Chapter 431: Questioning

Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

As soon as the words fell, the noisy hall suddenly fell silent.

The old affairs of the eldest princess in the Northern Wei Dynasty were taboo from the imperial court, and they have not been mentioned by anyone for decades. Tonight, not only did the old things come up again, but they also moved to the main hall for singing and dancing entertainment, which is simply ......

National shame, this is a national shame!

For a while, the smiles on the faces of the people who were singing and laughing completely faded, and they put down their wine glasses, only to see the eldest princess Zhu Qinglian walking out of her seat. The courtiers suddenly found that after so many years, the eldest princess who was peerless back then was so old, and it was clear that the other eldest princess was much older than her, but when the two stood together, she was dragged deeper by the years. She staggered out, and people found that her eyes were already red, and she stared at the woman in red in the hall, her expression shaky.

"This is my old story in the Northern Wei Dynasty, I was with the pro-Northern Wei Dynasty, the war started, and the Northern Wei royal family put me into the Northern Wei military camp in order to humiliate my Eastern Continental soldiers. Later, Pei Yongjun, the prince of Tai'an, led his troops to attack the Northern Wei camp, and in the chaos, the 18th Hussar Army under his command rescued me. Back then, I was like this girl, panicked and frightened, and wandered around the army, and when I saw the soldiers of the Eastern Continent, it was like seeing my family. When I cried and was picked up by Pei Yongjun, I couldn't help but kneel on the ground and kiss the loess under his feet, this is my motherland to save me......"

She whispered the story.

In the narration of the eldest princess's whimper, everyone's faces changed.

For so many years, Emperor Xuanqing has pressed her affairs very well, and only a few old ministers in the past know about it, and many courtiers who joined later have never heard of this past.

Hearing what the eldest princess said, some of the female relatives had shallow tears and tears.

When they put themselves in their shoes, they felt that they were so weak that they had already touched their necks in despair.

As soon as the eldest princess's voice fell, her expression suddenly turned sharp, she stared at the red-clothed woman in the hall fiercely, and shouted: "It's been almost thirty years, and I have almost hidden the pain back then, where did you know about it?" What is your intention to move into this temple tonight to dance and entertain people? ”

The dancing young people were stunned, and the eldest princess didn't wait for them to answer, she suddenly turned around and knelt in the hall: "Brother Huang, I wanted to touch my neck with a sword back then, but you told me that from now on you will protect me, and everyone who hurts me, you will make him pay!" Tonight, someone will punish my heart in front of you, tear my wounds bloody and spread them out in front of everyone's eyes, Brother Huangβ€”"

She cried out bitterly, as if she couldn't bear it anymore, and her cloudy old eyes were full of suppressed tears.

Emperor Xuanqing's face changed suddenly.

The hand on the dragon chair was tightly gripped, and everyone saw that the green tendons of the hands were protruding, and it was obvious that he had reached the limit of patience.

The old things in the past are not only the pain in the eldest princess's heart, but also the biggest pain for him, a brother!

Tonight, someone actually used this to make a fuss, what is the intention?

The singing and dancing stopped, and in the quiet hall, only Emperor Xuanqing's teeth were creaking, and a few words popped out from between his teeth: "Help the eldest princess get up, don't worry, I will give you an explanation!" ”

The crown prince and Chen Zhao, who were sitting on the lower side, were stunned suddenly.

Since the eldest princess stood up, these two people have been full of anticipation in their hearts, and when they heard the eldest princess's cry of blood and tears, others were moved, and they were happy-

The more angry Emperor Xuanqing is, the better the effect will be when the eldest princess tells the truth.

Therefore, neither of them stopped the eldest princess from speaking.

It wasn't until he heard her open her mouth to ask what these people were trying to do, and why someone was punishing her in front of Emperor Xuanqing tonight, that Chen Zhao suddenly felt that something was wrong.

No, it's not like that!

According to the original plan, the eldest princess would stand up and say to Emperor Xuanqing: "Don't be angry, brother Huang, this dance was arranged by me, decades have passed, and the imperial brother has forgotten the injuries I suffered back then, but I dare not forget it for a day." Brother Huang, what happened back then was not an accident, but someone deliberately! "Then, it is right to bring the disaster to the current Yi Guifei. If Concubine Yi doesn't attend tonight, she will be speechless, and when the charges are confirmed, she can present the secret letter exposing Zhu Xinzhi, the prince of Huai'an......

Empress Chen was also quite surprised.

dared to arrange this dance at the beginning, because the eldest princess would personally admit that it was arranged by her, but now the eldest princess doesn't admit it, and she really understands how much Emperor Xuanqing cares about this matter, how can she parry?

She looked at Chen Zhao on the lower side with sincere fear.

Chen Zhao was rarely flustered.

What the hell is the eldest princess doing, is she not even caring about her own son?

No, it's not, Gao Xingzhi is her lifeline, and it is impossible for her not to ignore Gao Xingzhi. Unless, Gao Xingzhi has been rescued!

Chen Zhao immediately beckoned to the inner supervisor behind him, the people at this table tonight were all arranged by Empress Chen, and when he saw his orders, he came over with his ears, Chen Zhao hurriedly said: "You go and send a message to Bo Sen, let him see if Gao Xingzhi is still imprisoned in the dungeon." ”

The inner supervisor quickly went to pass the word, Chen Zhao stabilized the uneasiness in his heart, and gave Empress Chen a slightly calm look.

