As soon as Qi Mo saw Fang Xiu entering the door, he was greatly frightened. His whole body was trembling and shaking, and his pupils were visibly trembling.
Seeing Fang Xiujin enter Kunning Palace, Wen Chu pulled Qi Mo over and pulled him behind her. She wanted to comfort him, but seeing him like that, he seemed to be unable to listen to anything he said. , the whole person seemed to have lost his mind.
Qi Mo couldn't listen, and Wen Chu had no choice but to stand with Li Weiyan, completely covering his figure.
Li Weiyan spoke first and asked Fang Xiu, "What does the palm print mean? I broke into Kunning Palace without permission. Is there a queen, and is there me, the crown prince?!"
Li Wei's words were cold and hard, completely different from the humble crown prince on weekdays, and he finally had a bit of a kingly air.
After Wen Chu came back, Li Weiyan finally had some confidence. This confidence came from Emperor Linghui, because he knew that no matter what he did, Emperor Linghui would never blame him again. Unlike in the past, no matter what he did, he had to be cautious in his words and actions, for fear that he would find something wrong and make him unhappy and use it to attack him.
With Wen Chu here, Emperor Ling Hui, at least for her sake, would no longer treat him as he did before, and he would not need to be as cautious as before.
Therefore, when he was with Wen Chu, he finally dared to rebuke Fang Xiu, without having to worry about the yin and yang that Emperor Linghui might unleash at any time.
Fang Xiu was not willing to be outdone. He cupped his hand and replied: "Your Highness is serious, I am here to catch the thief! If an assassin breaks into Kunning Palace, I will surely die. Damn it! I can tell you how hard I have worked so hard. Why does Your Highness miss me so much? "Have I offended His Highness?"
He kept keeping his posture to a minimum, all for the sake of their safety, but there was no hint of respect in his words and deeds. The last sentence "I have offended you." "Your Highness?" was a direct provocation.
The two parties were already incompatible with each other. The second prince and his party made provocations and offended the crown prince everywhere, but Fang Xiu actually dared to say such things.
Wen Chu didn't like him either. She said directly: "Who has offended whom?"
Her voice was silent, but at this moment, the surrounding people suddenly fell into confusion because of this voice. There was dead silence.
No one seemed to expect that she would suddenly speak.
She continued to question without waiting for Fang Xiu's reaction: "You suddenly entered Kunning Palace regardless of the instructions. Firstly, you did not take the Queen in your eyes. Secondly, you questioned His Highness the Crown Prince. What's more? He didn’t take His Highness seriously, and thirdly, when an assassin appeared, Palm’s first reaction was to search Kunning Palace. What did he mean? Did he think that the Queen would harbor the assassin, or did he think that His Highness would harbor the assassin?”
Wen Chu's questioning voice was particularly clear in the dead silence. No one expected that she would come out like this suddenly, but her voice, although neither loud nor rough, was just as sharp as a daughter's, but it was like a sharp arrow piercing her. Fang Xiu.
Even Qi Mo, who was protected by her behind him, calmed down a little.
Fang Xiu didn't expect Wen Chu's sudden questioning. He was caught off guard by the series of questions. He suddenly thought of a way to deal with it. He laughed twice and looked at Wen Chu with ill intentions. ,he Asked: "I don't know who this girl is? And I don't know in what capacity you are talking to me. Is it Her Royal Highness the Princess Li Zhaoxi? Or is she a pariah without a father and mother, Wen Chu? If it is Her Royal Highness the Princess, then... I don’t see you famous "
His eyes were like poisonous snakes, staring at her, and he suddenly raised his voice and asked, "If you are Wen Chu, how dare you talk to the imperial official like this!"
Wen Chu didn't fall for his trick. She raised her eyebrows at him wantonly, "You care who I am anymore? I am Li Zhaoxi or Wen Chu. What do I have to do with you? You want to accuse me of committing a crime?" Bullying and not following the rules?”
Fang Xiu snorted coldly, "No?"
