Act 78 It hurts my heart
Remember in a second
"Come on, put Yuxuan in prison, and make a decision after finding out the truth, and no one is allowed to approach her during this period." The emperor ordered the runaway Jade Xuanxun.
Originally, she was still escorted away by the guards, but when she accidentally found half of the jade pendant on the corpse, she suddenly paused, broke free from the restraints, and rushed over to pick it up and look at it.
If she didn't admit that she was wrong, this jade pendant was a promise given to her father by her mother, and she remembered that her father carried it with him wherever she went, and she never untied it, but why did it appear on this person's body now.
Yu Xuanxun was desperate to get an answer, and he didn't care about his current situation, so he grabbed Sheng Zhiye's arm and asked, "You tell me who this person is and where he comes from?" Why do you have such a jade pendant, tell me quickly. ”
Sheng Zhiye pushed her away in disgust, and Yu Xuanxun fell heavily to the ground without standing firmly, and his head just hit the stone next to him, and blood came out in an instant.
"Your Majesty, can you see it, Yu Xuanxun deliberately pretended to be crazy and stupid to collide with the concubines in order to get rid of the crime, and I hope that the emperor will make the decision as soon as possible, don't let her have a chance to hurt you." Sheng Zhiye cried to the emperor aggrievedly.
"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you take people down quickly."
Yu Xuanxun was ruthlessly imprisoned in the prison, but the doubts in his heart became more and more intense, it seems that this Brother Ling must have something to do with his father's death.
But now that he is locked up in this place as a prisoner, it is not easy to go out and clear his name, let alone follow this half of the jade pendant to find out the hidden connection behind it.
After thinking about it, the only person who can think of it is Aunt Weining, but how to pass on the news. Since she arrived in this place, not even a single figure has appeared, which shows that the emperor's prohibition order is still quite enforceable.
This made Yu Xuanxun's idea of asking for help from others even more slim, and the whole person curled up in a corner because of frustration and thought about countermeasures.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps, and Yu Xuanxun also followed the movement and became vigilant, and a figure that surprised her came into view without warning, and she felt aggrieved and resistant.
The sound of the collision of iron chains was accompanied by the sound of the door opening, and the emperor had already appeared in front of her, and Yuxuanxun said angrily, "How can the emperor be the lord of the Ninety-Five, for the sake of me, a lowly slave who does not know the height of the sky, and condescend to such a dirty place, the slave and maid don't want to carry another crime of bullying the king." ”
"You don't have to speak with thorns to stab people everywhere, I know that this incident is not as simple as it seems, let's say, what is the reason for the jade pendant."
Yuxuan looked at the emperor in surprise and asked suspiciously, "Will the emperor believe what I say?" The slave and maid are soft-spoken, where can they compare to the talented people, and the mother can speak thousands of words compared to the slave and maid. ”
"If you had been honest with me in the morning, there wouldn't have been this today." The emperor straightforwardly stated where the root knot was.
But Yu Xuanxun never accepted this answer, and retorted unwillingly: "The emperor only knows that I have something to hide, but if the slave maid asks if it is pointed out from the beginning that my father's death has other inside information, will the emperor accept it?" ”
"No, it won't." The emperor said his inner thoughts without concealment, "Yuheng's death is not suspicious, I really can't think of anyone who will put him to death." Moreover, King Rui has guarded the border for many years, and I believe that under his leadership, no one will have the opportunity to kill people under his nose. ”
"If this person has already been scheming, even if King Rui's eyes are like a torch, he can't be guarded against them one by one, I'm afraid that this person killed my father not only to weaken the strength of our army, but the main reason is probably that there are other plans."
"What you mean is that there is an underworld force in the court that is quietly detrimental to the Ziqing Dynasty."
Yu Xuanxun paused and shook his head and said, "The slave doesn't dare to make conclusions, she just wants to find out whether my father's death was an accident or not." He took out the jade pendant in his arms, "If my father really accidentally fell into the enemy's plan and died tragically under their random arrows, then why hasn't his body been returned to the imperial capital, but the jade pendant he carried with him has appeared in the palace." ”
"You mean this man surnamed Ling?" The emperor took the jade pendant and looked at it, "You really don't know this person?" ”
Yu Xuanxun raised his hand and swore, "If what Yu Xuanxun said has a false wish to be hit by five thunders, he will ...... forever."
The emperor hurriedly covered her mouth, with a hint of pity in his words, "I don't want you to swear any poisonous oath, but I hope you can do it without a trace of concealment." ”
Yu Xuanxun knew that if he wanted to leave this cage, the only way was to gain the emperor's trust, and since he was able to come here to see her in person, it showed that the emperor still had reservations about her in his heart.
Tears have begun to roll in his eyes, and he choked down the emperor's hand and cried, "The slave knows that the emperor is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, and the slave and maid are only to blame for not caring about the emperor's feelings for their own selfishness. ”
"I don't mean to hurt you, it's just that as you said, the underworld forces in the DPRK and China have begun to emerge, and if I don't take a little action, I'm afraid I won't be able to curb their rapid development." The emperor doted on the tears on her face.
