Chapter 378

When Lu Zhanfei heard this, he was so shocked that he almost fainted!

"Emperor, Emperor, this matter really has nothing to do with me!" Lu Zhanfei's tongue curled in shock, and he stammered in one sentence.

Xuanyuan Jingxi saw his stupid appearance. Suddenly, he silently hooked the corners of his lips.

Isn't this self-defeating?

When the emperor saw Lu Zhanfei's appearance, he also understood most of it in his heart, and he said angrily: "I have also heard about what you are, so let's say, why did you spread a message and frame King Jing?" ”

It's just a sideshow, and it's the real interrogation at the moment.

When Lu Zhanfei heard this, he was immediately frightened, and retorted vigorously: "Your Majesty, this is not a matter of Xiaosheng!" ”

"You said it's not your business, don't you?" The emperor said in a cold voice: "If I hadn't found anything, I wouldn't have said this, Lu Zhanfei, you have to throw all the evidence in your face before you are willing to confess!" ”

Lu Zhanfei was not intimidated. Hearing this, he immediately knelt down with a thud: "Your Majesty! I'm recruiting! I'm recruiting! ”

"Then hurry up!" The Emperor said coldly.

Xuanyuan Jingxi stood aside and didn't speak, quite a look of nothing to do with himself, hanging high, but can this matter have nothing to do with him?

He didn't speak, just because it wasn't a critical moment yet.

Lu Zhanfei listened to the emperor's question, and immediately trembled and said: "Xiaosheng heard that His Royal Highness King Jing did not buy a peony girl that day, so he brought the prince of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion home, and it was several days at a time, Xiaosheng felt that His Royal Highness King Jing was asking to marry Peony. turned to like a man, and drank in the drunken fairy building that day, and drank too much for a while, so he told the matter......"

"Ridiculous!" When the emperor heard this, he immediately said angrily: "In those days, the seventh brother has been in the palace to accompany the queen mother, and he has only forgotten to lock up Liang Gongzi, you dare to spread rumors like this, it's really damned!" Father-in-law Xuanyuan, give me a beating! ”

"Yes! Emperor! Father-in-law Xuanyuan listened to the emperor's words, and immediately stepped forward, picked up his arm and opened the bow left and right, and slapped Lu Zhanfei dozens of times in a row, so that he was dizzy, and he couldn't react for half a sound, and his cheeks and lips rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This Xuanyuan father-in-law looked old, but he didn't expect to be so ruthless.

Xuanyuan Jingxi glanced at him quietly and did not speak.

Done. The emperor waved at Xuanyuan's father-in-law and said, "Okay, there's nothing to ask, call a few people in, drag him out and hit fifty boards!" "Throw and vomit abundant blood.

"Slow!" Xuanyuan Jingxi immediately spoke.

The emperor turned his head slowly, glanced at Xuanyuan Jingxi, frowned and persuaded: "Seventh brother, this Lu Zhanfei is really not supposed to spread rumors, I have already fined him fifty boards." That's enough, if you fight again, you'll die, and that's not good for you, is it? ”

"Thank you, Brother Huang, for your kindness." Xuanyuan Jingxi rushed at the emperor

nodded, but said, "But that's not what my brother meant." As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Lu Zhanfei, and said, "Who instructed you to do this, and you are not quick to move?" ”

When Lu Zhanfei heard that the emperor was going to beat him fifty boards, his face turned bitter melon, but at this moment, when he heard Xuanyuan Jingxi's words, he felt like he had seen a ghost, and his pupils shrank sharply.

Xuanyuan Jingxi saw it and immediately sneered.

The emperor was a little puzzled, and he glanced at Xuanyuan Jingxi. Turning his head to Lu Zhanfei and asking, "Do you still have the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”

"Your Majesty! Xiaosheng is wronged! When Lu Zhanfei heard the emperor's words, he immediately felt like he had seen his own father and mother, and immediately cried: "This matter Xiaosheng just drank too much wine and said it unintentionally, where is there any mastermind behind the scenes?" Please ask the emperor to take a clear look! ”

When the emperor heard this, he looked at Lu Zhanfei's crying appearance, and couldn't help frowning at Xuanyuan Jingxi and asked, "Seventh brother, why do I think he is telling the truth!" Drunken gibberish, how can this be instructed? ”

