Chapter Twenty-Four: Fighting Side by Side
Shi Lingyan covered her forehead in pain, and glanced at Mu Hua: "Do I think I'm fine?" Sure enough, Shi Lingyan's forehead was obviously red and swollen.
Mu Hua knew that he was wrong, and ignored Shi Lingyan's unreasonableness, and was about to step forward to help her, but was interrupted by Shi Lingyue, "Sister, this is in front of the emperor, how can you be so unreasonable, and don't get up quickly." The disgust was palpable.
This sentence reminded Shi Lingyan, just now she only complained about Mu Hua, she hurriedly stood up and hugged her fists to the emperor and said: "The people's daughter Shi Lingyan sees the emperor." ”
Everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded, she is the daughter of the prime minister, how to say that she is also a courtier, not a people's daughter, and how can there be a woman who clasps her fists and salutes, compared with the gentle and decent lady of the prime minister's mansion, this second lady is like an uncivilized savage.
Although the emperor was not shocked on the surface, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but looking at Shi Lingyan's disapproving look in front of him, the emperor was a little curious.
Shi Lingyue still wanted to teach Shi Lingyan a lesson in front of His Majesty on this matter, but the emperor had already spoken first: "That's it, there's no need to be polite." Then he said, "I came to you today to ask about your marriage." ”
There is no such thing in his plan, hearing this, Shi Lingyue has already messed up, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily, where can this scene escape the emperor's eyes, "Miss Xiangfu, if I remember correctly, the person I gave the marriage should be you." ”
Shi Lingyue hurriedly knelt down: "Back to Your Majesty, the courtiers don't know anything about this matter." She didn't dare to raise her head, but her body was a little biased towards Mu An.
Where did Mu An see that his sweetheart was interrogated like this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Father, the parties to this matter are King Guangping and the second miss, as for why the person who finally married into the Guangping palace is the second miss, I think it is better to ask the second miss directly." In the end, he still kicked the matter to Shi Lingyan out of his heart.
If this matter is to be seriously investigated, it will be a crime of bullying the king, and now I see that the emperor does not want to make this matter trivial, otherwise he would not have specially summoned them to the palace to confront him.
Mu An didn't intend to hurt Shi Lingyan, but for the sake of Shi Lingyue, he had to do it, Mu Hua looked like he was watching a good show, he was not interested in women and marriage, hasn't this woman always been sharp-toothed, he wants to see how she wants to defend this time.
The emperor's eyes have been fixed on Shi Lingyan, and he understands the reason very well in his heart, just to see how this girl can defend herself.
Shi Lingyan smiled slightly and said to the emperor: "I did this thing, on the day of the wedding, I stunned my sister and got on the sedan chair instead of her." ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderclap exploding in everyone's ears, and everyone's faces could no longer hide their surprise, Shi Lingyue of course hoped that someone could take the blame for herself, but she didn't expect Shi Lingyan to take the initiative to admit it, only Mu Hua still glanced at Shi Lingyan expressionlessly, and there was a flash of light in her eyes.
The emperor restrained his emotions, "Why are you risking your head to do this?"
"Because ......" Shi Lingyan glanced at Mu Hua, her eyes were full of admiration, "Because I love the prince, I have been in love with the prince for a long time, as long as I can be with him, I am willing to take this risk." After speaking, he looked at the emperor with a firm look.
I thought that this woman would come up with a bunch of reasons to exonerate herself, but I didn't expect her to openly confess her thoughts, the emperor was speechless for a long time, he didn't believe that there was such a loyal woman in this world, but he didn't expect that there were still women who fell in love with this cold Mu Hua.
The eyes around him gradually changed from surprise to sympathy, and even some regret, compared with the unswerving love to death, what is the crime of bullying the king.
"Fight with the old lady. Shi Lingyan just didn't laugh, no one would embarrass a person with deep affection from ancient times to the present, she gambled that the emperor would not cure her crimes.
This woman can surprise him at any time, although Mu Hua knew that this was Shi Lingyan's plan, but for some reason, when he heard Shi Lingyan say that he liked himself, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull out a smile, and he was in an inexplicably good mood now.
The emperor's face gradually softened, thinking that this Mu Hua had such a brutal temperament, how many women died under his hands, but this Shi Lingyan was unharmed in the Guangping Palace for so many days, it seems that Mu Hua also likes her, what can he say if he has a lover who eventually becomes a family.
"Your Majesty. The emperor just wanted to let Shi Lingyan go, but Shi Lingyue, who had been silent on the side, spoke, "This matter is the negligence of our Prime Minister's Mansion, my sister despises the imperial power so much, and asks the emperor to punish the crime." The tone was urgent.
hurriedly pulled Rashi Lingyue's sleeve and signaled that she didn't need to say more. But Shi Lingyue didn't pay attention to him, giving up the opportunity to marry Mu Hua in vain had already made her regret it a lot, and this time she couldn't let Shi Lingyan pick up the cheap.
Looking at the emperor's expression, he was already about to pardon himself, is Shi Lingyue crazy at this juncture, Shi Lingyan glanced at her, and her eyes were cold: "If you want to play, the old lady will play with you to the end." ”
Shi Ling turned around suddenly: "Sister, you ...... The reason why I did this is also for you, sister, is that you washed your face with tears in the mansion all day long, saying that you don't want to marry King Quang Binh, and you are afraid that you will not survive the wedding night......" said a few tears from his eyes.
Shi Lingyue hurriedly interrupted her words: "You are talking nonsense, how can I ......" She subconsciously glanced at Mu Hua, only to see that Mu Hua's face was already like frost.
"Alright, there's no need to argue. As soon as the emperor spoke, everyone stopped making a sound, Mu Hua's brutal reputation was already profound, and even a woman was afraid of him, how could the emperor not know, but what Shi Lingyan said in front of him must be more credible.
"Since that......'s the case," the emperor groaned, but was interrupted by Mu Hua, who had been silent: "In this case, the son begs his father to make the mistake of me in this marriage, and I am willing to make Shi Lingyan my concubine." ”
The emperor looked at Mu Hua suspiciously, this kid has not been close to women for so many years, why is he interested in an ugly girl now, "Are you serious?" asked the emperor.
Mu Hua immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to the emperor and said: "Erchen is serious, I am in love with the second lady, I hope that my father can fulfill us, and Erchen promises that he will only have Shi Lingyan and a concubine, and will never set up a side concubine." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, this remark was even more shocking than Shi Lingyan's bold words just now, only Shi Lingyan still looked light, she and Mu Hua glanced at each other, although they just took what they needed, but at this time, the two of them were like comrades fighting side by side, and they invariably conveyed a message to each other: We won.
