Chapter 39: The Identity Questioned
Zhao Qingcheng put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "Just because of these few times, you can make an assertion?!。 He neither denied nor affirmed Qian Yuanzhuo's words.
However, Xu Burao seemed to smell the deep meaning of Zhao Qingcheng's words, and hurriedly changed camps. "The prince is newly married, why did he come to the outer room?! It is even more impossible to confidante, you must know that the prince has always been clean. Qian Gongzi should not assert himself. ”
Xu Burao's words of "grass on the wall" made Qian Yuanzhuo very unhappy, he glared at Xu Bulao, and then said: "Although the prince is newly married, he is not as newlywed as he imagined. It's no wonder that anyone who marries a mediocre-looking, stupid and sluggish woman will not be happy. However, this is a marriage contract that was made when the emperor was alive, and the prince can only accept it gladly even if he is not happy. He paused, and then said: "It is said that a man should marry a virtuous man when he marries a wife, but just imagine how virtuous and virtuous a woman who can't even do the minimum of husband and wife happiness." It's better not to marry such a woman! Qian Yuanzhuo looked at Zhao Qingcheng who was speechless, and admitted that every word had poked Zhao Qingcheng's sore spot, and his heart was very happy, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became.
"Presumptuous!" Ye Xizhi couldn't bear it, and he stopped Qian Yuanzhuo from speaking.
"Ye Gongzi, it doesn't have to be like this. There is no disrespect for the prince, but he is just humiliating for the prince. I also want to use this to prove that even if the prince has an outer room, it is human nature, and it is a matter of course to say that there are one or two confidants. ”
Ye Xizhi wanted to retort, but after receiving Zhao Qingcheng's hint, he didn't say anything more, and flicked his sleeves angrily.
Zhao Qing took over the conversation, his tone was neither salty nor light, and he couldn't see his joy or anger. "I don't know that your privy council is so concerned about the affairs of this king's palace, but I don't know where you got this news."
"Don't misunderstand, I heard it from others."
"Really?" Zhao Qingcheng looked sideways at Li Weixi, "Princess, what do you think?" ”
As soon as these words came out, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone present threw their stunned eyes at Li Weixi.
Especially Liu Rumeng. In fact, when Xu Bulao revealed that "Zhou Tong" was a woman disguised as a man, Liu Rumeng knew that this "Zhou Tong" was the woman who rescued her in front of Xunhuan Pavilion that day. It's just that Liu Rumeng never thought that this woman who repeatedly rescued her was the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, the current Princess Yan, and Zhao Qingcheng's wife-Li did not regret it! What surprised her the most was that with her identity and position, why did she want to help her? What is the purpose of this Princess Yan?
Li did not hesitate to ignore everyone's stunned, "It seems that the prince's punishment is still lighter, and Qian Gongzi did not take it as a warning." She knew that if she didn't reveal her identity now, it would be difficult to move forward with the matter.
As soon as Li Weixi finished following Zhao Qingcheng's words, Chen Fuyin took the lead in recovering from his stunnedness, he hurriedly got up and stammered, and changed his previous attitude towards Li Weixi's salute and greeting; Even Liu Rumeng was unusual, neither angry nor resentful, but smiled at Li Weiwei, which was intriguing; Xu Bulao even regretted not being at the beginning when he learned that Li Wei's identity was not at the beginning, and he didn't dare to make another attempt. Now I just ask for a lot of this princess, don't care about the unbearable bastard words he said before.
Qian Yuanzhuo didn't seem to have come to his senses, and muttered in his mouth: "Impossible, how can she be Princess Yan!" ”
"Could it be that this king will still deceive you?!" Zhao Qingcheng picked up the teacup, scooped the tea leaves on it with the lid of the cup, and said unhurriedly: "The 'unknown origin' you said before, and then said that her appearance was mediocre, and this stupid and sluggish person was Princess Yan who was hand-picked by the first emperor, the queen mother's decree, and the emperor's marriage!" He took a sip of tea, raised his eyes, and his cold eyes shot straight at Qian Yuanzhuo. It is disrespectful to commit such a crime! This is the reason why this king has just slapped your mouth, what else do you have to say? ”
Qian Yuanzhuo was frightened into a cold sweat by Zhao Qingcheng's eyes, and his mouth was still unconvinced, "The so-called ignorant is not guilty!" Wang Ye Mingjian, we didn't mean to slander and slander Princess Yan, but we heard that Princess Yan was suffering from a stubborn disease, so we were offended. What is the sin? ”
"The children of the powerful, hearsay, false rumors, slander the emperor's relatives and relatives in the public court." Li didn't hesitate to raise his eyes slightly, and glanced at Qian Yuanzhuo, who suddenly felt a chill, "Young Master Qian, so you dare to say that you are not guilty?!" ”
Zhao Qingcheng sat on the chair with his head down and fiddled with the jade wrench in his hand, and then said without hesitation: "This king thinks of Ling Zun's face, today is just a small punishment and a big commandment. You have to do it yourself. ”
Hearing this, even though Qian Yuanzhuo still had grievances in his heart, he couldn't find words to refute for a while, so he stood aside resentfully and stopped talking.
