Chapter 89

It turned out that after Qin An'an got the news, he rushed to find Yunhua, but was informed that Yunhua had been taken away by the queen, so he could only find Concubine Xian, and asked her to invite the queen mother to go to the queen's place together.

He also asked Zhiqiu to tell Ji Lingchen and Qin Ming about the situation, so that they could take precautions first, and then go find the eldest princess who was only opened by the queen.

"Why did you let Ai's family come here to see?" The queen mother looked around the courtyard in a daze, "Why are there so many people standing here?"

The queen hurriedly signaled the prince to dismiss the group of guards in the courtyard, and she quickly stepped forward and bowed down: "The concubine sees the queen mother. I don't know the queen mother is here, so I am far away to welcome you, please forgive me..."

Qin Anan didn't wait for her to finish her routine, and immediately asked coldly: "Is that Yunhua sitting over there? What's wrong with her?"

The queen glanced at the end of her eyes and saw that Qin Ming had walked to Yunhua's side and gently lifted her up. The princess's face turned red and her eyes were closed tightly. She couldn't say that she was fine, so she said, "Today, the princess I came here for a banquet, but I didn't expect that the alcohol was too strong, and Yunhua was drunk..."

"Although Princess Yunhua is weak, the eldest princess once said that she can drink a lot, how could she get drunk so easily?"

"The concubine also thinks it's strange." The queen still had a smile on her face, "Maybe it's because she has been a little worried about the marriage in recent days."

"Then what are all the guards here for? Does anyone dare to behave wildly in the Queen's Zhaoren Palace? Tell me, and the Ai family will decide for you."

"Oh, what about this guard..." The queen laughed and said, "It's the crown prince who wants to show me the sword formation, and he said that the training is neat, and it can be regarded as a kind of dancing skill."

Time was urgent, and Qin An'an didn't have a chance to explain the situation to her along the way. Although Concubine Xian didn't know what was going on, but seeing the situation in front of her, there was still something she didn't understand. , "What joke is the queen talking about? You let a distinguished guest like Princess Yunhua get drunk on the steps and don't care, but you are here with your son watching some kind of sword array... This kind of words can be said to my concubine. Is it possible that you still Do you want to report back to the emperor like this?"

"How to report back to the emperor is my own business, how dare I bother the concubine Xian to worry about me." The queen pushed back softly.Seeing that his mother was so calm, the prince, who was still pale before, also slowly walked over to greet the queen mother and concubine Xian.

The queen mother had been listening to the queen and the queen's exchange of words with great interest, but she didn't interrupt. Seeing the prince coming over to salute, she immediately patted his head lovingly, "Prince, who are the two children over there? , can't see clearly..."

"...Uh..." The crown prince said with some embarrassment, "That's Qin Ming, son of the Qin family... and Princess Yunhua..."

"Why don't these two children come to grandma's side? They are about to get married, and they are still so sticky?"

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager." Concubine Xian's tone was gentle, but her words were cold, "Yunhua is just drunk, and she will wake up sooner or later. After she wakes up, I will definitely persuade her not to drink like this again. Strong wine..."

The queen's chest froze, she gritted her teeth and endured without changing her color.That's really the worst part of the whole thing.Qin Ming was guilty of threatening the crown prince himself, and the two sides basically reached an agreement not to pursue each other in the matter of interception and killing. Zhang Jie has also left, and the concubine Xian has not caught any current evidence of crime. way to justify.Only the mouth of the princess can't be blocked.The only hope now is to hope that the princess's daughter's family will be ashamed and arrogant, and they don't want to make the almost humiliating thing public, so as not to ruin her own innocence.

Qin An'an had already run to Princess Yunhua's side at this time, looked at her flushed face worriedly, and said in a low voice: "What should I do? You're so drunk, let's take a rest in my concubine's palace first."

Qin Ming also felt that it would be more convenient for his younger sister to take care of the princess, so he nodded immediately and ordered someone to bring the soft sedan chair. Yili first asked the Queen Mother for permission, and then escorted Yunhua away with Qin An'an.

Concubine Xian knew that it would be more effective for Princess Yunhua to make a fuss than herself, so she didn't say much. She accompanied the queen mother into the main hall of the queen's Zhaoren Palace to chat and laugh, forcing the queen to stay by her side. It was time to go to the emperor to blow the air, and there was no chance to collude with the crown prince. Both the mother and the son smiled happily, which made Xianfei feel very relieved.

After Princess Yunhua was escorted into Concubine Xian's bedroom, Qin Anan immediately summoned several imperial physicians.After the consultation, everyone said that the princess was just short of breath, with poor blood circulation, and there was no serious illness, and it was not life-threatening.After Qin Ming was relieved, he was about to use his luck to relieve her acupoints. The Princess suddenly gritted her teeth and opened her eyes. She shook her head at him and had to stop again. She told her younger sister to take care of her. On the bench in the courtyard, one came to wait, and the other came to guard.

