Chapter 68: The Argument Before the Temple

"I think you're talking in a dream, come on, bring Zuo Yu'er and this man to the Dragon Yin Palace." The second prince shook off Zuo Yu'er's hand in disgust, and sternly ordered the palace maids outside.

He wanted to gag Zuo Yu'er before she said everything, and he definitely couldn't expose himself.

Gu Yichen waited for her at the palace banquet for a long time, but she didn't see Bai Xiyue come back, she was faintly uneasy in her heart, the terrain in the palace was complicated, she was not familiar with it, and there were many people in the palace, who didn't have a good impression of her, thinking like this, he felt that it was too dangerous to let Bai Xiyue change clothes alone.

Then he told Dark-Six to push him out and look for him.

As soon as they went out, they saw a lot of young ladies outside, and the young lady walked towards the Dragon Yin Palace.

When they saw the regent, they all stopped, "I've seen the regent!" ”

"Where are you going?" He asked.

They had never been in contact with the Regent, but his iconic ghost mask was known to everyone, but it was one thing to know and another to speak to his face, and the ladies were already speechless.

One of the bold sons stood up and replied respectfully: "I heard that the princess regent has an accident, and she is in the Longyin Hall at this moment, and the emperor ordered all the people who participated in the palace banquet to go over, so we hurried over." ”

When he spoke, although his tone tried his best to maintain stability, but the slightly trembling voice still exposed him, after the man finished speaking, a layer of cold sweat appeared in his palms, his heart worshiped the regent, but at the same time he was afraid of contact with him, with such ambivalence, he was difficult to calm down after speaking.

But Gu Yichen didn't have the time to notice his emotions, after hearing Bai Xiyue's accident, without his orders, Dark Six pushed him away, and the speed was also visible to the naked eye, and after a while, they arrived at the Dragon Yin Palace.

There were already a lot of people inside, almost all the people who participated in the palace banquet came, and after seeing the regent coming, they all consciously gave way to a road, and the four of them stood there, Zuo Yulong cried with tears, and the man next to him didn't react, as if he was stunned and at a loss.

The clothes of the two people seemed to have been put on in a hurry, and they were extremely messy, and the fifth prince was also among them, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately guessed what was going on.

When the emperor saw Gu Yichen coming, he almost showed a gloating look, this time, his princess did this kind of thing, see how he justifies himself.

The emperor actually doesn't care about Zuo Yu'er's life or death, let alone cares about her innocence and reputation, but now he has to give Zuo Prime Minister an explanation, so Bai Xiyue must be punished, and Gu Yichen, as her husband, can hardly guarantee that there will be no suspicion of instigation, if there is evidence, this time he can be punished well.

Gu Yichen came to Bai Xiyue's side, glanced at her with his eyes, and saw that she looked calm and her dress was complete, so he didn't say anything and stayed by her side silently.

"Now that everyone is here, you can tell the ins and outs of the matter, and I will definitely judge fairly."

When the emperor saw that everyone was almost here, he said in a loud voice, he seemed to be in a very good mood now, and the words he said were contaminated with joy.

After hearing the emperor's words, Zuo Yu'er stopped crying, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, the princess regent framed me, and she did anything to ruin my innocence, and she used such vicious means in the palace, shouldn't such a person be executed immediately." ”

Zuo Yu'er said that she was pitiful, her emotions were too excited, and when she spoke, she dropped her cloak a little, revealing the blue spots on her neck, coupled with his somewhat bewitching face and messy hair, she really looked like the victim's side.

After listening to his description, the emperor was even happier in his heart, and he couldn't wait to convict Bai Xiyue immediately, but so many people watched, and he couldn't help but give her a chance to argue, so he said to Bai Xiyue in the same tone: "Princess Regent, what she said is true. ”

Only then did everyone look at her, only to see that she looked calm and did not have the slightest panic.

"Back to the emperor, I don't know what Zuo Yuer said, but the courtiers have another thing to report. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" The emperor opened his mouth and asked, she didn't admit it was expected, so he didn't rush to let Bai Xiyue confess.

She paused, then began to narrate slowly.

"On the way to the palace banquet, there was a little eunuch who served food and sprinkled it on my skirt, so another palace maid took the courtier to change clothes, she took me to a room, and left, I heard a voice inside, and only after pushing open the door did I find the five princes."

"He should have just come over, he was also holding a new set of clothes in his hand, and the robe on his body was also obviously dirty, I thought that the palace maid was taking the wrong way, just when I was about to leave, the fifth prince suddenly felt a little dizzy, and then we found out that there was a strange incense burner on the table. ”

"I thought it was poison from someone else, so we immediately went to the Tai Hospital, and only heard about Zuo Yu'er after we came back. ”

After she finished speaking, she took out the incense burner, which was long gone.

Zuo Yu'er also became nervous when she saw the incense burner, and she immediately said loudly: "You lie, this incense burner was still in the room just now, and now it is in your hands again, which means that this is your thing at all, and it is the medicine that framed me." ”

Her voice was a little revealing, obviously hating Bai Xiyue.

