Chapter 29: Self-defense

"Let the mourning family come here to see what?" The Empress Dowager's confused eyes turned around the courtyard. "Why are there so many people standing here?"
The concubine Yue hurriedly signaled the crown prince to dismiss the guards in the courtyard. She quickly stepped forward and fell down: "The concubine see the empress dowager, the empress empress.
I do n’t know if the two maidens are approaching.
The Queen Yan did not wait for her words to finish, and immediately asked coldly, "Is the Nihuang sitting over there? What happened to her?"
Yue Guifei swept her eyes and saw that King Jing had approached Ni Huang and gently lifted her. The master of the county turned red and her eyes were closed. She could not say that she was okay. When the Lord came to feast, he didn't expect that the wine was too strong, and Nihuang was drunk ... "
"The heroine of Nihuang County is heroic, and the amount of alcohol is not weak. How can he get drunk so easily?"
"The concubine also feels weird," Yue Guifei still had a smile on her face. "Maybe it's been a little worrying about choosing a son-in-law in recent days."
"Then what the guards of the Manchuria are here for? Is there anyone who dares to make a wild at Zhaoren Palace? Say it, the Ai's family will take charge of you."
"Oh, this bodyguard ..." Yue Guifei laughed, "Prince is going to show me the sword array, saying that it is well-trained, but it is a dance skill."
Queen Yan looked fixedly at her eyes and suddenly chuckled, "What joke does the concubine say? You let a noble guest such as Nihuang County Lord drunk on the steps, but instead see what knife array here with her son ... … It ’s okay to bring this back and forth to mourn the family. Is it possible that you still want to return to your majesty just like this?

"How to return to your majesty is the concubine's own business. How dare you bother the empress and the queen to worry about the concubine." Yue Guifei pushed back softly.
Seeing her mother being so calm, the prince who was still pale also came over slowly and saluted the empress and empress.
The Empress Dowager has been listening with great interest to the Queen and the Concubine's lips, tongue and sword. When she saw the prince coming to salute, she immediately touched his head lovingly. "Xuan'er, who are the two children over there? Far away, see Not clear ... "
"... Uh ..." Crown Prince was a little embarrassed, "That's Jing Yan ... and Lord Nihuang ..."
"Why can't these two children come here too grandma?"
"The empress dowager is at ease," the queen said softly, but the words seemed to be ice. "Nihuang is just drunk. She will wake up sooner or later. When she wakes up, the concubine will persuade her, and do n’t do it again. Drink such a strong wine ... "
Yue Gui's chest was stagnant, and her teeth clenched without discoloration.
This is indeed the worst part of the whole thing.
The King Jingdao threatened the prince himself. The two parties basically reached an agreement on the killing. They did not pursue each other, and Sima Lei also left. The queen did not catch any current criminal evidence. No matter how she moved in front of the emperor, it was just a word. Way to justify.
Only the mouth of the governor could not be blocked.
The only hope now is to look forward to the daughter-in-law's family of shame and arrogance, and unwillingness to make the almost humiliated thing public, so as not to spoil her own innocent reputation.
Princess Jingning had ran to the side of Nihuang County Master at this time, looking at her blushing face worriedly, and whispered: "What should I do? Get drunk like this, help me to take a rest in my palace first."
Jing Wang also felt that it was more convenient for her sister to take care of the lord. At the moment, she nodded and ordered someone to take a soft sedan. Yili first asked for permission from the queen and escorted Nihuang away with Jingning.
The empress knew that it was more effective for the prince of Nihuang County to come to her than to come out, not to mention, accompanied the empress dowager into the main hall of Zhaoren Palace to chat and laugh, forcing the concubine to have to accompany him, neither had time. When I first went to the emperor to blow my hair, I couldn't find a chance to confess with the prince. Both the mother and the son were cheerleading and laughed, and the queen's heart was very comfortable.
After the lord of Nihuang County was escorted into Princess Jingning's bedroom Yinxiao Pavilion, King Jing immediately summoned several doctors.
After the consultation, everyone said that the master of the county was only short of pulse and impaired blood, no blood flow, no serious symptoms, and no harm to his life.
After Jing Wang was relieved, she was about to luck out acupuncture points for her. The master suddenly opened his eyes with his teeth, shook his head at him, and then stopped his hand again, and ordered his sister to take care of herself, and she quit the hall and stayed quietly. On the bench in the courtyard, one waits and the other guards.
After about half an hour, Princess Jingning ran out and gasped: "Brother Yan, my sister opened your eyes just now and told you to go in."
Jing Wang quickly stood up and walked quickly into the hall. Sure enough, he saw that Nihuang had looked calm, and then he was completely relieved and stepped forward to unlock her acupuncture points.