About half an hour later, Qin Anan ran out, panting, "Brother, Yunhua just opened his eyes and told you to go in."

Qin Ming hurriedly stood up and quickly walked into the hall, seeing that Yun Hua's face was calm, he was completely relieved, and stepped forward to untie the acupuncture points for her.

The princess slowly sat up from the bed, her eyes were as cold as frost, she pondered for a moment, Fang raised her head and glanced at Qin Ming slowly, and said in a low voice, "Thank you brother Ming for saving me again, I..."

Qin Ming only nodded slightly, and did not answer. Instead, Qin Anan asked with concern: "Yunhua, don't think too much, you are brother's daughter-in-law, and he should save you, so don't have other thoughts... "

"I know. Where's mother?" Yunhua reached out and gently touched Qin An'an's small face, got off the bed, took off his shoes, and stood up.

"I have sent someone to look for it, Yunhua, where are you going?"

"Holy face."

Qin Ming's gaze couldn't help jumping, and he asked in a low voice: "The Princess has decided?"

"It's really not something to show your face," Yun Hua sneered coldly. "Maybe the Queen still expects me to swallow my anger to cover up this humiliation. It's a pity that she still misjudged me, Yun Hua. She got it, and wanting me to submit to her is just a daydream, absolutely impossible."

As expected of the eldest princess's daughter, this courage is still the same as that of the eldest princess back then.

"The emperor should be in Yangju Palace. Since the Princess has made a decision, I will escort you there." Qin Ming said in a calm and authentic tone without commenting.

"Don't bother, I'm already..."

"After all, this is not the eldest princess's mansion, it's better to be careful."

Knowing his good intentions, Yunhua stopped being polite and evaded, and nodded in agreement.Qin Anan looked at this, then at that, and finally couldn't help asking: "Go, I'll go and see where the princess is..."

"I'm sorry for your mother's trouble," Yunhua smiled at her, "Please explain this to my mother so that she won't worry."

"Well, leave it to me..." Qin Anan promised, "Be careful, do you want me to accompany you?"

"No," Qin Ming immediately vetoed, "Don't meddle in this kind of occasion, wait here, and don't ask around, understand?" Qin Anan saw the solemn expressions of the two of them, thinking of all the people who came this day, he also knew The matter is not simple, so I don't ask any more questions now, and just nod obediently, I don't know what Achen has to gain.

After leaving Concubine Xian's place, the two of them walked silently all the way, neither intending to speak, nor did they seem to see the palace people saluting on both sides.It was not until the front of Yangju Hall that he stopped to let the eunuch outside the hall inform him.

Hearing that the two of them begged to see each other, the emperor was a little surprised, and hurriedly spread the word. Seeing the princess's face, he became even more suspicious. When they finished their national ceremony, he immediately asked: "Yunhua, what's the matter? Who messed with you?" Not happy?"

Princess Yunhua drew her skirt and bowed down, raised her head and said, "Please, Your Majesty, be the master of Yunhua."

"Oh, get up, get up, talk slowly..."

Princess Yunhua knelt without moving, looked straight into the emperor's eyes and said: "The empress summoned Yunhua to enter the empress's Zhaoren Palace in the name of talking about the customs of her hometown, but she secretly tampered with the wine to confuse Yunhua. Mind, the prince took the opportunity to bring his foreign minister Zhang Jie into the inner courtyard, intending to do something wrong, and thus wanted to force Yunhua to marry. I want the emperor to investigate this matter carefully and give Yunhua justice."

Her words were concise and straightforward, without any pretentiousness. Instead, she was startled by every word. The emperor was already trembling with anger, and shouted repeatedly: "Call the queen and the prince! Come quickly to the Yangju Palace!"

This decree spread surprisingly quickly, not only did those who should have come, but also those who should not have come.In addition to the summoned queen and prince, Concubine Xian and King Zhao also appeared together.

"Queen! Prince! Are you guilty?!" Before everyone finished saluting, the emperor shouted angrily.

The empress looked astonished, bowed her head in panic and said: "I don't know what has offended Shengyan, please speak clearly."

"You still pretend you don't know?" The emperor slapped the case, "What did you do to Yunhua today? Tell me!"

"Princess Yunhua?" The queen was even more surprised, "The concubine invited the princess to a banquet today. Later, the princess was overwhelmed with alcohol and became intoxicated. The concubine and the prince were taking care of her. Take the princess away to rest...the concubines don't know what happened after that. Could it be that the princess felt slighted because of the poor hospitality?"

Princess Yunhua saw that she had pushed her cleanly, so he couldn't help sneering a few times, and said: "Your wine is really powerful, just drinking one cup is like drugging you, and you lose your mind. Is there such a wine in the world? What's more, I just drank that wine After a glass of wine, the prince brought Zhang Jie in to pester him, is this also a coincidence?"

