Jiang Qiming didn't go home until dark, his entourage was worried, and then sent the letter in the study of Jiangfu to the palace quickly, the emperor was furious after reading the letter, and he hurried to the eldest princess's mansion regardless of the getting late.

The emperor was still suspicious in his heart, but it wasn't until he arrived at the princess's mansion and saw the eldest princess's weak appearance that he completely believed that what Jiang Qiming said in his letter was true.

Over the years, Chen Hu's deeds have become more and more absurd, but he has been holding back when he thinks that this is his eldest sister's favorite son, but in recent days, Chen Hu has been so absurd that he challenged the imperial power.

However, even so, the emperor just sent him out of Shangjing, out of sight and out of mind, and let him go to Cannes to indulge.

All this was Chen Hu's fault, but now the eldest princess has put all the responsibility for all this on Su Xiaoman, which is groundless and unreasonable!

If it weren't for his trust in Jiang Qiming and his knowledge that he would not do such an obscene and shameless thing, I am afraid that Su Xiaoman and Jiang Qiming would have already gone to the execution ground at this time.

Thinking of this, the emperor's face became more and more ugly, his hand pressed on the armrest, and said in a deep voice: "Eldest sister, I have always respected you and valued you, but now, you have used my respect for you to do such things. ”

The calmer she was, the more panicked the eldest princess became, she took a few steps forward a little helplessly, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, are you ..... You're my brother! How can you listen to the slander of others and doubt me? Emperor! ”

"According to what you say, you didn't imprison Su Xiaoman privately, and you didn't order someone to frame Jiang Qiming?" The emperor was expressionless, his eyes were deep, and he couldn't see his true emotions clearly.

The eldest princess knew the temperament of her younger brother, so when he asked like this, she immediately nodded and replied: "I admit it, I have a grudge against Su Xiaoman, but at most I only scold her in private, and give her a stumbling block from time to time, she is the wife of General Lu, how dare I imprison her privately!" ”

"I know that Chen Hu is ridiculous and has done a lot of shameless things, and I also know that the emperor thinks of our blood and family affection, and there is no heavy punishment, so I have never been dissatisfied with the emperor, let alone think about revenge, your majesty, you must not listen to slander and doubt me!"

The words were touching, and she forcibly portrayed herself as a lonely and pitiful mother, if it weren't for the emperor's trust in Jiang Qiming, I am afraid that he would regret these words.

"Eldest Princess, what do you mean by this? Do you mean that I have wronged you? The emperor was not impressed in the slightest.

The eldest princess was stunned, looked at the emperor without saying anything, and didn't say anything for a long time.

Seeing this, the emperor got up, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked down at the eldest princess not far away, with a grim face, "If you really didn't imprison Su Xiaoman, you don't have to explain so much here, just let my people search your mansion." ”

As he spoke, the emperor waved his hand: "Someone!" ”

The eldest princess subconsciously took a step forward, but soon she realized that her move was too redundant, which would only make the emperor's suspicion heavier.

She clenched her palms, tried to pretend to be light-hearted, and said before the guards arrived: "Your Majesty, even if you want to search my mansion, don't make such a big move, otherwise if outsiders know about this matter, they will only suspect our sister and brother ......"

"If the eldest princess doesn't make a big deal about it, then no one will know about it at all. Besides, I want to see who has the courage to talk about the family affairs of the Son of Heaven. The emperor was unmoved.

The string in the eldest princess's heart tightened even tighter, the arm supported by the grandmother kept trembling, her calves trembled, and the whole person seemed to be standing on the edge of the cliff, and she would fall at any time.

Faced with the emperor's pressing step by step, she could only grit her teeth and spit out: "Then ask the emperor to check." ”

As soon as the words fell, the emperor's guards also came, and after receiving the order, they turned around and left, and searched the eldest princess's mansion with a team of heavily armed guards.

The emperor glanced at the eldest princess who was still standing, coughed lightly, and then said, "The eldest princess is tired of standing, right?" Sit down first, if I wronged you, I will apologize to you and take Chen Hu back, but if Su Xiaoman, the eldest princess, is really found at this time, don't blame me for ignoring my childhood feelings. ”

"Your Majesty." The eldest princess sat down tremblingly under the support of her grandmother, and did not dare to express half an opinion on the second half of what the emperor said.

The atmosphere in the main hall was weird and tense, the eldest princess kept wiping her sweat with a handkerchief, and the grandmother also leaned over from time to time to comfort a few words, because the emperor was present, she didn't dare to say it too obviously, only to reassure the eldest princess again and again.

The yard had been deserted for a long time, and the gate of the yard was not guarded, so it should not arouse the suspicion of the guards, let alone search for the dilapidated house......