"Brother Huang, then I want to ask, who gave him so much courage to dare to slander me?" When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he immediately sneered: "In this world, how many people can be so bold?" Dare to spread wildness on my head and ruin my reputation, I want to ask Lu Zhanfei, how many lives do you have to have such courage? ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the emperor and said in a deep voice: "Brother Huang, don't blame me for being alarmist, since this person dares to offend me, it means that the imperial power is nothing in his heart, otherwise, he, a small son of Shangshu, actually dares to say that this king is not!" ”

"Your Majesty! Xiaosheng was just drunk......" Xuanyuan Jingxi's words, Lu Zhanfei was terrified when he heard it, and he began to explain it in a hurry, for fear that the emperor would listen to Xuanyuan Jingxi's words and kill himself, he is a person who cherishes his life very much!

"Drunk? If you don't say this in private on a daily basis, why would you say such things when you're drunk? Xuanyuan Jingxi said expressionlessly: "What's more, you said that you were drunk, who saw it?" ”

Lu Zhanfei knew that he had to go out at this time, otherwise he would not be able to have his life today, and he couldn't be afraid, so he quibbled at the moment: "His Royal Highness King Jing, Xiaosheng knows that he has offended you, and he deserves death, but the conscience of heaven and earth!" I really didn't mean to! ”

The emperor had already been upset by the destruction of Yuchun Tower, and at this moment, he patiently listened to Xuanyuan Jingxi and Lu Zhanfei arguing with each other, he finally couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately snorted coldly: "Seventh brother, don't interrupt first, let Lu Zhanfei explain everything clearly!" ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi suddenly closed his mouth.

Lu Zhanfei didn't expect the emperor to help him at this time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

But as soon as the words fell, he ushered in the emperor's sharp eyes: "Lu Zhanfei, I hope what you said here today is true."

Words, if there is the slightest bit of falsehood, if it is found by me or King Jing afterwards, your result will be beaten to death with a stick, you know? ”

When Lu Zhanfei heard this, he was immediately startled, he looked at the emperor, and was a little panicked and scared: "Emperor, emperor, Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng is telling the truth......

Xuanyuan Jingxi snorted and sneered, he looked at Lu Zhanfei coldly, and said casually: "You really don't plan to confess?" ”

Lu Zhanfei was still making the last struggle, he was ignorant with a pair of eyes, pretending not to understand the meaning of Xuanyuan Jingxi's words, and said sloppily: "His Royal Highness King Jing, the little student who should say it has already been said!" ”@—

"Oh? Really? Xuanyuan Jingxi sneered, and didn't look at him again, in fact, he was already very tired of such a person, and immediately said to the emperor: "Brother Huang, my brother found out that this Lu Zhanfei and Qin Lie, the son of the Ministry of War's Mansion, had met once, and this was before the rumors spread. ”

"Qin Lie?" The emperor's face changed suddenly! He remembered, wasn't Qin Lie the attendant who had always been by Xuanyuan Yu's side? Damn it! How could Lu Zhanfei go to see him!

Since Xuanyuan Jingxi dared to say this in front of him, it meant that he had already grasped the evidence, otherwise he would never have spoken. The emperor knew this very well, so he didn't doubt him at all, and only said angrily to Lu Zhanfei with a cold face: "What King Jing said is true? You haven't recruited it yet! As he spoke, he gave Lu Zhanfei a look with Xuanyuan Jingxi behind his back.

Lu Zhanfei had already been frightened when Xuanyuan Jingxi said Qin Lie's name, and he only felt that he was going to die today, even if the emperor didn't kill him, Xuanyuan Yu would kill him afterwards, but at this moment, he saw the look handed over by the emperor, and he immediately felt certain.

The emperor didn't want him to confess! In other words, he didn't want this matter to be involved in Qin Lie, and then pulled out the third prince Xuanyuan Yu.

