The unlucky county princess and the crown prince

Everyone can see the haze in the Yangxin hall. Although the emperor summoned Kang Lebo, he didn't completely believe his words. Moreover, the light the emperor looked at King Luo even had a chilly smell.

Obviously, the emperor also suspected that King Luo had colluded with Kang Lebo in advance, and they joined hands to deceive him. No matter what, the murderer died in King Luo's house. No matter what, King Luo could not get rid of this.

Xuanyuanluo is also secretly anxious. If there is only the little beggar's testimony, he has a way to justify himself. The problem is that xuanyuanjue spread rumors ahead of time, creating the impression that he colluded with the murderer. Now not only Yue Xian is aggressive, but even his father's sight of himself is not as trusting as before.

Xuanyuanluo knew his father. He could accept cruelty and cruelty, but cheating was the most intolerable thing. Once his father decided that he had cheated him in the murder of Xu, he would have killed the trust between him and his son.

It's very easy for trust to collapse. It's more difficult to rebuild, especially the emperor's trust.

"King Luo." The emperor's voice awakened Xuanyuan Luo from his anxiety and subconsciously said, "father Huang?"

Although there are two possibilities in the emperor's mind at present. One is that the matter is really related to King Luo, and the other is that King Luo was framed. In fact, his heart is more inclined to the first one.

"Your Majesty, King Rui is asking to see you outside the hall." The shrill voice of xiaohuangmen is particularly abrupt in the dead and deep atmosphere of Yangxin hall.

"What did he come for?" The emperor frowned more tightly. Although rui'er was equally expensive as the prince, she had already opened the palace to build teeth, but she had not worked in the imperial court, and she had not done any errands. She was a real leisurely prince. Huifei offered her advice and asked to work in the imperial court after rui'er was appointed as the imperial concubine. The emperor had agreed.

But I don't want to think that before the two princes got married, there was no peace in Beijing at all. There have been many storms and waves all the time, and even the wedding was not as sensational as last year's wedding.

Xiaohuangmen had obviously expected that the emperor would ask, "King Rui said it had something to do with the case your majesty is trying."

"What?" As soon as Xiao Huangmen said this, everyone was very confused. How could this matter be related to Rui Wang again?

The emperor also showed doubts. Originally, this case made him unhappy. Seeing that things became more and more complicated, his face became more gloomy. "Pass him in."

Xuanyuanrui didn't step into Yangxin hall many times. In addition, all the important ministers in the court were present, and what he was discussing was a big event. Therefore, his arrival seemed somewhat strange.

"My son's ministers see my father." Xuanyuanrui said in a loud voice.

Xuanyuan Luo doesn't understand why rui'er suddenly came in at this time. Because she didn't string well in advance, she has no bottom of her heart at the moment.

"What can I do for you?" The emperor stares at xuanyuanrui. Although the dragon is not healed, the emperor's momentum of not being angry for many years is still frightening.

"When I return to my father, my son's ministers come to accept the guilt." Xuanyuanrui said every word.

If the untimely arrival of King Rui just now seems a bit strange, now King Rui's words are more like throwing quicklime on the already restless water surface. The deep still water boils up and almost bursts into the pan.

But all of you are very deep-seated people. Although you were shocked and surprised, you can still control it well. The emperor was already a little tired, but seeing what king Rui said, he raised his eyebrows and said, "what crime do you want?"

Xuanyuan Jue's eyes turn deep. Rui'er's arrival is unusual. Since it's unusual, it's natural to do something unusual.

Xuanyuanluo has some kind of foreboding, isn't it?

Xuanyuanrui pursed his lips, as if he had made a great determination. "The case of Xu's murder was caused by his son's minister behind his back."

This, even the emperor was surprised, "Teng" to stand up, "what do you say?"

All the people in the hall were shocked, and Yue Xian was even more stunned. All the others, except the prince, were stunned and forgot to respond.

The Emperor didn't seem to believe his ears. "What do you say?"

Xuanyuanrui ignored the different eyes and said in a loud voice: "it's the son minister who bribed the killer and killed Xu Da Shi."

