Chapter Eighty-Three: Peach Blossoms Are Not to Be Flooded
"Flat!" The emperor's voice full of dragon power sounded.
Everyone got up and took their positions step by step.
Ximen Hao sat next to the queen, Ximen Yi stood at the foot of the hall very well, and Su Ranhua took a step back and stood beside him, lowering his head, secretly raising his eyes to observe the most powerful man in the world.
The majestic face of the national character, the blazing eyes, a handful of flowing beards, the age of fifty years away, but the spirit is burning, sitting in the hall without moving and mighty, even in such a humble place as the criminal room, you can feel the domineering spirit of the arrogant ministers from the court.
"Say, what's going on?" The emperor swept the hall, and his sharp gaze unceremoniously shot at Su Ran's painting.
Su Ran said calmly, "Back to the emperor, Erchen was depressed and walked alone in the Xiangfu Garden, and accidentally met the King of the South, and then worried that his sister would misunderstand, so he left in a hurry, but he didn't want the King of the South to order someone to secretly hold the Erchen hostage, and took him to the sister's room in the South Wang's Mansion and locked it up, until after dark, the King of the South appeared, and something very unpleasant happened, but fortunately, the King of the North arrived in time and there was no accident." β
Listening to Su Ran's smooth nonsense, Ximen Yi turned his head sideways and glared at her angrily, her performance was really much beyond her expectations, this woman who seemed indifferent and casual and cold and stubborn still had such a trick!
And the corners of Ximen Hao's lips swayed into an unnoticed smile, he knew that things would never be so simple, but after Su Ran's painting, coupled with Ximen Yi's anger, he saw a female ruffian, such a Su Ran painting made him want to laugh.
"You-Hugh has to make a fuss!" Concubine Shu was angry and raised her eyebrows, slapping the table, she obviously just met with Ximen Yi, this woman was clearly biting her son, and it was also a shameless crime of holding the imperial sister-in-law hostage, it was really hateful!
Ximen Hao and the queen looked at Concubine Shu quietly, turned their eyes to Su Ranhua, and waited for her reaction.
"Concubine Niangniang," Su Ran painted a debt and gave a salute, "Whether it is a rumor or not, Niangniang should understand very well." β
"What did you say?" Concubine Shu didn't expect Su Ranhua to throw the question to herself, and glared angrily, "Do you still want to frame this palace?" β
"Su Ran painting, if you have anything to say, just target this king, don't involve this king's mother." Ximen Yi scolded, it seems that he really looked away this time, he didn't expect Su Ranhua to be such a special woman, he was deeply attracted to him, and he didn't expect Su Ranhua to join forces with Ximen Hao to deal with him, it really responded to that sentence, peach blossoms can't be flooded.
However, this peach blossom, he really wants to pluck it. Even though Ximen Yi was annoyed, he didn't forget to think so.
"Hmph, Hongu understands!" Concubine Shu turned to sneer, "You were found out about seducing King Nan, so you want to bite back and exonerate yourself." You are your lowly mother's species, and your virtue is not much better, and the relationship with the King of the West is not clear, and the itchy skin has affected the King of the South, how can such a shameless woman with watery Yanghua be the princess of the North? According to the opinion of the palace, it should be immediately abandoned as a slave, sent to the frontier, comforted the soldiers guarding the border pass, and played a role as a citizen of the Qingyuan Dynasty. β
is such a vicious concubine, judging her own character or not, and even wanting her to be a "comfort woman"?
Su Ranhua knelt down to the emperor and said loudly, "Your Majesty! Please ask the emperor to make decisions for his sons. Erchen was indeed forcibly taken to the Nanwang Mansion by the King of Nan. β
Kneeling is a last resort, this is the rule of this era, although Su Ran painting is reluctant, but also has to abide by it.
"Really?" The emperor flashed his shrewd eyes, looking at Su Ran's paintings, and the things that had happened in Chunlin Garden had naturally already reached his ears, including Ximen Zhe's sneaking into the Beiwang Mansion, which only Ximen Hao and Concubine Yao knew, and he also found out clearly. This woman, who has just been newly married, has provoked his purest royal son, Ximen Zhe, is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Your Majesty, Erchen and King Xi met five years ago, and now married into the royal family, naturally more familiar than others, but has always been careful to abide by their duties, there has never been anything deviant, and we are innocent uncles and sisters-in-law. As for the King of the Southβ"
Su Ranhua paused, glanced at Ximen Yi, turned around and continued, "Today, the king of the north accompanied his sons back to the door, it was a little unpleasant, and he was inevitably a little depressed. β
When Su Ranhua said this, her voice began to tremble, like a little woman who had been wronged, with a sad face, "Your Majesty, this matter is about the innocence of your sons, please let the emperor know it!" The king of the north is strict by nature, if this makes his sons and daughters deeply punished and disliked by the prince, it is really wronged, please ask the emperor to make decisions for his sons! β
"Su Dye painting, are you stupid? Someone kidnapped you, and you won't scream? is locked up in Nanwangfu, are you willing not to make a sound? Simon Yi asked rhetorically. Su Ran's lie is really full of loopholes, even if she speaks it fluently, but it's really funny, and she dares to deceive her father, this woman is really tired of it!
But it's okay like this, so that he can bite Ximen Hao again, so that he can't get out of it, look at this confrontation, who can hurt whom?
"Lord Wang, will your masters allow me to speak out? Even if I was locked up in my sister's house, I was also pointed, and I couldn't move or make a sound, but, as I just said, whether it's true or not, Concubine Niangniang should know very well. Su Ranhua sneered, with the experience of being pointed by the man in black, it can be regarded as having actual experience, and it is just a good time to borrow it.
"You say, how does this palace have to be clear?" Concubine Shu is sometimes really helpless to her son, obviously a very shrewd person, but she is self-righteous, and her words are gently refuted so quickly, without weight, at this time, looking at Su Ran's sworn appearance, even she doubts whether this matter is really done by Ximen Yi?
"Didn't Niangniang hear the prince say that he had a heart for his son? At that time, Concubine Shu also taught the prince a lesson for this, don't you remember it so soon? Su Ranhua smiled indifferently and asked slowly.
"Youβ" Concubine Shu's expression changed slightly.
Without waiting for her to cover up, the emperor had already caught a small clue from her face, retained some approval of Su Ran's words, and quietly glanced at everyone in the hall.
"Niangniang, at that time, Erchen was behind the screen, and he was pointed at the acupoint, and he couldn't move." Su Ran painted.
It is true that she was taken captive to Nanwangfu, what Concubine Shu said is true, and it is also true that Ximen Yi wants to take advantage of her, the only thing that is fake is to confuse the identity of the mysterious man in black and the truth of Nanwangfu. Between truth and falsehood, Su Ranhua is betting on Ximen Yi's character, and winning or losing is related to the situation she will face in the future.
