No rain.

Ji Cangzi looked back in surprise. He had been playing chess just now and didn't notice it. Although the sky outside is gloomy. But it didn't rain.

This...... How is this possible.

Shangguan Erya couldn't do something he wasn't sure about.

He didn't care if he lost the bet. Or slap yourself in the face. But he didn't want Shangguan Erya to have an accident.

Ji Cangzi was subconsciously thinking about how to help Shangguan Erya get out of trouble. And Shangguan Erya on the opposite side said indifferently: "Let's go. Don't let the emperor wait for a long time."

The Praetorian Guard was a little surprised. I couldn't help but look at Shangguan Erya twice.

Shangguan Erya's name has spread throughout Nanliang. This girl, who is praised as a genius, is really different from ordinary women. At this time, it is still facing the lake.

Are you really not afraid of death?

She made the emperor lose his trust to the people. It's like slapping the emperor in the face.

The leader of the Praetorian Guard leaned sideways. Still said very politely: "Lord Erya. Please."

Shangguan Erya turned around. Ji Cangzi said in a loud voice: "Wait a minute."

The leader of the Praetorian Guard did not dare to show his dissatisfaction. Just said: "Second prince. The emperor is still waiting. If you have anything to say, you might as well go to the emperor and say it. Otherwise, it's too late. I'm afraid that it will make the lord of Erya sin even more guilty."

"Good. I'll go with you."

Ji Cangzi thought in his heart that he must not let Shangguan Erya have trouble.

Shangguan Erya glanced at Ji Cangzi indifferently. There was no expression on his face.

Ji Cangzi has always been calm. Even at this time. I won't reveal my inner thoughts. On the one hand, he was worried about Shangguan Erya. On the other hand, I think it's strange. The above official Erya's methods will definitely not put herself in a desperate situation. He also wanted to see what Shangguan Erya wanted to do.

More than a dozen Praetorian Guards took Shangguan Erya and went directly to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

On the main hall. Except for the emperor. Empress Dowager Chen and others are there. Even the eldest prince sat next to him. Apparently just returned from Phoenix Terrace. Waiting for the prisoner to be judged.

As soon as Shangguan Erya entered the main hall, he saw that everyone was staring at him with unkind faces. Except that the emperor looked disappointed. Everyone else is gloating with a little bit of schadenfreude. Especially the corners of Concubine Li's mouth are almost grinning behind her ears.

Merely...... How long can some people laugh at the end.

Shangguan Erya indifferently stepped forward and knelt down. Didn't wait to speak. Empress Dowager Chen sighed. Erya. You've disappointed the mourners."

"Courtier's ......"

But some people still don't give Shangguan Erya a chance to speak. Concubine Li, who was behind the Empress Dowager Chen, immediately said: "Don't be angry. It's not worth it for this kind of person. You still have to take care of yourself. It's really that we overestimated Shangguan Erya's ability."

Shangguan Erya nuns. I just didn't open my mouth. Just let these people say enough.

The queen glanced at Shangguan Erya with a smile. Then he said to the emperor who was on the head: "Your Majesty. The concubine thinks that Shangguan Erya is not doing her best. Otherwise, how could you have calculated the matter of your enthronement ceremony so accurately?"

And the concubine was just about to speak. I saw Ji Cangzi, who came with Shangguan Erya, gave him a look. She can only be dumb.

I don't need to step on it myself anyway. Shangguan Erya will definitely die this time.

Now it's okay for Cangzi to be there. Just let him look at the woman he values. It's just a vain.

The eldest prince Ji Fanchen immediately accosted: "Queen Mother. You can't say that. The accession to the throne was in accordance with the will of heaven. He's the Son of God. Whenever you ascend the throne, the heavens will approve it. The weather will be good. It has nothing to do with Shangguan Erya at all."

Ji Fanchen glanced at Shangguan Erya hatefully. From the first time he saw this woman, he felt disgusted. I embarrassed myself a few times later. Not to mention the last time I almost framed myself.

He always felt that his sword was Shangguan Erya's hands and feet. Otherwise, it will be good when he uses it. In the hands of Shangguan Erya, there is a problem.

The Empress nodded. The emperor is right. That Shangguan Erya is the crime of deceiving the king. I don't have real skills and still do porcelain work. It's clear that it's to disgrace the emperor. Your Majesty, you must punish her well today."

Concubine Li heard the queen say this. I can't help but feel a little proud. Hurriedly chimed in." That's what the queen said. The emperor must not tolerate it."

The emperor suddenly rebuked in a deep voice. I haven't spoken. You've made decisions for me."

These words not only knocked the queen and Concubine Li. It also made Empress Dowager Chen a little embarrassed.

Empress Dowager Chen cleared her throat. We're worried too. Today, the emperor begged for rain to no avail. It will surely fall into the hearts of the people. So we have to come up with a way to block Yoyo's mouth."

"Father." Ji Fanchen got up and said, "Actually, the best way is to tell the world that Shangguan Erya is guilty of bullying the king. I don't know what to look at the heavens, and I have to choose the day. All of this is her fault. No one will say anything then."

The emperor snorted softly. Blame Shangguan Erya for all the mistakes. Didn't the world say that I have eyes and no beads? chose a woman who was not virtuous or talented to ask for rain. Does my face look good?"

"......" Ji Fanchen was choked speechless.

So what to do.

