Chapter 80: Overboard
The forbidden soldiers in the palace all ran towards the place where the sound came from, with torches.
Shen Moran just wanted to go to see what was going on, but was pulled by Meng Comb's eyebrows.
"The forbidden army is coming soon, if people see the two of us in the garden, I'm afraid that we can't tell if we have a thousand mouths, I think you better go first."
Shen Ran hesitated for a moment, and immediately walked away from the side path.
"Are you alright?"
Jing Qicheng arrived and was slightly relieved to see that Meng was safe and sound.
"What's going on?"
Meng asked with his eyebrows combed.
Jing Qicheng shook his head, the emperor has already let the forbidden army pass, but he hasn't found out yet.
After a while, the forbidden army came to report that someone had fallen into the water in the lotus pond and that the person had been rescued.
The person who fell into the water was Mu Qingyan.
When she was rescued, she was soaked from top to bottom and cried all the time.
When the prince saw that her hair was disheveled, her clothes were disheveled, and she was crying, he frowned and reprimanded: "Why are you so careless, why don't you go down and change your clothes quickly." ”
Mu Qingyan cried: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Mingjian, someone pushed me down, not me who fell by myself!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
She is the crown prince's concubine, if someone really dares to disadvantage her, it will be a crime of killing her head.
A palace person had already gone to tell the emperor about it, and it was not too early for the emperor to see it, and this was also a family matter, so the courtiers all dispersed.
The sound of silk and bamboo resounded for a day, and after it stopped abruptly, the entire palace instantly seemed cold.
The palace maids sent Mu Qingyan to change clothes, put her hair in a bun again, and then brought it to Fengxi Palace.
The emperor was sitting on the throne, his face was not very good-looking, such a good Mid-Autumn Festival, such a terrifying thing actually happened, the prince's side concubine was pushed into the pool! How did the forbidden army work on an errand!
"Sister, are you okay?"
Mu Anxuan and Mu Qingyan are really sisters, with a nervous face, and she is followed by Meng Xiangrong.
The people who stay in Fengxi Palace now are all people who have a relationship with the royal family.
Concubine Xian saw that Mu Qingyan still seemed to be in shock, so she asked Meng to comb her eyebrows and help her take a look.
But who knew that Meng Combrow had just walked towards her, and Mu Qingyan asked her not to come over with a look of horror.
Meng combed his eyebrows and wondered in his heart, why, did he look so terrible?
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, please call the shots for your sons."
Mu Qingyan cried and lay on the ground.
Seeing that she was so out of status, the prince hurriedly asked Wang Qifu to help her up, crying in front of the emperor like this, what kind of system, although she is only a side concubine, it is also related to the face of the East Palace.
The emperor asked her to help her up, so that she could speak out if she had any grievances.
Mu Qingyan raised his hand, pointed at Meng Comb, and roared hoarsely: "It's her, it's Princess Chen who pushed her son down!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, all four were shocked.
Meng combs his eyebrows and was also stunned for a moment, he never thought that this basin of dirty water would be splashed on him.
Jing Qicheng looked at Mu Qingyan coldly: "Do you know what the crime of slandering the princess is." ”
The prince was displeased, in the final analysis, she was also Jing Qicheng's sister-in-law, how could she be so disrespectful.
The emperor naturally didn't believe it, and he asked Mu Qingyan to explain the ins and outs of the matter.
She cried and said, "Erchen just feels a little drunk, so he wants to go to the lotus pond to blow the wind, who knows ......." ”
Mu Qingyan looked a little scared, and didn't dare to continue.
She wrung her handkerchief, her face trembling with horror.
Why, so many people, are they still afraid that they will eat her?
Meng combed her eyebrows and wanted to see how she planned to frame herself.
The crown prince said to Mu Qingyan: "The father and the queen mother are here, if you have any grievances, just say it." ”
Mu Qingyan seemed to be emboldened, kowtowed and said: "Erchen saw that the princess and the prince of Longxi were together, and they were very intimate. ”
I was waiting for myself here.
Mu Qingyan continued to say that he was shocked when he saw that scene, and when he was accidentally discovered by them, Meng combed his eyebrows and forced himself to the edge of the lotus pond and pushed himself into the water.
"Princess, you are so vicious!"
The two sisters of the Mu family sang and harmonized, which was really a good show.
Mu Qingyan's words made everyone present have different expressions.
The princess fornicated with a man, which was a big crime to Ling Chi.
If it's true, I'm afraid that today's events will be difficult to end.
Although it was just Mu Qingyan's words, she did fall into the water, and Meng Combrow was near her at the time, what happened in the middle, no one saw it with their own eyes, but it was easy for people to think about it.
The emperor was silent for a long time, and then said to Meng Combing: "Princess Chen, what do you have to distinguish." ”
"Erchen has a few questions for her."
She walked up to Mu Qingyan and smiled faintly, since she said that she pushed her into the water, where was Shen Moran at that time?
"At that time...... He's naturally with you. ”
Mu Qingyan's words were conclusive, and he insisted that Meng combed his eyebrows and Shen Moran had a private relationship.
"That's really weird."
Meng combed his eyebrows and made a thinking shape, there were many gravels on the edge of the lotus pond, if he and Shen Moran wanted to kill people, they would directly pick up a stone and let her smash her head, unknowingly, and it would not arouse suspicion.
Wouldn't it be stupid to have to go to such trouble to push her into the lotus pond?
If you want to drown a person, it will take a long time, and the Forbidden Army is always patrolling, as long as someone calls for help, the Forbidden Army will immediately find it.
Does she seem like such a stupid person?
And I was alone in the garden at the time, where was Shen Ran?
Mu Qingyan was secretly annoyed in her heart, why didn't she think of these details.
"Maybe you were nervous at the time, or you didn't think it through, in short, I'm sure you pushed me!"
Meng combed his eyebrows and sneered, he didn't give up, did he.
"Dare to ask Concubine Fang, how long have you been in the water at that time?"
"How do I remember, it's been quite long anyway."
She burst into tears again, saying that if the forbidden army hadn't rescued her in time, it is estimated that she would have drowned by now.
Meng combs one hand on her wrist, Mu Qingyan's pulse is calm and powerful, like a person who has just escaped from the ghost gate.
It's better that she calculated the time to jump into the lotus pond.
"Don't spew blood, my sister is not that kind of person."
Mu Anxuan was on the side to help.
"Then dare to ask anyone other than you, who saw me and Shen Moran together at that time?"
Mu Qingyan bit her lip and said that she was the only one who was there.
That is, there is no more witness.
You can't just rely on a few words from her to charge yourself with a trumped-up crime.
Mu Qingyan was dumbfounded, she didn't expect Meng Comb's mouth to be so eloquent, she couldn't find the slightest reason, could she just let her go?
