Xiao Ling lowered her head and blushed." Sister, don't tease me."”Tuoba Feng giggled. Xiao Ling covered her burning cheeks and raised her eyebrows unconsciously. She looked at the young man who was as cold as the moonlight in the corner.
Suddenly, a young eunuch came in from the door, as if he had something urgent to tell the Emperor. When he passed by Tuoba Feng, he even shot a mysterious glance at him. Xiao Ling's heart tightened. Could it be that this Liu Yun was really going to expose Tuoba Feng in front of everyone? Just as Xiao Ling thought about it, he laughed coldly. She was really overestimating herself. She did not know who would end up in a bad situation.
The young eunuch quickly walked over and whispered something into the Emperor's ear. The Emperor frowned and then nodded. The young eunuch bowed and left. The group of singers and musicians in the hall followed him. The atmosphere became serious and a little scary.
A burst of cold air assaulted him, and Xiao Ling could not help but shiver. His entire person also sobered up a lot. Not long after, the young eunuch who had just left returned. The one who returned with him was Liu Yun's maidservant, Qing 'er. Xiao Ling and Tuoba Feng looked at each other, and their comforting gazes fell into each other's eyes.
Tuoba Feng didn't care as he watched the Qing 'er carefully follow behind the young eunuch. She then bowed to the Emperor and slowly stood up. Xiao Ling looked at Liu Yun. Her face was rosy, and Lu Chu and Shen Bi were sitting beside her. The three of them looked at Qing 'er with schadenfreude, as if they had a plan in mind.
"You said that you have something to report to me?" The Green Girl replied with a crisp voice. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at the owner of the voice. "Then say it quickly, or else it will delay zhen's tea.”The Emperor waved his sleeve and put down the food in his hand. He used the yellow handkerchief in front of him to wipe the oil on his hands.
"Yes, sir!" The Green Girl responded and continued to speak. "Just now, this servant and my young lady were brought to the tent by the lord. My young lady picked up Miss Xiao's handkerchief and said that she wanted to go but she didn't allow me to follow, so I listened. After this servant left the tent to look for the young lady, I happened to be behind a tent…"
Qing 'er paused, and the Emperor also frowned. Xiao Ling's palms were covered in sweat. This Liu Yun really didn't keep her word. It hadn't even been an hour, and she had already forgotten her life-saving grace. She had forgotten that she had promised her not to mention it, and had brought this matter to the Emperor.
Tuoba Feng also knew what Qing 'er wanted to report. She also knew how serious this matter was. However, she still sat upright and upright, as if it had nothing to do with her. Liu Yun looked at Tuoba Feng's expressionless face and was a little worried. Damn it, she couldn't have held back, right?
However, the sadness on Liu Yun's face was fleeting. He immediately waited with Lu Chu and Shen Bi to watch the show. "This servant first heard the laughter of a young lady. This servant was curious and walked over step by step. Who would have thought that I would discover a shocking scene behind the tent? That Miss An and Miss Tuoba…they were naked and fooling around.”
Qing Er's voice became much weaker as she spoke. She was clearly embarrassed. The girls present also used their sleeves to cover their blushing cheeks. The Emperor felt even more embarrassed. How could the daughter of General Tuoba and His Royal Highness do such a immoral thing?
"Did you see it clearly?" When the Emperor asked this question, he was also a little embarrassed. Tuoba Feng received some doubtful gazes, but she still looked indifferent. Xiao Ling broke out in a cold sweat. She really didn't know how Tuoba Feng managed to be so calm and composed.
Tuoba Feng's hand gently rested on Xiao Ling's hand. The warmth of her palm was transmitted over. For some reason, Xiao Ling suddenly felt much more at ease. He looked at An Ming again. She also had the same nonchalant expression. Perhaps it was because she was notorious and everyone knew that she was good at sharpening mirrors, so it was not surprising.
Wouldn't that drag Tuoba Feng down for nothing? Xiao Ling thought to herself that this was the pit she dug herself. This pit was big enough. She must bury a few people in order to dispel the hatred in her heart.
"Your Majesty, this servant saw them clearly. They were Miss Tuoba and Miss An. They were also Miss Lu's maidservant Tao 'er and Miss Shen's maidservant Wan' er.”Lu Chuhe had a smile on his face. Shen Bi only glanced at Lu Chu lightly. Their eyes met, and they looked at Tuoba Feng together. Tuoba Feng glared back fiercely, and they were caught off guard.
The two of them nodded. The servant girl behind them slowly walked to Qing 'er's side and bowed to the Emperor to confirm Qing' er's reply. "Replying to the emperor, Qing Er's words are true. The three of us saw it together.”The Emperor nodded worriedly. After all, she was the daughter of an important minister, so he could still weigh the weight of the matter in his heart.
