Chapter 92 Protection
Everything was silent.
As soon as the extremely wealthy Jiangnan Si family spoke, the expressions of everyone present changed.
If there is anyone in this world who dares to accuse the prince and emperor to his face, Si Beihuan is definitely the number one person.
Now he spoke coldly and loudly, accusing without concealment. When King Changping heard this, the smile on his lips froze.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his eyes to look at Si Beihuan, who was sitting directly opposite him.
Si Beihuan snorted coldly and said with a worried expression: "In any case, Princess Zhaoming was also shocked when she welcomed King Changping this time. King Changping was not only ungrateful, but also made unreasonable accusations. It's really outrageous."
In fact, these words not only scolded Jiang Zeyi, but also the emperor secretly criticized him.
Princess Zhaoming went out to the capital to welcome King Changping, but was assassinated again. She had no merit but hard work. Not only did these two men not reward her with the gift, but they drove her to the ancestral hall outside the city to copy the scriptures!
Si Beihuan gets angry just thinking about it!
"Bang——"
Placing the wine glass heavily on the Eight Immortals table, Si Beihuan looked at King Changping Jiang Zeyi across from him coldly: "Furthermore, I heard that when you were assassinated, His Highness King Changping transferred all the guards to your side. This is why you are missing." The manpower caused Mr. Pei to risk his life to save him."
"If we really want to hold people accountable, His Royal Highness Prince Changping... should be held responsible for a more serious crime."
The smile on the corner of King Changping's mouth had completely disappeared, and there was a seriousness and murderous intent in his eyes that could not be ignored, but he still apologized with a smile: "What the head of the Si family said is absolutely true, it was me who was rude. I just wanted to joke with Zhao Ming after not seeing each other for a long time.”
"Huh, a joke? I don't think it's funny," Si Beihuan said, showing no intention of giving up because of King Changping's confession. "Princess Zhaoming is a woman who values reputation and integrity, but His Highness King Changping said she was in love with Mr. Pei. Could it be that you want to ruin Princess Zhaoming’s innocence?”
Si Beihuan lowered his eyes and said nothing, looking embarrassed.
After a pause, Si Beihuan raised his chin, with a hint of arrogance in his eyebrows: "What's more, Princess Zhaoming and my son Si Ning have already understood each other. This joke by His Royal Highness Prince Changping is really inappropriate."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at each other in shock!
Si Ning on the side was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he smiled helplessly and shook his head, pursed his lips and laughed.
His father...is really someone who can't hide things.
Jiang Jinshuang was also stunned for a moment.
She hurriedly looked at Si Ning's expression across from her.
Noticing Jiang Jinshuang's gaze, Si Ning smiled and reassured her, lightly parted her thin lips and said, "It's okay."
Only then did Jiang Jinshuang feel relieved.
She wasn't worried about any damage to her reputation.
——After all, her reputation as Princess Zhaoming has become extremely stinky in the entire capital.
She was just a little worried that Si Ning would be treated coldly by some people because of this.
Now that she heard what Si Ning said, she was no longer nervous. She tilted her head and watched Si Beihuan's chatter.
For some reason, Jiang Jinshuang felt warm in her heart when she looked at Si Beihuan, who had stood up for her.
——It’s rare for an elder to protect her like this.
Her reputation was so bad that the old ministers and officials in the palace wanted to kill her quickly, so naturally they couldn't speak for her.
After Uncle Wang Ruiyang died, no one would protect her like this anymore.
There was a constant stream of discussions from civil and military officials all around.
"What's going on? Princess Zhaoming and the Jiangnan Si family..."
"I'm just talking about why Mr. Jiangnan Sining is willing to come all the way to the capital to attend the banquet. It turns out that there is this relationship..."
"No wonder, no wonder Mr. Si Ning has such a good relationship with Princess Zhaoming!"
"Who says it's not the case? Earlier, before the head of the Si family came to the capital, didn't Mr. Si Ning live in the princess's house?"
"It seems... is it true?"
"Now that the head of the Si family has spoken personally, how can there be any lies?"
"Oh, I see this situation, maybe the two of them have exchanged ideas privately, and have secretly communicated with each other..."
"..."
Everyone looked at Jiang Jinshuang and Si Ning with ambiguous looks in their eyes.
Si Ning lowered his eyes and drank tea calmly, not paying attention to the comments of others.
He calmly raised his eyes and glanced at Pei Du's position.
The man was seen sitting upright and straight, looking straight ahead, as if he didn't care about the conversation just now. Si Ning's eyes moved downward.
He saw the tea spilled on the man's desk.
——The hand is not steady.
Si Ning curled his lips slightly, lowered his eyes and drank tea.
Si Beihuan was here to save Jiang Jinshuang's face today.
Now that he has come to this point, he holds his hands on his bent knees and sits in a bold and uninhibited posture: "Your Majesty, I am one step older than you, so I can barely be regarded as your elder. There is a saying that an old man is always unhappy. ”
In the main seat, Jiang Huayan maintained the smile on his face: "It doesn't matter what the head of the Si family says."
Si Beihuan snorted coldly and glanced at the officials present.
"I know that all of you here have more or less issues with Princess Zhaoming."
"But since Princess Zhaoming and my son have the same mind, I still have to say some ugly things first."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"What happened in the past has passed away. If Princess Zhaoming did anything wrong, I, an old man, will apologize to you all on her behalf."
Having said this, Si Beihuan stood up with his legs up, picked up the wine cup in his hand, and drank it all in one gulp after paying tribute to everyone present.
Upon seeing this, the ministers looked at each other, smiled apologetically and said a few words, so they had no choice but to pick up the wine and take a drink.
After a glass of wine went down his throat, Si Beihuan poured another glass and turned to face Jiang Jinshuang not far away.
"Princess Zhaoming, this old man is just a rough man. I will make a promise to you. From now on, your marriage to my son Si Ning will be successful or not. If anyone dares to be disrespectful to you or chew your tongue again, it will be in my hands." The late emperor personally gave me a sword, so I can kill it first and then show it, regardless of the reason!”
"If your Highness encounters someone who has no eyes in the future, just kill him, and I will bear all the responsibility!"
This was said in front of the civil and military ministers and even the emperor.
The meaning is already obvious.
No matter what Princess Zhaoming did in the past, now, his Jiangnan Si family wanted to lift her to a high place.
After speaking, Si Beihuan drank another drink.
When Jiang Jinshuang saw this, she didn't get up. She just poured herself a glass of wine, saluted Si Beihuan, and drank it all in one gulp.
Si Ning did not hold back the glass of wine.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the banquet was a bit depressing and eerie.
Until the official on the throne laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, today is the reception banquet in Changping, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Come on, keep playing."
The music sounded again, and the condensed atmosphere in the hall gradually became lively again with the music and the graceful dance of the dancer.
Jiang Jinshuang played with the teacup in her hand, moved her ears slightly, and looked outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony again.
Night falls and the moon shines over the sky.
It's not her imagination.
Jiang Jinshuang heard footsteps.
It's just that the sound of footsteps is a little deeper than that of Yanjue, and his martial arts skills are inferior to Yanjue.
——There are assassins in the palace?
Jiang Jinshuang raised her eyebrows slightly.
She stood up calmly and glanced at Si Ning opposite.
Si Ning noticed Jiang Jinshuang's movements and looked towards her.
Jiang Jinshuang glanced outside the hall.
Si Ning understood and nodded slightly.
Jiang Jinshuang took advantage of the music and the dancing girl to sneak out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
