Chapter 41: The Prince's Punishment
"Wait a minute." Wei Yun's hand grabbed him, and the moment his fingertips touched, it seemed that an electric current was running all over his body, Wei Yun hurriedly retracted his hand, "You take this lantern." β
Lin Mo stared at Wei Yun deeply, seeing that Wei Yun was uncomfortable, and just as she didn't know how to react, Lin Mo took the lantern in her hand and responded softly: "Well, I'm leaving, you rest early." β
Lin Mo gradually disappeared into the night, Wei Yun took a few deep breaths, suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and turned his head to meet Liu Xiuyue's mother and daughter who were watching the play at the door, Wei Yun called out politely: "Big lady." β
Lin Mo left, and Chuntang trotted forward to follow Wei Yun, and saluted Liu Xiuyue's mother and daughter: "Big lady, third miss." β
"No wonder I didn't see my eldest sister all day today, it turned out to be a private meeting."
As soon as Wei Cai'er spoke, it was an ugly word, Wei Yun frowned slightly, ignored it, and walked forward by herself, Chuntang heard that her young lady was slandered, she was quite angry and helpless.
"You ......" Wei Cai'er was ignored, and she was about to attack when Liu Xiuyue interrupted her.
"Yun'er."
Liu Xiuyue patted the back of Wei Cai'er's hand and signaled her to be restless.
Wei Yun stopped, turned around and raised his eyebrows: "Something?" β
"Where did Yun'er and Major General Lin go? Why did you come back so late. β
Liu Xiuyue pretended to be concerned about the inquiry, and Wei Yun said coldly: "Is this related to you?" β
"Yun'er, what are you talking about, I am the mother of the Wei family, and you are the daughter of the Wei family, of course it is related." Liu Xiuyue paused for a moment and continued, "Our Wei family is also a big family, and how many eyes are staring at it, just hoping that we will do something to corrupt the atmosphere." β
Wei Yun asked indifferently, "What does the eldest lady want to say?" β
"I mean, this woman should abide by the women's training, don't be away from home all day, go out early and return late, and be unclear with the man, this spreads, makes people misunderstand, and loses the face of the Wei family."
Liu Xiuyue looked kind and kind.
Wei Yun sneered in her heart, but her face was humbly obedient, and she echoed: "The eldest lady is extremely right. β
Liu Xiuyue's mother and daughter showed a slight smug expression, and just as they were about to give a few more words, they heard Wei Yun continue, "Last time, our Wei family had a life lawsuit, and now there are people talking about it. β
Seeing the subtle changes in Liu Xiuyue's expression, Wei Yun's mood instantly improved.
"This woman should really abide by the women's training, be of good character, don't cause trouble, lose the face of the Wei family, and in the end, she needs others to help deal with the aftermath."
The expression on Liu Xiuyue's face froze suddenly, she pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly, grabbed the handkerchief tightly with both hands, and watched Wei Yun stretch her waist and walk away.
The next day, the sky was just bright, and in the magnificent hall, hundreds of civil and military officials stood according to their positions, Gu Jingyue glanced at the smiling Yonghou with a smile on his face, and his heart was full of doubts.
Yonghou has never dealt with himself, and he has a black face when he sees each other on weekdays, but today is he taking the wrong medicine? Actually said hello to yourself?
"The Emperor has arrived."
Gu Jingyue was thinking about it, and as the eunuch shouted, the emperor in the bright yellow dragon robe was sitting on the dragon chair with the support of the eunuch.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live...... "Hundreds of officials knelt down and shouted three times.
The emperor glanced at everyone, raised his hand and said, "All Aiqing is flat." β
"Something to start, nothing to retreat." The eunuch tilted his head slightly and shouted sharply.
Yonghou stepped forward, held the wat board, leaned over and said: "Enlighten the saint, the minister has the right to participate." Seeing that the emperor agreed, the eternal marquis continued, "The minister wants to impeach His Royal Highness the crown prince for attempted rape and murder. β
When these words came out, the hall was in an uproar, and all the officials turned their eyes to Gu Jingyue, and the emperor's face became solemn.
Gu Jingyue's face changed, she threw her sleeves angrily, and stared at Yong Hou coldly: "Yong Hou, you don't talk nonsense and slander me." β
"Hmph, blame." Yonghou sneered, and continued: "Qi Song Sheng, the prince paid a private visit yesterday, first beat people in a brothel and made trouble, and after leaving, he tried to rape the people's daughter with the strength of alcohol, and actually brutally killed her and abandoned her body in the deserted alley. β
Forever Hou reprimanded Gu Jingyue's evil deeds, and his words were all disappointed, and the officials exchanged heads and talked secretly. When Gu Jingyue heard this, he glared at Yonghou viciously, believing that Yonghou had framed him.
No wonder Forever Hou's attitude changed this morning, and he was going to be caught off guard, he had never done any of these things!
"Father, the son of the emperor is wronged, the son of the son never left the palace yesterday, let alone kill people, I ask the father and the emperor to see and give the son a justice."
Gu Jingyue bowed over, his words were sincere, not like a fake, the emperor pondered for a while, and asked: "Forever Hou, you said that the prince killed someone, is there any evidence?" β
Yonghou presented Gu Jingyue's token with both hands: "This was found next to the female corpse." β
Yesterday, the news of Gu Jingyue's big trouble in Chun Yage came, he was very angry, but it was just a trivial matter, and he couldn't participate in Gu Jingyue's book, hum, attempted rape, murder and extermination, now I want to see how Gu Jingyue turns over.
