Xiao Muting was still sitting at the original banquet seat, looking indifferent as if it had nothing to do with him. He was still holding Su Han's hand and playing with her fingers with interest.
Jing Danlei's face was still covered with a veil at this time, but her forehead and ears were unusually red, and even her eyes were reddish, and her eyes were confused and charming, and she was unsteady in her chair.
The wheezing sound was also very heavy.
Xia Liangxue, who was being escorted by the guards and kneeling on the ground, also had a red face, and his eyes were even redder, especially his greedy look in his eyes, which was always looking in the direction of Jing Danlei and breathing heavily.
.
The emperor frowned at Xia Liangxue's appearance, and he felt a little clearer in his heart. He scolded him: "What kind of behavior is this?"
Xia Yunqu now wants to slap Xia Liangxue to death. Where is this place and what is the occasion? This child is so insignificant, how could he do such a thing and harm the whole family.
The queen was still kneeling in front of the emperor, begging her: "Your Majesty, please listen to what's going on..."
The emperor glanced at her coldly, swallowed his throat again, suppressed the feeling of discomfort at this time, and raised his head to Li Kuo: "Say."
Li Kuo immediately replied: "Weichen is responsible for the security outside Xueqiong Pavilion. I saw Princess Baoshuo of Long'an Kingdom walking out of the pavilion accompanied by her servants. She said she wanted to get some fresh air, so Weichen arranged for them to stay not far from here.
In the courtyard of Zhu Cuihua Hall, I saw Mr. Xia chasing him after a while. Wei Chen stopped him, but he said that he was here to find Princess Baoshuo, so Wei Chen pointed out the direction for him..."
"How could you do this? Don't you know it's inappropriate?" The queen immediately scolded him, then turned to look at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, this is not Xueliang's fault. It was the direction pointed by Commander Li..."
"Shut up, I will make my own decision!" the emperor shouted coldly.
Then he raised his head to Li Kuo and said, "Keep talking!"
Li Kuo took another deep breath and said: "Only a moment after returning to the emperor, he heard the sound of exclamation coming from the Zhucui Courtyard. Wei Chen and others rushed there and saw Mr. Xia..."
"What's wrong with him..." the emperor asked again.
“Mr.
After a while, after breaking free several times, he rushed towards Princess Baoshuo, and Weichen also discovered that Princess Baoshuo was also rushing towards this side. In desperation, Weichen could only force the two of them away.
It was a little far away, but the way Wei Chen looked at Mr. Xia was a little strange..." After Li Kuo finished speaking, he lowered his head and said nothing.
The emperor swallowed hard again, picked up the cup on the table and was about to drink it, when he smelled that it was wine. When he reached out his hand again, Eunuch Yun handed over a cup of tea. After he drank it, he asked: "Mr. Liu, what did you just say?"
Say, Xia Liangxue was drugged?"
Doctor Liu immediately replied: "Replying to the emperor, it is indeed the case. That is why Mr. Xia had the abnormal behavior just mentioned by Commander Li. If I think about it, even if Mr. Xia fell in love with Princess Baoshuo of Long An Kingdom,
It is impossible for him to do this in this palace, it must not be his intention, but this medicine is too overbearing."
"Domineering?" The emperor's eyes darkened again.
After rolling his eyes slightly, he looked at Jing Danlei, who was sitting there a little unsteadily and might fall off the chair at any time, with her head hanging slightly.
"Princess Baoshuo, can you tell me what's going on?" The emperor asked in a gloomy voice.
"Deng, Deng disciple!" Jing Danlei stretched out her hand with difficulty, pointing at Xia Liangxue who was kneeling on the ground, and she was holding a pink handkerchief in her extended hand.
But when she moved, the fragrance became stronger again.
At the same time, people in the hall who smelled this smell began to feel a little uncomfortable.
Doctor Liu immediately took out a bag of mothballs from the medicine box and distributed them to everyone in the palace, asking them all to put them under their noses and smell them. This method really worked.
