Straightening her back, Chu Qiluo showed a strange smile, and said in a clear voice, "Go back to the emperor, I am not guilty." Last time, she said that her father was innocent, and her father has been buried in the ground. Now it is her turn, she The corners of her lips were raised, if she wanted to die unjustly like this, instead of carrying an unnecessary crime, it would be better to directly poison all these royal nobles to death.

"Bold!" Long Yan was furious, and frowned tightly: "You colluded with the rebels, rushed into the palace and slaughtered people, and then hid in the homes of important court officials, what is your intention!"

"I have never done anything!" Chu Qiluo raised her head proudly, her words were like Bingfeng's words: "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it. If Your Majesty insists on killing me, I will admit it, but I have not done it." I have never done it! I entered the palace because of the Queen's order, and I left the palace because I was assassinated. It is even more unfounded to hide in the minister's house. The surroundings of the house are sealed, and the doors and windows are painted with poison. Treat each other!" Speaking of the pain, he stood up directly and glared at the heroes.

"You still dare to argue!" The emperor showed his majesty, pointing at her: "Hit me! Until she gives in!"

Chu Qiluo's heart turned cold, and she couldn't help but want to say that all of this was Ye Langxie's conspiracy, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she restrained herself. The royal family was in turmoil, and many things were not as simple as they appeared on the surface, so she had to follow every step... …

She looked up at the emperor's angry face, and suddenly noticed something abnormal: If the emperor really believed that she did it, with his behavior, he would have been killed directly, how could she be allowed to make such a fuss?I'm afraid... She suddenly understood something, and knelt down directly: "Your Majesty, I think this is Prince Chen deliberately trying to harm me!"

There was an uproar in the audience, those who supported Ye Langxie glared at Chu Qiluo angrily, the neutral party whispered and did not express their opinions, but Mao Zedong was beaming with joy, with his chin raised high, just waiting to watch the show.

Ye Langxie looked at her in shock, and after a long while, a bitter smile burst out, but she didn't say anything.

The few guards who were about to come to carry out the execution were even more frightened, and quickly stretched out their hands to hold Chu Qiluo, but they didn't expect that the emperor who was still angry just now frowned and stopped him: "Slow down." He stood up and walked away In front of Chu Qiluo, he quickly drew out the long sword and pressed it against her neck: "What does he have to do with this matter?"

The long sword was cold, but it didn't have much murderous intent when it touched her neck. It was obvious that the emperor was going to let her go.

While Chu Qiluo rejoiced that she had made the right bet, she couldn't help sighing that the prince was still a little tender: "I passed out in the pool when I was taking a bath. It was Lord Chen who saved me, but he was going to kill me in the carriage. ! And he threw me outside the palace and left in a hurry, and then I was knocked unconscious and locked up. The only person I met during this period was Lord Chen, and I felt that he deliberately harmed me!"

Although the sentence pointed directly at Ye Langxie, in fact, all responsibilities were left behind...

……

Ye Langxie's expression remained unchanged, he only frowned slightly, then closed his eyes, as if unwilling to explain further.

But the servant next to the prince was so angry that he jumped up: "Nonsense! How could Prince Chen kill you? It's clear that the two of you co-directed this play!"

"Presumptuous!" The emperor glanced coldly: "Drag it for me, and die with a stick!"

This is really angry.But no one dared to jump out to correct him without fear of death. After all, the emperor is now enraged by Longwei, whoever dares to speak out will be dead, this servant is the best example.

Chu Qiluo looked down at the long sword pointed at her neck and said nothing. The emperor stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Okay!"

He threw the sword, and Jingui immediately took the handkerchief and handed it to him to clean his hands. While wiping his hands, the emperor stared strangely at the silent prince and smiled slightly: "All the princes stay, and everyone else will step down for me." .”

His smile made everyone fall into an ice cave, the queen gave the prince a worried look, and finally couldn't bear it: "Your Majesty..."

"Empress." The emperor's voice turned cold, his eyes were slashed like icy blades, and the eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Ye Langxie.

As expected, the queen was stunned, wondering whether she should finish her sentence or not, but the princess next to her suddenly stood up and bowed respectfully: "Your servant will leave!" She walked cleanly without looking back, and the emperor's eyes flashed a touch of relief. , looking at the Queen's eyes added a little displeasure.

Seeing his expression, even if the queen wanted to intercede for the prince, she had no choice but to swallow her words and hastily covered her face.

The prince's face was pale and he slumped in the chair, not even daring to raise his head.

Chu Qiluo retreated with a group of ministers, and Eunuch Gui led her to the apse, where she waited with the queen and princess for the emperor's ruling.

It is said that it is the back hall, but in fact it is just separated by a curtain. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but after all, the empress and the prince are connected with each other, and the emperor did not stop.What he did was to separate the ministers from this matter, and to sound the alarm for the queen, after all, Chu Qiluo had an accident in her palace, and she could not escape the responsibility.

Staring at the teacup with downcast eyes, Chu Qiluo sat in the chair expressionlessly, pretending not to see the queen's needle-like gaze, and pricked up her ears to listen carefully to the movements in the outer hall.

"Kneel down for me!" The emperor slapped the carved table with his palm.

All the princes respectfully got up and knelt in front of him. If you took a closer look, you could find that the prince's hands that were hidden in his sleeves were shaking uncontrollably.

"Zhen." The emperor took a step back, leaning on the back of the chair and slowly sat back in his seat, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, and said slowly: "I will give you one last chance to tell the truth, and the matter has come to an end, if you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless !"

The prince trembled all over and wanted to speak, but he didn't expect a loud bang from behind him.

"Father, it's my son!" A clear and slightly immature voice sounded beside him: "The cause and effect of this matter are all thought by my son, and my son is willing to accept the punishment!"

The queen's expression tightened, and she stood up abruptly. Chu Qiluo looked at her with a half-smile, why, this person is very important?The princess grabbed the queen's sleeve: "Mother, the fifth brother will be fine, don't worry."

Fifth younger brother, fifth prince.Chu Qiluo narrowed her eyes, this game is getting more and more interesting...

"Oh?" The emperor smiled instead of anger, and lay back in the chair: "Tell me and listen."

"Son... I hate Chu Qiluo, so I stunned her when my mother called her into the palace, and then... I didn't expect the third brother to come in, so I hid and watched him rescue her. He was not convinced, so he sent someone to attack the third brother, and then locked up Chu Qiluo..." The more he spoke later, the more confident he became, and his voice gradually weakened.

"Nonsense!" The emperor was furious, and when he walked in front of him, he slapped hard. The fifth prince didn't dare to snort, and kowtowed desperately: "Father, please calm down, Father, please calm down."

Seeing his forehead soaked in blood, the emperor finally couldn't bear it, and said with a flick of his sleeve, "Say it or not!"

The prince slammed his head on the ground, and said in a crying tone, "Father, stop beating fifth brother, I, I plead guilty!"

The air seemed to stand still.Chu Qiluo couldn't explain the reason for the suppressed breath in her heart, she just felt suffocated, her chest was congested, and a voice screamed in her heart: He pleaded guilty?How much do you plead guilty to?
