Yanxiang saw that the emperor favored the senior brother, and raised the bar with the queen for the sake of the senior brother, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart. As soon as she was proud, she got a little carried away and became bolder.

She smiled: "Your Majesty, my senior brother is wronged, you can let him go!" ”

The shackles have been opened, and he wasn't imprisoned in the first place, okay?

The emperor glanced at the cigarette indifferently with a gloomy expression.

Smoke Xiang suddenly felt splashed with cold water, and his whole body was wet, so he hurriedly lowered his head and looked at the ground anxiously. She thought that the emperor was the father of the senior brother, and he would be easier to talk to, and he would be as tolerant to her as the senior brother was to her. But he didn't expect the emperor to be so disgusted with himself.

It can be said that she has grown so big and met so many people, except for the bad guys who are opposed to her, there are almost no ones who are as cold to her as the emperor. She had a faint feeling that the emperor didn't like her.

However, her brain changed very quickly, and she was good at self-enlightenment, and she was immediately relieved. She thought, maybe this is the helplessness of being an emperor. If the emperor is kind and amiable to her, an ignorant person, what majesty does he have?

I don't know if the senior brother will become the emperor in the future, will it be the same?

Seeing that the emperor snubbed the incense, the queen became unscrupulous. She stared at the cigarette incense, a cold light appeared in her eyes, and said coldly: "Where did the wild girl come from?" There's no room for you to talk here! ”

Smoke was humiliated by the queen, she was very angry, the muscles on her face twitched, and her face was ugly. She opened her mouth and was about to fight back, but was covered by a pair of large hands.

Chu Tiankuo keenly sensed that Yanxiang's mood was wrong, and he was afraid that she would speak wildly and hurt people, so he quickly sealed her mouth. This is the Royal Palace, it doesn't have to be outside the Palace. Misfortune comes from the mouth, and if you say the wrong thing, your life will not be guaranteed.

The cigarette was speechless, with a pair of big eyes, staring innocently at the senior brother.

Her heart was broken, and she wanted to cry without tears. Grandma's, the elder brother just watched her being bullied by the queen like this! It seems that this palace is not a good place, and there is no freedom of speech. was scolded by the queen, and he couldn't fight back, which was really aggrieved.

The whole audience stared at Chu Tiankuo and Yanxiang incredulously.

Seeing that the smoke was so unruly and uneducated, the emperor couldn't help frowning. What displeased him was not only this, but the key was that his imperial son Chu Tiankuo did not seem to care for this cigarette girl.

He didn't like the queen's arrogance. However, the queen's words spoke to his heart. He really has this impression of this cigarette girl - a country girl, she can't get on the stage.

Xiang Ye observed his words and saw that the emperor was extremely dissatisfied at the moment, so he added fuel and vinegar and said: "Dare to ask the emperor, how to deal with Chu Tiankuo?" ”

When he said this, he was throwing stones to ask for directions, and he immediately got a response.

The courtiers who were on Xiangye's side speculated and asked, "Your Majesty, Chu Tiankuo opened the shackles privately, how to deal with it?" ”

The queen continued: "Your Majesty, you have also seen with your own eyes that Chu Tiankuo dared to open the shackles privately in front of the emperor and his concubines, as well as the courtiers and everyone. What else would he not dare to do? Please let the emperor decide! As she spoke, her tone changed, and she said seriously: "If the emperor doesn't deal with it, how can he convince the public?" ”

Smoke was stunned. These people are not only an afterthought, but also extremely insidious, and they really see the wind and rudder. When Senior Brother opened the shackles just now, why didn't they say it? Now, scrambling to run out and say?

The emperor smiled slightly, and his voice was surprisingly calm: "Chu Tiankuo opened the shackles, it was instructed by me!" Whoever dares to discuss it again will be my enemy! ”

The emperor is really good! The incense of smoke cheered in my heart, and the unhappiness just now flashed away. It doesn't matter if the emperor treats her badly, as long as he dotes on his senior brother, it's enough.

Duan Zisheng and Dongfanghong were also overjoyed by the emperor's distinct attitude. Originally, they were still worried about Chu Tiankuo's safety, but it seemed that the crisis was resolved. With the emperor protecting the calf, who would dare to make a mistake?

Those courtiers were immediately frightened by the emperor's words, and they didn't dare to speak again.

