Chapter 242: If you are outside, you must first settle inside
But he was not so impulsive, he had the same thoughts in Yan Jifeng's heart, the truth was not important, it was the most important thing for him to safely take his children back to Yanbei.
Therefore, King Yanbei looked at Xiaohuan on the ground with an incredulous face at this moment, and said the same: "I really didn't expect that this was our own people who had a problem and caused trouble to your country, I am really embarrassed, and His Majesty the Emperor sent someone to protect the daughter of this king a few days ago, and this king is here to express his endless gratitude." ”
"No, the prince and the slave didn't do it, the slave and the maid really didn't gang up with outsiders to frame the princess, princess, you believe me, the slave and the maid really didn't."
When Xiaohuan heard the prince say this, he was anxious, he was fine, why did the emperor condemn Liu Feng and Xiaoyou without even asking.
"It's also your Yanbei's own business, it just happened within our borders, maybe this girl still has some bad intentions, pre-destroying the friendly relations between our two countries."
The emperor didn't mean anything when he said this, but he was afraid that when the king of Yanbei arrived in Yanbei, he would make a big move to start a disaster on the back foot.
"No, no, since this king knows that it is Xiaohuan's fault, he will definitely not make a big fight between the two countries for this unclear suspicion."
"That's good, that's good. Since it's your own business, then you can deal with it yourself. ”
The emperor waved his hand, and then shirked that there were still state affairs to deal with, King Yanbei naturally understood, and only after the emperor left did he lead Yan Jifeng and Yan Jiyun away with a broken face.
Everyone is gone, there are still two people left in the main hall, Gong Xuanzheng and Gong Xuanli, Gong Xuanzheng's eyes are extremely ambitious, and he does not make any disguise, staring at the carved gold dragon chair that symbolizes supreme power, feeling that Gong Xuanli has been looking at him, and he turned back indifferently: "Sixth brother, do you think that if you bring Xiaohuan, you can defeat me?" ”
"Father handed over this matter to you for verification with the fifth brother, I never felt that this matter had anything to do with the fifth brother, could it be that the sixth brother I thought wrong? Is this a matter that you can't do, Fifth Brother? ”
Gong Xuanzheng looked around, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Sixth brother, don't talk nonsense." I worked hard to investigate this matter from beginning to end, and it was easy to find witnesses to prove the truth of this matter, if you must insist, sixth brother, if something uncontrollable happened at that time, don't blame the fifth brother for not reminding you. ”
"Father's heart is like a mirror, fifth brother, you better restrain your hand, not every action, you will escape as easily as when you borrowed the third brother's hand to frame the prince."
When Gong Xuanzheng heard this person say this, there was no trace of panic on his face, he just smiled contemptuously, and then left.
Gong Xuanli felt bad about the fact that the emperor and Gong Xuanzheng were on the side, this matter was obviously a masterpiece made by the fifth brother, and it was impossible for the father not to have the slightest suspicion, but the father not only handed over the right to investigate this matter to him, but also helped Gong Xuanzheng openly and secretly.
If this King of Yanbei knew that this so-called witness was a thug who defiled his daughter, according to the temperament of King Yanbei, it would be strange that he had a seizure in front of the court. It's not like now, seemingly calmly taking his own people away.
But he couldn't figure it out, so after Gong Xuanzheng left, he went to see the emperor privately.
The emperor was closing his eyes at the moment, and when he heard the eunuch's report that the six princes asked to see him, he didn't even frown, just waved his hand and said: "Tell him that he must first settle down inside the outside, and he still has something to learn, let him go back." ”
"Sixth prince, go back, the emperor is in the morning morning, and he saw the prince of Yanbei again, it's going to be noon, I don't even bother to take a sip of tea, I'm resting at the moment,"
The emperor didn't see him, and he didn't have any loss, Gong Xuanli, who was walking on the way out of the palace, kept circling in his mind the words that he must be safe outside, and he didn't notice that there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and he didn't notice it until the soft rain climbed on his shoulders, and he didn't notice that it was raining.
When he returned to the General's Mansion, he hadn't figured it out yet, and it was clear that he was about to put the truth in front of his father, as long as he let the Imperial Forest Army pick up that person's clothes.
At the beginning, he went to instruct Namu Dutong to bring Liu Feng down from the national temple, the purpose was for this, and he ran away for fear that Liu Feng would be frightened, but he still had to bring people into the palace, so he said that he would bring people into the palace in the name of witnesses, but he didn't expect that he would bring people in, not only did it have no effect, but also wronged the maid called Xiaohuan,
And if the truth of this matter is revealed, the timid and fearful Liu Feng will definitely confess the five princes, and even if the emperor doesn't believe that Liu Feng's words, the suspicion of Gong Xuanzheng will definitely be buried in his heart, but now everything has fallen short.
He had a feeling of frustration, his brows were furrowed, and he entered the general's mansion with an unhappy face.
