There is no number in the middle of this stick, only a red phoenix feather is painted on the tail, and the gold powder embellished with it flashes with a little luster.
Phoenix sign.
There was silence in the hall, and suddenly there was the sound of chairs being moved, the screen near the door was pushed open, and someone rushed out.
"Weiwei!" The clear and slightly urgent tone was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
The ladies stepped back in shock and looked up to see His Royal Highness the King of Yue, who had been thunderous in recent days.
His face is as handsome as the rumors say, and his figure is taller than imagined. The prince's python robe is particularly tall and straight on his body, and the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows adds a touch of immortality.
The rich ladies in the palace couldn't help but be stunned. Some of them had seen Yang Shu from a distance in the early years, and they only thought that he was more heroic than they remembered.
Ah, what should I do if I am even more sad? Why is it that I am not the one who wins the phoenix lottery?!
Yang Shu was so excited that he wanted to rush over. As soon as he reached the middle, Xuan Fei had already taken two steps forward and raised his hand to block him.
"Your Highness, King of Yue, please don't be rude."
Yang Shu wanted to get past him, but Xuanfei moved a step to the side, blocking him tightly.
The excitement subsided slightly, and the imperial concubine's voice came from inside: "What are you doing? They are all young ladies who have not left the palace. Don't scare them, come back!"
Yang Shu was unwilling to do so, but he did not dare to go against the imperial concubine's wishes. He could only glance at Mingwei reluctantly and retreat.
The screen was rearranged and Xuan Fei handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, the phoenix lottery has been issued. What do you think?"
Wen Ying was stunned the moment she showed her phoenix sign.
So, he didn’t make the wrong choice at first, but he gave the Phoenix Lotto to Mingwei abruptly?
She was spinning, recalling everything just now, and instantly realized that she had fallen into a trap.
Mingwei is deliberately misleading her! Making herself think that she is holding the Phoenix Lotto!
After thinking about this, Wen Ying blurted out: "Ming Qi! You are cheating!"
Xuan Fei had just finished her report, and everyone was waiting for the emperor to speak. Suddenly, after hearing her words, their eyes immediately focused on Wen Ying.
The internal official who was waiting on the side sternly scolded: "Miss Wen San, your Majesty is here, how can you be so ignorant of etiquette!"
Wen Ying didn't react until she said it.
Now that the matter had come to this, she felt heartbroken and knelt down: "My lord, I'm sorry. I just saw that Your Majesty was deceived, and I was so excited that I couldn't express my displeasure."
Before the emperor could speak, Yang Shu's voice had already come out: "Hey! Don't be alarmist. Your Majesty has been deceived. It's obviously because of your own cleverness that you gave up the Phoenix Lotus to others, and you are unwilling to accept it. I say Miss Wen San, I am
The king doesn't want to marry you at all, so why don't you bring shame on yourself?"
Wen Ying's face turned red. Normally, she would have left in shame and anger after hearing these words, but now she gritted her teeth and endured it.
It was obvious that he was being taken advantage of. If he didn't say a word, would he let Mingwei step on him and have his own way?
She was unwilling to give in. Even if she couldn't become the Yue Princess, she couldn't let Mingwei use her to rise to the top!
"Your Majesty, please think about the situation just now. Ming Qi is deliberately misleading me! It can be seen that she already knew which lottery was the phoenix, and today's draw is not fair at all. Your Majesty knows this!"
Yang Shu also scolded: "You are talking nonsense..."
But the prince intercepted his words: "Why are you anxious? Today's draw is based on fairness and justice. If there are doubts and are not clarified, wouldn't it mean that our royal family has broken its trust? Listen to what she said, if it is really unreasonable, there will be no recurrence.
Chi. Father, what do you think?"
How could the emperor not know that the prince took the opportunity to have an attack, but he also felt that something was strange just now, so he said: "Miss Wen San, please tell me."
Wen Ying slowed down and bravely said: "Your Majesty, when I just chose the lot, I and the others were thinking about it over and over again. Only Ming Qi, she took that one without even thinking about it. If she had chosen it with all her heart.
, how could she be so contemptuous? It was precisely because of this that the court lady was suspicious, so she called her out. Now think about it, when she took it at will, she was not sure which one was the one, but was sure that none of the ones in the tube were the same. No matter which one she took, it was not.
Same."
"This is just your inference!" Yang Shu said, "There is no evidence, and you just want to frame someone?"
"Your Majesty, please think about it again. How will my daughter react when she wants to change the lottery in her hand? Is she panicking and looking guilty? She knows that my daughter has chosen the Phoenix lottery and did it deliberately.
Acting like that arouses suspicion!"
"Haha!" Yang Shu laughed twice, "You..."
"Ayan!" This time he was interrupted by the emperor before he could finish his words, "Isn't it embarrassing for you, my majestic prince, to argue with a little girl? Since Miss Wen San is accusing Miss Ming Qi, let's let him
They speak for themselves."
Yang Shu was still dissatisfied: "Your Majesty, I..."
"Shut up!"
Yang Shu could only accept it aggrievedly.
The chamberlain looked at the words and asked: "Miss Mingqi, what do you say?"
Mingwei stepped forward and gave a salute and replied: "Holy Master, what Miss Wen San said is really out of thin air. The little girl took the lot, and she suddenly came to rob her. How could she not panic? How could anyone judge the little girl just because she was frightened?
Are you feeling guilty? If you can convict the little girl just by making assumptions, doesn’t the government even need evidence when handling the case?"
Wen Ying's eyes were filled with fire: "How dare you say you didn't mean to provoke me? You hid the lottery like a treasure, it was clearly to make me suspicious of you!"
Mingwei sneered: "What Miss Wen San said is so funny. How could I have known that you would be so arrogant and dare to take someone else's lottery ticket? If you don't take it, nothing will happen. Besides, I am suspicious of Feng.
The lottery is about to be taken away by force. Could it be that Miss Wen San believes that the Phoenix lottery can only belong to you? Such a robber is so confident in his words? "
Wen Ying was stunned for a moment and bit her lip in frustration.
She had taken Mingwei's lottery by force before because she believed that she did not dare to say that the lottery was a phoenix and would only suffer a loss.
If you make it clear now, doesn't it mean that you personally admit that what you grabbed is the Phoenix Lotto?
Mingwei added: "It is understandable that Miss Wen San is suspicious of the situation just now. But if you have no selfish motives, you can tell me in front of the nobles to prevent me from succeeding. But not only did you not say it, you also took it by force.
It can be seen that in your heart, the important thing is whether the Phoenix Lotus belongs to you, not whether others cheat or not."
Wen Ying was anxious. If she didn't wash away this crime today, wouldn't she become a big joke in the entire capital?
But as soon as she said the word "I", she was interrupted by the prince: "Okay! Third cousin, it seems that you have overthought it, so let's forget about it."
He was smart for once. When he saw that the wind was going in the wrong direction, Wen Ying had no evidence at all, and if he continued talking, he would only suffer a loss, so he wanted to stop it in time.
I didn’t want to, but this time Mingwei refused.
She bowed down and bowed: "Holy Master, today my little girl drew the phoenix lot, but people are suspicious of her. If she can't explain clearly, even if she gets married and has a child, she will still be criticized by people, and she will be mentioned by boring people from time to time, and she will be worried until her death.
I can’t clean it up. Please give me justice, Your Majesty!” (To be continued)
