Chapter 77
The corner of Emperor Zhao's mouth evoked a cool arc, and he naturally didn't believe a word of what Jiang Niannian said.
"Even if you are weak now, it means that you are not Concubine Chen. You are not Concubine Chen, where did Concubine Chen go." Emperor Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone suddenly sank: "Sister Jiang, you again What are you going to make up! Do you think I will still believe you!" As
he spoke, he had already held her wrist, as if he was enduring something. The blue veins on the pale and handsome face were slightly bulging: "I know that you have a grudge in your heart, so you seduced Prime Minister Gu, right?"
Jiang Niannian subconsciously took a breath.
The original owner's skin was originally delicate, and the male owner seemed to have exerted a lot of strength, and soon a shallow crimson appeared. Jiang Niannian said: "...Your Majesty, you should let go."
Emperor Zhao's expression was half-smiling: "Concubine Chen, but you didn't talk to me like this before. After marrying into the Prime Minister's Mansion, you really changed."
Jiang Niannian bit her lip subconsciously.
She felt that the reason why the male protagonist was so angry was not just because she was daring and chose to marry the prime minister. In addition, his identity is a monarch, and on this basis, others can only look up to him. His women are also attached to him and obey all his wishes. How could anyone dare to act recklessly and think about getting rid of his control!
"The court lady told you that I'm not Concubine Chen, but His Majesty doesn't believe it, and now he says I've changed." Jiang Niannian's eyes turned cold, and after a while, the corners of his lips curved into a slightly sarcastic arc, and he finally said: " ...Your Majesty, so you can think what you like." I can only wish you that you will always be alone and lonely.
Emperor Zhao could not help frowning.
How could he believe the rumors of reviving the soul from a dead body and chaotic powers. Jiang Shi is trying to escape his control through this bizarre statement. It was as if she just said a few words, and she could break away from her previous identity as a palace concubine. As a monarch, he is not a fool who lets people play with applause.
"However, according to your current status, you shouldn't continue to tell me these things." Jiang Niannian lowered her eyes and continued: "The minister's wife entered the palace today to participate in the palace banquet, just for the identity of the prime minister's residence, and other things, It doesn't matter at all. What you do is not in line with the rules at all. If the Queen Mother finds out, she will be suspicious of the courtier's wife. Isn't it?"
Emperor Zhao sneered: "...Who would dare to doubt the Prime Minister's wife?" Hong, who was very close to her ear: "Jiang Niannian, are you afraid of being criticized by others? Concubine Chen, even if you are a messy palace, when you did those terrible things, you never thought about it. "
Emperor Zhao is handsome and handsome, and he is a man who will be tempted by any woman who sees him. But Jiang Niannian looked at this indifferent and noble face at this time, and for some reason, she only felt disgusting. It was even a bit of an eyesore, wishing that I just wanted to break free of him and go away.
When a man is warm, he will coax you a few words, and if he is unhappy, he will control your life and death, and will only arouse his desire to control when he cannot find it. This was originally chilling. Even if he is the person that so many women in the harem fall in love with, Jiang Niannian will never be afraid because he is the monarch.
Jiang Niannian's expression finally returned to his indifference, he let go of his hand, and opened a distance. The girl's brows and eyes were originally childish, but there was no trace of turbulence in her eyes, as cold as a piece of ice: "Your Majesty, if you don't listen, I can't help it. I'll go first."
"Your Majesty, you are here. What are you doing?" There was a cold voice at that time, Jiang Niannian looked up and saw that it was Gu Changqing.
He looked at Emperor Zhao coldly for a long time, his lips moved slightly, and then he said, "Niannian, come to my side."
Jiang Niannian's expression has been tense, and he has fallen into a high degree of tension. Now that I heard this familiar voice, I finally breathed a long sigh of relief. For some reason, there was a bit of sourness in my heart, and the eye sockets also became wet.
She opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything and threw herself into Gu Changqing's arms.
Gu Changqing paused slightly, caressed Jiang Niannian's shoulder, and said warmly, "Silly girl, haven't I already arrived?"
