Uncle Huan'er took a deep breath and said, "I want to see Your Majesty!"
The guard was stunned for a moment, then reminded him: "The princess wants to see your majesty after the court has dispersed. The court is currently discussing matters in the morning, so it is not appropriate to interrupt!"
Uncle Huan'er: "Go and report!"
Seeing her coming in the rain, the guard hesitated for a while, then waved to her left and right, asking someone to stop her first, while he quickly ran up the steps.
After a while, an eunuch in front of the palace gate hurriedly ran down, communicated with Taishu Huaner face to face, and then quickly ran back.
The eunuch entered the court sideways next to the door frame, not daring to disturb the ministers gathered in the hall to discuss matters. He walked around the corner of the hall and arrived at the pillar on the side below the throne. Under the cover of the big pillar, he faced
The one above bowed.
Emperor Tai Shuxiong of the Jin Dynasty was listening to politics on the throne. Tao Lue, the eunuch who was standing at the side with his hands tied, took a glance and knew that the eunuch who came must be in a hurry, otherwise he would not disturb him easily, so he slowly walked away from the throne.
, quietly walked down the steps.
After walking to the pillar, he asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"
The eunuch whispered back, "The seventh princess is here. She is outside in the rain and wants to see your majesty."
Tao Lue said in a low voice: "Nonsense, the court is where state affairs are handled. Go tell the princess that she is going to court early and ask her to come back. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it after the court is over."
The eunuch said: "The younger one also persuaded me, but the seventh princess said that she wants to see her now. If she is not allowed to see her, she will die outside, saying that we forced her to death!"
"Hiss..." Tao was slightly shocked and hesitated. It would not be good if he forced someone to commit suicide. If something like that happened, the master could really do it. If he really wanted to die, it would not be them.
Whether or not she was forced to death, if word spread, it would be considered that His Majesty the Emperor did this to his daughter and forced her to death.
He knew very well that the emperor regarded the seventh princess as the apple of his eye and loved her very much. The emperor did not want to see such a thing happen, but your majesty is the king of a country, and some things have to be done!
After the incident, the emperor was also very distressed, but he would not let anyone see it. The emperor did not even dare to see his daughter!
After thinking for a while, she pressed her hand to signal him to wait, then turned around and left the cover of the big pillar, walked to the throne again without haste, leaned over, and whispered in Tai Shuxiong's ear: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess is here.
, is outside the palace in the rain, asking to see His Majesty!"
Tai Shuxiong suddenly raised his eyes and looked outside the hall. He couldn't see his daughter at the high steps outside the hall, but he knew it was raining outside. After his cheeks tensed up repeatedly, he tilted his head and whispered: "Don't you understand the rules? Let me.
She goes back! Just tell her that she will see her again after the lonely king has left the court."
Tao Lue: "Your Majesty, the seventh princess said that if we don't see her now, she will...die!"
Tai Shuxiong suddenly grasped the armrests on both sides with both hands, his knuckles tightened, and stared at the gloomy sky outside the court hall.
The loud voices in the court stopped at some point. Although the courtiers didn't know what happened, they all noticed that something was wrong with His Majesty. They all stared at his reaction, secretly wondering.
After a long time, Tai Shuxiong said slowly: "Let her come in!"
Tao Lue immediately turned around and waved to the eunuch hiding behind the big pillar.
The eunuch quickly ran out against the wall of the palace. When he came out of the palace, he saw the princess still standing in the rain. He hurriedly ran down and waved the blocker to get out of the way. In his desperation, the rain slipped under his feet and he fell down with an "ouch!"
I almost rolled down the high steps.
Fortunately, the soldier standing next to him leaned over and gave him a hand, otherwise he would have been badly injured if he rolled down from such a height.
After standing up, he ran down without hesitation. The soldiers standing guard all the way on one side kept reaching out their hands carefully for fear that he would fall again. There was an eunuch who could go in and out of the court to talk, and who could talk to Tao Lue, the general manager at any time.
His status in the palace is not low.
But it is precisely because he has a high status and knows a lot about the affairs in the palace that he knows how guilty His Majesty is for this daughter. How can he not show his affection for the person the Emperor likes?
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way. His Majesty has decreed that the Seventh Princess should enter the palace!" The eunuch who ran down the steps waved his hands to the left and right, and drove away the defenders on the railing. Then he came to Taishu Huan'er, nodded and bowed:
"Seventh Princess, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace."
The defenders retreated to both sides. Uncle Huan'er took a deep breath again, stepped forward, and climbed the jade steps.
"Seventh Princess, please be careful, the steps are very slippery in the rain." The eunuch said protectively, and with a distressed look on his face, he stretched out his hand to support one of Taishu Huan'er's elbows, and lifted up his sleeve with the other hand to help her protect her from the wind and rain.
.
There was a dead silence in the main hall of the court, and you could hear a needle drop. Seeing Tai Shuxiong and Tao Lue staring outside the hall, they also turned back to look outside the hall, presumably someone was coming.
After a while, the two people stepped up and appeared in everyone's sight.
After climbing the jade steps and arriving under the eaves of the main hall, Taishu Huan'er waved his hand and pushed aside the eunuch who was supporting him.
The eunuch retreated in fear, but Tao Lue, who was standing in the hall, saw him shielding himself from the rain and helping him to serve him. He nodded secretly and felt that he had done a good job in front of His Majesty. He was a thoughtful and caring person. This grandson is worthy of his use!
Beside the Moon Gate at the edge of the square, Concubine Lan was watching from a distance. When she saw her daughter entering the palace, she was so nervous that she grabbed her chest and clothes...
When Uncle Huan'er crossed the threshold and entered the main hall, walking with watermarks every step of the way, all the officials saw clearly who this wet woman was.
