Chapter 190: House Arrest of the Eldest Princess
The eldest princess walked straight to the maid angrily, and couldn't help but slap the other party, "Full of nonsense!" Bengong has been treating you very well, but now you are slandering Bengong like this, dog minion! If something happens to this palace, you have to be buried with you! ”
Unexpectedly, this dark room has been sealed for a while, and this maid is still alive!
"Eldest princess, why are you doing this!" The maid said in a hoarse voice: "The slave is cheap, he has committed such a big thing, and he knows that he can't escape death, can't the slave even say it to someone who really wants to harm Lu Guogong?" Eldest princess, you are the emperor's own sister, you could have enjoyed a lifetime of glory and wealth, but in order to protect the mistakes of the marquis, you made mistakes step by step! Now that the emperor knows what you have done, do you still want to continue to be obsessed? ”
"Shut up!" The eldest princess's cheeks were red and hot, and she was embarrassed and angry, her face was hideous, and she roared sharply: "This palace has not, and she has never done anything hurtful to the heavens and reason!" You dog slave, don't chew your tongue in front of the emperor! ”
After shouting these words, the eldest princess gasped for breath, and her eyes were so big that they seemed to bulge out at any time.
The maid sobbed a few times, knelt on the ground and wiped her tears vigorously, her body still trembling slightly, and she didn't argue with the eldest princess again.
Seeing this, the emperor cleared his throat and spoke, "Eldest sister, you are tired, go back and rest first." ”
"No!" The eldest princess screamed miserably, turned to face the emperor, and looked excited: "Your Majesty, don't listen to the words of this dog slave and wronged me!" Hongu has never done anything like this! ”
She could have put all these faults on the maid, but she never expected that this maid was still alive and well, and she shook out the truth, how could she rest in peace!
She can't get out of here, absolutely not! She also has to control the overall situation and make the emperor listen to her words!
"Your Majesty, I think this maid's words are somewhat credible, after all, Lu Guogong said so at the beginning, and that's right." Jiang Qiming ignored the eldest princess who had lost her temper, but continued to discuss this matter with the emperor.
Seeing this, the eldest princess became more and more crazy, she stomped her feet like a shrew and screamed, "Jiang Qiming, you shut up in this palace!" It's all because of you, it's all because of you! ”
The emperor frowned, "Come on, take the eldest princess down to rest." ”
When a few subordinates hung their heads and pressed down the eldest princess, and were about to take people down, the emperor said in a low voice: "The eldest princess is sick, find a doctor to take a look at her, in order to let the eldest princess recuperate with peace of mind, no one is allowed to visit at will in the future without my permission." ”
At the end, another sentence was added: "Including the little marquis." ”
As soon as these words came out, the eldest princess, who was originally tense, suddenly deflated, as if her bones had been pulled away suddenly, and she immediately collapsed.
The emperor's move is to put himself under house arrest!
Fortunately, the people who supported the eldest princess were all strong mothers-in-law, even though the eldest princess had no strength, they did not let the eldest princess completely collapse to the ground, but quickly pulled people down.
Although this is the eldest princess's mansion, the emperor is here now, and he doesn't have to listen to him.
took away the eldest princess, but the emperor was still sitting in his position, with no intention of leaving, as if he was waiting for someone, Jiang Qiming secretly guessed in his heart.
Sure enough, after a while, Chen Hu came in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door and didn't speak, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and when he looked up, tears came out, "Your Majesty, all the mistakes are my fault!" This matter has nothing to do with my mother, she is your own sister, you should never treat her like this! ”
Although the eldest princess and the emperor are very doting and indulgent on him on weekdays, but at this time, the emperor directly put the eldest princess, his own sister, under house arrest, even though Chen Hu is greedy for wine, but he is not stupid, he knows that once he loses the protection of the eldest princess, the emperor's favor will soon dissipate, and he must stop all this from happening!
"Chen Hu, what should I do, I don't need you to talk too much." The emperor's face was gloomy, and his speech was also heavy, although he did not get up and accuse loudly, but such an attitude was even more frightening.
Rao is Chen Hu, who has always been lawless, was also so frightened that he shook his body, but although he was afraid, Chen Hu still stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to learn and am greedy for wine, but I also know what filial piety is!" When the Queen Mother died, she asked you to take more care of my mother, but now? You listened to this minion and put your own sister under house arrest! Are you worthy of the Queen Mother by doing this? ”
In normal times, the emperor would have taken the case a long time ago, but now, he just looked at Chen Hu fixedly, and there was no extra emotion in his eyes, he said calmly, extremely calm: "Chen Hu, are you tired of doing crookedly?" ”
Chen Hu was so frightened that he fell to the ground, shaking like chaff.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor said: "In the past, how you messed around, how your mother protected you, I know it clearly, but for the sake of the royal face, and I am afraid that what you have done is not a big mistake, so I have tolerated you again and again, but now? You deliberately framed the courtiers in an attempt to accuse me of abusing power for personal gain, tell me, how can I protect your mother? “
"No, it's not." At this time, Chen Hu still wanted to quibble: "My mother didn't, it was Lu Li who harmed me first!" Your Majesty, it was Lu Li and his wife who harmed me first! ”
The emperor sneered, "Hurt you? So why haven't you mentioned it before? Chen Hu, you are standing in front of me now, unscathed, even fatter than when you first returned to Beijing, you still have the face to say that Lu Li and the Su clan harmed you? It can be seen that I have spoiled you so much over the years that you don't blush when you lie now, and you have learned to bully the king! ”
After speaking, the emperor summoned the guards and ordered with a cold face: "Take it down!" ”
Chen Hu was carried down in a daze, and the room soon returned to quiet.
