Chapter 74 He protects her!
Jiang Jinshuang came back.
Before saying this, she originally wanted to pay homage to His Majesty, but after Jiang Huayan finished speaking, she stood upright in the court hall.
Today she wore a long green dress with a wide and long tail. The dawn light fell on the hem of her skirt, swaying gracefully.
Shen Huaihe knelt in the court hall, his posture upright and looking forward.
Jiang Jinshuang raised her eyes, looked at the majesty of the emperor with angry eyes in front of her, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "I wonder what I have done to make my father so angry?"
"Pei Aiqing accompanied you to meet King Changping, but was assassinated on the way. His life was on the line to protect you, why don't you admit your mistake!?"
"It is true that the Chief Assistant was injured in order to save my son, but those assassins were not sent by my son. Secondly, there were so many of them, and the guards dispatched by my father were insufficient. This led to the injury of the Chief Assistant's escort. What could I do wrong? !”
"Pa——"
Jiang Huayan took action!
"How dare you talk back!? If you hadn't noticed the ambush and assassination in time, how could Pei Aiqing be injured!?"
"What do you think my father is?" Jiang Jinshuang greeted her every sentence. "My son is just a weak woman who grew up in a boudoir. How could I know about the ambush in advance?"
"You——"
"Shuang'er! My father is also very angry now. How can you contradict my father with words!?"
On the side, Jiang Biechen came out from the front of the left column and sternly stopped him.
"Father is so angry that your brother wants to accuse me too?" Jiang Jinshuang said coldly, "Not to mention that yesterday's assassination of Zhao Ming made me frightened and frightened. I just want to say that even though the chief minister is a very human minister and the minister of a country, After all, he is also a minister!”
"As a princess of a country, it is natural for me to save my royal family members. I don't know where I went wrong!"
She is still the same as she was three years ago.
Show your sharp edge and never give in.
"Zhaoming, even if you say so, the injury to the chief assistant is also caused by you. As the chief officer who welcomes Uncle Changping this time, you should bear this responsibility!"
Before Jiang Jinshuang could speak again, the surrounding courtiers also stood behind Jiang Biechen and accused him one after another.
"The First Assistant is the mainstay of our dynasty and a noble minister. Now I am in danger of saving His Highness's life. Shouldn't His Highness be held responsible?"
"Yes, yes! If it were not for saving His Highness, the Chief Assistant would not be injured!"
"Your Highness still doesn't repent, so he should be punished!"
"Heavy punishment! You should be severely punished!"
"..."
The discussion was relatively small at first, but as the voices of the ministers began to rise, those voices became louder and clearer.
Jiang Jinshuang took a deep breath and closed her eyes slightly.
When she came to the court today, she was prepared that His Majesty would punish her.
However, Jiang Jinshuang still felt irritated now that she was being pointed out by thousands of people and became the target of public criticism.
Beside her, Shen Huaihe, who had been kneeling on the ground, said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I believe that the most important thing at this time is to find the murderer of the assassination team. Her Royal Highness the Princess was assassinated yesterday, and she must be in shock now." , Your Majesty should not impose heavy penalties.”
——Shen Huaihe stood on the opposite side of the ministers.
Stand behind her and speak for her.
Such a situation was so rare that Jiang Jinshuang couldn't help but feel a flash of surprise in his eyes.
The minister opposite also snorted coldly: "When will Mr. Shaoqing be willing to speak for Her Highness the Princess again?"
"Yes, your Royal Highness the Princess did something wrong back then, and Lord Shaoqing was the one who participated in the most troubles!"
He was sarcastic and his tone was contemptuous.
Shen Huaihe's eyebrows were stern and his tone was serious: "We only help morality and justice, not selfishness."
After a pause, he looked at the ministers without fear: "Do you have selfish motives for targeting Princess Zhaoming like this?"
With one sentence, the group of ministers looked at each other and became speechless.
"That's enough!" Jiang Huayan said coldly on the dragon chair.
Everyone in the court hall was silent.