Jiang Niannian said softly, "...I know."
Gu Changqing raised her jaw, wiped the water stains from the corners of her eyes, and asked, "Then why are you crying?" He lowered
his waist and said in a low voice, "Sir, I'm too embarrassed to ask... If you don't come, I won't cry."
Gu Changqing naturally understood her thoughts.
Jiang Niannian is not a timid girl, she is alert at the bottom of her heart. Even if he doesn't come here today, she will be able to get out of her body safely and will not ask Concubine Jia to figure it out. It's just that every little daughter will hope that her husband will always be there to protect her.
"But, I can't bear you to cry, so I can only leave, right?" Gu Changqing stopped by her ear when he held her waist, and said, "Nian Nian knows you are like this, I feel sorry for you. ."
Jiang Niannian clenched his sleeve robe subconsciously, and said softly: "Sir, you are not allowed to leave, otherwise, I will cry."
Gu Changqing laughed, but his expression still did not fluctuate. "It's unreasonable." He said softly.
Jiang Niannian's eyes turned even redder, "I didn't know that the adults disliked me so much."
Gu Changqing kissed her long hair: "How can I know that, when we return to the house, I will apologize for your husband. Remember That's right ."
At the same time, Gu Changqing glanced at Xu Zhiyu neither lightly nor lightly, but there was no joy or anger in her normally indifferent eyes.
Xu Zhiyu trembled at the sight of him.
She seemed to see through Gu Changqing's cold eyes what he was thinking. He wanted to say that Jiang Niannian was so in love, how could he betray him to seduce His Majesty.
But she still never imagined that Gu Changqing and Jiang Niannian would do these gentle things like no one else in front of the Heavenly Family. However, what she didn't even think about was what kind of temperament Gu Changqing had. When he was gentle with a woman, he actually looked like this.
If she said that it was just hatred and unwillingness, she can no longer discern the emotions in her heart now. She fought for so long, but she still found nothing, maybe there is only sadness left in her heart?
Gu Changqing patted the girl in his arms again, signaling her to feel at ease. There was no warmth in his eyes. First he passed over Emperor Zhao, then fell on Xu Zhiyu, and asked lightly, "Empress Jia, this is what you said, is my wife seducing Your Majesty?"
Xu Zhiyu smiled, only reluctantly. He said: "Master Prime Minister, if Jiang Shi was not seducing His Majesty, how could His Majesty treat her differently. Sir, can you believe it yourself?"
Gu Changqing asked again, "Are you sure?"
Xu Zhiyu's lips twitched, yes With those indifferent eyes, her heart was inexplicably a little chilling: "...sure."
Jiang Niannian's heart sank, and now he finally understood the intention of the heroine.
——It turned out that she was waiting here.
Xu Zhiyu already knew that the male protagonist might come to talk to her, so she dragged the queen mother in to witness. So that I can put a hat on myself as Chen's wife and seduce His Majesty. In this way, it can destroy the reputation of the original owner, and more importantly for her, it can alienate the relationship between Gu Changqing and herself.
Newlyweds, the friendship should not be so deep. What's more, she was once a concubine in the palace, and her identity was naturally carried here. Gu Changqing may not believe her wholeheartedly.
...Speaking of which, the heroine is really deep in thought.
Gu Changqing's lips twitched, but there was no response, and she asked, "Niannian, do you have any?"
Jiang Niannian's eyes were beautiful, and there was still some water mist. Hearing this sentence, he seemed angry and looked at him: "Sir , you don't believe me?"
Gu Changqing's lips curved, "Silly girl, I believe you in everything."
"Empress Jia, have you heard? The family has already said it, but she didn't." When he turned around again, his face was pale: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager. Concubine Jia spread rumors to cause trouble, Divorce the relationship between the ruler and the minister, and slander the wife of the minister, please handle it yourself!"
This sentence, on the surface, is a request, but such a tone and wording can be said to be coercive.
