The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 127

Will Song Chen reverse the case for the Yue family?

Would he be willing to overthrow the fame left by his father to the world for the sake of a dead person?
Not only relatives outside the palace are worried about this matter, Chu Xue in the palace is also not sure.

Ever since she got the news that her relatives wanted to sue the imperial court to reverse the case for her father, she has been worrying about this issue for several days.

Father, Uncle Qin Mu and the others have always been very measured in their actions. She knew that they had prepared for so many years, so they must have made complete preparations. Now the only hurdle they are most uncertain about is this one. Would he like it? Willing to reverse the case?
Because of this incident, Qiu Yan came to Yufu Palace more frequently in the past few days, but it was also because of the envoys' visits, and the palace had to prepare several dinner parties.

The relatives outside the palace have already planned to bring up this matter at the banquet for Chi Yu and his party tomorrow, and ask the emperor to reverse the case.This is to consider that only the foreign envoys from Guyu's side will visit when the important officials in the DPRK and China are removed, so that Chi Yu can tell the truth on the spot and prove it from the side without letting too many foreigners know. It saved enough face for the first emperor, so that Song Chen's anger could be minimized.

Qiu Yan came this time to tell her about it so that she wouldn't be too surprised at the banquet tomorrow night.

After listening, Chu Xue was silent for a while, then raised her head and asked, "Uncle, can you succeed this time?"

Qiu Yan said in relief: "Don't worry, ma'am, the witnesses outside the palace have been found, and Zhao Chu is also under our control. As long as the emperor is willing to investigate, this time we will definitely be able to reverse the case for the general."

"I mean, is the emperor willing to investigate?" she asked softly.

Qiu Yan was startled, then fell silent for a while, and said with a deep breath: "The emperor has always been a wise king, I believe he will not let his loyalty be wronged."

Chu Xue knew that Uncle Xiaocheng was not sure either.That's right, not to mention others, even she, Song Chen's bedside person, is not sure, how can others give her a definite answer?

She thought about it for a while, and finally said the thought that had been lingering in her heart for several days, "If I come to sue the imperial court and appeal for my father's grievance, the emperor should make up his mind, right?"

Qiu Yan was startled, "What are you talking about? Grand Master Chu will support you for the important events of the previous court. Besides, Grand Master Chu is the general's brother-in-law, and you are only Mrs. Yue's niece. Naturally, he is more suitable than you."

Qiu Yan was afraid of her thoughts, and reminded, "You are the empress who has been published in the patriarchal book and announced to the world. You are the daughter of the Chu family. If you come to sue, aren't you afraid that the emperor will be angry?"

But she finally said it out, "What if I'm not Chu Xue, but I'm Yue Wen?"

"Mother!" Qiu Yan said urgently, looking at her in disbelief.

She had already started to cry, and said slowly: "I often think, should I confess to the emperor, in the past there were villains pressing on my head, and the time has not come yet, but now... If he really loves me, he will be willing to do it for me. Shall I take revenge?"

Qiu Yan frowned, and said distressedly: "But... a companion is like a tiger, can you guarantee that he will not get angry, snub you, or even hurt you when he knows you have lied to him for so long?"

She frowned.Of course she thought about such a result.Comparing my heart to my heart, if it was her, knowing that a man had lied to her for so long with a false identity, she should also find it difficult to accept it!
But only she is the orphan of the Yue family, and she is the flesh and blood of father Yue Lan. Isn't it more appropriate for her to sue for father's grievances?

Besides, if he loves himself enough and knows what happened to him, he should be willing to re-investigate the Yue family's case for himself.

Should I take a gamble?
Qiu Yan looked at Chu Xue who was frowning and thinking, and felt heartache. When she said the thought, although Qiu Yan immediately denied it, he thought about it quietly in his heart.

That's right, Wenwen's thinking is right, she is the general's orphan and the biggest victim of this case, if Song Chen loves her enough, he will be moved and should reverse the case for her.But what about the consequences that follow?
First of all, if she admits that she is Yue Wen, then her current identity is false. The matter of Chu Lin and his wife replacing Li with peaches must have surfaced. It is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!Also, she later married into Prince Heng's Mansion, and took the position of queen step by step. She has always been Chu Xue's identity. If she suddenly denied this identity, what would it mean?
It means that even if Song Chen overturns the case for the Yue family, it is impossible for her to be Chu Xue again, and everything she owns may be lost.