"The wine is Qilixiang given by the emperor. Although the wine is powerful, only the princess said that it is like a drug after drinking it. The emperor can search the palace of his concubines. There is absolutely no other wine. And the princess was afraid at the time. He is already drunk, obviously only the crown prince came in, so where is Zhang Jie? You can also ask all the servants in Zhaoren Palace of the empress to see if there is another person who saw Zhang Jie coming in."

Princess Yunhua raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "The Queen's Zhaoren Palace is all yours. If you deny it, who dares to report you?"

The empress did not refute her directly, but still argued to the emperor: "Although the people in the concubine's Zhaoren Palace are serving the concubine, everyone including the concubine is the emperor's servant and servant. Under virtue, who dares to deceive the king?"

Her sharp teeth were like knives, and every sentence was hard to refute. Concubine Xian couldn't hold back her anger long ago, and scolded: "You are really eloquent, dare to act or not? It's a pity that no matter how you deny it, you can't rely on the facts. Could it be that you are a county?" The Lord framed you for no reason?"

The queen said indifferently: "The concubine doesn't understand why the princess made up this story for no reason, just like the concubine doesn't understand why the concubine Xian has no evidence and no evidence, why she immediately believed the princess and refused to believe it. Like a concubine..."

Concubine Xian's heart sank, the queen's move was vicious, and they were dragged into the water.

Originally it was Princess Yunhua who sued the queen, the emperor would not think that the princess was looking for shame and framed the queen with her daughter's innocence.But as soon as he intervened to protect Yunhua, it seemed that the two palaces suddenly became a struggle, and the suspicious emperor had to think twice.

Seeing that the emperor started to frown and think deeply, the queen said slowly, "And the concubine also wants to ask the concubine Xian to be a witness. After the princess was drunk, the concubine Xian broke into the Zhaoren Palace of our palace with the empress dowager. Courtyard, did the empress see someone cheating on the princess at that time? Even if the empress dowager is old and it is inconvenient to disturb her at this time, Princess Jing was there at the time. Please ask the emperor to ask Princess Jing, did she see anything unsightly when she came in? scene?"

Yunhua didn't expect the empress to be so eloquent, and she became even more angry, and blurted out: "That's because they came in time, and your poisonous scheme failed..."

The queen turned around and did not flinch from her flaming eyes, and said calmly: "The princess insists that I have evil intentions, and I don't want to argue; the princess promised to Qin Gongzi, and now I am closer to the concubine Xian. The empress and King Zhao, not me and the prince, are because of our lack of moral cultivation, and we dare not hold grudges. But I would like to ask the princess, you have fallen into my trap over and over again, has your jade body ever been injured? If it is really painstakingly planning a poisonous scheme, how could there be a concubine Xian rushing in to save her so well?"

The emperor frowned, and glanced at Concubine Xian and King Zhao from the corner of his eyes, as if he was moved by these words.

Princess Yunhua was so angry that her hands were cold. This queen really chilled her. Just when she was about to curse back, a calm voice sounded from the side: "Your Majesty, I can testify that the minister entered the Queen's Zhaoren Palace In the inner courtyard, Zhang Jie was indeed at the princess's side, and his behavior was extremely unruly."

The queen's whole body shook, and she turned her head to stare at Qin Ming in disbelief.

"Seeing that the situation was urgent, I had no choice but to be rude and wanted to force the princess out." Qin Ming ignored her and continued to speak, "In order to stop the minister, the queen and the prince ordered the guards to shoot arrows at random, and the minister was helpless. I had no choice but to hold the prince as a hostage in order to save my life and delay until the queen mother arrives. I know that threatening the prince with a sword is not a light crime, but I am unwilling to conceal the truth from the emperor in order to cover up my fault. Please think about it carefully, if you are not in a hurry There is a ghost in my heart, why would the prince want to shoot and kill the minister?"

Even Concubine Xian and King Zhao didn't know about this scene, everyone was stunned, and the Empress didn't expect Qin Ming to have such courage.

"Empress! Is there such a thing?" The emperor's face sank like water, and he was already furious.

The queen gritted her teeth, raised her head and said, "Since the virtuous concubine, the princess, and Qin Ming have all accused the concubine of guilt over and over again, the concubine dare not argue again, nor dare to ask for any evidence. The concubine only asks the emperor to be wise and make a decision. The emperor also thinks that the courtiers and concubines are guilty, so my mother and son should accept the punishment and never dare to complain."

She retreated to advance like this, the emperor hesitated, don't believe it, accuse with one voice, believe it, and feel that there are too many voices, it is inevitable that there is a drum in his heart, and while hesitating, the eunuch outside the palace said: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is asking to see you." .”
