Chapter 453: Xiao Yao pleaded guilty
Xiao Yao couldn't help but raise his voice, but the Lord of Fuling was stimulated and couldn't control his words and simply opened his words.
"Xiao Yao, don't pretend to be confused, what the six princes think about Princess Mingzhu, I don't believe you can't see it with your cleverness. Sooner or later, the pearl will fall into her hands, and whoever marries Gu Fanghua will not end well! ”
Xiao Yao was silent.
Lord Fuling felt that what he said was reasonable, and simply said: "Since the sixth prince has become the prince and the prince, it is already a matter of nine out of ten. Then it's too late for you to get out of the way! As long as you marry another young lady, the six princes will naturally be able to see your loyalty, and your future will be limitless! ”
"Well, grandmother, you don't have to say that. Unless Mingzhu ruins his promise, it will be a sword mountain and a sea of fire, and I will marry Mingzhu. ”
Xiao Yao's expression was calm, his eyes were calm, and his insistent appearance gradually coincided with the situation of breaking with his son in the depths of the memory of Lord Fuling.
"Xiao Yao! You're playing with fire! Really looking for death! Did You Know? ”
The Lord of Fuling County was so angry that his breath became short, and he pointed at Xiao Yao, looking like he hated iron but not steel.
Xiao Yao was still silent, and the Lord of Fuling raised his hand, grabbed the teacup next to him and threw it to the ground. Listening to the crisp sound of "bang", it was a mess all over the ground, and then he was still angry, and pushed the square table next to him to the ground again, so that he was more comfortable.
Immediately afterwards, Fu Ling said loudly: "Xiao Yao, I won't allow you to mess around, you are a child of the Xiao family, so you have to think about things for the sake of the Xiao family." The honor of this Xiao family's double marquis is to be passed down through the ages, and I don't allow you to destroy it. ”
Xiao Yao looked at Lord Fuling with disappointment, but still didn't change his original intention.
"Grandmother, the origin of this Xiao family's double marquis is what my eldest brother and I exchanged our lives for. The eldest brother is stationed at Shanhaiguan, and the emperor will not revoke his title, and I, the Marquis of Yingyi, even if I really don't want it in the future, I will not be a villain who breaks my promise. ”
Seeing Xiao Yao's stubborn appearance, the county lord of Fuling was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.
"Xiao Yao, do you really want to be angry with me?"
"Grandmother, it's not that I'm angry with you, it's that you haven't figured it out. Now you can think that after the six princes take the throne, they may have no feelings for Mingzhu, so they will deal with me. Then why didn't you think that if I was treacherous, Empress Dowager Zhong and the emperor would not let me go now? ”
After Xiao Yao finished speaking, he was also a little tired, and said to the Lord of Fuling: "Grandmother, you can think about it again." ”
After speaking, he turned around and strode away, leaving the Lord of Fuling stunned on the spot.
If you don't marry Mingzhu and curry favor with the six princes, you will offend the Queen Mother, and something may happen soon. Marrying Mingzhu offended the six princes, and the future end is basically expected.
So, it seems that there is no third option?
No, there is still a third way, you can wait for the Lord of Mingzhu to dislike Xiao Yao, and take the initiative to summon others as colts, then Xiao Yao will be at ease.
Lord Fuling thought about it again and again, and suddenly his headache cracked, and he began to snort vigorously.
Mama Wei immediately asked people to take the name card and go to the imperial doctor.
And Xiao Yao was already on the way to the palace at this time. On the second day after he arrived in Tongzhou, someone sent a decree to him to return.
When he returned to the capital, he fortunately went to Ye Shisan's Mansion first to get a general understanding of the situation, so that he could rush back to the mansion to relieve his grandmother's siege and atone for his sins.
Now, the Queen Mother's displeasure is inevitable, and Mingzhu must be waiting for her to explain, so she still has to enter the palace as soon as possible and take the blame.
When Xiao Yao rushed to the palace, Gu Fanghua was stunned when she heard that Xiao Yao wanted to see her.
