Lei Yue Longmen

Chapter 343 Banquet Murder

Yunzai? Jumped onto the carriage.When she conveyed the original words of the son-in-law, Your Majesty? It seemed very unpleasant, and the tone was perfunctory, but Yunzai has long been used to everything? You can't look at the appearance, you have to see what these actions will lead to in the end.

For example, Your Majesty? After saying this sentence, Yun Zai observed that there was a faint red circle in her eyes.

"There just happened to be a case that required her to come forward."

There's a case that requires her to come forward?Mean? Allowed?Yun Zai was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to celebrate presumptuously, so he just pretended nothing happened, "Then... shall I make arrangements?"

That night, Cen Zhu was loaded into a vegetable cart, turned left and right, and entered the palace with seven turns and eight turns.When she crawled out from the pile of vegetables, she was very surprised that there was such a remote place in the palace.Until a melodious sound of the piano came, the familiar sound of Jiaofangsi reminded herself that she really had returned to the palace.

Yun Zai helped her pick off the vegetable leaves on her head, and brought her a little eunuch's clothes to change into. Cen Zhu asked, "Why is it so lively up front?"

"It's the second princess's birthday. Your Majesty specially held a family banquet in Kangde Palace, and invited the Ningbei Hou Mansion, as well as the princes and ministers."

"Oh, me? Tell me why you brought so many dishes into the palace."

When Cen Zhu stood in front of the gate of Wuwei Palace, a lot of emotions surged up? He stood in front of the gate and hesitated to go in.Yun Zai hurriedly pulled her in. "Sister Huaqing, there is no one from here to Yuqing Pavilion. You go to take a shower and change clothes first. I? Go report to Your Majesty."

Cen Zhu anxiously watched her leave, and walked into Yuqing Pavilion alone.Looking at those familiar old things, all placed in familiar positions, her heart was sour, and she didn't completely regain her calm until her body was completely immersed in Yuqing Pond.The warm spring water turned into delicate palms, wrapping her gently.She lay in it and soaked comfortably for a while, then picked up the bath towel next to it, and rubbed it gently on her arms, unexpectedly, several long sticks of mud with pointed ends came out.

She had a chill? There was no emotion left.Roughly flicked up the bath towel and rubbed himself up and down.The hair strands are also washed with soap locust one by one.When she came out, she saw that the water seemed to have changed color, so she gave a fake cough and pretended not to see it.Fortunately, this water is running water, and it will be filtered out after a while.Cen Zhu dried his hair by the incense burner in the outer room, put on clean clothes, rinsed his mouth several times with tooth salt, swallowed a piece of mint, and stretched contentedly on the warm mat, feeling refreshed , happy like a fairy.

When Su He saw her walking into the hall, he called out "Ah", both surprised and delighted, "My son-in-law, you're back!"

Cen Zhu's eyes were calm, but his heart was actually more excited than him. He took out the mint slice from his mouth, "Well, how have you been doing these days when I'm not here?"

Su Hedao: "Your Majesty, you said that the son-in-law is recuperating outside, and we are not allowed to disclose it to the outside world. We offer food and drink as usual every day, and Eunuch Liang often comes to visit the sick. Everyone in the palace thinks that the son-in-law is still in the palace. We are looking forward to the son-in-law's recovery from illness, but we did not expect the son-in-law to come back."

Seeing his teary eyes, Cen Zhu didn't expect this confidant to be so "affectionate" to him, so he immediately handed him a piece of plum blossom cake.

Clinker, Su He reflexively yelled again, "How can a son-in-law eat anything casually!" Then he took out a silver needle from his pocket.

Cen Zhu withdrew his hand, "Okay, okay, okay, no one knows me? Here, who would poison the cakes! Really?!"

Su He took back the silver needle hesitantly, and said earnestly: "Although the son-in-law doesn't live here, outsiders don't know, the son-in-law still? Be careful?."

"I'm so scared of you!"

Cen Zhu went up to the second floor, and found that her dormitory was still in the same state as he had left. Hanging on the dragon head hanger on the left, you can smell the newly dyed sandalwood if you smell it carefully.

"Your Majesty? Although you don't live here, you will come here every day at noon to rest for a while." Su He confessed.

Cen Zhu felt sad when he heard the words, and looked at the makeup mirror opposite. On the stage was a large bronze mirror screen, with a three-layer dowry on each side, one on the left and one on the right. The incense beads and hairpins she usually used were the least important The first floor, and the others, like the bedroom of the Wuwei Palace, were all used by Li Jingchen to the best of their ability.Exquisite phoenix hairpins, flower hairpins, jinbuyao, yinhuadian, jade combs, and agate earrings are neatly arranged in the makeup box, each of which is exquisite, but Cen Zhu rarely saw her actually wearing it before. When you go out, you just take a picture in front of the bronze mirror and ask her to come? Criticism, if you go out of this door, you won't recognize her at all.How many lives up to the value of these treasures.

