Journey to the West: Moral Heaven

The two maids looked at each other and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has never met Mr. Chen privately."

Li Zhi snorted and said, "Then I'm asking you, why didn't you go back to the palace after entering the incense, but instead had a secret meeting with Mr. Chen for more than half an hour? Someone has already told me the truth, do you want to hide it for me?"

"My lord, my lord, spare me!"

The pressure of the emperor's anger should not be too great. A court lady broke down and cried loudly: "After offering incense, the empress asked Mr. Chen to lead a tour of the palace and stood by the stream for a while. There is no personal affair!"

Li Zhi's eyes shot cold, and he said: "What did you two say, did you hear it?"

"Never!"

The two maids shook their heads quickly.

Li Zhi smiled coldly: "Why didn't you hear it?"

A court lady stammered: "We are about twenty steps away from the empress!"

"Hahahaha, retreat twenty steps from the servants, and stand by the stream with that surnamed Chen for half an hour, Meiniang, Meiniang, what should I say about you?"

Li Zhi laughed out loud.

"My lord, my concubine and Mr. Chen are innocent, it's not what you think, there must be a traitor who framed this concubine!"

Mei Niang also panicked, the emperor even called out the surname Chen, it can be seen that he was extremely angry, and couldn't help trembling all over.

Li Zhi's smile faded, and he said in a deep voice: "My concubine, then tell me, why did you dismiss the maid? What did you say when you were alone with Mr. Chen for more than half an hour? What do you need to say for more than half an hour? Hmm? "

Mei Niang bowed her head in silence, tears streaming down her face.

Asking Chen E to help her find candidates in the outer court to compete for the posthumous position, it is a big taboo to say such words, all dynasties have tabooed the harem to interfere in politics, if you want to be a queen, you can ask the emperor, what's the matter with asking the ministers outside the palace?

As for the later confession, let alone complaining to Chen E, it is too ambiguous. Any man who listens to it will be full of imagination.

But she didn't dare to make up random things, for fear that the emperor would arrest Chen E and put him in prison, and torture him to extract a confession. If the confession would not be correct, both of them would be beaten to death, so she used her strengths as a woman and shed tears of remorse.

What I regret is that I didn't listen to Chen E's faithful advice, and had to be alone with him, and was caught by the braid.

What she hates is being framed, the faces of Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, etc. seem to be soaked with blood, appearing in front of her eyes.

"Your Majesty dotes on and loves my concubine, how can I not spare my blessings, my concubine has been wronged!"

Meiniang fell to the ground and cried loudly!

Li Zhi's complexion changed from cloudy to cloudy. When Mei Niang was still a talented person of Emperor Taizong, he fell in love at first sight once when he met her, and he will never forget it ever since.

He was born with a weak temperament, and he was unremarkable among the scholars, and he never caught Li Shimin's eyes, but Meiniang's hearty temperament and just right pungentness conquered him. Confidence, Mei Niang's goodness, comes to mind from time to time.

And the child in Mei Niang's womb

But when he thought that he might be greened by Chen E, the hatred was hard to suppress!

"Come here, drag these two slaves out and beat them to death!"

Li Zhi turned his head and shouted loudly.

"Holy Majesty, spare your life, spare your life!"

The two maids screamed terribly.

A few eunuchs stepped forward, dragged and walked out, and there was the sound of banging boards and screams for a while.

Mei Niang just fell on the ground and cried, not saying a word.

Li Zhi gave her another cold look, and said, "I will be under strict supervision, and you are not allowed to go out without my will!" Then he turned and left.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has an edict: There is a minister Chen E, who is willful and undisciplined, stays out of court for a long time, eats the king's salary, and bears the king's entrustment. He will be resigned from the official position and put in prison. This is my honor!"

At Chen E's house, the eunuch came to announce the decree.

Immediately, a royal army stepped forward and knocked off Chen E's official hat.

Chen E felt that the luck connection with Datang was cut in half in an instant.

"what?"

Zhang Shi and Wen Jiao were taken aback and raised their heads abruptly.

"My minister, Chen E, is ordered to thank you, long live the Holy Spirit, long live, long live!"

Chen E was not in a hurry, knelt down to salute, and shouted long live three times.

"Master!"

Wen Jiao said anxiously.

Chen E stood up and waved her hands: "The sage must have been deceived by an adulterer. I believe that after learning the truth, he will return my innocence. Madam, don't worry, my family and my mother will be entrusted to you for the time being."

"Ok!"

It was only then that Wen Jiao recalled that her husband was already the pinnacle of the Ninth Fourth Immortal, and his life would not be in danger anyway, so she reluctantly complied.

"Please wait a moment, father-in-law, let me change into casual clothes and fetch the seal!"

Chen E bowed her hands again.

The eunuch couldn't figure out what was going on, and couldn't rule out the possibility of Chen E's recovery, so he didn't want to offend too much, so he nodded and said, "Chen Zhuangyuan, don't delay."

Chen E went back to the house, took off her official uniform, changed into casual clothes, took the official seal, and returned it to the eunuch.

Immediately, the luck connection with Datang completely disappeared, and even the merits were a little loose, and a trace of gray breath lingered in it.

This is the backlash of being dismissed from office.

"Let's go!"

The eunuch greeted.

"Mother take care!"

Chen E kowtowed to Mrs. Zhang, turned around and left, left the mansion, was escorted into a prison cart, and marched towards the palace.

"Daughter-in-law, what's going on, why did my son become a prisoner?"

Mrs. Zhang said anxiously to Wen Jiao as if she had lost her backbone.

Wen Jiao persuaded: "Perhaps she was framed by a villain, mother, don't worry, the sage is aware of the details, and the husband will be fine. The daughter-in-law will go back to her mother's house first and ask her father to find out about the situation."
