The moment seemed to stand still.

The emperor was surrounded by everyone, frowning and staring at the situation on the terrace, Shen Zhan stood on his right, his expression nervous and indifferent, but there was a little more warmth and anger in his eyes; The crown prince and other princes on the right were shocked when they saw this scene.

"What is this doing?" The emperor squinted his eyes and spoke in a flat tone, breaking the picture that seemed to be static.

The two palace ladies suddenly "broke free" from Ye Lingwu's clamped wrists, and without even tidying up their clothes, they hurriedly knelt down to kowtow, and their bodies trembled like chaff.

Ye Lingwu's body was detached from the railing, and he slowly sat on the ground, wiping his tears with his head buried, looking pitiful on the surface, but at the moment he was only thinking about how to "punish the crime" next.

Facing the emperor's obscurity, the sixth princess broke out in a cold sweat, opened her mouth, and before her voice came out, she saw that Shen Zhan was already walking towards her despite everyone's eyes.

In normal times, the sixth princess would definitely be shy, but in the face of Shen Zhan's gradually solemn and cold face at this moment, the sixth princess was so frightened that she even forgot her reaction, and was about to call his name again, but saw that Shen Zhan had already passed her and walked towards the girl who was sitting on the ground.

At that time, Ye Lingwu was still immersed in his "play", crying with his chin low, and even secretly sighed that his acting skills had regressed, and the tears in his eyes couldn't fall.

Just as she wanted to blink hard, the surroundings suddenly went dark.

Ye Lingwu was stunned and slowly looked up.

- Apricot eyes are round, breathing arrest!

Shen Zhan, who had not been seen for nearly two months, suddenly appeared, and her body naturally burst out with overwhelming power, and her tall figure pressed down like a mountain, obviously it was dog days, but her whole person was shrouded in darkness.

Shen Zhan's eyes were gloomy, and he looked at Ye Lingwu condescendingly, and did not pull her, but turned to look at the emperor: "Your Majesty, during the state funeral, the sixth princess and her palace maids dared to kill people within the scope of the Tai'an Palace, is this move not respectful to the virtuous Empress Dowager?" ”

Hearing this, the emperor's face sank suddenly, and there was no trace of ups and downs in his unfathomable black eyes, which was originally one hand behind him, and suddenly changed to two hands, staring at the six princesses lightly, not sending one.

The Son of Heaven was not angry and arrogant, but he didn't say a word, but he scared the six princesses into having no master.

She immediately stepped forward and knelt down, raised her arms and bowed until her forehead touched the ground, and pondered for a long time, but replied without any quibbles: "Father and emperor are angry, and sons and daughters are ...... Erchen ...... Erchen was just joking with this sister, and he didn't want to put her to death, it was the two palace ladies who had no weight in their hands and pushed people on the railing. ”

In the palace, no one knows the temper of the six princesses, even a few princes who don't like gossip, they have heard of the arrogant deeds of the six princesses.

Yes, when the fifth prince and the seventh prince saw this, they did not speak out to defend it, but the prince said: "Father, the sixth sister is sensible, and I embroidered a pair of words for you at your birthday banquet last time, this time I think it was a misunderstanding." ”

"Yes, father," the sixth princess responded, "It's all a misunderstanding, it was the girl who provoked the son first, and the son just made a joke to warn her, and he didn't really want to push her off the terrace, and he hoped that his father would know it." ”

The emperor looked towards the terrace, but saw that Shen Zhan blocked the white-robed girl on the ground tightly, squinted his eyes and speculated, hooked the corners of his mouth and snorted lightly, and said, "What did she do to provoke you so that you had to make such a joke during the state funeral?" ”

The sixth princess choked and said weakly: "She has ...... these days Her eyes were disrespectful, and she saw that her son's words were missing. ”

"A good disrespectful look and a loss of words, the sixth sister is really extraordinary, and she can endure it for a few days before she teaches a lesson, which is admirable." The Seventh Prince interjected. His mother has always hated Shen Meiren, and if she has the opportunity to step on it, why not do it.

The sixth princess glanced at the seventh prince.

