Chapter 57: The Finger Is Pointed At

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted, but it was a mother behind Li Ningshuang.

"Mother Wan, in front of Your Majesty, no nonsense is allowed." When the queen heard this, she immediately frowned and said displeasedly.

Mother Wan immediately knelt on the ground, "The slave was speechless for a while, but suddenly remembered that she had seen this pattern, and she forgot the rules because she thought that it was very important." ”

The queen still wanted to reprimand him, but where would the emperor at this time still care about this, and asked sharply: "Mother Wan, when and where have you seen this?" ”

"This ...... The slave maid ...... "Hearing the question of the Son of Heaven, Mother Wan immediately trembled, and squeaked and whined for a long time but couldn't say a useful word.

Li Ningshuang also looked a little impatient, and frowned: "Your Majesty asks you something, you just answer it well, what are you doing with a squeak?" ”

"Mother Wan," the queen on the side showed a suspicious look, "You are a person around the palace, and it's not that you haven't seen the world, why don't you explain things clearly, is there something difficult?" ”

This sentence reminded the emperor that if it was said that a servant woman who had not entered the palace would be speechless because she was afraid of the might of the Son of Heaven, it was normal, but Mother Wan would never do it, and if you want to talk about it, it is only because of what the queen said.

"What the hell is going on?"

Mother Wan raised her head tremblingly, her eyes swept around, and inadvertently fell on Duanmu Qing's face, and then looked at the emperor with some timidity, and then lowered her head again, as if thinking about something.

Zhao Yufeng and Zhao Yuhong's hearts both jumped, and they all looked at Duanmu Qing in unison, could this matter be related to this girl?

But seeing that she was extremely indifferent to everything that was happening in front of her at this time, there was nothing abnormal, and when she looked closely, there was still a hint of mockery in those watery eyes.

Another mockery, Zhao Yufeng's heart flashed a trace of unhappiness, I don't know why, he especially hated to see such a look from these eyes, although this time, it didn't seem to be aimed at himself.

Zhao Yuhong couldn't help but be a little worried, others didn't know about the second prince, but he was extremely clear, this person has always tried to hide himself in the dark, and he will not come out if he is not very sure.

Just like this riot, whether it is the courtiers or the princes, they are secretly competing, and everyone wants to use this opportunity to show their faces in front of the emperor.

But Zhao Yuxing has never shown a trace of eagerness, and he works honestly every day, who knows that he is silent, and suddenly makes such a play, which catches the others off guard.

He knew that Duanmu Qing was at odds with his stepmother, and he also knew that it was almost to the point of incompatibility, this time, how were they going to deal with her? The charge of rioting on a small courtier seems a little unreasonable!

"Actually, slave maid...... The slave maid had met in the eldest lady's room. ”

Mother Wan seemed to have taken a lot of courage to say this, and then said to Duanmu Qing: "Miss, the slave maid didn't mean it, I accidentally saw it in the eldest lady's house with the old lady and the lady that day, and the picture that His Highness took out just now was too familiar, so the slave and maid accidentally shouted out for a while." ”

This seems to be logical, obviously Mother Wan accidentally shouted out the master's secret at first, and then the emperor asked, and began to wander in her heart.

Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Duanmu Qing, and the emperor's eyes were even sharper.

"Mother Wan, what nonsense are you talking about!" It was Duanmu Zi who spoke, and a face that was full of suppressed anger at this time, seemed to be very resentful of Mother Wan's words.

Finding that everyone present noticed her, Duanmu Zi hurriedly knelt down towards the emperor, "Your Majesty, Mother Wan is old, and her old eyes are dizzy, and my sister's embroidery skills are very good. ”

When Li Ningshuang heard this, she also knelt down and said, "Yes! This must be a mistake, our eldest lady doesn't go out of the door on weekdays, how can she be a member of the White Flame Sect! In the past, my sister was even more noble and never dealt with the outside world, which was impossible. ”

At this time, it is a little strange to look at this scene, the accusation is the mother next to Mrs. Yongdinghou, the accusation is the eldest lady of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, the kneeling is the lady and the eldest lady who plead, and the person who is sitting is the accused.

But no matter how you look at it, this Yongding Marquis Mansion is very united, the mother accused it was careless, and the intercession of the lady and the second lady was to do their best.

The queen smiled and said, "In this way, this palace also thinks that it may be a mistake!" Today, the palace looks at the Hou Mansion and is in harmony. ”

No matter how you say this, this Yongding Marquis Mansion can be regarded as the queen's brother-in-law, and if the riot is related to a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, the emperor doesn't believe it, so when he heard this, he nodded and said: "I think it's wrong, you don't have to kneel anymore." ”

Li Ningshuang and Duanmu Zi were grateful, but Duanmu Qing was still sitting in his seat, not saying anything, not doing anything, as if he was a complete outsider.

All this fell in Zhao Yuxuan's eyes, and it was very unpleasant.

