Caught off guard, the entire court fell into dead silence, and countless courtiers stared wide-eyed and held their breath.

They clapped slowly and looked at King Qi together.

Xie Caiqing also showed a blank expression at the right time.

Seeing his expression, the emperor couldn't control the corners of his mouth, as if the vanity of being a hero to save the beauty had been greatly satisfied.

Yin Xian looked back and glanced, seeing the emperor's acquiescence, his eyes never left Zhuangyuan Lang's body, and immediately said: "The slave is in charge of your majesty's daily life, and this jade was pinned to your majesty's waist by your own hands a few days ago! I think this jade is too plain and ugly, so I persuaded you for a long time before His Majesty put it on, I remember it very clearly!"

Xiao Yun: "..." He didn't ask this guy to explain it in such detail.

"..." Xie Caiqing's expression was faint.

He said that according to Xiao Yun's aesthetics, how could he choose this jade, because he didn't like throwing it to him casually.

King Qi finally realized that something was wrong, and his face turned pale: "How is it possible?! No! This is impossible!"

Xie Caiqing clearly told him...

"No! You must have admitted it wrong!" He suddenly looked at Xie Caiqing, pointing at him hoarsely, "He personally admitted that he had an affair with Yu's master..."

"Presumptuous!" Yin Xian looked coldly at King Qi who was in chaos and talking nonsense, and he felt that he had grown up and raised his wild mind. He even forgot who he was, and couldn't cry when he saw the coffin. , you can ask someone to check it, and the Imperial Household Office has registered everything!"

The courtier stared straight, his expression changing.

Jade belongs to His Majesty, Xie Caiqing admits to having an affair with Yu's master...

Your Majesty...could it be...

Isn't that champion man...

Your Majesty actually...

this... this this... this...

From King Qi's swearing, Zhuangyuan Lang's complexion gradually changed from pale to crimson.

Xiao Yun stared at the person several times, the corners of his mouth curled up and down, and he stretched out his hand towards Yin Xian.

Yin Xian immediately offered the jade with both hands respectfully, Xiao Yun picked up the rope, caressing and playing with the jade casually.

Jade is as white and flawless as Zhuangyuan Lang, silky and beautiful.

Seeing this movement, Zhuangyuan Lang buried his head deeper, his fingers froze, and he straightened his clothes frantically, touching the skin of his neck that was originally clinging to the jade, his face was pale, as if he hated himself and gave up on himself .

Xiao Yun couldn't help taking another look, holding back a smile, and thought it was really strange, how could someone be so playful and cute, and his voice was still lazy and steady: "That day Zhen Weifu went out to inquire about people's sentiments, and in Yixian Lou drinking tea, happened to hear Zhuangyuan Lang's impassioned speech, quite satisfied, so I rewarded this jade casually, wishing him the title of gold list."

"But I didn't admit that I wanted to bring him such a big trouble. It's my fault."

"Isn't King Qi looking for an adulterer?" Although Xiao Yun was talking to King Qi, his eyes were fixed on Xie Caiqing, and he smiled, "There's no need to look for it, the adulterer is me."

King Qi was as pale as paper in this sound, and knelt down with a plop.

Mantang was frightened and couldn't help but want to laugh, and felt uncomfortable for a while.

Xie Caiqing looked up in shock, as if she didn't understand why he said that, then suddenly lowered her head, her face flushed completely, feeling ashamed.

Xiao Yun said leisurely: "I am disrespectful for being an old man, and the number one scholar is disrespectful for being a young man. As the emperor, I have cheated in the imperial examinations, so I will open the door to the number one scholar."

The standing courtiers couldn't help but started laughing, and some generals couldn't hold back their laughter like thunder.

A mere number one scholar, whoever the emperor wants to win, doesn't matter if he doesn't take the exam, and he still needs to cheat?

After laughing, he had a strange expression, could it be that Your Majesty and Zhuangyuan Lang... Your Majesty always loves to play, and Zhuangyuan Lang has an unusually good birth...

King Qi's always honorable knees began to bend.

Xie Caiqing is uncle's bedside person?So...the day Xie Caiqing took the medicine, why did my uncle tell him to go...in the Mingyan Pagoda, in front of my uncle...

King Qi's face was ashen, and his sweat was pouring down like rain.

