Chapter 38 The Son of Heaven
First of all, a pair of young girls came in, fifteen or sixteen years old, with dignified manners and beauty. Wei Fuyan naturally recognized the maidservant of Huaiwang Mansion and the sisters of the Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox. It turned out that the Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox were withdrawn in advance for the current move of chess.
"Hang to live the emperor! See the thousand years old of King Tuo!"
King Tuo said indifferently, "Who is kneeling under the hall?"
"I will return to King Tuo, the spring equinox of slaves and maidservants." The autumn equinox."
King Tuo sat down and asked, "Can you recognize this woman in white?"
The Spring Equinox and the Autumn Equinox lowered their heads and answered in unison: "I returned to King Tuo, I recognized that this is Princess Huai. He is the master of the vernal equinox and autumn equinox.
"Since you are the master, why don't you be polite?"
Wei Fuyan sneered and kowtowed slowly at the vernal equinox and said, "Your Majesty, Tuo Wang Mingjian, the Spring Equinox was originally a domestic slave in the Huaiwang Mansion. Although he did not dare to flaunt his loyalty and righteousness, he would never dare to have a second-hearted view of Huaiwang Mansion. The reason why she doesn't salute this person is that although this person has the name of Princess Huai, she is not Princess Huai at all. She can't stand the big gift of the servant of the royal palace!"
As soon as the words of the Spring Equinox came out, a small ** suddenly appeared in the imperial study. Emperor Changxi closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep, and the whispers of the ministers seemed very presumptuous.
"...no wonder Wang..."
"King Tuo is really..."
"...It's a pity, it's a pity!"
All kinds of gossip squeezed into Wei Fuyan's ears. Wei Fuyan secretly laughed and knelt on his back straight, and looked at Emperor Changxi with a pair of eyes fixedly, looking no confusion at him at all.
"In the spring equinox and autumn equinox, you can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense. Why do you say that this person is not the real Princess Huai?
The Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox looked at each other and only listened to the Spring Equinox and said again: "Go back to King Tuo's words, before Princess Duanyang married Li, the maidservants had already seen the portrait of Princess Duanyang. The real Princess Duanyang's face was extremely beautiful and looked... Forgive the maidservant, she looked a little domineering. Although the maidservant has never been in contact with Princess Duanyang, she remembers many interesting things about the princess. I heard that Princess Duanyang entered the bandit's den with the king of pepper map of Chen in her teens. She was also a heroic woman. It was also rumored that Princess Duanyang was deeply in love with Lord Fan, the servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies of Chen. I heard that she would marry Li far away and even threatened her with hunger strike... The signs of the real princess are not similar to the girl in front of her!"
Wei Fuyan's eyebrows twitched, which made her unable to help laughing. These reasons that Zhou Huaiyi questioned as early as Yanjing are still used now, and they have been used all the way to the imperial study in front of the emperor.
The comments of the ministers are even more strange. Half of what the vernal equinox said is true. In the past, Wei Fuyan was indeed so arrogant and heroic, and even said that he was affectionate with Fan Fangtong and threatened hunger strike before marriage. The minister's comments pointed to Wei Fuyan one after another, and it seemed that these words were enough to determine that Wei Fuyan was indeed a fake princess.
King Tuo looked at the scene in the imperial study with satisfaction and said in a faint voice, "These are just guesses."
The imperial study immediately calmed down, and the courtiers were waiting for King Tuo's next article - King Tuo brought people here, which naturally did not let them talk about their own guesses.
This time, I finally changed the autumn equinox, and the autumn equinox said, "If there is no evidence, I dare not talk nonsense!"
"Then present the evidence."
The Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox turned red together, and their eyes dodged and closed their mouths, which was simply hanging the appetite of the courtiers. Wei Fuyan only stared at Emperor Changxi, who seemed to fall asleep peacefully, and ignored King Tuo and others at all - she knew very well that no matter how wonderful the story was, no matter how strong the evidence was, she could not beat the words of this emperor with the final ruling power.
King Tuo thought about human evidence and material evidence, and Wei Fuyan thought about Emperor Changxi. She did not believe that King Tuo could win, let alone lose here.
"Since there is evidence, why don't you submit it? Or did the two of you slander Princess Huai? King Tuo was angry.
The Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox couldn't help kowtow, and only heard the Spring Equinox half of which said in panic: "I dare not! It's just...just..."
"Just what?"
The attention of the courtiers was almost all focused on the embarrassing spring equinox. Wei Fuyan vaguely guessed what was difficult about the spring equinox, and his smile was even colder.
"It's just this evidence on the back of this fake princess!" The autumn equinox suddenly robbed, "The real Duanyang princess is Jinzhi Yuye's skin, but this fake princess's back is covered with scars!"
"If she is a real princess, how can she remove the scars on her body one by one before she gets married to show respect for her husband's family, but this fake princess may have been in a hurry. There are so many scars on her back, which is simply shocking!" The vernal equinox also eagerly added, "Please forgive the crime. The evidence of the two slaves and maidservants is this fake princess herself!" From her appearance to temperament to this scar, it is enough to prove that she is not a real princess!"
The imperial study was silent. After a moment of silence, the sound of discussion and discussion exploded again. Wei Fuyan's eyes finally moved slightly from Emperor Changxi and fell on the smiling King Tuo. His eyes were facing each other. King Tuo seemed to snorted coldly. After a moment, he interrupted the courtiers' discussion and asked Wei Fuyan, "Come on, for Princess Huai. Body."
Immediately, the eunuch and the palace maid hurried forward. Wei Fuyan glanced over and smiled indifferently, "No, as the spring equinox said, my concubine's back is full of scars."
The courtiers' comments were louder, and Wei Fuyan was keenly aware that Emperor Changxi's hand supporting his forehead trembled slightly.
"Your Highness Tuo Wang, my concubine has something to say. I don't know whether to say it or not."
King Tuo looked at Wei Fuyan for a long time and finally said, "Princess Huai, please tell me."
Wei Fuyan's voice suddenly raised and began to fight back: "I just heard the dialogue between King Tuo and the Spring Equinox, but at the same time, those words were all doubtful!"
King Tuo's eyes were half-dark in an instant, and Wei Fuyan immediately continued to say, "At first, the relationship between Tuowang Mansion and my Huaiwang Mansion is very shallow. The maidservant in Huaiwang Mansion noticed that there was a difference in the identity of her master, so she went to King Tuo without reporting to Wang? Second, the two maidservants have moved into the palace of King Huai of Yanjing since three and a half years ago. At that time, they were only eleven or twelve years old and had no chance to leave the house alone. How did they know the old story of Princess Duanyang? Whether it is Luodu or Yanjing, King Huai has issued a death order not to discuss Princess Duanyang! Three years later, my concubine has been in Luodu for three years and has never let me take a bath and change clothes at the autumn equinox. How did they know that I have scars on my back? It must be said that it was heard from people. Only Qiyun knew about this in Huaiwang's mansion, and Qiyun could not say a word from such a maidservant who was far from such a status!"
The courtiers were talking about themselves, and Wei Fuyan said in pain at the spring equinox: "You two, as servants of Huai's mansion, actually escaped from the mansion while King Huai's expedition from his home and framed the princess with King Tuo, and did not hesitate to reverse the wrong in an attempt to fool the emperor's disaster and chaos of the dynasty! What a bold man!"
The vernal equinox and autumn equinox suddenly looked like dead ashes.
Emperor Changxi's hand moved imperceptiblely again. Wei Fuyan was sure that Emperor Changxi still had ten points of confidence in his heart. At that moment, he said to King Tuo, "Your Highness, if there is any other human evidence, please take it out together! I want to see how to go on an expedition with the king, and the identity of the princess of the concubine is not that identity! Is it a fake identity of a concubine, or is it someone who is trying to suppress our Huaiwang Mansion when the king of Huai is on an expedition!"
The imperial study was immediately quiet for a moment, and King Tuo's face became more and more gloomy.
"Biography, witness!"
It was another witness. Wei Fuyan sneered at the corners of his mouth and looked at Emperor Changxi, who seemed to be sleeping in front of him.
"Too Long live my emperor! See the thousand years old of King Tuo!"
Wei Fuyan's back was cold, and his cold sweat suddenly covered his back.
"Who is your Highness kneeling on?"
"The maidservant of Chen Guogong, Shen Qinghe."