The emperor frowned, looked at Gu Lingyu and asked, "Ling Yu, what Bai Xiyue said is true, you really went to that room and smelled the smoke." ”

When he spoke, there was a feeling of disbelief in his tone, after all, whether it was Bai Xiyue or Zuo Yu'er, they were all women, and it didn't matter, but if something happened to the five princes, the royal cannibalism would be serious.

"Back to my father, my son assured that what the princess regent said was true, the two of us went to the Tai Hospital, and the Tai Doctor found that we had indeed inhaled drugs in our bodies that made people confused, and the Tai Doctor Li of the Tai Hospital can testify for us."

Gu Lingyu had long been accustomed to the emperor's tone of inquiry, so he didn't react in his heart, but just said the words he had discussed with Bai Xiyue one by one.

"You are lying, the fifth prince, why are you helping Bai Xiyue, she is already the princess regent, even if she has a good-looking skin, but her heart is black, what is there to maintain."

Zuo Yu'er's voice was not as excited as she had just been, mainly because the fifth prince was valued by the emperor, and she didn't dare to say it too ugly. However, it was implied in and out of the words that he defended her because he fell in love with Bai Xiyue's face.

"Miss Zuo, I'm just telling the truth, since you said that Miss Bai used this incense burner to frame you, then, there should still be medicine left in your body, now you only need to ask the imperial doctor to give us four separate pulses, and we can know who is lying."

Gu Lingyu said solemnly, his words were calm and unhurried, without any weakness of heart, and the method he said was indeed feasible.

Soon the emperor called him over, for the sake of fairness, it was Imperial Doctor Zhao from the Tai Hospital, he was the oldest, he had been in the palace for many years, he came to diagnose the pulse, and the others would not have any opinions.

I saw him step forward, take turns to check the pulse of the four people, and then said calmly: "Miss Zuo and Liu Gongzi do not have any medicinal qi in their bodies, while the fifth prince and the princess regent still have a small amount of medicinal qi in their bodies. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Prime Minister Zuo panicked, he hurriedly looked at the second prince, only to see that he looked calm, and did not mean to help Zuo Yu'er speak, Mrs. Zuo originally had a glimmer of hope, but after listening to Imperial Doctor Zhao's words, she almost fainted again, and now it seems that it is really her daughter who framed others, but put herself in.

"It's impossible, you lied, you must have been bought by Bai Xiyue, she made you say that, right?"

Bai Xiyue looked at it coldly, and didn't say anything, of course, there would be no drug residue in Zuo Yu'er's body, because the medicine she added quickly volatilized, and no matter how much she checked, she couldn't find out.

Zuo Yu'er struggled to get up from the ground and yelled at Imperial Physician Zhao.

Imperial Doctor Zhao immediately lowered his face, and said unhappily: "I have been treating people for more than 30 years, and I have never missed a diagnosis, let alone bribed." ”

"Miss Zuo, you take a closer look at this incense burner, is it a little familiar, I remember that southern Xinjiang had paid tribute to a batch of porcelain before, I heard that there is this kind of gilt carved small incense burner inside, at that time Prime Minister Zuo had just solved the drought for the emperor, so the emperor gave that batch of porcelain, all to Prime Minister Zuo. ”

Bai Xiyue said, and handed the incense burner to Father-in-law Xia, who was very eye-catching, and immediately handed the incense burner to the emperor.

The emperor took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and found that this incense burner was really the batch of tribute from southern Xinjiang, and his face immediately darkened.

"Prime Minister Zuo, what's going on!"

He angrily smashed the incense burner at Prime Minister Zuo's feet, and now everyone finally understood that Zuo Yuer wanted to destroy Bai Xiyue, but she didn't want to harm others and end up harming herself.

Prime Minister Bai and his wife, when they heard this, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, they just heard that their daughter had an accident, and their hearts were about to jump out of fright, but fortunately there was nothing wrong.

"Zuo Yu'er, why are you framing me and the five princes, did someone let you do this?"

Bai Xiyue's words were very sharp, and she almost said that she was the second prince.

"Even if the incense burner is Zuofu's, so what. It's hard to guarantee that someone didn't steal it and deliberately use it on occasions like today. ”

Zuo Yu'er was still quibbling, she firmly believed that as long as she didn't admit it, the emperor couldn't do anything to her.

"It's really stupid, the items given by the emperor were lost so easily, and they appeared in the palace, it seems that Zuo Cheng doesn't care so much about the emperor's reward, or is it actually the five princes you want to seduce today."

Bai Xiyue's tone suddenly became a little arrogant, and she mocked Zuo Yu'er sharply.

"You slut, it's obvious that you seduced the second prince first, and now you're still involved with the fifth prince, isn't it just because you have a face?"

"Smack!" Bai Xiyue immediately stepped forward and slapped her, and the strength of the avenue directly made Zuo Yu'er vomit blood.
