The emperor was so angry that everyone inside and outside the pavilion knelt down.
"Your Majesty, calm down." Concubine Xu, the virtuous concubine, bowed her head and choked with sobs, "I am incompetent."
The three princes said that their minister was guilty, while the eunuchs and maids kowtowed and shivered.
The emperor looked at Chen Danzhu, and the girl also bowed her head and shouted that she was guilty. She knew in her heart whether she was really pleading guilty or false.
"Chen Danzhu, why don't you come quickly?" the emperor shouted.
Chen Danzhu raised his head: "Your Majesty, I really want to invite you, but I don't know it myself. Your Majesty asked me to come to this banquet. This lucky bag was given to me by the palace maid. Even I opened it.
It was forced by others to open it."
This time the girl didn't cry and felt aggrieved, her expression was just helpless.
"Your Majesty knows how hateful I am, and everyone else also knows that I didn't come into contact with anyone else during the banquet. In the imperial garden, I even found a place to hide by myself. If the empress hadn't sent someone to find me,
Daughter, I will not draw this lucky bag."
What Chen Danzhu said is true. The emperor personally arranged to keep an eye on Chen Danzhu when he came to the banquet and the grand banquet. In the Imperial Garden, several palace maids admitted that they did not see Chen Danzhu with everyone, and they testified that Chen Danzhu was interviewed
At that time, I was indeed sitting alone by the lake.
When the maids were talking, the emperor stared at them and could see that they were not lying. Everyone else reacted normally, except King Lu, who huddled back and looked guilty - inexplicable!
Anyway, King Lu has always been like this. The emperor is too lazy to pay attention and looks away from Chen Danzhu. It is really impossible for Chen Danzhu to get involved in the lucky bag, that is——
"Concubine Xian, how did you arrange it?"
Concubine Xian knew that this scene would happen, although it was very different from what she expected.
"It was my concubine who arranged for someone to give the lucky bag to Miss Danzhu." She looked helpless, "because I was worried that Miss Danzhu would catch the lucky bag that she shouldn't catch, but I really didn't know that this lucky bag should not be caught, and I didn't know what was inside.
It’s like this, I’ve been here all this time. When Eunuch Zhong brought me the lucky bag and box, I just looked at it and didn’t touch it at all.”
Eunuch Jinzhong nodded and testified.
Moreover, Concubine Xian had no reason to cause trouble with Chen Danzhu. It would not be a good thing for Chen Danzhu to draw a Buddhist verse with her son in it. Her son had no intention of getting involved with Chen Danzhu.
The emperor's eyes moved away from Concubine Xian and fell on Concubine Xu.
"Your Majesty." Without waiting for the emperor to ask, Concubine Xu spoke first and kowtowed heavily, "I have something to hide from your majesty."
Concubine Xu? Concubine Xian looked a little surprised. Could it be her?
The emperor said coldly with an expressionless face: "Say."
Concubine Xu raised her hand to wipe away her tears: "I know that Miss Danzhu and Xiurong have a close relationship, but they have never met each other. In order to make up for it and appease Miss Danzhu, I secretly gave Miss Danzhu two million yuan."
Two million strings!
Concubine Xian, King Yan, looked shocked, and King Lu, who had shrunk his head, also raised his head, his expression even uglier. Concubine Xu, in order to make up for it and appease Miss Danzhu, gave her in private. No one believed this. She should listen to it the other way around.
It was Miss Danzhu who asked for two million dollars before agreeing to miss Chu Xiurong.
In order not to be entangled by Chen Danzhu, Concubine Xu really spent a lot of money.
The third brother has already paid, and the second brother and Concubine Xian will definitely pay. What should he do? Will the father pay for him, or will he give it to Chen Danzhu in the end to silence everyone?
King Lu was thinking wildly and looked at the emperor blankly.
The emperor was shocked but thought it was nothing strange. It was not surprising that Chen Danzhu could do such a thing: "Chen Danzhu! You really dare to ask for it!"
Chen Danzhu said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, in fact, I am not here for money. If I don't want it, Concubine Xu will not be relieved. I just want to appease a mother's heart."
The emperor shouted, not knowing what to deal with first. Chen Danzhu attended a banquet and caused so many troubles!
"So Your Majesty," Concubine Xu continued hurriedly, "I spent so much money just to prevent Miss Danzhu from getting involved with Xiu Rong."
Of course, it is impossible to give Chen Danzhu a lucky bag with five Buddhist verses, and her son is also among them.
"Your Majesty, this matter really has nothing to do with us." Xian Fei said sadly, "Let's ask why there is a lucky bag with five Buddhist verses."
During the previous discussion, there was no mention that there would be such a lucky bag. If this situation arises, the only option is to ask the person in charge of it, the National Master. Concubine Xian glanced at Chen Danzhu when she said this.
"Miss Danzhu said before that she made many offerings at Tingyun Temple."
