Chapter 406： Cleverness leads to misunderstanding

Chapter 406: Being clever turns out to be a mistake

“Mother, you are so kind!” The seventh prince smiled, and his tense body relaxed a little.

Everyone saw that his eyes were clear and innocent, and he spoke like a child. Their anger towards him turned into pity, and all their questioning eyes fell on Cheng Hong.

Except for the Seventh Prince, all the people present were human beings. With a little thought, they knew there was something fishy about this matter, especially since Princess Wuya echoed Cheng Hong's words. Could it be that these two people have been together for a long time?

The emperor was very angry, very angry, and looked at the people of the Wuya tribe coldly, "I will thoroughly investigate what happened today! If it is true that the seventh prince has evil intentions towards Princess Wuya, I will never tolerate it, but... if this matter is related to the seventh prince, It has nothing to do with the prince, no matter who he is, I will punish him severely!"

"Emperor Qi! That's wrong. It's obviously our princess who is in trouble. Why don't you make the decision for our princess? Could it be that our princess would have any evil thoughts towards a mentally retarded man?" Lan Sui Wenhan was very angry. , both eyes are spitting fire.

The emperor sneered and gave Princess Wuya a meaningful look, "I don't know what Princess Wuya is thinking, but since you want to avenge Princess Wuya, I naturally want to investigate this matter clearly! Wuya! Princess Ya, what are you doing here?"

This place is really remote, and it is not a place in the palace reserved for guests to rest and sober up. It is dark all around, and there is not even a palace official to greet them. It is far-fetched to say that it is far-fetched to rest here.

"I saw a person sneaking here, so I followed him." Princess Wuya clenched her fists. At this point, she could only tell the truth. Anyway, as long as she didn't say who the person was, there wouldn't be many others. think.

“There are still people!” Everyone whispered.

Cheng Jiaojiao thought of her layout. At that time, she clearly saw the third son of the Marquis of Guang'en leaving the Chengqing Palace and going to the back hall. How could he stay out of it? She immediately gritted her teeth, stepped forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty, , the little girl remembered it. At that time, the little girl seemed to have seen the young master coming here. Because she had seen him at her grandfather's house, the little girl had some impressions. "

Hearing this, Cui Guang's eyes widened with anger, and the rest of the Cui family looked at Cheng Jiaojiao in disbelief.

Tang suppressed her anger and reminded in a low voice: "Jiaojiao, don't talk nonsense!"

Cheng Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and raised her pitiful little face, "Grandma, I really saw it, why don't you believe me."

Tang closed her eyes in despair and stopped looking at Cheng Jiaojiao.

The emperor's eyes fell on Yang Santie, "What's going on?"

Yang Santie immediately stepped forward, bowed and saluted, his eyes full of innocence, "Yang Changsong paid homage to the emperor. Changsong went to the palace with his mother for a banquet today. He never thought that he would meet sister Xiaohua at the palace banquet. Changsong just didn't understand why sister Xiaohua In the palace, Changsong met Xiaohua's father before coming to Beijing and wanted to convey a few words to his father.

I happened to see her going out to pick up a ball, so I followed her out to ask her a few words. Unexpectedly, there was no sign of Sister Xiaohua when she went out, so she could only try to look for her nearby. Unfortunately, before Changsong could find anyone, he heard some noise coming from here and turned back. "

This explanation is exactly in line with what the Seventh Prince said. The Seventh Prince was not mentally sound and could not lie. However, they did not see Yang Changsong when they came over. The other party was frank and unafraid, and they knew what he was telling the truth.

Cheng Jiaojiao's face was livid, and she still refused to let Yang Changsong go at this time. Instead, she questioned, "This young master keeps talking about little sister Xiaohua, and I don't know whether it is true or not!"

"Cheng Jiaojiao!" Tang couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to step forward and slap Cheng Jiaojiao hard. Due to the presence of the emperor and empress, she didn't dare to act rashly, so she knelt down and admitted her mistake, "Your Majesty, the Empress, Jiaojiao has never seen much of the world. , I don’t know how to be sensible. I will be a good housekeeper when I go back.” The emperor snorted, “I haven’t seen half of the generosity, courtesy, gentleness and virtuousness that a woman should have! She should be well disciplined by the Cheng family and respect the virtues of a nun. "Come here, tell me, Cheng Dongjiang has no way to educate his daughter. He will be fined for one year and reduced to half a grade."

Tang's face was as white as a sheet of fright, and she responded in panic.

Cui Yudie stayed there in disbelief, dripping with cold sweat, and didn't even react.

Wang quickly helped Tang up, and found that her hands were trembling, and she became frightened.

Cheng Jiaojiao couldn't believe what she heard. What she said was obviously true, so why did the emperor teach her a lesson and punish her father? unfair!

She wanted to say something more, but seeing Cui Guang looking at her seriously, she could only hold back and remain silent.

At this moment, Yang Xiaohua came in from outside, walking in a hurry, and knelt down, "Public girl Yang Xiaohua pays homage to the emperor, the queen."

The queen frowned and asked, "Xiaohua, where did you go just now?"

“Sister Xiaohua, sister Xiaohua, play ball.” The seventh prince was happy again.

Yang Xiaohua couldn't help but turned her head and wiped her tears, but stopped talking.

The queen turned a little pale, and hurriedly coaxed her nanny to take the seventh prince out, and then asked: "But where is Sister Concubine Shu?"

With tears in her eyes, Yang Xiaohua nodded heavily, her voice choked with sobs, "The folk girl came out to pick up the ball. The maid next to Concubine Shu came looking for her anxiously. Today's palace banquet, the folk girl didn't dare to say anything for fear of disturbing everyone's enjoyment, so she Leave through the back door and rush to Cui'an Palace, but it's still too late!"

"Your Majesty!" The Queen looked sad and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, "If Sister Shu Fei leaves like this, what should I do if I am left with the seventh child?"

The queen said, knelt down to the emperor on the spot, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, my sister Shu Fei had a very good relationship with me. Not long ago, I went to visit her. She kept holding my hand, hoping that I would take my place on her behalf." To take care of Lao Qi, I happen to have no children. Please ask your Majesty to adopt the seventh prince in my name. From now on, I will take care of Lao Qi instead of Concubine Shu. "

The Emperor Xu thought of some of his past with Concubine Shu, and because she had passed away, his face became a little sad. He breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded slowly, "I will do it according to the Queen's wishes!"

After saying that, the emperor opened his eyes again, and his gaze fell sharply on Cheng Jiaojiao, Princess Wuya of Chenghong. After a long time, he slowly said: "It is an indisputable fact that Princess Wuya and Cheng Hong had a private meeting in the side hall, and many people saw it. The two of you are in a group, which is detrimental to Princess Wuya's reputation. How does the princess think it should be dealt with?"

The emperor's words directly sealed the relationship between the two. Even Princess Wuya's rebuttal now is in vain.

Princess Wuya was very angry. Lan Sui Wendong and Lan Sui Wenhan were very angry. They pointed at Cheng Hong and wanted to kill him.

Cheng Hong was trembling with fear and yelled for help, "I just wanted to protect the princess, but I lost control in my desperation. You can't be so unreasonable!"

"Bah! Who wants the protection of a **** like you! You don't even urinate to show what you look like!" Lan Suiwendong scolded angrily.
