Chapter 246: King Rui is innocent
Looking at Li Shengshu's faint and unfazed appearance, I don't know why, but Li Jinyu's heart swelled with strong grievances.
He wanted to tear Li Shengshu's cold face apart!
Why is it that he is surrounded now, but he still does not have the slightest vulnerability? Why!
With such a thought, Li Jinyu sneered and mocked: "King Rui, you brutalized the people of Beichuan and even poisoned them, and now you dare to enter the palace?" ”
"According to the law of our dynasty, if you brutalize the people like this, even if you are the prince, you should be guilty of the same crime as the people, and you should be beheaded."
After saying this, Li Jinyu turned to these eunuchs, palace maids and ministers, "You say, aren't you?" ”
"That's it, King Rui is so cruel, he deserves such a punishment."
"If you don't arrest him, I'm sorry for so many people in Beichuan!"
"King Rui should be beheaded!"
The chattering voices came out, all of which were unfavorable to Li Shengshu. However, the people who discussed it were all palace maids and eunuchs, and none of the ministers spoke.
"Ministers, what do you think?" Li Jinyu deliberately wanted to show it to Li Shengshu, but turned her head to ask.
Immediately, a minister who was originally standing on Li Jinyu's side stepped forward and responded: "What His Royal Highness the Second Prince said is reasonable. ”
Weichen also thinks so. Without further ado, His Royal Highness the Second Prince quickly ordered this fierce and brutal person to be arrested. ”
The people who spoke were all from Li Jinyu's side.
But although the minister who was good friends with Li Shengshu in the past did not speak, it meant that he also supported Li Jinyu.
Li Shengshu was a little incredulous.
Just one thing can really change people's hearts? He turned his head slowly, his gaze falling precisely on the ministers he had befriended.
But those ministers pursed their lips, and most of them turned their eyes away and were unwilling to look at Li Shengshu.
That is, the camp has changed.
Sensing this, Li Shengshu's heart froze. I don't know if it's the imperial court that is such a general trend, or the faint suspicion in their hearts.
He also pursed his lips and was no longer silent, his eyes swept over everyone present inch by inch, and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Li Jinyu, the essence in his eyes flashed: "It's not me who killed the people of Beichuan at all, and all of this is simply you, Li Jinyu's conspiracy!" ”
Li Shengshu's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his gaze and tone were directed at Li Jinyu.
The smile on Li Jinyu's lips froze, and she laughed casually: "King Rui, there is no basis for empty words." You're just going to want to blame me with just one of your mouths, I'm afraid you can't do it, right? ”
Everyone was still shocked and didn't come back to their senses in the words that Li Shengshu said just now, but who knew that immediately, Li Shengshu hooked his lips and sneered, "Naturally." ”
"Come on."
In a word, suddenly everyone saw several people walking out behind Li Shengshu, and there was still a little horror on their faces, and their bodies trembled.
These people, when they saw Li Jinyu standing there, seemed to be even more frightened, their bodies trembled like chaff, and then they knelt down.
"Tell me exactly what you told me before." There was an invisible oppressive force in Li Shengshu's voice, making those people feel as if they were back to the gray morning of yesterday.
They didn't dare to hide it.
One person trembled and said, "Yes, someone told me that as long as I dress up as a refugee from Beichuan and make trouble in front of King Rui's Mansion, I can get five hundred taels of silver." ”
"Who are you?" Li Shengshu asked lightly.
The man hesitated for a moment before saying, "...... Originally, he was a beggar in the capital. ”
Everyone was in an uproar.
And there are a few people who are also beggars in the capital, but there are also some people who are real Beichuan refugees. But these real Beichuan refugees were also brainwashed, and then gave huge benefits, so they followed to oppress Li Shengshu.
Moreover, as a refugee from Beichuan, they also magnified this matter a lot.
The more he talked about the back, the more everyone was in an uproar, and Li Jinyu's heart became more and more cold. These people are really unreliable, so they said it so simply.
He even had the intention of killing these people in his heart, but there was a slight kind smile on his face, and there was no change in the slightest.
After these people told the whole process of how the people of the second prince induced them to frame Li Shengshu, Li Jinyu spoke unhurriedly: "But these people you are talking about, there is no evidence at all that I instigated. ”
"There's this."
Li Shengshu seemed to have expected him to say this, and quickly took out a small whistle.
The whistle is very small, but it is delicate enough to be dark and unforgettable.
Seeing only this whistle, some of the ministers exclaimed in surprise, and the faces of some eunuchs and palace maids were also a little weird.
Because this whistle is obviously a token that can represent Li Jinyu. Because Li Jinyu has been too proud recently, there is almost nothing to hide about these things.
All of a sudden, the eyes of these people changed instantly.
Li Jinyu didn't expect Li Shengshu to get this whistle, and secretly grinded his teeth, but his complexion only changed slightly, so he immediately bit back and said, "Who knows if these people were bought by you with silver to frame me on purpose?" ”
"As for this whistle, it's simple." His eyes were gloomy like a poisonous snake, and he stared at Li Shengshu tightly, "I believe that with King Rui's magical powers, it will be easy to get a whistle." ”
As if to confirm his thoughts, Li Jinyu immediately looked at these people, with a slight bewitchment in his voice: "How much silver did he give you?" I can also pay double the price, as long as you tell the truth. ”
What truth? It's nothing more than trying to make these people bite back again.
