Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Princess Is Disfigured
At this time, Yue Zhu'er was walking towards this side with the prince talking and laughing, followed by many noble sons and young ladies.
At this moment, many fireworks were suddenly lit in the dim palace, and the prosperity was amazing, and as soon as the fireworks were extinguished, the prince was also interested, and said with a smile: "It seems that the second brother is really leisurely, let's go and have a look." ”
Walking in but finding that there was no one around except for the scattered fireworks, the prince walked towards the inner hall in surprise, and as soon as he pushed open the door, he heard a man's low roar from inside.
At this time, all the candles in the inner hall suddenly burned, and the light was bright in all directions, and everyone was stunned on the spot when they saw the scene in front of them.
The two princes were lying with a man all over, and the bruises and purple marks on their bodies clearly showed what the two of them had done, and many daughters hurriedly turned around and lowered their heads, and then a prince suddenly said loudly: "That's Chen Qing from Prime Minister Chen's mansion!" ”
"What's going on here?" At this time, the emperor's voice came from behind everyone, and when he saw that everyone's faces were very strange, he stepped into the inner hall with a frown, and his face was suddenly clouded when he saw the scene in front of him.
"Son! Tell the emperor what the hell is going on! Chen Ying learned that his son had an accident and immediately hurried into the palace, looked at Chen Qing who was kneeling in the main hall and scolded angrily.
At this time, only the emperor, the crown prince, the second prince and Chen Qing were left in the main hall, as well as the ninth princess Luo Xiu'e, who arrived later.
"Xiao Jiu, what are you doing here!" When the emperor saw Luo Xiu'e, he suddenly had a headache.
This matter is a royal secret, although Fang just warned those children of the family, but how can this kind of thing be covered? Now that Luo Xiu'e is a girl's house here, isn't it even more difficult to talk about it?
"Chen Gongzi, aren't you with Yue Qianfan?" Luo Xiu'e heard that it was Chen Qingcai who rushed over in a hurry, and how could she leave by herself because of the emperor's words, so she was the first to ask.
"I don't know ...... either" Chen Qing's eyes were dilated, and the whole person was in a trance, he knew that his life was over today.
He has been his father's most valued child since he was a child, he has been with famous teachers since he was a child, and he has always thought that he will be like his father in this life to enter the court as an official and be loyal to Huangyuan.
He looked down on Chen Feng, and he looked down on the statement, he always felt that no one in the family could compare with him, but now that this kind of thing had happened, he couldn't imagine the sneering eyes of those people when they saw him, and he couldn't imagine others pointing behind his back......
Seeing that Chen Qing was completely uncooperative with herself, Luo Xiu'e turned her head hatefully and said: "Father, the girl of Yue Shilang's family and I both saw that Chen Qing left with Yue Qianfan, and now Chen Qing has an accident, but Yue Qianfan is nowhere to be seen, there must be something strange about this matter!" ”
Although things have developed to this point now that they have been beyond her expectations, she set up a situation just to deal with Yue Qianfan, how could she easily stay out of the matter?
"Yue Qianfan?" The emperor thought about it, and the face that was still calm in the face of Qin Xiang's accusations and the eighth prince's expression of affection in the Qin family's rebellion case came to mind, and he couldn't help asking, "Is it General Yue's daughter?" ”
"Exactly!" The crown prince nodded and said, "Father, since this matter involves Yue Zhu'er and Yue Qianfan, it is better to call both of them and ask." ”
The emperor didn't speak, looking at the second prince kneeling on the ground and Chen Qing, who was a little distraught, frowning and thinking about something, Chen Ying didn't dare to raise his head on the main hall, and for a while the main hall fell into a death-like silence.
I don't know how long it took for the emperor to slowly speak: "Pass the two of them to the palace!" ”
When Qian Fan came in, Nalan Minhao was followed by him, and Luo Xiu'e seemed to be able to breathe fire in her eyes when she saw the two of them appear together.
After the three of them saluted, the emperor looked at Nalan Minhao and said, "Why did you come here?" ”
"Xiao Fan'er was invited by me, and now that she has been summoned by the emperor, I will come over to see what happened?" Nalan Minhao didn't seem to notice the strange atmosphere in the hall at all, and still walked to the place where he usually sat with a smile on his face and sat down.
"Yue Qianfan was invited by you?" Although the emperor was smiling, he looked at Yue Qianfan with some suspicion.
"Yes," Nalan Minhao said with a smile: "Many people think Xiao Fan'er is interesting, and I don't have anyone to invite me anyway, so I asked Xiao Mei'er to come with me." ”
"Yue Qianfan, the ninth princess said that she saw you and the son of the Chen family just now, where did you go later?" The crown prince saw that the emperor glanced at him, and hurriedly looked at Yue Qianfan and asked.
"She's always been with me," Nalan Minhao looked at the prince in surprise and said, "I haven't seen Gongzi Chen at all." ”
"Impossible!" Luo Xiu'e saw that Nalan Minhao actually defended Qianfan, and she was even more angry and said loudly: "Brother Minhao, you were obviously called away by the Queen Mother, why did you lie for this woman!" ”
"Xiao Jiu, you must have evidence to speak." Nalan Minhao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How do you know that I was once called away by the Queen Mother?" Could it be that you've been spying on me? ”
"I, I didn't!" Luo Xiu'e turned her head to look at Yue Zhu'er and asked, "Yue Zhu'er, you also saw it, right!" ”
"Back to the emperor, the courtiers did see the second sister leaving with Chen Qinggongzi, and the prince of Nalan was not by the second sister's side at that time." After Yue Zhu'er finished speaking, she whispered to Qianfan: "I'm sorry second sister, my sister is just telling the truth, you must not blame my sister." ”
"Yue Qianfan, do you have something to say?" The emperor looked at Qianfan and asked.
