The footsteps outside the hall became farther and farther away, Lou Yunxiao slowly stood up and walked out, picked up the phoenix hairpin from the ground and put it in the position of her heart.

She looked at the bloodstained gauze on her hand, tore it off and threw it on the ground.

Since the last time the imperial aunt came forward to relieve Lou Yunxiao, Concubine Shen Shu no longer had trouble with Lou Yunxiao. In the past few days, the palace has been very busy for Mu Cangyuan's affairs, and Xi Shangyi has no time to teach Lou Yunxiao and Ye Hanxi.

Lou Yunxiao has been locking herself in the west side hall for the past few days, and no one will open the door except for worry-free and able to bring food in. The Nine Emperor Princes came to bring her good food every day, but they were all turned away, and the Nine Emperor Princes were not annoyed, but came more diligently.

Worry-free, he had no choice but to go to the East Palace to find the prince.

"Lou San Niang, you torture yourself like this, Cangyuan knows how sad it should be." The prince said comfortably through the door.

As soon as the words fell, the door opened unprecedentedly. Lou Yunxiao looked a little haggard, she owed to the prince and asked him to sit down.

"Prince Lao is bothered, but it just so happens that you are here, I have something I want to do, I wonder if you can help me?"

Seeing that Lou Yunxiao's current state was acceptable, the prince's hanging heart also let go, "What do you do, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to help you." ”

Three days later, the soldiers returned to the city. This time, the streets of Chengtianmen were still full of people, but the people were not as jubilant as last time, and they were as solemn as the soldiers.

"Poor General Mu ...... at a young age

"I don't know where his body is now."

"The Mu family has really paid too much for Beisheng Jiangshan."

"I heard that the old generals of Zhongguo Gong Mu are sad in the mansion."

"The Mu family is just like that, and the only seedling is gone, it's really pitiful."

The people's talk reached the palace, and Emperor Shun was very sad, he was indeed ashamed of the Mu family and Mu Yichuan.

The Northern Holy Army won a complete victory in the battle of Huizhou, and Emperor Shun praised the meritorious soldiers as usual, and even posthumously awarded Mu Ling as the Marquis of Qianyang and went to the Zhuguo.

After that, Emperor Shun was sad for several days, and he was not even in the mood to go to the court.

The Zhongguo Mansion hung up a white tent and announced to the public that Mu Lingci was dead. The Nine Emperor Princes took Lou Yunxiao to look at the dazzling pales on the door of the Zhongguo Mansion from afar, and whispered in her ear: "You have seen it with your own eyes now, but are you dead?" ”

"Even if he really dies, I won't have any feelings for you, you better die." Lou Yunxiao said lightly, those pale colors were so dazzling, she didn't want to look at it anymore, and pushed away the Nine Emperor Princes and got into the carriage alone.

The Nine Emperors laughed instead of being angry, and walked towards the horse in front of the carriage. With a wave of his robe, he turned over and got on his horse, and there was no sadness in his eyes. To his delight, Lou Yunxiao's hair bun didn't see the eye-catching phoenix hairpin again, maybe Lou Yunxiao had slowly let go of Mu Ling's resignation.

And Lou Yunxiao in the carriage felt the shaking of the carriage, and slowly closed her eyes, as if she was waiting for something.

When he walked to Anmen Street, a person who was very similar to Mu Lingci's back suddenly rushed out of the crowd and ran in the opposite direction, and the Nine Emperor Princes locked on him at a glance, and immediately became fully guarded.

"Come on, send the third lady back to the palace!" The Nine Emperor Princes gave the order and chased after the figure alone.

But when he chased all the way to a ruined temple, when he pushed the door, he saw Lou Yunxue who was disheveled and fainted in the ruined temple. He was dumbfounded for a moment, although he didn't know what was going on, but it was always right to stay away from right and wrong. Just as he was about to leave, a man who was wide enough to block the door and an old man with a title deed appeared at the door.

The two of them looked at the sneaky Nine Emperor Princes, and then poked into the temple, where there was a disheveled woman lying inside.

The fat man immediately opened his arms to block the path of the Nine Emperor Princes, and shouted, "Stop! Bullying a woman at the feet of the Son of Heaven in broad daylight is really an animal act! Let's go, follow me to the government's mansion! ”

"I just happened to be passing through here, get out of the way!" How could the Nine Emperor Princes carry this black cauldron, and they will leave.

The fat man still refused to let him, "Look at you like a person with status, how can you do this kind of thing, this is going to make you run away, maybe how many women you have to harm!" ”

"Do you know what it is to slander the prince of the dynasty?" The Nine Emperor Princes couldn't bear it anymore, so they had to show the fish talisman from their waists, "Take a good look at who I am!" ”

Where can these two people understand this, they will drag him to the government for everything. The Nine Emperor Princes were so angry that their faces turned green, if it weren't for the remaining sanity to contain their anger, they were afraid that the two people in front of him who were pulling him hard would die.

