Chaoyuan Road

Long Nu knelt on the cold amethyst tile floor, listening to Tian Nu repeating Shi Wenye's words endlessly.The human way is that "plague and waterlogging do not separate families". After ten days of heavy rain, Yangzhou was supposed to be a swamp country. Shi Wenye was ordered to spread the plague in the lower world, but he was surprised to find that the speed of the flood receded as quickly as when it came, and he hardly had any time to spread the plague. plague.Shi Wenye, who was leaving on a whim, was immediately discouraged. He was still a pimply empress, and turned into a mortal. After questioning, he found out that the people of Yangzhou had received the news beforehand and moved the whole city to a high place to avoid it. seedling. "Third Princess, you have always had good ears and eyes," Tian Nu said with a sneer on his face, "How could you not be aware of such a big matter?"

Cun Xin acted as if he hadn't heard it, and kowtowed towards the throne: "Your Majesty, the original copies of Yangzhou's local secret reports are still in Yaochi, and it is true that they have not been mentioned. If you don't believe me, I will fetch them now and present them to Your Majesty."

"Hmph!" Tian Nu didn't buy it, "The secret report has been handed by the princess, so it will be cleaned up naturally."

The Dragon Girl turned her head and gave Tian Nu a glance: "Lord Zhongshu Ling, although my rank is lower than yours, I am not under your orders, and I am responsible to your majesty and empress respectively. If you are asking questions on behalf of your majesty, I will Answer them one by one. It’s just that His Majesty is here now, so I advise you not to overstep.”

"Arrogance?" Tian Nu sneered and said, "Someone secretly instigated Lord Qiantang to dig ditches privately, and made Xing Lord of Tufu pretend to be a beggar to reveal the news of the disaster, which made His Majesty's intention to punish the people of Yangzhou come to naught. I wonder if that counts as arrogance?"

Cun Xin's breathing was stagnant, but his face remained motionless. He cupped his hands towards the Jade Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this servant is ashamed of the heavens and never shirks the blame. If Mr. Zhongshu Ling has real evidence to prove that this is what the servant did, then I ask Your Majesty to issue an order to put the servants into the prison, and to punish them according to the law, so that the servants will have no complaints!"

"Mr. Qiantang belongs to your Dragon Clan. I think you are afraid that the Dragon Clan will offend the people of Yangzhou and lose their mortal offerings, so you instigated him to act positively and viciously to fight against the Heavenly Court. This is the crime of treason. !" Tian Nu turned to the Jade Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please make an order to transfer Lord Qiantang to confront him in the sky. Under the punishment of three trees and five punishments, I am not afraid that Ao Cong will not tell the truth!"

Dragon Girl's Horror——Ao Cong, Lord Qiantang, for the righteousness of the whole dragon clan, promised to use the water to dig ditches privately. He was already burdened with a relationship like a sea of ​​blood. It is inevitable that there will be a bloodbath, so isn't this disaster all caused by oneself?If Tian Nu followed Tufu Xingjun to follow the vine, it would be inevitable to expose Yang Jian, and the consequences would be disastrous.The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, knowing that now only by confessing everything, taking all the blame on herself, and calming the Jade Emperor's anger, can the loss be minimized, so she stood up and said, "Your Majesty, let me tell you about this matter." ..." She didn't finish her sentence, but only heard someone outside the main hall say loudly: "This matter is all done by my concubine. It is my concubine's fault that I didn't report it to His Majesty because of the emergency!"

Everyone was shocked, and when they looked together, they saw that the door of the palace was opened at some time, and the Queen Mother was standing at the door, dressed in court clothes that dragged the floor, apparently in a hurry, and came before changing clothes and makeup.Behind her is Yang Jian in full attire, holding the arm of the Queen Mother and helping her cross the high threshold.The queen mother came to the door, and did not take her seat as usual, but bowed respectfully to the Jade Emperor at the bottom of the steps and said: "The concubine has no status, and disobedience to His Majesty's will is naturally a crime of treason. Please let your majesty take the concubine. Together into the land of eternal doom.”

Her posture was extremely humble, but her tone was surprisingly domineering. It was an apology, but she said it like a question. When she said the last word, her piercing eyes swept across Tian Nu's face. Like weeds blown by the wind, it suddenly became shorter.

The Jade Emperor, who was lying on the couch with his eyes closed and listening quietly, sat up straight a long time ago. Hearing this, he smiled and got up and said, "I didn't say anything, but I just heard some words, so I asked my servants to ask, that's all. Why should Tong be serious?"

The Queen Mother curled her lips, put up her long skirt, sat down on the throne, and said to the Jade Emperor: "The concubine has been married to Your Majesty for tens of thousands of years, and if anything is done, it is not for Your Majesty, but for the sake of the Three Realms." ? Even if there is something to deceive His Majesty, it is a last resort. Why bother to come here, and after hearing a few words from others, you turn a corner and ask your concubine? If you have anything to say, tell it face to face, wouldn’t it be straightforward? "

The Jade Emperor became more and more embarrassed, so he had to sit down too, and smiled at the Queen Mother, "Wanjin, when will I not believe you to come? It's just that they reported it, so they will inevitably have to ask to show justice. So, why wait until now?"

The Queen Mother didn't appreciate it, and said angrily: "Your Majesty wants to investigate whoever you want, just do it directly. You are the greatest in the Three Realms, and you condescend to argue with a small scholar, and the concubine never dismissed it for your face. It's just that Fan Sheng was guilty, and he was guilty of all the crimes. The courtiers felt sorry for the hundreds of thousands of people who were buried with him, so they secretly asked people to tamper with it. They could not only take care of the dignity of the heavens, teach the people to know the fate of offending the heavens, but also preserve their innocence. It is as kind as heaven not to hurt His Majesty. I thought His Majesty was angry and would explain it to you in detail after a while, but I don’t think there will be those who have no winks and specially instigate them to separate my husband and wife. "

The Jade Emperor didn't think anything of it, but the Tian Nu who heard it felt like a thorn in his back, and hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Mother, this old slave..."

"I'm talking to His Majesty, how can you intervene?" The Queen Mother cut him off and said sharply, "I was going to say you..."

"Wanjin," the Jade Emperor saw that Tian Nu was flushed with shame, and hurriedly stopped him, "This slave is just like me. I didn't know your deep meaning, and it wasn't evil." He winked and told Tian Nu to back down. , and personally poured a bowl of tea for the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "That's the end of this matter, and I won't investigate anymore, okay?"

"Investigate! Be sure to investigate!" The Queen Mother didn't look at him, and said bitterly: "If you just cover up the gourd like this, won't it make people laugh at Your Majesty?"

The Jade Emperor glanced at Cun Xin and Yang Jian at the bottom of the steps, and saw that the two of them were looking at their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, as if they had never heard of it, so he quietly reached out and pulled the Queen Mother's sleeve, and said softly: "Look at you, in front of outsiders. , don’t fight with me anymore, ah~”

The queen mother lost her temper enough, took a sip from the tea bowl, and the color became harmonious: "One of them is from our own family, and the other is our servant, and they are not outsiders. But in your Majesty's heart, I don't know whether to treat the concubine as a housewife or not." What about outsiders?"

"In your Majesty's heart, the empress is naturally unique." Yang Jian, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said lightly.The Jade Emperor couldn't wait for this sentence, so he hurriedly continued: "Look, even Yang...Erlang said that, Wanjin, don't be angry anymore."
