Shao family has a daughter

Chapter 81
Empress Wu looked at Concubine Mei coldly, and said intentionally, "There is no evidence yet. Do the Mei family members know that the singing girl is an assassin? Why is Concubine Mei so anxious? Could it be that Concubine Mei knew about this a long time ago? That's why I feel wronged because of the background of the singing girl."

"Empress!" Concubine Mei Guifei's eyes were all red, and she stared at her fiercely, wanting to argue, but she was not as sharp as the other party's words, so she could only scream: "Don't bully people too much!"

Empress Wu had already finished what she wanted to say, so naturally she would not quarrel with her, but choked up, "Your Majesty, Gao Chen's life and death are still unknown, just in case... just in case something good or bad happens." Eye circles are red, sad Said: "Pity my niece from my natal family. She will be widowed at a young age and has no children. What should I do?"

Because of Xianhui's relationship, she is considered an "aunt", so it is natural to be concerned and anxious.

Concubine Mei's lungs were about to explode.

Too vicious!King Yan and the Mei family sent a singer to ruin Gao Chen's reputation, so they came up with a diabolical plan to call the singer an assassin!According to this, wouldn't it be that the Mei family had bad intentions early in the morning and deliberately arranged for a female assassin to assassinate Gao Chen? !

Empress Wu put away her tears and said righteously: "Your Majesty, please send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

The emperor has been silent all the time, watching Empress Wu cry and Concubine Mei arguing, but he doesn't believe the words of both sides.Whatever the truth is, we still have to find out before making a decision.

Soon, the palace sent people to Prince Qing's Mansion.

The one who was sent to investigate the assassination of Gao Chen was Li Dequn, the eunuch next to the emperor, and the other was Wang Bao, who was next to the queen. This was done for the sake of fairness.It's fine for the empress to care about her niece and son-in-law, but the emperor can't just listen to one side and believe it. Of course, he has to send people in front of the imperial court to investigate.

As a result, this investigation revealed a big problem.

Gao Chen did suffer a sword wound, and the wound was on the waist, it was very dangerous.According to the imperial doctor, the wound was six to seven inches long, if it was a little deeper, it would hurt the internal organs.In front of the two eunuchs, he also reapplied the medicine on the way, and let everyone see it with their own eyes. It is indeed true, the broken flesh is real.

"Fortunately, fortunately." Li Dequn said a few words of reassurance, "The kings of the four counties survived the catastrophe, and there must be future blessings."

Wang Bao was more concerned, "Oh, the king of the four counties is really dangerous this time." He represented Empress Wu and the Wu family, with a concerned look on his face, "Tsk tsk, it's okay, the empress is almost worried broken."

Gao Chen's face turned pale, "Thank you, the two father-in-laws, come here in person..."

"Fourth County King, you are welcome." Li Dequn paused, and then asked: "I heard that the assassin has been executed?"

"Yes." Gao Chen replied weakly: "It just so happens that Eunuch Li is here, you can go and see the body of the female assassin, so you can be a witness for me when you turn around."

"Ah? Go and see the corpse." Li Dequn was disgusted for a while, but he was afraid of ruining his errand, so he finally endured it and simply dragged Wang Bao into the water, "Let's go, let's go and see together. What kind of daring assassin is it? How dare you assassinate the kings of the four counties?! Looking back, it’s as if the emperor and the empress confessed.”

Wang Bao frowned falsely, then followed with an ugly expression.

Looking at it this way, you can see that there is a big problem.

"Oh my God!" Wang Bao pointed at the female corpse on the ground, retreated again and again, and exclaimed, "This woman...how can she look exactly like the princess of the four counties?"

Li Dequn was shocked when he heard the words, "Is this really true?"

Wang Bao said sternly: "During the draft last time, the princesses of the four counties came to the empress's palace to talk. Our family has seen it with our own eyes, so we definitely won't remember it wrong."

——This is a big mess.

When the two of them returned to the palace, you said a word and I said a word, and everything was told truthfully.

The emperor was furious when he heard this, "The assassin looks like the princess of the four counties?!" In a rage, someone even carried Gao Chen into the palace to reply, and also spread the word of Xian Hui, and asked someone to move the body of the female assassin into the palace. .