Emperor Xuanqing had already opened his mouth at this time: "Empress, this dance was arranged by you, tell me what is going on?" ”

When Empress Chen saw her brother gesturing, her heart was a little relieved, and her head turned quickly: "Your Majesty, this dance was sent by the people below, and the concubines didn't know about the eldest princess back then. ”

Emperor Xuanqing sneered: "You don't know? ”

Back then, others didn't know about the old things, but several concubines in the palace knew more or less about it.

At present, Empress Chen said that she didn't know, and Emperor Xuanqing didn't believe a word in her heart.

Empress Chen met his gaze and had to nod stubbornly: "The concubine really doesn't know." ”

"Okay." Emperor Xuanqing took a deep breath and turned his head to look at the few dancers below: "The queen said that you were sent by the people below, I think you are not from the palace, which music fang are you from?" ”

Several people looked at each other, and the red-clothed dancing queen knelt on the ground and replied: "Your Majesty, the untouchables are the dancing girls of Lehefang." ”

As soon as the words of Lehefang came out, the courtiers sitting below were in an uproar and looked at the Chen family one after another.

The Chen family has some businesses under their name, and this Lehefang is one of them.

On weekdays, there are many officials who will patronize it, and they are too familiar with this music workshop to be familiar with it, and everyone knows that this is the property of Lord Chen's family.

Emperor Xuanqing was still lowering his eyes and wanted to call Jinghe's father-in-law to ask Lehefang, seeing that everyone was looking at Chen Zhao, he also knew it, Jinghe's father-in-law nodded at the right time, which confirmed Emperor Xuanqing's guess.

The matter has come to this point, and Chen Zhao can't do it if he doesn't speak.

He got up quickly, walked to the middle of the field and scolded: "Why do you do this dance to conceal the eldest princess, deceive the queen, and get Your Majesty to frame my Chen family?" ”

The dancers looked at each other, and one of the young men wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he was pressed down.

The dancing girl who played the eldest princess in the middle was already trembling, and her face was pale: "My lord, this dance is obviously your ......"

Unexpectedly, before the words fell, Chen Zhao had already raised a foot and kicked her chest: "Your Majesty, how can you be allowed to be untrustworthy?" It doesn't matter if you don't want your own life, do you know that deceiving the Holy One will be beheaded all over the house, and you will not feel guilty about your family? ”

The dancing girl's face was even whiter, and she knelt on the ground with her chest covered and trembled like chaff, but she didn't dare to say another word.

Chen Zhao's words are clearly threatened, and no one can hear them?

Pei Xie Tang sneered: "Lord Chen is really, what if she finishes speaking?" It is a death to deceive His Majesty, is it not a capital crime to conceal the royal family and insult the eldest princess? Say it quickly, maybe you can also atone for the crime, Lord Chen, since you think that someone framed your Chen family, why not listen to her? ”

Zhu Zonglin couldn't tell the situation, and agreed on the side: "Yes, just look at what this Diao Min says!" ”

The second prince's eyes were dyed with a hint of relief, he was very happy to see the unlucky fortune of the prince and the Chen family, and then spoke: "Yes, Lord Chen is so anxious, others can't help but speculate that you have no silver three hundred taels here." ”

Everyone said a few words, and Emperor Xuanqing also felt that it was wrong, so he asked Chen Zhao to retreat: "Let her speak!" ”

Chen Zhao's face changed several times, and he had no choice but to return to his seat.

Seeing that he was defeated by several people, the prince also jumped out: "Father, this untouchable is obviously coming for the Chen family, Chen Taibao is loyal to the court and his father, how can he make a fuss about the eldest princess?" If my father believed the instigation of these people and had doubts about Chen Taibao in his heart, this would undoubtedly chill people's hearts. Father, think twice! ”

He seemed to be extremely distressed, and his words were sincere, so that Emperor Xuanqing showed a momentary hesitation on his face.

At this moment, Zhu Xin got off the field.

He only smiled: "Brother Huang doesn't have to be so nervous, in my opinion, my father wants to ask, and it is the heart of caring for Chen Taibao." You must know that the tongue is as sharp as a knife, and the mouth is gold, tonight's dance is offered by Lehe Fang, no matter what others say, Chen Taibao can't help but be suspicious, rather than letting him carry the malicious intent of the world's speculation, it is better to find out clearly. ”

Emperor Xuanqing was immediately relieved, and his anger was still strong: "Shut up, let this dancing girl speak!" ”

The dancing girl knelt in the middle of the field, and after being kicked by Chen Zhao, the corners of her mouth were bloody, and she fell to the ground respectfully, without anyone looking.

But Pei Xie Tang knew that she would definitely say it.

Zhu Xinzhi doesn't know what role he has played in recent events, but this person doesn't fight a battle that he is not sure of, since he wants to pick up this layer of veil, it is impossible to break the drums and rain.

Wait, it's going to be a thunderclap.

The dancing girl fell to the ground, and she also listened to Pei Xie Tang's words, she thought about it one or two, a touch of determination flashed in her eyes, and she said categorically: "This dance tonight is indeed let us practice by Lehefang, and it has long been clearly said that it is going to be staged at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, and Lord Chen also came to Lefang to see it, not because he didn't know it in advance." ”

"You! Daring! ”

Before the words fell, the prince had already jumped up and scolded.

Chen Zhao closed his eyes, and a deep sense of powerlessness surged from the bottom of his heart.
