Chapter 65: Disrespect for the Will
Usually the emperor only sends people to give gifts before the wedding, but this time the emperor did come in person, and he came so punctually I don't know why, Concubine Xiaoxian's eyelids jumped suddenly, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
King Yu inside had already dressed and come out, and in front of him, the emperor had already passed through the corridor, and was walking towards this side with a sullen face.
Concubine Xiaoxian turned around and gave a look to the girl next to her, and the girl quickly retreated. In the blink of an eye, the emperor had already arrived.
"Say hello to the emperor, I don't know that the emperor is coming, and I will miss the welcome." Everyone in the hall saluted one by one.
The county lord of Lingyang slammed the big red head on the ground and said, "Please let the emperor call the shots, His Royal Highness King Yu actually did such a filthy thing on this wedding day, this is an insult to me." As for the matter of giving marriage, I asked the emperor to take back his fate, and my Northern Qi is not so easy to bully. ”
"Brother Huang, brother ,,,,," King Yu has nothing to explain, after all, the facts are in front of him.
Princess Chu Ren hurriedly came out of the guest room, her clothes still neat. It's just that the hair is messy, the face is flushed, and the shyness and contentment are there. At first glance, it looks like he has just been loved by a man. Kneeling at King Yu's side, he raised his head and looked at Qi Xiuhao fixedly: "Emperor Qiqi, this princess and His Royal Highness King Yu are willing to love me, and Lang is a concubine." Please also ask the emperor to fulfill it. ”
Qi Xiuhao didn't give face, and raised his foot to kick Qi Xiuyu, who was half-kneeling in front of him, to the ground. Pointing at Qi Xiuyu and said, "King Yu, do you take a good look at the good things you have done?" Why don't you even respect the holy decree? Do you know what the sin of disrespect is? ”
Qi Xiuyu was kicked to the ground, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. His face was blue and purple, and he was very embarrassed.
Concubine Xiaoxian stood in front of King Yu and felt distressed to help Qi Xiuyu up, and said, "This matter has not yet been clarified, or it is unknown if someone can frame him." He also asked the emperor for permission to find out the truth before making a decision. Although Yu'er is young and ignorant, she never dares to resist and disrespect. Please also ask the emperor to take care of brotherhood. ”
"Don't dare? Concubine take a good look, what is there to dare to King Yu? If you dare to resist the will today, he will plot a rebellion in the future? Even my own brothers dare to resist the decree and disrespect, how can I govern the people of the world? There was a trace of ruthlessness on the emperor's face, looking at Qi Xiuyu who was embarrassed.
Shen Qingfeng saw it very clearly, and Qi Xiuhao was murderous to Qi Xiuyu. It's hard to say who prepared today's scene, although King Yu wants to marry Princess Churen, but there is no foolproof way to resist the decree and disrespect.
"Please forgive the emperor, there must be a hidden secret in this matter. Even if it is going to be released, it will have to wait for the truth to be found. The emperor "saw the indifference and ruthlessness between the emperor's eyebrows, and Concubine Xiaoxian was also a little panicked.
"The concubine should know what the consequences of disrespecting the decree are? Come on, bring King Yu down. ”
As soon as Qi Xiuhao's words fell, two guards stepped forward to prepare to set up King Yu.
"Wait!" On the other side of the corridor, several figures suddenly appeared, and several middle-aged men in satin brocade robes came in one after another. All of them are noble and extraordinary.
Shen Qingfeng guessed that the person who dared to dismiss the emperor's words should also be a member of the royal family, looking at Concubine Xiaoxian's suddenly relaxed expression. Shen Qingfeng suddenly realized, it turned out that he had just sent someone to invite these people.
Qin Huai also came in after him, standing beside Shen Qingfeng. Shen Qingfeng knew that he had never been nosy, and he should be even more scornful of this kind of thing.
asked, "Why is the prince here?" ”
"I don't see you in the front hall, the lord of Linlang said that you are here, and this king will come and take a look." As he spoke, he naturally put a hand on Shen Qingfeng's waist, hugged her to his side, and then took a few steps back. Look at a farce in front of you.
The emperor looked at several highly respected royal relatives, his face was a little dark, and he swept away Concubine Xiaoxian and King Yu gloomily. Only then did he turn around and say: "Uncle Five Emperors, King Deqin, Prince Yue." Why did you drive a few uncles here? ”
Prince Yue said with a smile: "It's not that I heard that someone framed His Royal Highness King Yu, I'll wait to come and see." The emperor is young, why should he be so impatient, and it is not too late to find out the truth. ”
"It's true that King Yu resisted the decree and disrespected, and it is difficult that someone will force him with a knife. Prince Yue is also just here, how do you know that he was framed? Qi Xiuhao's gaze was gloomy, staring at Prince Yue like ice.
But these people are all people who have participated in two battles for the throne, and now the emperor is fledgling, so they don't have any pressure in front of the emperor.
The Fifth Emperor Uncle also said on the side: "Although King Yu is young, we also grew up. We know the character best, so I also ask the emperor to find out the truth first. ”
Qi Xiuhao also understood at this time that he couldn't move King Yu today. But we must also teach a lesson in resisting the disrespect of the will, otherwise where is the royal majesty?
