Chapter 217: Distinguishing Before the Emperor
"Princess Chen took the order."
Someone in the palace came to spread the word, saying that the emperor wanted to see Meng to comb his eyebrows.
The father-in-law who came to deliver the decree had also been here many times, and he had also fished a lot of oil and water from King Chen's mansion, so he quietly revealed some news to Meng Combrow, saying that General Mu Yingmu had just entered the palace to face the saint, and after the emperor saw him again, he moved his atmosphere, which made Meng comb his eyebrows a little mentally prepared.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Meng combed his eyebrows and asked Chun Xing to send him a pearl, his mouth couldn't close when he smiled, and he said that it was too precious, he really didn't dare to accept it, but his hand had already taken the bead and stuffed it into his sleeve.
"Go and prepare my clothes for the saint."
She sat in front of the mirror and tried to put her foot on the rock, but her hands kept shaking, and she almost broke the bun that had been combed.
Yesterday, she gave Jing Qicheng acupuncture, her wrist strength has been exhausted, and now she can't even hold the step steadily.
"Miss, I'd better come."
Chun Xing hurriedly took over the step shake to help her fix her hair, and brought her court clothes to change into.
"Where's Mohan?"
"Outside, he's been kneeling for a day and a night."
Meng combed her eyebrows and opened the door, she looked like she had regained her princess style, because her face was very pale, and Chun Xing had put a lot of rouge on her lips.
Mo Han knelt on the ground, he was useless.
"Even if you die on your knees here, you won't be able to make up for anything."
Meng combed his eyebrows and glanced at Mo Han lightly, now that he wants to enter the palace, Mo Han must guard this courtyard for him, and no one is allowed to take a step closer, does he understand?
"Yes, Princess."
She wanted to give Mo Han a chance to redeem her guilt, but now she can't believe anyone, the only one who can believe is Mo Han.
In the palace, the first thing the emperor asked after seeing Meng Comb his eyebrows was not what happened to Jing Qicheng's injuries, but angrily asked why they didn't catch the prince of Yan Kingdom.
Meng combrows knelt on the cold ground and replied: "The prince was injured by a traitor, and I, a weak woman, really can't compete with the Yan people, so I can only watch them escape." ”
What a merciful father, his son almost died, but he was more concerned about why they didn't catch the swallows.
The emperor was very angry, he had already heard Mu Ying tell the ins and outs of the matter.
According to what Mu Ying said, Jing Qicheng had long known that the person who kidnapped Shen Moran was from Yan Guo, but he actually concealed it and did not report it, and several loyal forbidden soldiers told Mu Ying after learning about it, and Mu Ying took a few henchmen to Wuli Pavilion to help Jing Qicheng.
Who knew that he was too late, and Yan Ren fled after injuring Jing Qicheng again, although he tried his best to pursue it, it was useless.
Mu Ying rushed into the palace first in order to confuse the public in front of the emperor and prevent Meng from telling the truth.
The emperor was already suspicious of him because of the prospect that Qi Cheng wanted to control the forbidden army, and now he heard that he knew that it was the prince of Yan Guo who captured Shen Moran, but he still deceived his superiors and subordinates and did not tell him, so he was even more suspicious of whether Jing Qi Cheng had a disobedient heart.
And he didn't understand why Meng Combrow would also be arrested.
Could it be that Jing Qicheng did something unsavory with Yan Ren in private?
The emperor knew very well that when Qingguo's army set foot on the royal city of Yan State, Yan Guo was all in mind with this blood feud in his heart, and this year, Jing Qicheng was quite popular in the court, if he and Yan Guo had any plans to unite, wouldn't it be the biggest threat to him?
"Father's Father."
Meng combed his eyebrows and bowed his head.
"The prince was really worried after learning that the county king was arrested, he thought that he had just met the mountain bandits, but he didn't think that those people were Yan people in disguise."
Meng combed his eyebrows and raised his head to look at the emperor, his eyes were extremely sincere.
She said that she was really worried about Jing Qicheng in the mansion, and thought that there was a forbidden army that would be able to protect herself, so she would dress up as a soldier and go, who knew that those Yan people were so bold and bold, and it was not enough to kidnap Shen Moran, but they actually sneaked into the tent in the middle of the night to arrest herself, so as to threaten Jing Qicheng.
The meaning of the words is that there are only two Yan people in total, and they can capture themselves under the noses of hundreds of forbidden troops, and the forbidden army is quite useless.
As a fellow of the forbidden army, Mu Ying naturally couldn't escape the blame, and he also felt the emperor's displeased eyes, so he quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty and said that he would definitely step up training.
"Moreover, since General Mu was also there at the time, I think why didn't I catch Yan Ren, the father should ask him, after all, it is impossible for me and the prince to be higher than the general's martial arts, are you right?"
What Meng Combrow said also makes sense, if Mu Ying can't catch Yanren, Jing Qicheng will catch it instead, it will be very strange.
Mu Ying was a little annoyed, she had a sharp mouth, obviously she had taken the lead in the palace, but she didn't want to be questioned by Meng Comb and had no power to fight back.
Meng combs his eyebrows and kowtowed three times in front of the emperor again, and said straightly: "The prince's loyalty can be learned, if the father does not believe it, you can also declare the prince of the county to enter the palace to face the saint, if we really collude with the Yan people, heaven and earth will not allow it!" ”
Meng Combrow's generous statement was very excited, even if it couldn't completely dispel the doubts in the emperor's heart, at least it made him believe five points.
Mu Ying is not good at talking too much on the side, if she is talking too much, it will make the emperor feel that he is targeting Jing Qicheng.
But her own affairs can be regarded as fooling, Meng Combrow is a smart person, and she must not tell the emperor about the things she did in Wuli Pavilion.
It's just that from then on, the Mu family and the Chen Wangfu are clear enemies, and only one of them can survive.
The emperor's expression eased a lot, and asked Meng to comb his eyebrows and reply, Meng stood up after combing his eyebrows and thanked him, shook his body a few times, and then fell to the ground.
She originally just wanted to play a bitter trick to tell the emperor that she and Jing Qicheng were seriously injured, which made him feel distressed, and made him believe that she and Murong Xuan were not all the way, but she really fainted later.
She didn't close her eyes for a whole day and night, and she was exhausted, and when she entered the palace, she was completely relying on one breath to hold on.
After the imperial doctor combed Meng's eyebrows and checked her pulse, she said that she was suffering from a loss of qi and blood, coupled with anxiety and restlessness and needed to recuperate, Concubine Xian cried and said to the emperor after hearing this: "Princess Chen is already like this, presumably Cheng'er is not good outside the palace, the emperor is still in such a hurry to announce him into the palace, you let me see Sister Jing in the future, how to explain." ”
The emperor also regretted it a little, after all, Jing Qicheng had indeed not done anything to threaten his throne for so many years, and this time he was indeed a little too suspicious.
It's just that even if you regret it, if you have another chance, the emperor will still do it, because the king just wants to give up some feelings.
