The door of the imperial study room was pushed open, and a lavender figure walked out and appeared in everyone's sight. This person was Yun Jingchu, with a just right smile on his face. Yingying walked in. In fact, she was in the imperial garden just now.
As Fang Shijing walked into the imperial study room with a gloomy expression, he followed him and signaled to Eunuch Xu that there was no need to inform him. He overheard the conversation between the two at the door.
"If the emperor does this, we will always be passive. Why not wait until after breakfast and invite His Royal Highness Prince Heliancheng to the Jinluan Palace, and the emperor will tell him the matter personally. Wouldn't it be better?" Yun Jingchu said with courage in her tone.
The whole person had an extraordinary temperament. He turned to look at Yuwen Rui, and a dazzling light flashed through his bright eyes, making Yu Wenrui look at his heart filled with love and look deeply at the woman he loved deeply in front of him.
Fang Shijing looked at the emperor's eyes and couldn't help but frown. Now the emperor really only had Yun Jingchu in his eyes.
Soon, Yu Wenrui emerged from the dust with a stern face. He looked at Fang Shijing and Eunuch Xu, and ordered in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, you will personally invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Helian City to the Jinluan Palace. Eunuch Xu will also send someone to invite Concubine Xian.
Come."
"Yes, I (slave) will go right away." Fang Shijing immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order. Eunuch Xu responded respectfully. The two of them quickly turned around and left the imperial study room. They wanted to follow the emperor's instructions and report it to Prince Heliancheng before he knew about it.
.
In fact, since last night, there have been more and more rumors throughout the capital, and people have been talking about it. Princess Qitian's whereabouts are unknown, and she may have been killed long ago. This has made many people panic. This has a bearing on the two countries.
It seems that Wenyuan is facing another war. The war at the border has not subsided yet. If another war breaks out...
The news was like a bird with wings, flying all over the capital, flying into the high palace wall, the Yonghe Palace. When Heliancheng heard the rumor, he struck hard on the armrest with his big palm, and his red eyes were filled with anger.
Looking at the little eunuch who made the report.
"Are you telling the truth?" The voice was extremely cold, just like the ice source under the thousand-year-old cold pool, which made people shudder. The little eunuch knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise his head, and supported the floor with trembling hands.
He spoke cautiously: "Go back to Your Highness, the news has already spread throughout the streets and alleys. I'm afraid the princess has already..."
Was his sister Helena really killed? If this happened, he would make Emperor Wen Yuan pay the price. There was a loud "pop" sound, and the cup standing on the table next to Helian City was heard.
Shattered in an instant, he suddenly stood up and glanced coldly at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground.
"Where is your emperor? Bring me the prince immediately -" Before he could finish his words, he saw his bodyguard walking up to him and reporting: "Your Highness, Prime Minister Fang is here."
As soon as he said these words, Fang Shijing, wearing a straight official robe, walked in with steady steps. He looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, cupped his fists and said, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
"What's the matter, Prime Minister Fang?" He Liancheng looked very unhappy and asked coldly.
"I believe that His Highness already knows about the princess, and I feel very sad." Fang Shijing did not convey the emperor's meaning immediately, but started to express his condolences.
As soon as he said these words, Heliancheng's face became darker and darker, and his original suspicion instantly turned into firmness. At this moment, he no longer wanted to question Emperor Wenyuan, but wanted to directly show off his power.
"Where is your emperor? I, the Crown Prince, need to go see him immediately!" He Liancheng suddenly remembered his two-day appointment with Yun Jingchu. Today happened to be the second day. He couldn't help but clench his fists and said, "And that county
Lord, I want to see you too..." If it was really Yun Jingchu who killed his sister, he would not care about her identity. No matter what, he would never let his sister die in vain.
"I will now take His Highness the Crown Prince to the Jinluan Palace to find the Emperor and Princess. Prince, please..." Fang Shijing raised an imperceptible sign at the corner of his mouth, and then walked respectfully in front, preparing to take Heliancheng to the Golden Palace.
He Liancheng nodded, and before leaving, he suddenly pointed at the little eunuch kneeling below and ordered in a deep voice to his subordinates: "Take this little eunuch with you." After saying that, he looked at it coldly.
The little eunuch who was at a loss on the ground finally took a step forward and walked out of the hall.
The solemn Jinluan Palace is resplendent with a strange aura.
Sitting high on the dragon chair, Yu Wenrui is dressed in a bright yellow brocade dragon robe and wears a black crown with twelve points on his head, shining with dazzling brilliance. The aura of the emperor is unmistakable. A cold charm flashes on his handsome face, and the god is cold and gloomy.
, which makes people wonder. Sitting on his right is Yun Jingchu. Her lavender dress highlights her graceful figure. Her long brocade-like hair is tied up with purple gold hairpins. Her delicate face is filled with extraordinary courage.
Graceful and charming.
At the bottom, Concubine Xian was a little uneasy. A flash of panic flashed in her eyes, but she still pretended to be calm and said: "I wonder what the emperor called me here for?"
