famous eldest daughter

Chapter 285 Rumors
In fact, the queen immediately regretted her words just now.

Not to mention that a temper tantrum would cut off her not-so-grand kindness, but the words just now, with such strength, I'm afraid all the ministers and guests outside could hear clearly at this moment.

I deliberately made a speech in front of the emperor, and let the guests come to the Chenxiang Pavilion together in an unruly manner, in order to help Jing Yu and let everyone know about Gu Yuqing's scandal, but right now...

What is self-drinking of bitter water, the queen can be said to understand.

I feel so full of regret that I feel like I am soaked in lotus juice.

But there is no turning back when opening the bow, if she can't make more use of today's incident, Jing Yu's crime will really be in vain.

The shadowy eyes were full of resentment, the queen's drooping eyelashes were half covered, and the shadow cast on the bottom of the eyes swayed with the trembling of the eyelashes.

When the emperor finished speaking, the queen raised the veil to cover her face and choked with sobs, "Your Majesty, there is only one person under my knees, and I love her like a treasure every day. Seeing her suffer such a calamity, how can I not feel resentment or anger in my heart? Although I am the mother of the country, in the final analysis, I am just an ordinary mother."

The empress's weeping sound was terrific, no matter how angry the emperor was, he couldn't help but be moved by the crying, and the suspicion that had just surged up just now faded a bit.

Glancing out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the emperor's expression moving slightly, and the queen's choked up voice became more and more sad, "Your Majesty, the concubine has no intention of trying to pick anyone up. I have been with Concubine Hui for more than ten years. How have the concubine treated her? Your Majesty Don't you know, it's just what happened today, it's really not a concubine talking nonsense."

As she said that, the empress hid the hatred in her eyes, and with huge mournful pupils flickering slightly, she raised her eyes to look at Concubine Hui, "I'm just talking about the facts, and in all fairness, neither Gongsun Yan nor the young prince of Pingxi Palace can be that madman." , as for Dong Ce, no matter his body shape or age, he is exactly the same as the back of the madman we saw. Comparing your heart to your heart, if it is Yu'er who will be hurt tomorrow, won't you be anxious? Don't you see that it may be the real murderer? Just because he is a relative of a certain concubine, can we let him go without any suspicion?"

Instead of being so furious and roaring like thunder just now, the Queen's choking and sobbing voice was actually more convincing, making people listen, and their thoughts could not help but follow her thoughts.

As sad as she was, she turned her head and glanced at Xiao Jingyu. The distress in her eyes was overwhelming. Her head swayed step by step according to the movements of her head, swaying from side to side, shining with radiant luster. The unique luster of gold when exposed to the sun shone in the air. The profile of her face added a sense of despair to her plain white face, which made people's heart ache.

Seeing his wife of many years acting like this, the suspicion in the emperor's heart faded a little, and he ordered: "Leave Dong Ce behind, and everyone else will go back to the banquet hall and wait."

Before the real culprit is caught, no one who enters the palace today can leave first.

Following the emperor's words, the empress looked into Xiao Jingyu's eyes, and a smile appeared amidst the grief, while Concubine Hui's fingers holding the handkerchief were suddenly cold.

Sure enough, your kindness is like water, it can be hot or cold.

Not to mention whether Dong Ce was the real murderer or not, at this moment, the emperor kept him alone because he would rather kill him by mistake than let him go.

Only in this way, where would it put Dong Ce, where would it put the Yongning Marquis Mansion, and what kind of situation would it put her.

What's more, Yu'er and Dong Ce have always been good friends. Dong Ce was criticized by others, which made Yu'er how to deal with himself.

After the emperor finished speaking, the servant-in-law immediately turned around and left. He couldn't take more than three or four steps just now, when he heard Xiao Yu's voice behind him, "My son, go and spread the word. Whether it is the real murderer has yet to be found out, what if it is wronged?" ! If we just leave Dong Ce here like this, how can people talk about him?"

His tone was filled with exasperated annoyance and worry.

Xiao Yu and Dong Ce had always had a good relationship, and it was reasonable for him to defend Dong Ce at this time. The emperor nodded in agreement, and Xiao Yu stepped out and walked out.

The heavy wooden door creaked open and closed with a creak. The waiter stood in the corridor and watched Xiao Yu walking towards Dong Ce.

The corners of his black brocade robe were blown by the wind. When he saw Xiao Yu approaching, Dong Ce's face was full of anxiety. "How are you?" his voice was very low.

But with the appearance of Xiao Yu, the noisy crowd could already hear it. Even if he lowered his voice, the people around him who raised their ears and paid attention could still hear clearly. When they heard the words, they wanted to hear it with both ears. He stood on the same side to hear Xiao Yu's answer.

Xiao Yu's face was gone from his usual nonchalant look, his expression was quite dignified, but he gave a forced smile, as if trying to cover up something, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Jing Yu is fine, there's nothing wrong, Don’t worry about it.”

His voice was not deliberately lowered, but it was not high enough, so the people standing around him could hear it.

Yes, enough!

As he spoke, Xiao Yu pulled Dong Ce away to the side of the tree. He turned around and signaled to the chief chamberlain, who immediately shouted at his throat: "Your Majesty has ordered that all of you, sir, and their families should go back to the banquet hall and wait. "

With that said, the chamberlain took a breath and said again: "Everyone, please disperse, don't stay here anymore."

Since it was His Majesty's command, who dared not to listen? Immediately a group of people went out in twos and threes.

Xiao Yu's words spread among the crowd.

Apart from anything else, just by calling Xiao Jingyu's name, everyone's speculations had a theme.

If it hadn't been for the princess' accident, how could the calm and dignified empress have uttered such an angry roar, and how could the two highest-ranking imperial doctors in the imperial hospital have such expressions on their faces as if they had been brought back to life when they came out of Chenxiang Pavilion.

This clearly means that something happened to the princess.

But what happened?

It was just a man, even though he was frightened and confused, he would not discuss it in public, but some of the female guests who couldn't hold themselves back started whispering among themselves.

Everyone gradually left, and no one noticed that Dong Ce and Xiao Yu were standing side by side next to the ancient tree in the Chenxiang Pavilion courtyard, but they did not go out together. Not far away from them, the Ninth Prince Xiao Ke was walking slowly as everyone left. , unknowingly, reached the end of the queue.

Seeing everyone leaving the door of Chenxiang Pavilion, Xiao Ke suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Xiao Yu, and walked over.

"Brother Four Emperors, I also want to stay." Xiao Ke looked up at Xiao Yu, his eyes shining with prayer.

Xiao Ke has always been taciturn, and rarely interacts with others. His existence is just like a lonely soul floating in the forbidden courtyard of the palace. It is not real at all, and it is so dispensable that people cannot remember it at all. There is such a prince.

If Gu Yuqing hadn't been kidnapped by Xiao Jingyu last time and Xiao Ke's behavior was extremely unusual, Xiao Yu wouldn't have paid more attention to him.

Looking at Xiao Ke's eyebrows and eyes at this moment, Xiao Yu's heart trembled suddenly.

These eyes look exactly like Gu Yuqing's, with clear black and white peach eyes that people never tire of looking at.