Just when the two sides were deadlocked, Lou Yunxue, who had been unconscious, woke up, she sat up in a panic, put her hands in front of her chest and curled up together, looked at the back of the Nine Emperor Princes and said tremblingly: "Nine ......"

Only then did the fat man and the old man confirm his identity, and the Nine Emperors were afraid that these two would go out and talk nonsense, so they immediately stuffed them with a lot of treasures, and coerced and lured them not to talk nonsense.

After the Nine Emperors left, they immediately sent someone to inform Lou Fu, and Lou Qihuai quietly brought Lou Yunxue back to the mansion in order to protect the reputation of the Lou family.

thought that this farce would be over, but who knew that on the second day, the scandal of the Nine Emperors' insulting of the people's daughters spread all over the capital.

When Emperor Shun heard this, he was furious and immediately summoned the Nine Emperor Princes to the Palace of Eternal Life.

There were only Emperor Shun and the Nine Emperor Princes in the huge palace, and even Gonggong Qi went to wait outside the palace.

"Rebel! How could I have given birth to such a rebel as you! Emperor Shun raised his foot and kicked down the kneeling Nine Emperor Princes, "It's because I indulge you too much on weekdays that I make you so bold!" ”

The Nine Emperors were very unconvinced, sat up and looked directly into Emperor Shun's eyes, "Father, someone must have framed this matter!" I never did such a dirty thing! ”

"This matter has spread all over the city, do you know what the people are talking about you? The bones of Cangyuan are not cold, you will have fun doing this kind of thing in the broken temple! Can I believe that you are innocent, and can the people of the world believe in you? ”

The Nine Emperors knew in their hearts that he was being put on the table, but he was also difficult to argue with now.

Concubine Shen Shufei, who was still trying on makeup in the Scarlet Palace in the morning, heard about this and immediately rushed to the Palace of Eternal Life, Emperor Shun knew that she was coming, and he was not angry, so he allowed her to enter the palace but did not look at her properly.

Concubine Shen Shu looked at the Nine Emperor Princes kneeling on the ground, looked up at Emperor Shun again, and quickly stepped forward and knelt down.

"Holy Lord, Shi Che is definitely not such a person, he must have been wronged."

"Tell me, then, who is going to wronged him?"

Concubine Shen Shu just wanted to excuse the Nine Emperor Princes, she raised her head and replied cautiously: "The concubine thinks that it must be designed and framed by someone who sees Shi Che as a thorn in her side. The saint has made a clear judgment, don't listen to the villain's words and wronged Shiche. ”

Emperor Shun became even more angry when he heard this, turned around and picked up a pile of music from the table and threw it in front of the mother and son, and roared: "See for yourself!" How many courtiers advocated severe punishment! The words of the villain? According to what you say, my Manchu Dynasty civil and military are all villains! Only you, the Shen family, are loyal and good generals! ”

As soon as these words came out, a cold sweat broke out on Concubine Shen's back, "The concubine has no such intention." ”

Since the last time Qu Kangyu had an accident, the Shen family has been implicated, and Emperor Shun sent someone to secretly investigate what the Shen family has done in recent years, and finally let him find out some unsightly things about the Shen family. Buying and selling official positions, bending the law for personal gain, and taking bribes are punished as crimes.

But now is not the best time to punish the Shen family, Emperor Shun endured his anger and said to the Nine Emperors: "Do you know the woman who was bullied? ”

"I didn't dare to deceive my father, the woman who was bullied in the broken temple was Lou Yunxue, the fifth sister of the quasi-Nine Emperor Princesses. As long as she enters the palace and asks clearly, her innocence can be proven. ”

Emperor Shun was taken aback, and then shouted outside the hall: "Someone! ”

Gonggong Qi immediately bowed over and opened the door and walked in, "What does the Holy Lord command?" ”

"Sent someone to invite the five ladies of the Lou family to come, and said that the Nine Emperor Princesses have been unwell recently, and they have come to invite the five ladies to take care of them in the palace."

"Yes."

In the mansion, Lou Qihuai was also worried, and he looked at Lou Yunxue, who was sitting on the couch crying, helpless.

"Snow ......

Lou Qihuai was about to speak but felt that his arm was pulled, and when he looked back, Chu Yuxian was shaking his head at him.

"When my daughter's family encounters this kind of thing, it's better not to stimulate her. I've had someone prepare lily sea bass soup for her, which is the most soothing. Although Chu Yuxian hated Fu Yuewei, she was unwilling to impose her hatred on the next generation.

