Chapter 620: Dragon Ancestral Temple
Jiang Liran and the Prince of Southern Xinjiang always thought that it was Zi Xuanyuan who robbed people, but they didn't expect it to be Han Bing, just now the two of them had reported everything to the Dragon Emperor, and now even if they find Peng Yuxuan, they can only refuse to admit it, otherwise this is the crime of bullying the king, although their identity crime is not death, but it is difficult to escape the blame.
"Prince of Southern Xinjiang, you said that you were too careless, and you let this girl run out of the Jade Heart Palace, tomorrow is the selection of concubines, if I didn't find out in time, this major event would have been postponed. Han Bing said with a smile.
"I don't know what His Highness Han Bing means, those ten girls are all staying in the Jade Heart Hall now, who is this one?" the Prince of Southern Xinjiang immediately changed his face and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Xiaoice, where did you find the girl from, why are you so sure that it is one of the ten people who escaped from the Jade Heart Hall, could it be that you have been to the Jade Heart Hall and seen those ten people?" The Dragon Emperor was also quite cooperative, first questioning Han Bingdao.
Jiang Liran immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Dragon Emperor, the old minister can testify that His Royal Highness Han Bing did want to follow the old minister to the Jade Heart Hall after coming out of the Hidden Dragon Valley that day, but he was taken away by the Purple Xuanyuan Dragon Guard before he entered, so that His Royal Highness Han Bing had never been to the Jade Heart Hall later, so he did not meet these girls. ”
Han Bing smiled and said, "Father, Prime Minister Jiang is right, I really haven't seen what these ten people look like, but someone has seen it, Yijun, come here." Han Bing waved his hand at Yijun, and Yijun walked up to Han Bing, knelt on the ground, and saluted the Dragon Emperor.
"This is my maid Yijun, a few days ago I sent her to visit ten people in the Jade Heart Palace, she remembers all the appearance of those ten people clearly, dare to ask the Prince of Southern Xinjiang and Prime Minister Jiang, you will not deny this matter. Han Bing asked.
Jiang Liran and the Prince of Southern Xinjiang glanced at each other, nodded helplessly, and said, "This is indeed the case." ”
"Okay, Yijun, let me ask you, did you see this girl when you went to the Jade Heart Hall that day, that is, is she one of the ten?" the Dragon Emperor asked.
Yijun raised his head slightly and said, "Back to the Dragon Emperor, Yijun doesn't dare to lie, this girl's name is Peng Yuxuan, and Yijun has indeed seen it in the Jade Heart Palace." ”
The Prince of Southern Xinjiang and Jiang Liran's faces were ugly, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "The Dragon Emperor atons for his sins, the villain does not dare to deceive the Dragon Emperor, this girl is indeed one of the ten, but she disappeared mysteriously two days ago, and the villain and Jiang Cheng were afraid that it would affect the normal progress of the concubine selection, so they had to re-nominate someone to replace the position of this girl, and they really didn't deliberately want to deceive the Dragon Emperor." However, this girl's cultivation is low, and she was able to escape from the Jade Heart Palace, and happened to meet His Royal Highness Han Bing, which is a big doubt. ”
It seems that these two people are planning to break the kettle and bite back, for this situation, the Dragon Emperor has long expected it, his face did not show the slightest anger, and said calmly: "Although the two Aiqing have many reasons, they can't cover up your dereliction of duty, but this crime will be noted for you first, and the doubts just mentioned are the most important." ”
The Dragon Emperor looked at Peng Yuxuan, his face was majestic, and asked, "What is your name, you have the ability and courage to escape from the Jade Heart Palace, is there anyone secretly helping you?"
"Back to Emperor Long's words, the people's daughter's name is Peng Yuxuan, although her cultivation is low, but she has a magical talisman given by her father, which can help the folk girl escape from the Jade Heart Palace, but the space of the imperial capital is too stable, and this talisman can only escape from a small distance, so she only escaped from the Jade Heart Palace, not the imperial capital, and finally came to the palace of His Royal Highness Han Bing by mistake. Peng Yuxuan said.
"It's just a bunch of nonsense, I expect you to be a people's daughter, how can your father have a talisman of escape space, and the palace of His Royal Highness Han Bing in the Jade Heart Palace is not close, and there are many forbidden army patrols in the middle, how did you reach the palace of His Royal Highness Han Bing by mistake if you didn't cultivate, I think it is clear that someone kidnapped you to frame me and the Prince of Southern Xinjiang, and this person, this girl must know that if she is tortured to extract a confession, she will definitely be able to tell the truth. Jiang Liran said indignantly.
"What the folk girl said is true, and Emperor Wanglong is aware of it. Peng Yuxuan said.
"Be stubborn in front of the Dragon Emperor, see how the old man deals with you, and let you tell the truth. The Prince of Southern Xinjiang said, walking towards Peng Yuxuan, Peng Yuxuan hurriedly retreated, pulled the corner of Han Bing's clothes, and said in a panic: "His Royal Highness Han Bing save me." ”
"Stop, I am free to decide whether it is right or wrong, and I do not advocate the practice of extorting confessions by torture, because I don't know whether it is torture or torture. The Dragon Emperor said, "Peng Yuxuan, there is another doubt, since you came to participate in the selection of concubines, why did you run away at the last step, I don't understand this very well. ”
"Back to Emperor Long, the folk girl didn't come voluntarily, she was forcibly arrested. Peng Yuxuan said, there were already tears in her eyes, as soon as these words came out, the momentum of the Dragon Emperor began to slowly emanate, and an invisible pressure fell on the Prince of Southern Xinjiang and Jiang Liran, and the two of them sighed in their hearts, and a sense of fear swept through their bodies.