The Seventh Princess is here? All the ministers, you look at me, I look at you, each one of them said nothing, looking sometimes at Tai Shuxiong, and sometimes at Tai Shu Huan'er, who was leaving watermarks step by step, many of them sighed in their hearts.
The appearance of Taishu Huan'er even made many courtiers feel ashamed. To a certain extent, Taishu Huan'er's sacrifice was also to allow these men to continue to stand in this court, or to stand better.
here.
The aloof Tai Shuxiong's face was expressionless, but he himself didn't know what was wrong with him. At this moment, his vision seemed to be very clear, and he seemed to be able to clearly see the water droplets sliding down his daughter's cheeks and dripping on her chin, and she was also getting thinner.
many.
The sight of his daughter walking sadly, all alone, like a wet drowned rat, made him cling to the armrests on both sides with his hands again. He was heartbroken and so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe!
He vaguely remembered that when his daughter was a child, she would lie in his arms and pull his beard, saying that she had a nightmare in which a bad nanny was scolding her.
He laughed loudly, hugged her and said, don't be afraid, as long as the lonely king is here, no one will hurt the lonely king's Huan'er!
Now he realized that he had broken his promise, and...
Stopping as he approached, Tai Shu Huan'er squatted down and saluted, "Daughter, meet your father!"
Tai Shuxiong's Adam's apple twitched, he swallowed, moistened his dry throat, and then said solemnly: "No courtesy!"
Unexpectedly, after he excused himself, Tai Shu Huan'er knelt down, gave an even bigger salute, and said loudly: "My daughter has been wronged, please redress her injustice!"
This was the first time she had trespassed into the court. She had been warned since she was a child that this place was not their place, but she came today.
She was still scared when her mother forced her to come here. She was also nervous and scared when she climbed the steps. But after she came in and saw this superior man, hatred suddenly surged in her heart. She was not afraid anymore, not at all.
, I have never been so awake, and my voice is loud and crisp!
Unjustly accused? Avenged? All the ministers looked at each other in confusion. Do they want to mention the Xipingguan incident?
Everyone deliberately avoided mentioning this matter in the court, and no one mentioned it. At this time, everyone became more and more quiet and did not dare to say a word.
Tai Shuxiong, who was sitting high on the table, was also scared. He turned his head back to his daughter and felt a little frightened. He was so forced that he didn't know how to answer the question.
He regretted a little, regretting that he should have been soft-hearted and let his daughter in, but in this situation, if his daughter said that she wanted to commit suicide, I'm afraid it was not a joke!
Tao Lue on the side was equally quiet, not even daring to take a breath, quietly observing Tai Shuxiong's expression and reaction.
A group of usually powerful men were all silenced by this weak woman's words. No one dared to say a word. Some of them retracted their hands into their sleeves and repeatedly picked at their fingers!
Some people secretly smiled bitterly, Your Majesty, okay, why did you let the princess run in? It made everyone embarrassed, you shouldn't have let her in!
Uncle Huan'er suddenly said loudly again: "My daughter has been wronged, please father to avenge her!"
Tai Shuxiong seemed to have just come to his senses at this time, and he was really forced to have no choice but to speak, "Get up and talk first."
Uncle Huan'er said loudly: "If my father doesn't listen to my daughter's statement of grievances, my daughter will not be able to afford it!"
A little anger surged in Taishu Xiong's heart, and he tried his best to restrain himself and said: "Speak!"
Taishu Huan'er: "My daughter heard rumors that her innocence was tainted by Chen Changgong, the former guard of Xiping Pass. This is just a rumor. There is absolutely no such thing. My daughter is innocent, and Chen Changgong, the former guard of Xiping Pass.
There is absolutely no compromise between us, my daughter is just here to boost morale and ask my father for his advice!"
When I said this, unbearable scenes flashed through my mind. My fingernails dug into the flesh of my palms, and I hated the man in the seat even more.
Tai Shuxiong was stunned subconsciously.
Are you here to defend yourself? The ministers looked at each other in shock and breathed a sigh of relief.
I pretended that I was going to accuse His Majesty of sacrificing his daughter. If that was really the case, it would be really embarrassing.
However, when everyone's eyes collided, everyone murmured in their hearts, everyone who has some information about this kind of thing knows the truth, how can it be explained?
When his daughter spoke before, Tai Shuxiong also thought that was the case. At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief and regained his imperial aura. He said loudly: "The daughter of the lonely king is innocent. She went to the front line to boost morale. The lonely king naturally
Clearly!"
He knew in his heart whether it was innocent or not, but what could he say? Could he say it was unclear?
Uncle Huan'er got up, stood up straight, turned around to face the ministers, and said loudly: "This princess is innocent, can you trust me, ministers?"
"The princess is naturally innocent!"
"Rumors cannot be trusted!"
"The princess is boosting morale and going to the front line with a clear conscience!"
A group of ministers finally spoke up and defended their case one after another. Although none of them believed it in their hearts, they all had different opinions.
Uncle Huan'er looked around at the crowd and remembered what Jia Wuqun told their mother and daughter that day: In terms of duplicity, this place is the most prosperous in the world!
Sure enough, she saw it today and found that no one dared to tell the truth!
Tai Shuxiong, who was aloof, stared at his daughter's back that was wet by the rain. He didn't seem to recognize his daughter today. She seemed completely different from before. She actually scolded the court and made all the officials bow their heads!
Uncle Huan'er suddenly turned around resolutely, faced him sitting in the seat, and said with piercing eyes: "Father, if someone slanders my daughter's innocence again, what should I do?"
Tai Shuxiong said in a deep voice: "If you find one, the Solitary King will kill him. If you slander him wantonly, the Solitary King will kill him among the nine tribes!"
