Chapter 136 The Dilemma

After a while, two heavy pens were placed on the hall.

Wen Moyan stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of her, and she asked suspiciously: "My lord, what's going on?"

Before Shuang Feichen could respond, the Queen Mother said, "Come here, let's go and have a look."

The nuns beside the queen mother, and Eunuch Chen beside Emperor Xuanwu, all went to the center of the hall to check the two heavy pens placed on the table.

After a while, Eunuch Chen said in surprise, "It really is two pens."

Eunuch Chen turned to face the two emperors and the empress and said, "Returning to Your Majesty, the two pens are exactly the same. I'm sorry I can't tell which one was rewarded by the Empress Dowager to the side concubine of the King of Qin."

The queen mother looked at the nanny, and the nanny nodded, indicating that they were exactly the same, and she couldn't tell the difference.

The queen mother sneered, leaned on the back of the chair, and said, "It's really interesting. The Ai family only rewarded one pen, but two of them came out. Qin Wang's side concubine, don't you have some magic tricks, you can turn one into a pen?" Two?"

Hex?Does this make it clear that Wen Moyan is a witch?

Wen Moyan smiled wryly and said, "The Empress Dowager is joking."

"Aijia didn't joke, the facts are in front of you, please explain why there are two branches?"

"Wait a minute." Mu Hongyu interrupted the Queen Mother's inquiry, and said, "Your Majesty, we might as well listen to the explanations of His Royal Highness Qin Wang and the third son of the Wu family? Then ask Qin Wang's side concubine, what are the two of them? Who was right."

Wen Moyan looked at Mu Hongyu, and found that this woman was really vicious.

Mu Hongyu made it clear that Wen Moyan had to choose between Shuang Feichen and Wu Xuanli, and the one who was not chosen would be a crime of deceiving the emperor today, and his life was very likely to be lost.

Both men wanted to defend her, but she had no choice but to kill one of them. Mu Hongyu wanted to see her in a dilemma.

However, Wen Moyan felt that Mu Hongyu's heart could be punished, but the Queen Mother felt that Mu Hongyu had a clever mind.

The queen mother immediately said: "That's right, Xuan Li, tell me first, why do you have this pen?"

Wu Xuanli's lips moved, and it was difficult to speak.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Wu said sharply: "Third brother, the Queen Mother is asking you something, what are you still doing?"

Prime Minister Wu's stern words made Wu Xuanli understand that their Wu family can no longer make mistakes now. The Dali Temple has not closed the case about the herbal medicine before. If there is another crime of deceiving the emperor today, the Queen Mother may not be able to protect them.

Wu Xuanli pursed his lips, and said: "Go back to the Empress Dowager, this thing... this thing is borrowed from the Qin Palace."

Wu Xuanli deliberately said that he borrowed from Qin Wangfu instead of Qin Wangfei, because he didn't want others to think too closely about his relationship with Wen Moyan.

In fact, after he salvaged the pen, he had already returned it to Prince Qin's mansion.

It's just that Shuang Feichen didn't let him see Wen Moyan that day, and he was a bit selfish. He just wanted to return it face to face, so that Wen Moyan could remember his kindness, so he took the Qianjin pen away again.

Unexpectedly, it would cause such trouble.

Mu Hongyu sneered: "It turns out that it was borrowed from the Prince Qin's mansion, so that's strange. Brother Rong Yi, where did you get the pen in your hand?"

Shuang Feichen's Qianjin pen was made by Yan Siniang.

But right now, it is natural not to tell the truth, otherwise a crime of deceiving the emperor will not be escaped.

It seems that I can only bite the bullet and say that Wen Moyan brought it back.

But in this case, it depends on Wen Moyan's choice.

Wen Moyan helped him lie, so Wu Xuan's life was hanging by a thread.

If Wen Moyan doesn't help him, then he is a criminal deceiving the king.

Shuang Feichen really wanted to know if Wen Moyan would help him hide the truth.

Thinking of this, he said, "This king's heavy pen is..."

"I gave it to you!" Wen Moyan suddenly started talking.

The crowd was instantly in an uproar.

Wen Moyan gave the king of Qin's thousand-jin pen, so did the third son of the Wu family lie just now?

Wu Xuanli looked at Wen Moyan, with a look of injury and disbelief on his face.

On the contrary, Shuang Feichen showed joy at this moment, because Wen Moyan clearly knew that he was lying, but still stood by his side without hesitation.

Seeing this, Mu Hongyu said coldly: "Oh? Is that so? In this way, the third son of the Wu family lied? To lie in front of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, the third son of the Wu family is really courageous."

When Empress Dowager Wu heard this, she asked angrily, "Xuan Li, what's going on here? Where did your pen come from?"

Wu Xuanli lowered his head, not knowing how to answer. To be honest, it might kill Wen Moyan. Wen Moyan saved him, so he can't do that.

Continue the rhetoric just now, but it is untenable now, after all, Wen Moyan has chosen to help Shuang Feichen.

It is obviously even more inappropriate to fabricate another lie.

Just when Wu Xuan was running out of words, Wen Moyan stood up and continued: "The pen in the hand of the third son of the Wu family was also given to me."

what?
Was it also given by Wen Moyan?

Everyone looked at Wen Moyan, and the Queen Mother asked angrily: "Wen Moyan, do you know what you are talking about? The Ai family only rewarded you with a pen, how can you share it between two people?" ?”

Wen Moyan laughed dryly, and said, "This...this is really a child without a mother, it's a long story!"

The queen mother reprimanded impatiently: "Then you can make a long story short!"

Wen Moyan showed a helpless expression: "Tsk, Empress Dowager, this concubine knows that you are in a hurry, but don't worry, this concubine Rong Chen will speak slowly."

The queen mother couldn't help giving Wen Moyan a hard look, wondering why this damn girl was talking so much nonsense.

Wen Moyan didn't mean to talk nonsense on purpose, but she was still thinking about countermeasures in her mind while dealing with the Queen Mother.

After she had thought it over, she continued: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, before explaining the matter, I have a question and I would like to ask you a question or two."

The queen mother said angrily: "What kind of trick are you playing again?"

Emperor Xuanwu also frowned and said, "Wen Moyan, stop talking around in circles, what's going on, please speak clearly."

Wen Moyan responded: "Your Majesty, my concubine is not going around in circles, I just want to ask, if there are people among the people who admire His Majesty's calligraphy and copy it when they go back, is this considered a crime?"

Emperor Xuanwu said with some doubts: "Copying is not counted, but it cannot be faked. If you write it yourself but sign it as Zhen, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor."

"Ha, then of course I don't dare, of course I don't dare."

"What does this matter have to do with the Qianjin pen?" Emperor Xuanwu asked.

Wen Moyan quickly said: "Returning to Your Majesty, among the two pens, the one in the hands of the third son of the Wu family was given to me by the Queen Mother that day. And the one in the hands of His Royal Highness King Qin is the one I found for skilled craftsmen. , It was built according to a pot and a painting ladle. It’s just that when I handed it over to His Highness King Qin, I didn’t explain the origin clearly.”