Xuanyuan Luo has an unspeakable shock at the bottom of his heart. This emperor's younger brother, who he always thinks is idle, will come out to answer the blame for him at the critical moment?

What should I do? What should I do? Rui'er appears so suddenly that Xuanyuan Luo is caught off guard and can't think of any countermeasures at all.

Xuanyuanjue's eyes pass quickly, surprised. Although I don't know what rui'er has experienced, I'm sure rui'er has changed.

The atmosphere of Yangxin hall was so dull that it was suffocating. For a long time, the emperor calmed down and slowly spat out two words, "is it you?"

Xuanyuanrui had never seen his father look at himself with this kind of vision, and he was frightened when he looked at him, but in order to keep his brother, he had to grit his teeth and insist, "yes."

The emperor was not strong enough. With the help of Duke Huang, he sat down again. Suddenly he sneered, "why?"

Xuanyuanrui said slowly: "Xu had offended his son."

"In detail." The emperor's voice was tinged with surprise.

Xuanyuanrui said: "at the end of last year, before the prince's wedding, it was just a small matter for the children's minister to drive out of the house and have a conflict with the Xu family ', When he saw a scholar in a poetry society writing a poem to praise the prince and his concubine, he mocked her son, saying that Princess Jiangxia is a noble, elegant and bright pearl. Fortunately, she has retired from her marriage, otherwise she would be a bright pearl. "

Is there such a thing? A suspicious look appeared in the emperor's eyes

"Yes Xuanyuan Rui said indignantly, "my son is also the son of Xuanyuan royal family. Even if he is in a bad situation with Princess Jiangxia, he will never allow anyone to desecrate the dignity of the royal family and my son."

Rui Wang said that, on the contrary, it increased the credibility of the matter, because the emperor always thought that missing the marriage with Princess Jiangxia was always a thorn in rui'er's heart. Therefore, if master Xu really said something about it, it would certainly arouse rui'er's strong anger.

However, it was not so easy for the emperor to believe it. He narrowed his eyes and said, "because of this, you have a grudge and bought the murder of Xu Da Shi?"

Xuanyuan ruihen said: "others may think it's ridiculous, but Er Chen always remembers it clearly. At that time, his eyes were full of disdain, disdain, scorn and ridicule. He put them in his heart like a sharp blade. Er Chen was the prince, but in his eyes, he was like a clown. It was not worth mentioning. Fortunately, Princess Jiangxia knew people and stopped the loss in time, Otherwise, it would be a lifelong mistake. His words made my son's minister feel like a thorn in his throat. He swore at that time that he would take revenge. "

The hall is quiet, only xuanyuanrui's voice full of hatred reverberates in the hall, as if it contains the power of hell.

It's not impossible for xuanyuanrui to kill him just because of Xu's words.

Yue Xian twisted a deep gully in his brow. "Your Majesty, Xu is gentle and elegant. In my humble opinion, he can't say such vicious words."

"Everyone knows his face and doesn't know his heart. Everyone has an unknown side. When the rabbit is in a hurry, there are times when he bites. The clay figurine is also angry. Besides, the first assistant was not present at that time. Why are you so sure that Xu would not say such a thing?"

It's xuanyuanluo who is talking. In a short time, he has made a decision. Since rui'er comes forward, he will play a trick.

The emperor is noncommittal, coldly looking at Xuan Yuanrui, "how do you do it?"

Before xuanyuanrui came to the court, he had already figured out the countermeasures. "He didn't dare to deceive his father. He had nothing to do on weekdays. He liked to linger in major restaurants and teahouses and made some friends in the market. With a heavy reward, he found a professional killer in the river and lake. He got rid of the thorn in the flesh for him."

In his heart, Yue Xian always thought that the real backstage was king Luo. He asked angrily, "even if it just makes sense, why did the killer end up in King Luo's house instead of King Rui's?"

This doubt is also the doubt of others, but xuanyuanrui's answer is impeccable. "Although the killer killed Xu, he not only didn't clean up his work and left witnesses, but also was greedy. Relying on the upsurge of the news in the capital, he repeatedly asked for more money from his son. As long as he didn't agree, he threatened him and said that he would report on him, The son minister is not very vexed, then moved to get rid of his idea

Yue Xian sneered, "King Rui is ruthless."