Lou Qihuai was very pleased to hold Chu Yuxian's hand, the real virtuous and the pretended virtuous are different, this is also what he realized after so many years, thinking that he believed in Fu Yuewei so much in the past, it was really stupid.

In the middle of the night, the female official in the palace came to Lou Mansion to invite Lou Yunxue into the palace, Lou Qihuai and Chu Yuxian looked at each other, and their hearts were up and down, but they couldn't say anything, so they could only respectfully hand over Lou Yunxue to the female official.

The sound of the horse's clattering hooves was like the sound of Lou Yunxue's heartbeat, and her mind rehearsed over and over what she was going to say when she faced the saint later.

In the Hall of Eternal Life, the queen and Lou Yunxiao also arrived, and the Nine Emperor Princes and Concubine Shen Shu were still kneeling on the ground. Although the floor is made of good Jinhuali, it is also very hard to kneel, and Concubine Shen Shufei kept rubbing her knees, but Emperor Shun had no intention of letting her get up.

At this time, a female official came into the hall to report, "Lou Wu Niangzi has arrived." ”

"Xuan." Emperor Shun said with a calm face.

After a while, Lou Yunxue hung her head and entered the hall, her afterglow glanced at the hall, and quickly stepped forward to salute: "The courtiers have seen the saint and the queen. ”

"Get up." Emperor Shun looked at this little girl's red eyes and knew how sad she had been crying for the past two days, and seeing this, his tone softened, "I have heard what happened to you, and I deeply sympathize, this kind of thing happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven in the dignified capital, and I will definitely uphold justice for you." ”

"Courtier, thank you for your care." Lou Yunxue's tears began to fall again.

Lou Yunxiao on the side couldn't help but smack her tongue, she deserved to be a good daughter taught by Fu Yuewei, this ability to cry is really not something that ordinary people can learn.

The queen gave Gan Tang beside her a look, and Gan Tang picked up a handkerchief and handed it to Lou Yunxue.

"Do you remember how you got to the ruined temple yesterday?" The queen asked.

Lou Yunxue wiped her tears and replied: "Back to Her Royal Highness the Queen, the courtiers went to the rouge shop in the south of the city yesterday to pick up some rouge, but I was stunned halfway, and when I woke up again...... looked at the Nine Emperor Princes with a little fear, "But the courtiers have not actually lost their lives, and the Nine Emperors have not done anything wrong to the courtiers." ”

"In this way, you didn't see who stunned you, only the Nine Emperor Princes." The queen's tone was gentle and seductive.

Shen Shufei became energetic when she heard this, "But if Lou Yunxue didn't have an accident, then it's none of Shiche's business." ”

"Sister, don't worry, even if Lou Yunxue didn't really violate it right now, it can't prove the innocence of the Nine Emperor Princes." The queen turned to look at Lou Yunxiao, "Yunxiao, the Nine Emperors said that they had been with you all yesterday, and he left halfway through the palace, yes or no?" ”

"Back to Her Royal Highness, it is true. However, the courtiers returned to the Wanfu Hall very early, and the Nine Emperors did not return to the palace until three o'clock, which was a full hour, and the courtiers did not know what happened during this time, and the courtiers did not know why the Nine Emperors left their courtiers and went to the broken temple. Lou Yunxiao said it to the point, and she also left herself clean.

The Nine Emperors' heart instantly cooled in half, it seemed that she really hated him. At this time, he also tried his best to clear up his relationship and push him into the abyss.

At this time, Gonggong Qi walked in quickly in a panic, "Holy Lord, now the people are rumoring that the person bullied by the Nine Emperor Princes is the fifth sister of the Nine Emperor Princesses, and they also denounced the Nine Emperor Princes as a person, saying that the Nine Emperor Princes are too romantic, ruthless and unrighteous, and I am sorry for the soldiers who died on the battlefield." ”

Everyone present was shocked, and the news spread too quickly.

The queen hurriedly said: "Holy Lord, the people have accumulated gold and destroyed their bones, and it is most important to calm the anger of the people right now. ”

The influence of public opinion is very great, and the Nine Emperor Princes violated their future wives and sisters when the bones of the martyrs were not cold, which was an insult to the soldiers who fought to the death, and an insult to Knowles. If the royal family favors the Nine Emperors, it will be nothing for the soldiers who died on the battlefield.

The most important thing now is to calm the anger of the people, and it will not be good if someone takes advantage of it to make trouble. At the same time, I have to give Knowles an explanation.

Emperor Shun pondered for a moment, and finally settled down, slapped the table and said: "In this way, the Nine Emperor Princes will be locked up and handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation." The Lou clan was deeply affected by it and gave a gold medal to avoid death as a sign of appeasement. ”

Suddenly, Lou Yunxiao stood up and knelt in front of Emperor Shun, "Holy Lord, the courtiers implore the Holy Lord to take back their fate." ”
