Chapter 428: Maintenance
The emperor glanced coldly at the heads of the families of these noble ladies, Wang Xianrong has long been away from the court, and today the husband and wife are not qualified to enter the palace to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, but the king of Nan'an County, the king of Dongping County and Shi Hou are all here today, and they are still kneeling there with quails at this time!
The emperor rolled his eyes at them with disdain in his heart, and then a cold voice sounded: "The old lady Wang, the mother of the Wang family, violated women's morality, deliberately spread rumors to ruin the reputation of Prince Eye and Lord Huigui, and took away her title of Mrs. Yipin, and beat the ten court staffs. Concubine Nan'an and Mrs. Shihou misbehaved and slandered the royal family, so that the two of them came to the door to apologize to the county lord of Huigui and were grounded for one year! The princess of Dongping County made something out of nothing and slandered the members of the royal family in public, and ordered her to slap her mouth fifty and immediately execute it to set an example! ”
The only people of the Wang family present now are Wang Xianrong's eldest son, who is currently the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, working under Lin Ruhai's uncle Shen Guangyi. The emperor's will, no matter how unwilling and annoyed he is, he must respectfully step forward to receive the order. Concubine Nan'an and Mrs. Shihou also honestly received the will, but in their hearts, they scolded the Wang family all over the place. The two of them were forcibly dragged to speak by Mrs. Wang, and when Mrs. Wang said those words, the two of them were silent, and they didn't want to cause trouble to their own family again, but they didn't expect to be provoked!
As for Zheng Bao, after hearing the emperor's will, he raised his head boldly and looked at the emperor in disbelief. She felt that she had no evidence in her hands that Prince Yan and Jia Min had a head and tail, but this didn't mean that what she said was nonsense? Therefore, Zheng Bao wanted to make Jia Min unlucky, and unanimously decided in his heart that Jia Min was an unchaste woman.
But Zheng Bao also understood at this time that she could no longer attack her with Jia Min's chastity, and if she insisted on going her own way, not only would Jia Min not be hurt at all, but would cause the emperor to be even more angry! Zheng Bao's eyes rolled, and he glanced down at the clean clothes he had just changed. So when the eunuch who came to execute her was about to catch her, Zheng Bao suddenly broke away from them, threw himself a few steps forward, and grabbed the hem of the emperor's clothes.
"Your Majesty! Emperor! Jia Min just pushed the courtier's wife into the water and wanted the courtier's life! Your Majesty, you can't be so biased towards Jia Min, she looks kind and respectful on the surface, but in private she does such a thing that loses her conscience, begging the emperor to make the decision for the courtiers no matter what, and let Jia Min give the courtiers an explanation! ”
The emperor was stunned for a moment by Zheng Bao's sudden move, and then immediately reacted, trying to take back his clothes from Zheng Bao's hands. Seeing this, Gonggong Shi shouted: "Bold, you slut dares to attack the emperor, come on!" Hurry up! ”
Before Gonggong Shi's words were finished, Zheng Bao was kicked to the ground by the emperor's personal guard.
But perhaps the obsession that made Jia Min unlucky in his heart was too deep, Zheng Baoqiang endured the severe pain in his body, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, knelt up straight and looked at the emperor and said: "Ask the emperor to be the master of the courtiers!" After finishing speaking, he began to kowtow non-stop, and in the carpeted hall, he could still hear Zheng Bao's muffled "bang" sound due to kowtowing.
The emperor gasped several times, looked at Zheng Bao who kept kowtowing on the ground, and scolded loudly: "Okay! You said that the lord of Huigui pushed you into the water and wanted to kill you, but anyone saw it? If you dare to deceive me again, I will take your life immediately! ”
Zheng Bao raised his head and showed a triumphant smile, looked at the emperor and said, "The emperor is clear, the courtiers dare not speak falsely!" It was really the county lord of Huigui who pushed the courtiers into the water! ”
"Tell me what it was like!" After being silent for a long time, the queen suddenly asked.
"Yes! Queen Mother! Zheng Bao tilted his head and showed a smug smile to Jia Min not far away.
Jia Min knelt straight in the center of the hall from beginning to end, bowing his head respectfully, and had no intention of justifying himself for Zheng Bao's accusations and slanders. Compared with Zheng Bao's urgent villain face, Jia Min's calm and calm appearance made people believe her in their hearts.
"At that time, the courtiers met the lord of Huigui by the quiet lake, and the courtiers had some quarrels with the lord of Huigui, and the lord of Huigui pushed the princess in anger! The courtiers did not stand firm and fell into the quiet lake, and then the lord of Huigui saw a group of female dependents coming towards us, so he ordered her maids to fish them up! When the courtiers were fished up, many people saw it! If the emperor and queen don't believe it, they can ask someone! ”
"Huh! The princess of Dongping County wants to frame someone, but she also has to make sure that there are no loopholes in all the details before she speaks! After the Hongxuan Hall fell into silence for a moment, the crown princess suddenly spoke, walked in front of Zheng Bao and looked at her, her eyes were full of disdain and boredom.
"The Crown Princess! The courtiers don't say a word of lie, don't believe it......"
"How dare you lie!" The crown princess reprimanded coldly.
The crown princess turned around and saluted the emperor and queen, and then said loudly: "Father and mother, when the princess of Dongping County and the lord of Huigui had a dispute, the son happened to pass by Jinghu, although he stood far away and did not hear the content of their dispute, but the son clearly saw the whole process of the princess of Dongping County falling into Jinghu!" ”
Zheng Bao looked at the crown princess with wide eyes in shock, she wanted to say that the crown princess deliberately slandered her in order to exonerate Jia Min, but if she didn't say her words, no one would believe it, just by virtue of the status and character of the crown princess, even if the crown princess really lied at this time, no one would think that the crown princess was lying. So Zheng Bao swallowed the words on his lips and thought nervously about how to "justify himself"!
"Since the crown princess has seen it clearly and understood, let's talk about whether the county lord of Huigui pushed the princess of Dongping County into the quiet lake, right?" The queen said unhurriedly.
"Yes! Queen mother! After Erchen saw what the princess of Dongping County said to the county lord of Huigui, the county lord of Huigui turned around and wanted to leave. When the county lord of Huigui had already walked three zhang away from the princess of Dongping County, the princess of Dongping County suddenly shouted, "Lord Huigui, what are you going to do, don't!" "And then he jumped into the lake by himself!"
"No, it's not! That's not true! It was really Jia Min who pushed me, and I fell into the water! Zheng Bao shook his head, his eyes were red and he looked like he was crying, looking very innocent and pitiful.
The crown princess sneered and continued: "The princess of Dongping County doesn't have to act like a copy of the palace bullying you!" Who is right and wrong, and wait until the palace finishes speaking! ”