Then. Ji Cangzi, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly stepped forward and said, "Father. It's better to let Shangguan Erya explain what the hell is going on. Erchen thought that since Shangguan Erya dared to accept the order. It's impossible to joke with your life. Let's listen to what she explains."

Concubine He heard that Cangzi was giving Shangguan Erya a chance. Some dissatisfied: "Cangzi. What else is there to say by this time. No matter how much she explained, she couldn't change the fact that it wasn't raining. The truth is that she did it wrong."

Ji Cangzi's eyes were cold. Why does the mother concubine have to get along with Shangguan Erya.

The emperor groaned slightly. His eyes fell on the silent Shangguan Erya.

He's been observing for a long time. No matter what everyone in the hall said, her expression was faint. She is not afraid of death. Or is there really something unspeakable.

"Shangguan Erya."

"The courtiers are here."

The emperor said coldly: "Don't you have anything to say?"

Shangguan Erya pursed her lips and didn't speak. He only pursed his lips and looked embarrassed.

Everyone in the main hall saw Shangguan Erya's expression. In their hearts, they expressed their disdain. What kind of expression is she.

Isn't there anything hidden when it doesn't rain?

Concubine Li snorted. No matter what means Shangguan Erya wipes, it is impossible to turn over.

Ji Cangzi didn't think so. He had always known that Shangguan Erya was moody. Whether what she did was sincere or false. He knew it best.

He quickly guessed that Shangguan Erya had a backmove.

"Lord Erya. If you have something to say, you might as well say it." Ji Cangzi couldn't help but be the first to speak.

He just wanted to help Shangguan Erya. Even if it is used. I must not let this woman have any trouble.

Shangguan Erya's eyebrows frowned slightly. Ji Cangzi asked her if she would answer.

Ji Fanchen snorted: "Second brother. You're overthinking. If it doesn't rain, she's not capable. clearly deceived his father. How could there be any other reason."

Ji Cangzi raised his eyebrows. Just now, the eldest brother also said that his father is the true son of heaven. When you ascend the throne, the weather will be natural and clear according to the will of God. Then today, the father himself climbed high and begged for rain. Why didn't it rain?"

Ji Fanchen's face flushed. He rebuked, "What do you mean by that? Could it be that he is questioning that his father is not the true son of heaven?"

Ji Cangzi sneered in his heart. He said to the head: "Father. That's not what the son meant. It's that the sons and daughters feel that their father is the true destiny of the emperor, and the son of heaven does not ask for the rain to succeed. When things go wrong, there must be demons."

"That's of course Shangguan Erya's reason." The queen saw Ji Cangzi and her son going toe-for-tat. Aim the finger at him too." Cangzi, why do you always speak for Shangguan Erya. You have other purposes."

And the concubine almost jumped. If it weren't for the fact that Cangzi desperately hinted with his eyes not to act rashly. She couldn't take it anymore.

The hall is already in chaos. The emperor saw the true colors of these people clearly. Everyone has their own abacus.

"That's enough. I just want to hear Shangguan Erya speak now."

The emperor glared at Shangguan Erya. If there is any other reason, you name it. We will deal with it at our discretion. If not. That is the sin of deceit. Shangguan Erya, you have thought clearly."

Hahaha......

Concubine Li couldn't help but laugh wildly in her heart.

That's right. Shangguan Erya, you're talking about it. Whatever you say is wrong. That's a crime of deceit.

You're not dead this time.

Just as she was smiling triumphantly. Shangguan Erya suddenly kowtowed. The whole person fell to the ground. There was a slight choking in the trembling voice.

The courtiers felt that this was ...... There is indeed a strange ...... Please ...... the emperor."

She wasn't done yet. Voices came from outside the main hall." Emperor. Lord Liang of the Qin Heavenly Prison has a report."

"Let him in."

Concubine Li couldn't help frowning. What is Lord Liang doing at this time.

At that time, she was dissatisfied with Shangguan Erya. will work with them. Seize the matter of the drought in southern Xinjiang and make a statement to the queen mother and let Shangguan Erya come to ask for rain.

She knew that Empress Dowager Chen was also very dissatisfied with Shangguan Erya. It's going to be so smooth.

But now Lord Liang suddenly appeared. Is it for the sake of watching a play?

There's no rush either. Convicting Shangguan Erya first is the most important thing.

Just thinking about it. Lord Liang had already walked in with a happy face.

"What's going on?" The emperor asked impatiently.

Before asking Qin Tianjian to beg for rain, they pushed back and forth. Now Shangguan Erya's prayer for rain has not succeeded. It's coming to see the joke coming.

How dare you laugh so happily.

Lord Liang didn't care about the emperor's ugly face at all. knelt down and said, "Your Majesty. Three hundred miles from southern Xinjiang, a message was sent urgently to say that it had rained. Not only that, but the surrounding prefectures and prefectures with Kyoto as the center all rained when the emperor begged for rain. The emperor's prayer for rain was successful."

As soon as I heard this. The emperor couldn't help but be overjoyed. But the expressions of the others are more subtle.

Only Concubine Li only felt that something had drained all the strength from her body. It's like sucking the blood out of your body. Keep her limbs cold.

She subconsciously went to look at Shangguan Erya. It just so happened that the other party also looked up at him.

It's obviously a calm face. But in the eyes of Concubine Li, it became distorted. She saw a shallow smile on the corner of Shangguan Erya's mouth. But in the blink of an eye, it was gone.

No. She must not throw in the towel.

Concubine Li gritted her teeth and said, "But the emperor. It's not raining in Kyoto."
