Yanxiang's unintentional ridicule made Mei'er nervous.

Mei'er remembered the gossip of the people on the streets and alleys in the past few days.

After the case was tried in Dali Temple a few days ago, some people quietly spread public opinion that was unfavorable to Chu Tiankuo. Many people have theories about Xia He's murder, and the spearhead is unanimously pointed at Chu Tiankuo.

Originally, the murder of Xia He, after the trial of the prefect Fang Hongyi, Lu Hao was determined to be the murderer and sentenced to death.

Later, the case of Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le's partnership to rob a prisoner's car was tried by Duan Zisheng, the secretary of Dali Temple, and the fact of the two of them robbing the prisoner was confirmed. Of course, Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le had pleaded guilty to this, and Lord Duan sentenced the two of them to death.

Later, Shui Mai, the first beauty in Fengcheng, went to Dali Temple to complain, saying that Fang Hongyi had wrongly decided the case and wrongly sentenced Lu Hao to death.

This case can be described as full of twists and turns, confusing, and confusing the people.

However, after another trial, no favorable evidence could be produced to prove Chu Tiankuo's innocence.

So, after the last trial of the case in Dali Temple, the people began to have dissatisfied voices. If you are an ordinary person, if you are convicted, there is almost no possibility of turning over. Why is Chu Tiankuo the crown prince, and the case can be delayed again and again? Can you live well after being sentenced to death?

Moreover, in the last trial of the case, the people participated in the process, and they all saw the death of Father Hou. Everyone had speculation in their hearts, and the voices questioning Chu Tiankuo became louder and louder.

A few days ago, Xiangye instructed his novice Sun Shan to secretly play ghosts. Sun Shan found a group of eloquent people and taught them how to tell right and wrong and instigate the people.

In the end, Sun Shan and the others succeeded in inciting public opinion.

And these, Yanxiang and Dongfanghong have no way of knowing, because they have been staying in the house for the past few days, and the scope of activities is limited to the room.

If Mei'er hadn't come to look for her today, the incense would still be in the dark.

Mer was angry when she thought of the words of the ignorant people. She had been unhappy for several days, but now she finally couldn't help it: "Miss, do you know? In the past few days, the people outside have been in a stir, and they are all talking about this case. They were so angry that I got into a fight with them. ”

Although Mei Erxu talked about it, the cigarette incense was not taken seriously, and she smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" What did the people say? ”

How did she know the seriousness of the matter.

There was a commotion outside, but the cigarette girl hadn't heard of it? Mei'er was stunned for a moment, showed a look of disbelief, and asked in surprise, "Miss, you still don't know about this?" ”

Yanxiang was confused, raised his eyebrows lightly and smiled: "In the past few days, I have been taking care of the other party's eldest brother, his foot is injured and he can't go out." I didn't go outside either. As she spoke, she changed the subject and asked, "What did the people say?" ”

At this time, Dongfang Hong unconsciously appeared behind Yanxiang. His voice came out like a ghost: "Mei'er, what's going on?" ”

His voice sounded a little anxious, and such a sudden question surprised Mei'er. She froze, and the look on her face looked even more nervous.

After three days of bed rest, coupled with Li Chourong's superb medical skills, changing dressings and bandaging, Dongfanghong's foot injury miraculously got almost better.

At this time, Yanxiang was supposed to go to his room to accompany him, but she didn't come. He couldn't hold back. So, he got out of bed to look for cigarettes and found that she was not in the room. He goes out to look for Smoke Fragrance and sees Smoke Fragrance and Meier together.

Ever since the two met, he had been standing aside, probably because the two of them were excited to reunite after a long absence, so they didn't notice his existence.

Just now, he listened to Yanxiang and Mei'er's words word for word.

It was two little girls talking about homely things, and Dongfanghong was not easy to wipe her mouth, so it was inconvenient to disturb. But he was obsessed with the cigarette incense, and when he saw the cigarette incense, he couldn't move his pace, and couldn't help but want to listen to her. So, he stood quietly aside.

Listening to Mei'er talking about the people's discussions, seeing Mei'er's expression flustered, Dongfanghong's heart sank, and he couldn't help asking. At this time, he already had a sense of foreboding in his heart.

But Yanxiang didn't pay attention to Mei'er's words. She saw Dongfang Hong walking on the ground, and said with disgust: "Brother the other party, your foot injury is not healed, why did you come out and walk around." ”

To be honest, Dongfang Hong's foot injury was caused by her, and she felt a little guilty about him. Although it is a blaming tone, it is actually full of care.

Dongfang Hong was very moved, and secretly glanced at the cigarette with affectionate eyes. Then he spoke calmly: "Thanks to Senior Li's medical skills, and thanks to your careful care, my foot injury is almost healed." When I saw that you were not in the room, I thought of coming out to find you. ”

Dongfang Hong's affectionate eyes that glanced at the smoke were captured by Mei'er. She couldn't help but be a little surprised, and a little heartbroken.

