The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 321
In Xiao's mansion, Zhuyun took the clothes made by Xiuniang to Xiao Ruan and lined up in front of Xiao Ruan.

"Miss, the housekeeper has brought the clothes, you can try them on, if there is anything unsatisfactory, the servant will let them go back and fix it."

Xiao Ruan got up and chose a lake blue dress, and Zhu Yun and a few maidservants immediately helped her put it on.

Xiu Niang considered that her stomach was getting bigger day by day, so she deliberately left more space in her stomach, which was very much in line with Xiao's wishes.

This time she specially used the fabric sent by Zhao Yan to make clothes.

Although she doesn't like Zhao Yan, she has to admit that Zhao Yan has a good eye, and the color and pattern of the fabric are exactly what she likes.

"Miss is so beautiful in this color, she really looks like a fairy descending from the sky."

"Our lady looks like a fairy, so she looks good in any clothes."

Xiao Ruan knew that these little maids were deliberately flattering her, but she couldn't help but smile when they said everything.

Seeing this, Zhuyun hesitated, and was about to let the little maids go down, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside.

"Ma'am, it's not good..."

Everyone turned their heads in surprise, only to find that it was Li Yun who looked anxious.

Li Yun didn't expect that there would be so many people in Xiao Ruan's room, so he immediately swallowed the rest of the words, and when Zhu Yun saw Li Yun, he immediately understood that she must have heard the rumors outside, and took it with great interest. The little maid left the room.

Xiao Ruan had never seen Li Yun so anxious, and unconsciously frowned: "What's wrong?"

"Ma'am, it's the general, the general has been locked up by the emperor."

Li Yun took a breath, his voice was full of anxiety, but Xiao Ruan didn't believe it at all: "How is this possible? Today is the day of his triumphant return, how could the emperor..."

"It's true, the general was stopped by the Imperial Forest Army as soon as he arrived at the gate of the city with his army today, and he was taken directly to prison."

After finishing speaking, Li Yun said that the Yulin army took Huo Xun away in the name of collaborating with the enemy: "The Yulin army said that in order to make military achievements, the general leaked the defense plan of the garrison at the two passes of Shaoguang and Anding to the Xiluo people in advance, so that the Xiluo people They seized the pass. The Emperor Longyan was furious and ordered to thoroughly investigate this matter."

Leaked garrison defense map?
Xiao Ruan's heart sank, her first reaction was that Huo Xun was framed.

In her heart, anyone could leak military information, but Huo Xun would never.Huo Xun is indifferent to outsiders, but he is very kind in his heart.

There are more than [-] elite soldiers at Shaoguang and Anding, and tens of thousands of people in the city.Huo Xun would never do such a thing of disregarding the lives of the people and introducing foreign thieves.

"The servant also believes that the general will never do such a thing, but the general, his personal bodyguards and the main generals in the army have all been imprisoned for trial, and the servant has tried his best to fail to get in touch with them, so I am really worried. "

At the end of Li Yun's speech, he became more and more anxious, and looked at Xiao Ruan helplessly: "Madam, what should we do?"

Today is the day when Huo Xun came back triumphantly from Bianjian, she went to the city gate early in the morning to tell Xiao Ruan about the grand occasion of Huo Xun's triumphant return, but saw Huo Xun being taken away by the Imperial Forest Army.

"Huo Xun will never reveal military information, he must have been framed by someone."

Because of Li Yun's words, Xiao Ruan frowned more and more, but for a moment she was not sure what kind of humanity Huo Xun had suffered, and after frowning for a while, she finally raised her eyes.

"Since the emperor has imprisoned the general awaiting trial, it means that this matter must have room for reversal. You should pay close attention to this matter in the past few days, and tell me immediately if you have any news!"

Hearing this, Li Yun responded immediately.

Just as she walked to the door of the room, Xiao Ruan suddenly called her to stop again.

Glancing at the various dresses placed on the table, Xiao Ruan's face became more solemn: "When inquiring about information, you must be careful to hide it, and you must not let Duke Huai's people notice it."

"Madam, don't worry, this servant will never let anyone find out."

A few days later, in the court hall, all the officials stood quietly on both sides, and the emperor's face was full of gloom.

After staring intently at Huo Xun who was kneeling in the center of the hall for a long time, the emperor suddenly turned his gaze to the prince in front of the queue.

"Prince, how is your investigation of Huo Xun's collusion with foreign enemies?"

The prince was called out, and immediately came out of the queue, and saluted the emperor respectfully: "Father, my son has thoroughly investigated and found out that Huo Xun did have contacts with the Xiluo people."

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged! I had no contact with the Xiluo people before, so how can I collude with them? Moreover, if I have scruples with them, how can I get the leader of Xiluo to agree to pay tribute to our country?"

Hearing the prince's voice, Huo Xun immediately defended himself, worried that the emperor would not believe him, and couldn't help but said: "Your majesty, I exposed someone under the prince's bribery last time, and the prince may deliberately retaliate on this matter, I beg you You can let Duke Huai preside over the minister's case."

