Chapter 12 The emperor should not be deceived by villains
"Mother, don't be sad, the emperor will make decisions for us."
Seeing that her mother was so sad, Concubine Shu hurriedly spoke to comfort her.
Under the comfort of Concubine Shu, Xu's crying voice became quieter.
Seeing this, the emperor opened his mouth at the right time and asked:
"Shen Jiayin, are you sure you didn't whip Xu Zifeng in front of the public yesterday?"
The emperor's face was dark, and his eyes were like torches, as if Shen Jiayin was going to drag her out and behead her if he didn't say it well.
"Your Majesty, when I heard the mother of the lady concubine say this, the courtiers remembered something."
Shen Jiayin said thoughtfully as if she had suddenly realized.
Xu stopped crying and looked at Shen Jiayin, waiting to see what she was going to say.
The prince on the side sneered and looked at Shen Jiayin with disdain.
Shen Jiayin took in the looks of all the people present, she spoke lightly, and continued:
"Yesterday, the courtiers just returned to the capital, and they have not returned for three years, and the changes in the capital are too great, and there are many emotions for a while. So he abandoned the carriage and walked home instead. ”
"But the courtiers never thought of it."
As soon as Shen Jiayin's words changed, his eyes began to become sharp, and his face was full of anger.
"In the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, in broad daylight and bright days, there are still men who dare to tease women on the street, and they also say that they want their courtiers to laugh at him, and they also ask their courtiers to go to his house to be ...... for him."
"Your Majesty, she, she's talking nonsense!"
Xu naturally knew his son's habits, and when he heard Shen Jiayin say this, he was afraid that the emperor would listen to what Shen Jiayin said, so he hurriedly stood up again, interrupted Shen Jiayin's words, looked at the emperor and said:
"Your Majesty, she, Shen Jiayin, is just looking for an excuse to shirk the matter of whipping my son!"
"The emperor must not be deceived by the villain!"
Seeing that Xu arranged himself like this, Shen Jiayin also looked at Xu angrily and said sharply:
"What I said is not the truth, the emperor has his own conclusion in his heart, where do you need guidance?!"
"Or are you smarter than the emperor, and the emperor still needs you to guide?!"
"Bold!"
Gonggong Xu, who was beside the emperor, stood up and rebuked loudly.
"The emperor forgives his sins!"
Shen Jiayin immediately lowered her head and stopped talking.
And Xu quickly knelt down, looked at the emperor and said:
"Your Majesty, the courtiers definitely don't mean that, the courtiers just ...... Courtiers are just ......"
The two sentences that Shen Jiayin said can be described as murderous, one can't be explained, and the trouble is so bad that he can move at any time, and Xu's heart is in his throat.
But for a moment, her mind turned to knots and she couldn't think of any explanation, so she could only look at her daughter as if she were crying for help.
"Your Majesty, my mother is also worried about Feng'er, Feng'er's injured mother is anxious, and I hope the emperor will forgive me."
After receiving Xu's distress signal, Concubine Shu stroked her stomach and looked at the emperor and explained unhurriedly.
Now that she is pregnant with a dragon fetus, no matter what, the emperor will favor her.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm concerned about it, and if I care, it's messy."
After hearing Concubine Shu's words, Xu also nodded in approval.
"Xu, you get up first."
The emperor frowned, looked at Xu who was kneeling on the ground and said.
"Thank you for your kindness."
Seeing that the emperor called herself up, Xu Shi was a little relieved, she quietly raised her eyes to look at the emperor, waiting for him to continue to speak, and did not dare to talk nonsense at all.
After Xu stood up, the emperor looked at Shen Jiayin and said:
"Shen Jiayin, you continue."
The emperor's face couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry at all, his fingers kept rubbing the wrench on his thumb, and he looked at Shen Jiayin inexplicably.
"Yes."
Shen Jiayin knew that the emperor was looking at her, but she still continued unhurriedly:
"That man wants his courtiers to be his concubine, and it is naturally impossible for the courtiers to agree, not to mention that our woman's marriage needs the orders of her parents, and the eldest daughter of the dignified Guogong Mansion will be a concubine for an unknown man, and the face of our Guogong Mansion will be lost, wouldn't you be ashamed of the grandfather of the courtier?"
"But when the man saw that the courtiers refused, he wanted to come forward and do evil things to the courtiers in the street."
"The courtiers have no choice but to fight back desperately!"
What Shen Jiayin said was a vivid image, which vividly rendered the premise that she had to resist.
"Later, after the courtiers beat them all down, they were able to get out."
Shen Jiayin sighed and said helplessly:
"The courtiers don't dare to imagine how yesterday's events would have ended if they hadn't known a little bit of kung fu."
"You ......"
After hearing Shen Jiayin's words, Xu was so angry that she didn't want to fight anywhere, but she didn't dare to interrupt Shen Jiayin's words anymore, after all, it was the emperor who asked her to continue.