Xiangye's cheeks were clenched, his body was tense, and he fought to the end: "The emperor has always been enlightened, why is he oppressing people with power today?" Chu Tiankuo is a human criminal, he escaped from the prison and broke into the palace privately, and opened the shackles privately at this moment. If the emperor does not hold him accountable, I am afraid it will chill the world. ”

That's a serious point. But the emperor felt that Xiangye's words were reasonable. His face sank, thinking about what to do, and how to reply.

Yanxiang was very anxious, seeing that the emperor couldn't answer, he wanted to open his mouth to relieve the siege for the emperor. However, Senior Brother firmly controlled her and did not let her speak. The master not far away, a pair of eyes were also staring at her, and she didn't dare to make any more trouble. She had an empty stomach to talk about, and she could only hold it in her heart.

Just when the emperor was distracted, Li Shuang stepped forward, tilted his head proudly, and an evil smile appeared on his face.

He glanced at Xiang Ye defiantly, and a teasing smile appeared on his lips: "Chu Tiankuo didn't escape from the prison. Previously, the emperor had issued an edict, which was conveyed by Feng Nanyang, the minister of the Imperial Mission. Because Lord Feng had an accident, he asked me to go to Dali Temple to pass on the message. I came one step too late to let Chu Tiankuo suffer this injustice. ”

Is there such a thing? Smoke Incense's eyes radiated brilliance, and when he was surprised, his eyebrows were raised. It's great. If there is an edict, the senior brother will not be considered to have escaped from prison.

Li Shuang's words hit the hearts of Xiangye and the queen hard. It turned out that the oracle was true. What a desperate thing for them to do.

It turned out that Feng Nanyang had an accident, but fortunately, he passed the message to Li Shuang. In this way, there is no need for the emperor to be embarrassed. The emperor's face softened, cleared his throat, and instructed Li Shuang: "You read the edict in public." ”

"Yes! Emperor! ”

Li Shuang read out the oracle in public.

With this message, it was confirmed that Chu Tiankuo did not escape from the prison. Xiangye and the queen knew that they were at a loss, but they were still stubborn.

The queen did not shed tears when she saw the coffin, and there was no real evidence, and she refused to admit the authenticity of the oracle.

She smiled and said in a questioning tone: "This oracle is true or false, how can it be proven?" The emperor passed the oracle to Feng Nanyang, why didn't Feng Nanyang bring the oracle to Dali Temple? It is unconvincing that such a person has suddenly appeared to pass on the message on his behalf. ”

Shen Mei was anxious when she heard this, and stood up to testify: "The oracle is true, and it was Lord Feng who told us personally. At that time, I was also present, and I can attest to it. ”

For the woman in front of her, regardless of dignity and inferiority, she spoke to herself bluntly, and the gloom on the queen's face was very obvious. Because she was pressed by the emperor, she did not vent her anger.

She glanced at Shen Mei contemptuously, with a very disdainful attitude, and said in a strange manner: "Which country girl are you?" If what you say is true, then this palace asks you, where is Lord Feng now? ”

The queen's tone was full of contempt.

An eldest lady like Shen Mei, although she is not as good as the palace magnates, she is the pearl of her parents, and she is also a role in calling for wind and rain in Shenjiazhuang. Here, he is so despised by the queen. She felt extremely uncomfortable, but she bit her lip tightly and didn't make a sound.

Although the queen's arrogant attitude made her unhappy, she was helpless. Who made the other party a queen on the high? She's not stupid, why can't she hear that the queen is tricking her. She won't tell where Lord Feng lives.

Seeing that Shen Mei was being bullied, Li Shuang couldn't swallow this breath. It's okay to bully him, but it's not okay to bully his lover. He held Shen Mei's grievances for Shen Mei and sneered: "The queen mother, the mother of the world, leads the harem, is in a high position, and her natural eyes are above the top." In the eyes of the queen, everyone is a country girl. But I don't know, how noble is the queen mother's birth? ”

'How noble was the birth of the Queen Mother?' These words were like a slap on the queen's face, and Ling suddenly felt a hot face. Her birth is indeed humble, if it weren't for the fact that she and the emperor laid this country together, where would there be today's glory and wealth. She herself comes from a poor family, but she calls other people country girls, which is really ugly.

Li Shuang continued: "The people are like water, the king is like a boat, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat. If there are no subjects in the world, how can the queen be on the high throne? ”

What he said was reasonable. Although the meaning of the words was to insult the queen, however, in terms of wording, it was impeccable.

