"Empress Dowager, Xuan wangye and wangfei are here.”
The eunuch stood beside a graceful woman and whispered into her ear.
"Pass!"
"Yes, sir!"
Situ Mantiao and Chu Yixuan were brought into the palace by the eunuchs. When they entered the hall, they saw the Empress Dowager standing on the couch.
"Mother, why did you call me here today? Is there something important to tell me?”
Chu Yixuan pulled Situ Mantian beside him and asked her in confusion after a court salute.
Situ Mantian rarely entered the palace, so it was inevitable that she would be a little curious about the Forbidden City. When she arrived at the palace hall, people still kept looking at her.
The hall was very spacious, and there were many rare antiques. As expected of the royal palace, any random decoration was expensive.
The Empress Dowager looked at Situ Nanyao with dissatisfaction and asked indifferently,""There have been many things happening in the Imperial Residence recently.”
The two people present naturally knew what he meant.
Situ Mantian could not help but sneer in her heart. She looked at Chu Yixuan, wondering what he would say.
He was the one who caused this.
"Empress Dowager, have you heard any rumors?”
Chu Yixuan still acted like he didn't know anything and didn't explain.
The empress dowager was obviously dissatisfied with Situ Manyao and snorted coldly.
"When I was in the garden with the noble consort admiring the flowers today, I heard some people talking about the matter of the wang fu. Man Tian, tell me, what is the adultery between the princess consort and a servant that the scoundrels are talking about?”
Situ Mantiao's eyes flashed as she stood in the hall with her head lowered. She didn't want to say anything, and she wouldn't say anything either. Whoever caused this should be the one to solve it.
"Mother, why would you believe the rumors spread by those servants?”
Chu Yixuan reached out to hold Situ Mantian's hand and held it tightly in his palm, creating a scene of the two of them being very loving.
His palm was dry and warm. He wrapped her hand and rubbed it, but she couldn't feel any warmth. On the contrary, she felt an inexplicable chill in her heart. She wanted to pull her hand back, but she found that Chu Yixuan's grip was getting stronger and stronger. She couldn't break free at all.
"Is it really just a rumor?"
The Empress Dowager obviously did not believe him. She stared at Chu Yixuan for a long time, then looked away at Situ Manyao.
"Manyao, tell me."
She stared at her without blinking, as if she wanted to see into her heart. Situ Mantian was shocked. She opened her mouth, but she realized that she could not speak at all.
The strength in Situ Mantian's hand grew stronger and stronger, forcing him to look at him. He was facing him, and he opened his mouth and spat out word by word.
Situ Mantiao saw Chu Yixuan's mouth shape clearly and her face turned to the side.
He said "Lian".
Situ Manyao's face turned pale as she looked up at the empress dowager.
"Empress Dowager, I only said a few more words when I ordered the servants to do things, but I didn't know that it had been spread like this by outsiders. Although I don't know who was secretly causing trouble, it was indeed too much.”
Situ Mantiao said expressionlessly as she slowly pulled her hand back.
The empress dowager carefully examined their faces and nodded after a while.
"Since there's nothing else, you should go back and rest early. Manyao, you must pay attention to your words and actions in the future and don't be misunderstood by others.”
"Empress Dowager is right."
Situ Mantian lowered her head.
The two of them went back after a while. Situ Manyao usually went to bed early, so she was already a little sleepy.
Because the person sitting next to her was Chu Yixuan, she didn't dare to be too careless. If he did something to hurt her again, then wouldn't she…
It was rare for Chu Yixuan to remain silent until they arrived at the Xuan Mansion. Situ Manyao looked at him in confusion.
"Why didn't you just say that I committed adultery in front of the Empress Dowager? Wouldn't that achieve your goal?”
If she really hated him, wasn't this the best time?
"It's easy for you to think about it!" Chu Yixuan laughed coldly, the disdain on his face was even more obvious under the moonlight.
"Situ Mantian, I've told you before, if you really did harm Yuqing, I won't let you off so easily. I'll let you slowly die of pain!”
Situ Mantian smiled. Her face was pale, and the corners of her mouth curled up perfectly. She looked inexplicably beautiful on such a night.
"I'm looking forward to the day you find out the truth.”
After saying that, Situ Mantiao got off the carriage without looking back and went straight to his room.
It was already late, and Situ Manyao thought that Lian Xin would have gone to sleep by now. However, when she saw Lian Xin sitting on the couch and waiting for her, her heart softened.
"Lian Xin, why aren't you asleep yet?”
"Miss, I'm worried about you. I can't sleep.”
Lian Xin smiled weakly at Situ Mantiao. Although her injuries had recovered a lot, they had not fully recovered yet. Naturally, she could not move now.
"Silly, what's there to worry about?”