That day, the emperor wore a bright yellow robe and looked down at His Highness Jiang Jinshuang.
"Then according to your wishes, how should Zhao Ming be punished?" "Your Majesty—" Shen Huaihe frowned and was about to speak!
"Lord Shaoqing!" Jiang Huayan interrupted coldly, "Today, for the sake of Zhaoming, you have contradicted me several times. I will punish you to shut up and think about it for three days. Come to court again after you have thought clearly!"
Hearing that the emperor was supporting them all, those ministers who had long been grudged against Jiang Jinshuang straightened their backs and started talking loudly!
"The title should be revoked, demoted back to Baiyujing, and banned from entering the capital forever!"
"Princess Zhaoming has made terrible mistakes over and over again. Your Majesty is kind and calls her back to the capital, but she doesn't repent and commits such disasters again!"
"Wei Chen thinks that Princess Zhaoming should be demoted to a commoner and driven out of Chang'an City!"
"..."
There was a lot of discussion and chatter.
The morning light brought a bit of heat, shining on Jiang Jinshuang's back, causing it to feel scalding hot.
——Jiang Jinshuang was extremely irritable.
On the throne, the emperor said coldly: "Biechen, what do you mean?"
Jiang Biechen seemed not to have expected that His Majesty would mention him.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He straightened his body, coughed slightly, and cupped his hands towards the emperor on the dragon throne: "I thought that my father was kind-hearted and recalled Shuang'er from that bitter and cold place, but Shuang'er... has a difficult nature. Move without repentance.”
"It's better...let Shuang'er return to the fiefdom to reflect."
When Jiang Jinshuang heard this, she moved her eyelids.
——Jiang Biechen still has a restless temper.
On the dragon throne, the emperor's expression was obscured by the twelve beautiful crowns, and his face was indistinguishable.
I don’t know how much time passed.
"Shuang'er, do you have anything else to say?"
Jiang Jinshuang chuckled and was about to speak.
The next second, a panic report came from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, the chief minister outside the palace is asking for an audience!"
All the courtiers in the hall were shocked when they heard this!
Above the bright hall, Jiang Huayan frowned slightly: "Please come in quickly!"
"Yes!"
In fact, it didn’t take long.
Pei Du wore a red official robe and walked to the main hall with a pale face and a weak look.
His square steps were straight and elegant, but today's pace was slightly anxious.
Even though he is weak, the man still maintains an upright posture, like a tall pine and cypress, noble and cold.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
The man wanted to pay homage to the emperor, but Jiang Huayan quickly stopped him: "Okay, okay, Pei Aiqing, your injury has not healed, why are you here?"
Pei Du stood in front of Jiang Jinshuang, half of his body blocking her behind him.
The distance was so close that Jiang Jinshuang could even smell the medicinal fragrance and blood on his body.
——It must have been too hasty and the wound opened.
"Your Majesty, I have come here to report to you, please punish me."
"Condemn you?" Jiang Huayan frowned, "Pei Aiqing has done a good job in protecting you. What crime is there?"
Pei Du bowed and said: "Wei Chen is scared. Before leaving, Wei Chen swore to His Majesty that he would protect Princess Zhaoming and His Royal Highness Prince Changping, but Wei Chen broke his promise."
"Oh?" Jiang Huayan said coldly, "Pei Aiqing protected Zhaoming's life, and King Changping returned to Beijing smoothly. Where did he break his promise?"
"Back to Your Majesty, in fact, on the way back to Beijing, Wei Chen had already received the news. He had known that there would be an assassin ambushing him on the way, but Wei Chen wanted to catch them all, so he took the risk and put the two Highnesses in danger and danger. Yes. A humble minister should be punished for his arrogance!”
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
All the ministers looked at each other and talked about it.
Jiang Huayan's face didn't look good either: "Pei Aiqing, is what you said the truth?"
"Your Majesty is aware that I dare not deceive Your Majesty. It is my own selfish interests that have caused this unwarranted disaster to the two Highnesses. I am terrified and I beg Your Majesty to punish you."
