Volume 1 Origin Chapter 334 There is also a witness
Just as the reason why Concubine Yi didn't speak at this time, no matter what she said, it seemed deliberate, not to mention that Rong Ruo had a soft and slow smile between her words, which was obviously disrespectful to Concubine Lin.
The crown prince frowned, and finally couldn't help but say: "Miss Rong, please don't go too far, the mother concubine is extremely tired after being hit one after another, and you are also a child, how can you say such mean words." ”
Rong Ruo's eyelashes swept down, the corners of his mouth curved, and he silently let out a mocking smile, just about to speak, but asked Mu Beichen to take the lead, only to hear him say: "Rong Ruo is kind, why should the prince misinterpret it." ”
The prince was choked for a moment, why didn't he see where Rong Ruo's kindness came from, his eyes flickered over the spring crickets in the hall, and said to the emperor: "Father, the mother concubine is unwell, and the son will send the mother back to Yuhua Palace first." ”
Concubine Lin put her right hand on her forehead, and most of her body leaned against the prince, looking tired, most of her spirit was withdrawn, and her body looked very tired.
"Wait a minute." Rong Ruo stretched out his hand and stamped steadily in front of the prince and Concubine Lin, his eyes were half-narrowed, his afterglow was a little sharp, and he said with a chuckle: "The chanter has come, Concubine Lin Niangniang is better to finish listening to it before leaving." ”
The prince saw that Rong Ruo had fought against their mother and son three times and twice, and the so-called clay man also had three points of temperament, and he couldn't say anything about it without a little temper, so he pulled down his face at the moment and said dissatisfiedly: "Rong Ruo, in the main hall, in front of your father, don't be unforgiving, you do too much." ”
How could the prince not know Rong Ruo's move, because of this, Concubine Lin targeted her everywhere, and last night Concubine Lin privately asked someone to punish Rong Ruo, Rong Ruo must have been unconvinced, so after finding out that it was not her to do it, she deliberately did everything possible against it.
But the prince thought that Concubine Lin had suffered such a big blow, and had lost the imperial grandson and the closest maid in a row, and had already given Rong Ruo justice, Rong Ruo should not continue to entangle, but should be grateful to Dai De.
In this world, in general, the victim can only be full of gratitude for the grievances, but whenever the slightest unhappiness is revealed, it is easy for people to think that he does not know what to do, or in a popular phrase, he is already like this, what do you want?
Rong Ruo sneered at this, it was too much moral kidnapping that made the perpetrator more rampant, but he didn't know that the persecuted person might live in some shadow for the rest of his life, and let out a desperate roar every time the darkness came.
"The women don't dare." The smile on the corner of Rong Ruo's mouth narrowed up little by little, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "But the case is not over, I still hope that Concubine Lin will leave later." ”
The crown prince frowned with a pimple, and wanted to ask Rong Ruo what he meant, but Mu Beichen's cold and elegant voice was already heard behind him: "Father, there is another witness in this case, I am waiting outside the palace at this moment, please allow my father to allow his sons to summon him to come for questioning." The two of them went one after the other, and the conversation was just right, as if they had said it.
The emperor's eyelids were opened, his hand supporting the armchair and just about to get up stopped, his arm strength relaxed, and he sat back steadily, his face was not happy or angry, a dim light flashed under his eyes, and he looked at Mu Beichen and said, "What witness?" ”
The emperor didn't like it in his heart, this palace matter has already involved a Wei Imperial Doctor, a Sang Zhaoyuan, and the big palace maid next to Concubine Lin, so counting, in fact, there are people involved in three aspects, if you continue to dig deeper, you don't know who will be involved.
For the emperor, the current balance situation is what he is happy to see, and he is even more unhappy that things are going out of his control, although he has reservations about the reasons why Chun Yan murdered the crown princess, and also hides some speculation in his stomach, but he is happy to end like this, after all, it is just an unborn embryo, even if it is born, human life can be used as a game in the clash of power.
Of course, the emperor is more accustomed to control, and he can temporarily let some people go for various reasons, as long as he has not violated the emperor's bottom line, the emperor is not even willing to use the so-called truth to destroy the situation he has carefully managed.
However, when Mu Beichen and Rong Ruo tore open a layer of curtains on the surface of the case, intending to reopen the bloody picture to everyone's eyes, the emperor's tone was already dissatisfied, which could be regarded as a hint of coercion: "The case is over, what other witnesses are there?" ”
Under this strong coercion, Mu Beichen's tone remained unchanged, and he said unhurriedly: "Naturally, I stood up to prove that Chun Jiao was not the mastermind, and the mastermind had other witnesses from others, and at this moment, this person was here, standing among us." The wind swept away, and everyone was startled again.
Concubine Yi had already stood up and looked at her frequently, but she still didn't have time to stop Mu Beichen from saying the above words, and she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and immediately turned her head to look at the emperor, and sure enough, she saw that the emperor's face was very dark, as if it was about to be haze before the storm.
After many years of companionship, Concubine Yi couldn't see that the emperor planned to stop it, no matter who did it, Concubine Yi knew that it couldn't be a spring cricket, and no matter which one it was, the emperor hoped that Sang Zhaoyuan was the finale, in the end.
