The honor guard returned to King Jing's Mansion in a majestic manner, and An Ning carefully got off the sedan chair with the support of Xi Po. At the gate of the palace, there was a blazing brazier, and An Ning was a little scared, but he stepped over as if he was dead. King Jing returned to the worship hall first, and An Ning was led by Xi Po.

Step by step, she approached the chapel, the man she had been looking forward to, but An Ning did not have the joy she had imagined. The man she was looking forward to was waiting for her to come over in a wedding dress, but there was no smile on his face that he saw in An Ning's dream.

An Ning stepped on the specially built worship platform outside, everyone clapped their hands congratulatorily, and the emperor and queen stood in the hall, smiling and looking at her and Su Jingye.

"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived." Gonggong Su glanced at the water leak used for timing next to him, walked to the emperor's side and whispered.

The emperor nodded, and Gonggong Su raised the dust: "The auspicious time is coming, play joy." ”

There was a circle of musicians outside, and music was playing at the same time. The sound of silk and bamboo is melodious and cheerful, and it sounds very pleasant. According to the rules, after the joy has been played, it is necessary to offer incense to worship the heavens before the worship ceremony can be carried out.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the prince sent people to search around the palace, but he still didn't see Jiang Liuyu's figure, and he was puzzled. The queen stood on the stage and saw the prince enter through the outer circle. was looking at it suspiciously, only to see the prince shake his head gently, and the queen's heart suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, at this banquet, I don't know if someone found a commoner girl and brought over the post of the county lord of Anning."

Riding on the sound of music, the empress walked up to the emperor and approached to inquire. The emperor tilted his head: "What, when did An Ning meet the girl of the people." ”

"The emperor doesn't know," the queen laughed lightly, "Your son King Jing, the Xinyi woman mentioned before, is this girl." is also an ann in the tolerant person, and deliberately left a post for this whimsical girl, but I don't know if she came today. ”

"Civilian women, some of them want to fly on the branches to be phoenixes, and Jingye is too easy to be deceived." The Emperor shook his head in hatred.

"King Jing is too simple, he has little experience, he was deceived by this kind of scheming woman, and it is indeed easy to take it seriously, Your Majesty doesn't have to care, just teach him more." The queen comforted softly, and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, have you heard that this girl is here today, let's find an opportunity to reprimand this woman well." ”

"Since An Ning left a post, the people at the door will not let her in." The Emperor snorted, "But it's best not to let Jing Ye see her again, so as not to ruin today's happy day." The queen can send people to search the mansion more, find this woman, and take good care of her. ”

Jiang Liuyu didn't come, and the queen only thought that she was scared, so she didn't care. But the emperor didn't know about Jiang Liuyu, which made the queen feel extremely strange, but when she heard that the emperor allowed her to search in King Jing's mansion, this made her and the prince's plan today more smoothly implemented.

The queen hurriedly replied: "Yes, the concubine is called the prince, and she will be carefully checked among today's guests." ”

The Emperor nodded, and the Empress happily stepped off the stage and whispered a few words to the Crown Prince. As soon as the explanation was finished, the joy stopped, and the queen hurriedly walked up to the stage.

Gonggong Su straightened up at the tribute table, raised his chin, and shouted: "Please ask the emperor and queen mother to worship the heavens and worship the gods." ”

A little eunuch came up and handed the incense to the emperor and queen, and the two of them stepped forward, lit the candle, bowed down three times, and then inserted the incense in the incense burner.

Su Jingye and An Ning were holding the end of the red silk and stood on the stage in a daze. Hong Aya trembled for a while, and Su Jingye looked at it, only to see An Ning holding Hong Aya's hand, which had been pinched so tightly that it turned white, looking very nervous.

"May the gods bless this couple for a hundred years." Gonggong Su read the words, and the emperor and empress also turned around and sat on the two main seats next to the offering table.

"When the auspicious time comes, the newlyweds will pay their respects. Worship heaven and earth! ”

"Wait a minute!" Father-in-law Su shouted, and An Ning lifted the hijab by himself. When everyone saw An Ning's face, they couldn't help but praise her for being such a beauty.

The red silk was released, and the two ends held by An Ning and Su Jingye fell to the ground at the same time. The queen was shocked by this situation, and looked at the prince in the audience, who was also confused.

The Emperor stood up, put his hands behind his back and looked at the two of them, and for a moment, he didn't know who to ask first.

"Your Majesty, An Ning has something to report." An Ning dropped the hijab and fell to his knees with a thud.

The emperor vaguely felt a little headache, and said helplessly: "Anning, you get up first, if there is anything, you can talk about it after visiting the hall." ”

"The stakes are high, and An Ning doesn't dare to waste time." An Ning lowered his eyes and kowtowed heavily on the ground, "I beg Your Majesty's permission, An Ning is not worthy of marrying King Jing as his wife." ”

"Haven't you been in love with Jing Ye for a long time, why did you suddenly say that you won't marry." The emperor leaned over and asked, but An Ning never replied, "That's it, you get up first and tell me what you see happening." ”

An Ning raised her head, glanced at the empress, and then took out a small porcelain vase from her cuff. The queen looked familiar at first glance, and then An Ning opened the porcelain vase and poured it a little to the ground. There was a soft carpet on the table, and as soon as the liquid fell down, many bubbles suddenly bubbled up on the carpet, and it was obvious that it corroded into a hole that looked like it had been burned.