"I am Wen Chu, so why can't I talk to Zhang Yin like this? Zhang Yin also knows that his position is not correct, so some words cannot be said, so I sincerely accept it. I have committed the crime of bullying, but I have confessed my crime, and Zhangyin should also confess."
Fang Xiu frowned, "What are you talking about?"
Wen? Chu replied: "You did rude things in Kunning Palace, didn't you never take the Crown Prince and the Queen seriously? Or maybe it's because Palm felt that he was older than the Queen or the Crown Prince, so he Can you act so recklessly? "
Fang Xiu's moral kidnapping tactics are useless on her. She has already received all kinds of infamy, how can he still scold her? If the other party Xiu, a shameless person, responds shamelessly, the matter will be solved much easier.
If Wen Chu wanted some face, Fang Xiu could use these things to talk things over, but she didn't care about her face at all. It was rare for him to be choked by someone. It would have been easier if it had been someone else, but he knew clearly that the person in front of him was Li Zhaoxi. Even if she was really bullied, so what, could he actually scratch her alive?
The breath was stuck in his chest.
The people he has met are all people who value virtue and face. Even if they are well-dressed hypocrites, they have taken care of them. At least, things like face and virtue are indispensable. . Because in this Dazhao, this is the foundation of the country. If you are a gentleman, you should pay attention to clothes, and if you are a person, you should pay attention to dignity. The same goes for the punishment that cannot be given to a doctor and the courtesy that cannot be given to common people. If you want to be a decent person, you must protect your face.
Everyone should be jealous of face and other people's gossip.
But what does Wen Chu think of her like this?
Think she is shameless?
Firstly, she is shameless, and secondly, she has Emperor Linghui protecting her. Isn’t this lawless?
On Emperor Linghui's side, Ben and Song Yusheng were in business. After hearing the commotion here, they rushed here. Song Yusheng heard that Fang Xiu had taken people to Kunning Palace and was afraid that something would happen. Then he also followed Emperor Linghui.
The two of them were at the entrance of the palace, listening to what was going on in the palace just now.
When Emperor Ling Hui heard Wen Chu's voice, his face was filled with a bit of pride, as if to say, look, my daughter is so powerful.
Song Yusheng noticed the change in the expression on Emperor Linghui's face. At this moment, the string in his mind was plucked by Wen Chu again.
This was the first time Song Yusheng heard Wen Chu say such things, and heard her question others like this, and the person he was questioning was the powerful Da Ju Fang Xiu.
It was completely different from the situation when she saw him in Qianqing Palace just now.
He then remembered that she had always been very courageous.
In the palace, Fang Xiu finally came to his senses. When Wen Chu questioned him like this, his face turned extremely ugly, but he still couldn't refute. There was really nothing wrong with a shameless person like Wen Chu. Go and fight. After all, there is Emperor Linghui standing behind her. Emperor Linghui is also the emperor after all. If she really offends Wen Chu, Emperor Linghui will risk his life to fight with them.
No need, really no need!
Thinking like this, Fang Xiu simply ignored Wen Chu, and just pointed at Qi Mo behind her and said: "This person has a good eye for life, and looks like such a monster. It is really suspicious. Why? I beg your commander to take this person and press him away. Prison, I want to investigate carefully!”
Han Qi followed Fang Xiu, knowing Qi Mo’s identity, and he also knew what Fang Xiu did to him. If Qi Mo falls into Fang Xiu’s In your hands, you can imagine what will happen.
He hesitated a little, but Fang Xiu's eyes immediately swept to his face. Han Qi was afraid of showing his flaws and did not dare to delay. He walked in front of Wen Chu and Li Weiyan, cupped his hands and said : "This person's identity is suspicious, he said He is not allowed to have anything to do with the assassin. Please hand him over."
Li Weiyan said: "He is just a young boy with no strength. He doesn't look like an assassin. The palm prints are wrong. ”
Fang Xiudao: "As the old saying goes, you should not be judged by appearance. This person, whether he is an assassin or not, has a suspicious background and should be captured! Otherwise, if something happens in the future, he will be harming others! "
If it is related to the assassin, it is indeed difficult to stop it. It is only natural for the Jin Yiwei to arrest the assassin.
