Chapter 61 Born to be an emperor, the first lesson he learned was to hide his thoughts
Xi Bi felt that she was particularly proud of him. The Emperor was really considerate and always thought of her. She looked at Luo Changan arrogantly, as if looking at a dying ant, and then deliberately suppressed Aunt Mei: "Aunt Mei,
You just said that a third party such as the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Zongren Mansion can search the body. Now, do you accept the search by the emperor himself?"
Aunt Mei bowed and said, "I accept it naturally."
Haiyin then walked over and said to the women who were holding Luo Changan, "You all get up."
The hands of the women were loosened, and the restraints on Luo Changan's body were loosened. Her body was pushed forward and her white wrist was exposed. Five slender fingers were resting on Di Qianao's long body.
On top of boots.
Di Qianao's hand slowly tightened, and an impulse surged from his organs. He really wanted to hold Luo Changan in his arms. She looked so helpless, she looked so in need of him, and he couldn't protect her even if he wanted to.
To protect her, his blatant approach would be a devastating disaster for her, and he would only bring misfortune to her.
"Search carefully for the hand-woven basket and the gaps in the bamboo poles!" Di Qian'ao explained while sipping his tea.
Although Luo Changan was no longer being escorted by several wives and the pain in his body was reduced, Di Qianao was searching for words one by one and was full of distrust towards her.
He knew clearly that what she wanted was not money. He knew clearly that if what she wanted was money, how could she refuse the treasury he presented to her a few days ago!
Haiyin searched the bamboo basket and long bamboo pole carefully. How could he dare to search Luo Changan's body? Luo Changan's body only belonged to the emperor, and the emperor's concern and anger could be reflected from the exposed veins on the back of his hands.
Just now, the emperor saw the women's hands on Luo Changan's body, and his eyes were frightening.
Not long after, Haiyin made a discovery in the gap of the hook at the end of the bamboo pole. He clasped it for a while and pulled out a finely crafted gold hairpin from the gap.
Luo Changan's heart began to feel cold little by little, he felt lost, disappointed, and finally despaired.
Finally, he raised his head suddenly, met Di Qianao's indifferent eyes, and said word by word: "The emperor is aware that this slave did not steal."
Di Qianao asked: "Where is the evidence?"
Luo Changan was asked agitatedly. She was being framed. Where was the witness evidence?
Just now she wasn't worried that she would be wronged because she thought he was a wise king. However, if he was protecting his concubine like this, she felt that her innocence could not be guaranteed, so she became worried.
This is a kind of sadness and helplessness with nowhere to complain.
She had experienced this feeling once when her family was wiped out. The sin covered up by the overwhelming power gave people an inexplicable feeling of suffocation.
She never thought that the emperor was also such a person! And as long as he wanted to cover it up, there was nothing he couldn't cover up.
Xi Bi said sternly: "How dare you, the emperor didn't ask you, how can you answer without permission? Are you worthy of talking to the emperor directly?"
Di Qianao held his chin up and savored the doubts on Luo Changan's face, as well as the heartache in his heart. He could still sit still, just like in the past few years, he could still control it.
My own overflowing emotions.
Born to be an emperor, the first lesson he learned was to hide his worries and pretend that he didn't care.
Aunt Mei clenched her hands tightly and stood there calmly. She also understood that the emperor's intention was to make things bigger, but Chang'an didn't understand. This child looked too pitiful and helpless. She had no father or mother.
She is only an emperor.
In particular, she regards the Emperor as her hope, and it is this hope that has kept her alive until now, but now the Emperor seems to have pushed her into the abyss.
Xi Bin took the gold hairpin from Hai Yin and said with a stern voice: "This is my concubine's jewelry. Guess she took it away."
Aunt Gui immediately gave Luo Changan a hard look and said, "What else do you have to say! Didn't you make this bamboo pole yourself? You must have planned this when you made it, otherwise there would be a gap in the hook
How can it just fit this golden hairpin inside?"
Luo Changan smiled coldly and counterattacked almost desperately: "I've finished telling you, what do I have to say? But it's also very interesting. I didn't know that this golden hairpin was hidden in the hook of the bamboo pole. What exactly is it?
I have planned to make a hook that can fit your gold hairpin, or you should find a gold hairpin that can fit into the gap of this hook to frame me, I am afraid there is someone behind the scenes!"
Aunt Gui snorted, "You have to be tough on those dirty things. Xibi is the emperor's concubine. How could she frame you? Do you deserve it?"
With red eyes, Xibi said to Emperor Qianao aggrievedly: "Emperor, this is a gift from you. I have always regarded my concubine as more important than my life. Luo Changan actually stole this thing and asked the emperor to become my concubine.
It’s up to you.”
Di Qianao said slowly: "I will not cause innocent people to be wronged, and I am determined not to let anyone with evil intentions go. Xi Bi can rest assured about this."
Xibi then smiled shyly and timidly. Luo Changan was bound to die this time. Just now, I was merciful and only planned to cut off two of her fingers. Now I don't know what punishment the emperor will impose.
Aunt Mei really couldn't bear it. Even though she understood the emperor's difficulties, she couldn't bear to see Luo Changan being bullied like this. She quickly said: "Emperor, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. This girl Chang'an is usually good, and she is not the kind of unclean person.
.”
Di Qianao said coldly: "Everyone gets the stolen goods. There is no misunderstanding."
Luo Changan straightened his back. She was weak and weak, but she still held her head high and refused to give in. "The emperor is wise. I guarantee this with my life. I am determined not to steal it. Why don't I send this slave to Xiconcubine together?"
In the clan's mansion, you will be tortured and tortured, your nails will be pulled out, and your mouth will be burned with a soldering iron to force you to tell the truth. Naturally, the slave will still say that I didn't steal it. I won't dare to say anything that others can confess."
Di Qianao narrowed his eyes and met Luo Changan's eyes. How could he be willing to throw her into the clan's mansion? "I know Xibi's character better than you. I have my own decision about today's matter."
Luo Changan immediately stopped talking. If the kings of a country are all such people who don't know right from wrong, this is the tragedy of an era! In such a system where officials protect each other, how can her family feud be avenged?
"Hai Yin delivers the decree." Di Qian Ao ordered.
Haiyin hurried forward to listen to the order, "My servant is here."
Emperor Qianao ordered in a cold voice: "Today this slave stole Xibi's property and committed a heinous crime. Her boss, Mei Guan, was not strict in discipline and is guilty of consecutive crimes. The maid Xiaotao cannot escape responsibility and is an accomplice. Take the three of them,
Take them to the military camp and cut them all in half."
