Chapter 484: Loopholes
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yang Shu finally seized the opportunity to speak, "I was splashed with sewage, of course, I have to clear up my grievances." Holy! ”
The emperor said lightly: "Since Miss Wen San has no evidence, she has already explained your grievances, so there is no need to make a fuss." National Teacher! ”
"Holy!" Without waiting to change the topic, Mingwei shouted first, with a bit of stubbornness in her eyes, "The little girl knows that her status is low, and if she climbs into the royal family, she will bear more scrutiny than others." If you ignore it, not only the little girl will be wronged, His Royal Highness King Yue, and even the royal family will become the object of gossip in his mouth. Holy! ”
A good woman should be empathetic, and accept it when she sees it, Mingwei's behavior at this time, in the emperor's opinion, may not be unforgiving.
Such behavior is generally considered to be ignorant.
ran after a man before she was married, and she really couldn't be expected to be a virtuous woman.
The emperor was a little bored, and a little secretly happy, and wrinkled his brows and said, "Then what do you want?" ”
Everyone else had already heard the emperor's impatience, and among the several young ladies, some kindly quietly pushed Mingwei and signaled her not to work against the emperor.
How do you know that Mingwei didn't appreciate it at all, so she opened her mouth and said: "The little girl first won the first lottery, and then drew the phoenix lottery, relying on her own luck." It's really unwilling to let people splash sewage. Please also ask the Holy Lord to investigate thoroughly, the little girl can stand here today, and there is absolutely no fraud! ”
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Oh? Thorough investigation? Starting with the first round of draws? ”
"Yes." Mingwei said categorically, "Starting from the first round of draws." ”
The emperor was originally suspicious of her doing tricks in the first round, but now seeing her tough attitude, he hesitated.
Just drew the phoenix lot, it was Wen San's fool who sent the phoenix lottery to her by himself. But if she didn't do anything in the first round, where did she get her luck? The national teacher clearly said that her life is a life of no blessing.
The emperor was thinking about it, when Xuan Fei flipped through the head sign he had inspected when he entered the hall, his face was shocked, he stepped forward and lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt down.
"National teacher?" The emperor was confused by him.
The national teacher is not a mortal person, and he only bows to the saint. What's more, the etiquette of this dynasty is not strict, only major events will kneel, and the courtiers do not kneel in front of the saints on weekdays.
Xuan Fei suddenly made a big salute, is this a big deal?
"Poor Dao received the grace of God, presided over the Xuandu Temple, and worshiped as a national teacher. I don't want to even do this little thing well, please punish the saint. ”
The emperor looked at the tray in the hand of the Taoist priest guarding the temple through the screen, and slowly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xuan Fei signaled, and the Taoist priest who guarded the hall handed the tray in his hand to the inner servant, and he sent it to the emperor.
The emperor saw that there were more than a dozen sticks on it, which were the first ones drawn by the ladies earlier.
"Holy Lord, please look at the end of these thirteen heads."
The Emperor looked down and paused.
"All the lottery holders in the view are the same, and before the draw, before the lottery, cinnabar was dotted at the bottom of each lot, but one of them did not have cinnabar."
Wan Dabao turned the thirteen head sticks upside down one by one, and sure enough, twelve of them had cinnabar, and one did not.
Xuan Fei's voice came with a faint coldness: "In the Xuandu Temple, in front of the Holy Lord, the poor Dao was actually exploited by someone, and he really has no face to shirk, please punish the Holy Lord." ”
When the prince heard this, his heart jumped, and he had a bad premonition.
King Shin raised his eyebrows, completely unexpected.
Over there, King An couldn't hold back, and asked Yang Shu in a low voice, "You got it?" ”
Yang Shu's eyes flashed, and he muttered, "It shouldn't be!" No, definitely not! ”
It made King An puzzled.
How did he react? Is there or isn't? It stands to reason that there is one choice of ninety-nine and one choice of one hundred, and the probability of one of both is very small, and it is almost impossible to get a specific person to be selected without using his hands and feet......
King An thought so, and others thought the same way, and for a while, everyone's eyes were focused on Mingwei.
Yang Shu looked at it and jumped up: "No! We didn't cheat! ”
He shouted, but his eyes flickered.
Over there, Xuan Fei took the phoenix stick, and spoke again: "Saint, there is also a problem with this phoenix stick." ”
The emperor's face sank: "Present it!" ”
The chamberlain handed over the phoenix sign to him again, and after Wan Dabao inspected it, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please see, here ......"
A little below the head of the sign, there is a very small black dot. Because this black spot is very small, if you are not careful, most people will think it is wood grain.
Mixed in with the unmarked first lot, and then drew the phoenix lottery that made the hands and feet.
Before drawing the phoenix lot, draw a round, which is a method that was changed before. In a short period of time, it was actually exploited? If this person has bad faith towards the Holy Vehicle......
The emperor's face sank.
"National teacher."
"Yes."
"You really can't shirk it, but the punishment will be suppressed for the time being, and the truth will be found out first."
"Thank you."
Xuan Fei stood up again, turned his head and was about to instruct the Taoist priest guarding the temple, but when he heard a "plop" in his ear, someone knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, please Mingjian, this must be Ming Qi's hands and feet!" Think about it, how can there be such a coincidence in the world, His Royal Highness King Yue said that he wanted to marry her, she won the first lot, and then won the phoenix lottery, what luck this is, Your Majesty! ”
The person who spoke was none other than Wen Ying.
When Xuan Fei sent the thirteen head sticks, the sweat on her forehead came down.
Others don't know, she knows in her heart that the unmarked headpick is hers!
Then when it came to the phoenix sign, Wen Ying's heart doubled, and she immediately panicked.
If this is found out......
But the first thing everyone thought about was Mingwei, and the ladies around her also went to see Mingwei, and Wen Ying immediately grabbed the straw that saved her life.
That's right, this is a ready-made scapegoat, and if you don't preemptively strike now, when will you wait?
So she immediately knelt down.
Put all the blame on Mingwei!
Anyway, she so coincidentally drew the first lot, and then drew the phoenix lottery, she couldn't tell. Once she finds out that there is a problem, no one can take care of herself!
Wen Ying planned very well, and when she said this, others did believe it.
That Miss Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, you have already said that it is a fair lottery, if someone violates your will and secretly acts as a ghost, wouldn't it be a deception?" It's okay if we don't make the election, but your reputation must not be tarnished. ”
There were also a few unwilling young ladies who also echoed the voice.
The emperor's eyes flickered, and he was about to speak—
The crown prince stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice: "Father, don't do it!" ”
The concubine, who was about to speak, paused.
I heard the prince say: "This was originally our family affair, and it was a big deal to cancel today's concubine selection, just say that no one won the phoenix lot." If you check it out on a large scale, won't it make the world see the royal joke? ”
The Emperor paused.
That's just as well. He wanted to embarrass that kid, but he was afraid that his son would also be involved. Prince Bacheng also helped Wen Ying, if they were found out together, it would not be good.
I didn't know that the emperor hadn't spoken yet, and Xuan Fei had already called someone over.
He said: "Holy Lord, this is the mistake and omission of my Xuandu view, I must check it out and explain it to you." It's not hard to find out who did it. It was these disciples who were in charge of drawing lots outside. Each lottery, there is only one head, and they will recognize the winner! ”