"Back to the emperor, the courtiers have always been with the prince of Nalan and have never been separated." Qian Fan replied quietly: "The courtiers haven't seen Gongzi Chen either. ”
"You talk nonsense!" Luo Xiu'e heard that Qian Fan completely denied it, pointed at her and said to the emperor: "Father, I saw her and Chen Qing leave together, she is lying!" ”
"Xiao Jiu'er, you mean I'm lying?" Nalan Minhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Luo Xiu'e coldly.
"That's it!" The emperor frowned and looked at Chen Qing and asked, "Chen Qing, how did you get to that palace?" ”
"It's not me, I don't ......" Chen Qing suddenly laughed, pointed at Laurang Gang and said: "They were all killed by you, they have nothing to do with me, don't kill me!" Don't kill me! ”
"Come on, Chen Qing is crazy, hurry up and take him down!" Seeing Chen Qing's crazy appearance, the prince hurriedly shouted.
The guards hurriedly rushed in to take down Chen Qing, but he didn't expect Chen Qing to know where the strength came from, three or four people didn't hold him down, and one of the guards' swords was suddenly snatched by him.
"Go away! Not me! Chen Qing seemed to have seen something terrifying, slashing and slashing frantically, completely falling into madness.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Chen Qing's sword suddenly came out of his hand and flew straight towards the Ninth Princess, and Luo Xiu'e subconsciously wanted to grab the people around her to block the arrow.
And Qian Fan, who had just retreated to the side of the Ninth Princess, turned sideways slightly as if he was frightened, dodging Luo Xiu'e reaching out and hitting her by the way, only to hear a poof, the sword grazed Luo Xiu'e and nailed it to the wall.
"Ahh Luo Xiu'e covered her eyes and fell to the ground in pain, crying: "Father, save me!" Father! ”
And Chen Qing didn't know what he had done at all, so he directly pounced on the second prince, who was still a little dizzy because of drunkenness, and bit his ear desperately, so painful that Laurent just yelled, and the hall was suddenly in chaos.
The emperor hurriedly walked up to Luo Xiu'e, and found that one of Luo Xiu'e's eyes had been cut by the sword, turned around and said angrily: "Kill Chen Qing immediately!" ”
When Chen Ying heard this, he was already anxious, and he didn't mention the breath he was holding in his heart, and fainted directly, and those guards didn't care, let go of their hands and feet to deal with Chen Qing, and finally stabbed him to death on top of the main hall.
According to the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, Luo Xiu'e's wound cut by the sword was too deep and would leave a scar, and that eye was not saved, Luo Xiu'e heard that she was blind in one eye, and smashed everything in the palace in a rage.
The emperor was very sad when he heard this, and ordered that Laurang be demoted to a commoner and expelled from the palace, and Chen Qing's body was thrown into a mass grave, and the body was not allowed to be collected for burial.
When Nalan Minhao sent Qianfan away, he happened to meet the prince and Yue Zhu'er, at this time, everyone had been tossing all night, the sun was slowly rising from behind the high wall, Yue Zhu'er turned her head and looked at Qianfan's bright eyes standing in the darkness under the city wall, and suddenly her back was cold, as if it was not Yue Qianfan who was standing there, but a demon who was asking for her life.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Yue Zhu'er's panicked appearance, the prince asked with concern.
"No, nothing!" Yue Zhu'er shook her head and hurriedly got into the carriage, until the curtain of the carriage blocked Qianfan's gaze and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go." Seeing the prince's carriage leaving, Nalan Minhao looked down at Qianfan and said, "You haven't returned overnight, I have already sent someone to inform you from the General's Mansion, this will send you back, right?" ”
"How could Chen Qing go crazy?" Although Qian Fan also believed in the theory of ghosts and gods since she was reborn, she always felt that this thing was too strange when a good person suddenly went crazy.
"Frost gave him a fairy pill when he threw him in." Nalan Minhao said as he walked: "The Immortal Pill was developed by Old Man Yun, and people will hallucinate after eating it, Chen Qing has been pretentious since he was a child, he can't imagine how he will be ridiculed in the future, so it is easier to hallucinate." ”
"What are you going to do with Laurent?" Qian Fan looked at Nalan Minhao and asked, Laurang just knew Nalan Minhao's identity and intended to get involved with him, this has already formed a grudge, and if there is a vengeance, he will not repay the non-gentleman, and now that Laurent has just been demoted to a commoner, she should take revenge to eliminate the hatred in her heart.
"I haven't thought about it yet." Nalan Minhao paused, turned around and looked down at Qianfan, his eyes were as gentle as water.
"What's wrong?" Qian Fan raised his head and looked at him, for some reason his heart was beating faster and faster, and he lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at him again.
"Shall I go to the General's Mansion to propose relatives?" Nalan Minhao's voice was like soft silk, gently wrapping Qianfan's heart, and the warm and sweet feeling flowed to her limbs, making her not know what to do for a while.