The master slowly sat up from the bed, his eyes cold as frost, and after a moment of contemplation, Fang looked up and looked at Jing Wang slowly. He whispered, "Thank you."
King Jing only nodded slightly and did not answer. Instead, Princess Jingning asked with concern: "Sister Nihuang, how much drunk have you been like this? I just shook you for a long time, and you did n’t even bother me ..."
"It's alright." Ni Huang reached out and touched Jingning's small face gently, got out of bed, and stood up.
"Where is my sister?"
"Faint."
Jing Jing's eyes could not help but jumped and asked in a low voice: "The master decided?"
"It's really not a face-lifting thing," Ni Huang sneered like ice, "Maybe the concubine also counted on me to swallow in order to hide this humiliation.
It's a pity that she still misread me, Ni Huang, and Mo said that she didn't succeed today. Even if she succeeded, she wanted to make me succumb to her. "
"Your Majesty should be in the residence hall. Since the governor has decided, then Jing Yan will you to go." Jing Wang said without a word, the tone was fair.
"No need to trouble, I have now ..."
"This is not Yunnan, after all, it's better to be careful."
Knowing his good intentions, Nihuang no longer shook off his courtesy and nodded.
Princess Jingning looked at this, then at that, and finally couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about? I don't understand ..."
"I'll explain it to you later," Ni Huang smiled slightly at her. "I'm in a bad mood now. I don't want to talk more before I meet your majesty."
Jingning, please forgive me. "
"Why are you so polite ..." Xiao Jingning was a little embarrassed, "So, I will go with you too?"
"No," Jing Wang immediately rejected, "Don't mix it up on this occasion, don't wait here, don't mess around everywhere, understand?" Xiao Jingning is not a little girl who knows nothing about evil, look at the two With a dignified look, I remembered Lin Lin from this day, and knew that things were not simple. I asked no more now and nodded obediently.
Out of the Yinxiao Pavilion, the two went silently along the way, and they didn't mean to speak. As for the palace people on both sides, they didn't seem to see it.
It wasn't until the front of the residence hall that he stopped to let the yellow gate official outside the hall inform.
Hearing the two of them asking for a meeting together, Emperor Liang was a little surprised. He quickly spread the word and saw the countenance of the county master. He was even more suspicious in his heart. When they went to the state ceremony, they immediately asked, "Neon, what's wrong? Are you upset? "
Nihuang County Lord bowed his skirt, bowed his head and said, "Please Your Majesty take charge of Nihuang."
"Oh, get up, get up quickly, and say something slowly ..."
The Nihuang County Master knelt down and looked straight at Emperor Liang ’s eyes, saying: "The Yuegui Concubine is named after her hometown style. She summoned Nihuanghuang into Zhaoren Palace, but secretly made hands and feet in the water, bewildering Nihuang. Mindful, the prince took the opportunity to bring the foreign minister Sima Lei into the inner courtyard, wanting to do something wrong, and wanted to force Ni Huang to marry.
I still want to make a detailed investigation on this matter, and I am fair to Ni Huang. "
Her words were concise and straightforward, and there was no hint of pretense. Instead, she was shocked by the words. Emperor Liang was already trembling with anger and shouted: "Call the concubine and the prince! Come and raise the palace!"
This will was surprisingly fast. Not only did all the people who came should come, but all who should not have come.
In addition to the concubines and crown princes called, the Queen and King Yu also appeared together.
"Yue Fei! Crown prince! Are you guilty ?!" After waiting for the salute to finish, Emperor Liang yelled.
Yue Guifei's face was shocked, and she bowed her head in panic: "The concubine didn't know what to do to anger the Holy Face. Please speak clearly."
"Don't you pretend?" Liang Di shot the case, "What did you do to Nihuang today? Say!"
"Nixun County Lord?" Yue Guifei was even more surprised. "The concubine invited the master to have a feast today. Later, the master was overwhelmed with alcohol, and was drunk. The concubine and the prince were taking care of him. Princess Jingning took the county master to rest ... The concubine did not know what happened afterwards.
Is it because the hospitality is not good enough, the county master feels neglected? "
Seeing her push clean, Nihuang County sneered a few times and said, "Your wine is really powerful. Drinking just one cup is like a drug, and you are confused.
Is there such a wine in the world? Moreover, I just drank the glass of wine, and the prince took Sima Lei in and entangled. This is also a coincidence? "
"That wine is the Qilixiang from the Holy Sovereign. Although the power of the wine is fierce, only the master said that it was like a drug after drinking it.
Your majesty can search the palace of concubines, there is absolutely no other wine.
Moreover, the master of the county was afraid that he was drunk at that time. The only prince came in. Where is Sima Lei? In this matter, you can also ask all the people in the Zhaoren Palace to see if a second person saw Sima Lei coming in. "
The main director of Nihuang County raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Zhaoren Palace is all yours. You deny it, who dares to give you away?"
