Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Trap

In the Chengguang Palace, Emperor Jin sat on the top with Lan Jun with a cold face.

For the first time, Yun Qian felt that the Chengguang Hall was so solemn and solemn, just like the Jinluan Palace.

This is the place where Emperor Jin deals with daily chores and relaxes, she remembers the last time she knelt here to ask Emperor Jin for guilt, although Emperor Jin's words were a little harsh, in the end he was with a kind heart, but now it is different, his silence has conveyed to everyone that the anger of the Son of Heaven is not something that ordinary people can bear lightly, even if this "ordinary person" is his biological daughter.

Yun Lean stood beside Lan Jun, staring at Princess Roujia and Princess Kang Le kneeling below. Although it is the same condescending, there is no sense of contempt and bullying in his heart, as if he has not completely recovered from the palpitations just now, although his body is still calm, his heart is still slightly undulating.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely dull, and the sound quality of the copper kettle dripping neatly and monotonously came, which made the hall more and more quiet, until the silence was trembling. Emperor Jin had a cold face and asked in a deep voice: "Yun Tian, you say, what is going on?" ”

Hearing Emperor Jin's question, Yun Tian hurriedly gathered his mind and replied truthfully: "Back to the emperor, the minister met Princess Roujia and Princess Kang Le in the imperial garden today, and he wanted to see the courtesy, but he was ridiculed, and there were even many unbearable words. ”

When Emperor Jin heard this, his eyebrows moved: "What are you talking about?" Come! ”

Princess Roujia below immediately raised her head to look at Emperor Jin when she heard this, her pupils seemed to be burning with a pair of scorching flames, hot and demonic, completely covering up the trembling on her face because of that trace of weakness, she preemptively argued before Yun Tian answered: "What unbearable words? It's clear that you are disrespectful to this princess, don't slander this princess......"

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Jin's voice poured down from the top of his head with a dripping chill, and he forcibly interrupted Princess Roujia's words, "Who gave you the power to lynch and punish the princess in the harem?!" It's just a few words of quarrel, and you have to make him kneel for two hours, who taught you such a vicious mind? ”

Hearing Emperor Jin's words, how could Jin Guifei, who rushed to the side after hearing the news, still be able to endure it, and hurriedly stepped forward, however, before her words of plea were pronounced, she was swept away by Emperor Jin's swift eyes, swallowed it back, and stood in place with an unwilling face.

Princess Roujia's face was as red as pork liver, and she couldn't say a word.

Emperor Jin turned to Yun Tian again and asked in a deep voice, "What did she say?" ”

Yun looked at Lan Jun, thinking of their slanderous words against Lan Jun just now, a wave of grievances rose, and quickly spread, pouring his heart full of biting ice, which was terrifying. Crystal tears filled her eyelashes, which could collapse at any time, and her vision gradually blurred.

It's not that she doesn't dare to say it, but she doesn't want to say it.

In the end, she still endured the heartache and choked up: "They said that the invasion of the Xiao Kingdom was because the queen mother was in the middle palace, and they also said...... He also said that the queen mother had no dignity in the country......"

Her voice gradually deepened, until the last sentence was only vaguely distinguishable between Lan Jun and Emperor Jin who were sitting beside her. In an instant, Lan Jun's calm and calm face disappeared suddenly, and Emperor Jin was even more angry and trembling, his purple face was purple, and he swept the blue and white tea cup and the white jade porcelain plate containing osmanthus cake just presented by the servant on the case, and smashed it on Princess Roujia's right knee impartially.

The Son of Heaven was furious, and the concubines and palace people present knelt down to ask for guilt, and Yun Tian was so shocked that he bent his knees with everyone.

Looking up, I saw a faint smile slowly blooming on Lan Jun's lips, like the last faint afterglow in the sky when the winter cloudy night was about to fall, with helpless calmness in the desolation.

Yun looked at Lan Jun who was not angry but laughed in a daze, only to feel that his mother had never been so sad, and his heart became more and more sad, and when he was secretly worried about not knowing how to comfort Lan Jun, he heard Lan Jun lightly open his lips and said quietly: "My son, this palace does not want to know about all these ups and downs, after all, it is in vain!" ”

There was not the slightest fluctuation in Lan Jun's tone, as if he was just telling her about a yellowed past event, but he was caught off guard by the thunder in the clear sky. What Yun Qian didn't expect was that Lan Jun had already known about the unbearable rumors in this palace, but he didn't want her to know that she was sad, which was the deepest reason why Lan Jun didn't let her step out of the middle palace frequently.

In an instant, the remaining pitiful blood on Yun Tian's face faded, and the snow was as white as the handful of snow on the branches of white plums outside the hall, crystal clear, like ice.

Just when Yun Tian was stunned, Emperor Jin slowly looked sideways, gently covered Lan Jun's hand, and then clenched it tighter and tighter, trying to transmit the firm strength of his palms to each other's hearts.

Lan Jun looked back at Emperor Jin, his expression was still the same, and there was not much turmoil: "Princess Roujia is just a child, she is not sensible, and the emperor should not blame." It's freezing and you're hurting yourself by kneeling for a long time, so let's get the two princesses up quickly! This matter is the fault of the concubines who did not manage the harem well. Now that the border war is tight, people's hearts are fluctuating, and the concubines have failed to share the worries for the emperor, so that rumors have spread in the palace, and there are filthy saints to listen, and the concubines respectfully ask the emperor to surrender their crimes, don't be angry with the dragon body! ”

Emperor Jin's face paleated slightly: "Empress, my daughter has caused you to suffer such a great grievance, what other crimes do you have?" Then, he turned his head to look at Princess Roujia, who was kneeling underneath, and said in a deep voice, "Who taught the two of you those unbearable words?" ”

Princess Roujia bit her lip and said nothing, Princess Kang Le was already timid, she lowered her head tremblingly, and did not answer.

Emperor Jin didn't do too much entanglement: "The matter has come to this, and you still don't know how to repent!" I'm too arrogant of you! He let out a long sigh and said, "If you are a young offender, I will punish the two of you to learn the teachings of your ancestors at the gate of the Taimiao, and kneel and introspect until you reform yourself!" ”

Princess Roujia still bit her lip stubbornly and was silent, Jin Guifei and Concubine Xiao hurriedly knelt down and begged Emperor Jin to take it lightly, and Emperor Jin on the seat became more and more displeased, he narrowed his eyes slightly, snorted coldly, interrupted their plea, and then said: "As for these palace laves, the following crimes are capital crimes, and they will all be dragged out and killed!" From today onwards, if there is any more talk about the queen in the palace, no matter who it is, cut off the tongue first and then bring it up to see me! ”

Princess Roujia looked at Gong'e who was dragged out with a dead face, begging for mercy, like a nightmare covering her, she tried her best to kowtow to the Jin Emperor to intercede, and the Jin Emperor turned a blind eye.
