Chapter 21: Spoiler
Two days later, Qinghuan sent Qing'er to the Imperial Study and Longyue Palace many times to deliver news to Su Ying, but they all returned in vain. Su Ying closed the door and disappeared, which made Qing Huan anxious. In addition, Jin Yunfei didn't find Miaoqin's mother and younger brother for a long time, and Qing Huan's heart was even more uneasy.
On this day, Qinghuan asked Qing'er to go to Longyue Palace again. It's just that after a short time, Qing'er came back and brought Father-in-law Tian with her. Tian An stepped forward and saluted, and said, "Niangniang, the king invited Niangniang to Longyue Palace, and the fire in the cold palace has an eyebrow." I also asked the mother to go with the old slave. ”
Qing Huan didn't know what Su Ying was doing again, she didn't see her a few days ago, but now she actually came to the door to say that she had eyebrows. Could it be that he had found another substitute for the dead? No matter what, Qing Huan still followed Tian An to Longyue Palace.
The sandalwood in the Dragon Leap Palace is swirling, Su Ying sits on the top seat, Liu Xianrou and Li Chuyun sit on the left and right, and the rest of the ladies and girls are in the lower position.
Since the chance encounter in the Imperial Garden that night, this is the first time that Qing Huan has looked at Su Ying so closely, and after not seeing him for a few days, he seems to be very tired, and his face is not very good. Qing Huan saluted and sat down in his place.
Since Qinghuan entered the door, Su Ying has been looking at her, her fingers keep tapping on the table, as if she was thinking about something.
Su Ying didn't speak for a long time, and the concubines began to get impatient, Liu Xianrou still held her breath, sat on Su Ying's right side, and said nothing. This is what her mother has been teaching since she married Su Ying, if you don't say anything, the concubine won't say anything.
It's just that Li Chuyun is different, from the moment Qing Huan came in, she looked at Qing Huan with disdain. Su Ying didn't speak, so she said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, why hasn't this started yet, the concubines are sitting with a backache." ”
Su Ying stopped his fingers and said with a smile, "Why be so anxious, come on, give Li Guiren a cushion!" ”
Li Chuyun heard that the king had added a cushion to her, and hurriedly said shyly, "Thank you, concubine!" After speaking, he looked at the concubines present defiantly.
Thurdance sat right next to her. snorted disdainfully, but he was very jealous in his heart. Liu Qianrou never took Li Chuyun in her eyes, the Liu family is in full swing now, and she has no need to take the daughter of this nouveau riche family in her eyes. Her worst enemy has always been one woman.
After another quarter of an hour, there was no figure outside the main hall, but a crisp voice was heard, "Yo, it's really lively today!" ”
With the voice, Yang Yuyan helped the old princess into the hall. A group of people hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "See the old princess, see Concubine Yang!" ”
Qing Huan knelt on the ground, it seems that today's matter is not simple, otherwise Su Ying would not have invited the old princess. The old princess waved her hand, glanced at everyone, her eyes fell on Qing Huan, and she quickly moved away and said, "Get up!" ”
"The Queen Mother." Su Ying came down to help the old princess and helped her to the seat. Yang Yuyan also sat down with the old princess. It's just that his eyes kept falling on Su Ying. Su Ying turned a deaf ear.
"I invited all the palaces to come today, for the sake of the cold palace and the water, and to seek justice for the nobles." After everyone quieted down, Su Ying spoke, "Someone! Pull up the little eunuch who reported to the cold palace and walked away! ”
Not long after, a little eunuch was brought up tremblingly, and his tattered clothes revealed the whip marks inside, "The king spares his life, the king spares his life!" The little eunuch's eyes were hollow, thinking of the torture he had suffered a few days ago, it was really worse than death, but he could not confess to his master, he could only act according to his master's plan.
"Say! Who instructed you to go to the cold palace and set fire? Su Ying asked sharply
"Back to the emperor, it's Li Guiren, it's Li Guiren who asked his servants to set the fire!" The little eunuch pointed at Li Guiren and said. Su Ying gave him a lot of hardships, and he found out that he set the fire himself!
Li Chuyun, who was arranging the Zhu Hai with flowers, heard the little eunuch calling her, and everyone's attention suddenly shifted to her. She froze at Su Ying's flattering face, then reacted and said fiercely at the little eunuch, "Bold! You dare to slander this palace, you are impatient! Someone's coming! Pull out his tongue for Hongu! ”
In the eyes of everyone, Li Chuyun was annoyed and angry, and wanted to kill people. But only Qing Huan watched this farce quietly. In the blink of an eye, he looked at Yang Yuyan's provocative eyes and the winner's smile. Qing Huan was stunned for a moment, as if he felt that something was wrong.
Hearing the report of the little eunuch, among the people present, Se Wu was the happiest. This Li Chuyun usually likes to bully her the most, relying on his father's wealth to be powerful in the palace. It's a good thing, it's really happy. Although this Liu Qianrou can't get used to Li Chuyun, but. She also knew that Li Chuyun didn't have such courage.
It is said that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if Li Chuyun is framed today, then tomorrow it will be her! She will definitely not succeed in Yang Yuyan. When she turned her head to look at Yang Yuyan, she saw her looking at Su Ying with a charming face. She already knew that Yang Yuyan would not give up. framed her that day, she informed her father of the matter, and her father led everyone to ask for justice. didn't want Su Ying to find a substitute for the dead ghost.
She will never let Su Ying cover this woman again! She has come to this day step by step, and she is still one step away from taking the position of princess. No matter how Yang Yuyan is a princess, no matter how many means, there is already an insurmountable gully between her and Su Ying!
