Chapter 46: A Royal Scandal
Pushing the door into the house, Fan Ruoci's surprise flashed on her face when she saw Shen Enlai, which was keenly captured by Shen Enlai. However, it was only for a moment, and Fan Ruoci returned to his old look. looked at everyone indifferently, as if everything had nothing to do with her, and it seemed that the Shuang who was locked next to her was not sent in by her. And it is such a woman who has caused the turmoil of the entire Lu State court today.
"Fan Ruoci, do you want to revise your testimony?" This was the first thing Gu Liangqiu said after entering the house.
"Go back to your lordship, don't change it." Fan Ruoci replied, not in a loud voice, but it made Shen Enlai hear firmness.
Fan Ruoci and Gu Liangqiu looked at each other, neither of them spoke, Shen Enlai didn't say anything on the side, her eyes went back and forth on the faces of the two, she knew that there was something between Fan Ruoci and Gu Liangqiu that she had not been told, and the confrontation under the table was just waiting for who would compromise first. Perhaps, Gu Liangqiu knew the reason why Fan Ruoci suddenly gave evidence, and perhaps, in this premeditation, Gu Liangqiu still had a scene that Shen Enlai didn't know. Thinking of this, Shen Enlai only felt that there was a yin wind in her back, she was involved in this case, but she didn't know anything, which was very dangerous.
"Fan Ruoci, that's all there is to say. Some of the costs are not what you can imagine. Shen Enlai didn't expect that the first person to compromise would be Gu Liangqiu. But her words didn't seem to change Fan Ruoci's mind, Fan Ruoci just nodded towards Gu Liangqiu. "Thank you, Lord Gu, for the reminder." The tone was as indifferent, but Shen Enlai could feel Fan Ruoci's respect for Gu Liangqiu, not as perfunctory as facing her, Shen Enlai didn't want to attribute this to power. She subconsciously thought that Fan Ruoci was not such a person, otherwise she would not be a stranger to the prince all these years. That can make her have such an attitude towards Gu Liangqiu, it can only be that there is a bond between Gu Liangqiu and her that Shen Enlai does not know.
Gu Liangqiu, the first female prime minister of the Lu State, has been in charge of the secret bureau for decades, with countless lives in her hands, and no official in the court is not afraid of her. is such a rumored cold and ruthless woman, but when they met for the first time, they gave Shen Enlai kindness. Shen En can't see through Gu Liangqiu, can't see through Fan Ruoci, can't see through cool. There are so many things she can't see. People are always the most elusive beings in the world, they can do a lot of evil but they can also put down the butcher's knife, they might
Vicious, but it can also be kind and warm in the next moment. This is the truest emotion, people are people, not sages and immortals, there are disgusts and likings, evil thoughts are naturally good, and the only difference is whether you can keep the bottom line. That's the real difference between humans and animals.
"Lord Gu, the folk girl still has something to say that she wants to judge Fan Ruoci alone, I don't know?" Seeing that Gu Liangqiu had the intention of withdrawing, Shen Enlai was unwilling to leave hastily without asking anything.
Gu Liangqiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Enlai with some surprise, he did not agree or refuse, Shen Enlai raised his head and looked directly at Gu Liangqiu's scrutinizing eyes, and did not dodge.
After a long time, "Yes." A word came out of Gu Liangqiu's throat, and Shen Enlai felt that he was gasping for breath. She bowed to Gu Liangqiu, "Thank you, sir." ”
"Squeak-" With the sound of the door closing, only Shen Enlai and Fan Ruoci were left in the room.
"Why did what I said to you that day become what it is the way it is the next?" Shen Enlai asked Fan Ruoci, but he didn't reply to Fan Ruoci, and spoke again, "I can guess what I said, you told the people on the prince's side." And you gave evidence to the crown princess, is it also the prince's plan? This is Shen Enlai's only reasonable guess, but this guess is too bold, she doesn't know why the prince took this move and involved the princess.
"Just a student, this is too bold." Fan Ruoci reminded out loud that Shen Enlai was a little overdone.
"Old general—" Gu Liangqiu's exclamation suddenly sounded outside the door, which also broke the confrontation between Shen Enlai and Fan Ruoci.
