Long Xiao wipes Qingfeng

Chapter 19 Mid-Autumn Banquet, Chicken Feather 1

Xiao Jiu asked the palace attendant to wait a while, and went to change his clothes. When he came out, he saw that Zhong Shuo had packed up and was waiting for him.

Zhong Shuo said: "The situation is unknown, I will go with Your Highness."

How could Xiao Jiu not know what's going on in the palace, he thought about it and said, "Alright, let's go."

The people in the palace naturally drove fast, and because of Emperor Longde's urgent order, they entered the palace in a short while.

The two of them followed the palace guards leading the way all the way to Zichen Hall, and as soon as they entered the main hall, they heard noisy voices.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival royal banquet, the royal family and relatives were all present, and all of them were sitting upright. The Queen Mother was sitting on the phoenix seat, Emperor Longde had an angry look on his face, and Concubine Shen was crying and sitting aside, her hair was even a little messy.

When Emperor Longde saw Xiao Jiu coming in, he immediately said, "Yongmu, Zhuang Jingyan said that you framed her, can you admit it?"

Xiao Jiu glanced at Zhuang Jing who was kneeling at his feet with bound hands and feet, and calmly said: "Father, why don't you tell Yong Mu what happened first, and then it won't be too late to wrong Yong Mu."

"Yong Mu!"

Xiao Jiu still said: "I also ask Father to tell what happened."

At this moment Zhuang Jing raised her head to look at him, Xiao Jiu looked down at her, she looked away guiltily, but saw Zhong Shuo beside him.

Zhuang Jing's eyes widened instantly, her face full of despair.

Xiao Jiu narrowed his eyes, only to hear Emperor Longde casually pointing at a court lady and saying, "You, go and tell Emperor Yongmu!"

The maid hurriedly went to Xiao Jiu's side and whispered something in his ear.

It turned out that tonight in the Zichen Palace, a young maid heard abnormal noises when she passed through the plum forest, so she bravely walked a few steps forward, but saw a woman hugging a man's back and talking about something, the maid was too young to see After such a situation, Dang even was frightened, and the exclamation attracted the guards patrolling nearby. The sky was getting dark and he couldn't see anything clearly. The guards thought it was a female official from some palace who was having a private meeting with a foreign man, so they directly tied up the guard. Two people, and then went to report to the emperor.

It's fine if it's really a female official, but when I brought her to a bright place, I found out that it was Emperor Zhuang Jing.

This is really a joke in the world, Di Ji was caught having a private meeting with others, it was unheard of, the chief guard didn't notice it for a while, and this matter spread to Emperor Longde's ears layer by layer.

Although Emperor Longde was frightened and angry, he still remembered the face of the royal family, and quickly and secretly executed the palace servants who saw the incident, but he didn't know which one had the big mouth, slipped into the hall and shouted, all the clan members present tonight knew about it The whole royal family was ashamed, and Emperor Longde had no choice but to tie Zhuang Jing and the man to the main hall for interrogation. He also sealed off the Zichen Hall, so he could only enter it.

When Zhuang Jing was tied up, she kept yelling Zhong Shuo's name. After seeing the man's face clearly, she seemed to be frightened, and she was tied up honestly.

The man's identity was also found out, he was an eunuch in Concubine Liu's palace, and while there was no one in the palace tonight, he changed his clothes and slipped out to have a private meeting with Emperor Ji, now, it's useless for Concubine Shen to cry and beg Emperor Longde wanted to kill Zhuang Jing and the eunuch because of embarrassment for a while, but Zhuang Jing shouted that it was Xiao Jiu who framed her, and that's why Xuan Xiao Jiu entered the palace.

After the maid made her confession and retreated, Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "So the emperor is in such a hurry to ask his son to take the blame?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Longde choked his breath in his chest, and was about to get angry again, but was stopped by the Queen Mother.

Although the Empress Dowager has ignored the affairs of the harem for many years, after all, she has been a queen for many years, and she handles such matters most handily. I watched the whole episode in the palace tonight, and I understand it in my heart.

The Empress Dowager first asked someone to help Concubine Shen Gui down, and then said to Xiao Jiu: "Yong Mu, don't be mad at your father, I will break you and Zhuang Jing first."