"Someone told me that you were the one who sent Concubine Lian out of the palace. I was afraid that you would be wronged, so I wanted you to confront me..." Yu Wenrui's tone was calm, and there was no trace of the meaning behind his words.
What does it mean? But to others, they thought that the emperor seemed to dote on Concubine Xian very much, which made everyone a little confused.
As soon as these words were said, a high-pitched voice was heard from outside the palace: "His Royal Highness Prince Qitian has arrived——"
I saw Heliancheng dressed in Qitian royal attire, colorful, with clear outlines, a face like a sculpture, and black eyebrows trimmed like willow silk, narrowly flying into the temples, walking in, looking at Yu Wenrui and Yun Jingchu from above, eyes early
Unable to hide his anger, he sat down calmly without waiting for Yu Wenrui to sit down. His face was not very pretty, and his big hands were clenched into fists, as if he was ready to show off his power at any time.
Thinking about it, he raised his eyes to look at Yun Jingchu, who was sitting on the right side of the emperor, and happened to catch her clear eyes. He said coldly: "Your Majesty, Lian'er is not missing at all, but was harmed by your future queen.
Dead?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire space fell silent. Yu Wenrui raised his eyes, his handsome face was serious, and he was the first to break the silence and said: "I wonder who your Highness the Crown Prince listened to?"
"A little eunuch in Yonghe Hall." He Liancheng leaned back on his chair. When he finished speaking, he motioned to his people to bring up the little eunuch who reported the news to him today. As soon as the little eunuch saw this
Waiting for the scene, his legs softened with a plop, and he knelt on the ground trembling. Especially when the emperor's voice sounded above him, he almost fainted from fright.
"Bold slave, what did you say to His Highness the Crown Prince!" The voice came like hell, cold and gloomy, making the little eunuch's hair stand on end. "Return, return to the emperor, what the slave said is true. It has been spread both inside and outside the palace.
Opened and said the princess was dead——"
With a "pop" sound, the little eunuch's words were immediately swallowed alive. Yu Wenrui hit the armrest hard, feeling cold all over his body. He looked at the eunuch kneeling down coldly, his face full of anger: "Bold
You slave, you fabricated lies! I can punish you with death at any time!"
"Your Majesty, this servant is unjust. I didn't make it up. Even Concubine Xian told this servant." The little eunuch said tremblingly. Listening to the emperor's words, how could he not be afraid? The princess wanted to say so himself. He had
How dare he not do this? After all, she is the future queen, so he does not dare to neglect her.
Although he didn't know why the princess wanted to frame Concubine Xian like this, he still had to continue speaking bravely: "Concubine Xian told this servant early this morning, and asked me to tell His Highness the Crown Prince."
As soon as she said this, Concubine Xian's expression froze, she glanced at the eunuch who was lowering her head, and said coldly: "You slave, you actually slandered me!"
"Concubine Xian, it is indeed you who told this slave today, you must save this slave!" The little eunuch kept kowtowing, and it was really like this. Concubine Xian saw that the current situation was very wrong. This little eunuch
She has never seen it at all, and has never said this at all. This is obviously a frame-up. No matter what, she will continue according to the original matter. Only by letting this matter become a big mess, will the big mess have a chance to be saved.
own family.
Concubine Xian took a deep breath, and her face returned to its previous calmness: "Your Majesty, this servant did not lie. The princess did indeed die outside the palace. This has already spread outside, and the princess's body was found by the river south of the city.
."
She had secretly arranged for Jinxiang to find a female body similar to Helena and transport it to that location. Thinking about it, Concubine Xian had a confident smile on her lips, but in the next second, Yun Jingchu
The voice broke her confidence.
"Concubine Xian, you are really talking nonsense, the princess is not dead at all!"
"Princess, haven't you heard the rumors outside?" Concubine Xian was shocked, but she still pretended to be calm and asked.
"Is Concubine Xian talking about the dead body you asked Jinxiang to arrange?" Yun Jingchu said coldly.
How did she know? Concubine Xian looked at Yun Jingchu again, only to find that she was also looking at her, with a cold smile on her lips, as if she was laughing at her. Was she laughing at her being deceived? She was about to turn around and look for Jin
Xiang, only to find that Jin Xiang was no longer around. Did Jin Xiang betray her?
Of course, it was not Jinxiang who betrayed her. That girl had always been loyal to Concubine Xian, but the person who came to inform Jinxiang betrayed Jinxiang. Yun Jingchu smiled and said: "I have proved that
The corpse by the river south of the city is not the princess, and the real princess is not dead at all!"
As soon as Yun Jingchu finished speaking, another high-pitched voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, Guard Wu is waiting outside the palace to see you!"
"Xuan!" Yu Wenrui waved his big hand, full of dominance.
I saw Wu Weihai, dressed in official uniform, striding in. He nodded to Yun Jingchu, clasped his hands and said respectfully: "I have seen the emperor, the princess, and the prince. The princess has been found, and I have taken her with me.