"'May I ask what the relationship is, so that I wear that person's things close to my neck, for fear that others will see it, and I love it', so I have to ask Zhuangyuanlang, what is the relationship between me and Zhuangyuanlang?" Xiao Yun He looked at the beautiful Xie Caiqing with a playful face.

Xie Caiqing buried her head deeply, as if she was about to die and not lift it up: "...I didn't know that the jade belonged to His Majesty."

The courtier was stunned at this sentence for a long time before he heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that His Majesty was joking.

They thought His Majesty fell in love with a man!

Luckily fortunately!

They said, no matter how absurd your majesty is, he will not play with courtiers!

Xiao Yun said: "Then why did Zhuangyuan Lang tell King Qi that I have had sex with you?"

Several generals laughed abruptly.

Xie Caiqing's eyes were blushing amidst bursts of thunderous laughter, and a real sense of shame welled up a little, and she barely suppressed it, and it took a long while before she squeezed the words between her teeth: "That day... The king made things difficult for the minister, and the humble minister had no choice but to talk nonsense and get away, Your Majesty forgives the crime!"

The courtiers suddenly realized that Xie Caiqing said it tactfully, but it is impossible for people here not to know what "embarrassment" means.

It's no wonder that Xie Caiqing didn't know that the jade actually belonged to the emperor, so he made such a big oolong.

Xiao Yun didn't intend to let him go, and asked lazily: "Then why are you wearing it around your neck? According to King Qi, don't you have a deep love for me?"

The courtier realized how inappropriate it was to laugh now, and couldn't bear to hold back the laughter.

Xie Caiqing bit her lip and said: "... I am young, seeing it... it looks good, I like it, but I am afraid that it will be broken, so I wear it around my neck, and I am afraid that others will see it and cause trouble for His Majesty. But I didn’t expect it to be…”

"I like it because it looks good, so the champion doesn't like me?" Xiao Yun asked with a smile.

The general couldn't stop laughing.

Xie Caiqing's entire face turned slightly red, and she was still steaming faintly: "...Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and is admired and loved by all civil and military courts."

Xiao Yun said with a smile: "Ask the number one scholar, not the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty."

Xie Caiqing wrung her hands, and remained silent for a while. Under the eyes of everyone, her voice became lower and almost inaudible: "... I am a humble minister, and I like and like Your Majesty."

Xiao Yun's heart moved, his heart was full of joy, and a smile bloomed on his lips.

Xie Caiqing: "Everyone in the world likes Your Majesty—"

Xiao Yun lazily interrupted him before he said what he was not happy to hear, and looked at everyone: "Look, did you hear that? I like Zhuangyuan Lang, so I gave a piece of jade. Zhuangyuan Lang also said he likes me, so I put I wear my things next to my body, so I and him are adulterers, and I have already had sex with him."

The courtiers no longer knew whether to laugh or not.

Xiao Yun looked at the distraught King Qi: "King Qi, you need to check my daily life note again to see if I have had the honor of being the number one scholar?"

Xie Zhe was taken aback, the corners of his mouth tensed up.

If it hadn't been for some accident, there would be a lucky record on the internal daily life note.

He glanced at Xie Caiqing and felt that if he hadn't been in the court hall, Xie Caiqing would have dug a hole to bury himself.

King Qi knelt heavily on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I deserve death for my sin!"

Zhang Ninghan also knelt down, trembling like a sieve.

Xiao Yun sighed: "May I ask if it wasn't that the real adulterer is me, would Zhang Aiqing be indisputable? Is Zhuangyuan Lang indisputable? There are all witnesses and evidences. How nice it sounds. It is convincing. It looks so similar. Really, I almost believed it, and I was still thinking about when I would be lucky enough to pass the number one scholar."

"...Your Majesty is wise!"

Many courtiers were also afraid for a while.

Just because of a piece of jade, just because of talent being envied by others, just because of appearance being missed by others, just because of being poor and helpless, just because of a well-intentioned letter of persuasion, he almost turned black and white, and called the respected Zhang Gongmou fame All ruined and his family humiliated, the fledgling number one scholar ruined his future and was ridiculed all his life.

They all knew in their hearts that if His Majesty hadn't been involved in this matter, Zhang Gongmou and Xie Caiqing would have had a disastrous end. Even if no one really saw the two having an affair, the gossip was enough to kill them both.

