Chapter 122: Enter the palace and face the saint
Madame Bai was brought into the palace to face the saint, and the seven princes came to exonerate, because there was not enough evidence, Madame Bai was released in court, and after being released, Lord Bai resigned and returned home. Because the crown prince does not have enough evidence, he has no way to arrest the people of the Crescent Country for the time being
From beginning to end, Madame Bai's eyes were always on Lord Bai, and she tried to find the slightest hint of sympathy on his face, but it was clear that there was no other expression on his face except sympathy.
Madame Bai was silent for a moment and said, "You say, what do you know?" ”
Lord Bai was about to speak, but he heard the prince say, "Let's wait until the emperor is there." ”
Anyway, the purpose of his arrest was just to show the emperor.
Palace.
The emperor is playing chess with Yun Jingyao. In the last move, the emperor won. However, despite winning, the emperor still did not have half a relaxed look on his face.
He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Lord Wang, this is the fifth game of chess you let me, how long do you plan to let me?" ”
Does he feel that his position as the emperor was only given up by him?
Yun Jingyao stared at the chess pieces on the chessboard expressionlessly, and said very calmly: "It is the emperor's ability to win, and there is no such thing as I will let it go." ”
"Really?" The emperor stared at Yun Jingyao tightly, trying to see the meaning of distraction from his face, however, the emperor was still a little disappointed after all, because Yun Jingyao was still an iceberg face that had not changed for thousands of years.
And at this moment, Gonggong Li outside the door suddenly hurriedly walked in, hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is looking for you." ”
Hearing this, the emperor stroked his beard and smiled kindly: "I heard early in the morning that the prince sent troops to capture the people of the Crescent Moon Kingdom, and when he came to see me at this time, he must have gained something." ”
As he spoke, he quickly got up and said to Yun Jingyao: "Lord Wang, it seems that our gambling contract is not allowed, but I didn't expect that the New Moon Kingdom was finally found out by the crown prince." ”
Yun Jingyao put away the chess pieces on the table with a calm heart, without any expression. The crown prince has always acted recklessly, and even if he finds out the people of the Crescent Moon Country at this time, it will be useless at all.
He didn't want to think about it, so the emperor hurriedly took him to see the prince. On the top of the main hall, the emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked down condescendingly, but what he saw was that the prince had brought Lord Bai and two women here, and there was no one else beside him.
The emperor frowned lightly and asked, "The prince came this time, I don't know why?" ”
The crown prince took a step forward, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, this prince found people from the Crescent Moon Kingdom in the capital, so he specially came to report to the emperor." ”
Su Mujin next to her couldn't help frowning when she heard the prince's words. She thought that he had brought Madam Bai here because he was already fully sure of the Crescent Moon Country, but now that she looked at it, she really thought too much.
The prince came to the palace in such a hurry, I'm afraid he was just inviting merit. It is absolutely impossible to have a desire to invite merit between power and conspiracy, and he is committing such a taboo.
At this time, the emperor stroked his beard, and his heart sank, "What's wrong with the people of the Crescent Moon Country?" The people of the Crescent Moon Nation will not be able to enter the frontier? ”
What he needed was evidence, evidence that someone who could justifiably hunt down the Crescent Country, or rather, that the people of the Crescent Country were in cahoots with the Seven Princes. Looking at him like this now, he shouldn't have connected the people of the Crescent Moon Country with the Seven Princes at all, right?
Isn't he startling the snake like this?
The crown prince pursed his lips and said: "The emperor doesn't know that the Wutong next to Madame Bai is a person from the Crescent Moon Kingdom, and the Bai Chen, who was killed in prison, was done by Wutong." They were all from the Crescent Kingdom, which means that the people of the Crescent Kingdom intended to assassinate the regent, so the retainers captured them. ”
“……”
Hearing this, the emperor was in a complicated mood, how could he forget about the assassination of Yun Jingyao. In this way, wouldn't he have a reason to send troops to the Crescent Moon Country?
Thinking of this, the emperor stroked his beard and asked, "So, Madame Bai is a person from the Crescent Moon Country?" ”
Hearing this, the prince clenched his fists, "Exactly." ”
"Your Majesty," Mrs. Bai said suddenly: "The concubine is not convinced, I was wronged, I am not from the Crescent Country, the concubine is from a humble background, and the acquaintance with Wutong is also in the Qinglou, the people of the Qinglou are mostly people of unknown origin, before the unknown identity, how can I know what kind of friend I made?" ”
Whether she can walk out of this hall alive now depends only on what she says. Thinking of this, Madame Bai clutched the sleeve of her dress that was clutched in her hand, and waited quietly for the emperor to make a decision for her.
At this moment, the emperor did not speak, he glanced at Madame Bai, and then turned his gaze to the crown prince.
Being stared at by the emperor, the crown prince felt pressured, he clasped his fists with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Madam Bai, what you said is not right, this palace personally went to the place where the people of the Crescent Moon Kingdom secretly met to catch you, and Mrs. Su is also on the side and can testify, how should you explain?" ”
If Mrs. Bai is allowed to shirk it, then I am afraid that the things about the Crescent Moon Country will be really difficult to handle.
"Can Mrs. Su testify?" When he said this, Su Mujin's tone was full of disbelief. She forced a laugh and sighed helplessly, "I hope Mrs. Su can testify for me." ”
As she spoke, she suddenly said, "Mrs. Su, do you dare to say what you went to the ship for?" ”
Su Mujin pursed her lips, "When I arrived on the boat, I naturally received the news, so I went to look for you, what, is there a problem?" ”
"Huh." Madame Bai brewed a good mood, deliberately staggered back two steps, and vividly expressed the disappointment and despair on her face, "Madame's work of lying is really perfect, and she can lie in front of the emperor without blushing and heartbeating." ”
Hearing this, Su Mujin suddenly felt a little funny, she put her hands around her chest and asked, "Then you say, what kind of panic did I scare?" ”
"Madame, I'm afraid I forgot that you asked me to go to the boat today, but you missed the appointment, and I arrived at the place one step later."
"What did I ask you for?" Su Mujin put her hands around her chest and asked, "Then tell me, what did I ask you for no reason?" ”
"Madame said she would take me to the lake and enjoy the scenery."
"Hehe, I'll take you to watch the lake and enjoy the scenery, you can really say it." As she spoke, she looked at Lord Bai, who was silent next to her, and asked, "Lord Bai, Mrs. Bai said that I asked her to go to the lake, what do you think?" ”
Madame Bai tilted her head and turned her gaze to Lord Bai, looking a little nervous. She was too afraid that Lord Bai would tell her out. These days of getting along, he must have caught her a lot of tricks, right? After saving up for so many days, do you plan to say it all at this time?
