Chapter 63: Heavy punishment of Xuan Jing
Mu Liang's gaze fell on Gu Jiuge, and his brows furrowed slightly after seeing the two eye-catching wounds on her arms.
Raising his finger and pointing at Huiqiu, who was standing beside Gu Jiuge, Mu Liang opened his mouth and said coldly, "You say." ”
Suddenly pointed out by Mu Liang, Huiqiu was stunned for a moment, but she immediately reacted that Mu Liang was giving Gu Jiuge a chance to explain. Xuan Jing is a princess, and now that Mu Yao is present again, there are some things that Gu Jiuge can't say, and Huachun is very impulsive, if she is asked to say it, it will definitely be because of impulsiveness, so Mu Liang will call her out to explain the reason.
Thinking about Mu Liang's intentions, Huiqiu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down.
"Back to Your Majesty, just now our young lady is waiting here, I don't know what the second young lady said to the ninth princess, the princess suddenly became angry and threw a whip at our young lady." Huiqiu said concisely, but she deliberately brought Gu Qinglai in and bullied her master, and none of them could get out of it!
After listening to Huiqiu's words, Xuan Jing was even more annoyed in her heart, and she only hated that Fang Cai hadn't torn the mouths of these two girls, lest they sue!
"Jing'er, but so?" Mu Yao turned his head to look at Xuan Jing and asked in a low voice, his own daughter knows best, not to mention that Huiqiu, a little slave, would not dare to frame the princess at will, after all, there are so many pairs of eyes looking at it.
Xuan Jing pursed her lips, took Mu Yao's hand and said coquettishly: "Father, I really don't blame my sons. Originally, Gu Jiuge seriously injured my second cousin first, but Erchen really couldn't stand it anymore, so he taught her a lesson. Who knew that she was so fragile, but she was only whipped twice, so she ran to her father and pretended to be pitiful. ”
Xuan Jing said that she didn't forget to glance at Gu Jiuge, no matter what mistakes she made in the past, as long as she pulled Mu Yao to be a coquette, she could get over. Gu Jiuge wanted to sue, but he was really wrong!
Thinking of this, Xuan Jing's face became more and more proud.
"Your Majesty, I think it's just a little trouble for my daughter to get married, let's set off quickly, don't delay the trip." Seeing this, Concubine Zhen also stepped forward and pulled Mu Yao and said softly, her mother and daughter were sandwiched from both sides, and they did their best to attack gently.
The corners of Gu Jiuge's mouth were slightly hooked after hearing this, she was injured like this, but when she came to Concubine Zhen, it became a small fight, it was really ridiculous!
When Mu Yao saw Xuan Jing like this, his heart was about to melt, and he was willing to scold her, so he looked at her helplessly.
"Okay, Gu Aiqing, today's incident is indeed something wrong with Jing'er, I apologize to Aiqing on behalf of Jing'er, and ask Aiqing not to take it to heart." Mu Yao stretched out his hand to help Gu Shuyuan up, looked at him and said with a smile, there was a feeling of peace and quiet.
Gu Shuyuan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, Mu Yao had already said this, if he still insisted on biting it, wouldn't it make Mu Yao unable to come to the stage in front of so many people. But if this matter is turned over here, then how should Gu Jiuge's injury today be counted!
After thinking about it, he was in a dilemma, and he glanced at Gu Jiuge very distressedly.
"Your Majesty laughed." Gu Shuyuan tugged at the corners of his stiff mouth and said coldly.
Seeing this, Concubine Zhen and the others showed a smug look on their faces, and said softly: "Your Majesty, let's go, all the officials are still waiting." "She has a delicate voice, even if she has a mysterious mind, she is already charming and shy, so she is not lovable.
Mu Yao nodded, turned around and walked towards the sedan chair, but after taking two steps, he found that Mu Liang was still standing in place, folding the fan and shaking gently, without the slightest intention of moving.
Mu Yao turned his head to look at him and said, "Ah Liang, why don't you leave?" ”
Hearing the sound, the folding fan in Mu Liang's hand was suddenly retracted and slapped heavily on his hand.
"This matter is not over, where are we going?"
He said coldly, looking at this posture, he actually wanted to support Gu Jiuge!
"Uncle Huang, what do you mean by this? Father and Emperor have already apologized, what else does she Gu Jiuge want? Don't you still want this princess to kneel for her? Xuan Jing also has a temper that explodes at a moment, and at this time, she is even more confident with Mu Yao's support.
Concubine Zhen hurriedly grabbed her, if she really got into trouble with Mu Liang, the matter would not be so easy to solve.
"Lord Wang, since Gu Xiang and Miss Gu are not being held accountable, why do you still hold on to it, for the sake of the daughter of a courtier, you don't hesitate to delay everyone's time, is this really good?" Concubine Zhen turned her head to look at Mu Liang and said with a chuckle, but between her words, she was telling him to pay attention to his reputation, standing up for Gu Jiuge in front of so many people, the people all saw it, who knew what rumors would come out.
Gu Jiuge was also a little stunned, she never expected that Mu Liang would help her out. After all, Mu Liang still doubted his intention to approach him, and he was wary of himself.
"Xuan Jing is a royal princess after all, and now she is arrogant and domineering, and the people see it in their eyes, if she is not severely punished today, won't it make the public see my royal jokes and say that my royal family is bullying?" Mu Liang said lightly, there was no room for change.
What he said is really high-sounding, punishing Xuan Jing for the honor of the royal family, but it will not make people doubt and think about it!