If Qi Mo is not handed over, Fang Xiu will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble later. No matter what happens, he will be able to put all the blame on Qi Mo today and drag Li Weiyan into the water. He was said to be harboring assassins and causing catastrophe.
But do we really have to hand over Qi Mo like this?
How can it be.
The situation reached a deadlock for a while. Wen Chu refused to let people leave, but Fang Xiu insisted on taking people away.
A cold voice came from the palace entrance.
"Where is the assassin?"
No one was seen and heard the voice. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Emperor Linghui and Song Yusheng walking in front and back. Everyone first asked the emperor salute.
The person who just spoke was Song Yusheng.
After Fang Xiu finished the ceremony, he pointed at Qi Mo, "That person's origin is unknown and he has a strange appearance. Some people said they saw an assassin walking this way. I think he is the person in front of me. I think we should take him to the prison for interrogation." That’s all.”
Fang Xiu said that he was taking the people to Zhao Prison. Anyway, Zhao Prison is the territory of Jin Yiwei. Who knows where Fang Xiu will take people.
Song Yusheng followed Fang Xiu's gaze and looked at Qi Mo. He had silver hair and white eyebrows, and he couldn't distinguish between male and female. Isn't this the person Qi Chen wants to find?
What a coincidence.
Their child actually arrived in the palace, no wonder he couldn't be found.
Judging from Fang Xiu's battle, this matter must be related to him again.
At this moment, Qi Mo, who had not spoken for a long time, knelt down again.
This was the third time that he knelt down this night.
He knew that if he was taken away by Fang Xiu again, he would spend his whole life in that dark place again.
Wen Chu saw him kneeling again, turned around and wanted to pull him up. She said to him: "You are right, don't kneel, don't be afraid, we are all here."
Song Yusheng heard Wen Chu's words clearly. She told him not to kneel and not to be afraid.
Even the voice has never been gentle.
Song Yusheng didn't say anything, but suddenly walked in their direction.
No one seemed to have thought of Song Yusheng's sudden move. Emperor Linghui wanted to stop him from approaching Wenchu, but at this moment, he untimely remembered what he had just said in Qianqing Palace. For a moment, there was silence.
Li Weiyan observed his words and didn't say anything when he saw Emperor Linghui, so he stopped talking.
Wen Chu turned her back to everyone. She heard a sudden silence behind her and heard footsteps coming from behind. She immediately knew that Song Yusheng was approaching her. Wen Chu suddenly became nervous, even though she knew that Song Yusheng was approaching her. They were all human beings, but she was worried and scared for no reason. Her courage and domination were suddenly extinguished.
Her back suddenly stiffened.
The night was shrouded in the sky, the night wind stirred slightly, and a burst of sandalwood entered her nasal cavity.
What does he want to do? What does he want to do?
Fortunately, Song Yusheng didn’t want to do anything to Wen Chu. He just walked to Qi Mo’s side, pulled him up from the ground, gave him a kind smile, and said He said warmly: "If you have anything to say, just say it. We are here, so you don't have to be afraid." With this move, he quietly opened the distance between Wen Chu and Qi Mo. Seeing that Song Yusheng was not ill, Wen Chu pretended that he was trying to comfort Qi Mo and he breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily. Even if I don't know whether he is sincere or fake now, at least, he looks like this, which is quite reassuring.
It seems that as long as he is here, Fang Xiu cannot take Qi Mo away today.
Wen Chu no longer knew what to say. She could only watch his every move in silence, but fortunately she was no longer as defensive as before.
Qi Mo raised his eyes and met Song Yusheng's eyes. Although Song Yusheng's eyes were ruthless, they revealed a bit of tenderness under his efforts to disguise them. He was like a mountain forest, with a tone of intolerance in his mouth. If there is doubt, it inexplicably calms people's fears.
Qi Mo no longer wanted to kneel, he stood up.
