Chapter 197: Argument and Rebuttal

That Concubine Wu didn't expect the Queen Mother to reprimand herself, so she reluctantly closed her mouth and took a step back.

Seeing that the Queen Mother seemed to have listened to Sima Hongyan's words, the Queen Mother hurriedly kowtowed and begged: "Queen Mother, don't listen to this little slut's nonsense, this matter has nothing to do with the concubines, and please ask the Queen Mother to learn from it." ”

The Queen Mother sneered, glared at Sima Hongyan, and said to the queen: "This little girl has always had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, but the mourning family has been taught, how can she be easily fooled by her, you get up!" ”

Only then did the queen put her mind at ease, got up and stood aside, glaring at Sima Hongyan angrily, but she didn't dare to speak anymore.

At this time, the Queen Mother ordered: "Come! Call Ze'er in! A eunuch answered.

Yan Ze was just outside the door, and when he heard the call, he immediately came in with the eunuch to salute the queen mother. When he saluted, he also peeked at Sima Hongyan, and saw that Sima Hongyan's face was scarred and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, so he couldn't help but smile.

It just so happened that this sneer was full of Sima Hongyan's eyes, and she said angrily in her heart: "It seems that today's incident has nothing to do with him." Good boy, you wait, just go out alive and see how I clean you up when I turn around! ”

Yan Ze saluted and asked the Queen Mother: "I don't know what the Queen Mother called Ze'er?" ”

The Queen Mother pointed at Sima Hongyan and said, "Didn't you see her come to see the emperor late at night last night, and the emperor fell ill after she left." But now she is pretending to be stupid and saying that she doesn't know why she was arrested, so you can tell her everything you know, so that she can't deny it. ”

Yan Zezhi, who said this from the Queen Mother, frowned, and said in her heart, Queen Mother, you are really here, don't you directly tell Sima Hongyan that I am the one who testifies against her. Thinking so in his heart, he subconsciously peeked at Sima Hongyan. Who knew that Sima Hongyan was also looking at him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face seemed to be smiling.

This smile made Yan Ze's heart sink, and he hurriedly gathered his mind and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, last night was Ze'er's night patrol, Sima Hongyan entered the palace to see the emperor at the second watch, and stayed in the imperial study for nearly an hour before leaving. After that, the emperor returned to Longyang Palace to sleep, who knew that he would be ill today, and the imperial doctor was helpless after diagnosis. Because the emperor had only seen Sima Hongyan alone before he fell ill, Ze'er thought that this Sima Hongyan must have used some means to plot against the emperor last night! ”

After Yan Ze finished speaking, the Queen Mother Senran asked Sima Hongyan, "What?" What else do you have to say? ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, the courtiers have something to say!" I entered the palace last night because of the urgent military situation and the secret performance of the emperor. At this time, it coincided with the Five Nations Competition, and the other four countries were eyeing our Yanling. The emperor once ordered his courtiers to report to the emperor as soon as they found any changes in the four kingdoms, and to enter the palace late at night to face the saints was also for the courtiers to follow the emperor's will. ”

Yan Ze retorted to her at this time and said: "It's just your words, there were only you and the emperor in the imperial study last night, and the emperor fell ill after seeing you, is this just a coincidence?" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Just like the second prince said, when the emperor is sick, everyone will indeed be the first to suspect me." If others can think of it, don't I understand this truth? How stupid do I have to be to do such a brainless thing? This is obviously someone taking the opportunity to frame me and blame me. The emperor has always treated me leniently and entrusted me with important tasks, so what reason do I have to harm the emperor? It just doesn't make sense. ”

Yan Ze said: "It is also possible that you did it on purpose, knowing that you couldn't do it." ”

Sima Hongyan sneered and said, "Joke! People do bad things with a purpose. The courtiers and the emperor have no enmity and no grudges, but they also get a lot of grace from the emperor, may I ask the second prince, why do I want to harm the emperor to ruin his future? ”

"Presumptuous!" Yan Ze said angrily: "Even if it's not you, but the emperor's murder can't be separated from you, if it weren't for you, how could the emperor suffer this catastrophe?" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "The second prince must have evidence when he speaks, you don't even know what disease the emperor has or what injuries he has suffered, why do you say that it must have something to do with me?" Listening to the meaning of the second prince, why does it seem that I have to be involved in the guilt before I am reconciled? ”

