Suddenly Chu Youqi turned around and looked at Jiang Yunxu: "Feng Guiren must have been greatly frightened. Please follow me closely in a moment!"
"become!"
She followed Chu Youqi obediently, wondering if Chu Youqi would regret agreeing to her so happily if she knew what happened.
A group of people did not enter the Yuhe Palace and were kicked back halfway. No one knew what happened.
Everyone is guessing.
The emperor's face looked so ugly just now, something must have happened.
Amid everyone's speculation, the Lingzhou Emperor returned with a livid face and sat on the dragon chair. His sharp eyes searched the crowd, only staying on Jiang Yunxu for a moment and then moved away.
"Has anyone been to Jade Harmony Palace just now?" the chief chamberlain suddenly asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
Jiang Yunxu never expected that the first person to report her would be Jiang Yan'er. Jiang Yan'er rushed forward and pointed at her and said: "Back to the emperor, an hour ago the former minister saw with her own eyes the young palace maid inviting Princess Chen to leave.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's attention was focused on Jiang Yunxu.
Chu Youqi frowned, no matter how jealous he was in the Three Princes' Mansion, it was all internal grudges in the Three Princes' Mansion.
But now we are in the palace, and the concubine is reporting on the concubine. What is this?
"Yan'er, don't talk nonsense!" Chu Youqi glanced at Jiang Yan'er, implying a warning.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yaner was eager for revenge, and Chu Youqi protected Jiang Yunxu, which aroused her jealousy.
"Let her speak!" Emperor Lingzhou said.
Jiang Yan'er ignored Chu Youqi's eyes and continued: "I saw Princess Chen going northwest with my own eyes, and she came back not long ago."
Before Jiang Yunxu could speak, Chu Youqi immediately stepped forward to defend him: "Father, Princess Chen has always followed my son and never left even half a step away."
"Nonsense!" Jiang Yan'er was a little angry. This person must be crazy. Why would he talk about an ugly person?
Chu Youqi scolded her coldly: "I'm not blind, so how can I not know where the princess has gone? Yan'er, the princess has been tolerant enough to you. Please stop provoking and slandering the princess again and again."
"
Listening to Chu Youqi belittling herself in public, Jiang Yaner couldn't help but shed tears. Looking at the ridicule coming from all around, she wanted to bury her head in the ground.
Why do you do this to yourself?
Well, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.
Jiang Yaner raised her head again and asked in turn: "Your Majesty, this is in front of the Emperor. If you lie, it will be the crime of deceiving the Emperor!"
"You!" Chu Youqi was furious. At this moment, he suddenly completely hated Jiang Yan'er.
The face looked like a flower, but the actual heart was extremely vicious. He suddenly thought of Jiang Yunxu's good deeds. She was obviously the one who saved him, but someone else took the credit for her efforts.
On their wedding night, Chu Youqi almost beat someone to death.
He felt a little regretful when he thought of this.
"Third Prince, is Princess Chen really always by your side?" Prime Minister Jiang asked with a gloomy face and a deep voice.
Chu Youqi looked at the tone of the father and daughter's questioning, and their attitude did not take him seriously at all.
He was angry and annoyed.
Jiang Yunxu looked at Chu Youqi and did not dare to speak. She immediately said: "Although uncle doesn't want to see me, there is no need to let Concubine Jiang deliberately slander me. We are still a family after all."
Prime Minister Jiang looked at Jiang Yunxu with a murderous look on his face.
"Although I had some troubles with my uncle, I haven't caused any trouble today. I don't know why they are blaming me for everything. Since my uncle insists on thinking that I have evil intentions, you can tell me what happened.
?”
Under Jiang Yunxu's questioning, Prime Minister Jiang choked on his words. This matter was related to the royal family's reputation and he could not speak.
And once he opens his mouth, the Jiang family will be charged with bad parenting.
Prime Minister Jiang clenched his fists tightly.
"I heard that the little palace maid is someone close to Feng Guiren. There is a grudge between you and Feng Guiren. You must have hurt Feng Guiren."
Jiang Yaner made a bold guess.
"Feng Guiren?" Jiang Yunxu turned his attention to King Dongyang. At this time, King Dongyang's expression was not much stronger than that of Prime Minister Jiang. His face was livid and his body was trembling slightly. He didn't know whether he was angry or afraid.
King Dongyang felt the gaze. He raised his head and glanced at Jiang Yunxu. He moved his lips and looked at Emperor Lingzhou. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Concubine Jiang has misunderstood. Feng Guiren never mentioned it."
I have a personal grudge against Princess Chen."
This is a direct denial.
Jiang Yan'er's face became even more ugly. She never thought that King Dongyang would help Jiang Yunxu to speak.
Each and every one of these people had been brainwashed by Jiang Yunxu, and they all helped her speak.
"Concubine Jiang, have you made enough trouble?" Jiang Yunxu stared at Jiang Yan'er with sinister eyes: "This is the palace, and you are not allowed to be presumptuous."
Only then did Jiang Yaner notice the sinister look in Lingzhou Emperor's eyes, and she was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "My wife deserves to die. I was confused for a moment and maybe I saw the wrong person. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Without any evidence, she had no choice but to change her story.
So Jiang Yunxu was successfully cleared of the crime, but Jiang Yaner was punished for the following crimes and was sent to the royal temple to copy scriptures for one year as a pardon.
