Shen's eyes flickered, but he adjusted his mood in an instant.

She took a deep breath and said softly, "Sister Chen, I'll help you." ”

Shen personally picked up the luxurious and delicate Jiuzhai crown, then stood up, put the bead crown on her head with his own hands, and adjusted it carefully, the solemn action was like putting on a battle armor for the general.

Chu Qianchen sat there obediently, motionless, looking as well-behaved as he looked.

After Shen Shi said "Okay", Chu Qianchen got up elegantly and said with a smile: "Mother, wait for me to come back." ”

Shen Shi also smiled, his eyes softened, "Well, my mother is waiting for you." ”

Chu Qianchen left with Jiang Yuan, leaving Amber in the palace.

Gonggong Ni had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, for fear that Chu Qianchen would refuse to come out in the palace, so he would be in trouble. He didn't dare to trespass into King Chen's mansion, so he could only go to the emperor empty-handed.

When Gonggong Ni wanted to urge the little chamberlain to knock on the door again, the door of King Chen's Mansion opened from the inside, and a vermilion wheel slowly drove out from inside, with the guards of the palace on both sides of the vermilion wheel.

After the Zhulun drove out of the gate, Father-in-law Ni took a few steps forward and said to the people in the carriage with a smile: "See the princess." ”

The next moment, a slender white hand opened the corner of the curtain, revealing half of its delicate face.

The girl's skin is as white as snow, and her red lips are as vermilion, which is glamorous.

She just glanced at Grandpa Ni, and her cold eyes seemed to see through his thoughts.

Immediately, she lowered the curtain again without saying a word.

Gonggong Ni was relieved, she was indeed Princess Chen, and she couldn't be wrong.

Gonggong Ni hurriedly ordered: "Go back to the palace!" ”

So, the group set out on the road.

Along the way, there were not only the guards of the palace accompanying the Zhulun chariot, but also the Jinyi guards to open the way, as if they were afraid that someone would "rob the prison".

With the Jinyi Wei opening the way, this way, they were like no one, and they arrived at the palace a quarter of an hour earlier than usual.

Ni Gonggong's heart has been up and down, and seeing Chu Qianchen get out of the carriage at the gate of the palace, he can be regarded as completely relieved.

"Princess, please."

Father-in-law Ni was polite, but he was contemptuous in his heart, looking at Chu Qianchen's gaze as if he was looking at a dead man.

The emperor wants to settle old accounts today, and the fate of Princess Chen can be imagined.

Gonggong Ni personally led Chu Qianchen to the Heart Cultivation Palace, attracting the attention of many palace people along the way.

From a distance, I saw more than a dozen people waiting outside the imperial study, including civil ministers and military generals, as well as clan nobles, whispering one by one.

They all hurried into the palace after hearing the news that King Chen's mansion was besieged, and they wanted to see the emperor, but the emperor was gone, so they could only wait here.

Everyone present was a well-known figure in the court, and Chu Qianchen saw several familiar faces in the crowd at a glance, one of whom was Mu Guogong.

Everyone's eyes all rushed towards Chu Qianchen like a tide, including Mu Guogong, everyone had different expressions, some surprised, some thoughtful, some scrutinized, and some contemptuous......

Everyone fell silent, and forgot to speak for a moment.

Mu Guogong's eyes widened slightly, his heart was shocked, and his hands were clenched into fists in his sleeves.

He arrived two tea kung fu earlier than Chu Qianchen, but he has not been able to enter so far.

When he arrived, he inquired with these colleagues around him, Kang Hongda and the prince were still in the imperial study, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

King Chen's Mansion has been surrounded by Jinyi Guard, but the emperor has not yet taken the next move, which makes Mu Guogong more and more uneasy.

Unexpectedly, Chu Qianchen was also announced by the emperor.

What the hell does the Emperor want to do?! Mu Guogong's heart sank little by little, but he didn't dare to move, so he could only wait and see the changes first.

Chu Qianchen always had a light smile on the corner of his lips, his expression did not change in the slightest, and he followed Gonggong Ni into the imperial study.

Seeing Chu Qianchen's slender back disappear behind the door curtain, Mu Guogong's expression became more and more solemn, and the bottom of his eyes was like a bottomless sea, and the dark tide was surging.

He can't wait here.

Mu Guogong suddenly said: "Why did the emperor announce that Princess Chen is here?!" ”

He seemed to be asking, and he seemed to be sighing, and he shook his head slightly in disagreement.

Several cabinet ministers beside him also heard and looked at each other.

The emperor's move is really inappropriate, King Chen is not in Beijing, what is the matter with the emperor announcing a female dependent of Princess Chen into the palace? !

Wenchen was okay, but those generals were all indignant, filled with righteous indignation, and said in a gossipy manner:

"yes!"

"Even if His Royal Highness King Chen really commits something, the emperor will summon His Royal Highness King Chen back to confront him."

"That's right, one yard is one yard, even if the emperor has any dissatisfaction with King Chen, what is the reason for targeting women!"