Quickly reined in his emotions, Qi Xiuhao smiled faintly and said, "It was I who was angry for a while, but fortunately, Uncle Huang came in time." King Yu is my own brother, and it is inevitable that the requirements for him will be higher. Since this is the case, it is better to ask Prince De to find out the truth of this matter, find out who deliberately framed it, and make a decision. ”
Princess Yu said tepidly at this time: "I just saw Princess Qin and the prince behind the rockery, and the injury on the prince's face came from nowhere, isn't these two things related to Princess Qin?" ”
Shen Qingfeng knew that there was nothing good for Shen Zhizhen to keep her, but she didn't know what happened behind the rockery, and Shen Zhizhen actually knew everything.
Princess Chu Ren ignored her messy hair, and when she went up, she was about to pull Shen Qingfeng, and scolded in her mouth: "You hurt me again, what kind of hatred do you have with me Nanqiang, and you want to harm me like this." ”
Qin Huai pulled Shen Qingfeng behind him, and looked at Princess Chu Ren with a bit of fierceness in his eyes. "I already said it last time, this is not you Nanqiang. Bring out the evidence before you speak. ”
Princess Chu Ren immediately came down, standing beside King Yu, Chu Chu looked at Qi Xiuyu pitifully, but now Qi Xiuyu is also unable to protect himself.
Without being maintained by the beloved man, the light in Princess Chu Ren's eyes slowly dimmed.
Looking at everyone's skeptical eyes, Shen Qingfeng said very calmly: "I went to Yuwang's Mansion with the prince at one o'clock in the afternoon, saw my father at three o'clock in the afternoon, and returned to the hall at four o'clock, how can I bring Princess Churen here?" Where did he wound His Royal Highness King Yu? ”
It is obvious that Princess Qin is a woman, and she has no power to restrain her. It is impossible to injure King Yu, a powerful man, and it is impossible to bring Princess Chu Ren here unknowingly.
King Yu raised his head and glanced at Shen Qingfeng, his eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness. The hanging hand clenched into a fist, and the green tendons burst out.
Shen Qingfeng gambled that Qi Xiuyu was such a good-looking person, and it was impossible to admit that the injury on his face was beaten by a woman.
"The person who hit me was covered with his face covered, and he was a man." Yuwang held back a few words for a long time.
A girl came out of the guest room, holding a piece of enchanted incense in her hand, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, this is found on the windowsill of the guest room, it is enchanted incense." I think someone deliberately framed King Yu. Please also ask the emperor to take a clear look. ”
That girl, Shen Qingfeng recognized. It was just the one who served Concubine Xiaoxian closely. It seems that Concubine Xiaoxian is not a vegetarian, but I don't know that King Yu, who is taught, is average.
Concubine Xiaoxian glared angrily and said, "Who is responsible for cleaning this guest room, how can this thing appear." Check it out for me. Today, we must find out. ”
Qi Xiuhao looked at it coldly, and a hint of mockery appeared on his lips.
Then the housekeeper took the book of Yuwang's Mansion and came in with a woman in charge. There are three little girls behind. knelt on the ground and said: "Greetings to the emperor, this courtyard is in charge of four girls, these are three of them, and one is dead." ”
"Dead?" Qi Xiuhao looked at Concubine Xiaoxian.
Concubine Xiaoxian's face turned a little pale, but she was no longer panicked. Said: "Why did you die?" Then send someone to her residence to check if it is her? ”
"I'm afraid it was discovered by the little guy who committed suicide in fear of sin, threw himself into the well, and just fetched water. The minions have already checked their residences. There was a silver ticket of five hundred taels, and two gold bracelets, and a jade bracelet. are all worth a lot of money, and the slave guesses that he was greedy for money and bribed by others for a while, so he framed the prince, and now that the matter is reported, he commits suicide in fear of crime. The butler knelt on the ground and slowly analyzed.
"So this dead little girl did it alone? The Yuwang Mansion is full of talents, and I see that the position of Lord Yin Liu of the Jingzhao Mansion can be qualified for the housekeeper of the Yuwang Mansion. Qi Xiuhao half-hooked the corners of his mouth. He glanced coldly at the housekeeper on the ground, as well as the silver ticket jewelry in his hand.
The butler's originally calm figure swayed a little, and the tip of his forehead began to sweat.
Concubine Xiaoxian smiled and said: "The emperor is joking, but it is just a subordinate who guesses randomly with his own experience, and it is not up to the emperor to decide how this case is decided." ”
"I think this housekeeper's analysis is reasonable, I don't know what the emperor thinks?" Prince Yue spoke.
Qi Xiuhao's eyes glanced at a corpse covered by a big white silk at the door, knowing that today's matter was over. "Since Prince Yue already has the answer, why bother asking me. Although this matter was deliberately framed, it is also a fact that King Yu resisted the decree and was disrespectful. King Yu thought about it behind closed doors for three months and was fined for half a year. As for that little girl, she framed the royal family and punished the nine clans. ”
When Prince Yue heard this, he frowned and wanted to speak. was interrupted again by the emperor. "This time, the lord of Lingyang did not marry King Yu, and on the twentieth of the next month, he promised to marry Mu Shaoyang of the Prince's Mansion. ”
Then Qi Xiuhao, who had a bad face, left Yuwang's Mansion with a group of guards and returned to the palace.
"Now that the matter is over, this king will also take the first step, and Concubine Xiaoxian will stay." Qin Huai took Shen Qingfeng's hand and walked through the corridor together.
By the time they arrived in the foyer, the guests could already see that something was wrong. One of them left, only Lord Linlang sat on a four-legged flower bench and waited, and a burly man stood next to him. The two of them were silent and looked at the scenery in the distance.
