Chapter Seventy-Five: The Audience
Chenguang obediently followed Zhang Lun out of Rongwang's mansion, got into the carriage and went to the palace, the other party was so overwhelming, she didn't dare to ask more, hung her head, trembling, like a frightened deer.
Zhang Lun was very satisfied with her reaction, this one was not a troublesome master.
But he soon found out that he was wrong, this master was not an ordinary trouble, but a special trouble.
Chenguang obediently got out of the carriage at the gate of the palace and followed Zhang Lun forward, without asking a word of nonsense. But she walked too slowly, slower than a turtle. There was a drizzle in the sky, Zhang Lun and a group of soldiers walked around her, and had to match her pace, so it didn't take long for her to be poured into a soup chicken, but she was not afraid of the rain with clothes to wear.
"Can Princess Chenguang go faster?" Zhang Lun asked impatiently.
Chenguang stopped, took two breaths, and then replied slowly:
"Manager Zhang, it's impossible to go fast, this is already the fastest. Otherwise, Mr. Zhang will find two people to carry me, since it is summoned by His Majesty, it is not good to let His Majesty wait too long. ”
Zhang Lun's face turned green, sitting in a sedan chair in the palace was the treatment of the emperor and the palace concubine, and he didn't even make a fate, but her turtle speed was too delayed, and His Majesty's temper was not good today.
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Lun still asked people to quickly prepare a small sedan chair, lift the morning light, and carry it to the outside of the Qiankun Palace as quickly as possible.
got off the sedan chair in the morning light, followed Zhang Lun to climb the white marble steps, and stood outside the gate of Qiankun Palace.
Coming to Qiankun Palace, it means that the early dynasty has not ended, and the dynasty has not dispersed at this hour, it seems that something big happened in the early dynasty.
Zhang Lun entered through the back door, waited outside the hall for a moment in the morning light, and heard Zhang Lun's voice inside, shouting loudly, announcing her to the temple.
Chenguang pulled her dress, the rain behind her was heavier than before, and a lot of rain fell on her back, she shivered, hurriedly crossed the threshold, and walked into the Qiankun Palace.
Before the dynasty dispersed, there were several columns of important ministers wearing court clothes standing neatly in the Qiankun Palace, and a large area of black pressure was pressed, silent, and the needle could be heard.
Directly in front of him sat Shen Chong, dressed in a golden robe, on the high dragon chair, staring at the morning light, with no expression or emotion, which was more oppressive than the obvious anger.
In the front row of the courtiers, Shen Huai, Shen Run, Shen Qi, and Shen Qi stood in a row, and standing next to Shen Qi was Yan Ying, who was already wearing a prince's dress, and was already His Royal Highness the King of Li.
At the moment when the morning light came in, the courtiers behind did not dare to look back, they turned back.
Seeing this formation, Chenguang was a little nervous, a nervous, the pace was slower than just now, originally others walked ten steps to get there, she walked a full thirty steps, almost rubbed in front of the imperial steps.
It's just that she walks slowly, Shen Chong took into account the identity of the Son of Heaven and didn't want to worry about such a trivial matter, so he didn't scold her.
But the time to enter the door is too long, and the calm and serious atmosphere when you first enter the door has unconsciously weakened a little with the advancement of time.
Chenguang knelt down in front of the imperial steps slowly, and said softly and glutinously: "Chenguang greets my father, long live my father, long live, long live!" ”
Even if Shen Chong didn't treat her as a daughter-in-law at all, he would not scold her for a "father" on such an occasion. swallowed the displeasure of her climbing the high branches into his stomach, and did not call her to get up, and asked coldly in a calm voice:
"Do you know this man?"
Chenguang was stunned for a moment, looked at him suspiciously, followed his gaze to the side, a middle-aged man with a long beard with a bloody face, looked at her, and cried weakly:
"Princess, save the minions! Save the minions! ”
Chenguang was startled, this person was beaten to a completely inhuman shape, his flesh and blood were blurred, and the bones of his body were broken in a few places, and he looked tattered.
"Who is he?" The morning light shrank into a ball and asked fearfully.
"Princess! It's a minion! The slave is Chen Zhao! Seeing Chenguang's denial, the bearded man was anxious, and dragged his two bad legs to his knees and moved forward two steps, but gave up because of the pain, and he cried out loudly, "Princess, you must save the minions!" ”
"But...... I don't know you, and I don't know what's wrong with you......" Chenguang said timidly.
"Second brother and sister!" Shen Huai specially added an accent to the title, which meant to tie her and Shen Run together, with a smug face, and said with a smile, "Second brother and sister, don't quibble, admit your guilt obediently, my father can still be light for the sake of you being the second daughter-in-law, and what my father hates most is a cult that pretends to be a ghost!" ”
"Cult? Plead guilty? Chenguang was confused, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?" She looked at Shen Run, who was strained and said inexplicably, "Your Highness, what the hell is going on?" ”
"Last night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led people to raid Tangru Lane, and arrested a group of people in Tangru Lane, that group of people claimed to be Fire Cultists, led by the person you saw, he said that he was ordered by you, and went around to proclaim that he was the God of Fire who came into the world, and recruited the people to collect money, not to mention, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also found a large number of spells that cursed the national fortune of Longxi Kingdom in his residence." For example, "tyrants are in power", "traitors are in power", "the country is about to die" and the like, Shen Run did not elaborate.
Shen Run's face was calm, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking at all.
Chenguang listened to his words, frowned, his expression became solemn, facing Shen Chong's direction, and said in a loud voice:
"Your Majesty, the Fire Sect is the state religion of the Phoenix Netherworld, and someone so absurdly slanders the state religion of Chenguang's mother country, Chenguang can't stand it. The fire god in the Fire Sect is the supreme existence, even the high-ranking goddess in the Phoenix Underworld is only a slave serving the Fire God, this person actually said that he is the Fire God who came into the world, if this person is in the Phoenix Underworld at this time, the people of the Phoenix Underworld will definitely burn him. It is impossible for a real Fire Cultist to have a beard like him, and His Royal Highness King Rong has gone to the Phoenix Underworld Kingdom, which His Royal Highness King Rong should know very well.
Listening to the meaning of His Royal Highness King Rong, probably this person is saying that I instructed him to curse Long Xiguo, nonsense! Your Majesty, since Chenguang has been with Longxi Kingdom, he is a person from Longxi Kingdom, as a person from Longxi Country, why should I curse the national fortune of Longxi Kingdom? What good will it do me if Long Xiguo is not good? Chenguang, as the royal daughter-in-law, Long Xiguo will be implicated and become bad, even if it is for himself, Chenguang also hopes that Long Xiguo can prosper for a long time. ”
She is telling the truth, originally, the emperor's daughter-in-law, what good is it for her to curse Long Xiguo, if Long Xiguo becomes bad, she will not want to run away from the unlucky person first.
The courtiers began to feel that this accusation was a bit unreliable, and besides, a soft little girl like this did not look like that kind of vicious and scheming evil villain.
Shen Huai saw that someone was shaken, he was furious, and sneered:
"The second brother and sister speak so nicely. Since the second brother and sister don't know, why is this thing in Tangru Alley? ”
