Chapter 239 Xue Lan meets the Holy Spirit
It was the morning of the court, Xue Lan was wearing plain clothes, holding Song Lian's spiritual throne in her arms, her eyes were bloodshot after not sleeping for several days, the guards did not dare to stop her, but they watched her enter the main hall, and then the scene above appeared.

In front of all the civil and military officials, although the emperor was angry, he could not be too harsh. When he learned that Meng Yan had actually kidnapped Gu Qingyou, he recalled that Meng Guifei had vaguely mentioned to him before that she really wanted to marry Gu Qingyou to Meng Yan. Yan.

I thought to myself, idiot, this fact belongs to the Gu family, so why should Meng Yan go to such trouble?

Women are always thin-skinned, and the act of asking for marriage in public was really Meng Lang. Gu refused, maybe because she wanted to refuse, or she was deliberately trying to take advantage of Qiao, and gave her some favors in private, so she was not afraid that she would not nod.

But Meng Yan tied up the person, which was simply unnecessary.

Now, fortunately, Mr.

"Madam, is there any misunderstanding in this? I once heard the noble concubine say that Yan'er was fond of the Gu family and wanted to ask me to marry her. How could she be kidnapped?"

"Your Majesty clearly knows that although Youyou has reconciled with Quanzi, she has long been in love with the courtier's wife as mother and daughter. That day, Meng Yan proposed to marry her in public regardless of her reputation. Youyou felt uneasy and went to find the courtier's wife and asked her to refuse on her behalf. Unexpectedly, But he was hated by Meng Yan and kidnapped him directly. His life and death are still uncertain..."

Mr. Xue was not yet forty years old. She had good looks when she was young. After marrying Song Lian, her family house was clean, so she spent most of her time on maintaining it.

And after Xue Lan came, she cherished her youthful and beautiful appearance even more. She did all kinds of sports and skin care. Coupled with her temperament accumulated over the years, she looked noble and arrogant.

Now the beauty was in tears, and Meng Yan was a little haggard as a result of being whipped all night long. Coupled with her plain white clothes, she added just the right sense of vulnerability to the always strong woman, so that all the civil and military officials behind her felt pity for her, and some bold , and couldn't help but come forward to help.

The originally quiet court hall was now buzzing, and most of them were talking for Xue Lan, which made the emperor very upset.

This matter was indeed the fault of the Meng family, but in his opinion, Xue Lan's move was just an excuse to earn reputation for the Duke's government.

Strangely enough, he remembered that Mrs. Knowing that he was a scoundrel and a scoundrel, the words "jealous" and "unvirtuous" were used when mentioning the Duke's wife, so when Xue Lan appeared in the hall just now, he originally wanted to have her taken away by force in the name of being a scoundrel.

However, the scene was different from what he imagined.

Xue Lan was a man of two generations and had been in the shopping mall for more than ten years. Naturally, he could see what he was thinking, and his behavior became more and more respectful. He must not let the emperor make any mistakes.
The emperor finally couldn't make peace, so he had to say: "Then what do you want to do, madam?"

Xue Lan took a deep breath, first placed Song Lian's spiritual tablet upright on the ground, then knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Since I was newly widowed, I think about all the things that happened to the Duke during his lifetime, and I feel that I owe a lot. Now even his only close friend If I can't protect my orphaned daughter, how can I have the dignity to go see him in the future? I dare to ask Your Majesty to let Meng Yan pay for it with my life!"

"absurd!"

The dragon's face was angry, and all the officials fell down.

The emperor's eyes were dim as he looked at Xue Lan's head at the foot of the stairs. Gu's life was so despicable, how could he deserve the fate of his concubine and his own brother?

But there are still laws in this dynasty, and the prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people. As the emperor, even if he has partiality, he cannot express it clearly.

Just as the two parties were in a stalemate, a panicked little chamberlain suddenly ran out of the palace. He ran so fast that he tripped over the threshold and threw himself from the door to Xue Lan's side.

"Your Majesty, no, no, it's not good! The imperial concubine has fainted!"

The emperor should have scolded him for trespassing into the court, but instead he asked: "What's going on?" The chamberlain looked at Xue Lan aside with trepidation, and muttered: "The empress received news that the Meng family..."

Xue Lan was noncommittal and didn't even look at him.

The emperor was getting anxious, and raised his voice a little: "What happened to the Meng family?"

"Back to Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, I just received news that the Duke's Mansion sent people to surround the Meng family and arrested the eldest young master. Madam fell ill in fear. Now the Meng family is in chaos, and your Majesty is also unconscious. Your Majesty, please move over and take a look!”

The courtiers looked at Xue Lan in shock. This duchess was so courageous that she dared to bypass the emperor and attack the Meng family directly. She was not afraid of punishment from the emperor?
When Xue Lan made the decision, she never thought that she could hide it from the emperor. However, she still underestimated the Meng family and handed the news to the palace despite being surrounded by two hundred elite soldiers.

It's just that she lowered her eyes and looked at the person who came in. As an eunuch in the inner palace, she actually called a commoner the young master, but she forgot that the real master should be the one on the dragon throne!
"What you said is unjust, father-in-law. Those government soldiers were just escorting your eldest young master back to the government. There were many eyes on the street watching, but they didn't want to spit on anyone!"

She deliberately emphasized the words "your eldest young master", and the emperor's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He secretly cursed the idiot in his heart, but he still threw the fold in his hand to the ground and scolded: "How dare you, Mr. Xue! How dare you act without permission?" Is it a serious crime to round up officials?”

Who would have thought that Xue Lan stood up without being humble or arrogant, and looked directly at his superior: "I dare you, my wife, to ask what position Meng Yan holds in the court? What rank does he hold?"

"This……"

The emperor was immediately choked up. Although Meng Yan was the imperial concubine's brother, he did not hold any official position. He was just a white man.

"Although Meng Yan has no official status, Mr. Meng is a former imperial censor. Even if he is at home, he cannot be detained arbitrarily!"

If it had been anyone else, he would have been so frightened that he was lying on the ground at this moment, but Xue Lan spread his hands in aggrieved tone: "Your Majesty, I have indeed sent people to guard the Meng family, but I didn't say not to let the people inside out!"

The little chamberlain who came to report the news choked and retorted without hesitation: "You are talking nonsense! The person who reported the news said that the Meng family is now surrounded by water, not even a fly can fly out, and the person who was sent home by the Duke's Palace You are not our eldest young master at all!"

Xue Lan glanced at him coolly: "You can come out to report the news, is it considered a prison sentence? What do you mean, the soldiers raised by our father-in-law are all useless?

Can’t? "

These words may seem sarcastic, but they have a profound meaning. She has not forgotten that according to the regulations of this dynasty, civil servants are not allowed to support soldiers.

But the men of the Meng family were able to break through the 200 elite soldiers of the Duke's Mansion to send out the news. They must have hidden many masters. Thanks to Concubine Meng's eagerness to jump over the wall, she even exposed her flaw. If she didn't take the opportunity to give her some eye drops, she wouldn't be able to stand up to this stupid opponent. .

The emperor was already suspicious, but when he heard Xue Lan's words, he had to squint his eyes and think about it even though he knew it was a deliberate provocation.

Seeing that the chamberlain was dripping with cold sweat and wanted to argue, he said displeasedly: "I understand, please step aside and trespass into the court hall, and go and get the board yourself!"

Looking at Xue Lan again, she could only hold back her anger and said: "Since it is not a confinement, Madam should evacuate the people early to avoid panic among the people in the capital."
