night enchanting

Chapter 85: Three Big Weddings (2)
This person disguised herself as a man to get close to the prince and married him as a man. There must be a lot of reasons behind it.And the prince and her have been in the same room for many days, even if they don't sleep together, it is impossible not to notice the clues at all, so there can only be one reason, they have reached a certain agreement, and this agreement is absolutely incompatible with her. related.

Cen Xinyan sneered, at first he wanted to keep him a little longer, since he wanted to die by himself, then she couldn't blame her.

"Come on—" The guard came in response, knelt down on one knee, and nodded in obedience.Cen Xinyan stared fixedly at Rumo's face which was blocked by the bead curtain, and ordered in a cold voice: "Take the princess and go for a physical examination."

The guards were stunned for a moment, almost thinking that they had heard wrongly, they raised their heads to look at the queen and then at the princess in doubt, and were stunned for a while.All the officials were even more surprised. The ceremony had just ended, and it was going well. What did the empress mean by saying this suddenly?Generally, only women need a body test to check whether they are chaste. What kind of body test is this man?Could it be possible to judge a man as a woman?

Ru Mo's heart trembled, his complexion suddenly changed, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his hands were clenched unconsciously.She actually wants to test her body?Could it be that she discovered something?She thought she covered it up very well and never had any flaws.

The smile on Jin Ling's face froze for a moment, then returned to normal in an instant, turned to face the queen, and said with a smile: "I don't understand what the queen mother means?"

Cen Xinyan was expressionless, and said coldly: "I suspect that the Crown Princess disguised herself as a man and intentionally approached the Crown Prince, plotting something wrong."

Everyone was taken aback, is the crown princess a woman?All the officials looked at Rumo in unison, from top to bottom, from bottom to top, back and forth.The details that were not noticed before became more and more clear under this deliberate observation.Look at the slender body, the thin shoulders, the graceful neck, and the exposed petite and exquisite earlobes, all of which are the characteristics of a woman.But why would a woman pretend to be a man to marry?Doesn't she know that once exposed, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor!
Jin Ling hastily said in a respectful voice, "The queen mother is worrying too much."

Cen Xinyan snorted coldly, and looked at Ru Mo who was still as calm as before. It seemed that it was not easy for this woman to remain calm at this moment.She asked the guards to examine the crown princess, no matter whether the crown princess is a woman or not, the prince's face will not look good.Just imagine, from ancient times to the present, which man marries a wife still needs to verify whether the bride is a man or a woman?And she just wanted to embarrass them.

She raised her chin, looked sideways at the prince, and said in a manly voice: "Is it too much worry? You have to verify it before you know." After finishing speaking, she glanced coldly at the guard who was still standing aside, the guard They trembled, hurriedly took orders, and headed towards Rumo.

"Wait!" Rumo shouted in a deep voice.Even though she couldn't see her eyes clearly through the bead curtain, the guards could still feel the coldness in her eyes, they couldn't help but stop, and looked around in embarrassment.They haven't forgotten what the commander said, they can neither disobey the queen nor offend the prince, what should they do?

Ru Mo looked straight at Cen Xinyan, his clear eyes flashed with complex emotions that no one could understand, and said in a low voice, "Empress, what evidence do you have for saying that I am a woman? Is it because of you?" Is it the mother of a country who can trample on the dignity of others at will based on her baseless suspicions?"

Cen Xinyan laughed suddenly, wantonly and flamboyantly.Slowly walked a few steps towards her, the footsteps were not light or heavy, in the cold and quiet space of winter, it was very clear and dull to the ears, she stood ten steps away from Rumo Stopped, looked at her, raised his voice arrogantly, and said: "So what? I always do things according to my personal preferences. Who dares to object?"

As he said that, he turned his eyes and glanced coldly at the people around him. Everyone quickly lowered their heads, expressing that they dared not make any protests.

Cen Xinyan smiled sarcastically, turned his eyes back to Ru Mo, and said coldly: "As the mother of a country, I control the life and death of the people in the world. I don't need any evidence for my doubts, and the dignity of others What have you got to do with me?"

It's only natural that she speaks so confidently!

Ru Mo couldn't help sneering, is this arrogant and arrogant woman in front of her really her mother?

Once, her mother was so gentle, virtuous, and considerate. She loved her to the bone, and loved her like life. How much resentment can make her change so completely? ?
Jin Ling shuddered inwardly, with the queen's temper, if she insisted on performing a physical examination for her, no one would be able to stop her.Looking at the sky, his people should have arrived by this time.

