Chapter 169: One more point for a witty teammate
Jiang Weimian is nowhere to be found, Jiang Cailing didn't take it to heart, the dignified Kunlun Lord can't die wherever he is placed. Jiang Cailing changed into palace clothes, and looked at the woman with a dignified face in the bronze mirror, and her mood became more complicated.
This matter was out of her plan, if she didn't guess wrong, Emperor Chu would call Xie Cheng over in addition to summoning the three people involved.
It was she who was too confident in herself, firmly believing that after the fall of the Wang family, the Chu Emperor would quickly support the Wu family to ascend to the throne, but she forgot that the Chu Emperor would take the opportunity to pull out the foundation of Xie Hou together.
Today, above the court, there is no room for carelessness at all.
Pedaling a pair of embroidered shoes, Jiang Cailing hid her thoughts in her eyebrows, slowly got into the carriage, lifted the curtain, but found that there were already people sitting in the carriage.
Dressed in a silver-white royal robe, the chest is embroidered with a silver python, inlaid with two bright beads, the sun shines through and shines on the clothes, and the gold and silver threads and pearls are shining brightly.
The face of the owner of the clothes is slightly more colorful than the brilliance of the clothes, the eyes of the contours are like peach blossoms gently closed, and the sun dances movingly on each eyelash.
Jiang Cailing frowned slightly, turned around and asked the housekeeper to prepare another carriage.
"Come back." Her wrist was clasped by a warm, dry palm, obviously controlled by force, and it didn't hurt her, but she couldn't break free.
Su Qingcheng said to the coachman in a deep voice, "Let's go." ”
With the sudden operation of the carriage, Jiang Cailing had not yet sat down, and was unstable and almost fell, Su Qingcheng saw this and put away his strength to take Jiang Cailing into his arms.
Jiang Cailing frowned, waved away Su Qingcheng's hand, kicked the ground hard under her feet, and sat firmly away from Su Qingcheng.
Jiang Cailing didn't say a word, her eyes stared at a pot of flower arrangements on the table as if she was out of focus, as if she was thinking about something seriously.
The carriage was so quiet that Su Qingcheng felt suffocated, and said in a deep voice, "Just now I didn't choose what to say and said the wrong thing, don't forget to take it personally." ”
"No, I was wrong."
The fluttering five words slowly flowed out of Jiang Cailing's mouth, Su Qingcheng couldn't help but look up, and just looked into Jiang Cailing's deep eyes like an ancient well, without the slightest gesture of admitting mistakes, nor was it estimated that he would raise the bar and talk back, there was no sadness or joy in his eyes, and he was terrifyingly alienated.
"The fault is that I shouldn't treat you as a friend."
Hearing this, Su Qingcheng was shocked.
Jiang Cailing continued, "Pay attention to your words and deeds for a while, even if you hate me to the extreme in your heart, you must show that you believe in me very much, and you can't let Emperor Chu find out the slightest clue." ”
"I didn't ......" Su Qingcheng wanted to explain, but was interrupted by the coachman, "Your Highness, Niangniang, it's time to get out of the car." ”
Once the dismount monument is passed, speech cannot be free, and Su Qingcheng can only swallow the words of explanation to his lips.
The two of them walked side by side to the Baichuan Palace, and the totem reliefs on the walls were the same as when they first came to the Chu Palace.
Emperor Chu and Empress Chu sat on a high position with serious expressions, as if a god was judging mortals. And under the high platform stood the prince and the princess of the East Palace, looking at this posture, they should be here to sing white faces.
On the other side, there were several old ministers of the court, all of whom were high-ranking and powerful people, like witnesses to this matter, Jiang Cailing's heart tightened, and she faintly felt that today's matter was not so simple.
At the same time, a man in a red court robe knelt in the center of the main hall, his stooping body making him look extremely small.
It's Xie Cheng.
"Father!"
This voice seemed to come from He Ling'er's own voice, and she let out a cry from her heart, walked quickly to Xie Cheng's side, followed by Putong and knelt on the ground, her apricot eyes looked straight at Emperor Chu on the high position, "Long live Your Majesty, long live, the courtiers don't know what crime their father has committed?" ”
Emperor Chu's inverted triangular eyes hid a sharp light, and he said majestically, "Xie Cheng's goddaughter is not strict, and she insults the royal reputation. The ancients said, the son does not teach, the father's fault, Yunyang, you say that Xie Hou Ye is not a big crime! ”
"Your Majesty, Yunyang has the courage to ask, the queen mother is the mother of a country, and Your Majesty is naturally the father of a country. So if a country's courtiers commit crimes, the lighter ones are abducted and deceived, and the heavier ones are murder and arson, how should Your Majesty, as a father, deal with himself? ”
"Presumptuous!" Emperor Chu slapped the table angrily, "Xie Cheng, Xie Cheng, this is the good daughter you educated!" ”
Xie Cheng maintained a bowing posture, and replied with great pride: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise!" ”
"Xie Cheng!" Emperor Chu was a little more angry.
Seeing this, Su Qingcheng knelt down and said respectfully: "Father is angry, and the son believes that Yunyang will not do what the rumors say, and he also asks his father to investigate." ”
Empress Chu's makeup is still delicate and dignified, but because of the decline of the Wang family, her eyebrows and eyes showed a little tiredness, and her eyes were full of hatred when she looked at Jiang Cailing. The Wang family is in the current situation, all because of this woman!