“……”

The generals became more and more excited, and many of them turned red.

Seeing that the crowd was angry, Shoufu secretly said that it was not good, and said to the little waiter who was guarding outside the imperial study: "Father-in-law Wen, please help the old man pass it on." ”

The little chamberlain surnamed Wen didn't dare to refuse the head of the cabinet, so he could only go in hard.

In the imperial study, the atmosphere was stagnant and oppressive, and there was an unknown scent of smoke wafting in the air.

Chu Qianchen walked over unhurriedly, seemingly not squinting, but his eyes were looking at the few people in the imperial study without a trace.

The emperor, Gu Nanjin and Chu Lingxiao are all there, and in addition, there is a strange man in his thirties with an extraordinary bearing.

The four of them had different expressions.

Chu Qianchen had never seen Kang Hongda, but she had already heard about Kang Hongda being announced into the palace, and immediately guessed the identity of this strange man.

The emperor looked at Chu Qianchen with gloomy eyes, not angry and arrogant.

Chu Qianchen always smiled slightly, walked forward slowly, and saluted the emperor behind the imperial case.

"Courtiers see the emperor."

Her demeanor is decent, and her every move is as if measured by a ruler, not only makes people unable to find faults, but also indescribably good-looking, noble and elegant, graceful and feminine.

Kang Hongda sat leisurely on a circle chair by the window, casually shaking the folding fan.

He glanced at Chu Qianchen casually, and felt that these so-called ladies were all the same, and they were very boring.

The emperor looked at Chu Qianchen fixedly, didn't speak at first, and tried to put pressure on Chu Qianchen with silence.

Chu Qianchen stood there calmly, calm and relaxed.

She knew that the emperor would definitely announce himself into the palace.

The emperor is suspicious and arrogant, a few years ago, when the prince was in the north, the emperor did not find fault with the prince, thinking that the prince would be a master and support the army.

He obviously saw that the prince was unhappy, but he still had to cover his ears and stand with the so-called righteousness, for fear that he would become a tyrant who had been stinking for thousands of years.

Finally, the emperor asked in a cold tone: "King Gu Jue committed the crime of rebellion, do you know it?!" ”

The emperor's eyes were as sharp as a sword, shining with a light that was bound to be won.

This time, he will make Gu Jue completely unable to turn over.

Only with conclusive evidence can he make the Manchu civil and military have nothing to say.

He wants Gu Jue to be spurned by the world and leave a stench for 10,000 years.

Chu Lingxiao wanted to speak, but the emperor looked at him coldly, he just closed his mouth and tried to look at Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianchen pursed his lips and was silent.

She lowered her face slightly, and the corners of her lips curled almost invisibly at an angle that the emperor and Chu Lingxiao could not see.

That letter was specially prepared by Chu Qianchen for the emperor and Chu Lingxiao.

Even if Chu Lingxiao didn't say that the letter was given to him by himself, if the emperor was not stupid, he should know that King Chen's Mansion was not something that Chu Lingxiao could steal if he wanted to, she was Chu Lingxiao's daughter, and there was no doubt where that letter came from.

She gave the letter to the emperor, just to make the emperor feel that she would be the breakthrough of the Chenwang Mansion and treat her as a soft persimmon.

The emperor will naturally start with her, after all, there is no more conclusive evidence than Princess Chen's personal accusation against King Chen.

Therefore, Chu Qianchen knew from the moment Chu Lingxiao took the letter that the emperor would announce her, so she put on big makeup early and waited for someone in the palace.

To her surprise, Shen actually came.

A soft light flashed under Chu Qianchen's eyes, and his face was not visible.

The emperor didn't expect Chu Qianchen to confess immediately, his tone sank a little more, and he threatened: "Gu Jue colluded with Qin Yao, the prince of Nanyang, with the intention of rebellion, this is an unforgivable crime and a capital crime that will cause trouble!" ”

"If you don't tell him, you're guilty with him!"

Chu Qianchen was still silent.

The emperor first coerced and then seduced, and then said: "I remember that the Chu family has been loyal to the monarch for generations, and the noble concubine has served the monarch for many years, I can give you a chance to 'clear up the relationship', as long as you atone for your sins, I will not blame you." ”

The emperor slightly increased the volume in the four words "Leave it aside", and almost said that he could allow her to reconcile with Gu Jue, looking magnanimous.

Chu Lingxiao's eyes lit up in an instant.

For him, it would be great if Chu Qianchen and Gu Jue could reconcile, and he would be able to completely break off the relationship with King Chen's Mansion.

Chu Lingxiao looked at Chu Qianchen with burning eyes, if it weren't for the imperial study, he would have yelled at Chu Qianchen.

What else is there to hesitate about this girl! What if the emperor thinks that the Chu family has a heart of disobedience......

"The Emperor's ......"

Chu Lingxiao wanted to say that Chu Qianchen had always been timid, but he didn't have a chance to say the next words, so he heard Chu Qianchen say the second sentence: "The prince is not guilty." ”

Her voice was cold and pleasant, like a clear mountain stream.