Shen Mei looked at Li Shuang with extremely admiring eyes. She felt that her future husband was really good, he was talented and eloquent, and his martial arts were good and gentle and considerate to her.

If a husband is like this, what more can a husband ask for?

"Bold! Who are you? How dare you talk to Hongu like that! The queen raised her hand and wanted to slap Li Shuang, but the raised hand did not fall for a long time.

In front of the emperor, in front of so many people, she didn't dare to beat people, let alone get off the stage.

Li Shuang scolded her without the slightest dirty word, and she had no reason to scold people.

She was so angry that her shoulders trembled terribly.

The emperor was in a good mood, and he couldn't imagine that the strong had their own strong hands, and the high-flying queen was repaired by these people today. However, in order to maintain the royal face and for fear of angering the Xia family, he no longer fell into the ground.

Enough is enough. The Emperor sneered, and said as softly as possible, "Why should the Empress be angry! According to the queen's wishes, how can we believe in the authenticity of the oracle? ”

The smoke is a little incomprehensible, which side of this emperor is it?

The empress grabbed the olive branch thrown by the emperor and went down the steps: "Your Majesty, as long as someone comes forward to testify, the concubines will believe in the authenticity of the dictation." ”

Yanxiang was emotional, and while the senior brother was not paying attention, he broke his hand, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What does the queen mean, Sister Shen is not a person?" ”

Oh my God! A few people on the spot couldn't hold back and laughed.

Dongfang Hong was stunned for two seconds, and actually laughed.

The corners of Chu Tiankuo's mouth twitched, and he didn't dare to laugh if he wanted to laugh.

Shen Mei and Li Shuang glared at Yanxiang at the same time, their faces were not quite right. They were surprisingly on the same page. What does this cigarette say?

Chu Aofei's expression was always very steady, he frowned, and shouted sternly at Yanxiang: "Yanxiang, pay attention to proportion!" ”

Smoke pursed her lips, and she was right.

Chu Aofei stepped forward and apologized: "The cigarette apprentice has been stubborn since he was a child, and it was I, the master, who neglected to discipline me. Don't be like a little girl. ”

What is Master talking about? How can you grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige in this way? The cigarette was displeased, lowered his head, and pulled the elder brother's hand. In the past, she was in a bad mood or was wronged, and she did this.

Chu Tiankuo rolled his eyes at her.

The queen nodded, and said to Chu Aofei harshly: "It's really self-aware. What kind of person is thinking about this palace can teach such an apprentice. Female apprentices are uneducated, and male apprentices break the law and commit crimes. Today was an eye-opener. ”

Chu Tiankuo was angry, bullied him, and bullied Yanxiang. What's the deal with bullying his master?

He raised his eyebrows and said in a mocking tone: "The queen mother is the mother of the world, but she speaks so harshly, what is the difference between her and the small people in the market?" I am me, what does my master have to do with what I have done? Why bother involving my master? ”

A strange smile appeared on the queen's lips: "Oh? So, do you confess that what you have done is true? If you are quick to admit it, you will save others from suffering after you. ”

"Admit it? Let my brother admit what? He didn't do anything wrong, so how can he admit it? Smoke couldn't help but retort.

"It is a fact that I escaped from the prison and broke into the palace without permission!"

The Emperor stood there alone, pondering the Empress's questions. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to ask for a witness. Otherwise, if the queen holds on like this, it will be a headache.

He had made up his mind, and said with a straight face: "Queen, you want a witness, but I have a personal witness." I didn't want him to get involved in this matter, but since the queen insisted, I had to rely on you. ”

A bad feeling welled up in the queen's heart.

The emperor looked at Sikong Hua and ordered: "Sikong Hua, you go and invite King Yong'an!" ”

Hearing the three words of King Yong'an, the queen's face changed instantly. Her royal sons, King Yong'an and Xia Wenxuan, were locked up in Tianfeng Hall by her, and she naturally knew it. She really didn't want him to be involved.

As soon as the emperor showed his trump card, the queen immediately confessed.

"Wait, Sikong Hua!" The queen drank Sikong Hua.

Her tone softened and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, the concubine believes that this oracle is true, can you not let the emperor participate in this matter?" ”

The emperor said vaguely: "Since the queen is happy and convinced, then I let Chu Tiankuo go, presumably the queen has no objections, right?" ”

Is this a quid pro quo? The queen did not squeak.
