My husband is a traitor

Chapter 295 Testimony

Daoist Changqing—that is, An Qi, first bowed his hands to the emperor in a natural posture, without bowing down.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

However, the emperor treated him with exceptional friendliness and respect, and hurriedly told the chief supervisor, "Don't be rude, give me a seat!"

Just now when Rong Jue came in, he didn't get this kind of treatment, but as soon as An Qi came in, the emperor treated him like a guest.

An Qi glanced at his master from the corner of his eyes, swept the whisk in an imperceptible way, and touched the bridge of his nose.

Well, master, it's not that the subordinates don't obey the rules, the emperor's order is hard to break, the emperor's order is hard to break.

With a gentle smile on his face, coupled with this long robe, he looked like a young, worldly expert, causing the queen and the others to frown slightly.

When did His Majesty invite such a young priest?

"Master Dao, just now I heard from the servant that you want to come for a personal certificate?" The emperor ordered someone to show An Qi some tea, while leaning slightly towards the side where Chang Qing was sitting, getting closer to the empress.

Chu Lian'er could only see the emperor's back, but couldn't see his expression at this time, but it didn't prevent her from hearing the importance he attached to the priest from the emperor's voice.

An Qi nodded, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, as if seeing through the world of mortals.

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right."

The emperor didn't know whether to be happy or nervous, but he still asked, "The Taoist priest went to the lake today? Can you see clearly?"

An Qi put the whisk in order, and sighed slightly, "Pin Dao was planning to walk around to enlighten the Taoism, but somehow he came to the small lake behind the imperial garden. After walking over, he heard a scream... Wei Tan Taking a closer look, I saw a woman stabbing another woman's neck with a hairpin in her hand...then pushed her into the lake."

He intentionally couldn't tell whether he was sorry or shook his head with a sigh, paused, and lifted everyone's hearts, then sighed slowly and continued, "Poverty waits for the murderer to go away, and wants to save people." By then, it was too late.”

"Don't you think the Taoist's words are ridiculous?" Ouyang Lie suddenly laughed, "Since you saw someone committing a murder, why didn't you call out first to attract people to rescue? Or, the murderer left, and you saw your sister buried in the lake, Why didn't you call someone to come and salvage it, but came to testify at this hour instead?"

Ouyang Lie's words caused a pause in the hall, and a gleam of joy crossed Chu Lian'er's face.

She was about to speak, but seeing the emperor's expression was uneasy, she didn't dare to embarrass herself, so she closed her mouth.

But An Qi asked Ouyang Lie with a puzzled face, "Who is this?"

Ouyang Lie choked, "Xiao Wang is the prince of the southern kingdom and the elder brother of the deceased Ouyang Wu."

"Oh, the prince doesn't know something. People who practice Taoism can't get involved in worldly grievances—and besides, if I shout out, wouldn't I expose my identity as a poor Taoist?" Chang Qing raised his palm slightly, his eyebrows and eyes calm and calm.

But he looked at the emperor.

The emperor's heart skipped a beat, when he ordered Rong Jue to secretly search for a master of Taoism, he didn't want this matter to be publicized, if it was publicized, it would be detrimental to his image and not beneficial to his pursuit of immortality.

This is also the reason why Daoist Changqing never participated in any grand ceremony or banquet after entering the palace.On the one hand, it was his own unwillingness, and on the other hand, it was the emperor's consideration.

Therefore, the emperor did not have the slightest suspicion, "The Taoist priest is an expert outside the world, he is not wrong. Please don't interrupt the prince, listen to what the Taoist priest has to say. Taoist priest, you said you witnessed the whole process of the murder, then Have you seen the face of the murderer?"

"Yes." An Qi suddenly nodded seriously, and then looked up, "Although the poor man doesn't know this noble person, but—coincidentally, she is also in the hall at this time."

wow——

As soon as these words came out, both the queen and Chu Lian'er were shocked, but the former looked at Chu Lian'er subconsciously, while the latter was so shocked that the cup in his hand almost knocked over.

Because she is too aware of the other party's intentions now—

She couldn't help but looked at Rong Jue, almost confirming her inner guess without thinking.

That is, Rong Jue wanted to harm her!

Unexpectedly, Rong Jue had such a trick!Too cruel!
The emperor glanced at the women on his left and right sides, pressed his eyebrows fiercely, and couldn't help but darken his face. He was still polite to Changqing but asked hesitantly, "Daoist, can you... see clearly?"

An Qi got up and pointed slightly at Chu Lian'er on the left hand side of the emperor, "Poverty eyesight is still very good. It is the empress next to His Majesty. When the princess was not paying attention to turning her head back, she pulled out the other party's hairpin and killed After killing the opponent, push him into the lake."

"You're talking nonsense, don't you want to spit blood!" Chu Lian'er stood up on her stomach, couldn't sit still, pointed at Changqing and retorted loudly, and then looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, you want to make decisions for my concubines!" , Concubine, concubine was wronged!"

The emperor's face was ugly. He looked at Chu Lian'er who was kneeling beside his legs with a grievance face, and then looked down at his hands. His face remained unchanged, and An Qi with a righteous face and standing in the palace had nothing to do with him. Rong Jue, who had a cold face, suddenly became dizzy.

I just feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, and depression in my heart.

"It's because they colluded. The concubine didn't kill anyone... How can a concubine, a weak woman who is pregnant with Liujia, kill someone... Your Majesty is very careful. The princess has found the token of the prime minister. How can I plant it on the concubine?" ..." Chu Lian'er cried, seeing that the emperor didn't speak, she suddenly pointed at Rong Jue excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, it's not like you don't know that the princess likes the prime minister, and she must have some ulterior relationship with the prime minister!"

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

The emperor's face turned red and purple, which was very ugly, and he patted the table heavily.

"what happened!"

Rong Jue was the one who testified with the token, but Daoist Changqing clearly identified Concubine Lian.The emperor suddenly felt that the palms of his hands and the backs of his hands were full of flesh, and at the same time he was reluctant to move both of them, but at the same time he hoped that things would settle quickly.

Rong Jue opened his mouth quietly, and took out a golden token from his sleeve, "I have to say that the token has been lost for more than two months. I have reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs before, and then created a A new one. In fact, His Majesty took a closer look at the memorial. I mentioned this matter in a memorial before, but I was worried that the loss of the token would cause criticism.

Unexpectedly, it still caused disaster.As for what the noble concubine said, the princess asked for marriage in public that day, but all the ministers refused, how could the noble concubine say the words of the Arabian Nights that I have something to do with the princess? "

Rong Jue, who seldom spoke such a long paragraph, once opened his mouth, Chu Lian'er was caught off guard by the stone hammer.

what?
new token?
She raised her eyes in disbelief and looked at the golden token in Rong Jue's hand, a deep astonishment flashed in her eyes for a moment.

The emperor froze slightly, memorial?It is no longer a day or two for him not to ask about the government. He silently stared at the chief supervisor on the side. The latter seemed to remember this and patted his head——

"Oh, look at this servant's memory, there is such a thing! Your Majesty...was too tired at the time, so he put it down after a brief glance. Before he was placed, he told the servant that the prime minister actually likes vulgar things like gold tokens... ..."
