Mu Yunjin stayed in the room for the next whole day without going out, and went to bed early at night, looking forward to the arrival of the next day.
…
In Diehua City, a secret matter emerged overnight, and it was quickly spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and spread throughout the entire Xiyuan Kingdom in just a few hours.
Early in the morning, Mu Yunjin slipped out of the back door of the mansion and ran to the street.
As soon as I stepped into the market, I saw a bunch of people gathered together, talking about one thing with joy——
"Xiao Lian is very lucky this time, his son actually got married to the fifth princess, that's terrible, he got married to the royal family."
"I really didn't realize that Xiao Tianqi usually runs a gambling shop by himself, and he doesn't look serious, but the fifth princess is blind and fell in love with him."
"Hush, speak in a low voice, in fact, you don't know the inside story, do you?"
"Old Li, what do you mean? How do you say that?"
"My brother who was in the palace told me that the fifth princess originally intended to marry her to Donglin Kingdom as a marriage princess, but the fifth princess didn't want to, so she secretly found Xiao Tianqi. Raw rice is cooked into rice…”
"Really? The five princesses are all given away?"
"you do not say!"
After listening for a while, Mu Yunjin walked forward, seeing that all the public opinion had achieved the effect she wanted, and the smile on her lips widened.
Chu Qingqiang, this time you will fall so hard that you won't be able to get up!
In the following time, Mu Yunjin walked two streets and heard various versions from the people, but the only thing that remained the same was that everyone knew that Chu Qingqiang had an affair with Xiao Tianqi.
Unknowingly, when he walked to the entrance of the gambling house, the whole gambling house was surrounded by the imperial guards, and the people standing beside him were full of watching the excitement.
After a while, Xiao Tianqi was escorted out by several imperial guards.
Xiao Tianqi struggled with his body, and when he went out the door, he caught a glimpse of Mu Yunjin standing beside him, and gave him a look for help.
Mu Yunjin smiled at him and nodded slightly, signaling him to rest assured.
Seeing this, Xiao Tianqi was really relieved, pursed his lips, and said impatiently, "You'd better be polite to me, otherwise, when I become the fifth son-in-law, I won't have any good fruit for you."
Hearing this, the imperial guards who were originally detaining Xiao Tianqi really let go and took him into a carriage and headed towards the imperial palace.
Seeing that Xiao Tianqi was brought into the palace, Mu Yunjin also headed towards the palace.
…
At this time, the main hall in the palace.
"Father, queen mother, I have been wronged. My son has always abided by his duty, how could he do such a lewd thing." Chu Qingqiang knelt on the ground, looked at the Ximing emperor and empress in the center of the hall, and sat aside The empress dowager Zheng cast a look of asking for help.
Emperor Ximing was furious when he heard this, and snorted heavily, "Then tell me, why are you the one in the rumor? You really didn't have an affair with that merchant's son?"
"Father, my son will not dare to do such a thing." After Chu Qingqiang finished speaking, she kowtowed heavily.
"Huang'er, this matter must have been rumored by someone desperately, why not send someone to investigate thoroughly? Qiang'er has been obedient and sensible since she was a child, how could she do such a thing." Queen Mother Zheng spoke for Chu Qing Qiang made a rescue.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Qing Qiang is going to marry far away in Donglin Kingdom in the future, and now that such rumors come out, it will definitely damage the reputation of her boudoir. We must thoroughly investigate and return Qing Qiang's justice." The queen also agreed. road.
After hearing what the Empress Dowager Zheng and the empress had said, Emperor Ximing's face looked better, and he waved his hand at Chu Qingqiang, "Qiang'er, get up first."
Chu Qingqiang nodded.
At this time, Xiao Tianqi was also escorted into the hall.
Entering the main hall, Xiao Tianqi saw this battle for the first time, and his legs trembled inexplicably. After seeing Chu Qingqiang who was thinking about it day and night, he took a deep breath, and firmly remembered what Mu Yunjin had ordered. .
"Xiao Tianqi, do you know what crime you committed?" Seeing Xiao Tianqi, Emperor Ximing's eyes darkened.
Xiao Tianqi knelt down, "I don't know what crime I committed!"
"Hmph, you thief, who gave you the guts to damage this princess' boudoir name?" Chu Qingqiang couldn't help kicking Xiao Tianqi who was on the ground angrily.
Xiao Tianqi was kicked to the side, and looked at Chu Qingqiang affectionately, "Why did the princess say that? We have been in love for so long, how can you say such heartless words?"
"You..." Chu Qingqiang was furious when she heard the words, and made a gesture to beat Xiao Tianqi.
Fortunately, the guards on the side stopped him.
"What's going on here?" Emperor Xi Ming seemed to have exhausted his patience. He woke up early in the morning and heard some eunuchs and court ladies talking about Chu Qingqiang. He was so angry that he even avoided today's morning court.
"Your majesty is wise, Xiaomin and the fifth princess have admired each other for a long time, and have privately decided to live forever, please let the emperor do it." Xiao Tianqi straightened his body and kowtowed heavily to the people in the hall.
At this time, Mu Yunjin, who was using Qinggong to hide on a big tree outside the hall, couldn't help laughing, and listened carefully to the movement in the hall.
Emperor Ximing raised his sinking heart, pointed at Xiao Tianqi and Chu Qingqiang angrily, "Today, you two, speak clearly!"
"Father, I don't know this person at all, and I don't know who is here to ruin my reputation with ulterior motives." Chu Qingqiang knelt down again, with a sincere expression on his face.
"Princess, why do you deny our previous relationship so much? You are already mine, and I may promise to marry you in." Xiao Tianqi frowned, his eyes were deeply hurt.
