Chapter 203: What About People?
Seeing this, Xie Yanhe hooked his lips.
In order to frame herself, Chen Rong deliberately dispatched palace people who didn't know water to the dragon boat, in order to ruin her reputation, but she didn't expect to suffer the consequences.
Chen Rong was unscrupulous by the prince's connivance, but she didn't know ...... After a while, how will the two of them face the bitter fruits of their own hands.
The palace maid and the eunuch who jumped into the water to save people fluttered on the water for a while, and gradually stopped moving.
There were only three or two palace people, and before they died, they forgot the strict palace rules and let out a few miserable shouts: "Help!" ”
Princess Fuqing twisted her eyebrows, and asked the steward eunuch on the dragon boat in a cold voice: "What's the matter?" Why don't these palace people who serve know how to water?! ”
The steward and eunuch muttered, unable to utter a word.
How dare he say that the palace people accompanying him on this ship were all arranged by Zhang Desong, a henchman beside the crown prince.
Seeing this, Princess Fuqing sneered: "This palace will settle accounts with you in the future"
Her face turned cold, and she instructed the guards on the ship, "You all go into the water to save people." ”
The commander listened to the order and waved his hand at his subordinates, and the guards on the ship immediately jumped into the water like dumplings.
The commotion on the deck was so loud that it inevitably reached the cabin.
Wei Zhao held the hand of the chess piece and paused.
Seeing this, the prince hurriedly said, "Father, son-in-law go out and have a look." ”
Wei Zhao didn't say good, nor did he say bad. With a "snap", the sunspot between his fingers fell on the chessboard.
Chu Yan glanced at the situation on the chessboard, respectfully arched his hand towards the emperor, and said sincerely: "My father is very good at chess, and my son is ashamed of himself. ”
Throughout the entire Great Wei, only the prince of Chu has this honor, and he can call himself a son in front of the emperor just by virtue of his identity as a concubine.
Wei Zhao's attitude towards Chu Yan was always cordial and a little casual, and when he heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "If you let me have two sons, how can I not see it." It's Fuqing, you still need to teach her well in the future. Her bad hand is that even a seven-year-old child is better than her. ”
Chu Yan was pierced by the emperor, but there was no panic in his expression, and he complimented him calmly: "I really can't hide anything from my father." However, although Wan'er has a good heart, she has no talent in chess, and her son is weak. ”
In the last sentence, there was a hint of pampering in helplessness.
The prince was anxious, but Wei Zhao didn't say anything, so he could only force himself.
Seeing this, Chu Yan got up and said to the emperor: "Father, the movement outside is a little bigger, Wan'er is still on the deck, and Erchen wants to go out and have a look." ”
"Go ahead." Treating Chu Yan's son-in-law, Wei Zhao bowed his head very casually, and even softened his tone with the prince.
"I know you're worried about the crown princess, so you can go out and have a look."
Although Wei Zhao let him go, his words still revealed the slightest dissatisfaction with the prince.
Wei Jin couldn't care about it, he got up and thanked him: "Erchen thanked his father." ”
With that, he strode out of the cabin.
Chu Yan sighed in his heart, and followed closely behind the prince, and there was a distance between the two that was not far or close, and it was clear.
On the deck, Princess Fuqing and Xie Yanhe leaned on the mast, leaning forward slightly, watching the movement on the water without blinking.
But if you look closely, you can find that the seemingly worried eyes of the two people do not reach the bottom of their eyes, and they are obviously not serious enough to act.
After the prince stepped out of the cabin, he saw the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar back on the deck at a glance, his pupils shrank, and he waved away the palace people who came over, and walked to the deck in a few steps.
"What's going on? Why don't you see the crown princess? The prince's tone was questioning, and his eyes were as sharp as knives when he looked at Princess Fuqing and Xie Yanhe.
Princess Fuqing ignored the prince's ugly complexion, she raised her sleeves to cover her cheeks, and sobbed: "Brother Huang, the imperial sister-in-law is too miserable, she was pushed into the water by the palace people who served her, and no one has been found until now." ”
The muscles of the prince's cheeks twitched unconsciously, he was too lazy to watch Princess Fuqing play, took off his robe, and was about to jump into the water.
Princess Fuqing raised her eyebrows. I didn't expect the prince to be willing to do this for Chen Rong.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't." Although Chu Yan didn't know whether the crown princess had a wife's handwriting when she fell into the water, helping his wife sweep the tail was already engraved in his instinct.
Chu Yan grabbed the prince's arm for the first time, and said in a deep voice: "The son of a daughter, you can't sit down." The crown princess has not yet appeared, which shows that the underwater situation is very thrilling, and there may be an undercurrent. Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are a daughter and carry the future of the entire Great Wei, how can you be in danger?! ”
Chu Yan's words were reasonable.
Even if the prince wanted to be angry, he couldn't find a reason.
He lowered his voice and scolded: "Chu Yan, you let go of Lone!" ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen forgives his fate." Chu Yan took a step back as a sign of respect, but he firmly grasped the prince's arm.
Chu Yan was born in a noble family, and he has been proficient in bows and horses since he was a child, although he has taken the path of serious imperial examinations, his martial arts have not fallen for a day.
However, the crown prince Wei Jin is a well-known scholar who values literature and ignores martial arts, and in terms of strength, he is not Chu Yan's opponent at all.
The prince held back his anger and said, "If you don't let go, don't blame yourself for being ruthless!" ”
Although the prince's voice was so low that it was almost a whisper, Princess Fuqing was extremely close to the two of them, and she happened to hear the prince's threatening words to Chu Yan word for word.