Before these people could speak, Li Shengshu had already said lightly: "It is not enough for His Royal Highness the Second Prince to frame him once, and he actually wants to repeat his old tricks." ”
"You don't have to threaten them, now that they have told the truth, they will naturally not work for you anymore."
Although his words were light, the words he said contained a slight sense of tension.
Both seem to have a point, and neither is willing to budge. You know, if anyone loses at this time, it will be unreasonable.
None of the ministers spoke.
It is now difficult for them to tell who is telling the truth and who is false. Just when the two were facing each other, suddenly, a shrill voice came from there: "Concubine Chu has arrived!" ”
Everyone was looking that way.
Rao is Li Shengshu and Li Jinyu, they all nodded lightly towards Concubine Chu, and their eyes fell on Concubine Chu.
Concubine Chu was wearing a water-blue palace dress, which made her more and more warm as water, extremely beautiful.
Her voice was soft but also a little powerful: "According to the emperor's command, this palace is here to spread the word." ”
Concubine Chu's gaze swept over the people present, but when she touched Li Shengshu, she stayed for an extra second or two.
Just for a second or two, she withdrew her gaze as if nothing had happened.
Everyone present saw the bright yellow token she was holding in her hand, with the dragon totem on it. This is the emperor's thing, yes.
Only then did Concubine Chu slowly announce: "The emperor said that there is something strange about Beichuan, but King Rui is innocent. Therefore, the Beichuan case needs to be investigated separately. ”
After saying a word, it was almost audible that the needle had dropped.
Everyone didn't expect that what the emperor was going to say was actually this matter. They had just been confronting each other, and the Emperor had already heard about it?
Li Jinyu was stunned, and her heart was even more unwilling.
Why, why did it have to come to the rescue at this time? Or is it for Li Shengshu to clear up the relationship?
Li Shengshu also didn't expect that the emperor would give an edict at this time. It was only after a brief shock that he looked at Li Jinyu in front of him, and asked in his voice: "Then can the second prince remove all the guards next to King Rui's Mansion now?" ”
Although it was an inquiry, the words that came out were cold.
Li Jinyu looked at Li Shengshu's cold face, and made up her mind that he must be showing off, gritted her teeth, but still had to maintain a graceful demeanor on her face: "Naturally." ”
Now that the matter is almost settled, the other ministers have all retreated.
It's just that they're already thinking about it in their hearts.
It seems that the second prince is not so favored by the emperor. At this time, the emperor was still looking towards King Rui.
Li Jinyu saw the thoughts of some ministers clearly, but her heart was even more unbalanced. He gritted his teeth vigorously, and then looked at Concubine Chu in front of him, with hatred and suspicion in his eyes.
Concubine Chu came really too coincidentally.
"Did you do it?" Li Jinyu walked towards Concubine Chu, her voice was cold, and her face was gloomy.
This is completely different from the usual humorous Li Jinyu.
Looking at the gloomy face that was close at hand, Concubine Chu felt a chill rise irrepressibly in her heart, but she chuckled lightly and tried to calm down: "What is His Royal Highness the Second Prince talking about?" The concubine really didn't understand. ”
But at this moment, her wrist was already clenched hard by Li Jinyu. He didn't have any intention of slacking off at all, but kept holding it tighter and tighter.
This powerful force made Concubine Chu frown slightly. She broke free with all her strength and said in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, you hurt your concubine." ”
"If you do this again, the concubine really doesn't mind telling the emperor about this matter."
Hearing Concubine Chu's soft words, Li Jinyu's eyes flashed. How dare you threaten him?
However, in the end, he still let go of Concubine Chu's wrist. Concubine Chu was just let go, and immediately turned around and left, without the slightest intention of turning around.
Li Jinyu looked at the back of Concubine Chu leaving, but her face was still a little gloomy. Don't think he didn't see it, just now Concubine Chu was obviously paying more attention to Li Shengshu.
In other words, it is very likely that Concubine Chu is blowing the pillow wind beside the emperor, so there is today's message.
Concubine Chu returned to the emperor's bedroom, and Li Jinyu followed behind her, without speaking, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Who knew that Concubine Chu had just arrived at the dormitory here, and the princess who had been serving the emperor immediately said: "Niangniang, you can count it back, the emperor just vomited blood again, it seems to be more serious." ”
"What?"
Concubine Chu was startled, and even if she didn't care about anything else, she quickly ran into the emperor's bedroom to see the emperor's situation.
Seeing the panicked and worried look on Concubine Chu's face that was not concealed at all, the princess secretly sighed in his heart, it seems that Concubine Chu is really affectionate to the emperor, otherwise she would not be so worried.
However, such a thought had just passed, and the prince turned his eyes and saw Li Jinyu standing aside as if he was nothing.
Li Jinyu's expression was faint, and he stood there without the slightest intention of moving, as if he hadn't heard what the prince had just said.
The prince's eyes flickered slightly, and he slowly came to Li Jinyu, and said softly: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, the emperor is not feeling well, you should go and take a look." ”
Li Jinyu's expression was faint, as if he had just come back to his senses, and his eyes fell on the prince so lightly.
Wang Gonggong noticed that he seemed to have a little scrutiny in his eyes, and he was actually stunned in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and began to persuade.