He continued what he had just interrupted and left unfinished.
He said: "I'm really not an assassin. I was captured here by them."
"Who are they?" Song Yusheng asked him.
Qi Mo pointed at Fang Xiu. He lifted up the clothes around his feet again, and there were shocking red marks on his ankles.
He said: "He took me away from the village and locked me in the house with a chain. The house was very dark and I couldn't see any light. I don't know how long I was locked up. No. I don’t know how many days have passed. I just know that he often comes to my place and often takes off my clothes.”
There are many powerful people who are like Long Yang, and there are even more old eunuchs like Fang Xiu who are fond of child molestation. Moreover, their methods of playing with people are even more perverted and inhumane. Just thinking about it makes you sad. You know what Qi Mo has been through.
A house with no light
Song Yusheng suddenly regretted why he asked him these things here.
He turned his head to look at Wen Chu who was standing aside, and with just one glance, he saw that her face turned pale.
Looking from here to there, she remembered that she had also been chained by him.
"Nonsense! Full of nonsense! You are a pariah, a shameless child, how dare you taint me!"
Fang Xiu's angry shouting brought Song Yusheng's eyes back, as if he had really been wronged. His voice sounded like he had been wronged. Crying directly to Emperor Linghui, he said: "As a minister, I am embarrassed to say it in front of the lord, even if I work hard or complain. Over the years, since the emperor ascended to the throne. No, just when the emperor was still young, the minister So he always followed the emperor At that time, the emperor always liked to call me "big companion, big companion". I didn't dare to ask for help. I just wanted to stay by the emperor's side for the rest of my life, and it was a God-given opportunity. It's just that I have no two minds, and I am the only one who cares about you. , But I have such a sincere heart, why do I have to be fabricated like this and raped like this?"
If Fang Xiu's words were heard by people who didn't know about it, it would still be a shame. I really thought it was the greatest loyalty of the Jokhang Dynasty throughout the ages.
In the past, when Emperor Linghui was young, he might have been deceived by these words, but is he like this now? How could he write another letter from Fang Xiu?
To see how a person is, you must not listen to what he says, but to see what he does.
Especially in Dazhao and the imperial court.
Which of them in their mouths is not a gentleman, and which one is not a square and virtuous person, but what about the things they have done? The clothes are inferior to those of beasts.
Emperor Linghui was too lazy to listen to Fang Xiu's clichés. He ignored Fang Xiu and turned to look at Li Weiyan. His wrinkled eye sockets were a bit deep.
"Brother eldest brother, what do you think?"
Before Wen Chu and Concubine De's accident, Emperor Linghui called Li Weiyan eldest brother, but after their accident, Emperor Linghui I never called him like this again. Most of the time, I never looked him in the face or called his name.
To him, he was not a son, but some bitter enemy.
But now, Wen Chu is back, and he also calls him eldest brother.
Li Weiyan didn't know whether he should be happy or what, but the fingers hidden in his sleeves were already so tightly closed that there was a little soreness in his chest.
Brother Chang.
He actually knew that he was his son.
He is his first child.
Li Weiyan was no longer overwhelmed by his emotions, and quickly answered Emperor Linghui’s words. He cupped his hands and said: "The palm seal is loyal to the emperor and the country, so it is not good for him to be wronged, but I see That young man's words are not lies. It would be better if he went to check. Check. Check whether there is really a black room iron chain on the other side of the palm print. If there is, then what the young man said is not a lie, and where the palm print came from is also open to question. "
Emperor Linghui nodded, seemingly satisfied with Li Weiyan's statement. Fang Xiu saw that something was going wrong and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to investigate the assassin. There are other things."
Before Fang Xiu finished speaking, he saw Emperor Linghui smiling but not smiling. He said: "Urgent, why aren't you in a hurry? The assassin's business is a business, and the big companion's business is even more serious."
At this moment, Emperor Linghui mentioned the title of big companion again, with only sarcasm left in his mouth.
