"Concubine Chen said that she was framed. She was poisoned by aphrodisiac, and the person who gave her the aphrodisiac poison was you, Princess Xuanqing."
Han Yan was stunned and immediately replied: "My daughter is wronged. I have never done such a thing."
The Queen Mother said: "Don't you want to hear what Ai Jia has to say about why Concubine Chen said you wanted to frame her?"
Han Yan looked at her blankly.
"Concubine Chen said that she saw you committing adultery with a strange man." After saying this, a hidden smile appeared on the Queen Mother's lips. The smile was confident and gloomy, making people shudder.
As soon as the Queen Mother said these words, Han Yan immediately shouted: "My daughter is wronged. My daughter has never had such dirty things with her foreign husband! Your Majesty, it is clear to you!"
The emperor did not speak, and the queen mother smiled: "You mean, Concubine Chen has wronged you?"
Han Yan shook his head repeatedly: "I don't dare. It's just that adultery is not a trivial matter. I have never done it before."
The emperor looked at her: "Princess Xuanqing, according to the imperial decree, a woman guilty of adultery should be stripped naked and paraded through the streets, and be sentenced to death in court." After a pause, he said: "You... admit it? Not guilty?"
Han Yan almost sneered in her heart: "My daughter said that she has never done this before, so how can she plead guilty?" She has always been strong when faced with the strong, and she doesn't even bother to pretend when she encounters someone who is overbearing and unreasonable. . Is it because they behave too meekly that they think they can be bullied without saying a word? What a big joke!
She looked directly at the emperor on the high seat without being humble or arrogant: "Everything in the world must have a cause and effect. If the Queen Mother and the Emperor think that the subject has committed such a thing, please also provide evidence. The emperor has committed the same crime as the common people, and now Concubine Chen has committed adultery. The matter has been confirmed, but she was just thrown into prison. Do you have to admit something that I have never done?" A trace of ridicule flashed in her clear eyes: "What if it is because Chen Guifei's identity is better than that of Chen Nu? Because he is valuable and therefore treated differently, the servant has nothing to say.”
"You..." The emperor was speechless. As the emperor, he prided himself on being fair and upright in doing things, and he was very aware of everything. He hated it when his subordinates bullied others. But now that Han Yan said this, he was included in that category of people. It's really It makes him lose face.
The Queen Mother raised her hand: "The Emperor has always been fair and honest in doing things." Her majestic aura came to her face: "It is true that you are just a daughter of a fifth-rank official now. How can you question the Emperor like this? How could you ever take the power of God in your eyes?" ?”
Han Yan smiled slightly: "I'm afraid the Queen Mother has forgotten that my daughter is not just the daughter of a fifth-rank official, she is also Princess Xuanqing." The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and her voice was lively and lively: ""The Queen Mother still thinks that, The reputation of Princess Xuanqing is the same as that of the daughter of a fifth-rank official
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and he suddenly discovered that the seemingly innocent little girl in front of him was almost exactly the same as his arrogant and cold brother. He never let himself suffer. For someone like the Queen Mother who has experienced many battles, several After the round, he didn't take advantage of her at all. Her words seemed to have deep meaning, and she blocked all the escape routes in an understatement. She didn't talk about skills, and she didn't even need to go around corners. She just charged straight at him.
Murderous intent permeated the air.
No one spoke, neither the emperor, who was expressionless, nor the queen mother, who was drinking tea leisurely, or Han Yan, who was smiling with crooked eyes. The Jinluan Palace was not as lively as before, but it was so cold that it could penetrate people's bones.
After a while, the Queen Mother raised her head: "Since Princess Xuanqing said that she has never done this, she must come up with something to prove her innocence."
Han Yan also smiled at her: "What does the Queen Mother mean?"
"Shou Gong Sha." She finally moved her eyes away from the tea cup in her hand, looked at Han Yan meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Shou Gong Sha, if you are innocent, you will naturally have Shou Gong Sha."
Shou Gong Sha is a drug used to verify a woman's virginity. It is said that as long as it is painted on a woman's body, it will not disappear all year round, but once she has sex with a man, it will disappear immediately. Because it has such characteristics, it is used to test virginity. Daughters of most clans are required to use the palace guarding sand when they are born. The palace guarding sand will not disappear until they marry and follow their husbands. Now the Queen Mother asked Han Yan to test the palace sand. Not only did she mention the result, but she proposed it so blatantly, it was a great humiliation for Han Yan. This means not believing in her chastity and not believing in her character. If she were a woman with a stronger personality, she would probably die to prove her ambition.
Seeing that Han Yan didn't move, the smile lines at the corners of the Queen Mother's mouth deepened, but her eyes became more and more threatening. With heavy oppression, her voice was cold and hard: "Princess Xuanqing, do you dare?"
It turned out to be this idea, Han Yan knew it in his heart. Presumably the aphrodisiac poison that Concubine Chen gave her that day was some kind of rare and expensive kind. Han Yan herself felt the strong effects of the drug at that time. The Queen Mother thought that she could detoxify, so she must have had sex with someone. Once Shou Gong Sha disappeared, nothing could be said clearly. If Han Yan is found to be not a virgin, she will definitely be charged with adultery. If Fu Yunxi said that she was the one who had a relationship with Han Yan, Fu Yunxi would be ridiculed by thousands of people once the story was spread. In Dazong, having sex between a couple before marriage is the same crime as adultery. It is something that only the most despicable business people and fireworks women will do.
The Queen Mother's move was really cruel. If Fu Yunxi admitted it, she would drag Fu Yunxi into the water. If she said that the person was not Fu Yunxi, she would be regarded as a woman who had lost her virginity and would be criticized by thousands of people forever. How to overcome this dilemma
The Queen Mother calmly played with the cup in her hand, and the Emperor calmly looked at Han Yan in the palace. Both of them came prepared. I don’t know what the Queen Mother said to the Emperor, but the Queen Mother wanted to get rid of her and couldn’t wait. He even wanted to use Concubine Chen's mouth to bite him hard again. Do you want to see yourself panicking? However, this time, I am afraid she will be disappointed.
Han Yan's eyes flashed, and his eyes immediately widened in disbelief: "Empress, this is a distrust of my daughter. I have never done such a thing, why should I be inspected..."
The smile on the Queen Mother's face deepened: "Why don't they trust you? The Ai family trusts you too much, so they gave you a chance to prove your innocence... Your Majesty, are you right?"
The emperor nodded: "Yes, you go and check whether there is palace guard sand on your body. If not, I will punish you for the crime of deceiving the emperor. If there is, you are naturally innocent."
Han Yan couldn't help but shook his head: "I don't go to check. I am innocent. Doing this is an insult to me... Queen Mother, you can't..."
The Queen Mother seemed to be tired and waved her hand: "Princess Xuanqing must be too young to understand the painstaking efforts of the Ai family. Nanny Li, take Princess Xuanqing down for a checkup."
