Chapter 70: The Cauldron Descends from the Sky
"Ahem......"
Jingyi's face was full of panic, but she seemed to be pretending to be calm again, and stammered: "Ah, this princess, this princess thinks that the moon is very good tonight, so I want to walk around!" ”
Although the guard at the head felt a little surprised, he looked up and saw that the sky was indeed full of stars and beautiful, so he had no choice but to suppress his suspicions in his heart, and arched his hand at Jingyi: "Since the princess has such a Yaxing, the slave will not bother, and ......will retire first."
After saying that, he waved his hand to his subordinates, and the group of patrolling guards seemed to be about to leave.
"Hey, you guys, how can you be so derelict in your duties?"
Jingyi was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her to be so obvious, why can't these stupid people understand at all?
At the moment, he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly drank a word, and the guards' footsteps really stopped.
"What does the princess mean by that?"
The leader frowned and looked at Jingyi with some puzzlement.
"Ahem, what, what's your name?"
Jingyi's face stiffened, and she asked casually.
"Back to the princess, the slave Shen Qing is the captain of the guard, and it is the turn of the slave to be on duty with this group of brothers under him tonight......"
Shen Qing arched his hand, but he didn't hide it: "I don't know what else the princess has to order?" ”
"Ah, that ......"
Jingyi hesitated, gritted her teeth, and said to Shen Qing: "This princess just wanted to enter Quyu Pavilion, but suddenly she seemed to see a figure inside, but maybe I was dazzled......
"Figures?"
Shen Qing's heart sank, and he hurriedly said, "The princess is not frightened, right?" Now that the princess has seen the figure, whether the person is still there or not, she has to investigate it thoroughly! ”
As soon as he said this, Shen Qing waved his hand to the people under his hand and shouted: "A few of you stay here to protect the princess, and the others, take the lantern and follow me in!" I'd like to see who dares to sneak around here in the middle of the night! ”
"Ah, no, you don't have to be so excited, maybe I'm dazzled......"
Although Jing Yi was happy in her heart, she still didn't dare to show it on her face, but this tangled expression made Shen Qing feel that there must be a secret hidden in this Qu Qi Pavilion!
At the moment, I don't care about Jingyi, I just take someone and I want to break in.
"Shen Guard, you can't go in!"
Jingyi shouted at the top of her voice, but she didn't think about it, but it alarmed more people, and the guards patrolling not far away also rushed over when they heard that there was movement here, and for a while, it was rare to be lively outside Qu Qi Pavilion!
But the thing in the world is called "no coincidence is not a book", Qu Yu Pavilion was jubilant, and he never thought that he would really disturb Chu Aotian, who was admiring the moon in the imperial garden.
"What's going on over there?"
Chu Aotian put down his wine glass, and a trace of obvious displeasure flashed on his face.
The little eunuch who had already had the vision of the world retreated to investigate, and after a while, he respectfully stepped forward and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, I heard that there was a thief in the Qu Qi Pavilion, and it seems that the thief also scared Princess Jingyi, and now the guards are checking there......
"Jingyi?"
Chu Aotian frowned: "It's not good to stay in her Jade and Palace this big night, what are you doing when you come to Qu Yu Pavilion?" ”
The little eunuchs didn't dare to take a stubble, so they could only keep their heads down and not say a word.
After thinking for a while, Chu Aotian patted his leg and stood up: "Let's go, let's go over and take a look!" ”
"Your Majesty, ......"
The big eunuch next to Chu Aotian hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, now what you are talking about is that there is a thief in the Qu Qi Pavilion, what if the thief has a bad intention?" The slave is foolish, you better hurry up and drive back to the Long'an Palace! ”
"Bastard!"
Chu Aotian's eyes widened, and a kind of majesty was naturally revealed on his body, which made all the eunuchs and palace maids who followed him kneel: "This palace is my palace!" There was a thief in the palace, that is my family was robbed, as the master, how can I be afraid of those little thieves?! Swing the Qu Qi Pavilion! ”
With a loud shout, Chu Aotian hurriedly walked in the direction of Qu Qi Pavilion.
Everyone couldn't do it, so they just waited to hurry up and follow.
"The emperor drove to ......"
A long shout startled everyone in the Qu Qi Pavilion.
Chu Aotian's brows were furrowed so much that he could almost kill a fly, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Ning Xiuhan's body, which had been restrained by the guards!
"Ning Aiqing, now that it's past the end of the day, why are you in the palace?!"
Chu Aotian's face was pale, even though it was in this inky night, he could still feel the thick cold air emanating from his body.
"The emperor, the minister, the minister......"
Originally, Ning Xiuhan was already frightened enough in his heart, but he didn't expect to be caught by the emperor, but he couldn't explain it, and for a while Ning Xiuhan even wanted to die.
"In the middle of the night, you came to my harem alone, Ning Aiqing, okay, you are really bold!"
The voice suddenly sharpened, Ning Xiuhan was excited, only to feel a chill from the heavenly spirit cover to the soles of his feet, "plop" kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth and said: "Back to the emperor, although the minister's behavior is inappropriate, but this is clearly someone deliberately arranged to frame Wei Chen, begging the emperor to see!" ”
"Bastard!"
