Chapter 15: Great change is coming
There was a faint noise outside, and the women in the tent couldn't help but get nervous. Shu Yu Chunju grabbed the slave girl who came in just now and asked, "What's going on outside?"
The slave girl was shocked and stammered, "I, I don't know. There were a lot of people outside, and they, and they said they were going to report to the queen...... Avenge. ”
"They, who are they?" asked Chunju anxiously.
In any case, so many people storming the queen's tent, if not to kill the queen, is not a great disrespect.
"Is it the people brought by His Royal Highnesses Xiao Xuanjing and Xiao Xuancong?" asked Suna, who had been silent.
The slave girl turned her head to look at Suna in surprise, then nodded. She obviously didn't understand how Suna knew what was going on outside when she was in the tent. Suna sighed and said, "The two highnesses are too impulsive! Their mothers haven't been officially convicted yet!"
Snow kites and chrysanthemums looked at each other. Sun Na was the only one who accompanied Zhuang Meiyan to the palace today, and the two of them stayed in the queen's tent, so they didn't know the situation at that time. Listening to Suna's meaning, it seems that Concubine Yelu has not been punished for the time being, the evidence is clear, and everyone knows the truth...... Could it be that there was some accident in between?
Zhuang Meiyan ignored the cranky state of the two girls, in this case, she couldn't let go of the freedom to continue to lie down. Suna held her body with concern and whispered, "Queen, there are ghost guards outside, you don't have to worry. I'll go out and have a look. ”
Zhuang Meiyan still wanted to stand up with her body, but she had already spent too much energy arguing in the royal court just now, and now she was exhausted, and she felt that her eyes were dark as soon as she got together. Zhuang Meiyan knew that she couldn't be strong, so she had to say weakly: "Okay, you be careful, go and come back quickly." ”
"Yes. ”
Suna didn't dare to delay and hurriedly walked out.
After a while, Suna turned back, but she didn't come back alone, followed by the young man in black, Ghost Gus. Ghost Gus looked solemn, and when he saw him enter the queen's tent without notice, everyone had a bad feeling that the situation outside must be very urgent and serious.
"Queen. Ghost Gus said simply, "Please leave here with my sister Suna immediately, and I will send someone to protect you on the way." On a hillside five miles northwest of the city of Winkol is a large army of the 'Devil's Blade Wolf Knife', where you will be safe. ”
Chunju and Snow Kite listened to what the ghost Gus said very seriously, and immediately understood the seriousness of the problem, and hurried to find a coat to put on the queen.
Suna scolded in a low voice: "You can't wear the queen's robe! I found a girl's clothes, you can help the queen change into them first." ”
Chunju took the yellow shirt and was about to change it into Zhuang Meiyan, but Zhuang Meiyan resolutely raised her hand and pushed it away.
"What the hell is going on outside, if you don't make it clear, I won't just leave. Zhuang Meiyan is colorful.
Suna knew Zhuang Meiyan's temper, sighed, and said, "Queen, the two princes, Xiao Xuanjing and Xiao Xuancong, are the sons of Concubine Yelu, and when they heard that their mother was locked up, they brought their guards and clamored to come to see you. ”
Chunju and Snow Kite's faces couldn't help but turn pale, what do you want to see the queen, come over with many soldiers and horses, it can be described as a wolf's ambition, and everyone knows it. Chunju hurriedly echoed: "Queen, Aunt Suna is right, you better go out and avoid it first." ”
Zhuang Meiyan took a deep breath and said calmly: "Why should I go? This is my home, I won't go anywhere!"
Everyone knows Zhuang Meiyan's character, and once she persists, no one can convince her. Suna was silent, Chunju and Xue Kite were full of worry, Ghost Gus's eyes showed approval, he stepped forward, pressed his right hand on his left chest, and bowed his head slightly: "Dear Queen, Ghost Gus will swear to protect your safety." ”
At this time, a black-clothed soldier quietly walked into the tent, he stuck behind Ghost Gus, and whispered a few words, and Gu Ges looked solemn and nodded.
"What happened?" asked Suna in a deep voice.
