Xianfu Palace.
Xiao Yu sat on the throne of red sandalwood inlaid with jade and chrysanthemum, rubbed the white jade wrench in his hand, and said coldly, "If you have something to say, tell me."
When Concubine Xue heard his "frozen three feet" voice, a cheering heart couldn't help sinking.
It is ridiculous to say that she has been in the palace for more than three years, and today is the first time the emperor has stepped into the Xianfu Palace.
For another woman.
Concubine Xue handed the letter in her hand to Xiao Yu, and said softly, "Your Majesty, let's take a look."
Xiao Yu took it and opened it directly.
In the letter, Qin Yu's deeds before entering the palace were recorded in great detail.
For example, when did Qin Wei use the identity of the Xue family's daughter to buy the actor, when did the actor flee to where, and how did the shopkeeper of the pawn shop get out of the capital, etc.
Clearly, clearly.
Concubine Xue saw that the emperor kept his mouth shut, but the back of her hand was folded with blue veins.
She suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the emperor. He had doted on two people in total, but they were both rebels, and he didn't dare to write like this in the book.
Concubine Xue said cautiously: "The actor is currently in the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and His Majesty can interrogate her in person."
Xiao Yu raised his eyes, looked at Concubine Xue and said, "Have you mentioned this to others?"
"The matter is of great importance, so the concubine does not dare to speak falsely." Concubine Xue paused, and then said: "Furthermore, the concubine also knows that the evidence is insufficient, and is afraid that Qin Jieyu will be wronged, except for a servant in the palace, who will not I didn't mention it to anyone else."
Xiao Yu stood up suddenly and walked out with his eyes empty.
Eunuch Sheng followed up and said, "Where is the emperor going?"
The scorching sun in the afternoon made people dizzy. Xiao Yu pinched his temples, as if trying to adjust his breathing. It took him a moment to say: "First seal the Xianfu Palace, I want to leave the palace."
Eunuch Sheng's eyes flashed with shock, sealed the Xianfu Palace? What does it mean
But now it is obvious that we can only do it, Sheng Gong said: "The slave will go to call someone to prepare a carriage, and clear the official road."
Xiao Yu said in a tight voice: "If you don't go through the process, prepare a horse for me immediately."
Sheng Gonggong nodded, turned his head and walked towards Yuma Division.
—
After leaving the Imperial City Gate, Xiao Yu went straight to the Punishment Department. Because he was dressed in private clothes, the officers of the Punishment Department did not recognize anyone for a while.
"Where's Xue Xiangyang?"
The officer was shocked by the cold air around him, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Who are you, how dare you call Lord Shang Shu by his name."
Xiao Yu threw the bright yellow token on his body to him, "Lead the way."
The officer took the hot token, and after seeing it clearly, his knees softened, and the Tianling cover seemed to be blown away by the wind.
Actually, it was the emperor who came in person.
Xiao Yu came to the house in the south, the door has not been opened, only Xue Xiangyang said: "Mr. Zhuang's move is not called redemption, it is called bribery, this official can't accept the money."
Zhuang Sheng smiled and said, "Master Xue doesn't accept it, so what about Second Young Master Xue?"
Xue Xiangyang put a palm on the table: "Are you threatening me?"
Zhuang Sheng is not only well-known in the arena, but also the grandson of Mrs. Zhuang. Xue Xiangyang is not afraid of him, but he does not want to confront him.
"How can this be a threat?" Zhuang Sheng said slowly: "Zhuang came here today to ask, what exactly is Qiu Siyue's crime, and it is worthy of being executed by Mr. Xue himself."
Xue Xiangyang snorted and said, "Then the official also asks you, is she Qiu Siyue your wife or your concubine?"
At this time, the little guard walked over, tugged at Xue Xiangyang's cuff in a panic, and said, "Sir, outside..."
Xue Xiangyang raised his sleeves and frowned, "Fuck off, didn't you see this official busy?"
As soon as the voice fell, the door of the room was pushed open.
Xue Xiangyang and Zhuang Sheng looked sideways at the same time.
