Chapter 119: Tingbian

"Niangniang, this is how things are. Your Royal Highness gambled in a shop in the West Market. Unexpectedly, the lady in that shop put the crown beads on her hairpin, and Princess Zhaoping saw it. The princess thought it was this one. The people in the shop stole the crown of His Majesty, and now they have been taken to the capital of Yin. His Royal Highness has sent someone to intercept, saying that the palace will ask the empress to take care of him. If someone wants to report the matter to your majesty, ask the empress to stop him. under."
Concubine Hui's face sank instantly, and the chest wrapped in the Hua Yi rose and fell, and she placed the tea cup in her hand on the table again, "Is the crown a gambling? Why is it so confused, I don't know the severity!?"
Qin Jiu's complexion condensed, and he said in amazement: "Manny, why is the crown actually from His Royal Highness Kangyang?"
Concubine Hui raised her brows in surprise, "Why, did you know about this?"
Qin Jiu got up and said: "Manny, I really know about this. On the day of the Weaving Festival, Princess Zhaoping saw the cute piglet I embroidered, so she asked me to embroider a sachet for her. I went to the West Market to select fabrics. When I met Princess Zhaoping, they chose fabrics together. Later, I saw that she had arrested the owner of the jewelry store because of the crown, but I never expected that the crown belonged to His Royal Highness Kangyang." She said the matter gently. Finally said annoyedly, "If I had known this, I should have stopped Princess Zhaoping."
Qin Jiu took the initiative to talk about the matter first. She took the initiative to say such things, and it was different from Concubine Hui that she was with Princess Zhaoping afterwards.
Concubine Hui sighed, "You are not to blame for this. Who would have thought that he would gamble with his crown, even my palace would not even think of it. Now I just want to make up for it!" Although she was extremely angry, Concubine Hui Knowing that the matter was serious, she quickly calmed down.
"This matter, presumably Princess Zhaoping will not easily say it. At the capital Yin Menghuai's side, let your Highness send someone over. Although this matter is important, as long as it doesn't reach your Majesty, it is a small case." Qin Jiu frowned and said.
Concubine Hui nodded, her blushing lips pursed, "You are right, this palace thinks so too." She glanced at the little who bowed in front of her, and said decisively, "Where is King Kangyang now? ?"
The little lowered his head and said: "The letter came and said that His Royal Highness had sent someone to stop the princess, and planned to get the crown back from the princess, and then make the matter small."
Concubine Hui narrowed her eyes slightly, "That's okay, you tell the person who came to tell the person to tell King Kang Yang to reply. If you don't stop the princess, let him go to Jingfu Yin to find Meng Huai. Just leave it to this palace."
The little responded.
Qin Jiu stood up and said: "Mother, why don't I go out to see Princess Zhaoping now. Your Royal Highness has lost the crown. If I become impatient, if I can't persuade Zhaoping, I'm afraid he will be tough."
Concubine Hui nodded when she heard the words, and said bitterly: "He knows that he is impatient now. Okay, Jiu'er, let's go. It's best to let Zhaoping misunderstand that the crown was stolen by those two people, otherwise, I'm afraid Zhaoping won't Will promise to keep it secret."
Qin Jiu Yingying gave a salute, "I know." She was about to retreat, and the in charge of Jingxiu Palace reported to the outside: "Niang, I heard that Princess Zhaoping had something to do, your majesty heard that she was furious."
After hearing the words, Concubine Hui shook the tea cup she was holding, and she was about to spill the tea. "What's the matter?" Although he tried his best to stabilize his voice, his voice couldn't help being raised and sharp.
Qin Jiu knew in his heart that it was Loquat who had arranged for someone to go and kidnap Wang Hu and Shuangyu, which aroused Princess Zhaoping's suspicion. Zhaoping should have already asked Wang Hu and Shuangyu to know the truth.
The chief said: "I heard that Princess Zhaoping escorted two culprits to the capital of Yin today, but was assassinated on the road. It happened that Commander Yuan passed by and saved the princess."
Concubine Hui turned pale with anger, threw the tea cup to the ground, and stood up and said, "Where is Your Majesty now?"
"Your Majesty is now asking Yuan Da Commander in the Imperial Study Room!"
Concubine Hui's face was like frost, her chest was constantly rising and falling, obviously she was thinking fiercely, and finally her brows condensed, and she stood up and said: "Jiu'er, you don't need to stop Zhaoping anymore. Come with me to see your Majesty! Hope Yuan He doesn't know anything." As he said, he hurried away.
