Crazy! Crazy batch of chief ministers reduced to subordinates

The floor was cold, and Bei Sheng's knees felt bone-chilling.

The early autumn day was not too cold during the day and was still a bit hot at noon, but at night, in the wind and still wearing thin clothes, she couldn't help but shiver.

After the little eunuch finished reporting, she heard the footsteps of a man behind her. Then it turned out that there was another inquiry surrounding her personal relationship with him.

It doesn't matter how you ask her, but asking Xiao Xu...

Bei Sheng closed her eyes slightly, her heart felt like someone was hurting her.

She wondered if he might reveal something unintentionally in his reply.

The footsteps passed by her, and the figure knelt down in front of her, and his voice was loud: "Xiao Xu, the saddle and bridle bureau, pays homage to the Holy Lord, long live the Holy One, and the Queen lives a thousand lives."

Then he said: "Mother, please be well."

No one allowed him to lie flat, so he kept kneeling on the ground. The official robe on his body had not yet been returned. It could be seen from his back that he was called directly from the Saddle and Bridle Bureau.

Bei Sheng shook his palms and forced himself to calm down.

The responses from the previous parties have been recorded by Eunuch Bingbi.

Xiao Mian raised his hand, and Eunuch Bingbi handed Xiao Mian the record and the previous confession.

Xiao Mian was tired from sitting and leaned on his chair. He glanced at the case file in his hand with tired eyes and asked straightforwardly: "You met Miss Xu Er and helped her in Luzhou. If you If you have feelings for her, I can make the decision for you and make this a happy match."

Bei Sheng's heart rose to his throat.

Lang Zhuo, who was beside Xiao Mian, secretly clenched his hand hidden in his robe sleeve.

Xiao Xu was startled.

The eunuch who called on the way here had already told what happened in the palace. Now that he saw Bei Sheng and the other two noble ladies kneeling, he already knew what happened.

But he didn't expect that His Majesty would directly bring him and Bei Sheng together. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew it was a trap.

Wei Ye asked him to enter the palace. Such a big battle, and then recalling the difficulties Xiao Yan and Xiao Xiao made during lunch today, it must not be as simple as a kiss.

Xiao Xuqing lowered his eyes, full of doubts, and asked: "Your Majesty, I have only met Miss Xu a few times. I met her by chance in Luzhou because we were acquaintances, so I helped as much as I could. How to say kiss?"

Beisheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The cold frost that had gathered on Lang Zhuo's eyebrows dissipated instantly.

Xiao Mian rubbed the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "You are twenty-three, you should have talked about marriage long ago. I heard the rumors between you and Miss Xu Er in the palace, so I asked."

Xiao Xu frowned, with an angry look on his face, and said in a harsh tone: "Rumors are hurtful. Your Majesty and the empress cannot believe them. I and Miss Xu Er are innocent. It is only because Miss Xu entered the palace to run for the crown princess. If it harms the interests of others and deliberately slanders you, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, please handle it fairly!"

He didn't look sideways, his bright eyes only staring at the two most distinguished people on the steps.

Xiao Mian seemed to be dissatisfied with this answer and continued to ask: "I watched you grow up. I know that you have a weak temper and are not liked by girls. Miss Xu Er is the only one who regards you as a confidant. If you are interested, , you can also ask for marriage, you are my nephew and worthy of her, you don’t have to worry about the prince!"

Beisheng's heart trembled. When did she say that she regarded Xiao Xu as a confidant? She clearly meant that she was a close friend!

Xiao Xu didn't know how dangerous the situation was today, so his hands on the ground were silently curled up.

Beisheng is irreplaceable in his heart, but the preference hidden in his heart cannot be put in front of him.

If the princess is not her in the future, he may have a chance to fight for it, but now he can't have anything to do with her. If he reveals his true feelings today, it doesn't matter if he is laughed at, but he cannot put Bei Sheng on the fire.

After straightening out his thoughts, Xiao Xu raised his head and stared at Xiao Mian, saying: "Although I am over twenty, the laws of our court do not stipulate that people over twenty must get married. I just want to support my mother for a few more years." , it’s not too late to get married if you meet a woman you like.”

Xiao Mian raised his eyebrows slightly, "So, Miss Xu Er doesn't understand your thoughts?"

Xiao Xu lowered his eyebrows and said calmly: "If she had the same mind as me, she would not have come to the palace."

