Chapter 94: Xiao Wenjun also has a dramatic side
Wang Guifei, who was beside Xiao Wenjun, pulled the corner of her skirt hard, signaling her to kneel down quickly. And Xiao Wenjun just gave her a reassuring look, that is, he faced the emperor directly.
At the same time, Yu Wenyao also saw Xiao Wenjun who stood out from the crowd, and secretly said that it was not good in her heart, and she didn't know if Concubine Guo said anything that she shouldn't say, and she grabbed the handle.
Fortunately, he was cautious and gave the eldest prince's personal guard a sufficient amount of medicine, but at this moment he was still crazy, leaving an opportunity and excuse to kill him, so that no information was revealed in his mouth.
"Lord Lanling, what is your explanation for this?" The emperor's face returned to calm, and he looked at Xiao Wenjun's eyes, revealing a gloomy owl.
"Back to Your Majesty, the courtiers don't know what you want the courtiers to explain? After the courtiers were brought here by Guo Concubine Niangniang, they fell asleep, and when they woke up, they didn't see anyone, Xu was drunk and the courtiers were very thirsty, there was no water in the house, and the courtiers went out to find tea, but they got lost. ”
"After walking outside for a while, I saw the palace lights moving here, and then I followed the light, fortunately you traveled to the Taihe Hall at night, otherwise the courtiers couldn't find their way all night." Xiao Wenjun answered logically, clearly, and respectfully.
The emperor didn't believe half a word of what the emperor said to Xiao Wenjun, and continued to ask: "Even if that's the case, why do you want to change your clothes?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty." Xiao Wenjun lowered his head, showing just the right amount of shame.
Concubine Guo was careful, and when she saw that the sleeves of the courtiers were stained with blood, she was afraid that the courtiers would sleep with their clothes and wrinkle their clothes, and lose their etiquette, so she carefully instructed the courtiers to take them off. When the courtier woke up, she didn't find her original clothes, so she had to change into a spare one. ”
The explanation is very far-fetched, but after thinking about it, Xiao Wenjun, as a person who entered the palace for the first time, does not understand etiquette, and it is very likely that he will be manipulated in this regard.
"Father, the injury on the face of the county lord of Lanling was still caused by his son, everyone saw it today, and he can't fake it." Hearing this, the fourth princess felt even more guilty about Xiao Wenjun, thinking that it was her own reason that caused Xiao Wenjun to be suspected by her father.
The emperor's majestic gaze fell on the face of the fourth princess, the meaning of warning was obvious, and he turned to Xiao Wenjun: "Concubine Guo was drugged, do you know who ordered it?" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Wenjun raised his head in surprise, his eyes drifted to the inner room unconsciously, as if he realized something, and lowered his head hurriedly, and suddenly his face was so red that he could drip blood.
"Back to Your Majesty, the courtier, a woman who has not left the cabinet, where does she know these things?"
The voice is like a mosquito and a fly, but the words are clear, and everyone present can hear it clearly.
The emperor was stunned, but he didn't plan to let Xiao Wenjun go, she was just an orphan girl who didn't have any foundation in Kyoto, the Lanling Xiao family couldn't be her backer, but she still needed her to support her, he didn't believe that anyone would dare to help her at this time.
"Concubine Guo was drugged and had an affair with a man here! Why should you be here at this moment, you, no, here? ”
There is great malice in the words, no matter how you interpret it, you will be contaminated by this filthy thing, and the name will definitely leave a stain!
"Your Majesty! You've asked so many questions from your courtiers, do you mean? Do you think that the person these people want to harm is a courtier? Xiao Wenjunyu pointed to the inner room with his hand, his fingertips trembled, his eyes instantly turned red, and his face turned pale.
Without waiting for the emperor to interject, Xiao Wenjun continued to cry.
"Pity me, a helpless orphan girl, who came to Kyoto by order, just to complete Your Majesty's marriage, why as soon as I enter the palace, there will be people who want to harm the courtiers, and even set such a vicious trap!"
"Which nobleman did the courtier offend and want to put the courtier's daughter to death like this?" Xiao Wenjun cried so much that it was pear blossoms with rain, his liver and intestines were broken, those who heard it were sad, and those who watched it wept.
"Fortunately, God has mercy, Your Majesty and the ladies of the palace came in time to see this matter clearly."
"Your Majesty Xie and the ladies have proved the innocence of the courtiers." After that, Xiao Wenjun bowed to Yingying, and his sincere little face was more real than pearls.
What Xiao Wenjun said was "see clearly", even if there were rumors in the future, so many pairs of eyes in the harem could see clearly, and she was clean and unstained.
The emperor looked at her sharply, the grievances, fears, and tears on his face were perfect without the slightest flaw, and under the pressure of the emperor, he could still be unfazed, and he was really bold! It's me who underestimated her.
pondering her last few words, her sharp gaze swept towards the others.
Wherever the emperor could see, everyone lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at him.
Nonsense! At this time, the lower the sense of presence, the better.
Of course, there are still people who can't hide, such as the eldest prince, the emperor looked at him with anger and disappointment, but he just didn't question it. But not everyone is Xiao Wenjun, and in the emperor's sharp eyes, he can also be at ease.
For another example, when Yu Wenyao felt the emperor's gaze fall on the top of his head, his breathing became sluggish, and his whole body tensed, as if any small movement could arouse the emperor's suspicion, thus triggering the emperor's landslide-like anger.
Only then did he realize that the eyes of everyone just now were not worth mentioning.
Seeing that the emperor and Xiao Wenjun were deadlocked, no matter how much they questioned, they couldn't find anything, this is not a place to stay for a long time, after all, it is a scandalous thing that will cause trouble in the palace, and it would be better to disperse earlier.
"Your Majesty, this is not the place to speak." The queen whispered.
Hearing this, the emperor gradually calmed down, and glanced at everyone again, "Let's disperse, An Shi sent someone to send the palace masters back and clean up the slut, shame on you!" ”
"No one is allowed here! Violators, beheaded! ”
"After disposing of it, I will call the people of Gong Weisi to come and see me!" The Emperor strode out, and the rest of the people followed.
Many people secretly regret that curiosity kills people, this kind of unfortunate thing is called that they have encountered it, and just now they were laughing at those palace concubines who did not come with them, and missed the show; Only then did I understand that sometimes the closer you are to Your Majesty, the more dangerous it is.
The entire palace, shrouded in the night, suppressed the atmosphere of the mountain rain, except for Guo Concubine who was placed in the warm pavilion and looked for someone to take care of her, the other palace concubines and princesses were all sent back to their bedrooms and mansions.
Although the emperor did not explicitly say that he was grounded, but since the masters of each palace returned to the palace, they have closed the palace doors and cut off contact with the outside of the palace. The palace masters also stopped moving, waiting for the last boot to hit the ground in fear.
The prince and princess who went out of the palace and opened the palace are also closed-door thanks, and all worship posts will not be accepted.
But this matter, even if it is hidden deeply, will be dug up, and it will be vaguely circulated among the people, and there are various versions.