Only then did Xiao Jiu refrain from her arrogance and asked Zhuang Jing who was kneeling: "Bengong is sick tonight, and I am watching the moon at her husband's house. I don't know how the imperial sister concluded that I was framed by you? Let's say it and judge one or two with your clansmen? "

Zhuang Jing was trembling on the spot, she couldn't tell who she had an appointment with, if she said so, Yong Mu would definitely not let her go, but if she just admitted her adultery with the eunuch, she would definitely die today, until now In such a situation, Concubine Shen Gui could not save her.

Zhuang Jing gritted her teeth, and said simply: "It's Yong Mu, who invited Erchen to Meilin in the name of Zhong Shuo, and framed Erchen!"

As soon as this remark came out, the clan members were in an uproar, and Emperor Longde said, "Why did you invite you in the name of Zhong Shuo?"

Zhuang Jing said: "Father, forgive me! Zhuang Jing has moved her thoughts on the son-in-law, Zhuang Jing is guilty! But Miss Huang shouldn't use Zhuang Jing's thoughts to frame my son-in-law like this!"

Emperor Longde said: "Yongmu, is there such a thing?"

Xiao Jiu casually said: "My sister is good, but let me tell you, when did I know your thoughts and who did I know? Why did I want to frame you like this? It's just that I can't see you Admiration for the son-in-law? You, an imperial concubine, disregard the rules and decency, and talk about every thought, but you still have a bit of dignity?"

The matter has come to this point, Zhuang Jing said firmly: "Sister Huang must have her own way, and how does Huang Jie know Zhuang Jing in her heart, if it is not that Huang Jie can't tolerate Zhuang Jing today, Zhuang Jing would not have said it out !"

Xiao Jiu said: "The imperial sister has a good plan, you have an affair with the eunuch, but you come to drag me into the water?"

Zhuang Jing was about to speak again, but someone from His Highness came to say that the eunuch could not stand the torture and had already been recruited.

Emperor Longde waved his hand to bring someone up, and after a while a man covered in blood was dragged up and thrown beside Zhuang Jing.

It was really unexpected that such a good Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet had evolved to such a state. The courageous clan members craned their necks to watch, for fear of missing a sentence, while the timid ones lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Emperor Longde looked at the lump of blood and said: "What do you know, let's talk about it in detail, if you make half a lie, you will be executed immediately."

The eunuch tremblingly said: "Back, back to Your Majesty, slave, this slave was originally from Concubine Liu's palace. By chance, I met Emperor Zhuang Jing. The emperor treated my slave very well. I once promised my slave that if one day I go out of the palace to build a mansion." , must ask the slave to do it, to be the head of the face, "

"Today, this servant was serving in Concubine Liu's palace, but someone suddenly sent a message asking this servant to meet Emperor Ji Zhuang Jing at the Merlin of Zichen Hall, and this servant went, Your Majesty! Everything this servant said is true, please forgive me!"

After he finished speaking, Zhuang Jing screamed, "You are lying! You are lying! Yongmu, you ordered him to slander me! You will die!"

Zhong Shuo said to her, "Your Highness, please speak carefully."

Zhuang Jing pointed at him and cursed: "Zhong Shuo! What's wrong with me! I'm devoted to you, yet you are helping that bitch Yongmu to harm me!"

Zhong Shuo still said the same thing, "Your Highness, be careful with your words."

Zhuang Jing roared: "I am affectionate every word, are you blind?!"

Xiao Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? I don't know how the imperial sister is 'deeply affectionate'? But what did the imperial sister write to the son-in-law?"

Zhuang Jing missed a word, and hastened to make up for it: "That's just now, I haven't written anything."

Xiao Jiu said: "In this case, father, son..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhong Shuo knelt down, took out a letter from his sleeve, and said to Emperor Longde: "Your Majesty, please take a look at this thing!"

Emperor Longde was presented for a look, his face was instantly livid, and then passed to the Empress Dowager, who also looked disgusted.

The Queen Mother slowed down and said: "Let the Ai family decide this matter, the emperor, please sit down."

