Qi said so, there must be definite evidence." Nangong Yi walked out and said.
The emperor looked at Nangong Yi and frowned: "Tell me, little general, how do you know that Princess Qi has definite evidence?" At the beginning, I saw Song Jingchen's corpse with my own eyes! Can't you say that I was blinded in the first place? ”
Nangong Yuandao in the crowd panicked for a while, stepped up his steps, pushed aside everyone and stepped forward, grabbed Nangong Yi's arm, and dragged him behind him. Nangong saluted the emperor from afar: "Your Majesty, please be sure to calm your anger!" Yi Er is still young, and she said wildly, if there is anything that offends the emperor, please ask the emperor to punish Weichen alone! ”
"Punish you? Nangong is far away, you didn't say anything, and besides, you also cultivated a good son. The emperor sneered and said.
"Your Majesty is joking, no matter how Yi Er is, she is definitely not as good as His Royal Highness the Prince. What's more, Yi'er is nothing. Nangong said from afar, almost sweating profusely.
The emperor no longer looked at him, but looked at Liu Qingyan: "Tell me what is going on." ”
After a pause, the emperor added, "What do you think, why do you dare to tell me like this that this is Song Jingchen's handwriting?" If you dare to say this, it means that you have long suspected that Song Jingchen did not die, and now it is time for you to explain. ”
Liu Qingyan frowned and looked at the emperor, when the emperor spoke, she thought, this emperor is not a stupid person, as soon as he heard Liu Qingyan say that, he thought of a lot of possibilities.
So what should she say to the emperor? The emperor gave her the task of investigating Nangong Hui's affairs, and occasionally asked her if she had any information, but most of the time, Liu Qingyan chose to keep the emperor's affairs about Song Jingchen a secret. First, Liu Qingyan was unwilling to startle the snake; Second, Liu Qingyan wanted to find out everything together and slowly report it all to the emperor.
But now that the emperor asks so, if Liu Qingyan doesn't say it, it will be regarded as a real disrespect.
"Your Majesty, I ......" Liu Qingyan moved her lips, and for a while she felt that her thoughts were a little confused, and she didn't know how to organize her language, and she didn't know how to say it, which was the most correct.
"You just say that I have a lot of patience, and if you don't say it, maybe you won't be able to do this Jingfu Yin in the future." The emperor's tone was light, but his words were extremely indifferent, categorical, and could not be ignored.
Liu Qingyan frowned and glanced at Lu Siguan beside her. Lu Siguan was also frowning and looking at her, he didn't expect the incident to be such a development, which was really a bit unexpected by him. And under the emperor's mood at this time, he really has no choice.
"Say it, Princess Qi." The Emperor made a gesture to listen carefully to what she had to say.
At this moment, a sharp shout suddenly sounded over there: "Your Majesty! Oh no! Oh no! ”
The emperor frowned again and looked over: "Who is yelling there?" What's good and bad? Bring it to me! It's just audacious! ”
The guards led a eunuch who was shouting in front of the emperor, and the eunuch looked very panicked, and when he saw the emperor, he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times: "The emperor has atoned for his sins!" The emperor atoned for his sins! The minions didn't mean to do so! ”
"Then tell me what's wrong." The Emperor rubbed his forehead.
"Yes, it's ......," the eunuch swallowed, "It's Concubine Duan Niangniang and Guifei Niangniang, the two of them quarreled over there!" They, the two of them are fighting! ”
"What?" The Emperor was stunned.
The eunuch hurriedly lowered his body: "Your Majesty, this matter is really not good, and the slaves don't know what to do......
"Take me to see it!" The emperor lowered his face, turned away, and stopped asking Liu Qingyan about Song Jingchen for a while. In his opinion, it is more important to have his own harem in the end.
After the emperor left again, Liu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, and her body was a little soft.
Lu Siguan stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her waist and sighed: "Why did you say such a sentence?" The emperor will definitely ask to the end, especially if he believes that Song Jingchen is dead. ”
"I didn't expect it, I just didn't control myself for a while," Liu Qingyan smiled apologetically at him, "Lu Siguan, were you also nervous just now?" ”
"If I hadn't nervous you just now, I guess you'd have to think about remarrying." Lu Siguan didn't have a good airway.
His beloved woman was questioned by the emperor like that, could he not be worried? Maybe the next second will be an execution, and you have to watch the beloved woman lose everything, and even more so she can't even save her life......
Lu Siguan recalled, his heart was almost jumping out of his throat just now.
But now that the situation has eased temporarily, the emperor has led the royal family to see Concubine Duan and Concubine Du Guifei who are fighting, and the corpses on the ground have been arranged for people to come and deal with them.
Nangong Yuandao also led his pair of children away, Nangong Yi was forcibly taken away, and Nangong Hui ...... Her mind was all on the prince, and when she saw the prince leave with the emperor, she naturally wouldn't continue to stay here, especially when she had to face Liu Qingyan and Lu Siguan when she stayed here.
"That'...... Do we need to follow the emperor to take a look now? Liu Qingyan asked.
Lu Siguan shook his head very lightly: "You don't have to follow." A lot of things have happened today, and it is estimated that the emperor is already busy, and now is really not a good opportunity to disturb him. ”
After a pause, he sighed: "The two of us go back to rest first, and you can sort out your wording." Now that the emperor knows about Song Jingchen, he will definitely ask you to explain to him. And how you explain it is something that needs to be prepared. You see, just now, didn't you just say anything because you were so nervous? ”
Liu Qingyan nodded: "I see." I'll be well prepared. ”
She didn't want to be excluded from the "trustworthy person" by the emperor because of Song Jingchen's incident, and even affected Lu Siguan with such harm. She hoped that everything was fine with Lu Siguan.
Lu Siguan nodded slightly, and rubbed Liu Qingyan's head very lightly: "Okay, let's go back first." It is estimated that later, when the emperor is busy with the things at hand, he will take the initiative to come to us. ”
Liu Qingyan said "um", and then asked, "Will the emperor really take the initiative to come to us for such a thing?" Instead of summoning the two of us to the past? ”
"Because he values Song Jingchen's matter very much." Lu Siguan said softly.
"It's because it's about Fanbang, isn't it?" Liu Qingyan asked, "It's as if Princess Ruocheng had an accident, and the emperor is so concerned, maybe not only because he dotes on Princess Ruocheng, but also because ...... If Princess Cheng is the one who wants to marry the prince of Fanbang, isn't that the case? ”
The emperor's greatest concern seems to have always been about the relationship between states, rather than the emotions between people. Maybe this is the emperor, right? Feelings are never as good as benefits.
Lu Siguan didn't speak, and took Liu Qingyan back to the courtyard where the two of them were resting.
As Lu Siguan expected, after the two of them had lunch, the emperor really found the two of them's courtyard, with only two guards by his side.
He walked into the courtyard, his frowning brows did not stretch for a moment: "Can you say it now?" Princess Qi? ”
Liu Qingyan was slightly stunned and looked at the emperor.
Two guards were placed outside the door, and all the subordinates in the courtyard were held back by him. The Emperor sat down at the table and said in a deep voice, "You really shouldn't have said at that time, that there have always been many people around me who could not be trusted. The best thing is that it's just the three of us, like now. In this way, Princess Qi, you will be able to talk to me about Song Jingchen. ”
After a pause, the Emperor continued, "Actually, I already knew the news that Song Jingchen was still alive. ”