The woman's sixth sense made Mei'er mutter. It's only been a while, how did it become like this? Could it be that the cigarette girl is empathetic and don't fall in love?

Otherwise, how can you care more about Dongfanghong's affairs? Originally, the cigarette girl asked the people about their attitude towards the case of the young farmer, but when she saw Dongfanghong, her attention shifted to Dongfanghong.

Mei'er felt uncomfortable, and hugged Chu Tiankuo, the young owner: "Miss, are you two together?" ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Hong's face flushed slightly, and he glanced at the incense of smoke meaningfully.

This Mei'er is really broken! The cigarette didn't get angry, just pretended not to hear.

Probably she acquiesced to Mei'er's misunderstanding. She remembered the thing in her dream, the senior brother and Dongfang Hong were jealous of her, and she wanted to make this come true.

It's just that Yanxiang didn't want to clarify herself, but Meier soon found out that she had misunderstood Yanxiang girl.

Because, then, the smoke came back to the topic: "Mei'er, tell me quickly, what are the people preaching?" "If she wants to be indifferent to the affairs of the senior brother, I'm afraid she won't be able to do it.

The people are so unpleasant to hear. Mei'er couldn't say why she came out, not because she couldn't remember, but because she didn't dare to let go. She was afraid that after she said it, Yiyanxiang's fiery temper would not be able to tolerate it, and it would erupt like a volcano.

Dongfang Hong has a heart for cigarettes, and he is also eager to know. He urged, "What are the rumors out there?" ”

Meier pursed her lips with a look of embarrassment. She glanced at the cigarette and then looked down at the ground. The voice was so small that only I could hear it clearly: "Miss, I don't dare to say it." ”

Looking at her like that, it looks like a prisoner who has been forced to confess.

Yanxiang and Dongfanghong listened attentively to Mei'er's words, but they heard Mei'er's words clearly.

Seeing Mei'er hiding like this, Yanxiang's curiosity was aroused. She looked fierce and hummed: "Say! The words are spoken by the people, and not by you. You're just learning words, what are you afraid of! ”

Mei'er gave Yanxiang a preventive injection in advance: "Miss, don't be angry after hearing this!" ”

Yanxiang was a little impatient and urged: "Say it quickly! You've always talked a lot, isn't it uncomfortable to hold you back like this? Hurry up, don't mother-in-law. You're like the Mei'er I know. ”

Mei'er is really ridiculous, when her eyebrows are burned, the smoke girl actually has the leisure to joke with her.

However, she had to admit that the cigarette girl was right. If she didn't say anything, she really couldn't do it. She was so entangled, not because she didn't want to say it, just to make the cigarette girl have some psychological preparation, so that she wouldn't crook her nose when she heard it.

"Okay, I say, I say." Mei'er's expression gradually became solemn and began to speak.

Yanxiang and Dongfanghong looked attentive and listened.

After a few moments, Mei'er began to spit and talk about the rumors of the people outside. She has always loved gossip, but this matter is related to her most beloved young owner, so she can't treat it as gossip. She couldn't pull herself out, and she inevitably added her own personal touch to the narrative.

The more he listened to the cigarette, the more angry he became, and his displeasure was written on his face, and his face gradually became difficult to see.

She understood the general meaning of what Mei'er said, and the people outside were scrambling to speak ill of the senior brother, and public opinion was one-sided.

According to May, what she distilled was roughly like this:

The people said that the senior brother had violated the law of the country, but because of the prince's status as a strong backer, Dali Siqing did not dare to judge the case, and the case dragged on and on.

The people said that the elder brother did evil, abandoned his fiancée, killed people, set fires and robbed prisoner cars.

The people said that Duan Zisheng, the secretary of Dali Temple, in order to increase his official position and become a knight, curry favor with the emperor, and finally forgive the sins of the senior brother.

The people said that someone had good intentions, and in order to frame Xiangye, he fabricated a fake blood letter, and forced the innocent Hou Lao to death.

The people said that they should try the case fairly, and they should not favor favoritism because the senior brother is the prince.

The people said that the case should be closed early, and they watched it with wide eyes, demanding that the case be tried quickly and that the prince's crime be punished according to the law.

Not a word of kindness came out of the mouths of the people.

In short, it can be summed up in one sentence: "The senior brother is a wicked person, he is guilty, and the prime minister is framed, and he asks to close the case quickly and deal with the crime of the senior brother."

Mei'er was still talking about it, and her cigarette lungs were about to explode: "Pig!! ”

She was so angry that she blurted out the word 'pig'. Apart from this, she couldn't think of a better way to describe those people for a while.

It is said that the eyes of the masses are bright, but how can the people be blinded by lard?

Mei'er stopped the topic, her tone changed, and her face showed a rather aggrieved look: "Miss, why are you scolding me!" ”

Don't get angry?