Chu Aotian was suddenly furious: "The inner courtyard of the Deep Palace, you actually said that you would break in?!" If you don't put your mind to it, can someone tie you up?! Even now, I still dare to quibble, Ning Xiuhan, you don't have to rely on a little talent to learn, I will tolerate you in every way! Now that you have committed such a great rebellious crime, if you don't punish it severely, what country and what family will I rule in the future?! ”
With a heavy snort, Chu Aotian raised his hand and shouted loudly to the guards beside him: "Come on, push Ning Xiuhan out and take off his head!" ”
"Yes!"
Shen Qing's heart froze, and he shouted, and hurriedly wanted to lead someone to act, but he didn't want to be at this moment, Princess Jingyi, who had been silent on the side, suddenly rushed out, knelt in front of Chu Aotian and begged loudly: "Ask Father Emperor Mingjian, this matter is not about Ning, Lord Ning's affairs, they are, someone framed Lord Ning!" ”
"Jingyi?"
Chu Aotian looked at Jingyi with a suspicious expression, and suddenly thought of Jingyi's matter, so he asked in a deep voice, "Why are you here?" Don't say that you see the moonlight is good, come out and take a walk! ”
"Forehead ......"
The words he wanted to say were suddenly blocked in his throat, and a touch of embarrassment immediately flashed on Jingyi's face, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Hui, back to my father's words, Jingyi, Jingyi was also led here, and I don't want Ning Ren to be the same, so Jingyi thinks that this is a deliberately set up bureau by someone, just to make my father think that Jingyi and Lord Ning are privately taught and accepted, so as to ruin the reputation of the two of us, so as to provoke the disgust of my father!" ”
"Oh?"
Chu Aotian looked at Jing Yi, who was kneeling in front of him, gritting his teeth, and then looked at Ning Xiuhan, who was kneeling on the side, but with an unyielding face, his heart also sank, and he said in a deep voice: "You guys get up first, and come in with me!" ”
After speaking, he strode into Quyu Pavilion.
Jing Yi and Ning Xiuhan glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of heaviness in each other's eyes.
Got rid of the guards, leaving only a few eunuchs to serve beside him, and at this time, the palace maid Zijuan beside Jingyi also chased in in a panic: "Princess, you really came to Quqi Pavilion...... Emperor? Ning-sama? ”
After a pause, a touch of surprise flashed on Zijuan's face, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chu Aotian: "Slave and maid to the emperor to say goodbye, long live the emperor!" ”
"Get up!"
Chu Aotian stared at Zijuan with some suspicion: "You are the palace maid who serves Jingyi?" ”
"Return, if you go back to the emperor, the slave maid is called Zijuan, and she is Princess Jingyi's personal palace maid......"
Zijuan replied with trepidation.
"Then tell me, why did your princess appear here in the middle of the night? Also, why didn't you follow and let your princess come out alone? ”
Chu Aotian's eyes stared at Zijuan, Zijuan trembled, and was immediately overwhelmed by Chu Aotian's dragon power.
"Back to the emperor's words......"
Thinking of Ning Xiuhan on the side, Zijuan gritted his teeth and said stiffly: "Tonight, someone from Limo Palace suddenly came to pass the word, saying that Princess Jingyuan had some private things and wanted to talk to Princess Jingyi, so she made an appointment to meet in Quyu Pavilion tonight...... The slave maid originally felt that this matter was very strange, if Princess Jingyuan wanted to talk to our princess, why didn't she come to Yuhe Palace in person, but instead came to Quyu Pavilion in the middle of the night? Therefore, the slave persuaded Princess Jingyi, you might as well wait for tomorrow, the princess will go to Limo Palace to find Princess Jingyuan in person, but I never thought that our princess was really kind-hearted, and I was worried that Princess Jingyuan had been waiting here, so I came here without telling the slaves and maids......"
After finishing this long list of words in one breath, Zijuan said with a bitter face: "The slave maid also found out that the princess was not in the dormitory when she was changing tea for the princess......
"Bastard!"
Patiently listened to Zijuan's words, but he never thought that Chu Aotian slapped the table and reprimanded loudly: "Cheap maid, you dare to climb the princess at will, I see that you are impatient!" ”
"Your Majesty!"
Zijuan was so frightened that she trembled like chaff, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to let go: "The slave and maid are true, if the emperor doesn't believe it, you can ask our princess!" ”
"Father!"
Jingyi suddenly knelt at Chu Aotian's feet, hugged yesterday's leg with her hand and cried loudly: "Even if my father is eccentric and wants to protect the eldest emperor's sister, he can't be so wronged by Jingyi!" It's Guan Jingyi's reputation, and please ask your father to see it! ”
Ning Xiuhan, who was on the side, also knelt on the ground at this time, kowtowed heavily, and then took out a note from his sleeve, held it high above his head, and respectfully presented it in front of Chu Aotian without saying a word.
Lai Bao Huiyi, hurriedly presented the note, and when Chu Aotian saw the handwriting on the note clearly, he was immediately furious!
"Someone! Hurry up and go to Limo Palace and announce Princess Jingyuan for questioning! ”