Thinking like this, Lu Zhanfei's heart gradually stabilized, he calmed down, and said respectfully to Xuanyuan Jingxi: "His Royal Highness King Jing, what are you talking about?" Xiao Sheng really hadn't seen that Qin Lie and Qin Gongzi. ”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Jingxi walked up, slowly squatted down, and his eyes were fixed on Lu Zhanfei's red and swollen face like a pig's head that was beaten by Xuanyuan's father-in-law. It's very different from his previous image, but it also has a bit of beauty when you look at it. Xuanyuan Jingxi stared at him and asked word by word: "Do you think this king is joking with you?" Do you have to show the evidence of your meeting with Qin Lie before you confess? ”

"Xiaosheng didn't!" Lu Zhanfei shook his head like a rattle, with the emperor behind his back, he was not afraid of anything. The previous timidity has long since disappeared.

Xuanyuan Jingxi laughed angrily, and he was about to ask again, when the emperor on the side suddenly spoke: "Seventh brother, I look at his appearance, it doesn't seem to be lying, why don't we check it again?" “

high

Yuan Jingxi turned his head and saw the emperor's meaningful gaze, which was a little cold, and in the warm imperial study, there was an indescribable infiltration.

"Okay, just listen to the royal brother." Xuanyuan Jingxi lowered his eyes and said lightly. At this moment, he finally gave up arguing, he knew. He had already touched the emperor's scales, and he didn't want to let himself check it.

When the emperor heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "It's only good that you think so, leave this matter to me to investigate!" If you have time, you can spend more time with your mother. ”

"Yes, Brother Huang." Xuanyuan Jingxi responded, but turned his head to look at Lu Zhanfei: "Brother Huang, this person slandered my reputation, and the situation is true. And he has already confessed, what does the royal brother plan to do with it? ”

Hearing this, the emperor immediately turned his head to look at Lu Zhanfei, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"Your Majesty, Xiaosheng is guilty! Xiaosheng doesn't dare anymore! Lu Zhanfei saw that the emperor looked bad, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and he kowtowed busily. I hope that the emperor can spare his life for the sake of his cooperation.

However, he was wrong, the so-called unloading the mill and killing the donkey is the emperor's consistent style.

After considering that he forced Xuanyuan Jingxi not to pursue this matter, the emperor felt that he owed something to this younger brother, but there was no way, Xuanyuan Yu was now in a deep prison, and he couldn't let it worse. So I had to let Xuanyuan Jingxi suffer some grievances.

Of course, the emperor has a clear heart, and Xuanyuan Yu is the one who set fire to Yuchun Tower behind his back. These two people. You count me, I count you, and I won't stop for a moment, and he has some deep feelings of disgust in his heart. So at this moment, even with Lu Zhanfei, he didn't like it.

At that moment, clearing his throat, the emperor said coldly: "Lu Zhanfei, you spit out the truth after drinking, slandering King Jing of the dynasty for having a habit of breaking sleeves." It can be seen that you have a lot of dirty thoughts in your heart on weekdays, and this time you made such a big mistake, I can't cover it up, so I'll give you a piece of red! ”

"Your Majesty!" When Lu Zhanfei heard that the emperor was going to give him poison, his legs suddenly weakened and he was about to faint!

Why? He obviously did what the emperor instructed, but in the end he got this ending?

The emperor refused to give him time to react, and as soon as he finished speaking, he ordered the guards to come forward and pull Lu Zhanfei down.

"Your Majesty! The emperor spares his life! I said, I'll say anything, let me go! "Life is at stake, Lu Zhanfei can't care about anything, and he starts talking nonsense at the moment.

The Emperor was furious and shouted, "Shut him up!" ”

Soon. A guard took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into Lu Zhanfei's mouth, he couldn't make a sound anymore, and was pulled down by the guards with a snort.

Xuanyuan Jingxi looked at this scene with a light smile on his face, with a faint sneer on his face.

He knew the Emperor would do it!

He was in the imperial study until he heard the report from the guards

said that Lu Zhanfei had already swallowed his breath, so he said goodbye and left.

As soon as he left, the emperor leaned back on his chair as if he had collapsed, his face was as heavy as water, and it was not until a long time had passed that he instructed Xuanyuan Gonggong on the side: "You personally ordered someone to carry Lu Zhanfei's body back to Shangshu Mansion." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Father-in-law Xuanyuan answered, and immediately turned around and retreated.

The Emperor sighed deeply in the room.

……

Xuanyuan Jingxi returned to Cining Palace, never mentioning what had just happened, and seeing that Jingyue happened to come in with the boiled medicine, he took it and fed the Queen Mother the medicine with his own hands.