But when he sent it to Xiao Muting and his wife, he only took one look at it. After asking what it was, he shook his head: "I don't need it. I always keep this poison-clearing and refreshing thing with me.
Let’s leave it to others.”
After the emperor smelled the mothballs, he also felt strangely relieved, and his mind became much clearer. His expression became even colder, and he patted Long An: "Long An is also a polite country, but I didn't expect that,
To use such dirty methods, Princess Baoshuo, you have really opened my eyes. Are you so afraid of not being able to get married? Do you really think that you can stay in our Holy Qin Empire with this method?"
"Yes...no...this, this princess...yes, it's him...he..." Jing Danlei felt that her whole body was extremely hot at this time, her head was dizzy, and her breathing was even more unsteady.
Seeing this, the emperor waved to Dr. Liu. He immediately took the mothballs and asked her servants to help her smell them to relieve her abnormal condition at this time.
The queen also calmed down and immediately said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with Xueliang. He was also harmed by the princess of Long'an Kingdom. Please be clear to your Majesty and don't listen to her false accusations.
This woman came to the Holy Qin Dynasty with an impure purpose. She wanted to marry King Chen, but seeing that there was no hope, she also wanted to harm our academics. This woman has evil thoughts, please give me a clear warning from the emperor."
Xia Yunqu, who was kneeling below, was not a fool. Seeing that the queen said this, he immediately agreed: "Your Majesty is clear... No matter how stupid I am, I will never act so inappropriately at this time and in this situation."
It's a matter of decency, I hope the emperor will give me justice..."
"What the hell!" The emperor became even more angry, pointed at him and said loudly: "How many people are there in Xueqiong Pavilion today, who can run out like him? It is impossible to say that he has no such intention, even if he is killed
The person plotted the scheme because he acted inappropriately. If it weren’t for Commander Li who led them, who knows what terrible things would have happened. You asked me to give you justice, so who will give me justice and a good birthday banquet?
Let him mess it up like this, ah!"
Xia Yunqu still dared to answer the conversation, and then he lay his whole body on the ground, not even daring to breathe.
The Queen was the same, she knelt there and didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear that the Emperor would be angry and chop Xia Liangxue directly.
At this time, the precious concubine said softly: "Your Majesty, we really need to investigate this matter carefully. How did a dignified princess get such a filthy thing and bring it to such an occasion? Why?
Come on, it seems that Mr. Xia is just a scapegoat, so who is the target that Princess Long Anguo originally wanted to frame?"
After the emperor heard this, he immediately looked at Xiao Muting, who was still sitting there, looking bored. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes again.
"Prince Chen, are you feeling okay?" he asked.
Xiao Muting stood up, gave a salute and said: "My brother feels good. I did smell the fragrance used by Princess Baoshuo, but there is nothing wrong with it. This may also be due to my brother.
It’s caused by the medicine bag I always wear.”
The emperor really understood this time, and couldn't help snorting coldly again, and said to Li Kou, the minister of Honglu Temple: "Li Siqing, please immediately draw up a letter of credence, inform the leader of Long An Kingdom of this situation, and order Long Anguo and his envoys to come."
Five days later, I left the capital! And issued an order not to allow Princess Baoshuo of Long An Kingdom to enter the territory of the Holy Qin Empire again."
"I obey the order!" Li Kou immediately accepted the order.
Jing Danlei had regained consciousness at this time, but she knew that anything she said now would be fruitless and she had no chance.
"Xia Liangxue behaved inappropriately. Although he did not make a big mistake, it also damaged the reputation of the Holy Qin Dynasty. He is now stripped of all his honors and is not allowed to serve as an official in the court for life. Xia Yunqu was not strict in teaching his children. He was demoted one level and was appointed as Guanglu doctor.
." The emperor said coldly again.
"My lord! I obey the decree! Thank you for your grace, long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!" Xia Yunqu shouted.
Being able to save his own life and that of his son was already the greatest grace. He was very satisfied, extremely satisfied.