He had seen Duanmu Qing slap Duanmu Zi twice, in his eyes, this woman was very vicious, and it was also weird, at this time, he saw Duanmu Zi pleading for her like this, but she seemed to be watching a play, and he was very unhappy.

thought that Duanmu Zi must have been bullied by Duanmu Qing, and at this time, he never dared to offend her again, and was forced to intercede for her, and he couldn't help but be extremely angry.

"Your Majesty spares your life, slave maid, slave maid did not mean it."

Mother Wan panicked at this time, if the emperor also thought that Duanmu Qing was innocent, then she would have fallen into a charge of intentional slander, this crime is not light or heavy, if you really want to be punished, it is not impossible to lose your head.

"The slave did see such a pattern embroidered on the eldest lady's handkerchief that day, and the eldest one, I thought it was strange at the time, so I remembered it, and it was definitely not deliberately arranged."

Speaking of this, Mother Wan was almost about to cry, and her old face was full of fear.

"Mother Wan, you still have to talk nonsense!" Duanmu Zi's beautiful eyebrows were tightly twisted, and there was a rare sternness in his charming eyes.

But at this time, Mother Wan didn't seem to care much anymore, and didn't care about Duanmu Zi's scolding at all, but seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, "Second Miss, the slave maid told you about this matter!" Didn't you say it was weird at the time? Isn't that weird? ”

Duanmu Zi's pink face immediately turned snow-white, and his lips and fingers trembled, "When did I hear you say that?" And when did you say anything strange? You admit that you saw it wrong, Your Majesty said it's okay, do you still blame you for being old and having bad eyes? ”

Hearing this, Mother Wan seemed to react, and immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic, "Your Majesty, it was the slave who made a mistake, please forgive Your Majesty." ”

The emperor was just about to speak, but Concubine Shu took the lead in asking, "Second Miss, I want to ask you something, can you solve my doubts?" ”

was talking about Mother Wan and the White Flame Sect, when Concubine Shu suddenly inserted such a sentence, which was a little abrupt and unreasonable on the outside.

But the emperor didn't say anything, and Duanmu Zi had no choice but to salute and say: "If Niangniang has anything to ask, just open your mouth, and the courtiers will definitely know everything." ”

"Xuan'er got some whisk incense a few days ago, and he didn't even give it to the palace, so he sent it to you directly, but the palace seems to have heard that you threw away all these spices, as far as the palace knows, you like spices the most, can you tell me, why is this?"

As for Zhao Yuxuan's show of favor to Duanmu Zi, the people with heads and faces in Tianjing basically know about it, so it's not a secret, but Duanmu Zi threw away all the things he sent over, but not everyone knew about it, and everyone was a little surprised when they heard it.

What was even more surprising was Duanmu Zi's reaction, she was originally standing after saluting Concubine Shu, but when she heard Concubine Shu say this, she fell directly to the ground, as if she couldn't stand such a sentence.

"What the hell is going on?" At this time, the emperor's face suddenly became very serious, and the two eyes fell on Duanmu Qing's face like a sharp sword.

"If the concubine is not mistaken, the people of the White Flame Sect worship nature, and they always hate artificial spices very much, and they act differently on weekdays."

Concubine Shu still saluted before continuing, "Mother Wan said that she had told the second miss about this matter, but the second miss, who has always liked spices, threw away all the spices, isn't it suspicious?" ”

"Speaking of this, the courtiers remembered something."

It was Wen Anhou's wife Li Ninglu who spoke, with a pretty face that was suspicious, as if she remembered something big.

"The stakes are high, you just have something to say." The queen said angrily, "When is it?" ”

"Yes," hurriedly saluted again, Li Ninglu frowned and said, "In the past, when Mrs. Yongding Marquis was here, the courtiers also went to the Yongding Marquis Mansion as a guest, and at that time, nine out of ten times I couldn't see Mrs. face, and I saw it by chance, and it was also a cold look, and I didn't seem to like to deal with people, and there were a lot of flowers and plants in the house, which had a strange fragrance and smell, but there was no spice that ordinary women loved to use." ”

As she spoke, Li Ninglu looked at the emperor's expression, and saw that he was thoughtful, and everyone else was looking at her before continuing.

"And I have also heard that the first lady did not have a maiden family, and it is very strange that the eldest lady entered the house with her for two years, and never stepped out to see anyone else since.

Originally, it was difficult for the courtiers to say this, but this is related to the safety of our Xiqi country, and the courtiers are a part of Xiqi, and they also know the truth that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, so it doesn't matter whether it is appropriate or not at this time. ”

The needle drop in the hall was heard for a while, and no one made a sound, but the emperor's face was already very gloomy.

No matter who it was, they could clearly feel the dull feeling that the mountain rain was coming, Duanmu Zi and Li Ningshuang were still kneeling on the ground, their eyes lowered, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.

Only Duanmu Qing still looked at the actor's expression, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her.

"Your Majesty, didn't I say I would be late? Why hasn't the table started yet? ”

Suddenly, a slightly playful, but hearty voice came from the silent hall.