Ye Xizhi saw that Zhao Qingcheng had no intention of pursuing responsibility from Qian Yuanzhuo, so he took the opportunity to get back to the topic, "Lord Fu Yin, do you think this Princess Yan is qualified to sue for others?" ”
"It's nature! It's natural. Chen Baiyuan hurriedly responded, he already felt that this woman must be extraordinary, but now that he knew that she was Princess Yan, where would he dare to offend, he would agree.
"Since that's the case, let's bother Lord Chen to re-ascend." Ye Xizhi was anxious to help Liu Rumeng solve Qian Yuanzhuo, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
"Yes, yes, yes." Although Chen Fuyin catered to Ye Xizhi's words on his face, he looked at Zhao Qingcheng as soon as he turned around, and after getting his approval, he looked at Qian Yuanzhuo again, and saw that he had no objections, so he was a little relieved. After all, he can't afford to offend any of the families in the hall.
Chen Fuyin adjusted his sitting posture, "Which one is the plaintiff?" ”
Chen Fuyin was re-promoted to the court for interrogation, but no one answered, and the atmosphere in the hall was quite embarrassing.
"Master Xu?" The master on the side reminded.
Qian Yuanzhuo was displeased, and nudged Xu Burao, "Speak!" ”
"Mr. Qian, I am afraid that it will be difficult to sue for you again when I suddenly feel unwell, I hope you will forgive me." Xu Burao lowered his head humbly and didn't dare to look at Qian Yuanzhuo, and hurriedly bowed to Qian Yuanzhuo and wanted to leave.
Qian Yuanzhuo grabbed Xu Burao, lowered his voice and said, "I'll double the price!" ”
Xu Bulao secretly glanced at Zhao Qingcheng, and then looked at Li Weixi, his head shaking like a rattle. "Mr. Qian, the silver villain you prepaid will be returned in full. Today's villain is really more than enough and not enough, so he will come to apologize another day. Although Xu Burao is greedy for money, he is even more desperate for his life, he doesn't want to have money to spend. Although this is a bit too much, it is really not cost-effective for Xu Burao to offend King Yan Mansion and Prime Minister's Mansion for the sake of Qian Yuanzhuo's silver. What's more, in view of the current situation in court, nine times out of ten, this lawsuit is lost; In this way, it will also ruin his winning record and the reputation of the first division in the capital; It can be seen that if he stays, it will really do more harm than good, and Xu Bulao will naturally find an excuse to slip away.
"Useless stuff! Get lost! Qian Yuanzhuo was angry, and Xu Burao's meaning couldn't be more obvious. He kicked at Xu Burao, who crawled out of the court without looking back.
"Lord Wang, this Xu Master is gone, should we give Mr. Qian some time for him to invite another teacher?" Chen Fuyin looked at Zhao Qingcheng's eyes and probed his mouth, "Why don't we try it another day, what do you think?" ”
Chen Baiyuan obviously wanted to help Qian Yuanzhuo, but in fact, he was playing his own little Jiujiu. He knew that this lawsuit seemed simple on the surface, and it was nothing more than Qian Yuanzhuo picking up provocations and robbing people, but the article behind this appearance was worth studying.
In the final analysis, it is really unreasonable for a girl in Xunhuan Pavilion to work so hard, and it is the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Yan Wang's Mansion. What's even more incredible is that Princess Yan, who had just married into King Yan's mansion not long ago, actually participated in it! Speaking of this Princess Yan, Chen Baiyuan naturally knew that she was the stupid young lady from the Hou Mansion, but now it seems that it is not like that; Not only are we not stupid and can speak well, but there are still some secrets in this that no one knows. There are many questions about this incident, how can Chen Baiyuan easily come to a conclusion. He was not interested in the case itself, but the essence of the case was what Chen Bai originally wanted to explore. Therefore, he wanted to withdraw from the court and choose a day for retrial on the grounds of letting Qian Yuanzhuo find a teacher, and the purpose was to explore one or two during this period. Perhaps something could be used to turn the corner, but it is not known.
"No, this son will sue in person!"
