Chapter 601: Stubborn
Emperor Jinghong's face was complicated: "Little woman, she has such talent, but she is also worthy of Xu'er." ”
Xiao Xu was still expressionless, but only his own heart knew that his heart was already surging, and he couldn't wait to rush downstairs immediately, hold the person who was talking and laughing in the fat powder pile in his arms, and tell everyone that it was his woman.
Xiao Xu and Emperor Jing Hong returned to the table and sat down, and Emperor Jing Hong called Zhao Lu: "Go, tell the 'Fu Gongzi' below, let her be happy enough, and talk back and forth." ”
"Yes." Zhao Lu immediately obeyed the order and went downstairs respectfully.
Chu Junlan was physically and mentally exhausted from socializing here, just in time for Zhao Lu to come closer, she hurriedly got up, arched her hand and said, "It turns out that the lord of your mansion is also here?" ”
Zhao Lu hurriedly bowed his head and said with a smile: "Master Fu, our master is invited." ”
Chu Junlan smiled and bowed his head and went upstairs with Zhao Lu.
The girls were still reluctant to give up on him, but seeing that Fu Dacai had something to do, they could only retreat aside.
Chu Junlan followed Zhao Lu and stepped on the wooden stairs, and his demeanor was chic, which made the girls who were watching her back from a distance scream again, and some even wanted to throw the veil over from a distance.
Chu Junlan turned the stairs with those screams and came to a private room at the end of the corridor.
The window near the hall in the house was closed, but the light was still very bright, and as soon as Chu Junlan entered the door, he saw Emperor Jing Hong, who was sitting in the first place, and Xiao Xu, who was dressed in white behind him.
Chu Junlan's heart jumped, but he still lowered his eyes calmly.
She hasn't heard back from Xiao Xu these days, and she has been worried about whether something happened to him.
Until she got the gold medal of exoneration sent by him, she couldn't be completely relieved, for fear that he would let go out by himself, but left the vitality to her, and it wasn't until now that she saw him follow Emperor Jinghong safely and soundly, Chu Junlan was completely relieved.
Emperor Jinghong is also Xiao Xu's biological father, and following the emperor can at least ensure that even if there is a big problem in Prince Gong's mansion, Xiao Xu will be safe.
Chu Junlan thought about this, his heart was already completely calm, he respectfully saluted Emperor Jinghong, and said in his own voice: "I have seen the emperor." ”
She is dressed as a man, but she speaks in a woman's voice, this strong contrast is really funny.
Emperor Jinghong cocked Erlang's legs, pointed his fingers down on the armrests of the circle chair, looked Chu Junlan up and down, and hissed: "You are dressed like this, but it looks like you." ”
"Thank you for the compliment."
"Compliment?" Emperor Jing Hong suddenly turned his face and said coldly: "Are you really praising you?" You are dressed like this, where did you get Fu Zhiheng? ”
"Back to the emperor, Fu Zhiheng was locked up by his courtiers, but tomorrow he will naturally be able to move freely." Chu Junlan generously admitted it directly.
Emperor Jinghong looked at her calm appearance, and he was not lightly angry, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Bold! You're a daring man! ”
Emperor Jinghong was furious and frightened Li Defang and Zhao Lu to kneel on the spot.
Xiao Xu also turned to Emperor Jinghong, knelt on the ground and saluted: "Uncle Huang is angry." ”
"You go away, this matter has nothing to do with you." Emperor Jinghong pulled Xiao Xu away, got up and walked in front of Chu Junlan: "Good Chu family, you dare to openly arrest, you don't care about my Jinyi Guard, and you dare to assassinate the prince of Huai'an, the assassination fails, you dare to kidnap the second prince of Huai'an with the intention of killing him, you are so rampant, who gave you the guts!" ”
Chu Junlan had a feeling of truth in his heart, and said helplessly: "Back to the emperor, the courtiers are wronged." ”
"Wronged?" Emperor Jinghong paced with his hands in his hands and said coldly, "You sit down and do such things, and you still want to prevaricate in front of me?" ”
"The courtiers don't dare." Chu Junlan said, "After the courtiers came to Huaijing City, they found that Princess Zhang, Princess Cai, as well as the courtiers' uncles, sisters-in-law and other family members who arrived first, were all gone. The first night was assassinated, the knife of the Huai'an Palace's sword was fatal, and he didn't say who came to arrest the courtiers, but directly killed the courtiers! ”
"Say that the courtiers are arrested? But no one said that he was a brocade guard, and he wanted to arrest the courtiers, so how could the courtiers ever be arrested? ”
"The family was detained in the Huai'an Palace, and the courtiers once came to the door to ask for someone, but the Huai'an Wang's princess Yin came forward, and after several excuses, she refused to let the person back at all, and used them as a threat to let the courtiers go to their house to treat Xiao Yunchang, the second son of the Huai'an Wang.
The courtiers were afraid that they would also be controlled by them, and after discussion, they agreed to let them send the second son to the courtier's house for treatment. For the safety of her family, the courtiers tried their best to study the second son's condition, but what she didn't expect was that as soon as the person was cured, the courtiers fell for the plan.
"The prince of Huai'an used a fake stand-in to lure the courtier's wife to the bait, and the man himself hit the courtier's knife, and the prince of Huai'an arranged for someone to surround and intercept the courtier, and the courtier's wife easily escaped and went home, and found that the house had been raided."