However, Dongchun said again: "Princess, the Queen Mother has invited Marquis Xiao to go to Cining Palace to talk first, and the princess can come over later." ”
Gu Fanghua chuckled, it seemed that grandmother was trying to clean up Xiao Yao.
It's okay for him to be cleaned up by his grandmother, so that his tail won't be lifted to the sky. The lord of Fuling is an elder, and it is not good to blame him, so Xiao Yao is a junior, so he scolds casually.
Although Gu Fanghua said to Empress Dowager Zhong that there was no displeasure and resentment, this time the Lord of Fuling County openly slapped her face, and she still felt a little unbearable in her heart.
"Well, you go back first, I'll come back later."
Gu Fanghua estimated that her grandmother would definitely give Xiao Yao a disadvantage, and she planned to go over later, so that her grandmother would be angry first.
Anyway, Xiao Yao has thick skin and rough meat, even if he is tossed with difficulty, he can't die.
Sure enough, Gu Fanghua guessed correctly, now that Xiao Yao was kneeling in Cining Palace, the Queen Mother had no intention of letting him get up.
As soon as Xiao Yao came in, he knelt on the ground and saluted, but Empress Dowager Zhong didn't say that he was flat, so he could only kneel on the cold marble floor.
"Marquis Xiao is okay this time, can it go well?"
Xiao Yao knew that his departure from Beijing should be the meaning of the Queen Mother, and the Empress Dowager Zhong is obviously angry when she asks like this now.
If your answer goes well, but you obviously come back on the second day, and you haven't done anything, how can it be smooth? This is to deceive the Queen Mother, and the crime is to deceive the king.
If your answer doesn't go well, but where it doesn't go well, and you can't say it, it's still not right.
It's really, a dilemma.
Xiao Yao thought for a while, kowtowed, and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, this way to Tongzhou, the road is quite smooth." It's just that I just arrived in Tongzhou, and before I had time to investigate, I was recalled by the emperor again, and the tolerance has not yet begun. ”
Empress Dowager Zhong nodded secretly in her heart, Xiao Yao really deserved to be the champion, and his thinking was quick. In this way, you can quickly see your own verbal traps, and you can answer appropriately and thoroughly.
However, since he has the intention to make things difficult, Xiao Yao also has to bear it.
"I heard that your cousin died, so since you returned to Beijing, why didn't you give her a ride? What are you doing in a hurry to enter the palace? ”
Xiao Yao secretly smiled bitterly, and arched his hand: "The Queen Mother has clearly investigated, although Miss Fang is my cousin, she is not familiar with her at all. I entered the palace to ask the princess for guilt and let the princess deal with it. ”
"Unfamiliar? Unfamiliar Yan Rujing will take Fang Miaomiao and openly enter the palace to provoke Mingzhu? ”
Empress Dowager Zhong pretended not to hear it, Xiao Yao took the meaning of Jing pleading, sank her face, and released her whole body with coercion. The momentum was fierce and surging, so that Xiao Yao couldn't bear it a little, and tried to straighten his back.
"Back to the Queen Mother, my grandmother is old, and sometimes it is inevitable to act as she wants. If there is any offense to the Queen Mother, please ask the Queen Mother Haihan, and I will make amends on her behalf. ”
Empress Dowager Zhong sneered: "Haihan? Make amends? The mourning family did not take her life, because the Xiao family was full of loyalty, and for the sake of your grandfather and father, who were all killed on the battlefield. If it was the temperament of the early years of the mourning family, he would be beaten to death directly! ”
Xiao Yao could only kowtow and say: "Xiao Yao thanks the Queen Mother for her tolerance and forgiveness for her grandmother's mistakes." ”
Empress Dowager Zhong looked at Xiao Yao, and saw that he was dusty, and the corners of his clothes and boots were all plaster, so she knew that he must have just returned to Beijing, so she immediately came to ask for guilt.
At least, the attitude is still correct.