"Tuoba Feng, An Ming!" The Emperor called out their names in a very serious tone. An Ming, who was still smiling a moment ago, immediately became serious. She stood up with Tuoba Feng and knelt down in front of the Emperor. The Imperial Concubine's face was the most unsightly. That was her favorite rose garden. How could it be tainted by such a dirty thing?
"Do you have any excuses for this matter?”The Emperor's gaze swept across the two people kneeling in front of the hall. He clearly knew that these kneeling were not two women, but one-third of her country.
"Emperor, don't listen to these two sluts 'nonsense. Sister Tuoba and I are innocent.”An Ming was the first to speak. He wasn't afraid of what would happen to him, but he was afraid that he would implicate Tuoba Feng. If that happened, he would be guilty. An Ming glared fiercely at Qing 'er, who was hiding behind Liu Yun. She looked so scary that she wanted to swallow her whole.
Qing 'Er couldn't help but take two steps back. She felt much better after being supported by Wan' Er behind her. She couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Liu Yun turned around, and his peach blossom eyes gently swept over Qing 'er's pale face. He scolded," Useless thing."”Qing 'er lowered her head even more. An Ming no longer made things difficult for Qing' er. She turned around and looked at the emperor's face that was purple with anger without any fear.
Xiao Ling was surprised. Who was this An Ming? Why was she not afraid of the Emperor? She was so casual in this solemn palace as if she was in her own home. She was so worried about Tuoba Feng's safety that she did not notice Han Xueling's lecherous gaze on her.
He carefully sized up Xiao Ling's exquisite face. She was dressed in a plain and clean dress that wrapped around her voluptuous body. Her exquisite curves emitted an alluring luster. Han Xueling was a little entranced as he watched, and his heart thumped violently. For a moment, he actually forgot that this was a banquet of the royal family. He completely didn't listen to what the Emperor, An Ming, and Tuoba Feng were saying.
"Your Majesty, everyone knows that I, An Ming, have a good interest in polishing mirrors. I don't mind it, but I have never had any designs on Sister Tuoba. Sister Tuoba has always been clean and self-disciplined. She is also the pearl of the Great General's residence. Naturally, she has a strict upbringing, unlike me who has a mother but no mother to raise her.”
After An Ming said this, the Emperor frowned and lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something. An Ming raised her head shamelessly, and the girls beside her blushed. The An sisters who came with An Ming were especially embarrassed.
An Ming glanced at them and didn't seem to care. She had grown used to it since she was young. "Tuoba Feng, what do you have to say? Why are you so quiet now?”Tuoba Feng then raised his head slightly. His bright phoenix eyes blinked, and his long eyelashes drooped down again.
"This woman is innocent. This woman is not good at polishing mirrors. Moreover, she does not dare to be presumptuous in this rose garden.”Tuoba Feng's tone was flat and did not stir up any waves. After all, she was the daughter of a minister, and the Emperor would not make things difficult for her. Since the two of them insisted on their innocence, it was better to just push the boat with the current and end it.
Just as the Emperor was about to speak, Concubine Mei came over. "Your Majesty, this witness is standing right here. If we were to settle this hastily, I'm afraid it would be difficult to convince the masses and damage your majesty.”Concubine Mei spoke very tactfully and softly. The Emperor felt very uncomfortable listening to her.
Imperial Concubine Hua noticed that Concubine Mei's seductive eyes were fixated on the Emperor. She was annoyed and snorted coldly," Your Majesty, this matter has happened in my rose garden. We must investigate thoroughly. If someone is framing you, we must prove Miss Tuoba and Miss An's innocence. We must not let those who have ill intentions take advantage of this loophole and let such a filthy matter tarnish the royal family's reputation."”
The Emperor coughed twice to hide his embarrassment." I can't rely on your one-sided words. How about this? If you have any evidence to prove your innocence, I will believe you. I will also execute those girls and their masters to prove your innocence. If you can't produce it, I will execute you to save the face of the royal family.”
Tuoba Feng started to panic. How could they still produce evidence to prove this? She looked at An Ming, who was frowning at the same time. She was racking her brain to think of a way to produce evidence to prove her innocence. "Your Majesty, this servant has evidence." The Emperor shook his head and waved his hand, indicating for her to present it.
Qing `er pursed her lips and smiled as she walked towards Tuoba Feng. Lu Chu and Concubine Mei exchanged a glance before looking at Tuoba Feng with a gloating expression. Their eyes were filled with anticipation and interest. "Miss Tuoba, can you lend your handkerchief to this servant?”
Tuoba Feng looked at Qing `er hesitantly. He wanted nothing more than to tear this b * tch into pieces. However, his gaze was abnormally calm. "Tuoba Feng, take it out and give it to her. We didn't do anything anyway, so we're not afraid of her spouting nonsense.”Tuoba Feng nodded and handed the handkerchief Xiao Ling gave him to Qing 'er.