Hiding the resentment in her heart, Empress Chu said with a pleasant face: "Your Majesty, according to the concubine, you still have to invite that Liu Minglou, just ask." ”
Su Wen that Liu An regards wealth as her life, she has already sent someone to arrange it, if he is willing to tell the truth, then gold, silver and jewelry must be indispensable to him.
After a while, Liu Minglou was escorted in, looking at the splendid Baichuan Palace, his mouth was always open, the golden arrow sleeves were tightly wrapped around his arms, and the exposed fingers were regularly playing with something.
Seeing this, a mocking look flashed in Empress Chu's eyes. At this time, he still had the heart to calculate the cost of building the main hall, and he really couldn't get out of the money eye.
Still, it was exactly what she wanted.
Under the scolding of the black-faced guards, Liu Minglou knelt on the ground and bowed to His Majesty. The look of seeing wealth was replaced by a panicked emotion, and the whole person began to tremble in hindsight.
The laugh lines at the end of Chu Hou's eyes deepened, very good, not only greedy for money but also a coward.
After Emperor Chu looked at Liu Minglou's body with sharp eyes, he asked in a calm voice, "Liu An, do you know the woman beside you?" ”
Liu Minglou turned his neck to the side, and replied with a slight stammer: "Hui, back to Your Majesty, this is the Ten Imperial Concubines, and the grass people know!" ”
"What's the relationship between the two of you?"
"Yes......" Liu Minglou's dark eyes couldn't help but look at Queen Chu, and then quickly lowered his head, "Niangniang and Caomin are fellow villagers, and they knew each other before, and now she is the tenth princess, and she also takes a little care of Caomin's business, and she always comes to Caomin here to gather on weekdays." ”
A married woman and a foreign man often get together, which is a bit too ambiguous. Jiang Cailing frowned slightly, and looked at Liu Minglou with a puzzled face.
Emperor Chu's face completely darkened, "Xie Yunyang, what else do you have to say!" As a princess and princess, I don't know how to teach my husband and children in the house, and meet foreign men outside all day long, are you worthy of my careful love for you? Zhao Yushi, the imperial concubine is moral, how should she be punished? ”
Yushi, who was standing on the side, stood up and said straightly: "Back to Your Majesty, the prince and concubine have done unethical things, and they have ruined the reputation of the Heavenly Family. ”
Su Qingcheng sighed in his heart, "Father and emperor can't listen to one-sided words, the sons and princesses have always been harmonious, Yunyang will never do such a thing." ”
Luan Wenzhi sighed softly, walked to Su Qingcheng's side, stretched out his hand to help him up, and persuaded: "Tenth brother, first there is Shuang'er testimony, first there is Liu An to prove that Xie Yunyang's misdeeds are already conclusive, even if you like her in your heart, you can't continue to be deceived by her!" ”
Liu Minglou was so frightened by this posture that he was about to pee his pants, and whispered like a mosquito, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is the housework of the Heavenly Family, can the grass people retire first?" ”
The upright Lord Yushi stood up again, "According to the law, Liu An should be guilty of the same crime as the Ten Imperial Concubines. ”
"What!" Liu Minglou was dumbfounded at that time, and crawled closer, "Queen Mother, why is this different in advance?" ”
Empress Chu didn't expect Liu Minglou to dare to involve her, her eyebrows and eyes were crossed, "Dare to make a fool of the people, and dare to frame this palace!" ”
Lord Yushi said again, "The great crime of bullying the king can be punished immediately!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Minglou whimpered, with a handful of snot and tears on his delicate little face, "Your Majesty, what the grass people said just now was true, and they didn't dare to deceive Your Majesty, but the grass people are really innocent with the princess!" ”
Indeed, just now he just said that the two often get together, and did not directly say that he and the princess have a relationship.
Luan Wenzhi frowned, and said to Emperor Chu, "Father, it stands to reason that this matter is the tenth brother's family matter, and the sons should not interfere, but they can't watch the tenth brother being kept in the dark by the villain." I don't know if I can let my son interrogate this person with a question. ”
Emperor Chu agreed, Luan Wenzhi walked in front of Liu Minglou, his eyes were sharp and seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, "You just said that the ten brothers and sisters often take care of your business because of the love of your fellow villagers, but there are many merchants in Nan'an City who are also from Luoyang, if it weren't for you and her private filthyness, why did she only take care of you?" ”
"That's because I ......" Liu Minglou suddenly fell silent, his Adam's apple moved up and down, but he couldn't say anything to explain.
Wu Xiaoyao, who was standing on one side, opened her red lips lightly, and her tone was mocking and proud, "I can't say it, Xiaoyao just thought that the tenth brother and sister had a domineering personality before, but she didn't expect to do such a big rebellious thing!" ”
Liu Minglou lowered his head and narrowed his eyes, the cunning in his eyes flashed, and when he raised his head again, his grape-like eyes were full of obscurity, and he bit his lip and was infinitely aggrieved, "Back to Your Majesty, the grass people are good Longyang, and they like men with strong figures, and it is impossible to have dirty things with the daughter's mother!" ”
"What?" The crowd was in an uproar.
"The reason why Niangniang takes care of the people's intentions is also because of this, just now the grass people were confused by the lure of gold and silver treasures, and they are really ashamed of the great kindness of Niangniang, in fact, the Ten Imperial Concubines Niangniang loves the Ten Highnesses wholeheartedly, and please Your Majesty to see!"