The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, this kind of sudden disaster that cannot be prevented makes their backs shudder, and when they come to their senses, they all hate King Qi, for fear that they will suffer such a crime.

Xiao Yun looked at Zhang Gongmou, all the teasing on his face, and his expression was dignified: "Zhang Aiqing and Xie Caiqing have never met each other, why did you write a letter for him?"

Zhang Gongmou glanced at King Qi coldly: "Although the old minister has never met Xie Caiqing, he appreciates his talent as a man, and he can't bear to be defiled by traitors! That's why, regardless of his fame and family, he also writes a letter for him. Resolve conflicts!"

"Defiled by an adulterer? Why do you say such heavy words?" Xiao Yun pretended to be puzzled.

Zhang Gongmou looked around and scolded angrily: "Are you all still pretending to be stupid?! You must all know better than me what happened to Mingyan Pagoda that day! How many people's mansions did King Qi's people go to last night? Do you want me to come out one by one?!"

"I, Zhang Gongmou, have considered myself an official for more than forty years. I am worthy of anyone and have a clear conscience. How many of you have been favored by me, but now you are collaborating with King Qi to frame me and Zhuangyuanlang, what are your intentions!"

"If it weren't for His Majesty today, my Zhang family would be wronged and wronged, and I would be ridiculed!"

"Your Majesty is magnanimous. He has always been lenient and set things right. You can still redeem your merits and offset your merits and demerits! Otherwise, if you really want to investigate thoroughly, you will not be able to bear it all! At my age, Mr. Zhang, I am not afraid of death! I am not afraid of death! I want to fight you hard to the end, and let you give an explanation!"

"My Zhang family also has many descendants. If Zhang Gongmou didn't finish it, my Zhang family descendants will finish it for me!"

"Yes!" Zhang Gongmou's two sons stood up filled with righteous indignation, and said coldly, "If you don't return my Zhang family's innocence today, and don't give us an explanation, as long as I live for a day, I will never let it go!"

The courtiers who knelt down to reconsider King Qi were terrified.

Zhang Gongmou's two sons are both from Yushitai. If you really want to offend them, they can drown them with just spitting.

Kneeling courtiers were dripping with sweat.

Zhang Gongmou said coldly: "I don't want King Qi to kowtow, I just want to ask, what should King Qi do for persecuting Zhuangyuan Lang?!"

"King Qi created something out of nothing and framed the veteran, what crime should he be?!"

"King Qi formed a clique for personal gain and secretly communicated with officials, what should he do?!"

"King Qi has repeatedly blasphemed His Majesty, uttered wild words, and slandered His Majesty, what should he do?!"

Zhang Gongmou's voice was louder than his body, and he questioned sharply, his voice shook the hall.

Xiao Yun clicked his tongue, Zhang Gongmou is still Zhang Gongmou, it is easy to use, and he is reluctant to let him go.

Many courtiers have a bit of aftertaste.

Zhang Gongmou is a treacherous and cunning man, and it is impossible for him to write a letter to King Qi for Xie Caiqing because of "appreciation of character and talent".

It's not surprising that Liu Yun, who has a bad temper and hates evil, did it. Zhang Gongmou, in his next life.

Unless...he wanted to deliberately hand over false information to King Qi.

Why do you do this.

Zhang Gongmou and Xie Caiqing are on one side, and Xie Caiqing is on the other side of the emperor.

So this time... the emperor and Zhang Gongmou are on the same side.

Even the fledgling Xie Caiqing knows how to be euphemistic, but Zhang Gongmou, a seasoned official in the officialdom, openly pointed out King Qi's misconduct. He didn't save the emperor's relatives any face.

To set things right, to pay the merits to the crimes, to offset the merits and demerits, or to conduct a thorough investigation...

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty secretly glanced at the man on the dragon chair who was watching the fire from the other side, and fear and awe once again reached the extreme in their hearts. They all looked at each other, and everyone said in unison: "King Qi has blasphemed the Holy One, and it is a death penalty. Please His Majesty thoroughly investigate and punish him." The eldest princess has no way to teach her children, please investigate thoroughly and punish her majesty!"

The kneeling King Qi was as limp as mud, rolled his eyes, and passed out.
