Chapter 294: In the Palace (9)
Xiao Mingzi nodded after hearing this, "County master, the slave remembers"
"Then hurry up!"
"Yes" Xiao Mingzi ran away in a puff of smoke, he was in a hurry to complete the task assigned by the eldest prince!
Wan Yujia saw that this person was gone, and when she turned her head, she saw the emperor's sedan chair.
The sedan chair stopped, she pretended to be ignorant and looked over, and then she saw the emperor in his forties and fifties walking down from inside.
This person is dressed in bright yellow, wearing a golden crown, thick eyebrows and big eyes, eyes like torches, a rigorous face, not angry and arrogant, and he looks too much with Brother Chu Ye, although he has such a rigorous appearance, Wan Yujia does not feel afraid at all, and hurriedly bows to the emperor with a surprised face.
The emperor's face was not very good-looking, so he walked straight over and said in a majestic tone, "When did the county lord of Xiaoxiang come?" ”
"Your Majesty, the maiden only came here yesterday, and she also came to visit the emperor yesterday, but the grandfather said that you are busy, so Yujia will go back to her aunt if you are inconvenient to disturb" Wan Yujia replied in a flat tone.
The emperor continued: "Lord Xiaoxiang, who were you talking to just now?" ”
Wan Yujia said resignedly, "Yes...... It's the eunuch Xiao Mingzi next to the eldest prince's cousin."
After hearing this, the emperor's tone changed: "You come in first and call me back!" Tell me about it."
"Yes," Wan Yujia said hurriedly.
When she followed the emperor into the imperial study, she knelt down on her own, and she had now guessed that the emperor must be angry, but she didn't know if he would be angry with her.
After thinking carefully in her heart, even if my aunt knew that it was not her fault for this matter today, after all, it was the eldest prince who asked her to do this.
The emperor sat at the jade table, slapped his big palm angrily, and said, "Say, what were you talking about with the eunuch named Xiao Mingzi there just now?" Tell me more details, and be careful of my sin if you are a little deceitful."
Wan Yujia pretended to be afraid and trembled and told her what he had told her when she met the eldest prince last night, and then told her about meeting the little eunuch today, and after she said these words, she asked the emperor again, begging him not to tell her aunt about this, for fear that her aunt would beat her and punish her if she knew that she had spoken ill of the eldest prince, and she was also afraid that the eldest prince would know about this and punish her" Wan Yujia actually cried at the end, and said while crying, "Your Majesty, what the maiden said alone is not credible, maybe the maiden misunderstood the meaning of the eldest prince's cousin, and I don't know, If the emperor wants to know what the truth is, he can send someone to investigate on his own, and then what will happen will be known as soon as he investigates."
The more the emperor listened there, the more angry he became, and in the end he actually stiffened the pen in his hand and broke it.
Wan Yujia continued: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, if this matter is true, then this shows the true thoughts of the eldest prince's cousin at this time!" And that's what he said the truth."
It's good that she didn't say this, but as soon as she said this, the emperor was so angry that he picked up the folds and inkstones around him and fell to the ground and said: "Yes, you are right, this is what he really thinks, a prince who can't do anything and can't even understand learning, what's the use of me not wanting him?" Not to mention inheriting the throne like this, it's not even worthy of being a prince."
Wan Yujia wanted to say at this time whether they are worthy or not, aren't they all your sons? There are also good sons who want to go out, this is the reward for you to drive out your excellent son, God can't stand it. Brother Ye is ten million times better than the eldest prince, but you can't look down on him without beads in your eyes.
She said there: "Your Majesty, you want to have nothing to do, the people's daughter is going to retire, the people's daughter is afraid that her aunt will find her if she doesn't go back for so long, and the matter of the people's daughter asking Xiao Mingzi to call the eldest prince is going to spread out, and the people's daughter will be punished by the queen's aunt today, the emperor remembers to keep it secret from the people's daughter, the people's daughter didn't say anything about this matter today, you found it yourself"
The emperor looked at her there, and wondered whether he had deliberately said this to the county lord, but the frightened look of the person in front of him was not like it, but to say that this person was really afraid of talking in front of him, was it pretending, but it was impossible for the county lord of Xiaoxiang to say bad things about the eldest prince, it seems that he has to go to check whether this matter is true or false today. 、
In that way: "Today's matter, the main Xiaoxiang County is untrustworthy, be careful to cure your sin"
Wan Yujia knelt there and kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, you want me to talk about this today, besides, the folk girl just told the truth, and did not fill the oil and vinegar, the folk girl was afraid of the eldest prince's cousin, so dare to say bad things about him behind his back, the things described by the folk girl are not the slightest false, in fact, the folk girl also hopes that the eldest prince's cousin can learn well."
"Okay, you step back first, if that's not the case, I won't punish you lightly if you wait."
"Yes" Wan Yujia bowed and retreated, and walked out of the imperial study with a bright heart, thinking that if you want to be punished, you can be punished! But here's what happened, and you'll be able to see it sooner or later.
What I had been thinking about last night didn't take much effort to get it done, if it wasn't for the eldest prince telling Xiao Mingzi to tell her that she really wouldn't have been able to do it, who would have thought that the emperor would see the weakness of the eldest prince so soon!
This prince has always fantasized that the eldest prince is the crown prince, but he didn't expect that he was a bad guy, he deserved it, and it was time for him to take a good look at it.
ruthlessly drove away Brother Chu Ye, leaving such a son, he deserved it too much, he should be responsible for what he did, and he should be punished.
Wan Yujia kept relieving her hatred and complaining about the emperor in her heart, no one knew how much she complained about the emperor in her heart, but she couldn't tell others what she said.
Now she is relieved of her hatred, and the emperor of the secret path suffers by herself and deserves it.
She came out of the emperor's imperial study, thinking about what she should say when she came to her aunt in a while, whether she had to tell her aunt this first, or hide it like this.
She didn't say if the emperor would say it!
Later, when I thought that the emperor would definitely not, as soon as I said it, it would be known to everyone, so the emperor would definitely secretly wait for the truth to be investigated.
When she came to the imperial study to talk to Xiao Mingzi today, the people near her couldn't hear it, and only the emperor in the distance could hear it clearly.
Those who accompanied the emperor all the way were people around the emperor, and they would never tell the queen about it.
So she made up her mind that if her aunt didn't realize it, she wouldn't tell her aunt what the emperor knew about the eldest prince today.
If the emperor wants the eldest prince to become the next monarch, he will not spread the word about this.
Unless he wants to pull the eldest prince off the horse and prevent him from succeeding him, but the emperor will not let the eldest prince succeed him!
The biggest and most suitable prince in the palace is the eldest prince, and the most important thing is that he was born to the queen, and he is a serious descendant of the main palace, and this noble bloodline is a lot higher than others.
So what she said today will not be known to outsiders.