Picking up the lotus petal-shaped agate earrings, Cen Zhu thought of something, his expression changed from hesitation to surprise, and then he couldn't help laughing.That's it? She couldn't wait to kiss her once, and saw the white and pink earrings hanging on her ears, which were cute and cute, and they sucked them together with the earlobes, and licked them greedily for a long time.Afterwards, she said that the earrings were covered with saliva and she refused to take them anymore, so she threw them away angrily.Cen Zhu picked it up secretly, and hid it in the deepest part of the drawer. Every time it did this, it went around and returned to its "original" position.Her insincerity was as lovely as this hapless onyx earring.Cen Zhu had missed this feeling for a long time.

After regaining consciousness, she gently put the earrings back to the original place, and turned her head to see the deer breeding book that she had already read and folded a lot of horns on the bedside table.There is also a folding fan on the blue seal.Cen Zhuo opened the folding fan, it was the one most commonly used when enjoying the cool in summer, the picture of two carps playing with lotus, and there was no dust on it.She flicked her wrist slightly, trying to recall the cool breeze that was filled with the beauty's fragrance last summer, but no matter how many times she flicked her wrist, it was always empty when she fell into her arms.

Thinking of this, longing suddenly arose in her heart, and it was hard to restrain it.He went downstairs and came downstairs, just in time to meet Yun Zai who came in a hurry.For some reason, her complexion was very ugly.

"what happened?"

Yun Zai was full of grievances, and his words were a little off-putting.

"What's the matter? Isn't it? Your ex-wife who came back from the dead inexplicably made trouble! Now everyone is talking about your majesty behind your back? Competing with the traitor's sister for a husband. Your majesty? When did the majestic king of a country suffer such injustice? Insult, isn't it? Thanks to you...you!"

Hearing this, Cen Zhu was a little harsh, and her face was hot, but she knew that Yun Zai would not get angry for no reason, and her worry about Li Jingzhu overwhelmed everything.

"What's going on? Tell me? Listen?"

"Just now at the banquet, someone deliberately brought up the case of Mrs. Gu, saying that your ex-wife remarried before she died, which violated the principles of human ethics. Afterwards, you shirked responsibility and didn't miss your ex-wife at all. Is it ungrateful? , should be sentenced to death. Your Majesty? In that position, it is wrong to say anything, I? Or? This is the first time I saw her being so embarrassed in front of my courtiers."

When Cen Zhu heard the words, he immediately went out.She knew that Li Jingchen had always been proud and arrogant, so such humiliation, let alone an empress, even an ordinary woman would not be able to bear it.

When she arrived at the banquet, the banquet seemed to be drawing to a close.The maiko musicians of the Jiaofang Division were leaving, and she saw Nan Yu was also inside.Seeing her appear, her face was surprised and bewildered, with a hint of worry.Unsurprisingly, the audience was full of needle-like gazes, and the people sitting on both sides looked at her in surprise or contempt.Perhaps in their eyes, her existence has already become a empress' shame.

The roots of Cen Zhu's ears were burning hot, and she regretted for a moment, maybe she shouldn't have come?It's not? I'm afraid of gossip, but I'm afraid of bringing Li Jingchen an even more embarrassing situation.But? Things? Now, there is no other way out, she can't let Li Jingchen face such an embarrassing situation alone.

She caught sight of the stunned figure on the steps of the Majesty, she settled down, and walked forward, "Your Majesty? The minister is late? I am willing to accept the punishment."

The entire Kant Palace was suddenly dead silent.

"Sister, this is...my birthday gift. You said that this birthday gift is decided by me."

Li Jingchen was stunned, and instinctively replied "Yes".Li Jingxi got up immediately, "Your Majesty? Since you allow me to make the decision, please ask Your Majesty to give me a token, which can also be used as a proof."

"what do you want?"

"Of course it is? The more authoritative the thing that can represent His Majesty, the better," Li Jingxi smiled confusedly, and glanced at her, "Just the saber on your Majesty's body!"

"Nonsense!" Li Jingchen refused, "A sword has no eyes, is it a joke?"

However, Li Jingxi begged: "Your Majesty? I said something earlier, this is my sister's birthday. I will give you anything you want? Your Majesty? You have said so well, did you forget it so soon? Or? Say... Your Majesty? I feel sorry for the son-in-law." , don't want me to punish her?"

Li Jingchen was questioned, so he rewarded her with the sword, but he was ordered: "Don't take it out of its sheath."

