The emperor leaned back on the couch, twisted his eyebrows, and asked in a perfunctory and emotionless voice: "Tell Shang Shu about something first." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said it at this time, saying that his daughter Xiang Xingyue went out of the city to play for a while today, and as soon as she returned to the house, she was arrested by someone sent by the Gu Mansion, and the Gu Mansion bullied people, not to say that Xiang Xingyue kidnapped and kidnapped their Gu family's future daughter-in-law Ruan Huai from the academy, and also lynched Ruan Huai. Old Marquis Gu somehow decided that it was Xiang Xingyue's hand, and took Xiang Xingyue away without saying a word.

The emperor listened to the words of the Ministry of Rites with great difficulty, nodded and asked Gu Yufeng instead: "Ruan Huai, your fiancée?" As for Xiang Xingyue, it seems that she said in front of the Queen Mother before, is she interested in you? ”

Gu Yufeng was stunned and replied, "...... Be. ”

Gu Yufeng didn't react a little, obviously he didn't expect things to suddenly evolve like this.

The emperor looked at Gu Yufeng coldly, and ordered Gonggong Jiang: "Tell Old Fellow Gu to bring those two girls over." ”

A few quarters of an hour later, Gu Hou helped the scarred Ruan Huai and Xiang Xingyue, who followed behind, into the main hall.

Gu Yutang turned his head and saw Ruan Huai who was supported by his father, she was almost draped in her hair, revealing half of her cold white face, there were a few red and dazzling blood marks on her eyebrows and eyes, and the corners of her lips were slightly swollen with bruises, and it was very difficult to open her lips.

Her two small hands were clasped under the sleeves of her moon-white student uniform, trembling violently, obviously being injured with a torture instrument, and the fingertip joints were shocked.

Gu Yutang stared at Ruan Huai, and watched her enter the hall for a moment, and when she saluted the emperor, Ruan Huai's voice did not sound as lazy and soft as lying on his couch to sleep before, but hoarse and not angry.

"Get up." When the emperor saw that a good girl was tossed like this, he probably couldn't bear it, so he let people get up.

"Ruan Huai, you identified Xiang Xingyue as kidnapping you and lynching you, right?" The emperor bluntly interrogated Ruan Huai.

Ruan Huai lowered his eyes and replied, "Yes." ”

"Do you have any proof?" The Emperor then asked.

"One, Miss Xiang came to the academy to look for me in anger yesterday, and many students in the academy have bumped into this matter, and His Majesty can send someone to investigate; Second, early this morning, someone came to the class to ask me to go out, and my classmate Ning Xinxin could testify for me, and after I went out, the man said that his young lady wanted to talk to me a few words, so he took me into a carriage and left the college, and then ...... I was covered ......" Ruan Huai said this, his eyes slowly turned very red, he eased his breath, and said softly, "You can also ask the guards outside the academy for confirmation of this matter." ”

Gu Yufeng twisted his eyebrows and listened to Ruan Huai, he was not very happy that Ruan Huai had a branch at this juncture, and he also came to His Majesty, but after hearing that Ruan Huai's words were reasonable, he had to push the boat down and kneel down, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, Huai'er is really innocent in this matter, and please ask Your Majesty to learn from it." ”

It's just that without waiting for the emperor to speak, Xiang Xingyue, who had been silent, suddenly pointed at Ruan Huai and said loudly: "She lied!" I haven't been to Linhe Academy from beginning to end today! ”

"Oh? Xiang Xingyue, do you also have evidence to prove that you haven't been to Linhe Academy today? The emperor took the teacup handed over by Gonggong Jiang and took a slow sip of tea.

"I'm ......" Xiang Xingyue rolled his eyes in a panic, suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look in the direction of Gu Yutang, and his heart suddenly settled: "Yes, Gu Xiaohou is my witness." ”