Speaking of this, Chu Junlan smiled a little helplessly: "Now it seems that the courtiers are too stupid and have been tricked from the beginning. was used by someone with a heart, and approached the trap step by step. The emperor, the Huai'an palace has ill intentions, and the charges are detained on the heads of the courtiers one by one, and the courtiers are unable to prevent it. The reason why Fu Gongzi was locked up today and came pretending to be him was also to come to see you, to present his feelings in person, and to have a chance to speak for himself. ”
The room was quiet, and Emperor Jinghong had a calm face, as if he was trying to figure out how true and false Chu Junlan's words were.
But Xiao Xu was already distressed.
As soon as Chu Junlan left the capital, he was called into the palace by Emperor Jinghong, and since then he has lost his freedom and has no contact with the outside world.
Xiao Xu knew that Emperor Jinghong had discovered that there was something wrong with Huaijing's affairs and didn't want him to get involved, so he locked him up and completely removed him from it.
But Chu Junlan was already in the game.
Xiao Xu regretted it extremely much during this time, he shouldn't have let Chu Junlan set off alone, if he didn't make this decision, Chu Junlan would not have stepped into the complicated quagmire of Huaijing.
The competition between the Huaijing faction, the relatives, and the royalist faction, even the emperor himself did not make the details clear, let alone Chu Junlan, a weak woman.
Xiao Xu couldn't get news of Chu Junlan these days, he couldn't eat or sleep worriedly, and he had a headache all day, and now he heard Chu Junlan concisely tell what happened after arriving in Huaijing, even if Chu Junlan didn't explain the details, Xiao Xu still understood how much danger Chu Junlan experienced during this period.
If she hadn't had the ability herself, could she still have her life with the few people he arranged?
Xiao Xu's heart turned back and forth, but in fact, it was only time to breathe.
Emperor Jinghong said in a deep voice: "Chu Clan, I really want to believe your words, but your words have no basis, how can I believe you?" You said that you were not arrested, but the report sent to me by the commander of the Jinyi Guard said that you were openly arrested!
"You said that you did not persecute the second son of the king of Huai'an, but Xiao Yunchang is now unconscious. You said that you didn't assassinate the prince of Huai'an, but on the report of the Huai'an Palace, if the prince hadn't exposed your conspiracy a long time ago, then the person who died now would not be a stand-in, but the prince of Huai'an himself! ”
Emperor Jinghong leaned forward and said in a deep voice: "Chu Clan, how do you prove yourself for these things?" Huai'an Palace, but there is human and material evidence! ”
Chu Junlan was speechless for a while when Emperor Jinghong said, and said for a while: "Human and physical evidence? If it is one's own person, it can also be counted as testimony, then the courtiers also have witnesses, and now the witnesses are all locked up in prison!
"If you talk about physical evidence, as long as the emperor finds someone who understands medical skills to diagnose and treat the second son, and then looks at the prescriptions that have been prescribed, the pulse cases that have been written, the prescriptions that have been studied and the residue of the medicines, you will know that the courtiers have not harmed the second son, but have been saving him."
When Emperor Jinghong heard this, his face softened slightly, he didn't want Xiao Xu's wife to be a real prisoner, Xiao Xu had been stupid since he was a child, and they had their current relationship after several twists and turns, and Emperor Jinghong didn't want to be completely separated from Xiao Xu from now on.
"What you said, I will naturally order someone to verify it. But as you said, if your own words are not evidence, the testimony of both of you is not counted, and the Huai'an Wangfu is the bitter master, so you naturally want to prove your innocence. And now, how can you prove it? The palace has been copied, and a lot of evidence is probably gone. ”
This is also the difficulty, the difficulty is that it is difficult for Chu Junlan to prove his innocence. The Huai'an Royal Mansion was able to use Xiao Yunchang's death to confirm Chu Junlan's crime.
Emperor Jinghong pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, I will give you a way to live, and hand over the gold medal of exoneration, which will offset your sin, and I will not object to it." ”
Xiao Xu naturally did not object, otherwise he would not have tried every means to send the gold medal of exoneration to Chu Junlan.
"The minister has no objection."
Chu Junlan lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment but shook his head: "The courtiers thank the emperor for his kindness, but I am afraid that the courtiers will live up to your kindness." ”
"What, you don't want to give you a way to live?" Emperor Jinghong became a little irritable.
"Back to the emperor, no one wants to die, but what the courtiers have not done, the courtiers can't confess. It is the emperor's grace to use the gold medal of exoneration to save the lives of the courtiers, but once the gold medal is used, it proves that the courtiers have admitted the crime. This black cauldron, the courtiers don't carry it. ”
What's more, Chu Junlan clearly knew that if she was guilty of this crime, the entire Prince Gong's Mansion would be considered guilty of rebellion.
Even if she can use the gold medal to get away with the crime, Xiao Xu will not be held accountable because of blood relationship, but the entire mansion of Prince Gong will collapse. Chu Junlan didn't feel much sorry for the people in the palace, but she could do it herself if she wanted someone to die, but she would never tolerate being calculated so far.
"You!" Emperor Jinghong was furious, "It's just a little woman, do you think you are an immortal?" ”
