Chapter 341: Reputation Restored
Wei Xi, who was not too flustered when she heard the old lady's accusation against her, frowned slightly and asked, "Old lady, didn't you say that I fainted and felt unwell, and I am still lying in the mansion?" Why did you appear in the court at this time? "
The old lady snorted coldly, "If I don't get up today, everyone in this world will listen to your words and turn black and white upside down, and I really think you are a filial son." I'm here today to expose your true colors! ”
The old woman spoke, then turned her gaze to the emperor, and knelt down immediately, the expression on her face suddenly changed from anger to sorrow, "Holy Lord, you have to be the master of the old body!" This Wei Xiyue is arrogant, and there is no one in the Wei Mansion, repeatedly provoking and threatening the old body, the old body is really miserable! ”
Before the emperor could speak, another person appeared and interrupted the old lady's words, "Since the old lady said so, shouldn't the Holy One make the decision for me first?" ”
Wei Xiyue turned her head and saw that it was Liu, so she was a little surprised, and asked Liu's in a low voice, "Mother, why are you here?" ”
The Liu family did not look at Wei Xiyue, nor did he reply to Wei Xiyue, Wei Xiyue turned his gaze to Huo Lingxiao again, and after he saw Huo Lingxiao's smile, it was determined that the Liu family was invited by Huo Lingxiao.
"If you want to be arrogant, the old lady should be too much. Now the entire Wei Mansion is under the control of the old lady, and the old lady is also prone to make things difficult for us, and from time to time she has to use family law, close the ancestral hall, Xiyue is just to protect me, which will be offensive to the old lady.
Excuse me, is there anything wrong with maintaining a biological mother? Is there anything wrong with offending an arrogant elder because of defending his biological mother? If a person is afraid that he will have an unfilial reputation just because he is in power, and he does not even dare to protect his mother, can such a person be called filial piety? ”
Liu asked three questions in a row, and each sentence was loud.
The civil and military officials were silent, and Wei Xiyue's defense could barely be called pale to them, but Liu's remarks made them no longer have the heart to refute.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the prince and Huo Zeyu hurriedly hinted that the old lady would add another fire, and the old lady received the hint and hurriedly broke the silence at the moment.
"Nonsense! Liu, you are my daughter-in-law, you are wrong, I should naturally be punished, but you refused to accept the punishment, and instigated your daughter to provoke and offend me, and you are still reversing right and wrong here, it is really a thing that can't be put on the table! In order to cover up the facts, the old lady spoke fiercely.
When the emperor saw that the old lady had even scolded the swear words in the market, he immediately frowned, and then he spoke, "Enough, don't talk about this matter anymore, let's stop here." ”
At this time, the prince asked, "Father, what about Wei Xiyue's position......
The emperor paused for a moment, and then said, "What the old lady said is not unreasonable, Wei Xiyue's official position should be withdrawn." ”
Hearing the emperor say this, the crown prince Huo Zeyu and the old lady and other people present were all ecstatic in their hearts, but they still had to pretend to be calm on their faces.
Wei Xiyue also expected such a result, so she didn't show too much loss, but looking at Liu, her face was full of guilt, but it was as if she had harmed Wei Xiyue and was removed from her official position.
Wei Xiyue didn't say much, but just held Liu's hand, which was considered to give her some comfort.
And after getting such a result, the military general was extremely dissatisfied, and some of the military generals who were anxious directly stood up and refuted the emperor, "Your Majesty, you shouldn't do this, as far as I can see, Wei Xiyue didn't do anything wrong, these things were completely provoked by those who didn't see her well, didn't you encourage the arrogance of the evil by doing this?"
That military general is Wei Xiyue's father's old department, and he still has some prestige among the military generals, and when he said this, he immediately attracted the support of many military generals.
The emperor didn't show any expression, but said lightly, "I have already said, don't talk about this matter anymore, if there is really injustice, this matter will be postponed and discussed, so be it today, retreat from the dynasty!"
When the military general saw the emperor's attitude, he was extremely angry in his heart, and before the emperor could leave first, he left first in the sight of the hundred officials.
The emperor didn't reprimand him either, just looked at his back, his eyes were cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
And there was no chance to postpone this matter, and the emperor had already completely suppressed this matter.
However, under the impetus of Huo Lingxiao, this matter quickly spread among the people in the capital, coupled with Huo Lingxiao's previous publicity of Wei Xiyue's exploits in the capital, Wei Xiyue's reputation not only recovered quickly, but even became more famous than the original.
Ordinary people will always be more fond and sympathetic to those heroes who are oppressed by power and dare to fight against power, not to mention that this hero is still a young girl, then it is easier to get sympathy.