Xu Zhiyu's pupils shrank suddenly: "Gu Changqing! You have no basis and no evidence, how can you prove Jiang's innocence and assert that this palace is spreading rumors and causing trouble?"
Gu Changqing smiled slightly: "I said no, but it is not. I wouldn't do such a thing."
"Lord Prime Minister Yuan can't produce any evidence." After Xu Zhiyu was silent for a moment, she sneered, "Prime Minister Gu, then you... that's just the way it is. I thought that the Prime Minister was the prime minister. The adults are so powerful that they can't even protect their own women."
Xu Zhiyu felt a pain in her heart, and at this moment, she was a little unwilling to say anything, and even the queen mother showed a disapproving expression. Qingxue repeatedly hinted that Empress should pay attention to her words, but Xu Zhiyu didn't listen to a word.
She just wanted to vent!
She said that Jiang's seduction, Jiang's is guilty! If she hadn't taken the initiative to seduce, how could Gu Changqing have her way?
Jiang Niannian looked at the heroine, but felt that she was a little out of her mind. She had never seen a person do this, constantly numbing herself, but pouring dirty water on others with all her might.
"Xu Zimao." Gu Changqing suddenly said in a deep voice.
Xu Zimao's expression froze: "What is your order?"
Gu Changqing looked straight into Xu Zhiyu's eyes, and said coldly, word by word, "I will immediately bring the maid next to the concubine Jia into the Department of Sanitation and Punishment, and order them to be severely tortured. , and asked who actually spread the rumor. If she dared to say a false statement, she would cut her tongue!"
He paused slightly, then said, "It's tonight, I want the result."
Xu Zimao was first surprised, Then he said: "I obey the orders."
Jiang Niannian naturally knew that Gu Changqing did this to rub the heroine's face on the ground. But he couldn't help reminding: "Sir, the Queen Mother is still here."
Gu Changqing pursed her lips slightly, turned to the Queen Mother, and instead asked: "As the Queen Mother is the head of the Six Palaces, it is the mother's responsibility to come forward. But, presumably The empress dowager wants to find out the truth, so if the minister does this, the empress will also support it?" The
empress dowager stood frozen in place for a while, looking at the prime minister's actions, a bit of anger rose in her heart, and she didn't take a breath. "You are the prime minister, and you shouldn't be a person in the harem." She finally said in a deep voice.
When Xu Zhiyu heard that Gu Changqing was going to torture Qingxue, she was already terrified and stupefied, but when she heard the Queen Mother's words, she seemed to grab a life-saving straw, knelt down and kowtowed and said, "What the Queen Mother said is very true! The Prime Minister is only a foreign minister, please The Empress Dowager must not let the Prime Minister intervene in this matter... The Empress Dowager, please think twice!"
Gu Changqing looked at her forcefully and said, "The rumors came from the mouth of Concubine Jia, if the minister does not question carefully, how can you return it? Nian Nian is innocent ?" "Ai Jia
can cross-examine for you, and then give the Prime Minister a truth." The Queen Mother looked at him and reluctantly said, "Let this matter be handed over to Ai Jia, how would the Prime Minister agree?"
"No need," Gu Changqing said. : "If Chen doesn't intervene, I'm afraid the Queen Mother will not be able to sort it out. There are rumors about Concubine Chen in the palace. Dare to ask the Queen Mother, when will it be cleared up?" The
Queen Mother's voice choked.
When she heard this sentence, Xu Zhiyu finally raised her head in disbelief, only ashes remained on her beautiful face. But there was no expression on Gu Changqing's handsome face.
He didn't care about her panic at all, he squatted down halfway, looked at her, and his lips moved: "Ms. Niang, did you forget? I reminded Niang Niang. No matter who dares to offend Madam, I will ask her to pay for her life." Besides, there are still people who dare to spread rumors and slander her!"
Gu Changqing's eyes were cold to the extreme, a little gloomy. Such a look only made Xu Zhiyu feel that even if Gu Changqing killed her immediately, he could do it.
