Chapter 038: Asking for Guilt
It is rare for Mrs. Su to enter the palace, and it is natural for Emperor Zhou to invite Mrs. Su and Su Le to stay in the palace for dinner.
After all, although Emperor Zhou is the king of a country, Mrs. Su is the princess of Herin canonized by the previous emperor, and she is also a hero of the southern kingdom, so for Emperor Zhou, Mrs. Su is like an elder, how dare Emperor Zhou entertain thoughtfully.
Therefore, Su Le was not surprised by Emperor Zhou's retention, the only surprise was that just before they had dinner, Zhou Qitian suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Why are you here?" Su Le pointed at Zhou Qitian, very surprised.
In Su Le's cognition, Zhou Qitian is the county order of Wancheng, so how could Su Le not be surprised when he saw Zhou Qitian in the palace, but ......
I remember that Mrs. Su told herself before, she said that Zhou Qitian must be respected as a god, otherwise the Su family will be in trouble.
At that time, Su Le was a little curious about Zhou Zutian's identity, but after Zhou Qitian recruited her into the yamen, she didn't know where to go, and Su Le gradually forgot about it.
Now that I think about it, the surname Zhou in the south can make Mrs. Su jealous, who else can there be besides the 'Zhou family' in the palace?
Sure enough, just when Su Le was thinking so, the slave beside Zhou Qitian shouted: "Presumptuous, the fourth prince is current, how can the girl be so rude?"
"Lele, don't be presumptuous!"
Mrs. Su was also secretly surprised, it was disrespectful to point to the prince of the dynasty like this.
Hearing this, Su Le put down his hand unhurriedly, and a touch of cunning flashed in his eyes: "Those who don't know are not guilty, Lord Zhou suddenly appeared in the palace, Su Le was surprised for a while, so he lost his manners, Lord Zhou won't worry about Su Le, right?"
is really a smart woman, first she doesn't know, and then she says an adult, which invisibly shows her innocence and shortens the distance between the two, how can he ask for guilt?
Zhou Qitian smiled: "The eldest girl has shouted a sentence from the hall, how can 'Lord Zhou' have the same knowledge as herself." ”
"Father, the matter you handed over to your son-in-law has been dealt with. Zhou Qitian turned to Emperor Zhou.
Emperor Zhou nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's a good job, the four princes have been observing the people's situation outside for a while, and they have gained a lot, but there are tricky things?"
"Father, everything is fine, but Erchen really has a tricky matter to report to his father. ”
"Say!"
"Father, I'm afraid this matter has to start with Ning Meiren. Zhou Qitian said.
"Oh?"
Emperor Zhou glanced at Ning Meiren, and Ning Meiren, who was serving Emperor Zhou from the side, was stunned for a moment, and secretly shouted badly: Zhou Qitian suddenly mentioned that he wouldn't just travel to Anhui City, and he also knew about his brother Ning Xianshi, right?
Although she was so suspicious, Ning Meiren's beautiful face was full of smiles, and she didn't panic at all: "Fourth prince, the concubine is in the deep palace, but you are traveling outside, how can what you said have anything to do with the concubine?"
Concubine?
Su Le mocked his lips, it seemed that it was not unreasonable for Leng Junshu to dare to kill Ning Xianshi.
In front of the four princes, Ning Meiren didn't dare to call herself a beauty or a little master, which shows how low the status of beauty is in this era, and Ning Xianshi still dares to call himself a national uncle?
It's ridiculous!
"Ning Meiren doesn't know, the palace has traveled abroad over the years, among them, he was a county magistrate in Anhui City for a while, during his tenure, the palace found that there was a very arrogant villain in Anhui City, he relied on someone in the palace, so he acted recklessly, killed people and plundered goods, and did all kinds of evil, and this person happened to be Ning Xianshi, the brother of Ning Meiren, so the palace was thinking, is this the connivance of Ning Meiren?"
Boom~
Ning Meiren was shocked into a cold sweat, her feet couldn't stand steadily, she looked at Emperor Zhou in a panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the concubine is in the palace, and I never knew that my brother had done so many hurtful things in the name of the concubine, Your Majesty is aware of it!"
Emperor Zhou's eyebrows wrinkled into Sichuan characters: "Fourth prince, what you said is the truth?"
Zhou Qitian arched his hand: "Back to my father, this matter is true, as far as Erchen knows, Ning Xianshi has been subdued two days ago, and he was beheaded by Erchen's acting county commander Leng Wangye, oh, by the way, the eldest girl is in the yamen, and she should know very well about this matter." ”
Leng Junshu is just acting as a county magistrate?
So, everything Leng Junchou did was instructed by Zhou Qitian?
Doesn't that mean......
Ning Meiren was shocked again, and the development of things was far beyond her expectations.
Ning Meiren originally thought that this matter was the 'credit' of Leng Junchou and Su Le, but she didn't want to, there was a Zhou Qitian behind them.
If it's just Leng Junshu and Su Le, Ning Meiren may still be able to find a way to deal with one or two, but Zhou Qitian, that is Emperor Zhou's most favored prince, what does she fight?
Ning Xianshi, Ning Xianshi, you really killed me!
But fortunately, I haven't had time to make a move on Su Le, otherwise I would have confirmed my 'revenge' heart.
However, just when Ning Meiren was secretly rejoicing, Su Le said: "Of course I understand, after all, I am also a party, Ning Xianshi mutilated Miao Ren's family, and assassinated me on the street, when the truth came out, he was still very arrogant and said that he was the uncle of the country, as long as Ning Meiren blew the pillow wind in front of His Majesty, Prince Leng would lose his position, and then forced us to release him, but although Prince Leng was only acting as the county commander, he was upright, so he beheaded him." ”
Su Le's voice paused slightly, and he suddenly laughed sarcastically: "Ning Meiren, don't you know this? I thought that you mentioned our ancestors and grandchildren in front of Your Majesty just to meet me, the 'enemy'!"
Rumble~
Ning Meiren felt that her brain had been blown open.
When Su Le said this, even if Emperor Zhou didn't think there was anything before, he must have become suspicious now, so Ning Meiren began to be worried.
After all, this is 'playing' with today's saints, and using today's saints as guns, if Emperor Zhou investigates it, she will not be able to cut off ten heads.
Thinking of this, Ning Meiren knelt heavily on the ground, not daring to raise her head: "Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know about her brother, when it comes to Princess Herin and the eldest girl, the concubine really just happens to know the deeds of the eldest girl in Wancheng, if you don't believe it, you can ask Zhuxi." ”
Speaking of Zhuxi, in the corner, a slave maid immediately stepped forward: "Your Majesty, what Ning Meiren said is true, the matter of the eldest girl was heard by the slave maid when she went home to save her relatives a few days ago, and then she happened to talk to Ning Meiren." ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know what her brother has done, the concubine is guilty of negligence, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive her guilt!"
"Okay, okay, what are you crying for?" Emperor Zhou helped Ning Meiren up: "Ning Xianshi's crime is heinous, the crime is unforgivable, since he has been killed, then this matter will be revealed!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ning Meiren secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her head was saved, but just when she was relieved, a voice made her lift her heart again.
"Wait!"
