Zhao Chunxi reclined on the soft couch, closed his eyes and rested his mind. She originally planned to take care of Guan Suyi slowly, anyway, to kill her father's feelings for her first, but the people outside couldn't wait, so she had to get rid of the two of them before Qi Yu entered the palace.
It has been two days since Qi Yu returned to Beijing. On the first day, he went to the Guan family for a visit. On the second day, he came to the Houfu of Zhenbei, and he has to enter the palace to report his duties tomorrow. In other words, she had to seize the only opportunity in front of her. She originally planned to give the two of them some medicine to realize the affair, but when it came to the end, she realized that the medicine box she had hidden well had disappeared. This change terrified her enough, and the people under her hands became more and more disobedient, making her more and more panicked.
She didn't dare to do it herself, but she had to keep promises about other people's affairs, so she had to take out Guan Suyi's poetry collection and pretend to appreciate it when Ye Fan came to visit, and let the servants quietly confuse the other party, so as to use a knife to kill. Ye Fan really fell into the trap, stole the poetry collection and handed it over to the Song family, and let her just spread it.
There are both personal and physical evidence, and this witness is Qi Yu's wife, who would question her words? Although this plan is crude, it is not easy to use, and now we just need to wait patiently for the result. Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, someone came to report, saying that Sister-in-law Song caught Madam and Master Qi for adultery in the mansion, and asked the old lady to do justice to her.
"How could it be?" Zhao Chunxi pretended to be astonished, and immediately jumped off the soft couch, slapped his sleeves and said, "Go, go and have a look!"
Besides, on the study side, Guan Suyi was suffering from a dilemma. Is it the same as being caught rape, catching the senior brother and catching the emperor, is there any difference between the two? She thought about it quickly, and then had to admit that the difference was huge, even the opposite. If she catches the senior brother, she has only one way to die; if she catches the emperor, the only person who will die will be the one with the layout. The emperor colluded with his wife to become an adulteress. Who wouldn't have to cover up when such a scandal happened
As the emperor's woman, even if the Zhao family wanted to strip her to pieces, she would have to be carefully served before the emperor rejected her. This is the power of power. No matter how unwilling you are, you can only hold it back. If you hold back, you will have a vast sky. If you can't hold back, you will kill people.
Did Zhao Chunxi and Ye Fan expect this result before they started? I really want to see the expressions on their faces when they open the door. After the extreme despair and grief, Guan Suyi's chaotic heart had a strong sense of happiness. Anyway, what has happened, what can she do? Just jumping from one fire pit into another.
"Your Majesty, please save Senior Brother out." She lowered her head and quickly wiped the tears from her face.
Emperor Sheng Yuan stared at her for a long while, then waved his hand, "Take him up." As soon as he finished speaking, a guard silently jumped down from the beam and picked up Qi Yu, who was stunned.
When this person just said the word "Zhen", Qi Yu understood the identity of the other party, but he couldn't figure out why the junior sister would have a relationship with the other party anyway. But now is not the time to investigate, he has to quickly lay down on the beam, so as not to reveal his deeds. The top of the head is a blind spot. Unless you have already realized it, most people will not look up.
Emperor Shengyuan and the other ladies wiped away their tears and sorted out their appearance. Then they spread out their arms and said lightly, "Come here, since you are an adulterer and a prostitute, you have to show off."
Guan Suyi hesitated for a while before sitting down in his arms, and noticed that his scorching big palms wrapped around her waist, and her body stiffened for a moment. This time it wasn't like the last time in the Buddhist hall, without the slightest charm. On the contrary, he kept rubbing her waist and eyes with his fingertips, silently venting his hidden desires. He held her in his arms, kissed her forehead, and said hoarsely, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Knowing that this person was also the murderer who pushed herself into the fire pit, Guan Suyi felt a touch of warmth and safety inexplicably. When she repeatedly warned herself not to be stupid, there was a sound of unlocking the door, and then Song shi led a group of people in and scolded, "Qi Yu, you heartless man..." Before she could finish her words, she was stunned and asked in surprise, "You, who are you? Where is Qi Yu?"
Zhao Chunxi and Ye Fan were also dumbfounded. Looking around, there was no sign of Qi Yu, and this person seemed to emerge from the ground, a completely unfamiliar face.
Others could not recognize him, but the old lady had seen each other several times in the early years. Blue eyes are very rare in the Central Plains, but in recent years, the imperial court has introduced a system of fourth-class people, and many people with serenity have come to Yanjing to do business, which is not rare. However, this man's blue eyes had a hint of black, and when he looked at people, he seemed to be poisoned, which made people shudder. She will never forget this face, let alone these eyes.
As soon as her knees softened, she knelt down, opening and closing her mouth without making a sound. If the daughter-in-law really had an affair with this person, would they still be able to live after running to catch the rape? You must know that today is different from the past. Back then, he was only a general, but now he is the emperor. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is powerful. If Zhenbei Hou's mansion can't handle today's incident, it will make people miss a bit and go out, and the whole family will have to finish it!