When Qiu Yan explained all these consequences very carefully, Chu Xue said: "If the emperor is willing to reverse the case for my father, everyone in the world will know the innocence of my Yue family. The girl who lost her family and tried to escape. As a relative, it is natural for the Chu family to protect her. If the emperor is willing to reverse the case, he will probably not pursue the past affairs of the Chu family. After all, his father and elder brother are the pillars of the court. Cherish your talent, and you won't blame them for these helpless things."

"As for my identity..."

She lowered her head and remained silent for a while, as if she had made a lot of determination, before she said: "As long as I can reverse the case for my father and avenge them, I don't need this. The children have his blood on them. I believe he will not hurt them." , he is a good father, didn't he never neglect even Xu's children?"

"What about you?" Qiu Yan asked with a frown.

Turning her back, a line of tears fell quietly, but she said firmly: "If he is really angry with me, he doesn't want me, and I don't complain. After all, I lied to him in the first place. To be able to meet him, he treated me so well. These few days Years are never in vain..."

"Your Majesty..." Qiu Yan interrupted her heartbrokenly, "You are the only blood of the General, so please don't let anything happen to you!"

"I have already sacrificed a child, and revenge is imminent, but I shrink back because of my gains and losses. In the future, how can I be worthy of that child, as well as my parents and elder brother?"

Qiu Yan was stunned, speechless for a while.

With a long sigh, when she suddenly turned around again, there was already a smiling face, she comforted Qiu Yan, "What's more, what if we win the bet? Not only can daddy reverse the case and bring the wicked to justice, maybe he doesn't care about these things, and he will Just like before!"

But Qiu Yan sighed in his heart, after knowing that he had been cheated for so long, would anyone still have no grudges?Qiu Yan wasn't sure, but why didn't Chu Xue know?I just made up my mind in my heart, this time, I must do my best to avenge my parents and family.

After a while, Qiu Yan persuaded: "Your Majesty has such filial piety, the general's wife's spirit in heaven has been comforted, but the matter has not yet been settled, and there is still room for everything. You must not report that kind of thought."

Chu Xue nodded. Uncle Xiaocheng and relatives outside the palace are sincerely looking out for her, and she shouldn't worry them if she wants to break the boat.

On the evening of the second day, the Qingde Hall welcomed the guests who attended the banquet—the ministers of Daqi and Prince Guyu Chiyu and his party.

Chi Yu is the most honorable person among the envoys who came to Beijing to worship this time. Gu Yu showed his sincerity, and Song Chen, the master, was also willing to show his kindness, so he specially held a separate banquet for Chi Yu before the Qiuxi banquet. Although the scale of this banquet was not as big as Qiuxi, it was very sincere. Chi Yu brought Yu Duo and several envoys to attend, a total of more than ten people attended, and Daqi also had twenty or thirty courtiers present, all from various divisions and ministries The top leader is really an important minister.

This is the perfect time.

In the middle of the unitary hour, all the guests arrived, the emperor and empress came, and the dinner officially began.

After taking her seat, Chu Xue glanced in the direction of her father, Qin Mu and others. Both Chu Lin and Qin Mu gave her firm eyes. She nodded slightly and waited quietly.

Song Chen chatted with Chi Yu from time to time, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.However, seeing that he is in a better mood at this time, Chu Xue is more worried about the upcoming changes. Will he be angry when his relatives want to reveal the past with their own hands and deny his father?
Recently, Li Jiaoyun is not in good health, so she was unable to come tonight. The two sisters are the only ones left in the harem, so Song Chen only has Chu Xue as a female relative, but she alone is enough. Sitting in the main seat, like a pearl, shining brightly.

The male guests knew Daqi's rules, even if they were amazed, they didn't dare to look too much, but Yuduo, who entered the palace for the first time, saw that the queen was such a beauty, she was inevitably curious, and always cast her eyes at her. He smiled kindly, dignified and generous without losing his affinity.

