Chapter 18: If she wants to run, let her run
"The emperor lost his manners, what kind of system did he become!" Yao Guifei scolded, "Come on, give me-"
"Wait!" Emperor Cheng said, looking at the palace maid, "What did you just say?"
As soon as the palace maid's legs trembled, she knelt down, "Hui, back to Your Majesty, the deputy commander brought back, the corpse in the middle, the slave and maid know, it is Xiaofuzi, the godson recognized by Liu Gong next to the eldest princess!"
"Do you see clearly?"
The palace maid's face turned pale, and she pressed her head lower, "Slave maid, slave maid see clearly." ”
"Think clearly!" Yao Guifei said in a deep voice, "Do you mean that the eldest princess has cultivated her own power to help her escape? Who gave you the audacity to dare to slander the eldest princess?!"
"Concubine!" Emperor Cheng sighed in a deep voice.
Yao Guifei immediately stopped talking.
However, the following has already been discussed.
Even if some people guessed like this at the beginning, they didn't dare to say it, but now they are said by Yao Guifei, as if it is an established fact that the eldest princess took the initiative to escape.
Luo Changtian's deep eyes glanced at Yao Guifei, who seemed to be just unintentional, and said, "What does Your Majesty think of my proposal just now?"
What is the proposal? Naturally, it is a proposal to marry Princess Mingyu, he is determined today, no matter what the outcome of Ah Lan is, he will marry Princess Mingyu.
Emperor Cheng glanced at him with a heavy gaze and shouted, "Wang Quan." ”
The prince immediately stepped forward, "The slave is here." ”
Emperor Cheng said: "Go and see." He gestured to the corpse below.
The prince walked straight to the corpse identified by the palace maid, and with just one glance, he almost couldn't help but change his face.
That is indeed Liu Anzhi's godson, a little eunuch named Xiaofuzi.
The princess's face was impassive, and he was about to deny it, but Yao Guifei suddenly knelt down in front of Emperor Cheng and said: "Your Majesty! The concubine begs you, just let the eldest princess go! This family affair was originally not her business, it was Mingyu's sudden illness that allowed her to marry in place of her sister, if the concubine knew that the eldest princess was unwilling, she would not agree to this practice anyway! Now that Mingyu has been healed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not willing to give up Mingyu, it is better to let everything get back on track, and let the eldest princess run! If Your Majesty is worried about her, as long as the news of Mingyu's marriage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is released later, she will definitely come back obediently!"
"Concubine!" Emperor Cheng shouted, the anger in his voice could barely be concealed.
There was a dead silence all around.
In this matter, whether the eldest princess ran away or whether she took the initiative to escape is a very critical point, if she admits it, she will have no confidence at all when she negotiates with Luo Changtian, so the ministers of the Sui State desperately deny it.
- Even if Ah Lan really took the initiative to escape, before there is conclusive evidence, he can't say whatever he wants?!
But I didn't expect Yao Guifei to come to such a show!
What did she mean by this? Not only did she directly convict Ah Lan, but she also pushed Princess Mingyu out with her own hands!
She is the biological mother of Princess Mingyu, and she is also Emperor Cheng's favorite woman, and others dare not listen to her words as jokes!
And unlike the stiff faces of the ministers of the Sui State, Luo Changtian almost laughed, he didn't seem to have made any moves, someone took the initiative to help him.
"I think what the noble concubine said is very reasonable," he said, "I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"
Although things have come to this point, it is not without room for turnaround, but thinking of Luo Changtian's temperament, if he really annoys him, the truce agreement that was hard-won may be invalidated.
Emperor Cheng closed his eyes and spoke-