The moment they looked at each other, Xue Xiangyang's heart almost stopped, he immediately bowed down, put his arms in front of him, and said, "I see your majesty."
Zhuang Sheng also saluted, "Caomin, see your Majesty."
Xiao Yu's eyes swept over the two of them, and said solemnly: "Qing people, Qiu April, I will personally judge."
Zhuang Sheng said, "Your Majesty!"
Xue Xiangyang ordered people to suppress Zhuang Sheng, and immediately said: "I will go and pick up people."
When the emperor came in person, the guards blocked the siege of Xingbu, and the handyman on duty in Nanyuan's house quickly evacuated, and Xue Xiangyang brought April to Xiao Yu.
April has messy hair, neat clothes, and blood on the corners of her mouth.
She straightened her back, smiled sweetly, and her brows were enchanting, "The girl didn't say everything, she didn't know anything."
Seeing this April, Xue Xiangyang had a headache. He tortured her yesterday, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for this woman. He didn't look at the beauty of the country and the city, and he didn't know where he learned the seductive witchcraft.
Thankfully, he's not a man of color and wit.
Xue Xiangyang gritted his teeth and whispered, "Be honest with me."
Xiao Yu said: "Go back."
Xue Xiangyang glanced at April, bowed and said, "I retire."
Xiao Yu looked at the woman in front of him, and his tone was light: "I have something to ask you, so you can answer truthfully."
No matter how many dignitaries he has seen in his life, April has never seen the real 95th.
She took a deep breath with a trembling chest.
Xiao Yu pressed the wrench with his thumb and said, "What did she learn when she invited you to the Qin Mansion?"
April said: "Minnu is just an actor, without talent and virtue, and can't be a teacher."
Xiao Yu didn't seem to hear it, and continued: "Do you teach her to practice calligraphy, sing songs, or act?"
April thumped in her heart and said lightly: "No, Miss Qin only asked Minnu to teach her how to paint."
When Xiao Yu was weak, he was appointed as the Censor of Zuodu of the Procuratorate, and he naturally knew what the people in front of him were lying for.
Xiao Yu took a piece of rice paper, dipped a pen in ink, wrote it, put it in front of her and said, "This black and white letter can be used as an edict, I won't blame you, and I won't blame her."
The writing on the paper is vigorous and powerful, like a supreme right.
True to the words.
Xiao Yuning stared at her, "Can you sing "The Ballad of Nishang"?"
April raised her head abruptly, looked at the emperor, plucked up her courage, and said softly, "Miss Qin is in His Majesty's heart..."
There was a smile on the corner of Xiao Yu's lips, "I took her as my wife, and she got angry with me."
"I won't embarrass you, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, sing a song and you can leave."
In April, I read countless people, but I have never seen such a pair of eyes.
Looking down at all beings, deep and lonely.
April took a deep breath, got up slowly, stood firm, slumped his waist on his side, stretched out his left arm, turned his wrist, and slowly opened his throat.
April was tortured, and there was still a wound on her waist. Even so, it didn't affect Xiao Yu's ability to see her shadow from her body.
The song moves her lips cleverly, and every word is coquettish and angry.
Xiao Yu's chest suddenly hurt, and his memories kept turning around in front of his eyes—
Wearing golden flowers and red pearls on her head, she swayed and greeted him gently, "Your Majesty, Wanfu Jinan."
She looked at him timidly: "Your Majesty, do you want to rest here tonight?"
She choked, "Chen and concubine are stupid, but what's wrong?"
She hugged him, "Whoever His Majesty is looking at, who is the concubine."
She probed carefully, "Your Majesty means... you want to hand over the eldest prince to a concubine to raise?"
She frowned, "My concubine can sing "The Ballad of Nishang", has your Majesty heard it?"
Those who are familiar and unfamiliar who can't explain it, have found the answer at this moment.
At the end of the song, Xiao Yu's face was pale, a paleness that had lost all of his blood.
He said solemnly: "You go."
April knelt down again and touched the ground with her forehead, "The people's daughter kowtows to thank the emperor."
When Xiao Yu pushed the door open, Xue Xiangyang and Zhuang Sheng were waiting outside.