The Concubine Yue did not directly refute her, but still defended Liang Diwei: "Although the people of Zhaoren Palace are serving concubines, everyone including the concubines is his maidservant's maidservant and majesty. Below, who dares to bully? "
She was so sharp-cutted that she couldn't refute the sentence. The Queen said that she couldn't restrain her anger and rebuked: "You are really sophistry, dare you not dare to do it? Unfortunately, you can't rely on the facts, but you can't be a county. The Lord framed you for no reason? "
Yue Guifei said indifferently: "The concubine didn't understand why the governor would compose this story for no reason, just as the concubine didn't understand that the queen's mother and daughter had no basis, why did they immediately believe in the governor, and refused to believe it? Just like concubine ... "
The Queen's heart sank, and she suddenly understood that she had done something wrong.
You should watch from beginning to end, and should not intervene.
Originally, the prince of Nihuang County sued the concubine. Emperor Liang could not think that the prince was seeking humiliation and trapped the concubine with his daughter's innocence.
But as soon as he intervened to protect Nihuang, it seemed that he suddenly became a fight between the two houses, and the emperor could not help thinking about it anymore.
Concubine Yue saw the emperor frown and thought deeply, and said slowly, "And the concubine also wanted to ask the empress dowager to give a testimony. After the master was drunk, the empress dowager suddenly entered the inner courtyard of Zhaoren Palace with the empress dowager. May I ask if the mother-in-law saw someone misbehaving against the governor? Even if the Queen Mother and Queen Mother are inconvenient to disturb her at this time, Princess Jingning was also there. Ask the Emperor to inquire about the Princess. What? "
Ni Huang didn't expect this lady concubine to be so sharp-mouthed and angry, she rushed and said, "That's because they came in time, your drug plan failed ..."
Concubine Yue turned around and faced her fierce and sharp eyes without shrinking, saying safely: "The master insists that I am mischievous, and I do not want to argue; the master is closer to the Queen Mother and the Honorable King, and It's not me and the prince, that's because our moral cultivation is lost, we don't dare to complain.
But may I ask the master, if your voice fell into my trap, could the jade body ever hurt? If I was really painstakingly operating a poison plan, how could the Queen Mother rush into the rescue so well? "
Emperor Liang's brows flicked, and his eyes swept the Queen and Yu Wang, seeming to have been moved by this sentence.
The master of Nihuang County was so angry that his hands were cold, and he was afraid that the tens of millions of enemy soldiers on the battlefield would be inferior to the chilling princess in the palace in front of her. When she was about to go back and scold, a calm voice sounded beside her: "Father and emperor, sons can testify. When the sons entered the inner courtyard of Zhaoren Palace, Sima Lei was indeed at the side of the governor, and he behaved badly."
Yue Guifei was shocked and turned to stare at Xiao Jingyan in disbelief.
"The son-in-law sees that the situation is urgent, so he has to be rude, and he wants to forcibly take the county master out." Jing Wangli ignored her, and still said eloquently, "In order to stop the son-in-law, the concubine and the prince ordered the guards to send out arrows, In desperation, the son-in-law had to take the prince as the qualitative, so that he could save his life and procrastinate until the empress dowager arrived.
The son-in-law knew that the knife threatening the prince was not a misdemeanor, but he did not want to hide the truth from his father emperor.
Please ask the father and emperor to think carefully, if it is not anxious to destroy a ghost in his heart, how can a prince want to shoot a child to kill his mouth? "
This scene did not even know the queen and the honorary king, everyone stayed together, the more concubine did not expect Xiao Jingyan to have such guts, a moment of confusion and complexion like snow.
"Yue Fei! Can this happen?" Emperor Liang looked like water, and he was irritated.
The concubine Yue bit her teeth and looked up: "Since the empress queen, the governor, and the king of Jing have all accused the concubine of guilt, the concubine dared not argue again, nor dare to ask for any evidence.
The concubine only asked His Majesty to be clever, and if His Majesty also believed that the concubine was guilty, my mother and son confessed their punishment themselves and would never dare to complain. "
She retreated in this way. Emperor Liang was hesitant. Do n’t believe it. Complaint one word at a time. Believe it, and think it was too many words. It is inevitable that there is a drum in the heart. He is hesitant. Command and see. "
Emperor Liang was dealing with such a serious incident, did not want to be disturbed, and waved his hand: "See you later."
The withdrew and bowed again. After a while, he said, "Your Majesty, the Mongolian leader has a sentence to order the servants to replace him. He said that he had won an unauthorized foreign minister Sima Lei outside Zhaoren Palace.