"Bold Huo Xun! You don't care about the lives of the people on the frontier for military merit. The crown prince's investigation is for the emperor's sake, and it is to avenge the innocent people who died in the frontier. Do you still want to question the emperor's decision?"

Huo Xun straightened his back and looked resolute. Before the emperor could speak, Lord Wang from the Ministry of Rites suddenly jumped out and yelled righteously.

"My lord Wang's words are wrong. I didn't question the emperor, but just didn't trust the prince. If the prince really intends to frame me, can I just let him harm me?"

Huo Xun turned his head, and glanced at Mr. Wang with cold eyes, his cold and stern expression made people feel nervous for no reason.Mr. Wang was stunned, but he couldn't say a word.

And everyone also remembered that the reason why the prince was placed under house arrest by the emperor was precisely because of Huo Xun's exposure, and when they looked at the prince again for a while, they were a little more suspicious.

"enough!"

The emperor listened to the argument between the two, but seeing that Huo Xun was still plausible, he said to the prince directly: "Show me your evidence!"

Because of Huo Xun's questioning, the prince looked at Huo Xun with colder and colder eyes. Hearing the emperor's call, he immediately shouted to the guards outside the vocal door: "Bring me up!"

As soon as the prince's voice fell, there were guards outside the door escorting two people into the hall one after the other.

"Father, these two are important witnesses of Huo Xun's collusion with foreign enemies. After listening to their words, you will definitely believe that what I said is not false."

The emperor glanced over the two of them, and immediately nodded to the prince.

"Your Majesty, my minister's name is Feng Chuang, and he is a bodyguard under General Huo. As early as years ago, the general asked his subordinates to call out the defense map of Shaoguang and Anding Pass. At that time, I didn't know why he did this. delivered to him."

The voice of the first man on the left fell, and a man dressed as a refugee in the middle also said: "Your Majesty, the Caomin are the refugees who escaped here from Shaoguang. Those Xiluo people who captured our Shaoguang Pass were indeed pretending to be General Huo. In the name of usurping our food and property."

Hearing the testimony of the two witnesses, Huo Xun's eyes were filled with shock.

Feng Chuang was indeed his subordinate, but he never asked him to adjust the defense map at all, and as for what the refugee said, it was even more false.

He was about to defend himself when Duke Huai suddenly stood up: "Father, I think that the two witnesses the crown prince found cannot prove General Huo's crime of collaborating with the enemy. If they lied, wouldn't we have wronged General Huo?" ?”

As soon as King Huai's voice fell, Huo Xun immediately nodded in agreement, but the prince clapped his hands calmly and asked the guards to bring another person.

The man was wearing a prison uniform, his hair was draped behind his back, his eyebrows were high, and he was a head taller than the guards beside him. There were still a lot of blood stains on the prison uniform.

Judging from his appearance, he was clearly a Xiluo.

"It's you? How dare you lie to me! I'm going to kill you!"

The man lowered his head, and there was no expression on his dark face.However, when passing by Huo Xun, he suddenly showed an angry expression, and Yang Zi's fist was about to hit Huo Xun in the face.

Everyone was taken aback by this sudden turn of events, the guard managed to control him, and the man looked angrily at the emperor and said in a cold voice: "You dishonest people from the Jin Dynasty, you clearly said you were going to show yourself, but you turned your back on what you said. , want me to pay tribute to Xiluo Nagong! It’s my bad luck that I, Gemuda, fell into your hands today.

Because of the words of the Xiluo man, the hall whispered for a while, but Huo Xun's face was ashen, he clearly knew this person.

Everyone secretly guessed the relationship between Huo Xun and this person, and suddenly saw the prince take out something from his arms and presented it to the emperor, they couldn't help showing curiosity.

"Father, this person is the Xiluo person that Huo Xun contacted at the beginning. They agreed at the beginning that Xiluo would attack Shaoguang and Anding to plunder property at will. Luo Ren paid tribute, and this man was kicked out by the leader of Xi Luo. At that time, he still had the contract signed with Huo Xun in his hand."

The emperor read the presented contract with a sullen face, and his originally angry face became even more annoyed, he threw the contract on the ground on the spot, and angrily reprimanded Huo Xun: "Huo Xun, now that there are all witnesses and evidences, what else do you have to say? "

"Your Majesty, I have never done such a thing before. I am really wronged. Please give me a clean slate." Huo Xun frowned, staring at the ball of paper in front of him.

Seeing this, Duke Huai stepped forward to pick up the ball of paper, and when he read the content on it, he immediately showed a deep look of surprise.

"General Huo, the signature and seal on this contract do not seem to be fake, you... well, my king trusts you so much, but you..."

Duke Huai shook his head regretfully, the contract was passed on to others, and then he cupped his hands towards the emperor and said, "Father, although the Huo family army was guilty, he still severely injured Xi Luo and got back the plundered things." The property, and making Xi Luo pay tribute every year, is considered more meritorious than demerit. I also hope that the father can deal with it lightly and give him a chance."

"Your brother's words are wrong. Huo Xun did injure Xi Luo severely, but his actions displaced tens of thousands of people in Shaoguang and Anding cities. If he was given a lighter punishment, who would ask for justice for those innocent people who died?" statement?"