Fang Xiu finally understood. Now he didn't even try to hide it, and everyone was already planning to openly expose it.
Just when the atmosphere fell into a stalemate, I heard a voice coming from outside the door.
“Welcome to the Empress Dowager!”
The Empress Dowager came here.
Fang Xiu heard the voice and breathed a sigh of relief calmly.
The Empress Dowager's voice rang out from the entrance of the palace, "Kunning Palace is so lively tonight. People that you wouldn't normally see in the palace are all gathered here today. It seems that I really didn't get there this time." Come for nothing.”
The Empress Dowager’s voice came first, with a great sense of oppression.
After all, the empress dowager was also the one who supported the young emperor. She survived the King of Li's Rebellion unscathed. Even the King of Li never touched her. One can imagine her methods. How cruel.
Just speaking has the arrogance and arrogance of a superior person.
After the ceremony, Emperor Linghui said first: "What kind of wind has brought the queen to this place now? Doesn't the queen often worship the Buddha in Cining Palace and refuse to go out?"
The Empress Dowager laughed, "Why, the Ai family can't come?"
Emperor Linghui clasped his hands behind his back and said leisurely, "How dare you."
Emperor The Queen Mother no longer paid attention to Emperor Ling Hui, but looked at Fang Xiu and asked: "Tell me, what did you do?"
Fang Xiu knew that the Queen Mother was trying to help him, He quickly explained what happened.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother just nodded and looked at the silver-haired Qi Mo.
She said slowly: "Really, I thought it was something. Emperor, have you forgotten? Fang Daban has always been by your side. Now you would rather believe what some outsiders say than what Daban says." Isn't this too hurtful? "
It hurts the old heart, mother and son, he and Daban have reached this point, who broke whose heart first.
They also forced him to kill the Taifu in the first place. Why didn't they think of hurting his heart? When the country was broken, she gave up on him as her biological son and preferred to support his father's brother. She doesn't want him anymore, just because he doesn't listen to her anymore.
She had already treated him like this, why did she dare to mention it? It would hurt people's hearts.
When Emperor Linghui heard this, he was no longer as calm as before. He chuckled twice, his voice was extremely sarcastic, "The mother has a heart, so the son has no heart, right?"
< br>
The Queen Mother still didn't think there was anything wrong. She continued to press: "Emperor, if you had your heart, you shouldn't do this to your eldest companion. When you were so young, who was by your side? It was your mother, your eldest companion, And your teachers, How can you grow up and be like this? "
"My teacher has been driven to death by you!"
Emperor Linghui became excited again, the Empress Dowager Then she achieved her goal, she smiled Said: "The emperor is too worried today. My companion, help the emperor go back to rest. Also, the assassin, command the envoy to take him away."
Fang Xiu stepped forward and wanted to help Emperor Ling Hui leave this place, but was Emperor Linghui brushed it away fiercely, "I He’s not dead yet!”
“Emperor, it’s time for you to rest.” The Empress Dowager looked at Wen Chu again and said with a smile: “The third sister is back, why haven’t you arrived? I’ve seen it before.”
Wen Chu ranks third among several princesses.
Emperor Linghui saw her looking at Wen Chu and said sternly: "Enough!"
It was like this every time, it was like this before, and it is still like this now. Between the emperor and In confrontations with the Queen Mother, he would always fall behind her. This was how she had treated him for so many years.
This time, she wanted to use Wen Chu against him again.
The Empress Dowager knew that Emperor Linghui had given up, and Fang Xiu on the other side also understood, and immediately gave Han Qi a wink.
Cold sweat broke out on Han Qi's back. He looked at Qi Mo with a bit of unbearability in his heart. If he took him away, wouldn't he fall into hell again. He escaped this time and was caught again. How could Fang Xiu let him go?
But the Queen Mother's order had been given, and he could only walk towards Qi Mo. His steps were like lead filled with lead, and he could not move.
Fortunately, Song Yusheng stopped in front of Qi Mo.
He said: "I want this man."
With these words, if a stone fell into the water, it would set off a huge wave.