Situ Manyao raised her hand and caressed her face."Before I left, didn't I ask someone to pass you a message? I'm going to the palace to let you rest first.”
"I know, but when I think of the last time you were framed by his highness, I can't sleep because I'm worried.”
She knew that the young miss's temper was stubborn, and she did not know why she had entered the palace this time. She was naturally very worried. Fortunately, the young miss had returned safely.
"Miss, the Imperial Palace and the Prince's Mansion cannot compare to our Prime Minister's Mansion. In the Prime Minister's Mansion, if you make any mistakes, at most you will be taught a lesson by the Old Master. But now you are in the Prince's Mansion, if you make the Prince unhappy, it is very likely that you will not even be able to keep your own name.”
Situ Mantian knew that Lian Xin was saying all this because she was worried about her. She was very gratified, and she held her hand and nodded vigorously.
"I know. You haven't recovered yet. Go to bed early.”
In order to take care of Lian Xin's health, Situ Mantiao ordered the servants to place another bed in her room.
The wound on Lian Xin's back had yet to completely scab over, so she still had to lie on her stomach when she slept. Situ Mantiao felt guilty when she saw her posture, but she didn't say anything.
There were some things that one just needed to know in their hearts.
Chu Yixuan asked the servants to bring the Blue Luan to his study, his face gloomy.
The Green Luan thought that Chu Yixuan was here to see her and was instantly overjoyed. After dressing up in front of the bronze mirror, she rushed to Chu Yixuan's study excitedly.
"Your Highness, is there something you need me for?"
It had been a long time since she had been loved by his highness and she was feeling frustrated. She did not expect his highness to think of her at this moment.
Chu Yixuan looked up at her and said after a while,""You've been looking for trouble with the princess consort?”
The Green Luan was stunned. She did not know why Chu Yixuan suddenly asked this question. When she came to her senses, her expression changed again and again, turning pale.
"Your Highness…"
"You just have to say yes or no!”
"This concubine did not deliberately find trouble with wangfei. It's just that wangfei has clearly not been in the fu for long, yet she wants to use her status to suppress us sisters. The Blue Luan is an impatient person, and seeing wangfei being so unreasonable, she spoke rudely.”
The Green Luan thought that Chu Yixuan wanted to ask about the time when she and Zidai went to find trouble with Situ Manyao, so she quickly explained herself.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel curious. Since when did His Highness protect Situ Manyao so much?
"Then do you know about my hand injury?”
Chu Yixuan didn't even look at Qingluan, who was beside him. From the beginning to the end, he treated her as if she didn't exist, as if she was air.
"This…this?"
The Blue Luan hesitated and didn't know what to say. She only knew about what happened last time and didn't participate in it. However, when he asked, she felt a little guilty.
"You know?"
"Yes!"
Seeing that Chu Yixuan seemed to have known about the situation, the Green Luan did not dare to quibble and obediently admitted it.
Chu Yixuan sneered in his heart. It was indeed so.
"So you released this news and it naturally reached the Empress Dowager's ears? Also, you were the one who committed adultery with the princess consort this time?”
He didn't expect the woman in his residence to be so scheming. Why was there a need to stay?
"Wangye, what are you talking about? I only know that you were stabbed by wangfei. I didn't do anything else!”
The Blue Luan was shocked. Wasn't it Zidai who said that she wanted to release the news? Why did his highness suspect her?
"So you're saying that you don't know anything?”
Chu Yixuan's lips curled up in disdain, clearly in disbelief.
"I…Although I know, the person who released the news was Sister Zidai.”
The Blue Luan couldn't care less. If His Highness really believed that she was the one who did it, she would definitely suffer.
"Zi Dai?"
Chu Yixuan murmured softly, and then a smile appeared on his face.
He should have known that this would happen. They would definitely push the blame to each other and distance themselves from everything.
"Your highness, the Blue Luan really didn't lie to you. This matter really wasn't done by the Blue Luan.”
Seeing Chu Yixuan's face full of disbelief, the Blue Luan naturally started to get anxious.
Chu Yixuan placed his hand on the table and suddenly thought of Ji Yuqing.
She was never a jealous woman. If she saw him being overly intimate with other women, she would only stay by his side and act coquettishly to keep him away from those unclean women.
Unfortunately, now…
Chu Yixuan's Lianshan flashed with a flash of realization and his face was expressionless as usual.
"You can leave. However, you have to help me pass a message to Zidai. No matter which of you did this, I hope that there won't be a next time. If you don't listen to my advice, I guarantee that you will regret it!”
The Green Luan raised its head and looked at Chu Yixuan with trepidation, then agreed as if it had just woken up from a dream.
"Yes, thank you for your magnanimity.”# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