The emperor frowned slightly, looked at the terrace and said, "I know this girl when I see the boat?" Why don't you let her talk back in person? ”

Shen Zhan was silent, looked sideways at the girl on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty asked you to reply, and you haven't gone to the imperial front." ”

Ye Lingwu was stunned for a moment, how could this tone sound very unfriendly, and there was even a hint of anger?

She didn't think much about it, she got up and knelt down, she didn't have time to kowtow like the sixth princess, but she heard the emperor say: "What's your name, which girl?" ”

“…… Back to His Majesty, the courtier's name is Ye Lingwu, the daughter of the Ye family of Yuzhou businessman, who was raised in the courtyard of the old lady Shen in the Hou Mansion of Ningbei half a year ago. ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, glanced at Shen Zhan, who was exuding cold air all over his body, and then looked down at Ye Lingwu, and said with a meaningful smile: "It turned out to be the girl under the knee of Mrs. Shen, no wonder you know it." Fang Cai Hongling said that your eyes are disrespectful and your words are wrong, but is there such a thing? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there is such a thing." Ye Ling Wu Nuo Nuo Road.

The sixth princess didn't expect her to admit it directly, and said happily in her heart: "Father, she has admitted it herself, and the son really just wants to teach her a lesson, and doesn't want to push her ......."

"But this is also the sixth princess to do it to the courtiers first," Ye Lingwu took a deep breath and said in the eyes of everyone, "Last time I went back to the polo field, the sixth princess took six martial maids to oppress the courtiers, and the courtier's female envoy was injured because of this, Your Majesty might as well ask the sixth princess if there is such a thing?" ”

The sixth princess was shocked, and she was about to quibble, but when the words came to her lips and she swallowed back, if everyone knew that she was because of Shen Zhancai's action, this princess's face would really be lost.

Just when she had nothing to say, she heard the sound of messy and hurried footsteps around the corner, and the female voice had already floated before she could reach it.

- "Your Majesty, Hongling is still young and has done something wrong, please deal with it lightly. ”

Everyone looked for a sound and turned around, and saw Shen Meiren, who was dressed in white and wearing plain makeup, leading several palace ladies from the corner of the corridor, although the pace was hurried but steady, and they didn't even move the steps on their heads.

"Why are you here?" The emperor was secretly displeased.

Shen Meiren stood beside the sixth princess, raised her arms and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines and daughters are not strict, and they actually make Hongling so stubborn that they dare to quarrel with others during the state funeral of the Queen Mother. ”

"It's not a dispute with someone, it's a unilateral oppression, and whoever struggles with someone is pressed on the railing by someone, and has no power to fight back." The Seventh Prince muttered in a low voice.

Shen Meiren frowned and said timidly: "Your Majesty, Hongling is young and doesn't know the severity, the concubine will take her back to the palace to discipline her strictly." ”

"Young? Shen Meiren will not think that the sentence 'young' will ask His Majesty to forgive the six princesses for their crimes during the state funeral? Shen Zhan, who had been silent, finally spoke.

The crown prince and the two princes looked at each other, as if it was strange that Shen Zhan would speak out to protect a girl. The emperor's eyes were dark, staring at Shen Zhan and Ye Lingwu inexplicably, unable to guess their thoughts. The sixth princess trembled, and at this moment, she was very ruthless in her heart, and she was also sad that Shen Zhan would speak for her.

The atmosphere was delicate, Shen Meiren lifted the skirt and knelt down, raised her arms and put her hands in front of her forehead, and said: "Your Majesty, Hongling is making trouble today, but for the sake of her heart disease, she will be punished lightly." ”

"Mother ......" The sixth princess squeezed out two lines of tears.

The emperor closed his eyes, out of sight and out of mind, and thought: "Hongling has been grounded in Jinhe Palace for three months, and Shen Meiren has not been strict with her daughter, so she has thought about it together." As for the two palace laves, they will be fined for one year. ”

"Father, the emperor ......" the sixth princess wailed, obviously dissatisfied.

The prince was afraid that she would say too much, so he immediately ordered: "Why don't you take the sixth princess back to Jinhe Palace and take good care of it." ”
