Rebirth: Splendid Wedding

Chapter 123 Confrontation in front of the palace and request for marriage (1)
Golden Palace

Few people knew about what happened in Huaqing Palace last night, but for some reason, when they were waiting outside the palace to go to court, all the officials were discussing it one after another.

A certain minister shook his head and said: "I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to the prince who has always been strict and self-disciplined. Do you think Dong Sanqian is ignorant or the prince is too romantic?"

"No matter what, she is an innocent girl. Now that the government and the public know about it, I'm afraid I won't dare to marry Dong Sanqian in the future." A certain minister sighed.

"I heard that the prince was framed by others, not because of mutual affection with Dong Sanqian..."

……

When it was time to go to court, all the ministers filed into the palace and asked the emperor to explain what happened in Huaqing Palace last night.

Hearing the complaints from all the officials, Emperor Wu Cheng frowned. He obviously didn't expect that this matter would be leaked out. At that time, he had hinted that he was not allowed to disclose this matter. It seems that some people did not obey him. The command.Originally, he planned to settle the matter privately, after all, it was a matter of the crown prince's reputation, which cannot be lost, but now that the matter has progressed to this point, the only thing to do is to deal with it officially.

At this moment, the people who were in the Huaqing Palace last night were standing in the palace. After listening to their confessions, all the people associated with them were called into the palace to be holy.

Emperor Wu Cheng patted the armrest of the chair and said angrily: "Tuoba Lin, you are a prince, and you are wearing a shrine, and you are doing things with the daughter of a foreign minister privately in the palace. You are so rash! But you said that you were a Framed, what happened?"

Hearing this, the officials from the early court on both sides started whispering.Concubine Yan, who was standing in the hall, looked at Dong Ruohan, saw her lowering her head, and couldn't help but think of the situation before entering the hall.

At that time, when she got off the carriage, she saw Dong Ruohan standing outside the hall, a short distance away from the officials who went to court, but she was not as enthusiastic as before when she saw her, let alone came up to chat with her.So she pretended that she didn't know what to go up to say hello, but she didn't dare to meet her eyes, flickering between words, more sure of last night's speculation.

The speculation about asking the prince to meet at Huaqing Palace in her name is useless, but what will she say in front of the emperor?The eunuch and maid were both dead, she believed that Dong Ruojie must have thought of a countermeasure.And when the emperor summoned her to the palace, he immediately guessed that she had been involved.

Tuoba Lin said: "Your Majesty, I received a letter from Princess Leping and asked to meet in Huaqing Palace, because this is a private meeting and it is in Huaqing Palace. I am worried that the princess will be found out if she doesn't know the palace rules. She broke into Huaqing Palace privately, so I had no choice but to go and bring her out, and the letter was destroyed immediately, and the eighth brother was present, so he can testify for the minister."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eighth prince Tuobazhen stood up and said, "I can testify that His Royal Highness did receive a letter from Princess Leping at that time, and my minister also joked that the princess might have taken a fancy to the prince and wanted to give him an answer in private. .”

Emperor Wu Cheng frowned, looked at Concubine Yan, and said in a deep voice: "Le Ping, is there such a thing?"

After hearing the eighth prince's last explanation, Concubine Yan realized a little bit that they wanted to push her to the top of the waves, so she stepped forward and said calmly: "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no such thing. Le Ping only entered the palace for two days. Next time, how do you know that there is a palace called Huaqing Palace? Just like what the eighth prince said, when he was in Baihuayuan, the prince laughed and asked if he could give him a hint. If Le Ping wanted to give him the answer, why bother to write? What's so unnecessary?"

"I remember the last time the emperor invited the princess into the palace, the servant took the princess for a walk around the palace, and I remember walking through the Huaqing Palace at that time."

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, and the person who spoke was the eunuch standing aside, his name was Zhao Yu, and he was in charge of the chief and deputy chief of the inner court with Wang Zhe.He is not an ordinary eunuch, he used to be a celebrity in front of the emperor, but after the prince became an adult, he was sent by the emperor to the prince's mansion to assist the prince in supervising affairs, and at the same time, he was allowed to enter and leave the palace, and deal with the internal affairs of the palace, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to him, but He is the prince's man.