At this time, a young attendant in green walked through the ministers, came to Jin Ling with an anxious expression on his face, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "It's not good, Your Highness, that maid of honor And Imperial Physician Zhan... are dead!"

Jin Ling was startled, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. "what happened?"

The young servant in Tsing Yi whispered: "Originally, everything went smoothly. Doctor Zhan and the court lady also agreed to prove that the Queen poisoned the Emperor and His Royal Highness in front of all the officials. But when our people settled down After the two of them, when they went to pick up the emperor to leave the palace, they found that the emperor was not in the palace at all, and the dragon pillow that the emperor usually used was gone. Afterwards, we searched many places but failed to find the emperor, so we had to take Zhan The imperial doctor and the others came here, but they didn't want to be ambushed by dozens of masters in black on the way..."

Jin Ling asked calmly: "Do you know who the other party is?" Dozens of black-clothed masters will definitely not belong to the queen. The queen's people have been divided into two batches and sent to Fengguo, it seems that they are looking for people.And who will the large number of masters who appear this time to punish murder witnesses be?
The little waiter in Tsing Yi replied: "The identities of those men in black haven't been found yet, but..." He hesitated as he spoke, his eyes flickered slightly, and Jin Ling glanced at him, beckoning him to speak quickly.

"Our people were at the scene of the fight and found... this thing."

Jin Ling took the corner of a small piece of black robe from the hand of the waiter in Tsing Yi. The color and fabric were very ordinary. Judging from the edge of the corner, it was obviously cut off by a sharp knife. However, it was like that in his hand. Heavy, he looked at the thing in his hand, there was a faint dark red mark in the pitch black, his heart suddenly seemed to be poked a big hole forcefully, the bitter cold wind was blowing in, the whole body, instantly It was completely cold.

The smile on his lips, at this moment, finally broke away from the pretense, and turned into a sarcasm, with a little bit of imperceptible pain.But it didn't last for a while before returning to nature.Turning his head to look at the two equally fierce eyes, the queen and Rumo who were silently fighting.

Ru Mo raised his head slightly, with a resolute expression on his face, and a strangely calm voice, and said, "Since the Empress has no certificate, please forgive me for being difficult!"

It is impossible for her to accept someone else's medical examination for her.Not to mention a group of guards, even a palace maid, she would never agree.It was irrational to turn her face and become stiff at this moment, but the matter had come to this point, and she had no choice.I don't know how Jin Ling's plan is going.Turning his eyes to look at Jinling, he saw that although he was still smiling, there was a trace of heaviness in his eyes, which was not as relaxed and determined as before, and his heart sank. Could it be that his plan had gone wrong?

Cen Xinyan saw that she dared to confront her, the queen, in public, instead of being angry, he smiled and said: "You are really brave enough, but I want to see what you are capable of. Dare, no, obedience, order !" As he spoke, he waved his hand to the guards beside him, turned his eyes coldly, and repeated his previous instructions in a sharp voice, saying: "Take the princess and go for a physical examination."

The guard didn't dare to hesitate anymore, after all here, the queen is the big one.After receiving the order, Qiqi strode towards Rumo.

When she was about to approach her, before Rumo could react, Jin Ling had already stood in front of her, crossed his arms, blocked her behind, and shouted loudly to the guards: "Stop! There is this prince!" Here, who dares to touch her?!"

He put away all the wild and unrestrained expressions on weekdays, his handsome face was calm and solemn, his eyes slightly squinted, his expression was sultry, and he exuded a powerful murderous aura, which shocked the group of guards to the ground. They retreated, and in the end they couldn't stand still, and they all fell backwards.

Everyone was stunned, no one had ever seen Jin Ling like this, the prince in their impression, before amnesia, was smart, wise, gentle and humble, after amnesia, he looked cynical all the year round.And at this moment, he was like a lion that had been sleeping for many years, suddenly waking up.

Rumo was slightly startled, and looked suspiciously at the back of Jin Ling standing in front of her. She never thought that Jin Ling would stand up to protect her at this moment. Isn't he always good at forbearance?Judging from how he transformed himself into another image in the past eight years, it is impossible to expose his strength without certainty and confront the queen head-on. This is not his style of action.

Jin Ling was also a little dazed at the moment, he didn't know why he did this, it was just a natural reaction at the time, he wanted to protect her in front of her, this was the first time in so many years that he could not control his behavior At the impulsive moment, when he calmed down, he laughed at himself. In fact, the people behind him don't need his protection!
He turned his head to look at the person behind him, with an inexplicable complex emotion hidden deep in his eyes.The queen asked someone to perform a body check on her. This, absolutely not!