"Jing'er, let them come!" The old queen mother, who is over sixty years old, said that she didn't need Xuanyuan Jingxi to feed the medicine, but her heart was happy, and the smile on her lips couldn't be suppressed.

Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled slightly and said, "Queen Mother, since the son has met, then he should not let it go." On weekdays, my son is busy, and Aunt Jingyue is also serving you, so let them all take a break! ”

"His Royal Highness King Jing is really sympathetic." When Aunt Jingyue heard this, a slight smile suddenly overflowed on her lips.

The smile on the Queen Mother's face became stronger and stronger, she didn't refuse anymore, she drank the bowl of soup medicine with Xuanyuan Jingxi's hand, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the medicine stains on the corners of the Queen Mother's mouth in person.

Jingyue retreated with the empty medicine bowl, and when only the mother and son were left in the inner hall, the Queen Mother suddenly asked, "Jing'er, have you found out who is behind the damage?" ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled slightly and said, "Queen Mother, I found out that it was Lu Zhanfei, the son of the Hubu Shangshu, but you don't have to worry, the imperial brother has personally executed him." ”

"Execution?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she was obviously stunned.

Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled lowly and said, "Yes, the imperial brother personally gave the order, but in order to cover up the truth, this Lu Zhanfei is just a scapegoat, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

He didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said it, the Queen Mother suddenly couldn't stand it: "Are you saying that there are other people who are also involved in harming you?" ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi nodded.

The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly shot a hint of fierceness: "Who framed you!" ”

This Xuanyuan Jingxi was not ready to tell her, he sat down and whispered softly to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, that person's imperial brother is now protecting, not only the son, but even you can't move, but it doesn't matter, the son already knows who it is, and one day he will avenge today." ”

In fact, he has already ruined Xuanyuan Yu's reputation and is in a state of flux. But His Royal Highness King Jing doesn't think this is revenge, and his means of rectifying people have just begun!

When the Queen Mother heard this, she looked at her son carefully, and said with some concern: "Jing'er, can you really do it yourself?" ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi nodded immediately, if he doesn't trip Xuanyuan Yu in this life, he is not worthy of Xuanyuan Jingxi!

"Well, since you have made up your mind, the queen mother won't say much, just yourself, be careful."

The Queen Mother looked at Xuanyuan Jingxidao.

Xuanyuan Jingxi nodded suddenly.

It's okay in the palace left and right, Xuanyuan Jingxi went out of the palace gate in a carriage at dusk in the afternoon, and rushed all the way to Jingwang's mansion.

Although Xuanyuan Yu was not pulled out on this trip, but Lu Zhanfei was executed, Xuanyuan Jingxi's heart was still very happy, sitting in a sedan chair along the way, he was still in a good mood humming a little song, when passing by Zhen Gui Fong, he beckoned the coachman to stop, ready to come down to buy some lotus root cake and take it back to the two girls at home to eat.

But as soon as he lifted the curtain of the carriage, an angry voice sounded above his head: "Xuanyuan Jingxi! You come down for me! "Throw long doubles.

This voice was very familiar, Xuanyuan Jingxi knew that it was Xuanyuan Yu as soon as he heard it, he slowly raised his head, and sure enough, he saw Xuanyuan Yu standing a foot away in front of him, with only two entourages by his side, staring at him with a murderous face.

Xuanyuan Jingxi laughed silently: "Imperial nephew, when I saw your uncle, I didn't say please Ye, but I still called the name of this king, what do you mean?" ”

Xuanyuan Yu didn't bother to tell him so much, and he didn't answer, but only asked in a stinging voice: "I asked you to fight alone, do you dare?" If you don't dare, you're a turtle with a shrunken head! ”

In Xuanyuan Yu's heart, Xuanyuan Jingxi is a person who cannot be provoked, as long as someone provokes him, he will definitely fight. Today, Lu Zhanfei died, and his father called him over and scolded him severely, which caused Xuanyuan Yu to have a belly of fire, and he couldn't find anyone to vent.

Who expected that Xuanyuan Jingxi would not be stimulated by this at all, he glanced at Xuanyuan Yu and replied coldly: "I'm not free, I'm going to buy lotus root flour cake." With that, he turned around and left without hesitation.
