Chapter 152: Turning Defeat into Victory
Her words, word by word, pointed directly at Gu Jiuge's charm of Mu Liang and the killing of Mama Song.
Concubine Zhen is also a smart person, knowing that Mu Yao loves Mu Liang and will never treat him badly, so she directly pointed the finger at Gu Jiuge. This time, as long as she bites it, Gu Jiuge will not be able to escape the involvement!
Mu Yao couldn't, looked at Gu Jiuge and said in a deep voice, "Miss Gu, what do you want to say?" ”
Gu Jiuge also knew that she couldn't avoid it today, she was about to step forward, but she felt a tightness in her hand, but it was Mu Liang who held her tightly. Seeing this scene, Gu Jiuge patted his hand and said in a low voice, "It's okay." ”
Hearing her say this, Mu Liang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and let go of his hand, but the worried look on his face continued unabated.
Gu Jiuge stepped forward, saluted, looked at Concubine Zhen, and said: "Today's matter, the prince is indeed a little impulsive, but Mama Song is rampant and domineering in the Prime Minister's Mansion under the name of Concubine Zhen, and the prince is doing this to maintain your reputation as Concubine Zhen." lest it spread out at this time, and people accuse your mother of being vicious. ”
Hearing this, Concubine Zhen was half angry, she naturally wouldn't believe this kind of reason to fool people!
"Domineering? Do you think that now Hengzhu is dead and has no proof, so you start talking nonsense! Concubine Zhen rushed forward and pointed at Gu Jiuge and scolded angrily. But before she could get close to Gu Jiuge's body, she saw Mu Liang striding forward, stopping Gu Jiuge from taking a step back, and stretching out her hand to block Concubine Zhen's way.
Seeing this, Concubine Zhen was even more angry.
"Your Majesty! You can all see that His Royal Highness King Liang loves Princess Liang so much, and he did not hesitate to do anything to his concubines for her, let alone an old grandmother! But Mama Song has been with her concubines for so many years, and she has always been gentle and charitable, how could she do such a domineering and bullying thing! ”
She cried hoarsely, and what she said seemed to be reasonable, if she didn't know, she would definitely think that Gu Jiuge had done something unreasonable.
"Concubine Zhen is angry, what Mama Song did in the Prime Minister's Mansion is obvious to all, I didn't talk nonsense." Gu Jiuge frowned and refuted.
"Obvious to all? I don't believe it! Concubine Zhen gritted her teeth angrily, turned to look at Gu Qinglai and asked, "Lai'er, you come!" What did Mama Song do in the Prime Minister's Mansion during this time! ”
Gu Qinglai glanced at everyone timidly when he heard this, and then came to the center with a sad face, looked left and right, and knelt down with a plop.
She coughed lightly and said softly: "Back to Your Majesty, the eldest sister said that Mama Song was a bully, and this courtier had never seen it." Today is my mother's birthday, the family sits together for a meal, Mama Song just said a few words about teaching the rules, who knew that the eldest sister was angry, and then King Liang and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess came. ”
As she spoke, she looked at the reactions of Gu Jiuge and Mu Liang with her spare eyes, looking extremely frightened.
"Don't be afraid, Lai'er! Tell me everything you know, what happened next! ”
Concubine Zhen stretched out her hand to help Gu Qinglai up, looked at her and said.
Gu Qinglai seemed to have some confidence, and continued: "Later, Mama Hua quarreled with Mama Song, and said that Concubine Zhen Niangniang is a concubine room at the top of the sky, and she can't be compared with the eldest sister's status as Princess Liang." Mama Song was eager to protect the lord and argued with her for a few words, who knows...... Who knew that the prince drew his sword and wiped Mama Song's neck. ”
The more she talked, the more frightened she became, and in the end, she held Concubine Zhen's arm and shrunk a little.
After listening to her testimony, Gu Jiuge was so annoyed that she almost laughed out loud, she had expected that Gu Qinglai would not let her go lightly, but she didn't expect that she would be able to make up such an outrageous thing. The words hide all the dirty things they do!
"Second Miss! How can you talk nonsense? Obviously, Mama Song deliberately embarrassed our young lady and asked her to serve you for dinner, how did it get into your mouth, but it seems that our young lady is doing something wrong! ”
Hua Chun gritted his teeth in annoyance, he just wanted to rehabilitate Gu Jiuge, he was anxious for a while, but he forgot what the occasion was now.
Gu Qinglai trembled even more when he heard this, and said sadly: "I'm just telling the truth......"
"A cheap maid, dare to be presumptuous in the imperial study? There's no room for you to speak here! Come on, drag the palace out and beat it to death! Concubine Zhen was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, just as the painting spring was about to come up.
When Gu Jiuge heard this, he protected her behind him, and his eyes turned cold again.
"Second sister, you are lying in front of Your Majesty, this is a crime of bullying the king." Gu Jiuge said in a cold voice, walked slowly in front of her, directly ignored Concubine Zhen, and pulled her out.
"Gu Jiuge! What are you doing? Seeing this, Concubine Zhen hurriedly reached out to grab it, but when Gu Jiuge looked back, she was so frightened that she stopped the movement of her hand. By the time she came to her senses, Gu Jiuge had already pulled Gu Qinglai forward a few steps.
Concubine Zhen was shocked in her heart, what kind of person was Gu Jiuge, and she would be frightened by one of her eyes?
Just when everyone was waiting for Gu Jiuge to follow, they saw that she suddenly lifted Gu Qinglai's skirt, revealing the scars on her knees.