Forget it, the matter has come to this, then he has nothing to worry about, why not just bet this time!Use his life, and this country, to bet on one's bottom line.

Cen Xinyan thought it might be okay for a while, but was shocked by his inner strength and took a big step back. She was shocked. She had always known that Jin Ling was good at martial arts, but she didn't expect his inner strength to be so deep. It seems that he has not deserted.She suddenly felt a jump in her heart, could it be that his absurdity these years was just an illusion, in order to lower her vigilance?But she obviously watched him drink that bowl of medicine back then.Could it be that something went wrong in the middle?
Thinking of this, Cen Xinyan felt that Jin Ling couldn't stay, so he stabilized his body, with a gloomy expression, and said, "Prince, is this going to openly resist the edict of my palace in front of all civil and military officials? It's fine for you to act absurdly, Prince. , you even dare to disobey my orders, do you still have the word 'filial piety' in your eyes?"

Jin Ling looked calm, with a hint of coldness in his calm voice, and said: "I dare not! I didn't intend to offend the empress, but I just paid homage to the crown princess, and the empress asked for her body to be examined. Something is inappropriate, and it does not conform to your virtue as an elder. And since she has become the wife of the minister, no matter whether she is a man or a woman, the minister has the responsibility to protect her from being bullied!"

Ru Mo's heart moved slightly, it was just a deal between them, why should he be so serious?At this time, with his character and standpoint, he should choose to give up on her and get rid of her. Why didn't he do that, but deliberately narrowed the distance between them, emphasizing that she is his wife, Said it was his duty to protect her.

Cen Xinyan sneered and said, "It doesn't matter if she's a man or a woman? Heh! It seems...the prince already knew the fact that she was a woman, otherwise why would he protect her so much? Indulge and cover up, together with her, tease the palace and the emperor, the two of you, you really ate your ambition! Come here—" She looked gloomy, her eyes were fierce, she flicked her sleeves violently, empty, whistling in the cold wind.

Seeing the queen's Fengyan furious, everyone was so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe out.

The guards hurriedly knelt at her feet, nodding their heads to obey the order, but their hearts were full of complaints.

Cen Xinyan stared straight at Jin Ling, and said word by word: "I pass on the decree of the palace, the prince has failed in virtue and deeds, and deceived the emperor, now he will be removed from the title of prince, and the two of them will be thrown into prison, waiting for the emperor's judgment. "

All the officials were shocked, abolishing the crown prince was a major national event, although they all knew that the power was in the hands of the empress, but it was shocking to blatantly abolish the crown prince without the emperor's consent.

"Empress, this... I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" An old official stood up, bowed and saluted, and said: "His Royal Highness is the only heir of our dynasty. If the crown prince is abolished, who will inherit the throne after the emperor has lived for a hundred years? Dominate my Kingdom of Jin? I ask the empress to think twice!"

"Please think twice, Empress Dowager!"

This is often the case with courtiers. When one person stands out, a group of people will follow, but in the end, the unlucky ones are all the ones standing up.

He was telling the truth, but he forgot that he was facing the queen, and a careless word could lead to death.

Cen Xinyan looked at her coldly, seeing that nearly half of the ministers were pleading for the prince, she felt a little cold in her heart, if it wasn't for today's incident, she really didn't know when so many ministers would become princes. Prince's people.She swept her eyes across the crowd, and stopped at the minister who pleaded first, and slowly repeated one of his words: "After a hundred years from the emperor?! Lord Lin, you're just looking forward to the emperor... "

Before she could finish her words, Master Lin's face was ashen, and he knelt down with a plop, cold sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead, which condensed without dripping in the cold wind.Looking forward to the death of the emperor, that is the crime of punishing the nine clans!It's just that he made a careless slip of the tongue, and was the first person to speak out, but was caught by the empress. It seems that it is very difficult to get out of the body!
He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "I don't dare! This minister just made a slip of the tongue for a moment...it has absolutely no other intentions, and I ask the empress to... be careful!"

Cen Xinyan sneered and remained silent, and all the officials even lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

The wind blew wildly as usual, and the snowflakes fell into the roof and fell on the pillars of the roof. They were tightly wrapped, and the original carvings and paintings could not be seen, only a piece of cold white remained.

Time is like drops of water flowing from a ditch that is about to dry up, every drop is difficult.

In the cold air, there seemed to be countless steel knives resting on everyone's necks, and if they were not paying attention, their heads would be broken.

After a long time, there was a long sigh suddenly, with a lot of helplessness and countless vicissitudes.
