Chapter 69: The So-Called Fairness

"You dare to beat me, this is in front of the emperor, could it be that I said your mind, you are annoyed and angry."

Zuo Yu'er jumped like thunder, and her voice couldn't help but raise a lot.

"Bai Xiyue, do you still take me in your eyes, how did Prime Minister Bai educate his daughter."

The emperor did not accuse Zuo Yu'er of losing his honor in front of the palace at the first time, but reprimanded Bai Xiyuelai.

Wang Ziying was surprised by her behavior, but she was also secretly happy in her heart, no matter what the truth of the matter was, as long as Bai Xiyue was punished, she would be very happy.

In the face of the emperor's anger and the eyes of the people in the palace, she was not cowardly, and still said with an unchanged face: "Your Majesty, it's not that I am uneducated, I just acted like this because I was afraid of damaging the royal face." ”

"So you're still thinking about me." The emperor said in a weird way, and it could be seen that he was still very angry, and he hated Bai Xiyue extremely much in his heart.

"What Zuo Yuer said just now not only damaged my personal reputation, but more importantly, she insulted the second prince and the fifth prince at the same time, my personal reputation does not matter, but the second prince has shared the emperor's worries and solved problems for many years, and has always considered the emperor and the people, which can be said to be dedicated. ”

The second prince suddenly heard Bai Xiyue's praise, and suddenly felt a little guilty about her, today's events can be said to have been planned by herself, but she didn't know it, and now she is still maintaining his reputation, this kind of behavior makes the second prince have a strange feeling in his heart, he raised his eyes to look at Bai Xiyue again, and felt as if something was different.

She paused and continued: "Although the five princes have been living outside, their reputation among the people is excellent, and they have recovered the food that is ready to be sent to the front line, which can be said to be a great achievement. ”

"But now, Zuo Yu'er's words not only damaged the reputation of the second prince, but also questioned the emperor's decision, he damaged the reputation of the fifth prince, why not say that the emperor is short-sighted, and you are not allowed to see people! ”

Her voice was sonorous and powerful, and she seemed to be righteous, without the slightest intention of justifying herself, but with a feeling of thinking about others and sacrificing herself.

But her words made the people around her can't help but take a breath of cool air, this daughter of Prime Minister Zuo looks soft and weak on weekdays, and she never goes out, but she didn't expect to talk, too, the head is the way, and every sentence is reasonable.

Her transformation does not make people wonder if there is a reason for the regent's guidance.

After listening to her words, the emperor couldn't find any reason to refute for a while, but he didn't want to let Bai Xiyue go so easily, so he had to change the topic, "Even if you are thinking about the royal family, how can you explain the matter of framing Zuo Yu'er." ”

"With just an incense burner, you can't tell what the problem is."

The emperor immediately changed his words, and did not mention anything about his previous angry rebuke of Prime Minister Zuo.

His shameless behavior was all seen by the ministers, and although they wanted to refute it in their hearts, they were forced to be weak and the majesty of the emperor, so they had to suppress the words in their hearts as a spectator.

The second prince wanted to help Bai Xiyue at the moment, but if he did so, he might expose himself, and in front of power, he finally lowered his head.

At this time, Gu Yichen suddenly held her hand, the cold touch made Bai Xiyue feel a little stable, he lowered his head and looked over, through the black mask, saw his deep eyes, the two didn't say anything, just looked at each other.

Gu Jiuxiao stood aside, clearly saw the overlapping hands of the two, felt very dazzling, and wanted to rush up immediately to separate them.

"Zuo Yu'er, you said that I framed you, then, do you dare to answer a few questions from me!"

Bai Xiyue said to her.

"Why wouldn't I dare!" Zuo Yu'er replied confidently, she believed that Bai Xiyue would not have any evidence, so she was now fearless.

"Well, first question, why should I frame you, what good is it for me. ”

Zuo Yuer replied without thinking about it: "Because you are jealous of me and can't see that I have a better life than you, so you want to destroy me." ”

Hearing her words, there was no need for Bai Xiyue to answer, the fifth prince sneered: "You really look up to yourself, the princess regent will be jealous of you, in terms of appearance, I think everyone can see who is better, in terms of family background, Prime Minister Zuo and Prime Minister Bai are of equal status, no one is more noble than the other, in terms of identity, you are just the daughter of the prime minister, and she is the princess regent, why should you say why should he be jealous, a woman with no appearance and no identity." ”

The words of the five princes can be said to be very sharp, which made everyone have the seeds of doubt in their hearts.

"The discord between the two of us is something that all young ladies know, if not because she is jealous, but because she hates me terribly. ”

Zuo Yu'er's reaction was very fast, and she immediately changed her reason, but it sounded very unconfident.