"Your Majesty, you are tired for a day, and it is time to rest." Jiang Qiming arched his hand, "The rest of the matter can be handed over to Fu Yin for interrogation." ”
The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, said a light "um", and then got up, "Go back to the palace." ”
A group of people knelt to see the emperor away, until the other party's back became smaller and smaller and disappeared completely, and the people in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Qiming got up and returned to his previous indifferent and detached appearance, "Lord Fu Yin, this maid is bothering you to take it back, what to do, you should be clear, right?" ”
Fu Yin nodded again and again, "Xia Guan understands in his heart. ”
A farce finally came to an end, Jiang Qiming sighed, and was silent for a long time after getting into the carriage, secretly thinking about what happened today, only feeling that all this was too ridiculous and ridiculous.
"Go to Lu Mansion."
After instructing the coachman, Jiang Qiming leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes, and the whole person relaxed.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Lu Mansion. Jiang Qiming got out of the carriage and walked straight to the inner courtyard of the Lu Mansion.
As soon as the people waiting for news in the Lu Mansion saw Jiang Qiming coming, they all stood up, Lu Li and Wei Xiuyuan greeted them as soon as possible, Wei Xiuyuan's anxious temper didn't wait for the other party to sit down, so he asked anxiously: "Lord Jiang, how is it, how did the emperor deal with it?" ”
"The emperor put the eldest princess under house arrest, and specially ordered that the Hou Ye should not be allowed to visit." Jiang Qiming sat down, took a sip of tea out of sight, and continued: "The maid has been found, and she is sealed in the dark room of Chen Hu's bedroom, if we go late, I'm afraid the maid will have suffocated to death." ”
"Sealed in a dark room?!" Xiao Man's eyes were round, and he couldn't believe it, "Who came up with this method, it's too cruel!" ”
Besides, this maid has done so many things for them, and if she doesn't reward her, she will kill her!
Looking at Xiao Man's shocked appearance, Jiang Qiming said: "The eldest princess is afraid that this maid will leak her mouth, so she is sealed in the dark room in the name of reward, from these means it is enough to see how bold the eldest princess has been over the years, and the emperor punished her, in fact, it is not only because of this one thing." ”
"The maid was handed over to Fu Yin for interrogation, and the eldest princess was also placed under house arrest, although Chen Hu seems to have nothing to do with this matter, but without the eldest princess, he can't be arrogant for a few days."
The matter had been resolved smoothly, but Lu Li was still frowning, looking worried.
This time it was solved without a hitch, but what about next time? Can you still hope that the emperor can always believe in himself?
As if seeing Lu Li's worries, Xiao Man also sighed lightly, his face full of sorrow.
"It's not too early, Jiang will leave first." Jiang Qiming was also tired for a day, and he was not in good health at this time, his face was a little pale, and he looked very weak.
Seeing this, Wei Xiu also said goodbye and took Xia Wanrou back to the Wei Mansion.
Soon, the people in the main hall gradually left, Su Qi was also tired and went back to rest, only the husband and wife and a few maids were left in the house, because no one spoke, the room was quiet and very quiet.
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Manhu, who was leaning on Lu Li's arms, opened his mouth suddenly, and his voice was extremely soft: "Lu Li, it's really good that you can be okay this time." “
No one thought that this time it would be so complicated, Lu Li and Jiang Qiming sensed the danger at the beginning, but what could this be? They still fell into the trap that the eldest princess had designed a long time ago, if it weren't for Jiang Qiming to make peace with him, I'm afraid the emperor would have already sentenced Lu Li at this time.
"Xiaoman, I think we may not be able to wait for Wangshu to grow up." Lu Li smiled lightly, but it was full of bitterness, "Tomorrow I will enter the palace to ask the emperor to remove my position, and concentrate on taking care of you in the mansion in the future, or help you take care of the shop, and when Wangshu is a little older, we will go out to play, take Wangshu to see the famous mountains and rivers, and no longer suffer in this Beijing, okay?" ”
Xiao Man hugged Lu Li's waist tightly, gently rubbed on the other party's chest, and responded softly: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
