Chapter 48: Framed
"Mother!" Yuan Nian looked at Yuan Zhu in disbelief, her eyes were red, and she said in a trembling voice, "The eldest sister is rebelling, the mother emperor doesn't believe it, but she questions Nian'er, does the mother really love the eldest sister so much?!" ”
"Presumptuous!" Yuan Su got up and pointed at Yuan Nian angrily, "Isn't it disobedient that you talk to me like this?" ”
Seeing that Yuan Zhu was angry, Su Zhong hurriedly grabbed Yuan Nian and knelt down to admit his mistake: "Nian'er lost her words, please see that she is still young, spare her this time." ”
Yuan Zhao looked at his mother's unmoved appearance, and his heart was both astringent and warm.
She thought that the mother would not easily blame herself, but she didn't expect the mother to hear her rebellion, and she didn't waver at all.
Mo Qingtang didn't expect Yuan Zhu to favor Yuan Zhao so much, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, it's a big rebellion, according to the minister's foolish opinion, why don't you go and see if there is evidence in the eldest princess's mansion, if not, it will also return the innocence of the eldest princess, and now the rumors are terrible, and it is the most unfavorable for the eldest princess to pass it on like this!" ”
Tan Jiuzhou snorted coldly: "If you know that it is a foolish opinion, don't say it and be embarrassed!" How can the eldest princess's mansion be searched at will, and besides, if there is no evidence in the princess's mansion, what should it be? ”
Yuan Nian said with tears in his eyes: "Nian'er is willing to use his life as a guarantee, if there is no evidence, Nian'er will apologize for his crime with death." ”
Looking at Yuan Nian's sad and sad expression, Yuan Su's face sank like water, but he didn't say a word.
Yuan Zhao stepped forward and said loudly: "Mother Emperor, let the guards search the mansion, and the ministers have a clear conscience." ”
Seeing Yuan Zhao's frank appearance, Yuan Zhu frowned: "Zhao'er ......"
Yuan Zhao knelt on the ground, bowed down, and then raised his head and said: "Mother Emperor, the sons are not afraid of these gossips, but some people deliberately separate the flesh and blood relationship between the sons and daughters and the mother emperor, and the sons and daughters are unwilling to indulge!" ”
Yuan Zhao's eyes were full of gloom, and her voice was like a cold blade, with a bloodthirsty sonorous sound, sliding past Yuan Nian's ears, making her heart tremble.
Won-so's eyebrows deepened slightly, and he sighed lightly: "In this case, it's up to you." ”
"The son thanked the mother." Yuan Zhao bowed respectfully, glanced at Mo Qingtang on the side, and his voice was clear, "I thought it was just that Mo Shizi had a close relationship with the fifth sister, but now it seems that the general and the fifth sister also have a lot of friendship." ”
Mo Qingtang's face darkened, and he said lightly: "The minister is just speaking bluntly, and I hope that the eldest princess will not speak falsely." ”
Yuan Zhao raised his eyes slightly, didn't speak again, turned around and walked to Tan Jiuzhou's side.
Tan Jiuzhou glanced at her, and saw that her eyes were clear, and he didn't care about this sudden accusation.
He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Yuan Zhao must have been prepared.
Yuan Zhu sat back on the phoenix throne and glanced at Mo Qingtang and Yuan Nian, with a bit of inexplicable depth in his eyes.
The people in the main hall waited quietly for the return of the guards who had gone to search.
It didn't take long for Xia Ruday, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, to return to the palace to resume his life.
"How? What did you find? Won-so looked up at him.
Xia Ruday glanced at Yuan Zhao, took out the letter searched in his sleeve, and presented it to Yuan Zhu and said: "Your Majesty, this is from the makeup box in the eldest princess's bedroom, the box is locked, and the subordinates are offended, and they ordered someone to smash the lock open." ”
Won-su looked at the stack of letters, his eyes tightened, and he said in a deep voice, "Take it." ”
Seeing Won-so's increasingly ugly look, Won-nian couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart.
Yuan Zhao, today is your death!
Throwing the stack of letters to the ground, Won-su shouted in a deep voice: "Won-nian, kneel!" ”