"I'm forced." Xuanyuanrui clenched his teeth, as if he hated the dead Master Xu and the professional killer. "One of them insulted Wang wantonly by virtue of his seniority, and the other threatened Wang constantly because of his hunger. They all deserve to die!"

The whole hall was filled with the voice of Xuanyuan Rui hating drugs. "My son knew that the imperial brother's house was heavily guarded and the bodyguard was highly skilled in martial arts, so he wanted to use a knife to kill people. That night, my son pretended to let him go to the imperial brother's house to hide, saying that he would kill the witness. If he failed, he would hide in the imperial brother's house. No one dared to search it. It was absolutely safe. To show his sincerity, my son returned the drawings of his imperial brother's house, He believes it, but he doesn't know that he just wants to get rid of this greedy bastard by his brother's soldiers. "

Xuanyuan Luo said: "rui'er, do you want to kill people with a knife?"

"Brother!" Xuanyuanrui was full of regret. "My brother was confused, but I really couldn't help it. He kept blackmailing my brother, and the case of master Xu was so big. My brother was in a panic all day. He just wanted to solve the problem quickly. His martial arts skills were excellent, and my brother's soldiers were not sure. I didn't dare to do it rashly. My concubine wanted to borrow my brother's soldiers, but I didn't want to implicate him, My brother deserves to die. "

In a moment of silence, Yue Xian suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the little beggar once said that he heard the conversation between the killer and his highness. If you let the little beggar listen to the voice again, you can tell who he heard at that time?"

The emperor immediately agreed, "pass on Dong er."

Not long after Dong Er gang was taken down, he was brought up again. The emperor said, "listen, whose voice did you hear that day?"

Dong Er did hear someone speak that day, but Wang Luo and Wang Rui were brothers, and their voices were very low at that time. Now it was not easy to distinguish them clearly. He could not hear them twice, so he had to say truthfully, "the grass people can't hear them."

With a cold face, the emperor asked people to take Dong Er down again. Yue Xian and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were staring at the case. Naturally, they wanted to find out the truth, and it didn't matter whether King Luo was involved in it. But if King Luo was involved, the crown prince would be more independent in the future, and the court might lose its balance.

Yue Xian is a little disappointed. Although he is not sure whether what king Rui said is true or false, if he wants to say that King Luo is completely innocent, he will not believe it. But what can he do if he does not believe it?

King Rui voluntarily takes all the blame. King Luo suddenly changes and becomes the victim of innocent involvement. Looking back at the prince, he always looks calm, as if it had been expected by him.

"You've been hiding for so long, why do you want to come out and make your own debut now? Have you found your conscience? " The emperor asked angrily.

Xuanyuanrui's pretty face was firm. "My son's son made a big mistake when he thought about it. She killed Xu's great master, and then Mrs. Xu died. Now the Xu family is ruined. It's all my son's fault. My son can't find time to repent. But I don't want to implicate others. I'll have another sin."

Xuanyuanluo was very surprised to hear that Mrs. Xu had passed away. Because he hurried into the palace, he didn't have time to know the news. At this time, it had been spread all over the world.

Yue Xian only felt that his blood was surging up. The good Xu family was so ruined that he shuddered. "I beg your majesty to do justice for the Xu family.

Seeing that rui'er looked as if he were going to die, the emperor was very angry. "You are a rebellious son. You have made such a murder behind my back. Somebody, drag him out to me“

Xuanyuanluo was shocked and pleaded in a hurry. "Rui'er was just confused for a moment and asked for his father's mercy“

The prince also knelt down and pleaded, "father Huang, rui'er is young and vigorous, which leads to a big mistake. Please forgive him for his sincere repentance“

”Sincerely repent“ The emperor laughed angrily. He grabbed a pot from the case and smashed it at xuanyuanrui. Xuanyuanrui didn't dare to dodge. He hit the middle of his brow and a stream of heat ran down his cheek.