The four words surprised everyone in the imperial study, and their eyes looked at Chu Qianchen again, including Kang Hongda and Gu Nanjin.

The folding fan in Kang Hongda's hand slowed down, and a glint flashed in his long narrow eyes.

Chu Qianchen didn't care about everyone's eyes at all, and said calmly and calmly: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse!" ”

"If the emperor wants to seal the palace of the king of Chen, seal it, no one in the palace of the king of Chen will betray the prince."

She stood there gracefully, like a cold plum in the wind and snow, fearless.

Her voice was clear and cold, like a mountain stream and waterfall falling from a height, with a kind of awe-inspiring flow down three thousand feet, and the arrogance was compelling.

“……”

“……”

“……”

The atmosphere in the study suddenly became very strange.

No one expected Chu Qianchen to say such a thing.

Chu Lingxiao looked at Chu Qianchen in front of him in disbelief.

"Presumptuous!" Chu Lingxiao really wanted to slap Chu Qianchen on the cheek, "In front of the emperor, you actually spoke wild words and nonsense!" ”

What the hell is this rebel girl thinking, actually disobeying the emperor in the imperial study?!

Chu Lingxiao's pupils were full of anger, his mind was booming, and his hands were clenched into fists.

Chu Qianchen glanced at him coldly, but he smiled, which was in stark contrast to Chu Lingxiao, who was thunderous.

"Father," Chu Qianchen sighed, and said in a tone that couldn't be said to be helpless or embarrassed, "The emperor has already asked you to be a lobbyist, and I have already explained to you what I should say......

"This is my attitude, and it is also the attitude of the people in King Chen's mansion."

The implication of her words is that she has already made her attitude clear to Chu Lingxiao, whether the emperor sends someone to be a lobbyist, or announces her into the palace to question her face-to-face, it is useless.

The emperor's suspicious gaze also looked at Chu Lingxiao, and he squinted, his eyes dark. What tricks is this Chu Lingxiao playing?!

"......" Chu Lingxiao felt as if his throat was being choked, and he glared at Chu Qianchen angrily, just dumbfounded.

What Chu Qianchen said now was completely different from what she said before in King Chen's Mansion, if it weren't for Chu Lingxiao himself being the person concerned, he would have suspected that the person who lied was himself.

The incense in the corner gradually burned out, and the green smoke became fainter and fainter.

Everyone had different thoughts, and they were all thinking about who was telling the truth between Chu Lingxiao and Chu Qianchen, the father and daughter.

In this splendid and solemn imperial study, the cardamom girl is graceful and delicate like a flower, which seems out of place here.

Chu Qianchen continued to Chu Lingxiao in a firm tone: "Father, even if the prince is not in the capital, I am also from the Chenwang Mansion. ”

"I'm just a bird, and An can trap the bird in a square inch!"

Her words seemed to be said to Chu Lingxiao, but they were actually said to the emperor.

The emperor's face was as gloomy as ink, and he naturally thought of the sentence "The Bird's Nest Knows the Ambition of the Bird".

This sentence comes from "Chen She's Family" in "Historical Records", and Chen Sheke is a rebel thief!

"Smack!"

The emperor slapped his palm on the imperial case and said angrily: "Honghu, what a Honghu!" The wolf's ambition is obvious! ”

Gu Jue is a "Honghu", which simply puts the intention of rebellion on his lips!

Facing the angry emperor, a sneer appeared on Chu Qianchen's lips, "The prince is not in the capital now, so naturally you can say whatever you want." ”

"However, King Chen's Mansion is not easy to bully, even if King Chen's Mansion is dead, there is still a prince!"

Chu Qianchen said proudly, without a trace of timidity in his voice.

What a true unrepentant death! The emperor was even angrier, and when the words came to his lips, he frowned again and silenced.

"The bird's ambition to know the bird's ambition", this sentence is literal, which means that the bird's nest is trapped in a small depression, and it does not understand why the bird wants to fly to a distance of 90,000 miles.

The Chenwang Mansion is destroyed, but it is just a nest of swallows that have died, and the birds are still there!

Gu Jue is still there!

It was only at this moment that the emperor finally thought of a question.

Originally, because Gu Jue was not in the capital, and the dragons in the Chenwang Mansion were leaderless, the emperor wanted to take advantage of this incident to convict Gu Jue of treason.

However, he suddenly realized that Gu Jue's absence in the capital meant that Gu Jue was out of his control at the moment, and Gu Jue could go to the Northland at any time.

The Northland Army has always served Gu Jue as the mainstay, and the Tiger Talisman is still in Gu Jue's hands, once Gu Jue rebels, the Northland Army and the people of the Northland will inevitably respond to every call, so what should the court do? !

Even if he ordered to raid King Chen's Mansion and take down the Xuanjia Camp now, he wouldn't have the slightest obstacle to Gu Jue!

The "......" emperor seemed to have been poured a bucket of cold water on his head, and his body became stiff, like a sculpture.
