Emperor Xuan Rui's face could no longer be described as ugly. One of his most trusted ministers and the other his most beloved concubine were actually challenging his authority right under his nose. How could he endure this?
"pass!"
Two guards with wounds on their faces and several people in night clothes were brought up. They knelt in the hall and shivered. Emperor Xuan Rui asked coldly, "Who are you?!"
One of the thin guards said, "I was originally a guard of the Guse Palace. I was ordered by the imperial concubine to kill Aunt Qingruo who was next to Princess Luo'an."
"That's nonsense!" came a somewhat frightened voice, and Concubine Xian was seen wearing a plain palace dress, hurriedly walked in, knelt in front of Emperor Xuanrui, and cried, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged."
As soon as Concubine Xian got the news that Wu Xun had entered the palace, she hurried over, but unexpectedly she met Tang Fengchu halfway and had to deal with him, so she arrived too late.
Wu Xun sneered and looked at the crying Concubine Xian, as if watching her performance like a clown.
"Your Majesty, you have to believe me." Concubine Xian looked at Emperor Xuan Rui with tears in her eyes, trying to make her believe in her. Emperor Xuan Rui asked coldly, "How do you explain it?"
"I don't know this person at all. He must have been instigated by others to frame me." Concubine Xian knelt down for a few steps and cried, "My father is devoted to the Xuanyue Dynasty and has no selfish motives at all.
What Qingyang County Chief said is definitely a false accusation!"
Wu Xun sneered and asked, "My Lady, you were not here just now, how do you know what I am talking about? Do you have ear wires here?!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Concubine Xian quickly looked at Emperor Xuanrui with an extremely ugly face, and she was even more panicked in her heart. As an emperor, the most annoying thing is having spies in the harem. Even if she didn't have one, it would be difficult to argue at this time.
"Since not, how did you know what I just said? Maybe you already knew what I was going to file a lawsuit against." Wu Xun asked.
"you!"
"Your Majesty, I don't have time to waste words with you here." Wu Xun said coldly, pointing at the men in black and saying, "Who instigated these men in black to visit Wanfang Garden at night, the Holy One will know after asking.
"
Concubine Xian's face changed. She didn't expect that several of them would be brought here after their martial arts were abolished. These people all have the marks of the Guan family on them. Even though they are loyal and dare not say it, the marks on their bodies are an indisputable fact.
Song Hanzhuo stepped forward and pulled open the collar of one of the men in black, revealing a mark with the word "Guan".
"Bastard!" Emperor Xuan Rui walked down in anger, kicked Concubine Xian away, and said angrily, "Here comes someone! Give me Guan Xu!" Concubine Xian fell down on the main hall, showing no trace of the concubine's manners.
No more, I could only look at Emperor Xuan Rui blankly, my mind in confusion.
As soon as Emperor Xuan Rui finished speaking, he heard the eunuch reporting outside the door, "The Queen Mother has arrived!"
Everyone hurriedly stood up to greet Queen Mother Dening, who was supported by Tang Fengchu and Song Changning and walked in. Their eyes faintly glanced at the noble concubine who was slumped on the ground.
""Mother, what's wrong with you?"" Emperor Xuanrui hurriedly greeted him, and Queen Mother Dening said, "The Ai family heard that Xun Yatou was going to file a complaint. The Ai family originally didn't intend to take care of this matter, but later they heard that
There is one thing that has something to do with the Ai family and Changning, so the Ai family has to come here."
Queen Mother Dening sat on a chair nearby and said, "A few days ago, the Aijia and Xun Yatou went to Shili Mountain in the suburbs to stay for two days. Unexpectedly, something happened on the first day. Two of Changning's personal assistants
palace
The girl was injured by a distant cousin who claimed to be the steward aunt of the Guan family. The steward aunt of the Guan family came to save Fangyuan to ask for someone, but not long after, the Prime Minister Guan and the Concubine Xian came and insisted on taking the girl away.
You can't do it alone. The Ai family saw that the man looked exactly like Guan Haibao, and since he had committed a crime, they naturally couldn't let them take him away. But who knew something happened in the middle of the night?" said Queen Mother Dening, pointing at him.
Several men in black clothes on the ground said, "These few people broke into Wanfang Garden in the middle of the night. If that girl Xun'er hadn't been more thoughtful, I'm afraid the old bones of the Ai family would have stayed in Wanfang Garden."
"
"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely investigate thoroughly!"
"Father, there are still sons and daughters!" Song Changning lifted her skirt and knelt in front of Emperor Xuanrui, with a look of grievance in her big eyes, "You must make the decision for Han Wen Hanzhang, and you must make the decision for the sons and ministers." Xuan Rui
The emperor had always doted on Song Changning, and the most embarrassing thing was for his only daughter to be wronged.
"Get up quickly, my father will definitely make the decision for you!" Emperor Xuanrui personally helped Song Changning up and looked at Concubine Xian with a cold look. At this time, a person was brought into the hall. Everyone was shocked. Isn't this the same person as before?
Damn Guan Haibao.
"Sister!" As soon as Guan Haibao saw Concubine Xian slumped on the ground, he hurriedly walked over. The two siblings looked at each other with tears in their eyes. If it weren't for the crime of deceiving the emperor, I'm afraid everyone present would be moved by their deep brother-sister love.