This has given Prime Minister Jiang enough face, otherwise he would have been beaten to death long ago.
Jiang Yaner gritted her teeth in humiliation and kowtowed to thank her.
At this time, the Lingzhou Emperor had long since given up on admiring the flowers, so he just found an excuse and left.
After such a fuss, Queen Mu was also uninterested, but she had to cheer up and continue.
But no one knows what happened just now.
Since the royal family wants to cover up, it must not be a good thing. The smart people chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Sometimes the more you know, the more unlucky you are.
"Concubine Jiang did not lie just now. I also saw you going to Yuqing Palace." Princess Zhaohe suddenly came to her side and asked doubtfully: "What happened?"
Jiang Yunxu pretended to look at Princess Zhaohe with a blank expression. She did not think that the princess in front of her was a good person.
The Queen Mother was also involved in what happened today.
Therefore, if Princess Showa did not know about it, she would only half-believe it.
"What does the eldest princess want to hear?"
When Princess Showa saw her pretending to be crazy and playing charades, she wisely stopped asking questions and started chatting about other topics.
Jiang Yunxu chatted with him for a few words.
"Princess Chen, the Emperor is feeling a little unwell. Please come over immediately." The young father-in-law came over.
"yes."
Jiang Yunxu waved to Princess Zhaohe, then turned around and followed the young father-in-law to the Political Affairs Hall.
Arriving at the back of the Council Hall, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. She even relaxed her breathing a lot. She knelt on the marble floor and kowtowed to her superiors: "I would like to express my regards to the Emperor."
Emperor Lingzhou remained silent, his eyes fixed on Jiang Yunxu, his sharp gaze seemed to see through the person.
"Jiang Yunxu!"
"My wife is here."
Emperor Lingzhou was very angry: "Do you know what mistake you made today?"
"Your Majesty, I have no choice but to do so." Jiang Yunxu began to make up: "My wife searched around and found Mr. Feng Guiren, but found that Jiang Tianhao had been following me to avenge my mother's murder, so I wanted to seek revenge for myself.
Bao can only feed Jiang Tianhao Mei Guxiang."
"You mean, Jiang Tianhao was killed by Feng Gui?"
"No, my wife also helped me."
"You are honest."
Jiang Yunxu said with a sad face: "I just don't dare to deceive you."
Emperor Lingzhou snorted coldly and suddenly asked: "Is there anyone else present?"
Faced with the Lingzhou Emperor's inspection, Jiang Yunxu's expression did not dodge and he shook his head: "When I arrived at Yuhe Palace, I saw blood on the ground. Feng Guiren was lying on the ground after being hit by the incense of feigning bone. There was nothing else."
.”
"You really haven't seen anyone else?"
Jiang Yunxu shook his head vigorously, raised three fingers and swore: "Your Majesty, if my wife tells a lie, I will not have even half a copper in my body for the rest of my life."
She thought to herself, if there is no copper, there can be gold and silver.
Jiang Yunxu was so angry that she couldn't laugh or cry. Emperor Lingzhou knew that she was a person who loved money as much as her life.
I also thought that the man must have tried to escape, so Jiang Yunxu didn't see him.
As for Jiang Tianhao.
If you want to blame, blame him for being unlucky. He insisted on hitting the muzzle of the gun. He deserved to be killed.
"Your Majesty, I just did what I was asked to do and never thought about killing anyone. Now Prime Minister Jiang's Mansion and Dongyang Prince's Mansion may hate me to death. Please protect me."
Jiang Yunxu pretended to be panicked and even squeezed out a few tears.
Emperor Lingzhou's expression softened a lot. After this incident, Prime Minister Jiang and the Dongyang Palace had formed a close relationship. Jiang Tianhao was Prime Minister Jiang's only legitimate son.
Moreover, Emperor Lingzhou gave the Dongyang Palace enough dignity to not expose the matter or investigate it.
King Dongyang must accept this favor.
In short, Emperor Lingzhou was very satisfied with everything, and it did not fail the original intention of the flower appreciation feast.
"Didn't you ask Chu Youqi to testify for you? If you are so capable, why do you need my protection?"
Emperor Lingzhou pretended to snort coldly, and the expression between his brows had obviously relaxed a lot.
Jiang Yunxu didn't hide anything: "Master Liu and Master Li both have patients at home. In order to win over the two of them, Chu Youqi lied to the minister's wife."
She betrayed her pig teammates without hesitation.
As expected, Emperor Lingzhou's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye. What an emperor hates most is forming cliques.
Chu Youqi was so blatant, it would be strange that Emperor Lingzhou was not angry.
"You are Princess Chen. Shouldn't husband and wife work together? When Chu and You are together, you will be better off."
Jiang Yunxu shook his head: "My wife has never thought about anything. Moreover, Chu Youqi has no feelings for my wife. He is just using her. One day, my wife will no longer have any use value and will only die."
Seeing her not shying away from commenting on his son, Emperor Lingzhou was not even angry.
After all, he knew every move Chu Youqi made towards her.
"That's all, go back." Emperor Lingzhou began to chase people away.
Jiang Yunxu boldly asked, "Your Majesty, the title deed of the house..."
"It's indispensable for you!" Emperor Lingzhou angrily asked someone to take out the things and hand them to her.
Taking the two thin pieces of paper, Jiang Yunxu kowtowed and thanked: "My wife, I would like to thank the emperor for this gift."
