"Witness? Where did you get the witness?" Gu Shiba Niang also asked coldly, "How dare you slander and bite me..."
"What slander?" The officer sneered and lowered his voice, "They are all servants of your own family, and Mrs. Zhong from the Pingyang Marquis Mansion has witnessed it. These people are not strangers who slander you randomly, Miss Gu. , you know it well, it’s better to be more knowledgeable..."
"Pingyang Marquis Mansion?" Gu Shiba's voice suddenly rose, her voice was high-pitched, so that only the people watching at the door could hear clearly, and there was a buzz of discussion.
When he suddenly heard her shouting, the officer was startled and immediately understood, and his face became even more ugly.
"Miss Gu, this kind of trick is of no use to us in the Criminal Department..." He tugged at the chain, "Since I asked you not to leave, then don't blame us for being rude..."
He was chained and taken away in front of everyone. No matter how guilty he was, his future reputation would be ruined. The slaves were trembling and almost unsteady. Gu Shiba Niang's face was cold, but her expression was calm.
This girl is so courageous! In the past, people's legs would tremble when they saw them, let alone refute the conversation. The guards thought to themselves. Looking at this girl again, not only was there no fear on her face, but there seemed to be a trace of enthusiasm... That's right. , is eager..
Eager? Is there anyone in the world who is looking forward to arresting these police officers
"Take it away!" The leading officer shook off this ridiculous idea, couldn't help being impatient, and waved his hand to order.
The police officers, who looked like wolves and tigers, shouted in unison, frightening the people watching outside the door to shiver.
"Wait a minute!" A louder voice suddenly shouted from outside the door.
Here, Pingyang Marquis and Zhu Chunyang chatted for a while, and were about to stand up to leave, but they heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and a man in soap clothes with a somewhat embarrassed look appeared at the door.
This was a prominent figure among the officers and Zhu Chunming's god-grandson. Relying on his backstage godfather and his immediate boss, his immediate boss, grandpa Qiantang, he was domineering and powerful, but at this moment he seemed to be in a state of panic.
In fact, many people have shown this attitude without knowing it recently, which made Zhu Chunyang angry for no reason.
He asked coldly, "Have everyone been captured?"
"No..." the guard swallowed dryly.
"What?" Zhu Chunyang asked with a frown, looking at the man coldly, "Then what are you doing back?"
"Grandpa, it's not that you guys are incompetent..." the servant hurriedly explained, "Yes...it was the decree from the palace...that the Gu family should enter the palace..." He looked at Zhu Chunyang's instantly gloomy face, and hurriedly Rushing to save the situation, "However, the other children have all been brought back..."
The real owner ran away, and the remaining small fish and shrimps were nothing. Zhu Chunyang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Zhu Xian, who was observing filial piety at home, also received the news at the same time and became furious.
"The evidence is as solid as a mountain, and the law of heaven is clear! Is there no king's law yet?!" he shouted, waving his hands.
The surrounding servants were all shocked when they heard this. It was really rare to hear the words "Wang Fa" from the mouth of their own master.
"My father has devoted himself to protecting His Majesty for so many years. He has done so many things for him and suffered so much infamy. Now, even before his body is cold, someone is trying to protect the suspect. This will chill the hearts of all the ministers in the world!" Zhu Xiang beat his chest and stamped his feet, his eyes red. Weeping and shouting, "I want to enter the palace, I want to enter the palace to meet the saint!"
Even when the outside world was in turmoil, the palace was always solemn and solemn, as calm as an unfathomable lake.
After finishing a lot of political affairs, King Wenjun stood up and walked to the big window. Although the weather was cold and cold, it was no longer as unbearable and unavoidable as in winter. The windows were wide open, and the palace was in a good location. It is open and refreshing at first glance, which is why all the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty chose this place as the Qinzheng Hall.
"His Highness must have thought carefully and sent the imperial army. Otherwise, we chamberlains would not know what to do with those lawless boys..." Chamberlain Huang walked silently from the side and whispered.
Prince Wen did not make a sound, his face was calm, and his gaze remained outside the empty palace.
"But, Your Highness, you'd better go say hello to His Majesty. I heard that Mr. Xiao Zhu is already kneeling outside the palace gate..." Huang Nei's face flashed with worry, and he whispered again.
The sensitive and jealous Emperor Longqing always had thoughts that were difficult for ordinary people to fathom. Ever since he entered the East Palace and accompanied the future emperor, Huang Huang had a deeper understanding of it.
To outsiders, it seems that the prince was personally selected by the emperor, and indeed entrusted him with important responsibilities and took good care of him. However, in fact, every step and every move of the prince was made with caution. However, it was still difficult to avoid unintentional disasters. For example, during the Chinese New Year this year, as usual, The emperor who has not been in court for a year must take time to accept the congratulations from the officials at this time. A chief ceremonial officer casually asked when the prince should accept the congratulations from the officials. This sentence actually means It's no big deal. Since you have a prince and have been observing government for a long time, it is completely in line with etiquette to accept congratulations from officials.