"An Ning, you dare to bring poison." The emperor looked at her in disbelief, and Gonggong Su hurriedly shouted: "Come on, quickly press down the county lord of Anning." ”

"Father, can you allow the county lord to finish speaking." Su Jingye hurriedly knelt down and glanced at the weak-hearted queen with her eyes.

"Say." The Emperor sat back on his throne and reluctantly agreed. An Ning put the porcelain bottle on the ground and said, "This was given to me by the queen mother." She and the crown prince threatened me with the safety of my family, and asked me to put poison in the wine of His Royal Highness King Jing on the day of marriage. ”

"You are talking nonsense, when did the palace call you to come," the queen reacted in time, and immediately knelt in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubines have no children under their knees, and they have always regarded several princes as their own, how can they ask someone to do such a thing." ”

Saying that, the queen looked at An Ning sadly: "An Ning, how well this palace treats you, why do you want to slander this palace like this." ”

An Ning sneered: "Treat me well, specially tell me about Jiang Liuyu's shop, and teach me how to laugh at her, so that I can have a relationship with King Jing." took advantage of my wedding banquet with King Jing, and used my family to blackmail me to kill King Jing, all for my good? ”

The queen wanted to win over the prince to be her backer, but she regarded King Jing as a thorn in her side, and tried every means to persecute him, forcing King Jing to flee outside the capital. Many people know about this matter, and An Ning does not dare to lie, and asks His Majesty to find out. As soon as these words came out, the faces of the queen and the crown prince changed.

There was an uproar in the audience, as if they couldn't believe that the seemingly amiable queen would do such a thing.

"Your Majesty, if the county lord has a witness, then you might as well ask for clarification." Gonggong Su has served the emperor since he was a child, and he is very sincere to the emperor, knowing that the queen has different intentions, the first one is to be anxious about the emperor's urgency.

The emperor had already thought about it in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Pass." ”

An Ning and Su Jingye exchanged glances, and Su Jingye asked the housekeeper to bring people up. The first to come up was the village chief Liu of Xishan Village. The village chief had never seen such a serious formation, and when he arrived at the stage, he knelt on the ground: "The grass people knock on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Village Chief Liu, tell me what you know, 1510." When the village chief looked at Su Jingye, he was only surprised for a moment, and replied tremblingly: "Yes, the grass people have indeed seen King Jing in the village, and King Jing has been in the village for a long time. ”

As early as this morning, Su Jingye sent someone to bring Village Chief Liu and asked him to help testify against King Jing. The village chief thought that Su Jingye was just a decent housekeeper or guard, but he didn't expect him to be King Jing, so he couldn't help but be surprised for a moment.

It was just this moment of surprise that gave the queen the opportunity to refute.

"Your Majesty, this person was shocked when he saw King Jing, it seems that he has not seen King Jing much, how can his words be counted."

"Then according to the queen's mother, you must have seen this king before you can tell the truth?" The queen looked at it curiously, Su Jingye smiled contemptuously, and the housekeeper brought the second witness.

The emperor poked his eyes out, "Are you from the palace?" ”

"The slave is the queen's mother's bedroom, the little plum who is responsible for the execution." The little eunuch was calmer than Village Chief Liu, and after bowing his head and saluting, he bowed and did not look up.

"Emperor Qiqi, a few days ago, the queen called the prince, I don't know what to discuss, and the next day I called the lord of Anning. Xiao Fangzi, who was in charge of serving tea that day, suddenly had a stomach upset, and the slave went to the palace to serve him, and saw the queen mother give the county lord a bottle of things, and the county lord's face was not good, as if he was worried. ”

The Emperor looked at the Empress suspiciously, and the Empress tried to clear herself again. "Your Majesty, this eunuch is a cheap bone, and he will testify indiscriminately if he gives some money, how can he believe his words. It must be the county lord and King Jing who colluded to confess, and they all wanted to frame the concubine. ”

"Queen Mother," Su Jingye called her coldly, "The former county lord can't see people for many days, if I really bought Xiao Lizi to slander you, how can I make his confession exactly the same as what the county lord said before, the queen mother's words are too far-fetched." ”

Knocking his head heavily, An Ning looked at the emperor with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, An Ning knows that he is guilty, and he doesn't dare to think about King Jing, but this matter is all done by the courtiers alone, and the courtiers' families don't know, and ask Your Majesty to open up to them, and An Ning is here to thank you." ”

"Queen, is this the case?" The emperor believed most of it, and was looking at the queen coldly, the queen was speechless, and the prince in the audience had long since disappeared.

"If you don't say it, that's a tacit acquiescence."
