Chapter 1106

"Tell your majesty that Wei Chen can also testify about this matter. Gong Cheng dared to ask your majesty for marriage that day because she wanted to repay her life-saving kindness with a promise. In fact, she didn't love her at all. She always treated her with courtesy after marriage. But after thinking about it, I felt that it was inappropriate to miss her life, so I chose to leave without authorization a few months ago. I hope your majesty will not blame her... "

I couldn't help but blurt out the excuse. Xiang Yan, who had a bad secret, bit his teeth. He knew that getting rid of the relationship was the best protection for her at the moment, but

"The rest of the crime will be borne by the minister alone, and the minister will never complain!"

The important officials of the imperial court did not investigate much about Xiang Yan's concern for his momentary slip of tongue. As early as half a year ago, it seemed that emperor yuan Gu, who turned into a matchmaker, did not know how many courtiers had been married. Just like the marriage between Princess Saian and Hao Shenying, they only said that Hao Shenying took the initiative to beg for marriage. Emperor yuan Gu agreed to the marriage without hesitation, so that Xiang Yan's marriage with Gong Cheng was so popular at that time, It has long been forgotten by everyone.

But it is for this reason that when they were mentioned by the fourth prince at the moment, they saw that many of them were fishy.

Ministers can naturally see Xiang Yan's clumsy lie. The so-called kindness to save lives is just a prevarication. If it is used on civilian women, it is indeed reasonable to promise each other by example, but Gong Cheng is the daughter of the prime minister who is loved by thousands of people. If there is nothing he wants, how can he give his life as a reward to the benefactor?

So why did she abandon Xiang Yan and where did she go?

For a time, all the courtiers looked left and right one after another with secret suspicion. Once you get involved with interests, nothing can become simple.

Looking at the people around talking and whispering, Gong Shizhong looked calm and knew that only himself could save the scene in time.

"Your Majesty, this is by no means the crime of Xiang Yan alone. If you really want to investigate it, the old minister can't shirk his responsibility. In fact, the old minister knew what had happened between him and me. At the beginning, the little girl didn't listen to the old minister's words and insisted on begging your majesty for marriage. After brewing bitter fruit, she was surprised to realize that she loved childe Hao Liu. However, the overall situation had been decided. When she was repenting, she learned that general Yan wanted to be a beautiful man. She recklessly disobeyed the holy gift marriage without informing the old minister from the beginning... "

"Afterwards, the little girl was ashamed of her impulse at that time, so she went to Wuling Mountain and decided to fast for a year and pray for her majesty. Please also ask your majesty to bypass cheng'er and Xiang Yan for the sake of the little girl's sincere repentance and the old minister's dedication to your majesty! "

In the twinkling of an eye, the depressed Jinluan hall staged a farce like a child's house. Prime Minister Gong's words fell, and no minister echoed or questioned them. It was quiet enough to hear the movement of a needle falling on the ground. The expressionless Guyuan Emperor didn't mean to be angry, but looked at the fourth prince.

"Now, yu'er, you know, that's the truth?"

This is too short a sentence. It sounds more or less like a partial sentence. But everyone here understood that this was just your Majesty's hasty action to come to Taiwan for the sake of the fourth Prince and Prime Minister Gong. In this way, you finally felt that there was still hope for the Guyuan Dynasty

Only a fresh and refined fourth prince opened his mouth and seemed to want to refute something. Gong Shizhong saw that the cold sweat on his forehead began to seep out. He glanced at him in a hurry, with some vigilance in his eyes and hatred for iron and steel.

I don't know whether it was because I finally realized that things were bad, or because Gong Shizhong was also an old minister and there was a imperial concubine loved by the emperor behind him, the fourth Prince closed his mouth silently.

Seeing that the fourth prince was finally no longer entangled, Gong Shizhong quietly breathed a sigh of relief at the bottom of his heart. Then he turned to Guyuan Emperor: "what the old minister said is absolutely true and can guarantee his life. If there is any deception..."

"All right, all right." In the middle of Gong Shizhong's words, the solitary Yuan emperor on the Dragon chair waved his hand and swore loyalty to him.

This has always been the emperor's consistent style of behavior. No one is suspicious at all. On the contrary, they all look sympathetically at the fourth prince who died before he was successful. Of course, he may not be worthy of such praise.

"Pardon, do you know the sin?" The solitary Yuan emperor on the Dragon chair also kept his eyes on the fourth prince.

"My son is guilty!" Fortunately, Amnesty also has a brain. Without obsession, he immediately admitted his mistakes.

Seeing his sincere performance, the anger in the heart of Guyuan emperor finally dissipated half. I really didn't expect that my parents and children were either stupid or too smart in my military life. His calm eyes stayed on amnesty Jue for a few seconds, and then returned to Amnesty Yu.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as the voice of Guyuan emperor fell, the amnesty reputation under the stage was stunned. The previous tearful sincerity disappeared without a trace, and even showed a moment of panic.

His performance had to make everyone around him stunned.

These four princes... Don't you think your majesty will let him go as easily as Prime Minister Gong

Looking at the four princes who were really like what they thought, they began to tremble a little, and a series of cold sweats kept coming out of their forehead. They didn't know what to say. The ministers held their breath and didn't even dare to say a word.

"My son is wrong." After a long time, Amnesty Yu began to speak tremblingly, and these words almost seemed to be forced out of his teeth

Now even emperor yuan was speechless.

So they guessed that after looking at each other, they all looked at the people on the Dragon chair. Their cautious but very firm eyes seemed to indicate that they would keep their mouth shut about the fact that the fourth prince had some intellectual obstacles.

Feeling a row of sympathetic eyes from below, emperor yuan was completely helpless.

……

In the morning when many ordinary people are still awake, the tireless birds are still singing, and a ray of morning light shines into the exquisite water chestnut window as usual.

The brightly lit main hall has a faint fragrance. Although the appearance and furnishings are not as luxurious as other adjacent palaces, they are extremely warm and can give people a sense of home.

The well-dressed maid waited respectfully at the door early.

A lady who knew she was higher than them by looking at her clothes, came with a gold basin and moved to the dressing table.

A pair of slender hands gradually protruded from the moon white exquisite clothes, picked up the silk face towel in the basin and slowly moved to the face.

The beauty in the mirror has no red lips and faces the sky. She still can't hide her elegant temperament, but she seems a little absent-minded.