As soon as Wei Xiyue left the palace, she hadn't walked long on the street, and many people came up, sending things and apologies, and there were so many things that even the hands of the academy people who followed Wei Xiyue couldn't fit into them.
In the end, Wei Xiyue also forgave the people who apologized one by one, and politely rejected the things of those people, so that she was able to get out.
After getting out, Wei Xiyue sent the Liu family home, in order to ensure safety, Wei Xiyue also specially called a carriage, and it was not until after getting into the car that Wei Xiyue opened her mouth to the Liu family.
"Mother, you are too reckless today, why didn't you discuss it with me, you came to the palace by yourself, and confronted the old lady in front of the emperor, you are really ...... Luckily, nothing serious. Wei Xiyue said with half a strange look.
Liu Shi suddenly lowered his head with some shame, "Xiyue, I'm also concerned about chaos, I'm worried about what harm you will get, but I didn't expect to almost stab you in the basket, it was my mother who did something wrong." "
When Wei Xiyue saw Liu's appearance, she realized that her tone was serious, so she remedied, "Mother, I don't mean to blame you, I know that you are for my good, but please also believe me, I am absolutely capable of protecting myself." You must discuss with me in advance in the future, don't let me worry about it again, okay?"
When the Liu family heard Wei Xiyue say this, he raised his head to look at Wei Xiyue, nodded and smiled, "Mother knows, Mother has always believed in you, you have always been the pride of Mother, no matter what, Mother will always be on your side." "
Only then did the mother and daughter regain their previous harmonious appearance, as if nothing had happened.
Not long after the two returned home, the emperor's dismissal decree arrived.
When she received the will, Wei Xiyue was expressionless throughout the whole process, as if this was something that had nothing to do with her.
Liu Shi was anxious, "Xiyue, how can this still be the case, you are obviously not unfilial, it is the old lady who deliberately framed you!" No, I have to go to the palace and explain to the emperor clearly, and I must give you back your official position. "
Liu was so anxious that he was about to cry, and as soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the hem of his clothes and turned around to run out of the door, but was grabbed by Wei Xiyue.
"Mother, don't go anywhere, just stay here." Wei Xiyue said calmly.
But Liu couldn't be as calm as her, and the whole person was still anxious, "But, how can it be done, how can I watch my daughter being framed and do nothing!"
Wei Xiyue sighed lightly and said, "Mother, but it's useless for you to go now, the matter is already a foregone conclusion." You just stay and don't think about anything, don't meddle, I can solve these things myself, can you?"
Liu glanced at Wei Xiyue, and finally nodded helplessly, "Okay then, mother believes you." "
After dealing with the Liu family's side, Wei Xiyue sent his subordinates to let them continue to spread rumors. It's just that this rumor is not her own merits or the fact that she was framed by the old lady, but the emperor's abuse of the daughter of the hero.
Of course, this so-called daughter of a hero refers to Wei Xiyue herself.
Recently, Wei Xiyue's matter has been in a uproar in the capital, and the slightest change in the direction of the rumors will be noticed quickly, not to mention that this time it has not been long since the last rumor change, and the people are naturally more sensitive.
For a time, the emperor's abuse of the daughters of meritorious heroes was spread all over the capital, and under the encouragement of those generals who were dissatisfied with the emperor's decision, this matter intensified, and it was no longer something that could be suppressed artificially.
Lin Shanshan originally let the rumors that were unfavorable to Wei Xiyue spread well, and it did attract a lot of hatred to Wei Xiyue, but she didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected situation.
Coupled with the two waves of Huo Lingxiao and Wei Xiyue's operations, she could no longer control the direction of the rumors in the capital, and in this situation where the people of the whole city were sympathetic to Wei Xiyue, she would only attract hatred to herself if she spread the bad words of Wei Xiyue, and she had no way to deal with it for a while.
And the rumors that the emperor abused the daughter of the meritorious hero The crown princess also soon learned about it, so the crown princess summoned Lin Shanshan over and asked knowingly, "Lin Shanshan, how did you do it?" ”
Lin Shanshan was already absent-minded, but when she heard the princess ask, she panicked, and she couldn't say anything for a while, so she only replied, "Ah? ”
"So, you're a failure, aren't you?" The crown princess glanced at Lin Shanshan and said coldly.
Lin Shanshan could only admit it.
"Since you've failed, you can't blame me." As the crown princess spoke, she asked people to prepare a carriage and took Lin Shanshan to Huo Lingxiao's mansion, explaining to Huo Lingxiao what Lin Shanshan had spread rumors before.
Huo Lingxiao had known for a long time, but everyone came to the door in person, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only avoid the importance of this matter.