Shen Enlai's figure flashed while frowning, opened the door, signaled to the guards outside the door, and rushed out. It was the old general Zheng who had only met before, at this time, he was standing outside the courtyard, his face was flushed, and the green tendons on his neck were protruding, Shen Enlai stood far away, but he could also feel the suppression of the powerful internal force emanating from him. She may not be his opponent, very soberly aware. In terms of internal strength, Shen Enlai is naturally incomparable, but Shen Enlai is young, so both physically and mentally speaking, Shen Enlai has an advantage, so she is not bound to lose.
And why is General Zheng, who was originally good at looking at the cool, like this now? Gu Liangqiu stood opposite Old General Zheng, his brows furrowed, this was the first time Shen Enlai had seen this look on Gu Liangqiu's face.
And behind Gu Liangqiu, it is cool. Her hair was in a loose bun, spread out in pieces, and her left cheek was marked with finger prints, half of her face was red and swollen, and her left cheek was more than twice as large as her right.
"General, this girl was also present that day, she must have also seen the princess's private affairs." Suddenly, a cry rang out, Shen Enlai looked at the person who made the voice, a maid who was kneeling on the ground with red and swollen eyes, raised her hand, and her fingers resolutely pointed at Shen Enlai.
I'll go-Shen Enlai scolded in his heart, what's the situation? And General Zheng had already raised his feet and walked towards Shen Enlai.
"You also know Qi Feng?" Old General Zheng said as he walked, the word "Qi Feng" made Shen Enlai stunned for a moment, this name is so familiar... Oh, it's him! The one in a wheelchair, Xu Xi's senior brother, Qi Feng!
But why is the name suddenly mentioned at this moment? The embarrassed cool, the angry old general Zheng, the crying maidservant... A light suddenly flashed in Shen Enlai's mind.
"On that day, did Shuang'er have a transgression with Qi Feng?!" Old General Zheng spoke again, and Shen Enlai was sure that what he was thinking was not biased. Sure enough, he was doubting the relationship between Qi Feng and Shuang.
"General, that day—" Shen Enlai had just spoken, but was interrupted by Shuang before he could finish speaking.
"Uncle, it's Shuang'er who is focused on Qi Gongzi, and it has nothing to do with him."
"Evil Barrier!" Shuang's words angered General Zheng again, and General Zheng scolded and then turned around and killed in the direction of Shuang. Gu Liangqiu saw that the situation was not good, and dodged in front of Shuang.
"Old General Zheng—"
"Uncle-" The two voices sounded at the same time, and the crown prince Wen Xingjian arrived, and Wen Xingxing was with him.
And at the moment when he saw Wen Xingjian, the momentum of Old General Zheng instantly decreased, and he saluted Wen Xingjian, "Old minister, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Uncle doesn't have to be polite." Wen Xingjian stepped forward to help General Zheng up.
"It's the old minister who has taught no way, taught such evil obstacles, and insulted His Royal Highness the Prince-" Old General Zheng is no longer so arrogant, and there is still a hint of old age in his words, Shen Enlai understands that his love for the prince is sincere. So when such an ugly thing happened, his heartache and guilt were also real.
"Uncle is serious, this matter is just a misunderstanding. Shuang'er and Jian'er are just angry. I also know Qi Feng's son, it's not like the rumored relationship with Shuang'er, uncle don't worry. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to cover it up for me anymore, it's me who is sorry for you." Seeing that General Zheng's emotions were calmed down by Wen Xingjian, Shuang spoke again, even Wen Xingjian frowned and yelled at Shuang a little annoyed, "Shuang'er, stop!" ”
Shen En looked at Shuang, Wen Xingjian obviously wanted to save her, cheating, especially cuckolding the prince, it was a scandal for the entire royal family, but Shuang seemed to have to deduct herself from such a big crime, what did she want to do? Looking for death?
"It's so lively!" Ihanjun was here again at the wrong time. Moreover, it is obvious that he listened to the royal scandal of the Lu State word for word.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it seems that this woman is not attractive enough..."Mu De coughed lightly and smiled to hide the corners of his mouth.
"Are all the guards at the door dead?!" Wen Xingxing looked at Yi Hanjun and Mu Dejian who appeared, his face was so angry that he turned red, and he couldn't help but scold in a whisper, but Shen Enlai listened to it word for word.
Now, I'm afraid it's not going to end well. Shen Enlai quietly stepped aside, and the next confrontation was not her turn.