Emperor Sheng Yuan didn't even look at the old lady who was about to faint, Zhao Chunxi and others who were confused and horrified, just held the lady's slender hand and played slowly. "I came here to catch the adulterer, but I don't even know who the adulterer is," he said solemnly. "Fortunately, there is still someone in the manor who understands and understands etiquette."
Only then did the old lady regain her senses and beat Zhao Chunxi and Ye Fan on the kneecaps with crutches, "What are you doing, get down on your knees and greet the emperor!"
emperor? Zhao Chunxi and the others looked at each other in dismay, and then took a deep breath. They never expected that Qi Yu would disappear, and replaced by Guan Suyi and the emperor alone in a room. If they really had an affair... Everyone's mind went blank for a moment, even the vulgar Song shi was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud, begging for mercy.
No matter how stupid she is, she knows what the consequences of breaking the emperor's scandal are, ranging from pulling out her tongue and gouging her eyes, or beheading her on the spot. She is not the same as Ye Fan. She has no protection from the Ye family and the Hou Mansion. She is just a rural woman, and 100% will be pushed out as a scapegoat! She couldn't understand how Qi Yu disappeared from the room, but she had no time to think deeply. She regretted it very much. She knew that Guan Suyi had colluded with the emperor. How could she dare to touch her hair? Shouldn't she be offered as a bodhisattva
Ye Fan and Zhao Chunxi also complained incessantly. In just a few breaths, the cold sweat soaked the back of their clothes, and they kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Guan Suyi felt very ashamed at first, but when she saw these people's blue and white expressions, they were both regretful and afraid, and she quickly relaxed. She had to admit that she liked the scene in front of her. She had been married to the Zhao family for four years, but today was the happiest and the most relaxing. If you have adulterers and become prostitutes, what else can you do? She exhaled a suffocating breath, but her heart was desolate.
Emperor Sheng Yuan gave her a smile and patted her cheek lightly. Then he looked at the old lady and said, "Go and call Zhao Luli back, this is not something you can handle today."
As if receiving a pardon, the old lady hurriedly kowtowed, "I have already sent someone to call, please wait a moment." Finally, she took everyone away, closed the door again, and detained all the servants who were watching outside, just waiting. After the master returned to the mansion, he gave the regulations, or sold all of them with dumb medicine, or secretly executed them.
The small courtyard, which was full of chaos, was empty in an instant. The dark guard took Qi Yu and jumped off the beam and went out of the house.
Screening the idle crowd and waiting, Emperor Sheng Yuan said warmly, "I really can't be sorry to Madam this time, and I will not make Madam suffer any more grievances in the future."
Guan Suyi forced a smile and said, "With His Majesty's protection, the courtiers and wives are so grateful, how can they feel wronged. It's just that the senior brother is implicated..."
"You said it the other way around." Emperor Shengyuan said coldly, "If he hadn't seized the handle of his colleagues and wanted to impeach the other party in order to compete for the opportunity to stay in Beijing, you would not have faced such a situation today. Besides, you think he Are you really innocent? If he didn't have a secret affection for you and often wrote letters to express his feelings, he wouldn't have caused Song's suspicion. Song's not only has your poetry collection, but also the love letters he never dared to send. , take out the two pieces of evidence, and you will surely die. It's a pity that he didn't dare to show you at the last moment, and he is also cowardly and incompetent."
Guan Suyi was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, thinking about it carefully, she felt even more afraid. If the emperor hadn't come, she wouldn't be able to tell even if she had a hundred mouths today. It seems like a small game, but there are so many push hands behind it, and it is even more mixed with court battles. And she is the most innocent and the most humble victim among them. She was wantonly humiliated, used, trampled on by these people, and finally shattered to pieces.
She clasped her shoulders tightly, and her chest was filled with countless messy emotions, helpless, powerless, helpless... In a word, she had nothing but life.
Emperor Shengyuan hugged her, rubbed her cold face, and coaxed, "I can see the unwillingness and struggle in your heart. You want to break this cage and live a free life, but you have no power. And confidence. If you take a wrong step, you will die, and your family will be implicated. If you follow me, what do you want? People who have trampled on you will crawl under your feet."
He took out a mandarin duck jade pendant, tied it firmly around her waist, and said in a low voice, "I will not force you. If you think about it clearly, take this jade pendant into the palace, and I will wait for you."
Guan Suyi's heart was numb, but she still took off the jade pendant and firmly refused, "A gentleman does not bully the dark room. Today, the ministers and wives are compelled to ask you for help. In the future, we should keep our duties and stay safe. You are the monarch. , if there is a scandal about having an affair with a courtier’s wife, it will be a stain on you, please think again.” And her fate will only be worse.
"Stain? My stains are still few? The reputation of a tyrant has fallen to the left and right, so what are you afraid of?" Emperor Shengyuan laughed disdainfully, "You don't know, Zhao Luli's ex-wife didn't die at all, she was in the palace. Ye Jieyu. Zhao Lu has been working hard for so many years, but is it not to pave the way for her? Since the two of them are so deeply in love, I will be the beauty of an adult. Madam, you hurry back to clean up and make room for Ye Jieyu, she Coming soon."
Guan Suyi was stupid, and felt that his brain was not enough, and he didn't understand what he was talking about.
