Chapter 33: Leaving and Returning

Until he returned to the Jinluan Palace, Chu Nian was still immersed in his thoughts.

The queen was sick and retired early, and all the adults gave birthday gifts to the prince one after another, pleasing the emperor and making a show.

There are also daughters of official eunuchs who take this opportunity to show their talents in the name of gifts.

At the end of the song, everyone applauded, but the gauzy masked woman sat sideways with a pair of eyes, "I have long heard that the three ladies of the Chu family have seven exquisite hearts, I don't know what kind of gift the three ladies prepared for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today?" ”

Chu Nian came back to her senses, and the eyes of the entire hall had already fallen on her.

She was stunned, turned her eyes, and met the woman's slightly narrowed phoenix eyes.

Chu Nian frowned, and Liu Qi on the side explained in a low voice: "This is the Yuan Niang of the Mu family in Zhenyuan, what happened in the Hou Mansion of Zhenning a few days ago......"

Before, her grandfather and uncle were angry with her, and they played the impeachment of Chu Hezhou, which caused the Queen Mother to take the opportunity to suppress the king of the opposite sex, but the king of the opposite sex hated the Zhenning Hou Mansion very much, and this Zhenyuan Hou Mansion was one of the implicated in the Zhenning Hou Mansion.

After figuring out the whole story of being targeted, Chu Nian was not in a hurry or annoyed, but was worried that he would not have a chance.

I saw her stand up, holding a wine cup in her hand, and raised her glass to that Mu Yuanniang, "Thank you Mu Yuanniang for giving the courtiers this opportunity to give a gift in advance, and the courtiers will do it first as a respect." ”

The ministers and family members are suspicious, everyone can see that this Mu Yuanniang is taking the opportunity to provoke, what does it mean for Chu Sanniang to toast a glass of wine first?

Ming Xiu, who was originally stupid, flashed a gleam in his eyes.

"Please forgive your majesty." Chu Nian ignored the doubts of everyone present, "The rumors from the outside world are really false, but the courtiers don't have any gifts to get their hands on, but a few days ago I made friends with a sister with a different surname, that sister is good at all kinds of dance rhythms, and is willing to dance for the courtiers, but I ask His Royal Highness the Prince to smile and hope that His Majesty will approve it." ”

If a lady from a normal family seizes this opportunity, how can she push it to others?

Everyone present didn't expect that the three ladies of the Chu family would not play their cards according to common sense, and even the provocative Mu Yuanniang was a little overwhelmed, and for a while, the atmosphere fell into a very embarrassing situation.

After a while, the foolish prince smirked and clapped his hands and said, "Okay! There is a lively look! ”

On weekdays, this foolish prince only giggles and rarely speaks, but now when he spit out such a few words, he actually provoked Long Yan Dayue, and the emperor waved his hand immediately:

"Okay, that's right."

Chu Nian thanked him and waved slightly towards the entourage queue, and saw a woman dressed in a maid service walking out of the crowd.

She also covered her face with tulle, her exposed eyebrows were untouched, and her figure was too thin, and her maid's dress seemed to be on the trunk of a tree, and her cuffs hung empty.

There was a whisper from the ministers, "Who is this Chu Nian recruiting?" Look, it's not as good as herself! ”

"Who knows, she will use this man as a gift? The Zhenning Hou Mansion is too child's play! ”

Before the ministers' discussion fell, he heard a melodious flute sound, and it was Chu Nian who came on the stage in person and played the bamboo flute from behind the woman's side.

The woman lowered her eyes and fell to the ground, motionless.

Everyone was suspicious, suddenly, the sound of the flute changed from melodious and sad to loud and high-pitched, the woman raised her head, her eyes changed from godless to firm, and then jumped up, and the maid clothes on her body also fell to the ground, and the original wide maid clothes were wearing another close-fitting gauze under the clothes.

This gauze dress is transparent, and the woman's delicate figure is vividly expressed in an instant.

"It turned out that he was hiding such a hand!"

"Looking at it this way, this ordinary woman is also a lot more amazing!"

Between the sighs of the crowd, the flute turned melodious again, and the woman's dance steps also changed from sonorous and powerful to desolate and graceful.

The flute sound and dancing were combined, and everyone present was intoxicated, but there were three pairs of clear eyes, which fell tightly on the body of the flute.

A playful smile hung on the corner of the mouth of the originally stupid person at the moment, and between the seats, Liu Qi's gaze fell on Chu Nian's body fixedly.

"Nian'er ......"

At the same time, Shen Dui's gaze was also a little distracted.

The third lady of the Chu family, didn't she say that you can't learn anything? And how can this song be played? As far as he knows, this song is the former queen mother created "Leaving the Return", but also the song of the world, it is said that listening to this song, there is no person who is not aroused by lovesickness, but because of the strange style of the song, it is too difficult to play, few people can learn, the only one in the world who can play this song is only ......

Shen Du hung his head deeply, his face pale.

The last movement of the dancing woman fell, but the sound of the flute did not stop, and the woman suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the emperor.

The ministers withdrew from the ethereal dance, and the emperor at the top was looking at the woman kneeling on the ground with surprise on his face.

"What are you doing here?"

The woman raised her eyes, and there was no hint of grief in her eyes.

"I beg the emperor, all the adults present are the masters of the people!"