The emperor motioned for the eunuch to present the evidence, and when Gu Jingyue's token came into view, the emperor closed his eyes and raised his hand to signal the eunuch to show Gu Jingyue.
Gu Jingyue froze at the moment when Yonghou took out the token, until he saw clearly that the evidence was his token, Gu Jingyue's eyes widened instantly, and he groped around his body in a panic, trying to find the token.
Anger appeared on Emperor Wubo's face, and he pointed at Gu Jingyue's token and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?" β
Gu Jingyue knelt on the ground with a plop: "Father, my son doesn't know, when did this token be lost, ask my father to check it." β
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you still want to quibble? This is what you left at the scene of the crime yesterday. Donggong Token, your portable token, who else has it but you? β
Always aggressive, Gu Jingyue hurriedly defended herself, meaning something.
"This is clearly someone stole Erchen's token, framed and framed, Erchen did not leave the palace yesterday, and the East Palace can testify from top to bottom."
"The East Palace is full of His Royal Highness the Prince, and their testimony is not enough to be trusted!" Seeing Gu Jingyue's constant quibbling, the emperor did not express his position, and then took another dose of fierce medicine, "Your Majesty, do you remember the murder case in the south of the city?" β
Gu Jingyue's pupils shrank, and the emperor said in a deep voice: "What's wrong with this matter?" β
Yonghou arched his hand and said: "That gangster who was beaten into a trick, died tragically in the suburbs, was only recently discovered, transported to Yizhuang, the wound was fatal, and the minister investigated and learned that the time of death and the investigation of the cause of Zhao Qian's death were the same day, obviously someone wanted to kill him." β
The emperor said, "Who killed it?" β
"Chen originally wanted to inquire about Zhao Cai, but found that Zhao Cai was also dead, which is too strange, and Zhao Cai, he is powerless and powerless, how can it be so easy to find clues, even if it is Major General Lin, it took nearly a day, unless someone behind him is helping him."
Forever Hou's gaze fell on Gu Jingyue, and the person he was alluding to was obvious.
The prince fabricated evidence to slander the Wei Mansion, once this matter spread, how would people in the world talk about it? The Emperor did not want to talk about it anymore.
"This matter is over, since you are curious, let me leave it to you to investigate." The emperor looked at Yonghou meaningfully, and Yonghou bowed his head.
"As for the prince, the token is in your hand, can you still run away with long feet? Spread such ugly things, let the people see you, how they see me! Go back and reflect on it, if it's okay, don't come out. β
"Fatherβ"
The emperor patted the case: "Enough, you are really incompetent!" If nothing else, retreat. β
Forever waiting for success, he glanced at the prince from afar, and his eyes showed pride.
Early in the morning, the emperor ordered Gu Jingyue to think about it behind closed doors, and the news spread all of a sudden, and there was talk of this matter everywhere, and Wei Yun, who was staying in the Wei Mansion, soon received the news, and her eyes flashed with joy.
"Rape can't be done, murder is extinguished, plus the Qinglou incident, Gu Jingyue's reputation in the capital is stinky, and it will take a while to get better."
Gu Jingyue must have lost his temper in the East Palace, trying to find out who was hurting him.
Thinking of this, Wei Yun couldn't hide her excitement, put down the dumbbells in her hands, called Chuntang, and instructed: "You go find some wire, such a good thing, it's rare, you have to eat barbecue to celebrate, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare materials, you find things and put them in the yard, there is no wire, bluestone can also be, remember to be thin." β
Wei Yun rushed to the kitchen, picked out some refreshing vegetables, took out the meat in the cabinet, she rolled up her sleeves and cut thin slices, especially the best pork belly, some mutton, beef, and some tender fish.
After Wei Yun got it done, she began to mix the dipping sauce, there were too many things, she couldn't move them alone, and there happened to be someone waiting in the kitchen, so she called the person: "Please move these things to my yard." β
The subordinate put the same thing in the tray and brought it to Wei Yun's yard, Wei Yun took out the fire fold, lit the flammable firewood, threw it into the charcoal fire, smeared a layer of oil on the iron frame, and put a few pieces of pork belly on it to roast slowly.
"Can you still eat meat like this?" Chuntang was stunned and watched Wei Yun brush the seasoning, a fragrance came to his nose, and he looked delicious.
Wei Yun sandwiched the roasted pork belly with lettuce and handed it to Chuntang: "You taste it." β
Chuntang is full of juice in one bite, the lettuce is sweet, the meat is fragrant, and it is a little hot, extremely delicious, Chuntang fell in love with it after taking a bite: "Miss, how did you come up with this method, it's really delicious!" β
"It's better to use lettuce, there is no one here, so I can only settle for it."
Wei Yun was interested, and Chuntang said a lot of modern delicacies, Chuntang nodded again and again, she wanted to taste the pastry in her mouth, and she could see that the young lady was very happy, and it was the first time she had seen it recently.
"Miss, Young Master Lin is coming."
The next person came in to report, followed by Lin Mo, Lin Mo looked at Wei Yun who was holding his sleeves in front of him, holding a brush in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and was slightly stunned: "This is?" β
"Barbecue." Wei Yun beckoned, "Come here, eat together." β
Lin Mo stepped forward slowly: "It seems that you are in a good mood, I have good news to tell you, the prince has been restless recently, and some things have happened, the emperor is displeased, and he has already opened his mouth to warn and think about it behind closed doors." β