But even if he felt the favor at this moment, Yu Xuanxun couldn't convince himself to give up, and hid aside angrily, "The slave doesn't care if she can be sealed or what kind of status she will have, and what is really sad is that she completely vetoed me just because of the one-sided words of others, and what the emperor really hurt is my heart." ”
The emperor took pity on her from behind and embraced her, "I don't know, but if I don't do this, how can I lead the snake out of the hole." The more I treat you, the more dangerous you are in the harem, and I have to distance myself from you in order to protect you. ”
"So the reason why the emperor did this is nothing more than to protect me." Yuxuanxun is certainly happy, but he still has some scruples about the emperor's scheming.
If she didn't guess wrong, the emperor had already known about Aunt Weining's affairs, but she had been suffering from not having the opportunity to suppress it, and now taking advantage of the opportunity of the general election, the emperor moved his mind.
It can be seen that the power behind Aunt Weining must not be underestimated, otherwise the emperor would not have stepped out in person.
"I only hope that you can stop this incident and stop investigating it again, and I will save you out." The emperor carefully ordered.
But Yu Xuanxun disagreed, and refused, "The emperor's intentions are understood, but if the emperor contributes too much in this matter, I am afraid that someone with a heart will see the clues." ”
"If I don't intervene, can you have the confidence to get out?" The emperor took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and gently drugged Yu Xuanxun's injured forehead, "I heard that Ye Xun, the guard who served the Ninth Prince on an errand in Liuyu Palace, is the twin eldest brother of your mother's compatriots, is this true?" ”
Yu Xuanxun didn't expect the emperor to suddenly ask this question, and he sighed inexplicably in his heart, and wanted to respond yes, but when he thought that he had been honest in front of the shadow, he denied it and explained, "There is really nothing in the palace that can hide from the emperor, in fact, the emperor should guess that the slave is the guard Ye Xun." ”
"This period of time has made you learn to be obedient." Stuffed the medicine in his hand into Yu Xuanxun's hand, "Fortunately, you didn't choose to deceive me, otherwise I would never have let you clear your suspicion of this incident." ”
The hand holding the medicine bottle tightened, and Yu Xuanxun said with a smile, "It turns out that the emperor is still testing the slave maid at this moment, there is a saying that is true, the king is like a tiger, and the emperor's mind is really terrifying." ”
"So you'd better not deceive me, or I'll make you regret it." The emperor pinched Yu Xuanxun's chin and smiled evilly, "There is news from outside the palace that Yujing and his party will arrive in the imperial capital tomorrow, and I will inevitably order someone to send them into the palace secretly." As for you, whether you can clear your grievances tomorrow depends on your performance. ”
"The emperor's meaning, the slave and maid have already understood." Seeing that the emperor had been here for a long time, he urged, "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, the emperor should leave quickly, so as not to make people suspicious." ”
The emperor couldn't help but peck her lightly on the lips, a little reluctant, "If it weren't for this turmoil, I would have already taken you into my pocket." Remember, you belong to me in this life. ”
Sending the emperor away, Yu Xuanxun's palm was already oozing sweat, it was undeniable that although she had complained to the emperor, she knew in her heart that the emperor at that time was sincere, even if she regarded herself as a stand-in for Bai Li.
Now, even with his sweet words lingering in her ears, she can obviously feel that she has lost her previous sincerity, and she can no longer hear which of the emperor's words is true and which is false.
This is the biggest factor that makes Yuxuan scared.
After a night of anxiety, under the personal supervision of the head of Laining, Yuxuanxun was taken to Shouhe Palace, the nine princes and the three princesses, as well as the eleventh prince and Lin Xinxu were all there, and naturally there were Sheng Cai and Yun Meiren who were inseparable from the emperor.
"Back to the emperor, Yuxuanxun has been brought." Lai Ning's proclamation brought back the emperor's thoughts, and the eyes of the yin owl stared straight at her.
After a while, he spoke, "Yu Xuanxun not only entered the palace in the name of Yu Heng's daughter to bully the king, but also secretly had a private meeting with a man as a show girl regardless of the royal face, and now he is killing people for self-preservation, and any one of them can make your head fall to the ground." ”
"The slave is wronged." Yu Xuanxun excitedly shouted for himself, "The slave and maid don't know where the man came from, and besides, the slave and maid are indeed the daughter of the Yu family, and there is no fraud, if the emperor doesn't believe it, he can find the Yu family to confront him face to face." ”
"What to do, the emperor has his own opinions, and it's not your turn to talk too much." Sheng Cairen's eyes glared at Yu Xuanxun with sharp eyes, "On the night of the accident, Lin Xinxu, who was also in the Xiu Women's Academy, witnessed you meeting with a man on the rooftop, how can this be explained?" ”