Qin Jiu followed Concubine Hui and headed to the Imperial Study Room together. Outside the Imperial Study Room, I saw the eunuchs standing outside with solemn faces, and the atmosphere suddenly felt tense. The chief Li Ying saw Hui Fei and Qin Jiu, and after going in and making a report, they led them in.
In the imperial study room, Emperor Qing was sitting pale and coughing after sitting on the case of the dragon, obviously out of anger. Su Xiang and Yu Taifu sat at the head of the Long case, and apparently they were discussing matters just now.
Yuan Ba ​​stood solemnly under his head.
Concubine Hui couldn't help but screamed badly. Emperor Qing glanced at Concubine Hui coldly, and said solemnly: "Concubine Hui, you just came here, and you take my prince to teach you really good!"
Concubine Hui knelt down on her skirt and said with a panic expression: "The concubine doesn't know what Min'er has done, which aroused your majesty's anger. Please express your majesty."
Emperor Qing smiled coldly, "You still pretend not to know? Then what are you doing in a hurry to see me?"
Concubine Hui whispered: "The concubine was very worried when she heard that Princess Zhaoping had something to do, so she came to have a look."
"I don't know that you care about Princess Zhaoping so much, but I will tell you that Zhao Pingping was kidnapped. If it weren't for the leader of Yuan Da to pass by in time, I might not have seen the princess. It was the one who came to the crown and was almost injured. The princess, and the crown in the hands of the princess belongs to Min'er."
Concubine Hui's heart shuddered, but Yan Min did not expect Yan Min to come hard. She argued: "Your Majesty, although the crown belongs to Min'er, the person who snatches the crown may not necessarily be sent by Min'er. Min'er will never treat the princess in this way. It is her sister! Please, your majesty. check."
Emperor Qing snorted heavily.
The chief Li Ying reported to the outside world that King Kangyang had seen him.
"Let him in!" Qingdi said coldly.
Yan Min walked in quickly, and when he saw the battle in the house, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly knelt in the underground: "The son of the minister knocks on his father."
Emperor Qing snorted, "You still have my father in your eyes? Look, what is this?" Emperor Qing pointed to the crown on the dragon case.
That was Yan Min's crown, which was about to fall to the ground during the snatch, a bit torn apart.
Yan Min's face became stiff, and he lowered his head and said, "Given my father, it is the crown of a child minister."
Emperor Qing sneered, his eyes stern and frightening, "You actually recognize it?"
Yan Min looked apprehensive, with tears in his eyes, "Father, the son is convicted, but the son has not kept the crown, please forgive him!"
"You are talking about how your crown got to the jeweler. If it is reasonable, I will forgive you." Qing Emperor Qing's eyes were bright and dark, making Yan Min unable to guess his mind. . But it is absolutely impossible for him to admit that he lost the crown by gambling. He knelt on the ground with his brows slightly condensed, obviously thinking about countermeasures, and said in a sad voice: "This crown, Erchen has always been carefully kept. That day, the top pearl on the crown was loose, so he sent it to the jewelry store. Inlay, I was going to retrieve it tomorrow."
"Really? Did you send someone to grab the crown?" Qingdi asked coldly.
"There is absolutely no Erchen!" Yan Min said decisively.
Emperor Qing remained silent, staring at Yan Min coldly, "I also hope that what you said is true." After saying this, he closed his eyes and said nothing.
The royal study room fell into silence. After a long time, I heard Li Ying complain to Qin Huanhuan, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry.
Qin Jiu frowned, wondering why the durian was involved. At the opening of the door curtain, Durian walked in quickly, dressed in an official uniform. After bowing down, Emperor Qing asked, "Qin Aiqing, is it clear?"
Durian reported: "Your Majesty, the matter has been cleared by the ministers. Wang Hu's shop not only sells jewelry, but also has a gambling game. Wang Hu's gambling skills are very high. He uses his wife to bet, and the other party asks to bet with jewelry. According to him, on May 3, a young man of Huafu came to his shop, looked at his wife, and put the finger on his finger down, but lost to him. Later, the young man of Huafu I would bet once a day, most of them at night, and every bet brought was a rare treasure. Until May 8th, Wang Hu felt that he had won too much jewelry for the Chinese costume boy, so he wanted to stop. , He said that he was no longer interested in the jewelry of Mr. Huafu, and he didn’t want to gamble anymore. Unexpectedly, that Mr. Huafu didn’t give up, and brought a jade crown studded with pearls the next day. He didn’t know him. This was a crown, thought it was an ordinary jade crown. His wife liked the pearls on the jade crown so much, so he agreed to bet for the last time. He really did not expect that this was actually the crown of King Kangyang. If he knew, he I won't remove the crown and set it on the golden hairpin."