"Your Majesty, that's how the whole thing happened."
Shen Jiayin looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair and said calmly.
The emperor stopped rubbing his fingers, looked at Xu, and asked in a deep voice:
"Xu, what Shen Jiayin said, but is it true?"
"Wronged, Your Majesty!"
When Xu saw that the emperor finally knew that he was going to ask himself, he immediately shouted loudly.
"Say it well!"
Xu's voice was too loud and unusually harsh, and the emperor looked at Xu with some displeasure and said coldly.
Originally, this was supposed to be his lunch break, but he had to deal with these chores and be tormented by this harsh voice, how could his mood be beautiful?
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Seeing that the emperor was displeased, Xu immediately suppressed his voice and said cautiously:
"Your Majesty, the courtiers brought over those little people who were not beaten very badly, as well as a few onlookers, and the emperor can let them tell you what the real story is."
Xu's heart, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the little guy she said is from her house, and it is unknown whether the people she found were really there.
After thinking for a while, Shen Jiayin also looked at the emperor and said:
"Your Majesty, the courtier's maid Peony was also present at the time, if you need it, you can also let her talk about it."
After Xu Shi heard Shen Jiayin's words, he immediately sneered, looked at Shen Jiayin with disdain and said:
"Your maid is naturally there to help you speak."
"Then the little guy in your house, isn't it also helping you speak?"
Shen Jiayin retorted mercilessly.
"But they've all been beaten by you, they're victims!"
Xu Shi replied unwillingly, and after finishing speaking, she also found that what she said seemed to be very reasonable, so she added:
"Four or five little guys, all of them were beaten by you, Shen Jiayin, your heart is really ruthless!"
The emperor ignored the quarrel between the two of them, and instead gestured to Gonggong Xu beside him.
Gonggong Xu got the order and walked out of the imperial study quickly.
After a while, the little guy and the people Xu said were brought in by Grandpa Xu.
"Slaves see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
"The grass people see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
Several people knelt together in front of the emperor, their heads slamming heavily on the ground.
These low-level people can enter the palace to meet the emperor, but the blessings that can only be cultivated in a few lifetimes are naturally cautious and cannot take a wrong step.
"What you saw and heard yesterday, I will be truthful."
"Otherwise......"
The emperor's words were not spoken, but they all knew that if they dared to commit the crime of defrauding the king, they would inevitably have to move their heads.
The two little guys were a little trembling, they looked at Xu Shi with some fear, and they didn't dare to speak.
"What do you think I'm doing? Speak! ”
Seeing that they didn't speak, Xu Shi looked at himself instead, and a trace of emptiness flashed in his eyes.
"Did you hear that, you have to explain it properly."
Shen Jiayin deliberately bit the word "good" heavily, hoping to shake their minds.
After listening to Shen Jiayin's words, the bodies of the two little guys couldn't help but tremble.
"Return, return to the emperor's words."
One of the little guys was bold, but a little stammering, and said:
"Yesterday, our son-in-law, walking and walking on the street, was whipped by Miss Shen with a whip, and his skin was broken."
After he started speaking, he became emboldened, and began to fluently say all the words he had memorized in the house.
"A few of us who followed Gongzi wanted to go up to save Gongzi, but all of them were knocked to the ground, Miss Shen's whip was really good, and our four or five little guys couldn't get close at all."
"After we all fell to the ground and couldn't move, Miss Shen was relieved and took her maid away."
"Among the onlookers at that time, there were still people who recognized Miss Shen and said that the Demon King of the Mixed World had returned."
After saying that, the little guy closed his mouth and stayed silently aside.
And Xu glanced at Shen Jiayin proudly, then pointed at Shen Jiayin and looked at the emperor and said:
"Your Majesty, she Shen Jiayin used to be known as the Demon King of the Mixed World in the capital, and no one dared to approach her to offend her."
"Heh~ Even if I am the Demon King of the Mixed World, those who know me know that as long as you don't mess with me, I will never embarrass you for no reason."
Shen Jiayin said with a cold face, looking at Xu.
She has her own rules of doing things, and she can't be used as a handle for no reason.
"Tell me, is he telling the truth?"
The emperor looked at the remaining three and asked in a deep voice, and after he finished speaking, the coercion belonging to the emperor was released by him.
The emperor is only over fifty years old now, he ascended the throne at twenty-five, but in five years he used iron-blooded means to complete the rectification of the entire dynasty, and now he has been the emperor for more than 20 years.
The prince of Nanshang on the side was also full of surprise when he saw the emperor like this.
From the time he came to Daliang and saw the emperor to the present, the emperor looked unhappy or angry, until now he really saw the majesty of this emperor.
Compared with his father, it is really difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom, no wonder his father has always sighed.