With so many offerings, she might have a close relationship with the Imperial Master. Concubine Xu could spend 2 million guan to buy Chen Danzhu and let her son go. Why couldn’t Chen Danzhu spend 4 million guan to buy the Imperial Master and sell out all the princes?
give her.
Of course the emperor thought of it, but is such a national advisor still a national advisor? He's crazy.
In fact, you don’t need to listen to Chen Danzhu’s declaration of how much incense he has offered. Others don’t know, the emperor knows best. Chen Danzhu has an unusual relationship with Master Huizhi. It was Chen Danzhu who introduced him to Tingyun Temple in the first place, which led to the move of the capital.
This new capital also has a royal temple and a national teacher.
He knew that Master Huizhi would treat Chen Danzhu differently, so when the Queen wanted to ban Chen Danzhu, he directly asked Chen Danzhu to go to Tingyun Temple.
However, he did not believe that the National Preceptor would treat Chen Danzhu differently and disobey him as the emperor.
It was just indulgence in eating, drinking and having fun, and it was not worth risking one's life. However, the emperor's face was cold. If the Imperial Master really wanted to risk one's life, then he would be allowed to do so.
"Have you sent someone?" the emperor asked.
Eunuch Jinzhong whispered: "Xuankong has been locked up, and someone has sent for the imperial master."
There was a buzz in the hall, everyone was talking about this matter, and no one noticed that the prince was missing.
The prince did not go to the imperial garden, but stood outside the palace without knowing what to think.
"Your Highness." Fu Qing whispered, "Xuankong was taken away by the Imperial Guards, and the people who went to invite the Imperial Advisor also left the palace. Your Highness, do you want to go to the Imperial Garden to meet Your Majesty?"
The prince looked at him: "What are you going to do?"
The Imperial Preceptor is here, and he should tell you about the prince. Do you want to go to His Majesty first to deal with it?
The prince smiled: "What's the matter with Gu? Gu just asked for a lucky bag. I don't know why there are two or even three. After all, it was the national master who said he would give one to the sixth prince. What does it have to do with Gu?"
At that time, what he said to the Imperial Preceptor was very cautious, and he did not indicate that he was targeting Chen Danzhu. Therefore, there was no evidence that the matter was related to the Crown Prince. Fuqing naturally knew about it. However, he was a man of two minds. If the Imperial Preceptor then made random remarks, I would be afraid.
The emperor will still be suspicious of the prince——
"Don't worry." The prince said calmly, "Compared to Gu, your majesty is more suspicious of the national teacher who did such a thing."
The emperor is the most suspicious. When the time comes, the prince will surely be framed by the imperial master, and the emperor will just cut off the imperial master's head. As for the emperor's suspicion of the prince, as long as the person is alive, it can always be resolved. Fu Qing understands, and grits his teeth with hatred.
: "This bald thief actually dares to plot against His Highness."
And it’s because of Chen Danzhu. Are you crazy? Don’t you want to live? Does he know who he is against?
"Since the Imperial Master no longer wants to live, I will give him a ride when the time comes." The prince said coldly. Although he looked calm on the surface, he could not hide the hatred in his eyes.
And Chen Danzhu, who colluded with the Imperial Master, was also doomed.
It's a pity that King Qi escaped this time.
"It can't be considered as an escape." Fu Qing laughed in a low voice, "When His Majesty is questioned, King Qi will definitely still sacrifice his life for Chen Danzhu."
The prince sighed: "Isn't Concubine Xu's two million dollars in vain?"
Fuqing started laughing.
While the two were laughing, a eunuch hurried over.
"Your Highness." He stepped forward and whispered, "The Sixth Prince has passed."
The prince frowned, "Sixth prince? What was he doing there?"
The Sixth Prince arrived on a shoulder cart, which was carried to the pavilion and placed in front of the emperor.
"What are you here for?" the emperor asked with a cold face. In fact, he knew why he came, Chen Danzhu!
Okay, Chu Yurong can find out the news even if he is locked up in the palace.
Chu Yurong was supported by two eunuchs and walked down. He looked at the people who were kneeling and didn't seem surprised.
"Everyone is so happy." He said with a smile, looking at the emperor again, "Father, I heard that I also have a lucky bag, and Miss Danzhu drew all the Buddhist verses for the five of us, so am I also considered a match made in heaven?
A member?”
Are you thinking about this when you come here? Everyone present raised their heads and looked at this strange yet familiar sixth prince in astonishment. Is his brain damaged due to illness, or is he stupid?
Where have you seen everyone happy?
The emperor was not surprised, he looked at Chu Yurong with a surprised expression.
"It turns out it's you." He said.
Yes, Chen Danzhu is not the only nuisance in this imperial city today, he is the biggest nuisance.
Chu Yurong, the emperor's face was gloomy and cold. It turns out that my imperial city and my palace cannot contain you.