Yan Ze really didn't have any evidence against Sima Hongyan, but he was a little annoyed by Sima Hongyan's argument, and he said angrily: "If you can't find the root cause, you will naturally have the biggest suspicion, but it's not something I can deduct from you." ”

Sima Hongyan said: "That's good! Please ask the queen mother for permission, the courtiers want to see for themselves what kind of illness the emperor has! ”

At this time, the queen immediately said to the queen mother: "The queen mother must not agree!" This slut has no good intentions, and if she goes to see the emperor at this time, it is hard to guarantee that she will not poison the emperor again! ”

Sima Hongyan knew very well that every decision of the Queen Mother at this time was related to her life and death, and at this time, where did she care about her identity, and said directly to the queen: "Please think about it before you speak, if the courtiers want to harm the emperor, then why bother doing more?" What the second prince said just now is very clear, the emperor's illness and the imperial doctors are helpless, and the courtiers don't have to do anything. The courtiers want to see the emperor, whether they want to find out what kind of disease the emperor has, and if there is a way, it is important to save the emperor first. As long as the emperor is okay, it is up to the conclusion whether the courtiers are guilty or not. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to think of a way to save the emperor. ”

The queen was flushed by Sima Hongyan, and cried to the queen mother: "Queen Mother, this slut dares to reprimand the concubine, your old man wants to be the master of the concubine!" ”

Hearing Sima Hongyan say that she wanted to save the emperor, how could the queen mother care about the queen's complaints, she asked Sima Hongyan very solemnly: "What?" Do you have a way to save the emperor? ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Back to the Queen Mother, let the courtiers go to see the emperor's symptoms, otherwise the courtiers will waste their time here even if they have a way." The sooner you save people, the better, and when the emperor is really good, it's not too late to track down who the murderer is. ”

The Queen Mother listened to Sima Hongyan's words, and she couldn't make up her mind for a while. At this time, the imperial doctor hurriedly ran over and said urgently: "Queen Mother! Dowager! The emperor, the emperor, he ......"

The Queen Mother was so frightened that she jumped up from the dragon couch and asked in a panic, "What's wrong with him, Your Majesty?" ”

The imperial doctor said helplessly: "The emperor's breathing is getting weaker and weaker, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's ......."

Before the imperial doctor could finish speaking, suddenly the door of the inner hall was knocked open, Yan Hong walked in quickly, and said to the queen mother: "Queen Mother, the situation of my father and emperor is not quite right, and the son seems to have thought of a possibility." ”

The Queen Mother was already a little master of the six gods at the moment, and when she heard Yan Hong's words, she asked casually, "What is possible?" What do you mean by that? ”

When Yan Hong came in, he saw Sima Hongyan kneeling, and then found that she had injuries on her face and blood on the corners of her mouth. was immediately furious, and didn't bother to answer the queen mother's question, and swept everyone in the room one by one with a pair of eagle-like eyes. Anyone who looked at him couldn't help but avoid it, especially the queen didn't dare to look at him when Yan Hong entered the house, and her body was still trembling slightly at this time.

The Queen Mother thought that Yan Hong had always cared about this Sima Hongyan, and when she saw her being beaten, she even put aside the matter of his father, so she couldn't help but be a little angry, and said hurriedly: "Hong'er, I beat the person." As long as you can save your father, the mourning family will be at your disposal! ”

Yan Hong suppressed his anger, helped Sima Hongyan up, grabbed the shackles that Sima Hongyan was carrying, and pulled the chain hard, and broke the chain when he landed. Yan Hong threw it on the ground casually and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, Erchen just has some guesses, but if Erchen guesses well, then I am afraid that she is the only one who can save his father!" As he spoke, he looked at Sima Hongyan beside him.

At this time, the Queen Mother still hesitated, and hurriedly said: "Hong'er, hurry up and take Miss Sima to see the emperor, no matter what, you have to save the emperor first, and other things will be talked about later!" ”

Yan Hong gave a salute to the Queen Mother, didn't even look at the others, took Sima Hongyan's hand and went to the inner room. The rest of the people looked at each other, and those who didn't know couldn't imagine why the Nine Emperor Princes, who had always been indifferent, were so angry about this Sima Hongyan.

Being pulled away by Yan Hong, Sima Hongyan felt that the kick on her body was getting more and more painful, but she couldn't help but ask Yan Hong, "Why did you say that just now?" How can I see a doctor? If I can't save the emperor, I have to finish playing, will you help me or hurt me? ”