A comparison shows that the two are very similar.

"What's going on here?" The emperor was both puzzled and shocked.

Gao Chen looked stubborn and refused to speak.

"Your Majesty..." Xianhui knelt down and cried, "Yesterday, my concubine misunderstood the king of the four counties and quarreled with him. I only found out the truth today." While crying, she said, "It's all the fault of King Yan and the Mei family. Those sons and sisters deliberately found a woman who looks like a concubine, they, they...then...it's really unbearable."

It seems to be too wretched to say, which makes people think about it.

The emperor's face was livid with anger.

King Yan is so presumptuous!The ancients said that "a friend's wife should not be bullied", but he is good enough to find someone who looks like the princess of the four counties, and it is a group of people who do such unbearable things that no other man can bear it!Could it be that Gao Chen watched them humiliate that woman?There was no other way but to take people away naturally.

Duanduan never thought that there would be such twists and turns in it!
Xianhui wiped away tears, "The princes of the four counties are stubborn and can't bear that anger, so they brought that woman back to the palace, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a female assassin..." Looking up at the emperor, "I beg the emperor to make the decision." .”

These words are inappropriate according to Gao Chen's status.

And Xianhui's boudoir is weak, and she is not a lady from a famous family, but a commoner girl. In addition, she cares about her husband, so it is inevitable to speak frankly and without scruples.So, this task fell on her.

Xianhui's eyes were full of tears, and she looked really pitiful.

Gao Chen had an aggrieved and angry expression on his face, and remained silent.

The emperor couldn't help scolding, "There are so many things, why didn't you go to the palace to report to me earlier?!"

"Your Majesty..." Gao Chen held back for a while, before saying: "I...I really can't say it."

Empress Wu interrupted and said: "Your Majesty, the king of the four counties is young and good-looking. Others humiliate him, but the one who sings the song and looks like Xian Hui, how can he say it? Hmph, those treacherous villains are Count this right! I want the Four County Kings to suffer a lot!"

Treacherous villain?who?Concubine Mei felt choked up for a while.

She was about to argue when she heard the eunuch outside singing: "Report to the Emperor, King Yan begs to see you."

The emperor said angrily: "Let him get out!"

King Yan had just received the news that Concubine Mei Gui sent someone to deliver him, and things changed suddenly. Gao Chen was actually assassinated in hell, and he was talking nonsense, saying that the girl who sang the song was an assassin!Damn, this kid is too vicious and sinister.

As soon as he entered the palace, he quickly knelt down to pay his respects, "I have seen the emperor, the empress..."

"That's enough! Don't talk about it." The emperor interrupted: "How do you explain the good deeds you have done? Look at the women on the ground and tell me clearly!"

King Yan shivered in fright.

Gao Chen glanced at him angrily, but didn't speak.

At this time, it was not appropriate for Xianhui to speak.

Empress Wu stepped forward without hesitation. She is not only the mother of the country, but also an elder. She immediately pointed at King Yan and cursed: "You black hearted rotten seed! You actually found a female assassin to assassinate you? Fortunately, when you were in Jiangdu, the Qing Palace was still alive and well." I greet you with hospitality, along the way, the kings of the four counties escorted you to the capital again, you bastard who will repay your kindness with revenge!"

King Yan quickly argued, "No, it's not like that."

"How do the women on the ground explain it?!" Empress Wu scolded with anger on her face, "You deliberately found a woman who looked like the princess of the fourth county, and then a group of people behaved unbearably molested, didn't you just want to make the king of the fourth county angry Someone take it away? Then it's easy to assassinate!"

King Yan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his teeth were chattering.

Duan Duan did not expect that Gao Chen acted like he was swallowing his anger, and the concubines of the four counties made troubles in Prince Qing's mansion, all of which were intentional to confuse the view, so that he and the Mei family children could relax their vigilance!It is true that he did not speak to the emperor, but he came up with such a vicious plan, and then asked the emperor to ask about it--instead, he turned the nail on the nail, saying that she was a female assassin, and turned into him who deliberately wanted to assassinate him. It was really sinister and vicious!
"King Yan." Empress Wu was furious, "I didn't expect you to be such a heartless person! It was a waste of the emperor's efforts to cultivate you and let you accept the title, but what happened? If you dare to kill Gao Chen today, there is no guarantee that you will not tomorrow!" Attack other brothers..."

