CHAPTER XXII
"What's going on?" As soon as the door of the main hall opened, Long Yuechen saw that there was a mess outside.
Long Jinpeng was looking at He Lanyao, who seemed to be frightened by his eldest son, and his eyes were full of tears. And his unsuccessful fourth son, Long Jinyu, smiled without any image. Even Long Haoran had a faint smile on his face. The most excessive thing is that the crown princess is lying on the ground on all fours.
"Father." As soon as Helan Yao saw the emperor, he immediately bent his knees.
"Why don't you quickly help the crown princess up and lie on the ground." Long Yuechen's eyes turned to Long Jinpeng and said sharply. Long Jinpeng replied, and with a dark face, he helped He Lanting, who had made his father unhappy, up.
"Did the prince bully you?" Long Yuechen saw He Lanting, who had tears in the corners of her eyes, asked with concern.
"Ladies don't cry." Long Shaoyan's cough finally stopped, who knew that as soon as he left the hall, he saw his favorite lady, crying with tears in the corners of her eyes. Long Shaoyan was distressed and wanted to wipe the tears on He Lanyao's face with his hand, but he suddenly thought that He Lanyao hated him touching her face the most, and his hand froze in the air.
Long Shaoyan tilted his head and thought carefully for a while, then handed over his sleeve, "Lady, Shao Shao's sleeves are very clean, the lady wiped her tears with Shao Shao's sleeve." ”
He Lanyao took Long Shaoyan's sleeve and wiped her face at random, thinking to herself: Is she infected by her super crying father-in-law, tears actually come so easily.
"Father, I don't." As soon as Long Jinpeng heard that the emperor had misunderstood him, he immediately explained, and by the way, he glared at He Lanting, who was aggrieved. I didn't take her out if I knew it earlier, and I only knew that I was ashamed all day long.
"I want to listen to Yao'er's explanation." Long Yuechen's big eyes swept Long Jinpeng, and he opened his mouth angrily.
"Father, the crown prince didn't bully me." He Lanyao glanced at the prince in the distance, who was a little helpless on his face, and said.
"Father, you don't know, it's all because He Lanyao beat me rudely, that's why the prince murdered her. All this is Helan Yao's fault. He Lanting, who didn't know how many tears had flowed but had been ignored, finally spoke unwillingly, her voice was sharp and thin, with resentment and unwillingness, so that everyone present couldn't help but want to cover their ears.
It's just that I'm afraid that there is someone on the field who wants to cover not only his ears, but a certain woman's mouth.
"So, Long Jinpeng, did you bully your younger siblings?" Long Yuechen automatically ignored He Lanyao's foreshadowing, and focused all his attention on the sentence that the prince would murder her.
"Father, no." Helan Yao pondered for a moment what seemed to be a weak opening.
"Yao'er doesn't have to be afraid of the prince, with her father behind your back, no one dares to bully you, so let's talk about what happened just now." Long Yuechen looked at He Lanyao with kind eyes, and his eyes were encouraging.
"Father," He Lanting looked at all this in front of her with dissatisfaction, why was the prince not as favored as that fool, why was He Lanyao so favored by the emperor after only one day in the palace? Why is it that she is the one who was beaten, but she has to endure the white eyes of her husband and father-in-law, while they are all blue-eyed to Helan Yao?
"He Lanyao hit me, and half of my face was swollen." Indeed, the swollen left half of He Lanting's face contrasts with the right half of Long Jinyu's face.
Long Yuechen asked He Lanyao what was going on with his eyes. The inexplicable favor in Long Yuechen's eyes made Helan Yao's heart tremble, especially Long Shaoyan was just a fool but he received more favor than anyone else, and even with her, the waste sixth lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion who should have been bullied everywhere, was so valued.
When things go wrong, there must be demons, Helan Yao lowered her eyes, and said truthfully: "The crown princess insulted her husband, I didn't hold back, and I did it." ”
"Is that so? Prince. Long Yuechen's gaze pressed on the prince.
"Yes, Father." Long Jinpeng knew that now the emperor was bent on He Lanyao, and all his explanations were probably excuses in the eyes of the emperor. If he continues to explain, it will only cause the emperor to be more dissatisfied with him, so it is better to confess his guilt according to He Lanyao's words. Long Jinpeng immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded: "Ting'er didn't mean to, I still hope that my father will be gracious." ”