Concubine Yi's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, her eyes flashed, and she glanced at Concubine Jin who was sitting there without moving, in fact, she believed that the emperor must have suspected Concubine Jin, so she didn't want the case to continue. tower
Concubine Jin is the fifth princess of Xiliang, the half-sister of the Xiliang Emperor, but I heard that the relationship between the two is very good, in the first miscarriage of Jin Guifei, it was also when the Xiliang Emperor first ascended the throne, he once let out the words, if the five princesses of Xiliang have any accidents in Zhao, they will raise their hooves and whip and sweep Dazhao.
Regardless of whether Emperor Xiliang will do that seriously, it can also be seen that the backer behind Concubine Jin is very solid and deep, so under normal circumstances, the emperor will not move her easily.
For Concubine Yi, she has thought of many ways to stumble on Concubine Jin, she almost succeeded in the chrysanthemum garden before, I don't know how Rong Ruo intervened to make her fail, but Concubine Yi will never fight against Concubine Jin in front of the emperor, after all, she plays a petite little woman who never understands the world and only admires the emperor.
But Mu Beichen's words have already been spoken, there is no room for water recycling, he does not avoid facing the emperor's twilight gaze, the two are-for-tat, and they don't look like father and son at all.
"But...... The spring crickets have all admitted to poisoning and murder, where did the witnesses come from? Concubine Jin broke through the emperor and Mu Beichen, and no one let anyone look at each other more like a secret competition, and she resolved it in a gentle manner: "Your Majesty, it's better to listen, these two children were greatly wronged yesterday." ”
When Concubine Jin said this, it seemed that the emperor had saved them from being unreasonable because of his compassion for Rong Ruo, and also gave the emperor a step down, Rong Ruo couldn't help but want to give a thumbs up, high, this is called the art of speaking.
Rong Ruo glanced at Mu Beichen, how can it be like some people, either they don't speak, or they choke to death, so they can't give his father a little face, after all, they are emperors, and they want face.
Speaking of which, the prince had no choice but to help Concubine Lin sit down, and then personally poured a cup of hot tea sent by the palace maid and put it in the palm of Concubine Lin's hand.
As soon as the teacup was held, suddenly there was a cold wind in the hall, Concubine Lin reflexively looked up, and saw that the door of the hall was opened at some point, and the woman with the light on her back walked in slowly step by step like an autumn lotus.
"Jingle Bell-" The tea lid and the teacup collided together, overflowing a little hot tea, Concubine Lin lowered her eyes, put the teacup back on the table, and took a handkerchief to wipe the tea soup that had been splashed on the back of her hand.
"What's wrong with the concubine?" When the prince heard the voice, he immediately asked.
After Concubine Lin finished wiping it, she tidied up her clothes and sleeves in front of her, raised her eyes and said, "The tea is too hot, I'll drink it later." ”
When the two were talking, the woman was already kneeling in the center of the hall, kneeling to the emperor to say goodbye, her voice was like a stream, and she was frustrated: "Courtier Sun Jingyu, bow to the emperor, the emperor is ...... Sheng'an"
I'm afraid that everyone present, except for Mu Beichen, didn't expect that the so-called witness was Sun Jingyu, the eldest daughter of Sun Qian, a palace scholar.
There was also a hint of consternation in Rong Ruo's eyes, Mu Beichen only told her that she had found a key witness, but she didn't expect it to be Sun Jingyu, especially Sun Jingyu in front of her, although she could see that her clothes had been sorted out when she entered the palace, she could see that her clothes were stained with dust and dirt, and there was a long mark of sharp weapons on the hem of her clothes, and there was even a faint trace of blood at the bottom of her left sleeve......
Rong Ruo looked at Sun Jingyu's face again, her plain face was not dyed with powder, her fair face was dyed with a smear of ash, the scroll in her eyebrows was swept away, and she became a little pale in response in the empty valley, her eyes were uneasy, and there was even a kind of ruthlessness in seeing death as home, as if she was in a ruined boat, nothing could make her nostalgic again.
"This is the scripture singer invited by the two of you, it's too nonsense, even this palace can recognize her, she is the daughter of Sun University, what kind of scripture singer is it." Concubine Yi deliberately did not use the word witness, but easily aroused the topic with Rong Ruo's statement.
Rong Ruo stood three steps away from Sun Jingyu, half-lowered her eyes, and said with a smile of interest: "Concubine Yi Niangniang is a little restless, whether she sings well or not, you will know later." ”
Concubine Yi raised her slender willow eyebrows: "Imperial Concubine, what do you think?" ”
When Concubine Jin saw Sun Jingyu, countless thoughts quickly passed in her mind, but none of them could stay for a long time, in the face of Concubine Yi's temptation, Concubine Jin's phoenix eyes glanced at her, and said: "Miss Sun is knowledgeable, plays the piano and chess, and is a good child." ”
Before the winter solstice garden party, Concubine Jin Guifei recruited several officials to the fourth grade and above boudoir daughters into the palace, one to see the character and appearance, and the other to read the belly bearing, for a few of them were very impressed, at that time I felt that Sun Jingyu's appearance was not amazing, but it was rare to have a calm bearing, a degree of advance and retreat, or to the prince as a side concubine, in the future as the lord of the palace, on weekdays to persuade the prince, it is enough.
Mu Beichen stood two steps away from Sun Jingyu, frowned, and reminded lightly: "Miss Sun, what you said to this king before, you can say it again now." ”
