Chapter 68: The Night of Marriage (8)
Prince Songqi was angry, bowed to the princes seated, and said: "The princes don't know, in fact, Songqi has already found out the identity of the beauty of the picture scroll, and the reason why he pretended not to know is actually to test Loulan to see if Loulan sincerely wants to open up trade with other countries." Songqi has great hope in this newspaper, who expected Loulan......... It's so teasing of people! Songqi was very disappointed! β
"Prince Songqi, since you have found out the identity of the woman, why don't you make it public? Let everyone see if King Loulan is really as you say, prevaricating you. A different prince proposed, and the other princes nodded in agreement.
"Her identity ........." Prince Songqi raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and said meaningfully: "Three years ago, Songqi's entourage found out her identity, saying that she was an official lady in Loulan, with a noble background, Songqi thought about it day and night, and wanted to accept her as his wife, but the transportation was inconvenient at that time, and the two countries had no intention of coming and going, so Songqi had to endure the pain of lovesickness. β
At this point, he paused, raised his eyes to look at the tall figure on the throne, and his eyes seemed to be provocative, "I heard that her surname is Aiti, her name is Yisha, and she is the daughter of an important minister under the name of the first emperor." β
As soon as these words came out, Minister Loulan's face changed greatly.
The more this Songqi prince talked, the more rampant he became, relying on the backer behind him, as the prince of Weitou, there was no one in the eyes of Loulan territory, openly provoking the Holy Lord, and bluntly telling the name of the queen!
Angry! Really infuriating!
The minister couldn't suppress his anger and wanted to make a statement, but as soon as his body was raised, he was secretly stopped by others around him.
The strength of the captain is second only to Loulan, and in the perennial war between Loulan and Persia, they should not add another enemy.
But let him run rampant, wouldn't he ride on their Loulan's head?
"Issa? What a good name! β
The princes of various countries did not notice the abnormality of the minister of Loulan, and looked at the king of Loulan respectfully, making the decision for him: "I wonder if the holy lord can invite the woman named Yisha, let the two women compare in public, and see who is more like a beautiful woman?" β
The prince who said this was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire and was unaware of it, not only bluntly saying the queen's name, but also suggesting that a country appear in the Chaoyun Palace after that, and let them point fingers!
I don't know how the Holy Lord will react?
King Loulan, his profound facial features were still expressionless, he fell into deep thought, as if he hadn't heard the conversation of the people below, otherwise, according to his violent character, Prince Songqi's head would have fallen to the ground long ago!
"Xuan."
After a long time, he finally reacted, and the word he said shocked Minister Loulan.
Holy Lord......... Obeyed the meaning of Prince Songqi and wanted to announce the queen's mother into the palace?
Not only were they stunned, but even Prince Songqi himself was surprised.
It is rumored that the king of Loulan was violent by nature, temperamental, often cutting off people's heads and cutting off their limbs, and he repeatedly saw that no one wanted to provoke the other party, but the king of Loulan did not react, and even agreed to his proposal.
What is this man scheming?
I don't know why, Prince Songqi's back inexplicably broke out in a cold sweat, as if something bad was waiting for him next.
Everyone speculated, and the closed door of the temple opened under the watchful eyes of everyone, and unexpectedly, the imperial guard Aji walked in with a man in black covered in wounds.
Prince Songqi turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw the familiar figure, his heart jumped, and his face changed suddenly!
It turned out that the person who King Loulan asked Xuanjin to enter the hall was not Yisha, but .........
"Get on your knees!"
Aggie kicked the man in the leg socket, forcing him to his knees.
"Holy Lord, the criminals have been brought!"
"Holy Lord, this ......... What's going on? "The princes of various countries were confused, obviously they were discussing the painting of women, why did they suddenly bring in an unidentified criminal?
"Everyone, don't be impatient, I invite everyone here today, not to promise Prince Songqi to find someone, but in fact, there is another matter, I hope to find out in front of everyone."
King Loulan's calm voice calmed everyone's uneasy emotions, and under the gesture of his eyes, Aji tore off the black cloth covering the criminal's tongue and scolded sharply: "Why don't you confess your crime in public?!" β
The man's skin was cut open, and blood was constantly gushing out, and no skin on his body was intact, not only his body, but also his hands and feet were beaten to varying degrees, which shows what kind of torture he went through before he came.
The interrogation building is famous far and wide, and there are thousands of torture instruments of all kinds in it, each of which makes people's hairs stand on end, even the most hard-mouthed criminals have to surrender in front of these terrible instruments.
"Sinners......... Sinners have made grave mistakes......... Intended to hold the queen hostage........."
The man intermittently confessed his crime with difficulty, and Aji slapped his palm on his back with a dissatisfied expression, and said sharply: "In front of the Son of Heaven, why don't you quickly confess to the mastermind behind the scenes?!" β
He slapped the man in black with a golden star, holding back the pain in his chest, he slowly turned his head and looked at the prince of Songqi with a blue face, "He ........."
"Songqi doesn't understand what the Holy Lord's purpose is in doing this?!" At the critical moment, Prince Songqi interrupted the confession that the man in black was about to blurt out.
Damn, on the day Su Luyue got married, none of the masked people he sent survived, and Su Luyue told him that it was the Imperial Forest Army that exterminated all the masked people and left no one alive. Believing it to be true, he secretly lamented that he had underestimated the strength of the Imperial Guards, regretted that he had sent too few assassins, and planned to find another suitable opportunity to attack again.
Unexpectedly, he was actually fooled by Su Luyue, and that stinky woman betrayed him!
No wonder, no wonder King Loulan has ignored his aggressive words many times, it turns out that .........
Hmph, just because an assassin wants to punish him? That's naΓ―ve!
"Prince Songqi, don't worry, it's better to listen to the criminals explain clearly!" Aji glanced at him lightly, his eyes flickered, and motioned for the man in black to continue.
"Prince......... Er is a soldier under the command of Prince Songqi, and the prince instructed Er to secretly enter the palace and pretend to be an assassin on the day of the wedding held in the Protectorate Mansion, but in fact he held the queen hostage......... Since threatening the king of Loulan........."
"Nonsense! Nonsense! Pure nonsense! As soon as the assassin confessed, Prince Songqi hurriedly denied it: "This palace should immediately write a letter to my father, asking him to find out who is behind the framing of this palace!" β
"I don't think there's any need for the prince to do this!"
Prince Songqi's voice sank: "What do you mean?" β
Aji sneered, "The prince knows what he has done, he has committed a heinous crime in the territory of Loulan, even if you invite the Jade Emperor, I am afraid that you will not be exempted from the crimes you committed!" β
"You......... You don't talk gibberish! Hongu has never done such a thing, Hongu sees......... I'm afraid that this person was framed by your Loulan and slandered by the palace! β