"Your Majesty, please listen to my concubine's explanation." Concubine Xian cried and said, "I am just a brother. I really can't stand to watch him suffer in the Ideal Tower. I have no choice but to take this step."
"Qing Ruo has no enmity with you, why are you so cruel?!" Wu Xun asked through gritted teeth. Thinking of Qing Ruo's tragic death, her bones were filled with hatred and she wished she could crush the person in front of her to ashes!
"Because I was blinded by hatred and wanted to vent my anger, but I only ordered her to be taught a lesson. I didn't expect these two slaves to be so cowardly!"
"Xiangui Concubine, Xiangui Concubine!" Empress Dowager Dening said sadly, "As a noble concubine, you are so narrow-minded and cruel. You really let down the emperor's love for you."
Wang Fulu walked in in a panic and reported, "I am reporting to Your Majesty that Guan Xu disobeyed the order and injured the imperial guards and escaped!"
"What?!"
"Here comes someone!" Emperor Xuanrui said angrily, "The whole city is hunting Guan Xu. If anyone resists, he will be killed without mercy!"
After hearing this, Concubine Xian completely fell to the ground, her eyes blank.
"The virtuous concubine is narrow-minded and vicious. She betrayed my favor. She was deprived of her title and thrown into the cold palace. The second and fifth princes must be raised in Concubine De's palace, waiting to be dealt with. Guan Haibao faked his death in exchange for a new life. This is really bullying.
For your crime, you will be executed in three days!"
"Hahahaha!" Hearing what Emperor Xuan Rui said, Concubine Xian suddenly laughed and stood up. She suddenly pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed Wuxun without warning.
Before Wu Xun could react, he saw a tall figure standing in front of him, with a hairpin embedded in his flesh. Song Han opened Concubine Xian with a palm, stretched out his hand to cover her chest, and said that Concubine Xian was not very strong, otherwise it would be impossible.
It really pierced the heart!
"What are you still doing? Pull Aijia down!" Queen Mother Dening roared, "Go and ask for the imperial doctor!" Wu Xun hurriedly stepped forward to check, and saw blood staining his chest, and he frowned.
Said, "Don't move, let me take a look."
"It's okay, it's a small wound." Song Hanzhuo looked at Wu Xun with a smile in his eyes and said nonchalantly.
"Relax and take off your clothes!"
It was the first time that Wu Xun spoke to Song Hanzhuo so forcefully, with no concealed concern. Song Hanzhuo was stunned for a moment, looked at the people in the hall, coughed lightly and said, "Xun'er, this is still in the hall."
Only then did Wu Xun react. Seeing Empress Dowager Dening's narrow smile, he felt a little embarrassed. Emperor Xuan Rui asked with concern, "How is the injury?"
"The wound is not too deep, but it must be treated immediately, otherwise it will be extremely susceptible to infection." Wu Xun said with a slight expression on his face.
Emperor Xuan Rui asked Wu Xun to take Song Hanzhuo down to bandage the wound. Empress Dowager Dening smiled happily and watched the two people leave. Isn't her son very stupid? Knowing that the hero saved the beauty, will she use the bitter meat trick next?
.
"Actually, you don't have to stand in front of me." Wu Xun said while treating the wound carefully. Song Hanzhuo looked up at her and whispered, "Even if there is a slight possibility of hurting you, I don't want to let it happen.
.”
Wu Xun paused, then returned to normal, and said, "Don't get water on the wound, otherwise it will be extremely easy to get infected." After saying that, he tied a beautiful bow, packed up the medicine bottles on the table, and was about to turn around and leave, when Song Hanzhuo
Pull
He stopped her and pulled her into his arms, "Don't move, be careful of the wound." Wu Xun, who was really planning to struggle, heard this and leaned stiffly against Song Hanzhuo's arms, lest he touch his wound.
He whispered, "Let me go."
"Let me hold you for a while, just a little while." The deep voice was full of exhaustion. Wu Xun raised his eyes and took a look, only to see dense stubble growing on Song Hanzhuo's chin, and his eyes were black and blue.
I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Zi Ling has been staying up all night and busy with military affairs recently, and I felt very sad.
Wu Xun's body slowly became relaxed. Today she finally avenged Qing Ruo. Thinking that Qing Ruo's last life did not have a good ending, she couldn't help but feel sad, "Do you know?"
Song Hanzhuo listened quietly to Wu Xun's next sentence, "I had a dream, a very long dream. In the dream, I was very stupid and foolish. I mistrusted the villain and caused Qing Ruo to die tragically. Later
When I woke up from the dream, I found that it was just a dream. Qing Ruo just
Beside me, more than ten years have passed, and I have forgotten that dream, but now I realize that it was not a dream at all, but real. Qingruo is really gone, and there will be no Qingruo in this world anymore.
, I failed to protect her!"
"She won't blame you." Song Hanzhuo comforted softly. At this time, who can connect the gentle man in front of him with the arrogant and perverse Prince Zi Ling outside. The leaves of the willow tree outside the window have turned green.
A vibrant summer has arrived, and everything is moving in a good direction, isn't it? Wu Xun found a comfortable position in Song Hanzhuo's arms, accustomed yet unfamiliar, and fell asleep peacefully.