"Empress!" Concubine Mei had no choice but to interrupt, "Without evidence, King Yan cannot bear these words." The other party insinuated, not only slandering King Yan for assassinating Gao Chen, but also implying that King Yan would persecute his brothers in the future , and even involved his father's death——how could such an immoral person have the face to be the crown prince again? !

This trick is really too vicious.

King Yan also knew about the powerful relationship, and argued: "Yesterday, a group of people were drinking, and I was drunk. I didn't notice that this woman looks like the princess of the four counties." What does the princess look like? Gao Chen didn't say..."

"You don't know?!" Xian Hui, who was kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, suddenly raised her eyes and pointed at him angrily, "When you came to Jiangdu before, just in time for the king of the fourth county to take me out to play, didn't you meet me? Because at that time I was pretending to be a servant, and you still slandered the king of the four counties, saying that he is a man, you can't deny it!"

King Yan's expression changed, and he was about to explain, "I..."

"Your Majesty!" Xian Hui burst into tears, swearing upwards: "If the words of the concubine's body are half false, then the concubine's body will be struck with a thunderbolt and die on the spot! Everything the concubine has said is the truth."

The emperor's face suddenly became even uglier.

Concubine Mei was anxious and angry, and it was not easy to intervene in the matter of her birth in Jiangdu. She was quick-witted, and pointed at the woman's corpse to change the subject, "I see that the woman is delicate and weak, she doesn't look like an assassin at all." She snorted coldly, "I can't you If you say it's an assassin, then it's an assassin."

Immediately, Xianhui cried, "Justice is in the hearts of the people."

"You are presumptuous..."

"Okay, don't make any noise." The emperor waved his hand and ordered Li Dequn to find General Liang, the commander of the imperial guards, "Look at the corpse on the ground, and see if she knew kung fu in her lifetime."

If the woman is really an assassin, there will always be clues to look for.

"Yes." General Liang accepted the order with cupped fists, then stepped forward to check it carefully, and then replied: "This woman has thin calluses on her fingers and palms, and her arms are thick, but her skin is not rough. It should not be caused by doing farm work." Paused, "So, it's mostly because of martial arts since childhood."

As soon as this remark came out, a thunderbolt exploded on the Golden Luan Hall.

The emperor's eyes are even more thunderous!

The death of the old King Yan was very suspicious, maybe he was killed by the unfilial son of King Yan, otherwise, how could it happen that the old King Yan died of a sudden illness when he was not around.This bastard was still hiding in Jiangdu and forced the Prince Qing's Mansion to protect him, and then swaggered into Beijing to see him!
Now that he came up with such a shameless and obscene plan to insult Gao Chen's wife and conspire to secretly send assassins, he thought that Gao Chen could become the crown prince after his death?Could it be that the great and splendid country should be handed over to such a despicable person?If this is the case, how can I face the underground ancestors in the next hundred years? !
Besides, since he dared to kill his father and disregarded the feelings of his brothers, if such a heartless and unrighteous person ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, wouldn't all the royal family members suffer?As for the courtiers and common people, it will not end well.

No matter what, this scourge cannot be left behind.

"Come here!" Emperor Longyan was furious, and shouted: "Arrest King Yan and send him to the clan's residence!"

King Yan's face turned pale immediately.

Concubine Mei became anxious, "Your Majesty, no..."

"Why not!" Xianhui sneered in her heart, and deliberately jumped out to accuse: "Your Majesty, what are you so anxious for the Emperor to deal with King Yan? Who are you to him?!"

"I..." Concubine Mei was choked, yes, what position do I stand to plead for King Yan?At first I argued for the Mei family's children, which was justified, but when I went around here, I was stunned by them, and I lost my mouth and defended for King Yan.

He even prevented King Yan from taking him away, which is unreasonable anyway.

Xianhui pointed at King Yan with an angry look on her face, "Bah! Don't look at your appearance, but in fact, you are a beast inside. If you don't get rid of it, it will only harm you for a hundred years!" Intentionally anxiously persuaded: " Concubine, don't be fooled by his appearance."