The Empress Dowager stood up, "Here is Emperor Zhuang Jing, Ji Xiao Yu, who has fornicated eunuchs, framed brothers and feet, and has lost virtue. He will be fined forty times with a cane and deprived of the imperial concubine's honor. From now on, she will be placed under house arrest in Guanju Pavilion and never come out!"

Zhuang Jing froze for a moment, and struggled hard, "Why do you treat me like this! I am not wrong! I am not wrong!"

Emperor Longde was furious, picked up the letter and threw it at Zhuang Jing's face, "There are all witnesses and evidences, do you dare to say that you are right?!" His most beloved daughter did such a nasty thing, How embarrassing to call him!

The letter fell to the ground, Zhuang Jing grabbed it and saw that it was her own handwriting!

The queen mother asked: "Xiao Yu, can you plead guilty?"

Zhuang Jing can't help but deny it, if she doesn't recognize it, this letter falls in the eyes of others, it means she has a dissolute nature, if she fails to seduce the son-in-law, she will call the eunuch to play with her, if she admits it, she will only have an affair with the eunuch Keep a little reputation, and it will be released one day.

Zhuang Jing collapsed to the ground and was taken down by the guards.

This time, the future is ruined.

The Empress Dowager said: "Emperor, Ai's family is exhausted. You can handle the rest. Ai's family will go back to the palace first. Yongmu, you and your son-in-law should leave the palace earlier."

It is needless to mention that everyone sent off the Queen Mother respectfully.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, they returned to Xie Yuxuan. They walked quietly and returned quietly, without disturbing the main courtyard.

When Xiao Jiu came out of the shower, seeing that Zhong Shuo had already dismissed Xi Wen, he secretly thought something was wrong.

Sure enough, Zhong Shuo was sitting calmly under the lamp, wiping his sword.

Xiao Jiu tremblingly said: "Beining should rest earlier, what kind of sword will he be wiping at night."

Zhong Shuo said: "You mustn't wipe your sword at night, so your Highness can act alone without telling me?"

Xiao Jiu approached him, took the sword from his hand, closed the scabbard, and said helplessly: "I thought it was a trivial matter, and I'll just handle it myself. You are finally on vacation, so I won't tell you." .”

Zhong Shuo said: "If I don't take out that letter, will His Highness continue to pester you for a long time?"

Xiao Jiu put Bai Pi aside, and said: "I thought, it's better not to get involved with you, I don't want Zhuang Jing to be like a mad dog, who will bite people as soon as she catches them, and still get involved with you."

Zhong Shuo said, "Xiangyuan, when Your Majesty Zhuang Jing insulted you, I really wanted to kill you."

This was the first time Zhong Shuo called him by his baby name.

It was rare for Xiao Jiu to calm down: "It's nothing, it's very common for Zhuang Jing and I to insult each other, and I always have the upper hand on weekdays."

"But she absolutely shouldn't humiliate you in front of your clan." Zhong Shuo looked away from him.

Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "Those clansmen who control me are very clear about what I look like, let Zhuang Jing say a few words."

Zhong Shuo said sullenly, "Your Highness is very good, but they don't know it."

Xiao Jiu said: "Okay, you just need to know how good I am, don't let others know, and I will tell you if I have anything in the future."

Only then did Zhong Shuo feel relieved, secretly decided that he must stare at him more in the future, and realized that the two were too close, so he sat back and said, "Yes, Your Highness, monarchs and ministers should be like this."

King and minister...

Xiao Jiu wants to be his lord, but the lord of a husband is not the lord of his ministers.

Zhong Shuo explained again: "I was in the cubicle of the study this morning. You and Xiwen didn't find me, so I heard something. I also took the letter when you left."

When Xiao Jiu left the study, he slipped the letter into a book.

Xiao Jiu really didn't notice the compartment, he was careless for a moment.

I lamented that my vigilance has dropped a lot since I arrived at Zhong's house. Sure enough, beauty makes people lazy, and the ancients were sincere.

Xiao Jiu said: "Not next time." Do it better next time.

Zhong Shuo didn't know what he was thinking, and thought he was promising not to lie to him in the future.