Emperor Qing coughed violently, pointing at Yan Min and speechless.
Durian said again: "The minister has already sent someone to the shop and brought over the jewels and other jewelry mentioned by Wang Hu. Please take a look." Durian said, and then took Yan Min's loss in the shop. The tall coral trees, jade bracelets, jade pendants and other items were handed over to Li Ying.
Li Ying carried it to the Long Case.
Emperor Qing finally stopped his cough, picked up the jewels that Li Ying had presented, and looked at it one by one, his face already turned blue.
"Niezi, you said you sent the beads to the shop?" His fingers trembled, and he picked up the finger. "This jade finger was given to you when you were fifteen. Could it be that you too Has this piece been sent to the jewelry shop to be inlaid with beads? This one..." Emperor Qing picked up another jade pendant, "If I remember correctly, this jade pendant was given to your mother and concubine at the beginning, and your mother and concubine left it again. Here you are, this is the relic of your mother and concubine. Could it be said that this is also the one you sent to the shop to inlay the beads? This one..." Emperor Qing reached out for the coral tree, but couldn't move it because of the shaking of his fingers, just pointing Coral tree said, "Does this coral tree also use beads? You tell me, where do you want to inlay?"
There was silence in the imperial study room, only the voice of Emperor Qing implied anger.
Everyone in the house has different faces.
Yan Min's face was as white as paper, and cold sweat came out on his forehead. He had originally thought that no matter what was found out, he would insist on sending the beads to inlay. Unexpectedly, this durian had collected these jewels, and suddenly there was nothing to say.
Concubine Hui's face turned pale, the corners of her lips pressed tightly, and the look of the general situation in her eyes was obvious. Taifu Yu's face was cold, his brows furrowed tightly, and he obviously didn't believe that the dignified prince would go to the gambling. Su Xiang's face was calm, but if you look closely, you can see that the corners of his lips are slightly hooked. Yuan Ba's face was expressionless, but he glanced sharply at Yan Min.
Qin Jiu glanced at the durian, but when he saw that he didn't look at her, his face was as calm as waves and his eyes were solemn. She feels that since she came to Lijing, the changes in durians have become bigger and bigger. He is no longer the ignorant young man at the beginning. Although there is no order from him, he has done a good job today.
Emperor Qing said sentence by sentence. In the end, the anger in his tone was already extremely strong. With a sudden force, he swept down the jewels on the Dragon Case and Yan Min's crown together.
A dazzling array of jewels fell on the ground one by one, and when they contacted the ground, they made a crisp sound. The coral tree shattered, and the remaining six top beads on the crown also fell, and leaped unwillingly on the ground.
In the imperial study room, the sound of ding ding dong dong was endless.
At the end, when it finally fell silent.
Yan Minsu was like a chill, bowed his head to the ground, and cried: "Father, it's not filial piety, please calm down your anger!"
When everyone saw this, they all knelt to the ground, and Qin Jiu also knelt down with them, saying in unison, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
Li Ying hurriedly stepped forward to support Qingdi and said, "Your Majesty, you must take care of the dragon body!"
Qin Jiu knew very well that Emperor Qing could not calm down his anger.
Yan Min can lose his crown by gambling now, and he can lose his country by gambling in the future. What's more, this bet also involves the bet on women. For a woman, lost his crown. Besides, there is also Zhaoping. Emperor Qing would never send someone to try to find out whether someone from the Yan Min faction would the crown from Zhaoping's hands, because even if it wasn't for Yan Min, his throne could not be kept. If it is found out that he did it, what is the face of Emperor Qing, his prince almost hurt his princess for the crown.
Since this crown Yan Min himself is not rare, Qing Emperor naturally would not give it again. On the second day, Emperor Qing made an order to cut off Yan Min's throne. Since then, Yan Min has no more chance to fight for the crown.
This incident shocked Manchao.
The people of Tianchen Sect wanted to speak for Yan Min, and could not find a reason to convince Emperor Qing.
