It can be said that Concubine Yue stole chickens and rice, not only faced a difficult situation, but also put the prince Xiao Jingxuan in an embarrassing situation.

Shao Shan and Nihuang County Lord are both powerful figures in the Great Liang court, and they have always been the objects of competition between the two princes, but when such a thing happens, it is equivalent to completely pushing these two real power factions to the side of King Yu, and further afield, if Xiao Jingxuan really ascends the throne in the future, it is not difficult to guess what kind of reaction the north and south will have.

And the ancients have always attached great importance to a person's virtue, no matter what kind of person you are in private, but you must show the due quality in front of people, especially as the prince of a country, it can be said that the people of the whole country are always looking at him, if his virtue and ethics are attacked and criticized, and the evidence is conclusive, then it means that his crown prince has begun to have an unstable foundation, because he is really difficult to convince the public.

It is conceivable that after today, there will be countless impeachment of the crown prince Xiao Jingxuan presented to Emperor Liang, and King Yu will definitely not let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fall into the ground.

With the queen in the vanguard, there was no need for Shao Shan and the Nihuang County Lord to say anything, so the two of them watched this royal farce from the side from beginning to end, as if they had nothing to do with them at all.

At the same time, what happened in the Zhaoren Palace quickly spread out, and the queen didn't want to cover up for Concubine Yue, and even wished to make things as big as possible, so when escorting Concubine Yue, it was completely ostentatious, but now the entire palace has heard about it.

Now Concubine Yue's denial is too weak, even if Emperor Liang wants to cover it up, he can't do it, and the most intolerable thing for Emperor Liang is that someone dares to hide from him and play tricks behind his back.

Soon, several personal female officials of the Yue Guifei of Zhaoren Palace were brought to the front of the emperor, and the pressure of the emperor's personal trial can be imagined, although these female officials also wanted to maintain their loyalty to the Yue Guifei, gritted their teeth and refused to confide the truth, but after Emperor Liang killed two people with a cane one after another, the remaining female officials no longer had the courage to persevere, after all, between loyalty and life, it was more important to live their own lives.

When the female official revealed all the plans she knew about Concubine Yue, Concubine Yue was already paralyzed on the ground weakly, and the crown prince Xiao Jingxuan was already so frightened that the six gods had no master.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have been wronged!" Concubine Yue suddenly threw herself to the ground.

Emperor Liang slapped the table and glared at Concubine Yue angrily: "At this time, you still have to shout grievances, are you old and confused?" ”

"No, no, the concubine is not wronged, it is the prince who is wronged!" Concubine Yue hurriedly argued, "The prince doesn't know anything, everything is the concubine's plan alone!" ”

Emperor Liang glanced at the prince who was very embarrassed, and his anger disappeared slightly.

Concubine Yue begged again and again: "Your Majesty, you know, the prince is pure and filial by nature, he can't do this kind of thing, it's because he doesn't know how to protect himself, I will do so much for him, I am afraid that he will be deceived by people with evil intentions, I am heartbroken for him, I want the people around him to support him a little more, be more thoughtful, so as not to be plotted by others!" ”

"Nonsense, the crown prince is the prince of the prince, how can anyone dare to plot!" Emperor Liang snorted coldly, "As his mother's concubine, you should have taught him to be good at cultivating virtue and government, sharing the worries of his father and the emperor, and setting an example for his subjects, but look at what you have done?" ”

Concubine Yue knew that it was useless to deny it at this time, and she just wanted to take all the blame on herself to protect the crown prince Xiao Jingxuan, and she was also worthy of being the person who knew the emperor best.

Emperor Liang is mean and unkind, he will always only care about his majesty and face, and never care about the life or death of others, the more noble concubine said, the prince Xiao Jingxuan was completely portrayed as an innocent person in a vulnerable position, and successfully diverted the attention of Emperor Liang, Emperor Liang will only be angry with him, and will not hold the prince responsible.

And as long as the prince does not fall, Concubine Yue knows that she will have a day to make a comeback, and this day will not be too long, I have to say that Concubine Yue has a good calculation.

Emperor Liang also seemed to be much older in an instant, returned to the upper position, and announced weakly: "Spread my will, Sima Lei entered the inner courtyard without permission, and died innocently, Sima Xu has no way to teach his son, strip off the official title, demote him to a commoner, and he will not be hired for life!" ”

"Father, father, ......" Prince Xiao Jingxuan quickly climbed to the feet of Emperor Liang, crying and pleading, "Father, for the sake of the mother concubine for so many years, please ask your father to spare your mother, please ask your father to be merciful, my son is willing to make amends to the county lord on behalf of my mother!" ”

"Evil obstacles, your mother has done such a foolish thing, why don't you dissuade it?" Emperor Liang hated iron and said with no steel.

Shao Shan listened to Emperor Liang's words, pursed his lips disdainfully, as soon as Emperor Liang's words came out, he set the tone for this matter, that is, the prince has nothing to do with this matter at all, and the intention of protection is obvious.

The crown prince Xiao Jingxuan wisely didn't make any arguments, but just cried blindly: "Please be gracious to my father, there is only this one concubine!" ”

Emperor Liang sighed, so far his anger has completely disappeared, but the identity of the Nihuang County Lord and Shao Shan is extraordinary after all, and he must give an explanation: "The Yue family has no virtue, despicable behavior, and it is difficult to be tolerated by the palace rules. ”

"The concubine is grateful!" Concubine Yue knelt down to receive the order, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

In the final analysis, Emperor Liang's punishment of Concubine Yue was just a small punishment and a big admonition, and the prince had nothing to do, which can also see Emperor Liang's attitude.

The only one who is really unlucky is the Taiwei Sima Xu family, whose son died tragically inexplicably, and Sima Xu lost his official position and had no way to redress his grievances, which can be described as a veritable scapegoat, which is also Emperor Liang's explanation to the Nihuang County Lord and Shao Shan.

Shao Shan had expected this, and he didn't expect to completely overthrow the prince and Yue Guifei this time, and now that he has overthrown the prince and let King Yu stand out, there is no substantial benefit to Shao Shan, and the Nihuang county lord also calmly accepts such a result, she has already seen through the deceit in the palace over the years, and has seen through the temperament of Emperor Liang, so she can't be disappointed at this time.

"Nihuang is innocent of you this time, fortunately there were no accidents!" Emperor Liang looked at Nihuang and Shao Shan, and said comfortingly, "Since the two of you are still getting along, after the son-in-law selection conference is over, I will personally give you a marriage!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shao Shan and the Nihuang County Lord bowed in unison and saluted. 10
