Master Geng, Li Junshou and others were driven out and waited outside the hall, although they couldn't hear what the emperor was saying in the hall, but they could see the eunuchs of Jinzhong come out and order a bunch of eunuchs to do things, and saw the eunuchs coming back with a box, and some officials were standing outside the hall waiting.

These officials, Master Geng and the others, didn't recognize it, but Li Junshou did, which once again confirmed the guess, his heart beat faster, and the more worried he looked at the palace.

Then there was a louder movement in the hall, such as something smashing on the ground and the emperor's scolding.

Li Junshou was frightened when he listened, and Master Geng and the others became more and more stable, and they looked at each other from time to time and smiled lightly.

And farther away from the main hall, there were eunuchs who came to visit from time to time, and when they saw the atmosphere here and heard the movement in the hall, they cautiously ran away again.

At this time, it was almost evening, the early summer was long, and the palace where the virtuous concubine was located was open and bright, full of men and women, including harem concubines and concubines, and childish little county lords, talking and laughing in a joyful atmosphere.

It's just that in this joy, there is always a trace of anxiety that shines through their eyes from time to time.

A eunuch ran in as if he was flying, ran to Concubine Xian's side, leaned over and whispered a few words, and the smiling Concubine Xian's brows furrowed.

Seeing her like this, everyone else stopped laughing, and the crown princess also asked the little princess to pick her up.

Concubine Xian is the biological mother of the second prince, here he is more casual, the second prince took the initiative to ask: "Mother concubine, how is the father and the emperor?" ”

Concubine Xian's personality is like a title, she treats people kindly, knowing that everyone is absent-minded at this time, she remembers the emperor who said that she was coming over, so she said: "Your Majesty's things seem to be quite big, and you are still losing your temper." ”

The crown princess couldn't help it, and asked the second prince and the others: "Who is the father and the emperor?" Glancing at the young man sitting among the princes, "Ah Xuan was interrupted when he came back, is it an important court?" ”

The second prince and the fourth prince have never spoken much, and they don't even open their mouths about this kind of thing, shaking their heads and saying that they don't know.

The fifth prince grinned: "It's not an important court matter, I just heard my father scold me nonsense." He gloated, "Someone must be in trouble." ”

If you can provoke trouble in front of the emperor, it is not an ordinary person.

"Probably something to do with the Iron Mask General." The young man, who had not spoken all this time, spoke.

As soon as he spoke, everyone's eyes fell on him, and the afterglow of the setting sun made the young man's face shine.

He has long eyebrows and a straight nose, and his facial features are handsome, and he is not inferior in the slightest among the three princes.

Looking at him, Concubine Xian's eyebrows and eyes were more kind, and he was a little trance-like, Zhou Xuan looked very similar to his father, but at this time, the warmth of the scholar had faded, and his eyebrows and eyes were sharp - joining the army and reading are different.

"That Xiaowei was given to the Iron Mask General by His Majesty." Zhou Xuan continued, "But when I came back, everything was stable in Qi Kingdom, and there was no problem. ”

The eunuch added on the side: "There are no soldiers waiting outside the palace, but there are many people from the family. ”

That should have nothing to do with the war, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, the fifth prince became more and more curious and pouted Zhou Xuan: "You go to your father's place to have a look, anyway, your father won't scold you." ”

Zhou Xuan seemed to be really moved, and Concubine Xian hurriedly stopped: "Don't mess around, Your Majesty has important matters over there, and they are all waiting here." ”

The fifth prince also said that if Zhou Xuan didn't go, of course he wouldn't touch his head.

At this time, the people waiting outside the palace, after hearing something kicked over and the emperor's scolding, the eunuch Jinzhong opened the door of the palace, and the emperor announced them to come in.

Li Junshou's face was very bad, but Master Geng and the others were not afraid, and after scolding Chen Danzhu, it was time to appease them, they straightened their clothes, whispered two words to their wives and daughters to pay attention to their manners, and went in together.

Chen Danzhu was still kneeling in the hall, and there were two little eunuchs who were picking up things scattered on the ground with their heads down, and Master Geng and the others glanced at it, as they guessed, the document boxes were smashed on the ground by the emperor, and then looked at the emperor standing in front of the dragon chair, his face was gloomy, and it could be seen how angry he was-

"Your Majesty is angry—" Master Geng saluted.

