Qin Yun woke up in Concubine Xiao Shu's soft arms. The fragrance was so refreshing that he couldn't help but hug Concubine Xiao Shu's waist greedily.
He squinted his eyes, enjoying the tranquility and wanting to toss Concubine Xiao Shu.
Eunuch Xi ran into the Yangxin Hall and shouted outside the door: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not well! Something bad is happening!"
His voice was extremely panicked, with a hint of ambiguity.
When Qin Yun heard the sound, he straightened up!
"What's wrong?"
Qin Yun sat up with his upper body naked and frowned, feeling that something big had happened in his mind.
At this time, if it wasn't a big deal, even if I gave Eunuch Xi a hundred courages, he wouldn't dare to bother me.
"Your Majesty, this... General Xiao..."
Grandpa Xi was stammering and hesitated to speak, as if it was not convenient for him to speak.
When Qin Yun heard the word Xiao Jian, he frowned, put on a dragon robe casually, rushed out and looked at Xi Gonggong and said: "What's going on? Tell me quickly?"
Eunuch Xi had a worried look on his face, got up and whispered something in Qin Yun's ear.
Suddenly, Qin Yun's eyes widened. Like a bolt of lightning, it hit him and he almost fell!
"Go and ask Tao Yang to lead the troops to seal the Lotus Garden for me immediately. I will come immediately!"
Grandpa Xi led the people away in a panic, unable to walk very well.
Qin Yun went back to get dressed. Concubine Xiao Shu woke up. Seeing that his face was extremely ugly, she asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Qin Yun looked at her, frowning and remaining silent.
Finally, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I have official business to deal with. Xiang'er, you can use your breakfast yourself."
As he said this, he was so anxious that he took the initiative to put on his clothes and boots.
Seeing his expression, Concubine Xiao Shu knew that something must be wrong, but she couldn't ask further questions, so she could only get up immediately and kneel on the ground to put on Qin Yun's shoes and clothes.
Lotus Garden!
It is a corner of the harem and is the courtyard of Ma Jieyu, the late emperor's concubine.
When Qin Yun arrived here, the courtyard had been sealed off by the Imperial Army and was impenetrable.
Qin Yun looked extremely ugly and walked in.
Opening the door, I saw a man and a woman in the room.
The man was Xiao Jian. He was naked and had no clothes on. His armor was thrown all over the floor.
He was awake now, with a look of shame and paleness on his tough face.
On the soft bed was a rather good-looking woman in her thirties, the late emperor's concubine, Ma Jieyu.
Her palace skirt was torn to the ground, her hair was messy, she was holding the quilt tightly in her hands, she was very frightened, and her shoulders that were accidentally exposed were bruised.
When she saw Qin Yun coming, her eyes were panicked.
Tears fell from her pretty face. She rushed down and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me. This man broke into the Lotus Garden at night and took advantage of the fact that he was drunk and was too frivolous for me. I tried to resist, but he beat me. Wuwu..."
"I am the late emperor's concubine, how can I suffer such a great humiliation..."
Hearing this, the father-in-law and the guards all around closed their ears and looked outside, not wanting to go deep.
Incidents like this can be called a royal scandal!
Hearing Ma Jieyu's words, Qin Yun's ears buzzed, and his heart fell to the bottom. This kind of thing has always been a taboo. Once it happens, there is no other way except killing them all.
Already.
Even if Qin Yun wanted to protect him, it was impossible for the royal family and nobles to tolerate Xiao Jian!
Qin Yun clenched his fingers together, and anger gradually appeared on his face. He had put so much effort into promoting Xiao Jian, but something like this happened to him.
He gritted his teeth and said to Xiao Jian, "Tell me, what's going on?!"
Bang!
Xiao Jian put on his pants and knelt down in front of Qin Yun with a thump.
His eyes dimmed and he lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is my capital crime. Please grant me death. This matter has nothing to do with the Xiao family or Concubine Shu. Please..."
"I'm going to fuck you!"
Qin Yun's veins were exposed, he grabbed his neck with one hand, and roared: "Give you death? Xiao Jian, you bitch, I made you the mighty marshal, is this how you repay me?"
Xiao Jian's face was even more ashamed and he didn't say a word.
"Bang!"
Seeing his acquiescence, Qin Yun became even more angry and kicked him over!
Looking at the mess and the two naked people, he roared at the top of his lungs again.
"Take this bastard Xiao Jian to the prison!"
"No one is allowed to enter or leave the Lotus Garden!"
"I arrested all the guards who were on duty last night, as well as the eunuchs who escorted Xiao Jian out of the palace!"
"..."
Qin Yun used thunderous means to arrest everyone involved in the incident. If he wanted to avoid the situation from getting bigger, it was best to cover up the scandal and deal with it lightly.
But good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.
How could these things be concealed from those people in the court who had great eyes and hands?
Before the morning court, Xiao Jian stayed in the harem at night, and the story of his fornication with the late emperor's concubines spread out.
In response to this, Qin Yun was furious. Before going to court, he took Tao Yang and cursed: "Didn't I tell you to block the news? What the hell are you doing to eat!"
"And what did that bitch Chang Hong do? Believe it or not, I will punish all nine of your tribes!!"
Tao Yang was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost stopped crying.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I was negligent. I have already led people to arrest all the servants in Hehuayuan. The patrolling Forbidden Army and Mr. Chang are also dealing with it and have given the order to keep silent."
"But...I don't know why the news spread."
Qin Yun's expression went from angry to gloomy, and he stood there without speaking for a long time.
He calmed down and realized that something was strange!
Just like the previous two assassinations and rebellions, it seemed like someone was secretly promoting it!
Not to mention that Xiao Jian was too loyal to do such ridiculous things. The mere spread of the news was outrageous. Anyone who dared to spread the royal scandal would be punished by beheading!
The only possibility is that someone deliberately wants to make things bigger.
"Go and investigate carefully for me to find out who the news was leaked from!"
"Also, torture the relevant personnel yesterday to see if someone framed Xiao Jian. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? This happened just after the class teacher returned to the court."
"Before I go to court, I must know the whole story. If I don't do it, Tao Yang, you and Chang Hong will stop staying in the palace!"
"snort!"
Qin Yun snorted coldly and left angrily, going to the Tai Chi Hall.
Tao Yang trembled all over, fell to his knees, and said yes repeatedly.
Tai Chi Hall.
It was such a quarrel!
Many imperial censors, remonstrators, and civil servants gathered together to discuss. Filled with indignation, they loudly cursed Xiao Jian for being a reckless bitch who dared to do such a thing even though he was eating from the royal family.
Qin Yun sat on the dragon chair, and it became quieter below.
The meeting begins.
Among the ministers, an old man stood up. He had a pale beard and a face full of hatred.
He is Wei Zheng, a veteran of three dynasties and the most important minister of Great Xia! Three generations of emperors have been scolded by him, but he is still alive and well. The late emperor once said that Wei Zheng is like a mirror!
"Your Majesty, there is a royal scandal circulating inside and outside the palace today. May I ask Your Majesty if it is true?"
"If it is true, Xiao Jian and Ma Jieyu should be executed immediately to establish the prestige of the late emperor."
"If it is false, the rumor mongers should be severely punished and the nine tribes should be killed to serve as a warning to others!"
What he said was reasonable and convincing, and coupled with his important position, it gave Qin Yun a headache. This old guy was the easiest to be used as a gunman.