"Uncle Huang! Do you care about the reputation of the royal family, or do you want to help Gu Jiuge? You help her again and again, but don't forget, I am your niece and nephew! ”
Xuan Jing was annoyed, looked at Mu Liang and shouted. She didn't understand, where did Gu Jiuge get into Mu Liang's eyes, so that Mu Liang could protect him everywhere!
"Because of this, this king must not let the royal family fall into the mouth. You don't have to go to today's hunt, kneel at the gate of the palace, just as an apology. "Mu Liang is not Mu Yao, so easy to be persuaded by her.
After listening to Mu Liang's words, all the people present were shocked. For the sake of a Gu Jiuge, he actually knelt at the gate of the palace in Xuan Jing? This kind of punishment is far heavier than the two whip marks on Gu Jiuge's body.
Xuan Jing was so angry that she stomped her feet, but she didn't dare to have sex with Mu Liang anymore, although Mu Liang was only a few years older than them, but for this cold-faced imperial uncle, they juniors have always dared not provoke, and now that Mu Liang has opened her mouth, she must be unable to escape.
Thinking of this, she hated Gu Jiuge even more.
"Your Majesty! Jing'er is a princess! What a noble status, how can he kneel at the gate of the palace? When Concubine Zhen heard this, her heart was full of anger, but her face was full of sorrow, and she hugged Mu Yao's hand and cried.
After saying that, she suddenly turned around, stared at Mu Liang with her eyes, and said, "I don't know what the prince thinks!" is willing to help an outsider, and doesn't care about his own niece and daughter! ”
"Brother Huang, Jing'er is a princess, if she is not severely punished, it will be difficult to explain to the people. The younger brother did this completely for the sake of the royal family, and Concubine Zhen had no way to teach her daughter, so she didn't have to go hunting today, so she thought about herself in the palace. ”
Mu Liang ignored the words of her mother and daughter, her eyes fell directly on Mu Yao, looked at him and said lightly.
Concubine Zhen was stunned when she heard this, she accompanied Mu Yao for a long time before she replaced the queen, and now because of Mu Liang's three or two sentences, it was in vain, how could she not be angry.
Mu Yao was also a little embarrassed when he heard this, on the one hand, his beloved younger brother, and on the other hand, his daughter, he didn't know how to make a decision for a while.
"Since the royal brother didn't want to, he just didn't say it. The courtier's brother was unwell today, so he didn't go with him. Seeing that Mu Yao was slow to make a decision, Mu Liang opened his mouth and said coldly.
Everyone gasped when they heard this, this naked threat, I am afraid that only Mu Liang dares to say it.
Gu Jiuge's hands folded and folded around her waist slowly tightened, in her past and present lives combined, no one had ever protected her like this. I was choked in my heart, I couldn't go up or down, and it was uncomfortable and tight.
"Ah Liang, this matter is indeed Jing'er's fault first, but kneeling at the gate of the palace is really a bit too much, let her go back to her palace and kneel and think about it." Seeing Mu Liang's face darkened, Mu Yao immediately realized that he was serious, and let out a deep breath, and said helplessly.
Xuan Jing was stunned when she heard this, where did she think that it would still be difficult to escape!
"Concubine Zhen, you just stay with Jing'er, and don't let her mess around anymore!" Mu Yao turned his head to look at Concubine Zhen, who was almost crying, and said coldly, and before the mother and daughter could cry, they strode into the sedan chair.
Xuan Jing's mother and daughter were so angry that they almost fainted, but they could only watch Mu Yao's sedan chair go farther and farther.
"There is a doctor in the palace with you, go get the medicine." Mu Liang looked at Huiqiu, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice, and then turned around and got into his sedan chair.
Hearing this, Huiqiu kowtowed again and again to thank him.
On the carriage, the two girls carefully treated Gu Jiuge's wounds. Xuan Jing's two whips were killed, but fortunately, Gu Jiuge dodged them neatly, otherwise he didn't know what the injury would be.
"Miss, when did you have a friendship with the prince?" While gently wiping her wounds, Hua Chun looked up at Gu Jiuge and asked with a chuckle. There were only three of her master and servant in the carriage, so she didn't have to pay attention to anything.
Gu Jiuge frowned when he heard this, Mu Liang could be regarded as defending her in front of the whole city today, and even did not hesitate to contradict Mu Yao, this kind of treatment may be an honor and preferential treatment in the eyes of outsiders, but it may not be a good thing for Gu Jiuge.
After she was reborn, she wanted to ally with Mu Liang, it was precisely because she took a fancy to Mu Liang's status and means that Mu Yao loved this younger brother more than all his own emperors, if she could win over Mu Liang, it would be easy to overthrow Xuan Lang and avenge herself.
But Gu Jiuge's mind was only on the alliance, and he didn't want to have too much to do with him. Now that Mu Liang has saved her from fire and water several times, she owes a debt of affection, and I am afraid that she will not be able to pay it off.
Thinking of this, Gu Jiu rubbed his temples with a little headache.
How did things turn out like this?
"Miss, the prince has never protected a person like this before." Eaki also buried his head and said.
Since the last time Mu Liang visited the palace at night to rescue Gu Jiuge from the secret room, and arranged for Mrs. Zhao to send Gu Jiuge back to avoid her reputation being damaged, Huiqiu was extremely grateful to Mu Liang, and now seeing him defend Gu Jiuge like this, his heart was even more moved. It's not that she thinks about anything, if Gu Jiuge can find a lover like Mu Liang in the future, his life will be safe.
"Don't talk nonsense, let people listen to it, your young lady's face is still gone!" Gu Jiu singer bent his fingers, flicked her forehead, and said helplessly.
