Chapter 61: The Black Cauldron
It happened that the subordinate came up with Shao Yuyu's congratulatory gift, and he was also frightened by the situation on the field.
He fell to the ground with a thud, and the burden on his shoulders was immediately loosened, and the moment the congratulatory gift fell to the ground and was opened, a batch of toads jumped out of it, and the screams became louder.
"Emperor, Emperor!"
The queen's face turned pale, and before she could open her mouth to say anything, Concubine Rou on the other side had already screamed and fell into the emperor's arms.
The delicate body couldn't stop trembling, and it was sad and sad, so I looked pitiful.
The queen opened her mouth, but still didn't say anything, and sat down in her seat with pretending to be calm.
"Someone! Throw these two boxes out of the way! ”
Wei shouted, got the order, and soon a group of guards poured in, and stopped the chaos on the field in time.
And the congratulatory gifts carefully prepared by Cao Zhennan and Shao Yuyu were thrown out of the main hall in this way, and both of them looked a little unsightly.
"What the hell is going on, shouldn't Prime Minister Cao explain to me?"
Sitting on the main seat, the Rou Guifei in the emperor's arms was still shrinking, and the emperor held her in his arms with one hand, but his displeased eyes fell straight on the south side of Cao Zhen.
In fact, with the emperor's vicious eyes, how could he not see that this was being maliciously tricked.
But he just wants to pretend to be stupid to the end, and it is best to seize this opportunity to punish the Cao family.
Cold sweat slipped down his forehead, Cao Zhennan knew this in his heart, so he didn't dare to explain much when the emperor opened his mouth, he knelt on the ground with a plop, and opened his mouth to ask for guilt.
"Please ask the emperor for forgiveness, it is the negligence of the old minister, the old minister originally carefully prepared a congratulatory gift, but such cholera happened at this time, it is the fault of the old minister!"
The sincerity on her face didn't seem to be fake, and Lin Yue couldn't help but squint her eyes.
From the appearance of the toad to the later panic, Lin Yue was unmoved and sat quietly in her seat.
Now she wants to see how this Cao Zhennan plans to exonerate herself.
Although this trick was not serious, the emperor was already dissatisfied with the things that the Cao family had done secretly, and even such a small loophole was enough for him to use the topic to play.
Thinking like this, Lin Yue's gaze fell on Cao Wenxue's bloodless face, and the interest in her eyes couldn't help but add a little interest.
"Heh, carefully prepared? All I saw was a swarm of toads! ”
With a calm face, the emperor's merciless reprimand made Cao Zhennan's heart slightly startled, although he had long expected this encounter, but the emperor's ruthlessness still made his face ugly.
"And the eldest prince, what's the matter, do you think it's very intentional to send the toad, or do you deliberately want to be angry with me?"
With that, he slammed the wine glass on the table to the ground.
It is enough to prove how angry the emperor is in his heart.
The corners of her mouth hooked up with a touch of coldness, Lin Yue's eyes were gloomy, but she didn't say a word.
Shao Yuyu was not favored by the emperor in the first place, and now that such a thing has happened, I am afraid that it will be even more unpleasant in the emperor's new China.
His face was a little gloomy, and Shao Yuyu only had a belly of anger in his heart now, but he couldn't let it out.
He didn't know what was going on with this toad, and he didn't want to be trained in vain.
Just as he was thinking, the corner of his eye suddenly glanced at Cao Wenxue beside him, and his heart jumped.
"You did it?"
His hands clenched unconsciously, Shao Yuyu's words could be said to have been squeezed out from between his teeth, if he hadn't seen Cao Wenxue's face wrong just now, he wouldn't have suspected her.
This woman really has not succeeded enough, and she has more than she can lose!
Scolding in her heart, Cao Wenxue suddenly turned at herself as soon as she thought of this sword blade, her expression became flustered in an instant, and she couldn't answer.
"No...... No, it is. ”
Ignoring her pale defense, Shao Yuyu had already made up her mind in her heart.
Suddenly pushed Cao Wenxue to the ground, only to hear a delicate cry of pain, and everyone's eyes looked over.
Stretched out a hand and pointed directly at Cao Wenxue's door, Shao Yuyu's face was unprecedentedly cold, "Back to my father, all this is what this slut said, the son didn't know about it at first, and I hope that my father will punish him!" ”
As he spoke, he dragged her up from the ground again, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
"Oh?"
The emperor was slightly stunned, and then his gaze became a little deep.
The moment he saw this look, Cao Zhennan's heart was shocked.
Everything that happened now was something he didn't expect at all, whether this incident was done by Cao Wenxue or not, Shao Yuyu's merciless act of pushing her out to take the blame has deeply angered the bottom line of this father.
opened his mouth, and before he could speak out to argue for Cao Wenxue, he felt that his sleeve was pulled violently, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back like this.
"No, it's not a courtier, it's not, the emperor ......"
Regardless of the pain on her body, Cao Wenxue couldn't believe it now, and fell to the ground suddenly, praying to the emperor with a humble expression.
But the emperor was already in anger, and now that he saw that it was the daughter of the Cao family who was pushed out, he had no intention of listening to her explanation again.
"Cao Wenxue, the daughter of the Cao family, disrupted the banquet, corrupted the atmosphere, and dragged it out, thirty boards!"
With a hand, two guards strode in.
Cao Wenxue couldn't help but panic even more when she saw this scene, and she didn't wait for her to open her mouth to call for help.
A big rough hand had already blocked her mouth, and she couldn't make a sound.
"That's enough, if you obediently confess the crime, His Highness may be able to spare you, but if you are ......"
With a cold expression, while Shao Yuyu covered Cao Wenxue, he also whispered in her ear, and the threat in her words was not concealed at all.
The uncontrollable snatching out of her eyes made Cao Wenxue feel aggrieved, but she couldn't resist Shao Yuyu's ferocity at all, and the tears of pain rolled down one by one, and soon the tip of her tongue began to fill with a little bitterness.
"Aren't you ashamed enough, get out of here!"
Whispering, Cao Wenxue's tearful appearance of pear blossoms not only made him feel a trace of pity, but his face became even more gloomy.
Cao Wenxue was so frightened that her body trembled, and soon, her terrible screams came from outside, and many noblewomen in the house trembled, and the whole person became uncomfortable.
"Oh, a man who takes advantage of a woman is really not a good thing!"
Glancing at Shao Yuyu, who was secretly rejoicing below, with disgusted eyes, Shao Ningyan did not hide her disdain in her beautiful eyes.
Hearing her words, Lin Yue couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then quickly became a little interested, and asked, "Why did you not do this because of Cao Wenxue?" ”
Although she did this exactly, it was Cao Wenxue who did it at the beginning, so it would be a bit far-fetched to say that she had nothing to do with this matter.
Therefore, Lin Yuecai was a little surprised by Shao Ningyan's words.
"Hmph, this is my emperor's nephew after all, can I not understand his temperament?"