As soon as I saw this woman dancing, everyone was still unsatisfied, and the emperor couldn't help but be moved, so he lowered his eyes and said, "What grievances do you have?" ”

The flute sound has not stopped, accompanied by this mournful music, Wu Yuanniang cried in front of everyone present about Luo Shilang's crimes, and after listening to Wu Yuanniang's suffering, the kind-hearted female relatives present had already sympathized and wept, and even the head of Ming Xiu frowned without a trace.

The emperor was even more furious, "Such a thing happened in Beijing? Why don't I know at all? Where's Roach? ”

Chu Nian's flute stopped at the right time, and he returned to his seat, staring indifferently at everything in front of him, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Liu Qi stood beside her, and when he saw her return, he opened his mouth, but he still held back his voice.

"Your Majesty, my father is ill today, so I ......" It was the daughter of the Luo family who spoke, originally because she was fascinated by the story, but she didn't have time to stop it, but when she reacted, she didn't dare to speak, and when she saw that the emperor asked about her father, she had to stand up.

"Humph! Pass on Jingzhao Mansion Yin! Why didn't you report such a big grievance in the capital! ”

Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to happen, after all, this was the first time since the puppet emperor ascended the throne that he had made such a big fuss.

At this time, he saw the prime minister Wang Zixuan, who had disappeared inexplicably during the banquet, hurriedly came, followed by a few guards, and the escort was Luo Shilang, who was locked up in Jingzhao Mansion.

Luo Shilang got into a lot of trouble, and Jingzhao Mansion didn't go less, because he was the only son of the Luo family, and this Jinluan Palace didn't come less, but the first time he was escorted, and he was also frightened by this change.

He couldn't figure it out anyway, how could he be sent here when he was so happy in prison?

"Your Majesty, the ministers are too late to arrest the sinners, and I hope that the emperor will forgive the sins."

Wang Zixuan stood up and hugged his fists slightly, which was regarded as a salute to the emperor, and even turned sideways, several guards grabbed Luo Shilang and threw him on the ground.

The emperor seemed to be accustomed to Wang Zixuan's "etiquette", and just squinted at Luo Shilang, who was lying in front of His Royal Highness.

"Luo Jia Shilang, are you guilty?"

Luo Shilang saw Wu Yuanniang kneeling beside him, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, he knew early on that he had finally been stabbed in the court.

If he is only investigated by Jingzhao Mansion Yin, as long as the Luo family stops some benefits, he will be released sooner or later, but if it is known by the people in the court...... I just hope that my father can come to rescue him as soon as possible, otherwise, with the emperor's current anger, he can't keep this dog's head!

Just when Luo Shilang didn't know whether to answer the emperor's words, General Luo finally came in a hurry, but there was no trace of sickness on his bearded face, he was just a foolish prince's birthday, and he was too lazy to socialize, so he casually called himself sick and didn't come.

As soon as he arrived at the Jinluan Palace, General Luo glared at Luo Shilang with hatred of iron and steel, then knelt on the ground, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty, this case has not yet been tried by Jingzhao Mansion Yin, so don't listen to the one-sided words of that slut!" ”

The emperor opened his mouth, and Wang Zixuan had already squinted his eyes and spoke, "What does General Luo mean, is the trial of this prime minister unfair?" You connived at the rebels to burn, kill, and loot, and you have already found evidence! ”

Roach's face froze, "This...... Prime Minister ......"

What the hell is going on? He had already surrendered to the prime minister, and even helped to participate in a book when the Su family was destroyed, why did the prime minister have to target him?

"Someone, bring those two up!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw the two people who had been caught by the dark three or four that day staggering in, their faces numb, but they saw the emperor above, and their eyes lit up.

The two of them fell to their knees with a pop, "Your Majesty! Emperor! The grass people are guilty! Ask the emperor to give the grass people death! ”

Chu Nian was laughing playfully on the side, but Liu Qi didn't understand, "What did you do to them?" Why are they scared like this? ”

She didn't turn her head, but stared at the farce in the hall.

"I just fed some medicine for lying."

The farce in the hall seems to have reached its climax, and the two of them have already told everyone in front of everyone how Luo Shilang committed the crime, how General Luo sent people to murder the Wu family's parents, and how they cut off all the retreats of the Wu family's sisters and brothers, and forced people to the mountain village where birds don't, and so on, one by one, which made the emperor angry.

"General Luo, you are bold enough!"

"General Luo is an official who is not honest, conniving at the rebel son to oppress the people, and from now on he will be demoted to a commoner, Luo Shilang spoils women, about Jingzhao Mansion, he will be beheaded on a certain day!"

"Slow down, Your Majesty, the minister still has something to play." Wang Zixuan opened his mouth slowly, his eyes swept over Chu Nian and Liu Qi, and then looked at the emperor, "A few days ago, there was a tragedy in Beijing, and the minister sent General Liu to find out the case, and I am afraid that this matter is still related to General Luo." ”

A trace of unwillingness flashed in the emperor's eyes, but he concealed it well, and only turned his eyes to look at Liu Qi, "Liu Aiqing, what's going on?" ”

Liu Qi took a step forward, "Emperor Qiqi, it is a pawnshop in the west of the city, because the shopkeeper once offended Luo Shilang, and he knew Luo Shilang's criminal evidence, so General Luo sent someone to destroy the whole door." ”

Luo Qi was full of horror, but when he heard this, the whole person fell to the ground, and the old tears were all over the place.

Wang Zixuan narrowed his eyes, "Is there any evidence?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Qi arched his hand towards Wang Zixuan, and then looked at Chu Nian.

Chu Nian smiled lightly and bowed slightly, and immediately beckoned to the attendant camp behind him, and then saw a figure walk into the hall again.