"Don't spread the matter today, otherwise I will take off your official hat." After that, Xiao Yu's indifferent gaze fell on Zhuang Sheng's face again, "I will settle this account with you in the future."
—
Xiao Yu left the Ministry of Punishment and did not return to the palace, but went to the Jin Wangfu.
Pass through the hanging flower gate, through the long Chaoshou veranda, and come to Chang'en Hall.
He skillfully took out two jars of fine wine and a pair of agate luminous cups from under the bamboo grid.
He raised his hand to fill it up and drank it all in one go. It didn't take long for the jar to reach the bottom. The aroma of the wine filled the room, but the man's eyes were still clear and clear, and he was not even half drunk.
Xiao Yu bowed down, pressed his wrist against his brow bone, and gave a very light "ho".
She actually remembered everything.
This sits till sunset.
The dark clouds rolled over the sky, the wind and rain suddenly picked up, Xiao Yu got up and went back to the palace.
The long wind drove the drizzle, and the horse's hooves stepped into the mud. Xiao Yu got off his horse and strode into Jingren Palace.
Before the sound of the announcement could be heard, the hall door was opened with a bang.
Qin Yan put down the little clothes she sewed for Xiao Yun, and got up in a panic. Before she came to remember Fu Li's greetings, the man's hot chest hit him directly.
Xiao Yu pressed her against the wall, lowered his head, and kissed her lips directly. The temperature was so hot that he couldn't help shivering.
Xiao Yu leaned against her ear, scorching hot breath around her neck, "I want you."
Qin Yu could smell the smell of alcohol all over her body.
This is... Drunk
The person in front of him is the emperor, and she is the concubine of the harem. If he wants it, she will naturally refuse.
Qin Wei slowly closed her eyes, tried to accommodate his height, stood on tiptoe, and hugged his waist.
In a blink of an eye she was pushed onto the couch by him.
I don't know if it was because of drunkenness, but this man bit people harder than before, as if torn off the calm and self-sufficient human skin mask and turned into a vicious beast that took people's lives.
Qin Jie raised her neck and said softly, "Your Majesty, lightly, lightly."
He looked like he was drunk, but he didn't look like he was drunk.
Xiao Yu shackled her waist with force, the alcohol in his breath sprayed on her face, he said hoarsely: "Do you have me in your heart?"
Qin Jie bit her lower lip, her fair and slender arms lay empty on his neck, and said softly, "My concubine's heart is naturally your majesty."
Xiao Yu held his arms and looked at her motionless.
The same eyes, he could not understand.
He couldn't read it anymore.
Xiao Yu's eyes gradually turned red, and after repeatedly turning around on the tip of his tongue, he still asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Qin Xie's heart choked, and the arm resting on his shoulder instantly stiffened.
He used me, not me.
Xiao Yu held her shoulders, his fingers trembled together, and his dark eyes became more and more desperate, "A Ling, do you know how much I miss you?"
Even though Qin Xue's heartbeat was about to burst through her chest, her eyes were still tender and caring, and she didn't change at all, "Is your majesty drunk?"
"Not drunk, I've seen April."
April.
Qin Jie seemed to have fallen into an ice lake, her eyes staring at him blankly.
Time is silent and silent.
After a long time, she said, "What about April?"
Looking at each other, Xiao Yu smiled awkwardly, his voice was as low as a whisper, "You entered the palace, do you have any points, is it for me?"
His tears, patter, fell into her eyes.
It was so hot that I wanted to cry.
"Why lie to me? Huh?"
Hot tears swept away in Qin Xue's eyes, and flowed out from the corner of her eyes again, "The Su family is guilty, but I have already died once. Does Your Majesty want to punish me for the crime of bullying the king?"
Hearing this, the man's palm couldn't restrain himself from exerting force, and Qin Ye's shoulder was aching from his grip.
"A Ling!"
"What do you want me to say? What do you want me to say?" Qin Jie suddenly pushed him away, her lips trembling, and she looked at him and said word by word: "You see clearly, I am Qin Jie, the daughter of the Qin family, and you are the king. Not my Saburo."
