024. Be witty and turn the situation around
Pingyang Hou hurriedly bowed his head, the empress didn't ask before, but now she came to investigate, what's going on?
He couldn't guess what the empress was thinking, but the situation was urgent, so he said, "Your Majesty, the minister......"
Chu Zhiyue also took a step forward at this time, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Pingyang Hou is not to blame for this matter, it was Qin Yuan and Aunt Lu who designed to let Pingyang Hou withdraw from the marriage, so that Qin Qian'er could become Pingyang Hou's daughter-in-law, and then use a plan to take away Junyao's dowry!" ”
Pingyang Hou was stunned, he didn't expect Chu Zhiyue to say such things, what is this Chu Zhiyue's idea? How could such a thing be said at this time? This clearly saved his life!
He narrowed his eyes, and then realized that she clearly wanted to take this opportunity to clean up Qin Yuan and Aunt Lu!
High! That's high!
Chu Zhiyue first targeted him, and then the empress asked for the guilt, and she also turned around, forcing him to join forces with her to deal with Qin Yuan and Aunt Lu.
Pingyang Hou had already betrayed Qin Yuan and Aunt Lu just now, so naturally he wouldn't mind giving them up now.
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know about this, and has been deceived by traitors!" Pingyang Hou said, "The minister was calculated by the traitor, so that the lord of Junyao was wronged, the minister really deserved to die, please punish the emperor!" ”
The empress's face softened, and her gaze at Pingyang Hou was not as sharp as before.
She snorted and said, "The county lord of Huiping originally called Qin Yuan as the county horse, but Qin Yuan is a romantic person, and it seems that he has married two aunts, and the county lord of Huiping doesn't care, I didn't expect him to be a wolf and a wolf, and he actually treated Xiao Yue'er like this today." Does he really think that he can turn the sky upside down as a county master? That concubine's daughter was just a concubine, and she dared to marry instead? ”
"It's all the ministers who were blind for a while, and just now they accused the county lord of Junyao for Qin Qian'er, and the ministers ...... The minister really can't help the dead lord of Huiping......" Pingyang Hou said here, already a little crying, "After the minister goes back, he must let Xiao'er take Qin Qian'er away." ”
The empress nodded with satisfaction, looked at Chu Zhiyue and smiled, and said: "Xiao Yue'er, you don't have to be afraid, your mother went early, and no one will protect you, but I won't let people bully you casually in the future, your title was given to you by me, and you are the only county lord with a fief in Beiling!" ”
Chu Zhiyue smiled sweetly, thinking that today's goal had been achieved, of course she was happy in her heart.
"Thank the emperor for his mercy, Junyao will definitely govern Yongzhou well in the future." Chu Zhiyue said, "Marquis of Pingyang, we are all the emperor's courtiers, fortunately we were not deceived by Qin Yuan and Aunt Lu this time, otherwise the emperor would definitely be very sad to see the two of us fighting each other." ”
Pingyang Hou raised his head, his eyes flashed, and said: "Your Majesty, the county lord of Huiping went early, Qin Yuan and Aunt Lu have mastered the power of the county lord's mansion, on the day of the wedding, the minister knew that the county lord has been beaten and scolded by the two of them for so many years, and there are many scars on his body, please The emperor must give the county lord Junyao a justice!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone stared at Pingyang Hou.
Prime Minister Tong was a little annoyed, today the two of them were obviously dealing with Chu Zhiyue together, but now Pingyang Hou is helping Chu Zhiyue speak!
Chu Zhiyue is really powerful, just now a sentence has already shown that she and Pingyang Hou are on the same front, Pingyang Hou is very familiar with current affairs, and knows that Chu Zhiyue is protected by the empress today, of course she will not grudge with Chu Zhiyue.
Prime Minister Tong gritted his teeth, fortunately he had a hand, and when Chu Zhiyue came, he would know that his Prime Minister's Mansion was not easy to bully!
Bei Yichen raised his eyebrows, turned around and asked Chu Zhiyue, "Is this true?" You're a county lord being bullied? That's ridiculous, isn't it? ”
The empress's face was gloomy again, and there was anger in her eyes, "It's the opposite!" Xiao Yue'er, come here, I want to see the scars on your body. ”
Xiuyu reminded on the side: "Your Majesty, the lord of Junyao is a daughter, and there are so many ministers and servants here in Liangdian......"
When the empress heard this, she also felt that Xiu Nu was reasonable, but she didn't give up, beckoned to Chu Zhiyue, and said, "Is it true?" Is that Qin Yuan really so bold? ”
Chu Zhiyue lowered her head, since the Marquis of Pingyang gave her a ladder, she would naturally take advantage of the situation, she shook her head, and did not look at the empress.
When Pingyang Hou saw this, he knew that Chu Zhiyue was retreating, thinking that Chu Zhiyue was really a scheming woman, he couldn't help but be ashamed, fortunately he knew the current affairs today, otherwise he would really be calculated by Chu Zhiyue.
The empress frowned and asked again, "Xiao Yue'er, you answer me." ”
Chu Zhiyue seemed speechless, she bit her lower lip, but still didn't say a word, the empress couldn't help but wait, her expression was also a little annoyed, and she was about to open her mouth and ask Yuxiu to take Chu Zhiyue down for a good check.