In the first year of Xingde, Hong Gaode proclaimed himself emperor, established the Great Western Kingdom, and set the capital of Fengcheng. In the early days of the establishment of the regime, the surrounding countries were eyeing the Great Western Kingdom and provoked wars for no reason. Before the expedition, Xu Guifei, the mother of Xigong, was 8 months pregnant. The emperor proposed an edict, if the prince was born, he would be named Hong Chengye, and the prince would be established, and if he was born a princess, he would be crowned Princess Changyu.

After Emperor Hong left the palace, Queen Xia made a plan to let Xu Guifei slip the fetus, who knows, the sky did not fulfill her wish, and the fetus in Xu Guifei's womb was born, and it actually survived.

"Your Majesty has already doted on Concubine Xu, and now, she has given birth to a prince again, and I see that our master and queen throne will not be able to be kept."

"Isn't it? Listening to the palace maid in the West Palace, the prince was born white and fat, very cute, his face resembled His Majesty, there was a righteousness between his eyebrows, and he must be a good emperor when he grows up. ”

This is the little palace maid in the queen's palace whispering in private.

Even if they don't talk about it, the Empress Xia knows that if she doesn't try to get rid of the prince, I'm afraid that life won't be better in the future.

She immediately summoned her elder brother Xiangye and Chu Xiang, the head of the imperial guard, to discuss countermeasures. They plotted to burn down the West Palace, which was carried out by General Chu.

At the critical moment, General Chu gave up the idea of harming the prince and exchanged his own son for the prince's exit from the palace.

Xu Guifei cried and cried, turned her heart sideways, picked up the hairpin, and used the tip of the hairpin to tattoo the word "heaven" on the prince's left shoulder. The stab is in the child's body, the pain is in the mother's heart, and after the stabbing is finished, Xu Guifei's painful liver and intestines are broken. She trembled and hung a jade pendant on the crown prince, which was given by the emperor himself, and there is only one in the world today.

Concubine Xu Guifei kowtowed to Chu Xiang, and said with tears in her eyes, "General Chu, please accept my three bows, your great kindness and great virtue, this palace will repay it in the next life." ”

"Niangniang, you can't help it, please get up ...... quickly" As he spoke, he heard footsteps outside, General Chu picked up the prince and hurriedly fled through the side door.

Xu Guifei fainted.

The person who came was the imperial doctor Feng Nanyang. Legend has it that this person was originally a man in the rivers and lakes, and his nickname was the fortune teller. He can pinch and calculate, not only has excellent medical skills, but also has extraordinary martial arts. He took away General Chu's son, performed light skills, shuttled freely in the palace, easily got rid of the pursuit of the palace guards, and left the city safely.

After Xia, he ordered people to burn down the West Palace, and Xu Guifei and a cadre were buried in the fire. During the inventory of the body, it was found that the body of a baby was missing. Plus General Chu Xiang's whereabouts are unknown. Empress Xia and Xiangye concluded that the prince was most likely taken away by Chu Xiang. So, Empress Xia secretly sent people to hunt down and kill General Chu Xiang.

In the fourth year of Xingde, the emperor returned triumphantly.

Xia Hou was shrewd and capable, and kept this matter a secret. Emperor Hong didn't believe that Xu Guifei really died in an accident. He often dreamed of the crown prince, and he has been sending people to investigate the matter secretly, but he has not been able to find out the truth, Chu Xiang disappeared, and Feng Nanyang also disappeared.

In the fifth year of Xingde, the queen gave birth to a son, and Emperor Hong named him Hong Cheng'an. The queen thought to herself, the emperor obviously did not have high hopes for this son. Empress Xia thought to herself, even if the emperor delayed issuing an edict and appointing a new crown prince, Emperor Rihong would die, and the throne would be her son's sooner or later. However, she still had some concerns, twenty-four years ago, she sent someone to hunt down and kill Chu Xiang, Chu Xiang was seriously injured and died, but the prince did not know who rescued him.

For more than 20 years, there has been no news of the prince. If the crown prince is still alive, then he will be the biggest threat to Hong Chengan's succession to the throne. Besides, once this matter is revealed, she and Xiangye will definitely be in trouble.

Emperor Hong Gaode reigned for 24 years, he worked hard, knew people well, the country was strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Emperor Hong grew old and missed his lost prince more and more, and finally fell ill.

Knowing that Emperor Hong was ill, Feng Nanyang sneaked into the palace to see the emperor.

"Bold Feng Nanyang, you are guilty, you have been hiding for more than 20 years, and I have been sending people to look for you and General Chu for more than 20 years. Do you know about Concubine Xu? Emperor Hong cried with joy when he saw him.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. When the queen wanted to burn down the West Palace, the minister arrived after learning about it, and the minister came one step late, and the prince had been taken away by General Chu. In a panic, Zhongchen rescued General Chu's son and handed him over to a foreign master to raise. For the past 24 years, I have been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the prince, but I have never found it. The ministers have the great trust of the emperor. Feng Nanyang was full of guilt.