"Nonsense! Who sent you here? If you don't tell me clearly, I will kill you today!" Chu Qingqiang stood up, pulled out the sword worn by the imperial guards, and pointed it at Xiao Tianqi's neck.
Xiao Tianqi was startled, and bravely said, "Princess, if you really want to kill me so much, I will let you kill me..."
"But there is not a single lie in what I said today." Xiao Tianqi closed his eyes slightly, "If the emperor and queen don't believe it, you can check to see if the fifth princess' Shougongsha is still there..."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Qingqiang's hand holding the sword suddenly loosened, and it fell on the hall with a clang, which echoed for a long time.
Chu Qingqiang's eyes were full of astonishment and panic. After glancing at Xiao Tianqi who was kneeling on the ground, she immediately understood who was guiding him from behind.
Mu Yunjin, that bitch Mu Yunjin.
After Xiao Tianqi said the word Shou Gongsha, Emperor Xi Ming had already seen Chu Qingqiang's reaction in full view, and the disappointment and anger in his heart suddenly appeared, and he slapped the table angrily.
"Kneel down for me!"
Chu Qingqiang knelt down, bit her lip, and looked towards Queen Mother Zheng.
Empress Dowager Zheng was also a little confused at this time, so she believed in Chu Qingqiang's character from the bottom of her heart, and sighed, "Qiang'er, expose your palace guard and prove your innocence to your father."
Chu Qingqiang pursed her lips, and after thinking for a while, she wanted to tell the story about herself and Rong Min, but she just opened her mouth when a sound of notification came from outside.
"Princess Nine, Concubine Six is here—"
After the words fell, Mu Yunjin and Chu Qingyuan walked into the hall arm in arm.
Mu Yunjin jumped off the tree when she found Chu Qingyuan who was eavesdropping in a corner. Seeing that she was also here to watch the fun, she tricked her into the door together.
Emperor Ximing always loved Chu Qingyuan very much, and when he saw her coming, his brows eased a little. Mu Yunjin is now Chu Li's concubine, so Emperor Ximing naturally didn't treat him as an outsider in his heart, so he asked someone to bring two chairs over.
After Mu Yunjin sat down, she cast a provocative look at Chu Qingqiang who was kneeling on the ground.
Chu Qingqiang's heart sank, knowing that what she said with Rong Min would not be done.
If she told about the matter between herself and Rong Min, Mu Yunjin might have grasped the evidence of her exchanging secrets with Rong Min, and she would definitely end badly by then.
Mu Yunjin's move is really ruthless, killing people invisible.
"Princess, you can't show Shou Gongsha, can you? Why don't you admit our relationship? Do you dislike that I am not a prince or nobleman, but a merchant?" Seeing Mu Yunjin coming, Xiao Tianqi felt even more worried. I have a bit of confidence.
Chu Qingqiang's whole body went limp for a moment, and she sat on the ground, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Emperor Xi Ming in the main hall.
"Where is Shou Gong Sha? I want to see your Shou Gong Sha!" Emperor Ximing was furious, pointing at Chu Qingqiang, knowing everything in his heart.
Chu Qingqiang has never felt so wronged, Shou Gongsha, how could she bring out such things now!
"Huh? The fifth sister denies having an affair with this young master, and she can't reveal the palace guard sand. Could it be that the object is not this young master, but someone else?" Chu Qingyuan spoke slowly, her voice was clear and resounded throughout the whole place. hall.
Emperor Ximing's face turned even greener.
Chu Qingqiang couldn't argue, she lowered her eyes, analyzed the current situation, and found that she had been pushed to the cliff and had no way out.
After thinking about it, he cast a hateful look at Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows.
Chu Qingqiang clenched her fists, clenched her sleeves, bit her lips, and took a few deep breaths, "Father, please complete my son and this young master."
She can only call Xiao Tianqi this son, because she has no idea who this person is at all!
Seeing that Chu Qingqiang admitted his relationship with Xiao Tianqi at this time, Emperor Ximing was furious, stood up, walked down the steps, and approached Chu Qingqiang, regardless of her being a girl, kicked her hard. abdomen.
"To do such obscene and promiscuous things is really a disgrace to the royal family! I don't have such a lowly daughter like you!"
"Father..." Chu Qingqiang called out sadly.
Seeing this, Xiao Tianqi at the side immediately rushed over, hugged Chu Qingqiang, and looked at Emperor Ximing, "Your Majesty, it's Xiaomin's fault. If you want to punish him, punish him. Don't blame the princess."
"Go away!" Chu Qingqiang pushed Xiao Tianqi away.
Seeing this scene, Chu Qingyuan walked over, took Emperor Ximing's arm, and said coquettishly, "Father, calm down first."
"The Xiao family has been in business for several generations, and their overseas business is also in full swing. The family property is very rich, and it is not a small family. Since the fifth sister and this son are sincerely in love, the matter has come to an end, the father is not as good as the fifth sister and this one." Young master, right?" Chu Qingyuan said.
Mu Yunjin looked at this scene with a smile, took a sip of tea, and acted as if she had nothing to do with herself.
Empress Dowager Zheng looked at this scene. Although she didn't like Chu Qingyuan, she had no choice but to follow Chu Qingyuan's words in the current situation, "Xiao Jiu is right. Huanger, the Xiao family can be regarded as a respectable family. Why don't you let Qiang'er and Young Master Xiao be fulfilled? Qiang'er won't suffer if she marries."
"What's more, regarding the matter with Donglin Kingdom, our royal family has never lacked princess daughters. The marriage between Qiang'er and the second prince has not been fully announced to the world, so it's okay to change someone..."