Su Ying smiled lightly, looking at this farce, as if she didn't think it was chaotic enough, so she said, "Come on, take down Li Guiren!" ”
As soon as the words fell, several guards stepped forward to set up Li Chuyun. Li Chuyun looked at Su Ying in horror, "Your Majesty, the king's concubines are wronged!" O king, see! It's all this dog minion, it's all his nonsense! The concubine is wronged! ”
Qing Huan stood up from his position, his beautiful face was a little indignant, and he waved his hand and said, "Slow! ”
The guard heard Qing Huan's voice and stopped what he was doing. Li Chuyun was no longer restrained, but he pounced forward by inertia, and the Zhu Hai on his head also fell to the ground, and his hair was a mess. Su Ying glanced at it, and there was not the slightest fluctuation in his ink-colored pupils.
Qing Huan felt that Su Ying should not be such a person, but he didn't expect that he would casually want Li Chuyun's life in order to protect Yang Yuyan! The queen mother is right, the love between men and women is poison, which can make people lose their minds and do crazy things. For example, her, such as Su Ying, such as Yang Yuyan.
Qing Huan took a step forward, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Why is the king so arbitrary, just based on the words of a minion, he wants to convict Li Guiren." Why don't you listen to how this Li Guiren instructed this slave? ”
"Chang Qinghuan! You slut! When did this palace instruct this dog minion, you don't want to spew blood! When Li Chuyun heard the first half of Qing Huan's sentence, she thought she was going to intercede for her, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, she just wanted to make her charges confirm!
Qing Huan ignored her, staring at Su Ying with a pair of attentive eyes, waiting for his answer. Su Ying's inky eyes reflected her petite figure. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Su Ying looked away, "In this way, the Lone King will listen." ”
In the main hall, Qing Huan stood in the center, his petite body straight. Su Ying's performance made her a little disappointed, and sure enough, there are some things that can only be seen after getting along for a long time. I thought that I just glanced at Su Ying at the beginning, and went to this South Vietnam, but I didn't want him to be so mediocre!
"Your Majesty, can you allow Qinghuan to ask him a few words?" Qing Huan smiled at the corner of her mouth, and she didn't see how angry she was. Su Ying raised her hand and signaled that she could.
With Su Ying's permission, Qing Huan turned to look at the little eunuch and said, "This palace asks you, you keep saying that Li Guiren asked you to set the fire, what evidence do you have?" You are a eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office, why do you have to listen to Li Guiren? ”
When the little eunuch heard Qing Huan ask, his body trembled and said, "Back to Niangniang's words, Li Guiren gave the slave a hundred taels, and asked the slave to go to the cold palace to set fire, saying that there will be a hundred taels after the matter is completed, and the slave is fascinated for a while, so he made a big mistake, and beg Niangniang to forgive him!" ”
Li Chuyun knelt on the ground, and when he heard the words of the little eunuch, he scolded angrily, "You dog slave!" When will Hongu give you a hundred taels! ”
She couldn't get angry, she got up from the ground and was about to kick him, but was stopped by Qing Huan. Qing Huan said in a low voice, "If you don't want to be wronged, calm down and don't make a noise obediently." ”
Li Chuyun was stunned for a moment, then quieted down in an instant, and knelt down obediently.
Su Ying sat on the dragon chair, looked at all this coldly, and didn't make a sound, letting Qing Huan ask. The old princess also watched with interest, not making a sound, nor stopping it. His son knows best that since Su Ying is letting it go, he naturally has his arrangements. It's just that she and Su Ying both know who set the fire, so let's see how Qing Huan finds the evidence!
"Since you said that Li Guiren instructed you, when did she instruct you?" Qing Huan's footsteps moved slightly, and he walked in front of the little eunuch again.
"As soon as Niangniang entered the cold palace, Li Guiren asked the servants to go to the cold palace and set fire! Mother's life! The little eunuch bowed his head and kowtowed as he spoke.
"You talk nonsense!" Li Chuyun's personal palace maid Wanhe scolded, ran forward and knelt next to Li Chuyun, "Your Majesty, my mother has been following the king since the imperial garden, and she has never left half a step, the king is clear!" ”
"Li Guiren has indeed never left the Lone King, so how can he instruct you to say it? Someone's coming! Pull down and hit twenty boards! Su Ying slapped the table and said.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty!" A few guards stepped forward to set up the little eunuch and was about to go out. The little eunuch didn't want to be tortured anymore, so he struggled desperately.
"Wait!" Qing Huan stopped it, and the guards stopped, but they were still holding the little eunuch, "This palace asks you the last sentence, if you are willing to answer well, this palace will definitely ask the king to spare you from death, but if you are unwilling to answer well...... The crime of bullying the king will be even the nine clans! ”
The little eunuch glanced in the direction of Concubine Yang, and saw the latter arranging his nails, as if all this had nothing to do with him. The little eunuch gritted his teeth, "The slave said!" Minions say everything! ”
"Who is the person who went with you that day?" Qing Huan asked sharply. Although she already knew who it was, what he said was more convincing than what she said herself.
"It's Gonggong Liu, the slave instructed by Liu Er, Gonggong Liu of the Internal Affairs Office, let the slave frame Li Guiren, Niangniang Mingcha, Niangniang Mingcha!" His family is still in the hands of Concubine Yang, so he can only confess Liu Er!
Su Ying should naturally cooperate with Qing Huan's play, and before Qing Huan could speak, he said, "Come on, bring Liu Er of the Internal Affairs Office to the lonely king!" ”