But just because of these words, the ceremonial officer packed up and left the next day. On the surface, he made a disrespectful mistake, but the reality was enough to let the discerning courtiers know that the emperor was He was angry, thinking that his ministers couldn't wait for him to get out and replace him with someone new.
Huang Huang did not dare to pry into the prince's state of mind during those days, but he himself could not sleep for several nights.
Fortunately, it was someone else's action that time. It can be said that the prince was innocent and implicated. But this time, the prince personally invited the queen mother and ordered the imperial army to accompany her. The most important thing is that the incident involved this time was related to the death of Zhu Chunming. That was something that the emperor had repeatedly ordered to thoroughly investigate and not allow anyone to interfere...
How could this lady Gu cause so much trouble! Huang Neishi was dissatisfied with Gu Shiba Niang for the first time. What was she thinking? How could such a cautious and intelligent person do such a stupid thing! Could it be that he was really arrogant because of the happy event
Sure enough, beauty brings disaster...
"Yes." Prince Wen just responded lightly, his voice still calm, and no emotion could be heard.
His eyes fell outside, and he could faintly see a group of people walking through the corridor and heading towards the palace in the west, which was the Queen Mother's bedroom.
This was the second time she entered the most noble place in the Zhou Dynasty, and an unspeakable feeling flashed across Gu Shiba Niang's slightly lowered face.
Here, everything and everything makes you feel the supremacy of the imperial power, just like the invisible mountain, suppressing everyone in it. Once you touch its majesty, there is no other way but death. .
This feeling of having no choice but to live or die is really uncomfortable. Here you will always feel like an ant, fighting to no avail. This is your destiny.
Never come to a place like this for a third time... Gu Shiba Niang repeated this sentence over and over in her heart.
After a short journey that seemed like a lifetime, we finally arrived at the Queen Mother's palace. There were already many people standing, sitting, or kneeling in the palace, most of whom were acquaintances.
Seeing Gu Shiba Niang walking in, Princess Baiyu's eyes could kill her.
"Gu Xiang, are you acquainted with that bandit?" the Queen Mother asked in a cold voice.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became tense.
"Yes." Gu Shiba Niang lowered her head and replied without any hesitation in her voice.
Her eyes swept across the four or five maids and maids kneeling on the side of the hall. They were all former maids of her family. Standing beside her with her back straight was Mrs. Zhong.
Seeing her answering so straightforwardly, the Queen Mother was slightly startled and her expression softened slightly.
"Gu Xiang, please explain in detail. Is there any misunderstanding?" she asked in a deep voice.
"Empress." Princess Baiyu frowned slightly and said, "What misunderstanding is there? She has already admitted that she is involved with the thief..."
"According to what the princess said, everyone who knows the thieves will be implicated?" Gu Shiba Niang raised her head and snorted coldly, and said lightly, "The adopted son of the Zhu family who the princess said was a friend of Guangfan in Beijing. There are countless people involved, right?”
"How presumptuous!" Princess Baiyu saw the woman standing at the foot of the steps suddenly raised her head, looked at her, and rebutted her on the spot in front of the Queen Mother. She was a little shocked in her annoyance.
This was the fourth time they met, and she clearly found that the girl's demeanor and attitude had completely changed. Although they were not familiar with each other before, it seemed like they were meeting each other for the first time now.
"Have I asked you a question? The royal court will not allow you to speak wantonly!" Princess Baiyu raised her eyebrows and shouted. The humiliation she has suffered these days is unprecedented in her life. It is all because of this humble maid. Give.
"The princess is so majestic." Gu Shiba Niang smiled coldly and said, "May I ask the Queen Mother if she has anything to ask you? The Queen Mother was asking me something, but before I could answer, the princess spoke. Isn't that more polite? Go wild!"
"You!" Princess Baiyu was shocked and angry, looking at the woman in disbelief.
Everyone in the hall was stunned. Unexpectedly, as soon as the two people met and spoke, their swords and swords would flash. Looking at the two people facing each other, their status was the same as where they were standing now. They were clearly high and low, but their aura was unexpectedly... There is no distinction between top and bottom.
"My Lady, have you seen this?" Princess Baiyu turned around angrily and said to the Queen Mother, "Look how arrogant she is, how dare she roar in front of you..."
"I am arrogant. I dare to ask the princess. She is a distinguished noble and a model of virtue for the world, but because of her own selfish interests, she instructs her servants to slander and frame my Gu family. What kind of behavior is this?" Gu Shiba Niang raised her eyebrows and asked. .
Everyone knows what we are here for today, the causes and consequences. Of course, we will not say it out loud like this. We will only wait for careful guidance and gentle questions and answers to prove it.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother opened her mouth and said a few words, and the scene became like this, where you are attacking me and not giving in to each other.
The Queen Mother was also slightly startled, looking at the two people in front of her, she didn't realize what was going on for a while.