Who knew that Bei Yichen suddenly took Chu Zhiyue's hand at this time, with a wicked smile in his eyebrows, his very good-looking eyes stared at Chu Zhiyue, and said slowly: "Whether what Pingyang Hou said is true, this king also wants to know." ”
He pulled up Chu Zhiyue's sleeve, he saw Chu Zhiyue with sharp teeth and sharp mouth just now, but he didn't believe that Chu Zhiyue would be bullied by Qin Yuan.
To be honest, he wanted to debunk Chu Zhiyue and Pingyang Hou's lies, who knows, what he saw was an arm covered with several scars, although some of the scars had faded a lot, but a little shadow could still be seen.
Bei Yichen couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes were firmly fixed on her arm, and his eyes never took his eyes off.
And several ministers in the Liang Palace had all participated in the wedding banquet of the prince of Pingyang, so they naturally knew the scars on Chu Zhiyue's arms, and they didn't need to look up at this moment to know that Bei Yichen had seen those scars.
There was a snap, which made Bei Yichen wake up.
When he looked back, it turned out that it was the empress who swept the teacup on the small table to the ground!
The debris splashed all over the ground, and several small fragments flew to Chu Zhiyue's side.
The emperor was angry, and everyone in the cool hall knelt down in shock, except for Bei Yichen and Chu Zhiyue, who were still standing upright.
Chu Zhiyue raised her eyes, and easily withdrew her hand, silently.
Bei Yichen's hand was empty, and his expression was stunned.
The empress stood up, her face already a little red, "Okay...... That Qin Yuan is really so bold, as soon as the county lord of Huiping dies, he will treat you like this! Come! Send the order down, arrest Qin Yuan and Aunt Lu, and put them in prison! ”
Chu Zhiyue hurriedly said: "Please open the Internet!" How can I say that he is also Jun Yao's biological father! ”
"He treats you like this, and you still want to defend him?" The empress narrowed her eyes, "You are a county lord with a title, a golden branch and jade leaf, and a noble status, who is he?" I was a civilian! If it weren't for the insistence of the county lord of Huiping to marry him, how could he be where he is today! Now it's revenge! ”
Chu Zhiyue sighed, but still said: "Then how can he also be Jun Yao's father, this cannot be changed." ”
"Then I want to let him go?" The empress raised an eyebrow.
"Your Majesty, as long as he still lives in the county lord's mansion, Jun Yao will definitely think of family affection." Chu Zhiyue said.
Pingyang Hou couldn't guess Chu Zhiyue's mind at this time, this was a good opportunity, didn't Chu Zhiyue want to clean up Qin Yuan and Aunt Lu? Why spare their lives?
He thought about it, but decided not to say anything.
The empress sat down again, waved her hand, and said, "Okay, just let it be." Xiao Yue'er, you must know that you are the lord of Junyao County, in charge of the fiefdom of the five cities, holding the Yongzhou Order, how many people in this Beiling Kingdom can match you? Your mother used to be famous all over the world, you are her daughter, you can't lose her face. ”
"Jun Yao will reorganize the county lord's mansion, please rest assured." Chu Zhiyue breathed a sigh of relief, the empress would not go on a killing spree today.
When the empress heard her words, she was very happy, and said: "Xiao Yue'er, then you have to make good use of your county lord's golden seal, if anyone in the county lord's mansion dares to disobey you, you have the right to punish." ”
Chu Zhiyue frowned without showing a trace, when the little county lord was canonized, the golden seal had already been taken by Qin Yuan.
With the golden seal, she didn't know what Qin Yuan had done, so she left Qin Yuan's life, after all, the County Lord's Mansion had been managed by Qin Yuan all these years, and if she wanted to know what the current situation of the County Lord's Mansion was, she had to start with Qin Yuan.
The farce of the Liangdian was over, the empress was sleepy, so she and Yuxiu left the imperial garden first, and when the Marquis of Pingyang left, she didn't forget to say to Chu Zhiyue: "Lord Junyao, then the marriage between you and the dog ......"
Bei Yichen was about to leave the Liang Palace, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but stop and looked back at the two of them.
He raised an eyebrow, clearly interested in the topic.
Chu Zhiyue's face was cold, and she only glanced at Pingyang Hou, "Didn't Pingyang Hou understand that day in the wedding hall?" ”
Pingyang Hou's face turned pale, and he felt that Chu Zhiyue didn't know what to do, and now that he mentioned this matter, he could afford to look at Chu Zhiyue.
"That county lord is so self-conscious!" After Pingyang Hou finished speaking, he was so angry that he brushed his sleeves and left.
He couldn't expect Qin Yuan to help him get that glass lamp now, and Chu Zhiyue also rejected him fiercely, so what other way could he get that thing?
At the door of the Liang Palace, Bei Yichen was leaning on a big red pillar, and when he saw Chu Zhiyue walking out, he smiled toothily and said, "I also want to leave the palace, together?" ”
"The second prince has just returned to the palace, shouldn't he go to talk to the emperor?" Chu Zhiyue didn't look at him, and walked out of the cool hall directly.
Bei Yichen naturally helped keep up with her, side by side with her, his eyes stared at her braids from time to time, Chu Zhiyue felt his gaze, turned her head and glared at him, and said: "Second prince, if you like to watch, you let the maids in your yard not comb their hair and braid their hair in the future." ”
Bei Yichen sneered, stretched out his hand and wanted to pull her braids, and said, "Don't be so stingy, I returned to the capital, but I didn't expect that there would be women who combed their braids like this." Chu Zhiyue, I helped you today, and you can also give me a good look. ”