Before entering the door, Ning Zimo, who was pruning the flower branches, saw at a glance that the clothes on his body were wet, she put down the small scissors in her hand, walked over quickly with her stomach, and scolded softly: "It's raining outside, why don't you have an umbrella?" ”
While speaking, she motioned to Yunu to get clean clothes, and when Yunu went out, he hugged the person in his arms with an unhappy face, took a deep breath, and said in a frustrated tone: "What kind of praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind, it's all fake, my father obviously knows that Gong Xuanzheng has a problem, but he still protects him." ”
He planned to save Xiaohuan and brought Liu Feng into the palace, the purpose was to expose Liu Feng's lie in the court, but the emperor did not allow him to do so, and even warned him with such an unfamiliar gaze.
Ning Zimo was afraid that he would press his stomach too hard, so he subconsciously stepped back, and then said, "How do you say this?" What is the situation in the temple today? ”
Ning Zimo naturally knew what he did, but she felt that Gong Xuanzheng was not so easy to be defeated, when Gong Xuanzheng dared to ask someone to attack the princess, he had already thought of a follow-up move, and before that person acted, it was impossible to allow any accidents to happen.
Gong Xuanli was sullen and unhappy, just like his daughter-in-law who was completely wronged, he was aggrieved and told everything in the palace today, he said it carefully, Ning Zimo listened carefully, and finally he said the words that the emperor persuaded him in the end.
"If you go outside, you must first settle inside,"
Ning Zimo repeated this sentence in a low voice, she knew that he was smart, it was impossible not to know the meaning of this word, so she was wondering if this Ah Li was worried about the next thing.
She pursed her lips and asked in a low voice: "You said that the king of Yanbei has been in power for so many years, and Yan Jifeng has lived in the capital for so many years, how can their father and son not know that Liu Feng has a problem, but they didn't have a seizure in the court, haven't you thought about why?" Yan Xiyun was pampered by the old prince and princess of Yanbei in the palm of their hands, didn't they want to avenge Yan Xiyun? ”
"I naturally know this, after all, this is not their territory, my father is bent on covering up the truth, but my father is so shrewd, how can he not know that there are thousands of twists and turns in this matter, he doesn't even think about tracking down the truth, the two witnesses brought over, the so-called suicide note and other criminal evidence, my father didn't ask about it, if this is kept being investigated, Gong Xuanzheng's tricks will definitely not be hidden."
This time the incident seemed to be a big blow to Gong Xuanli, it seemed that all his efforts were in vain, he was not all to help Yan Xuanyun find her murderer, but wanted to take the opportunity to trip Gong Xuanzheng, but the emperor's attitude was like a mountain in front of him, his tone was indignant, probably because he hadn't figured it out yet, and his brows had been frowning since he left the palace.
At this moment, the jade slave had already come, Ning Zimo motioned for her to put down her clothes, and then asked her to retreat.
"Come on, let's change our wet clothes first."
Ning Zimo's hands were already attached to his waist as he spoke, and he began to untie his belt, he was obedient, what an irritable heart came to her, seeing her quiet and well-behaved, listening to her soft voice like a hot spring dingdong, the whole person's originally manic heart calmed down in an instant.
At this moment, he enjoyed her gentle words, but he never thought that he would one day hate her quiet and noisy.
"Well, Xiao Mo, you know"
"I know, of course I know, the emperor naturally has his reasons for doing this. You naturally think that the truth is important, but the emperor may not think so. Your father, the Emperor, is the pride of the sky, and he sits on that dragon chair and thinks about much more than you. Gong Xuanzheng is a person who is very good at judging the situation, and you have to learn this from him. ”
Ning Zimo originally thought that this man was quite quiet, but after saying this, this man was like a plucked lion, and instantly became manic, grabbed her wrist, and his fingers gradually became stronger: "I learn from him?" You mean I'm inferior to him? ”
She frowned and whispered, "I didn't say that."
"And what do you want me to learn from him?"
It seemed that when he saw her frowning and felt that he had hurt her, he immediately let go, but Gong Xuanli had always hidden anger in his heart, and he couldn't get vent in the palace, so his anger rose more and more, and after letting go of her hand, he gritted his teeth coldly and said: "I'm going out, you can use it yourself for lunch." ”
Before Ning Zimo could even say a few words to stay, the man quickly disappeared into Hua Tingyuan.
How long has it been, they haven't spoken well to each other, and recently this man doesn't know what's wrong, the whole person is becoming more and more sensitive, and if he says a little bit of something that makes him unhappy, he can turn his face on the spot, Ning Zimo feels that she is not as big as she is pregnant, she helplessly touched her belly, it was already lunch time, he still left, the housekeeper entered the general's mansion with an unhappy face before seeing Gong Xuanli at the gate, and his face was even more ugly. It's lunchtime, why are you still leaving? Could it be a quarrel?
The housekeeper was a little suspicious when he thought of this, because when he was serving in front of Ning Guodong, he was a little absent-minded, the housekeeper was a person that General Ning was used to, and he saw his abnormality at a glance, let go of the wolf pen in his hand, and asked loudly: "Do you have anything to say?" ”