Just thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of uniform footsteps at the door of the main hall, and the grandmother and the eldest princess immediately raised their hearts to their throats, and the two of them didn't even dare to come out, so they just stared at the door to see if it was the guards or Su Xiaoman who came in later.

"Wow-"

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the eldest princess couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and there was a "bang", which was particularly obvious in this quiet and somewhat excessive main hall, which made the emperor look at her sideways.

At this time, the emperor is not nervous, in case Su Xiaoman is really not imprisoned here, then he just listened to slander and wronged his dear eldest sister, although such a thing will not be spread out and criticized, but it will also become a thorn in the gap between him and the eldest princess, affecting the relationship between the two.

What the truth is, just wait a little longer to see if the guards will bring Su Xiaoman with them.

"Wow-"

Footsteps are near! It's already at the door!

The eldest princess couldn't hold it anymore, and stood up directly, she tightened her handkerchief and stared straight in the direction of the door.

Closer, closer.

"Weichen meets the emperor!" The first to come was the chief of the guard, who was dressed in a military robe, with a straight face and a long knife at his waist.

The emperor couldn't wait to get up, "Have you found it?" ”

The head of the guard hesitated, but beckoned back, and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, as you guessed, Madam Lu is indeed imprisoned in a dilapidated courtyard in the princess's mansion. ”

The eldest princess's heart fell into the abyss, she sat back on the chair weakly, the string in her heart suddenly broke, she didn't react for a long time, and she didn't even hear the emperor's angry questioning.

When she came back to her senses, Su Xiaoman, who was covered in dust, was already standing in the main hall and was replying: "If you go back to the emperor, the concubine was indeed brought over suddenly this morning, but the eldest princess did not treat her harshly, and not long ago she sent food to the concubine, except for the dust in the room, it is indeed a little choking, and the concubines in other aspects can barely adapt, after all, the princess's mansion is a hundred times better than the dungeon of the palace Yin Yamen." ”

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as he said this, the emperor was even more angry: "You were imprisoned in the dungeon of the Yin Yamen before? ”

"When I returned to the emperor, the concubine was framed, so she was forcibly taken into the dungeon." Su Xiaoman saluted, his body was full of filth, and his eyes were still bright, "The concubine and Lu Li are in love with each other, and the relationship is deep, even if they are persecuted, I will definitely not betray Lu Li, so the rumors about those concubines and Lord Jiang are all nonsense, and I hope the emperor will be aware of them." ”

The emperor's face can no longer be described as ugly, he walked around the house, his hands tightly behind his back, everyone could see that the emperor was furious.

Even if Chen Hu was broken and bullied Su Xiaoman before, the emperor's face was not so ugly.

The eldest princess became more and more panicked in her heart, she suddenly got up and knelt on the ground, crying: "Your Majesty, don't listen to this demon girl's words, she seduced Chen Hu before and failed, and now she has come to frame me again!" I called her just to ask a few questions, and I don't know anything about what she said! I also hope that the emperor will be aware of it, and don't let others affect the relationship between our sisters and brothers! ”

"Bang-"

The teacups, teapots, and ornaments on the table were all waved to the ground by the emperor's sleeves, and the eldest princess was so frightened that she knelt motionless on the ground, and Su Xiaoman also held her breath and didn't dare to say more.

But even at this time, the emperor didn't say a word, he just sat on the high throne, his chest kept rising and falling, the silence in the room was terrifying, and he could only hear the emperor's heavy breathing.

Su Xiaoman cautiously raised his eyes and glanced at the eldest princess who was still kneeling on the ground, and then secretly raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor in front of him.

The eldest princess looked like the sky was about to fall, and the emperor's eyes had mixed emotions, heartache and disbelief, as well as a trace of anger and regret.

Being deceived by his most trusted eldest sister must be very uncomfortable, right?

Xiao Man sighed silently in his heart and lowered his eyes secretly.

"Sue."

She heard the emperor suddenly call her name, and hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”

"Today's incident has wronged you, as for the person who framed you, I will punish you, you are pregnant now, I will send someone to send you back first, if someone frames you for no reason in the future, you can come and tell me."

When he said these words, the emperor seemed to suddenly be dozens of years old, and Xiao Man didn't dare to look at the holy face because of the rules, so he just knelt down and saluted, thanked the lord Longen and prepared to turn around and leave.

Sister Wanrou and they must be in a hurry after waiting for so long, and they have to go back as soon as possible to report their safety.

But just when Xiao Man just turned around, a small guy suddenly ran outside the door, seeing his hurried steps, as if there was something important.

Xiao Man couldn't help but slow down, only to see the little guy rushing into the main hall, without waiting for the emperor to ask, he knelt down directly, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess, Yin outside the door asks to see, saying that there is something important to see, it is about... About Master Jiang. ”
