Chapter 241: Whitewashing the Peace
Xiaohuan's tongue was not so sharp, it hurt a little to speak at the moment, she nodded frantically after seeing the princess, and tears fell down: "Yes, it's me, princess, I'm not dead,"
"It's good that you didn't die, I thought I'd never see you again."
When the princess saw that it was really Xiaohuan, she hugged the person suddenly, she thought that her illness was not cured, and she was hallucinating, but when she saw the person, she knew that Xiaohuan was really not dead, but Xiaohuan's face was pale and terrible, and there was still a sick look on her face, and there were wounds on her face that were tortured in prison a few days ago, and those wounds had not yet healed.
The princess reluctantly touched her wound, and was reluctant to be afraid of hurting her, so she muttered again and again: "It's okay, don't be afraid, go back to Yanbei, I will use the best ointment for you, it won't leave a scar, Xiaohuan is still the most beautiful Xiaohuan,"
"Uh-huh."
Yan Jifeng saw that the master and servant were talking endlessly, and the emperor had some impatient expressions, but after all, he didn't have a seizure, and he was also a little surprised, didn't he say that Xiaohuan was dead? At this moment, why is that girl still alive in the main hall.
The emperor looked at Gong Xuanzheng with curiosity at this moment, and Gong Xuanzheng saw the emperor's inquiring gaze, lowered his head weakly, and arched his hand: "Erchen doesn't know what's going on, obviously the jailer came to report that this Xiaohuan had committed suicide in fear of crime." Erchen doesn't know how this person is here? ”
Gong Xuanzheng didn't rush to defend himself, but said that he didn't know, but it made Gong Xuanli a little surprised, he took a step forward and called Xiaohuan forward, at this moment, if the most flustered person in the entire hall is really not Gong Xuanzheng, but that Liu Feng, his back was already cold, cold sweat was dripping, his legs trembled and he almost couldn't stand on his knees, and he looked at the somewhat fierce King Yanbei and the ruthless Yan Jifeng with a sinister face in fear.
If they knew that it was they who had defiled the princess that day, they would probably have blood splattered on the spot.
At this moment, Xiaohuan and the princess walked past him with each other's arms, he trembled with fear, and tried his best to shrink his sense of existence, trying to make the whole hall forget his existence, but someone remembered him.
"Liu Feng? Say, "Where and when did you see me?" ”
Xiaohuan's tongue is not very good, although his speech is not clear, but the meaning is expressed, and he was coldly mentioned, Liu Feng was frightened, and then he thought about it: "On the afternoon of that day, in front of the door of Nalan Vanilla's room." ”
"Oh? What was I wearing at that time? What exactly time did you tell you? ”
"I wear it, and I wear it"
He hesitated for a long time, and then seemed to be in a hurry, and said quickly: "It's been a few days, how can you remember what clothes you are wearing." I think it's just a normal thing, how can I remember the specific time. ”
"So you just don't know?"
"I, I"
This Liu Feng couldn't say a specific thing for a long time, Gong Xuanli looked at him indifferently, and his tone was even colder: "This person doesn't speak before and after, it seems that he can't tell the truth without suffering from some flesh and skin, come on, take off his shirt, beat him with 20 whips, and see if this person still tells the truth." ”
Gong Xuanli didn't really want to hit this person, but wanted to show the scratches on this person's back, only two people knew what happened that day, that is, the parties Liu Feng and Yan Xiyun, Yan Xuanli naturally knew that the person's back was scratched by himself A lot of scars came out, Gong Xuanli believed that as long as this Yan Xuanyun saw the scars on the back of this person's body, she would know who the person who raped her that day was.
As soon as he heard that he was going to pick up his clothes, Liu Feng immediately became anxious, seeing that the Imperial Forest Army with a leather whip had come forward, his hands were dancing in a hurry, he couldn't really ask someone to pick up his clothes, and then everything would be over, so he hurriedly said: "I said, I said." ”
Gong Xuanzheng glared at him warningly, and his tone was cold: "If you are in front of today, you have to be cautious, if you have an accident yourself, don't say anything that shouldn't be said, not only will you deceive the saint, but you will also affect your family relatives in Jiangnan, and even more seriously, it will destroy the friendly relationship between Yanbei and Dashun Kingdom, these are not things you can afford." ”
"Yes, yes. I, I'll tell you everything I know."
As soon as these words came out, no one in the hall spoke anymore, waiting for this Liu Feng to speak.
Liu Feng's eyes rolled and he thought for a while, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Really, I heard movement in the room of Nalan Vanilla that day, and wanted to go in to have a look, but Xiaohuan stopped me and didn't want me to go in." This matter can also be testified to, and my two house slaves can testify. ”
Gong Xuanli looked at him in surprise, is this person really not afraid that he will be stripped of his clothes, and if the scratches are shown, everything will be settled.