"You two explain to me what is going on!" The Dragon Emperor's voice was low, but he could hear that there was already a little anger, and the calmer he was, the more terrifying it became, Jiang Liran and the Prince of Southern Xinjiang knelt on the ground with a thud, and hurriedly said: "Dragon Emperor, His Royal Highness Han Bing's return to the Dragon Clan is really sudden, and his name is not loud, so if it is based on the principle of voluntariness, it will be very inefficient to screen the participants, and the ministers have no choice but to make this decision." ”
Boom.
The Dragon Emperor smashed the table in front of him with one palm, scattered the copywriting, pointed at the two and said: "This is a good thing, but you two are like this, what is the difference between your behavior and the bully who robbed the people's daughter, it is simply a disgrace to the dragon clan and a shame to the dragon clan." Besides, some people don't want to join the dragon clan at all, and forcing them to come will only make them resentful, so what's the use of choosing them even if they are excellent!"
"This," the two glanced at each other, and hurriedly kowtowed to admit their mistakes: "Dragon Emperor, the villain knows his mistakes, and the villain is also confused for a while, for the sake of the past, just spare us this time." ”
"You guys are simply brainless, I announce that the concubine election you are responsible for will be canceled, and all the candidates will be sent back, Han Boyi, if you commit such a crime, don't think about any more affection, go to the Dragon Ancestral Temple to face the ancestors of the Dragon Clan and repent for three years, Jiang Liran resigned from the post of prime minister, and was admitted to the Dragon Prison to wait for the fate. The Dragon Emperor said mercilessly.
The Dragon Ancestral Temple is the place where the patriarchs of the eight clans of the Dragon Clan go after their deaths, it is extremely sacred, if there are people who have made a big mistake but have not committed a crime to death, they need to go to the Dragon Ancestral Temple to repent.
"Dragon Emperor, I confessed to the punishment this time, but this little girl ignored the rules of the Dragon Clan, and actually escaped from the Jade Heart Hall and infiltrated the palace of His Royal Highness Han Bing, disrupting my Dragon Clan system, which must not be spared. "Han Boyi, the prince of southern Xinjiang, saw that he could no longer escape the crime, so he could only drag as many people into the water as possible, and it was Peng Yuxuan who harmed them that their plan failed, so he hated Peng Yuxuan extremely much in his heart.
"Well, Peng Yuxuan, although you are a victim, it's just that the Dragon Clan is not a place where you can be presumptuous, your actions have violated the system of my Dragon Clan, if you are not punished, there will be more people to violate this system in the future. The Dragon Emperor said, "Can you plead guilty?"
"I 。。。。。。 Peng Yuxuan lowered her head a little embarrassed, Han Bing took a step forward and said, "Father, I have something to say." ”
"Oh, if you want to intercede on this girl's behalf, don't say it. The Dragon Emperor said.
"Father, I must say this, last night Peng Yuxuan came to my palace by mistake, and I also learned her identity and origin by questioning, although her cultivation is not high, but my father is our acquaintance, that is, the dragon guard Peng Lei who once escorted me out of the dragon clan. Han Bing said.
"What, this girl is Peng Lei's daughter?" said the Dragon Emperor with some shock.
"The child doesn't dare to deceive his father, it's true, Peng Guardian has a life-saving grace to me, and he is also loyal to the Dragon Clan, both merit and hard work, and the child can have today is also dependent on Peng Guardian to leave me in Dongfang City, so Peng Guardian is a person of great merit but has not been rewarded by my Dragon Clan, it is better to offset the merit and use the skill of Peng Guardian to offset Yu Xuan's fault, which can not only reflect my Dragon Clan's gratitude and retribution, but also show the Dragon Clan's broad mind, isn't it beautiful. Han Bing said.
"Well, it makes sense, Peng Lei is an honest man, I have always felt indebted to him since he disappeared, since this is his daughter, forgive her for her mistake this time, I think she is still in love with you, why don't you keep her by your side?"
"Father, the child doesn't want to be strong, if Yu Xuan wants to stay with the child, the child will definitely welcome her, and if she wants to return to her hometown, please ask her father to allow her to go home. Han Bing said.
Peng Yuxuan looked at Han Bing, then looked at the Dragon Emperor, and said: "Thank you Dragon Emperor for your love, but the folk girls are used to being free and casual, and they are afraid that staying in the emperor will break the rules and make the Dragon Emperor and His Royal Highness troubled, so I want to return to my hometown to live an ordinary life, and I also ask the Dragon Emperor for permission." ”
"Well, it's a matter for the two of you, just decide for yourself. The Dragon Emperor said, and then shouted, "Come on, take back Jiang Liran's seal, put him in the custody of the Dragon Prison Good Life, send Han Boyi to the Dragon Ancestral Temple, take care of him day and night, and let him reflect on it." ”
Someone came immediately to take the two away, it could be seen from Han Boyi's eyes that he was full of anger, they were not stupid, they should know that they were being tricked, but this breath could only be swallowed by themselves, and now Han Boyi secretly swore in his heart that when the time was ripe, these humiliations would definitely come back.
The Dragon Emperor looked at Han Bing and gave him an approving look, Zi Xuanyuan's figure also appeared in the imperial study, and glanced at Han Bing with appreciation, this time Han Bing's performance made them very satisfied.