Bai Xiyue didn't bother with her, and continued to ask: "Second question, you said that I lured you over, so how did I seduce you, how could a person who hates me so easily follow me." ”

"That,,That's because I believe in you, I didn't expect you to do such a thing, temptation, yes,, it was you who said that your clothes were dirty and you wanted me to change with you, so I went."

Zuo Yu'er began to stutter when she spoke, and her heart became more and more panicked, and the man never said a word from beginning to end, just let her defend herself.

The Liu family didn't care about this concubine, and only hoped that the interests of the family would not be involved.

"It's ridiculous!" She said in a mocking tone.

"Let's not talk about why I would, let a nasty person accompany me to change clothes, let's just say the incense burner, if it is a house where the two of us enter together, why don't you have medicine in your body, and I rarely enter the palace on weekdays, so I can't find the way at all, how can I bring you to that house in advance." ”

After listening to what she said, the emperor's heart sank completely, and she knew that this time she would not be convicted of any crime.

"It's the doctor's problem, it must be the doctor's problem. ”

She said hurriedly, as if the person who had fallen into the water was grasping the last straw.

"In that case, then ask the emperor to personally appoint a doctor, I can't buy all the doctors. ”

Soon Mo Xuanyi was called, and he checked the pulse of the four of them without squinting.

The result is still the same as that of Imperial Physician Zhao.

"What about the evidence, what about the evidence, without the evidence, why do you say that I did it."

Zuo Yu'er began to play the form of a scoundrel at this moment, she resolutely could not admit that she had done this by herself, but the outcome of the matter was unpredictable.

"Proof! The proof is that when I heard that the other ladies arrived, you were lying on that man like a wolf, and that kind of debauchery was not voluntary, and it was difficult for someone else to force you. ”

I only heard him say such things so bluntly, and he coughed twice in shock, and Mo Xuanyi on the side also glanced at her silently, only Gu Yichen had a dark face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Then the fifth prince said: "Don't you just want evidence, come here, bring them up." ”

Immediately after he finished speaking, the eunuch brought two women, and those two were the maidservants from before.

As soon as the two of them came in, someone recognized them, "Aren't these two maidservants the two who followed Zuo Yu'er into the palace today?" ”

Naturally, other people also discovered this problem, and they all talked about it for a while.

The two maidservants were a little panicked at the moment, and knelt tremblingly.

"Say what you just said." The fifth prince spoke.

"Today's things are all Zuo Yuer asked me to do, she hates the princess regent, and she can't see it, she has lived so well after marrying the regent, so she wants to destroy the princess regent at the crown prince's canonization ceremony. ”

"Liu Gongzi has admired her for a long time, but she doesn't look down on that person at all, recently in order to use him, there have been frequent correspondence between the two, and today's events also have Liu Gongzi's credit in it. ”

The two maidservants alternated, and finished the story in a trembling voice.

Hearing this, Liu Feng, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly spoke: "You have been using me all along, and I thought that my sincerity had been rewarded." ”

His voice had a suppressed anger in it, and it sounded a little pitiful.

"They lied, these two maidservants must have been bought by Bai Xiyue. ”

Zuo Yu'er never thought that they would betray her, so she was a little panicked now, no matter what they said, she was sure that she was bought.

However, Liu Feng, who was ignored, was unwilling to be silent anymore, and she explained the plan of the two of them 1510.

The matter was a foregone conclusion, and the emperor had no choice but to sprinkle all his anger on Zuo Yu'er, "Zuo Yu'er, you are so bold, you have already calculated on the head of the five princes, and you still use such dirty means." ”

Prime Minister Zuo immediately knelt down, "Ask the emperor to be merciful and let Yu'er go, the minister is such a daughter, if she has three long and two short, the minister will not be able to live." ”

"Liu Feng and Yu'er are in love, the two of them have already had feelings for each other, although Yu'er designed the regent princess today, but isn't she fine, now stand here well, begging the emperor to let her go. ”

His justification couldn't convince anyone at all, just when the ministers thought that the emperor was going to punish Zuo Yu'er heavily, he opened his mouth and said like Prime Minister Bai: "Prime Minister Bai, although today's incident is Zuo Yu'er's fault, Bai Xiyue has not been harmed, and we don't have to be too harsh." ”

After listening to the emperor's words, the five princes were shocked, before he returned to the palace, he had already heard that the emperor was incompetent, regardless of right and wrong, but today he saw it with his own eyes.

In the end, the emperor gave Zuo Yuer a marriage and allowed her to marry Liu Feng.

Although this treatment is extremely unreasonable, it is strange that no one objected, not even Prime Minister Bai and his wife did not say anything.

When Bai Xiyue left, she turned her head to look at the emperor, and the eyes of the two collided, and only for a moment, they staggered.

Her expression reminded the emperor of the time when Gu Yichen washed the palace in blood, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind his back.