"Ahh Gu Qinglai was caught off guard by her movements, screamed loudly, and before she could make a move, she saw Gu Jiuge grasp her wrist and lift her sleeves, the burns on her arms were not yet healed, which was a little shocking.
Everyone stared at the wounds on Gu Qinglai's body, a little unclear.
"Second sister, tell Your Majesty how the injuries on your body came from." Gu Jiuge said in a deep voice, still maintaining the action of restraining her.
Gu Qinglai struggled to no avail, and immediately changed his face, and said with a burst of tears: "Your Majesty, these scars are all due to the eldest sister!" ”
Hearing her say this, Mu Yao only felt that the headache was unbearable, and things seemed to be getting more and more complicated.
"Yes! Your Majesty, these injuries were all caused by Gu Jiuge! The burn on this arm was directly splashed by her holding a bowl of ginseng soup that had just come out of the pot. The one on the knee was left by kneeling all morning in her courtyard. Princess Liang kept saying that Mama Song was domineering, but in fact, she was the one who bullied others! ”
Old Mrs. Jiang is also idle, seeing such a good opportunity, of course she can't let Gu Jiuge escape lightly.
Gu Jiuge sneered when he heard this, raised his hand to push Gu Qinglai away, waved his sleeves, and stood upright.
"Your Majesty, what Mrs. Jiang said is true, the injuries on the second sister's body are indeed because of me." Gu Jiuge raised her voice and said, her attitude was so frank, but she taught Concubine Zhen and others to be puzzled.
Before Concubine Zhen could make a move, Gu Jiuge had already taken the lead in opening her mouth.
"The reason why the courtiers punished her for kneeling was because on that day, Mama Song forced the courtiers to kneel three times and bow nine times to her second sister, and the courtiers had to punish them for such transgressions." Gu Jiuge's voice became clearer and clearer, and he taught people to hear it clearly.
Gu Qinglai was so flustered when he heard this, he even forgot to refute it.
Mu Yao also frowned, and his face was pale.
Since ancient times, only kings can enjoy three kneeling and nine bowing gifts, what identity does she care about Chiang Rai, and she can't rebel?
"As for the burns, it was because Mrs. Jiang went to the house that day, and my grandmother held a banquet to entertain them, and during the banquet, Mama Song ordered me to serve them dinner. This was a trivial matter, the second sister ordered me to serve the soup, but when I brought it over, she wanted to stretch out her feet and trip me, who knew that stealing the chicken would not work, my feet were crooked, and the ginseng soup in my hand was splashed on her. ”
Gu Jiuge said lightly, and everyone listened with different expressions.
"And today, Mama Song ordered me to serve Aunt Jiang and others for dinner. The second sister repeated the old trick and asked me to stand aside with the soup. Who knew that today's unfortunate situation was that the prince and the eldest princess suddenly came to the door. Seeing that I was humiliated, the prince was angry, and this is what happened later. ”
Compared with what Gu Qinglai said, Gu Jiuge's words were much more comprehensive.
After hearing this, Mu Yao also had a calculation in his heart, looked at the people in the Jiang Mansion and asked in a deep voice, "Is what Miss Gu said true?" Tell us the truth, or you will be guilty of deceit!" ”
When everyone heard this, their faces turned pale with fright, and their legs fell to their knees, and they no longer had the arrogant and arrogant attitude.
Seeing them like this, it can basically be verified that what Gu Jiuge said is true.
Concubine Zhen was still unwilling, wiped her tears, and said in a lamented voice: "Your Majesty, even if Mama Song has gone a little too far, her original intention is good." It's really unfair to lose your life like this. ”
Mu Yao was furious when he heard this, and suddenly slapped the case, saying, "An old slave, bullying the master. Who gave her the courage to go to the princess of Liang! And today's people, concealing the truth and deliberately framing them, don't you all want to live? ”
Long Yan was furious, and everyone in the room knelt down in unison.
As soon as Gu Jiuge bent his knees, he was picked up by Mu Liang and took her into his arms in a posture of maintenance.
Looking at the man with a cold face in front of him steadily, Gu Jiuge's heart moved slightly, and his eyes were faintly hot.
"Your Majesty is angry, it's all the courtier's fault, we don't know that Mama Song dared to embarrass the eldest lady behind Concubine Zhen's back, the so-called ignorant is not guilty, and please spare your majesty!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Shi walked all the way to the front, knocked his head a few times, and then cried and begged for mercy.
I have to say that Jiang Shi is a brain, so quickly thought of a way to get out, and pushed everything on Mama Song, who had died tragically, and picked them all out.
There is no proof of horizontal and vertical death.
"Brother Huang, this matter will be handed over to Brother Huang. But if such a thing happens again in the future, it will not be as simple as a minion killed by this king. ”
Mu Liang said and glanced at Jiang and Gu Qinglai coldly, his eyes were full of murderous intent, this sentence was both a warning and a threat.
Jiang Shi and the others trembled when they heard this, and hurriedly lowered their heads.
After saluting again, Mu Liang took Gu Jiuge and left. He just wanted to protect Jiu Ge from being safe, and he didn't want her to be involved in such an intrigue anymore.
"Gu Aiqing, maybe you should take care of your family affairs."
Mu Yao sighed, this matter can be big or small, it is more of a family matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he can't directly order the Jiang family and others to be cut down, so he can only hand over this matter to Gu Shuyuan to deal with it himself.
"Your Majesty rest assured, the old minister will definitely deal with it properly. Nothing like this will ever happen again! ”