Before he had time to think about why, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the emperor on the high throne and breathed a sigh of relief, originally the emperor's eyebrows were very anxious, but when he heard this, he instantly relaxed a lot.
Why?
Gong Xuanli said that he didn't understand, but Gong Xuanzheng did.
Gong Xuanzheng laughed in his heart at the moment, this Gong Xuanli only wanted the truth, but he didn't know how to judge the situation, the emperor obviously didn't want the blame for this matter to be in Da Shunguo, and he had only turned a blind eye for so long, so he had allowed that Xiaohuan to be killed before.
"Someone came, and he stripped him of his clothes and tortured him."
"Wait."
Before Gong Xuanzheng could open his mouth to stop it, the emperor opened his mouth coldly, the perennial Long Wei was still there, and the words were loud, he had watched the play on it for so long, how could he not know that this Liu Feng was weird, the emperor looked at Gong Xuanli with cold eyes, and then asked like Xiaohuan: "You are the maid that day?" ”
Seeing this, Gong Xuanli twisted his eyebrows and clenched his back molars, how could he not see that his father was favoring Gong Xuanzheng.
That's not a good situation!!
"Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid is the princess's personal maid."
"Then I ask you, where were you when the princess had an accident?"
"I, I'm waiting for the princess in the room where she is staying."
"You are the princess's personal attendant, why don't you follow and wait, but hide in the room and wait? Let's not talk about this for the time being, but can there be any proof that you are waiting for the princess in the room? ”
As soon as the emperor asked, the palace was instantly silent, Xiaohuan really had no certificate to prove that she was waiting for the princess in the room at the time, she was anxiously waiting, and when she found out that the princess might have an accident, it was too late, and when she went to find the princess, the princess had been ruined.
"Nope."
"Then you may be lying, and now there are two people saying that they have seen you, what are you arguing about, and I heard your princess say at the time that the princess did not return to the temple in advance, and you persuaded her to go back, right?"
"Yes,"
The emperor also came from a young age, and his ability to solve cases with one hand is not low, and he has experienced many intrigues and tricks in the harem, and a pair of eyes have been exercised like Sun Wukong's fiery eyes.
"And what is your motive?"
"I, I don't have any motive, I can't want to harm the princess, princess, you believe me, I really didn't gang up with outsiders to harm you."
Xiaohuan was a little confused by a series of questions from the emperor, and there was a feeling of being led by the nose, as if he really had some motive.
The princess was ready to squat down and help up the pitiful little ring that was kneeling on the ground, but Yan Jifeng pulled Yan Xiyun back, he and Gong Xuanli saw that the emperor was bent on blaming Yanbei for this responsibility, and now the three of them are alone in Dashun Kingdom, if there is really any conflict, they are at an absolute disadvantage, everything is not important, saving their lives is the most important.
In this case, the situation is much more important than the truth.
If you are bent on pursuing it, the emperor's face is estimated to be even worse, this is not their territory after all, if the emperor is suspicious and wants someone to stay in the capital of the Great Shun Kingdom as a hostage, it is the biggest worthless.
He has been in the capital for so many years, how can he not know how important the emperor above this high position is to defend people.
So at this moment, it is better to think that Xiaohuan has a problem, and go down the steps of the emperor, if the emperor still proposes to keep people here as hostages under such a premise, then it is impossible to say, so that as soon as this matter is over, the three of them can go back to Yanbei unharmed.
So at this moment, he pulled Yan Xiyun and reproached: "Your Majesty is talking to your father, how can you intervene, you stand in the back for me." ”
Yan Xiyun didn't know what her brother was thinking in her head at all, she felt that it was impossible for Xiaohuan to do this, there must be something unknown hidden in it, she looked at Liu Feng with suspicion, it was this Liu Feng who saw Xiaohuan guarding outside the door, her eyes were half-narrowed, and she walked towards Liu Feng quickly.
But only halfway through, Yan Jifeng stretched out his hand to stop her, pulled her to his side, and whispered in her ear: "If you don't want Xiaohuan to die, don't talk anymore." ”
Yan Xiyun frowned when she heard this, and she didn't understand it very much, but she felt that it was good to listen to her brother's words, so she stopped walking towards Liu Feng's side, and just glared at him viciously.
Yan Jifeng stepped forward at this moment, arched his hand to the emperor and said: "We blamed His Majesty the Emperor for this matter, and I hope Your Majesty will be magnanimous." But even though this matter is wrong on our little maid in Yanbei, how to deal with this, please leave it to the emperor and let us Yanbei people deal with it ourselves. ”
When the emperor heard this, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, everyone here is a smart person, the situation is always more important than the truth, King Yanbei and Yan Jifeng already knew what would happen in the hall today from last night when they knew that Xiaohuan was not dead, so the prince of Yanbei did not refute, but the anger in his heart was getting higher and higher, looking at the emperor's face whitewashed and disguised as peaceful, he couldn't wait to throw off his robe and leave on the spot.