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor: "How can I calm my anger! You've only been in Zhangjing for a long time, and you've been causing trouble everywhere! ”

Ay? Master Geng and the others were breathing, why did the emperor scold them? Don't panic, this is anger, referring to Sang scolding Huai, but in fact, he is still scolding Chen Danzhu-

"I'm guilty." They hurriedly knelt down.

"Indeed, you are guilty." The emperor's voice was as cold as his gaze, "When you come to Xinjing, you don't say that you act in peace and show the demeanor of the old Jingshi clan, but instead indulge the children of your family to wander around and fly high, is it that I haven't been in Xijing for many days, you have all changed, or have you come to this Xinjing and revealed your true colors?" ”

This is really scolding them, the scolding is still very serious, Master Geng and the others felt a chill in their hearts, it's over, this time they really knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty." Someone boldly raised his head and argued, "Your Majesty, have I waited-"

The emperor shouted, "No? Didn't fight? Didn't fight much in front of me? Stretching out his hand and pointing at them, "You are so old that you can't even manage your own children and grandchildren, and you still want me to discipline you?" ”

It's not that they can't control it, it's because Chen Danzhu made trouble in front of His Majesty, and it has nothing to do with them, Master Geng and the others were flustered: "Your Majesty, the matter-"

"I don't want to hear about it." The emperor said coldly, "If you are not used to being here, then go back to Xijing." ”

Banish! Master Geng and the others were cold, and they didn't dare to speak more, they leaned over to the ground, and their voices and bodies trembled together: "We are guilty." ”

The emperor didn't ask them about their sins again, and looked at Li Junshou.

"Li Junshou." He said coldly, "If you can't even deal with this case, you should go home early and don't do it." ”

Li Junshou straightened up and saluted heavily: "The minister is guilty!" ”

The emperor looked at these people kneeling in the hall, and shouted angrily: "Get down." ”

Ah Tian was in a daze while looking outside the palace, the last ray of light in the sky also fell, the night began to cover the earth, and now the bruises on her face also rose, but she didn't feel the slightest pain, tears kept rolling in her eyes, but she couldn't hold back, and finally a group of people appeared in her sight, past those men, supporting each other women, she saw the girl walking at the end - walking! Not escorted by janissaries.

"Miss." Ah Tian choked up, tears raining down.

Chen Danzhu walked at the end, and her steps looked very comfortable, but it was actually because she knelt for too long, and her legs were stiff and her knees hurt-

But since she is no longer in front of the emperor, she doesn't need to pretend to be pitiful, but to see the pity of others.

So she walked slowly at the end, watching Master Geng and the others lose their souls with a smile on her face.

Until I heard Ah Tian's shout - it turned out that she had already walked to the gate of the palace, her tense body couldn't help but pause, and her raised foot suddenly fell to the ground in pain, and she stumbled, but she didn't fall, and a hand next to her reached out to support her arm.

Chen Danzhu looked over: "Lord County Guard." She took advantage of her strength to stand firm, "Do you want to go to the county guard mansion to continue questioning the case later?" ”

Li Junshou let go: "Yes, the case has not yet been decided." "Say goodbye to Chen Danzhu and salute him.

Chen Danzhu was stunned, and Li Junshou didn't say anything after saluting, turned around and strode away.

Chen Danzhu pursed his lips, quickened his pace, and smiled at the servant girl A Tian who ushered in.

She smiled and said, "Ah Tian—Your Majesty scolded them for me." ”

Ah Tian caught Chen Danzhu's hand and cried and shouted: "These bad people should be scolded!" It's pitiful that Miss is being bullied by them. ”

Master Geng and the others, who were walking in front, stumbled and almost fell down when they heard this, looking angry, but they were afraid when they looked at the majestic palace behind them, and they didn't dare to refute it.

The people who gathered outside the palace gate to watch the excitement heard Chen Danzhu's words, and then saw the depressed and depressed appearance of Master Geng and others, and they were immediately in an uproar.

Chen Danzhu really won? Even the family from Xijing can't help her? This Chen Danzhu can still be unscrupulous and domineering!