Li Jingxi twitched the corners of his lips, "Your Majesty? After all, I love my brother-in-law, and my sister obeys the order?"

After finishing speaking, he took his sword and walked to the steps of His Majesty, and said coldly to the person who knelt down to plead guilty, "Concubine, are you guilty?"

Cen Zhu was full of thoughts about sacrificing his life for benevolence, and immediately kowtowed: "I am guilty."

"Keep your head up."

Cen Zhu doesn't know what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd?Yiyan raised her head, but when she heard a gust of wind beside her ear, she received a loud slap on the face with a "slap", and her whole body was shaken to the side by that force.Everyone in the audience gasped in surprise, and Chuan Feiyan even stood up straight away.

"Let Your Majesty? Suffer criticism? Your fault?! You must keep this slap in your heart."

Cen Zhu threw himself on the ground, his hat fell to the side, his mind was buzzing, and he couldn't get up for a long time.Chuan Feiyan's eyes were red, and she wanted to rush up to help her up, but Jiang Yiting forcibly held her down.She had been classmates with Cen Zhuo for many years, but had she ever seen her suffer such humiliation, she was so angry that she couldn't move.Cen Zhu gritted his teeth and tried to get up with his arms. He tasted a fishy smell in his mouth, and subconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, and it turned out to be bleeding.Looking back at those eyes that were extremely similar to Li Jingbai's, but with a murderous look, for some reason, a strange fear rose in his heart.

Li Jing immediately turned his back, "Sister, I? The punishment is over. The sword is not out of its sheath."

As if proving her innocence, she showed the sword in the servant's hand.He walked up to the red-robed officer who was seated on the opposite side, and said, "Li Shi is in the middle, do you think I'm going to be punished?"

The old man was suddenly terrified, got up from his seat, came out and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, old minister... old minister just now? I was drunk and slipped my words for a while......just..."

He was dripping with cold sweat, how could he know that things would develop like this.No matter how unbearable the prince consort is, he is still the pillow of His Majesty, who can be killed and never humiliated. Princess Kant's contribution to the flames directly exposed their true intentions, which is tantamount to committing public anger and provoking ? A lot of people's sympathy.

"A momentary slip of the tongue? As an adjudicator, Mr. Li should know what crimes are those who falsely comment on His Majesty's right or wrong?"

"Lord Qiu, why don't you tell Li Shizhong about Yurui's criminal name."

Qiu Jianben bowed and said, "Whoever makes false comments on His Majesty? Right or wrong is disrespectful and should be executed!"

Li Jingxi suddenly drew out his sword.

"Dai Jing, stop?!"

Before Her Majesty's voice fell, the long sword pierced straight into Li Shi's chest.The red-robed official let out a miserable cry, blood gushed out of his throat, and pointed at Li Jingxi, "Kang... old minister..." He fell down straight in front of her, his eyeballs protruding, and he couldn't bear to die.

All this happened so fast that many people didn't realize it?Even Cen Zhu, whose body was spattered with blood, couldn't believe the fact that Li Jinghui killed the man himself when he saw that face that was so close to him and fell to the ground.

The buzzing in her ears became louder, and it seemed that a lot of people started screaming. She was swayed from side to side by the crowd, and she almost couldn't stand still.How was brought back to Wuwei Palace, I have no memory at all.It wasn't until Yun Zai put hot eggs on her face that she remembered and asked, "How is Li Shizhong?"

Yun Zai sighed and said, "The imperial physician said that the wound was too deep and there was no cure on the spot."

In the middle of the night, Cen Zhuo waited to find out the result of this matter—Princess Kant was just fined to stay in the palace, contemplating her mistakes behind closed doors, and was not allowed to leave the palace gate without an edict.But Li Shi? Zhong? was only awarded the third-class earl, and the Ministry of Rites arranged for a generous funeral and a large amount of money to support his family.

Although there were rewards and punishments, she didn't point out right or wrong, which meant that, as she expected, this round was won by Li Jingxi.

In Cen Zhu's heart, that fear struck again. She didn't know whether the Li family were? The person she wanted to kill died cleanly and without leaving a word.

Afterwards, even the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which has the most tongues, kept silent about it.After all, no matter how unbearable the prince-in-law is, it's your majesty's family business. Without any evidence that the consort is "deliberately" deceiving your majesty, it's a matter of course to make rash conclusions with just one mouthful. No, it belongs to? It's your own fault.It's just that His Majesty has always been lenient. If it wasn't Princess Kant's birthday banquet that night, and if His Majesty didn't promise that Princess Kant will decide everything at the banquet, maybe Old Li would still be able to save his life.It can only be said that his luck was too bad, and he fell into the hands of the wayward Princess Kant.