Ghost Ges hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zhuang Meiyan's calm face, and replied, "There is another small army outside, it is the guard of the 'Tiger Battalion', I want to go out and take care of it." ”
Zhuang Meiyan nodded slightly, and then said slowly: "I'll go out with you, Chunju, Snow Kite, change me into the queen's robe, I want the most gorgeous one." ”
Chunju and Snow Kite looked hesitant, but still replied, "Yes." ”
There was no imaginary rain of swords and arrows outside the tent, and in fact, the people and horses in several aspects were very restrained. Ghost Ges strictly ordered to restrain his subordinates, just guarding the surroundings of the queen's tent, and the guards of the two princes were just pressing step by step, surround this place at a distance of five zhang outside the queen's tent, Xiao Xuanjing's men and horses were a little quieter, but Xiao Xuancong's men and horses were more arrogant, especially Xiao Xuancong himself, pointing to the queen's tent and scolding, his soldiers themselves wanted to shout and demonstrate for him, and the noise came from his direction. A little farther away is the "Tiger Camp" in heavy armor, and Yeluxiong, riding on the back of a reddish-brown high-headed horse, is neatly draped, his eyes are sharp, and he quietly looks at the prince's guard in front of him.
Winkol did not allow any troops to be stationed, and the guards of princes and nobles were strictly regulated, and could not exceed five hundred people at most. But there were several thousand people from all three sides together, and they surrounded the queen's tent. The barriers on all sides were tight, and although the weapons were revealed, no one dared to go to war without the permission of the chief.
Zhuang Meiyan hurriedly browsed the audience, the situation was similar to what she expected, if she fled in a panic and cowardly, then the situation would sooner or later evolve out of control, and the biggest reason why all parties were able to restrain each other was precisely because she was afraid of her existence, so she had to stand up.
Now only she can control the whole situation, but she's not sure either, it's like walking on thin ice, no one knows which step you take will cause the whole ice to break.
"I heard that my people have something to say to me, and now that I'm here, what do you want to tell me?" Zhuang Meiyan's sharp eyes scanned the audience, her calm expression shocked everyone, and the soldiers who had been noisy involuntarily quieted down, and now except for the occasional neighing of the horses, all that was left was the howling of the wind.
Zhuang Meiyan's voice was not high, but it was enough for Xiao Xuanjing and Xiao Xuancong on the opposite side to hear it clearly. Xiao Xuancong saw her, his face showed resentment, his fingers couldn't help but clench the waist knife, and the ghost Gus followed closely beside Zhuang Meiyan, seeing this situation, his right hand subconsciously touched the handle of the knife on his waist.
Xiao Xuanjing drove forward, came to his younger brother Xiao Xuancong, patted her arm, then turned his head to look at Zhuang Meiyan, stroked his chest with his right hand and saluted, riding on a horse to salute This is extremely disrespectful, but in this situation, no one cares about this.
"Dear Queen, you have lost your child, the whole Vozra steppe is whimpering, and your people will be saddened. However, you can't let that make you lose your mind and even blame the innocent for your faults. Our mother's heart is as noble and pure as a white cloud in the blue sky, as soft and kind as a lamb on the steppe, and she will never do anything to hurt others. ”
"The devil has blinded you, my queen, you ought to open your eyes and see clearly, that it is the lowly slave who kills your child, and she is the one who hates you, and she frames our mother in order to survive. As for the killing of her family, there is not even a requirement for such a thing, since when does the nobleman need a reason to kill a slave?"
Xiao Xuanjing was clearly organized, and what he said sounded very convincing. As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xuancong beside him raised his waist knife and shouted: "That's right, let my mother go and return her innocence!"
"Let Concubine Yelu go! Release people! Release people!"
"Release people! Release people!"
Driven by Xiao Xuancong, the surrounding soldiers immediately shouted in unison, and their voices were neat and high-pitched, shocking.
Chunju and Snow Kite turned pale in an instant, and their nervous eyes stared at Zhuang Meiyan. Zhuang Mei's face was as usual, her fingers did not tremble, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, at this moment, this faint smile fell in the eyes of the other party, obviously with a sense of mockery.
"If you are sure that your mother is innocent, then why do you come with swords and arrows, and do you think that swords and arrows will help your mother prove her innocence?"
"About the outcome of their mother's trial, Suna, you come and tell them. Zhuang Meiyan showed a look of disdain at the corner of her eyes, and instructed Suna.
Suna saluted respectfully, then turned to the two princes and said, "Whether she is innocent or not, Lord Wolf God has already made a fair decision. And she has a special identity, in Wuyang Kingdom, not to mention Lord Sikong, even if it is the queen, it is difficult to make a final judgment, everything can only wait for the lord to come back and make a decision. These are the words of the queen just now in the palace of the royal court. Two princes, your mother is safe now, but what you are doing now will only add to her sin, and it is too late for you to stop it. ”
Suna's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and there was a warning in her calmness.
Xiao Xuancong laughed violently, stared at Sun Na viciously, pointed the scimitar in his hand at her from afar, and said, "What qualifications do you, a woman who doesn't even have a surname, stand here and point fingers." ”
Suna's face turned pale, and she raised her hand to stop her younger brother Ghost Gus from pulling out the arm of the waist knife, and shook her head resolutely.