This scene shocked the people in Yangxin hall. How could the emperor be so angry when he was ill? Yue Xian and others knelt down, "Your Majesty, calm down“

Xuanyuanrui doesn't dare to wipe it. Xuanyuanluo's mood is very complicated. Rui'er has been spoiled since childhood. His father has always connived at him, but he doesn't want to be the one who hit him in the face for the first time today.

The blood flowed down rui'er's white cheek. The emperor was still angry. Although he was exhausted and dizzy, he still bit his teeth and almost yelled, "my son, who murdered the official of the imperial court and cabinet, how do you want me to explain to the civil and military officials“

Xuanyuanrui clenches his teeth and looks like he's ready to kill or cut. Others sweat for him. Seeing that the emperor is so angry that he's ready to kill, maybe he'll put Rui king to death in order to secure the court.

Xuanyuan Jue advised: "rui'er is young, and has time to teach him slowly. My son's ministers implore my father to take care of the dragon body“

In fact, he is very clear that rui'er's words may not be believed by his father, but in front of Shoufu and others, his father just went down this step.

Xuanyuanrui only lowered his head and was determined to die. His blood dropped to the ground of Yangxin hall, swimming into blood spots.

The emperor took a hard look at Xuanyuan Rui and said in a cold voice, "King Rui ignored the law of the imperial court and bought a murderer to kill the official of the imperial court“

Originally to the emperor's mouth of the word "Zhu", when he saw the bloodstain on rui'er's forehead, he couldn't bear it for a moment, and the export became "pardon".

Keenly aware of the change of his father's tone, xuanyuanluo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, leaving the Castle Peak in no worries about firewood, just to save her life.

Similarly, other people have noticed the difference. Yue Xian is even more disappointed. But it is reasonable for the emperor to do so. Although the prince has committed the same crime as the common people, in fact, there are few examples. Can't he really kill King Rui to pay for his life?

Xuanyuanjue catches a glimpse of King Luo's relaxed brows, and an imperceptible light radian appears on her lips. Although rui'er is romantic and naughty, she is not ready to commit the vicious act of buying and killing people.

I'm afraid my father knew this, but since he didn't say it, xuanyuanjue would not have made it clear.

Of course, the Emperor didn't want to punish rui'er severely, but with so many eyes on her, rui'er confessed himself, and the crime was so serious that no heavy punishment was enough to convince the public. "From now on, you will be deprived of the title of Prince Rui, and you will be forbidden to go out of Rui's palace without permission“

Although the punishment was heavy, it was much lighter than xuanyuanluo had originally thought. Seeing his father's anger, he was most worried that his father would kill rui'er in anger.

Although Yue Xian was disappointed, he also knew that it was impossible for the prince to pay for his life. It was a very severe punishment to deprive him of the title of Prince. "Your Majesty's kindness will surely be appreciated by the great master Xu and his wife“

The blood on xuanyuanrui's face was everywhere, and he didn't look as elegant as before. He put his hands on the ground, "he said“

Xuanyuanjue's sneer was hidden in his eyes. His father's treatment seemed severe, but in fact he left some leeway. He only said that he would deprive the prince of his title, but he did not say why he was demoted. Whether he was demoted to be a princess, a marquis or a commoner, he was afraid that his father did not think well for a moment, so he left some leeway.

Judging from Xuanyuan Luo's reaction, it seems that he didn't expect that rui'er would suddenly come out to answer the charge, but then he took advantage of the situation to play a move to protect the commander and escape.

After dealing with this serious case, the emperor waved his hand wearily, "all step back“

Dai Qing, commander of the imperial guards, escorts Xuanyuan Rui back to his house. From now on, Rui's house will be a place of confinement, no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

The emperor stares at rui'er's drooping body and goes out slowly from the Yangxin hall. He closes his eyes slightly and is about to stand up. Suddenly he is in the dark and faints.

Mr. Huang was shocked, and his voice was crying with fear, "Your Majesty... Your majesty... Taiyi... Taiyi“

In one day, two imperial edicts shocked the government and the public. One was that King Rui violated the palace rules, angered Tianyan, deprived the title of Prince, and was imprisoned in the government. The other was that the emperor needed to rest, and ordered the crown prince to supervise the country and take charge of the government.