Xiao Mian raised the corner of his mouth and said, "That's true. In that case, you can go back first."

Xiao Xu's face was expressionless, and without raising his eyes, he stood up and held his hands in his hands: "I excuse myself."

The footsteps passed by Bei Sheng again, and the venue was silent for a moment, but Bei Sheng felt that his heart had been torn away, and the false calmness on his face was no longer there, leaving only the sadness of closing his eyes. .

An Guogong glared at Mi Yu and Liu Zelan who looked gloomy at the foot of the steps, and said angrily: "My daughter's innocence was almost destroyed in your hands!"

Now that the facts have become clear, all the noble ladies breathed a sigh of relief, while some also felt lingering fears.

Fortunately, Zhong Yunzhen and Wu Jinzhi were the first to go upstairs and were not involved in the commotion.

Pei Ning turned his father's humiliation on the stage into resentment against Liu Zelan and Mi Yu. If the two of them had not provoked trouble, his father would not have been called into the palace in the middle of the night and Lang Zhuo would have taken the opportunity to ridicule him.

She lowered her gaze and glared at the two people who were kneeling on the ground shivering, and said: "They are so good at making up rumors and making up random things. It's a pity not to go to the teahouse to tell stories. It's really unfair to run for the crown princess!"

Empress Hua frowned, looked at Xiao Mian, and said, "The facts are clear. Mr. Xu and Miss Xu Er were wronged. The innocence of our daughter is the most important thing. I don't blame Miss Xu Er for being angry. Although I will push forward..."

She couldn't say the dirty words, so she hesitated for a moment and said: "It's understandable. How should Your Majesty decide this matter?"

Xiao Mian's eyes fell below, and Bei Sheng felt the coldness and depression on the field without even raising his head.

Xiao Mian was an emperor. It was always said that he was ill, but he was able to hear a fight between several noble girls in the middle of the night. You can imagine how much he attached importance to the prince's selection of concubines.

Just listen to him say: "Mi Yu and Liu Zelan have deceived the public with their evil words and slandered the royal family. If they commit the first offense, let Mi Yu and Liu Cheng take him home and have a good education! Xu Beisheng has done meritorious service in protecting the eldest princess and Xu'er, and he has also been wronged. He will be rewarded." Two pieces of Sichuan brocade and a pair of hairpin rings! In addition, Princess Fanyang Xiao Yan and Princess Laiyang Xiao Xiao are not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned. He Qi, you will go to the Gaoyang Marquis Mansion tomorrow morning to convey the decree and order Gaoyang Marquis and Gaoyang Marquis Prince to strictly restrain them. Princess Fan Yang!"

Mi Yu had already collapsed on the ground, and Liu Zelan cried: "Your Majesty, please spare me this time. I know your mistake! My daughter..."

Liu Cheng bowed his hands to Xiao Mian and said goodbye, then hurriedly walked down the steps, picked up the man by his collar and dragged him out: "What are you doing here to embarrass yourself!"

Liu Zelan was dragged out of the crowd, still shouting hysterically: "Father, I'm finished, my whole life is finished..."

Who says it’s not the case? If you don’t choose the crown princess, you might become a concubine, a concubine, a concubine, or a concubine... If you don’t get chosen by the prince, you can still get married after leaving the palace.

But if she loses her reputation in the palace and is punished and kicked out, even if she can't get married, it will be difficult for her to gain a foothold in her mother's family.

Mi Tong felt awe-struck in his heart, and offered his hand to Duke An, saying: "Today, my little girl did not know the importance of the situation, and my words offended your lady. It was me, a father, who did not discipline me well. I am here to say sorry to Duke Guo and your lady for her. From now on." I will strictly control you."

Duke An Guo was not an unforgiving person. Although his face was not very pretty, his tone was a little gentler and he said: "That's all, it's enough that your Majesty and the empress make the decisions for Bei Sheng. Bei Sheng acted recklessly, so let's let him do it." Miss Mi has been wronged, and Master Mi can just go back and feel relieved."

Beisheng was still kneeling, his lower limbs so numb that he had no feeling at all. No one asked her to get up, so she kept kneeling.

Hearing Xu Zhaoting's words, she couldn't help but frown. She hadn't planned to forgive Mi Yu yet, but her father had reconciled with him first.

That's all, the matter finally ended safely.