Princess Fuqing was angry, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and she shouted angrily: "The prince is so majestic! I want to see if you dare to touch the horses of this palace! ”
Angry, anxious, anxious...... All kinds of mixed emotions surged into his heart, and the violence in the prince's heart became stronger and stronger, his eyes were red, and he commanded his guards: "Take down Chu Yan for the lonely general!" ”
"What's the fuss!" A loud shout, the pitch is not very high, but the low, magnetic voice is like thunder, wrapped in a power that is enough to destroy the world, and the sound of "boom" exploded in everyone's ears.
The palace people fell to their knees in an instant. He said, "See Your Majesty." ”
Wei Zhao's eyebrows twisted slightly, looking at the figure that was constantly fluttering on the water, and in an instant, he deduced the cause and effect.
He said in a deep voice, "What's the matter? ”
The majestic and indifferent gaze has a sharpness that looks directly at people's hearts, and with a faint glance, it falls on Princess Fuqing's body.
Without him, among these people on the deck, only the eldest daughter is the most troublesome.
If Princess Fuqing opens her mouth, no matter who is right or wrong, she doesn't seem innocent.
Xie Yanhe pinched his palm hard, tears welled up in his eyelashes in an instant, and he called in a low voice: "Your Majesty ......"
A slight crack appeared in Wei Zhao's ice-cold and indifferent expression.
His gaze looked at the woman leaning on the mast.
Under the dazzling sun, the dress on her body was like a brilliant cloud, and the gold thread woven on the skirt was reflected by the sun, the golden light was sparkling, and the clouds were steaming.
Between a brilliant red gold, it seems that her skin is better than snow, her eyebrows are like daisies, at this moment her eyes are full of tears, and the crystal pearls will not fall, delicate and fragile like a glass beauty.
The eyelashes trembled slightly, the clothes were in the wind, the slender waist was full of bending, and the light and curvy posture had a feeling of weakness, as if it was going to feather away in the next moment.
Wei Zhao's heartstrings trembled, and a huge sense of panic suddenly appeared in his heart. He couldn't help but raise his footsteps, and in front of everyone's eyes, he walked to Xie Yanhe's side in a few steps and hugged the person into his arms.
Wei Zhao reproached: "How can you stand in such a dangerous place!" It rained a few days ago, and the water looked calm, but in fact the water was turbulent, and if you fell into the water, these palace people would have to bury you. ”
The man obviously said the coldest words, but his gentle tone was as gentle and warm as a spring breeze as if he was afraid of scaring Xie Yanhe.
"Your Majesty, Fang Cai, Fang Cai......" Xie Yanhe trembled lightly in Wei Zhao's arms, his eyelashes stained with tears seemed to be overwhelmed, and a transparent tear rolled down from Xie Yanhe's eyelashes and slid over the snow cheeks, as if dripping on Wei Zhao's heart.
Wei Zhao's fingers seemed to be burned, and he gently scraped the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "What kind of grievance has this been?" ”
As he spoke, his gaze swept sharply over the palace people on the deck.
Xie Yanhe sobbed lowly, her jade white fingers tugged at Wei Zhao's sleeve at a loss, a trace of panic leaked from her sparkling peach blossom eyes, and she said with a worried face: "Your Majesty, I was talking to Princess Fuqing just now. After a while, the crown princess also came to the deck. As he spoke, the atmosphere was a little stiff. I wanted to go back to the cabin, but I felt someone push me from behind, and if it wasn't for Princess Fuqing holding me, I would have fallen into the water. ”
When Xie Yanhe said this, Bei Yan bit his cherry lip lightly, as if he felt embarrassed, and said in a slurred manner: "Princess Fuqing fell into a ball with me in order to save me. The two of us were dizzy and dizzy, and before we could recover our senses, we heard the palace people shouting, 'The crown princess has fallen into the water'. However, the grandmother who followed the crown princess happened to be standing in the position of the crown princess, and she still maintained the posture of stretching her arms. ”
Xie Yanhe said this very skillfully. first pointed out that there were only two people on the deck, she and Princess Fuqing, but the crown princess led people to provoke, because of a quarrel, she instructed the people around her to push Yonghe and the county lord into the water, but was pulled by Princess Fuqing.
The crown princess failed to harm others, but harmed herself.
Princess Fuqing followed up and said, "Father, what Yonghe said is right. The daring slave has been taken down by his sons. But she is an old man who has served the emperor's grandmother, and this matter depends on her father's holy judgment. ”
Until today, the prince knows what it means to "refer to a deer as a horse" and what it means to be "clever like a spring"!
Obviously, it was Wei Wan who colluded with Xie Yanhe and caused Rong'er to fall into the water. Rong'er's life and death are unknown now, and these two people are going to fall into the well, which is really dampening!
The prince's fingers were trembling.
He couldn't help but retort: "What nonsense! Aunt Yao was loyal, otherwise she would not have guarded the imperial tomb for the imperial grandmother for twenty years. Fuqing, if you don't distinguish between the good and the bad, you will be charged with Aunt Yao's head, what is your intention! ”
Wei Zhaoli ignored the dispute between the crown prince and Princess Fuqing, but gently shook Xie Yanhe's soft twing.
The skin in the palm of his hand was a little colder than Xie Yanhe's usual skin, Wei Zhao's heart tightened, and a pair of dark ink eyes were gentle and pitying: "Were you scared at that time?" ”