Concubine Mei almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

What she meant was that she was clearly saying that she looked at Yan Wang's handsomeness and fell in love with him!Just fart!He was so angry that he rushed up in three steps and two steps, gritted his teeth and said, "It's against you! How dare you speak such nonsense, are you looking for death?"

"Help!" Xianhui screamed and hid behind Empress Wu in fright, crying in a panic: "This concubine is just scolding the King of Yan, why is the concubine so anxious? Concubine, what is wrong with the concubine? If you point it out, the concubine's identity will be changed immediately..."

"You, you..." Concubine Mei was trembling with anger, unable to speak.

Empress Wu was about to burst into laughter, but with a stern face, she scolded: "Xianhui, don't be rude to the noble concubine!"

Concubine Mei wished to tear Xianhui up on the spot, but she hid behind the queen, even if she was furious, she knew that the queen would definitely protect her.I can't let her keep talking nonsense like this, otherwise it will get worse and worse!Immediately turned around, and cried to the emperor: "Your Majesty, make decisions for your concubines."

"What do you want to do?" The emperor's face was already so ugly that it couldn't be any more ugly, and he yelled at Concubine Mei Gui: "What does the matter of King Yan have to do with you? Shut up!"

Concubine Mei knew that something was wrong!He secretly hated it, and blamed that bitch Princess of the Four Counties for instigating her.

Empress Wu pinched Xianhui quietly, signaling her to stop talking. At this moment when the emperor was in a rage, don't get angry, don't talk too much.The current emperor has become an angry lion. No matter who provokes him, he will die!

How could Xianhui not understand?Immediately bowed his head, with a gentle and well-behaved look.

The emperor scolded General Liang, "Why don't you take him away quickly? Do you want to piss me off? Get out!"

General Liang hurried forward and grabbed King Yan, "Get up! Let's go."

Yan Wang's heart suddenly seemed to sink into the abyss!

Once he was sent to the clan's mansion, no matter what the outcome was, no matter how the Mei family dealt with it, it would be a huge mark on his reputation.Even if he could push everything to the Mei family, survive, and even barely escape, he would definitely have no chance with the crown prince.

If he loses, not to mention Gao Chen, even those brothers will not spare him!

——Absolutely cannot sit still!
There is no way, only the last move is a risky move.

"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation." He struggled desperately, pretending to be wronged, "I really don't know anything about the assassin. I was drunk at the time." Knowing martial arts, he was no match for the commander of the imperial guards at all, so he was quickly dragged to the door.

Just as he was about to disappear, King Yan suddenly shouted, "Young Concubine! Help me."

Concubine Mei's eyelids twitched immediately.

This sentence is the most dangerous signal of the previous agreement to calculate Gao Chen.

"How presumptuous!" The emperor glared at Concubine Mei Gui, "I want to see how capable you are in saving him!"

Although she didn't believe Xianhui's instigation, she believed that Concubine Mei had a crush on King Yan.But at that moment just now, the fact that Concubine Mei Gui and King Yan had a close relationship was already clearly revealed.King Yan actually dared to ask Concubine Mei Gui to save him in front of his face!The two of them worked hand in hand, it was lawless!
Now that there is no crown prince, it is understandable for the concubines to plan for the future.

But no matter which royal family member you want to support, you have to choose a decent one, right?Character can't be wrong, right?Look at the indecent means used by King Yan and Meijia, thinking that if Gao Chen's reputation is ruined and he is killed, the world will belong to them?Such an unscrupulous person, why is he called the crown prince?Impossible!
"Your Majesty calm down, it's important to take care of your health." Empress Wu persuaded with a worried expression on her face, "Since the truth of the matter has come to light, I will leave the matter of King Yan to the Clan House for disposal, and there will be a result."

Right now, the establishment of a reserve is still unclear, and the emperor is not in good health, so don't get angry.If the emperor died suddenly, it would be a mess, a tsunami, a catastrophe, and a catastrophe.

The emperor couldn't know what the empress was thinking, seeing that she cared about him, he was very pleased, and the anger on his face dissipated a lot, so he said: "Let's all step down."

"Yes, we're leaving first." Empress Wu pulled Xianhui and saluted together.