Seeing that the banquet had been going on for nearly half an hour, the guests of honor were all smiling. Chi Yu fought for Qin Mu. During the chat, he talked with Song Chen about the common enemy Xiong Rong, and mentioned Qin Yuan's rescue of them back then, and said with emotion "Since I was rescued at that time, I have not yet thanked His Majesty in person. Thanks to General Qin Yuan and An Xihou, they not only saved us, but also delivered us safely to Sulong. This kindness is beyond words. Your country has such a The brave generals of the gods are really enviable!"

Chi Yuhan spoke well, and now he can use a few idioms, Song Chen smiled, and said slowly: "Your envoy is right, I have the Qin family army in Daqi, and it is expected that the Xiongrong will have to calm down for a while. "

Chi Yu echoed: "I am ashamed to say it. I think I have lived in the Western Regions for a long time, but I have no brave generals who can resist the Xiongrong. I am far inferior to your country. There are many heroes. I think back many years ago when I was still trapped by the Xiongrong, I heard that There is a "God of War" general in your country, who is not only loved by the people of your country, but also frightened by the Huns..."

"His Royal Highness misunderstood."

Suddenly there was a voice interrupting Chi Yu's words, Chi Yu turned his head to look for it, and saw a middle-aged man in dark Chinese clothes, the man's temples were slightly frosted, his figure was tall and straight, he looked like a general, but compared The friendly Qin Mu, however, exuded a hostility all over his body, which made people faintly fear.

This is exactly Xu Jilin who was relegated to the position of Marquis.

Xu Jilin was extremely displeased.This unrepentant Prince Guyu dared to mention his mortal enemy Yue Lan at such a banquet, and even praised him like this, relying on the thin face Song Chen gave him today, he can no longer be silent!
He bowed his hands to Chi Yu, as an apology for interrupting him, and then said: "The person His Highness just mentioned is already a criminal subject of Daqi through the ages. He secretly communicated with foreign enemies and planned to rebel. This case was decided by the late Emperor himself, so it is not appropriate for you to mention him on such an occasion."

The accompanying courtiers all knew about this case, and it was expected that Chi Yu was a foreigner, so it was not surprising that they didn't know about it.But Xu Jilin's words just now had a strong tone, which made the always peaceful banquet a little awkward.

Chu Xue, who was beside the emperor, stiffened slightly.

Hearing this villain's slander against her father with her own ears at this moment, she wished she could kill him immediately and burn his bones to ashes.After holding back secretly for a while, she looked away a little, and met her father Chu Lin's eyes. His father looked at her first, and then lowered his eyes. She knew that this was asking her to endure, and she understood it. She worked hard slowly, and finally temporarily Suppressed the anger.

Chi Yu was startled, and soon realized Xu Jilin's identity, so he stopped arguing with him, and leaned over to Song Chen with a solid courtesy, and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I was trapped in prison more than ten years ago." Yu Xiongrong's capital is not clear about your country's internal affairs, so he made a slip of the tongue for a while."

For some reason, Xu Shi noticed her own stiffness, and Chu Xue felt that Song Chen seemed to look at her first, and then replied Chi Yu: "Those who don't know are innocent, and your envoy doesn't need to care about it." He raised his wine glass, Indicates late drinking.

Chi Yu nodded with a smile, picked up the wine glass, and drank it down. When he put down the wine glass, Chi Yu looked at Qin Mu. His mission was temporarily over, and now it was time for them to gather their own people.

The time has come, Qin Mu sighed, then got up and went to the hall, knelt down, bowed to the king, and then said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Just now, His Royal Highness mentioned the minister's brother-in-law, which made the minister unbearable. , I have a case of injustice through the ages, I beg Your Majesty to make the decision."

The banquet room where the wine was mixed with each other became quiet in an instant, regardless of the host and guest, everyone stopped their hands and mouths, and all looked at Qin Mu who was prostrating on the ground to appeal for grievances.

Chu Xue's heart also rose to her throat.

It finally started.
