Chapter 127 Who would know
At that moment, one could hear a pin drop in the Xingshuang Palace.
Concubine Rou knelt on the ground, hiding the viciousness in her eyes.
Although Emperor Mingze does not believe in ghosts and gods, if someone has such vicious intentions, he will never let the other party off easily!
After a while, the emperor, who was sitting on the main seat, finally spoke.
"My beloved concubine, what you mean is," Jiang Yanchuan said in a cold tone full of sarcasm, "Is my daughter possessed by some evil spirit to harm me?"
Imperial Concubine Rou propped up her upper body and said, "I just think that the Eleventh Princess may have changed her temperament because she had been exposed to these evil ways..."
Just then, a cool breeze blew by and blew out the two candles in the hall, and half of Jiang Yanchuan's face was hidden in the slightly dim light and shadow.
He lowered his eyes and stared at Concubine Rou for a long time, then suddenly chuckled.
Everyone in the hall was silent.
This scene made it seem more like he was the one possessed by the evil spirit.
Jiang Yanchuan reached out and took out a piece of candy from the wooden box, stuffed it into the hand of the frozen little girl, patted her head gently twice, and then stood up slowly.
Before he could open his mouth, he saw a palace maid at the door walking towards him hurriedly.
Eunuch Changshun hurried over to greet her. The two whispered to each other for a moment, and then Eunuch Changshun hurried back, "Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Qing wants to see you."
Jiang Yanchuan paused: "Announce."
Concubine Qing had just accepted a huge favor from the little guy a while ago, so it was not surprising for him to see her here this time.
only……
The little fellow's expression was dazed, and he had completely lost his former vitality. His usually talkative voice had not been heard for a long time. He was obviously frightened by Concubine Rou's words.
Jiang Yanchuan let out a long sigh.
He suddenly felt that his overly complicated identity might be a nuisance to the little guy.
The little girl was always thinking about him, but he couldn't give her a pure childhood.
Concubine Qing did not come alone.
Several eunuchs behind her were holding a middle-aged man who was tied up and had a handkerchief stuffed in his mouth.
The man seemed to have been crying all the way, his face was covered with tear marks and sobs kept coming out of his mouth.
Concubine Rou just glanced back and then she trembled violently as if her soul had left her.
How could it be him? !
Is this Concubine Qing crazy? ! !
Concubine Qing bowed hurriedly, and when she stood up, she glanced at the little guy on the seat with heartache and gritted her teeth secretly.
Palace fighting is palace fighting, what does it matter if Concubine Rou involves her child?
So tasteless!
She turned around and signaled the accompanying palace maid to hand a booklet to Eunuch Changshun, without any hesitation in her eyes.
After Eunuch Changshun presented the booklet to Jiang Yanchuan, she said resolutely: "Your Majesty, this booklet contains the transaction list of Zeng Wencheng's sales of your horoscope in recent years. It clearly records the time, place and amount of each transaction. You only need to take a look to know the whole story!"
Concubine Rou was shaking all over.
These words were like a sharp sword that pierced her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She had just bought the horoscope from this man not long ago. If he had really recorded the transaction details, she would definitely have been recorded in the book!
Imperial Concubine Rou suppressed the trembling in her voice and tried to interfere with Emperor Mingze's flipping through the pages: "Even if Concubine Wan's name isn't on the list, couldn't it have been shared with her by a concubine who was on good terms with her?!"
Imperial Concubine Qing glanced at Imperial Concubine Rou with disdain in her eyes and said softly, "Did I ever say that Concubine Wan's name wasn't on it?"
Concubine Rou was stunned, and cold sweat instantly gushed out from the pores of her body, soaking her inner clothes.
Yes, “she who has never met Zeng Wencheng” should not know such questions!
She knew she had made a mistake this time, and hurriedly tried to make amends: "You, you have been in close contact with Xingshuang Palace recently, so of course I-"
"Snapped--"
The rustling sound of the booklet being placed on the table was not loud, but it successfully calmed both of them down.
"Zeng Wencheng," Jiang Yanchuan said, "do you have anything else to say?"
The majesty of the superior spread throughout the room, and everyone's breathing was held.
Everyone in the room focused their attention on Zeng Wencheng.
The handkerchief in his mouth had been taken off when the book was handed to him, but he did not dare to utter a single word.
Emperor Mingze spent half his life in military service and achieved countless legendary things. However, even for an emperor with countless great achievements, when people talk about him, they cannot avoid mentioning his terrifying torture methods.
Zeng Wencheng did not dare to argue and directly admitted the guilt.
Despite this, when the imperial guards dragged the man out, his mournful cry for mercy still echoed in the hall for a long time.
Jiang Yingcheng was called back to his senses by this voice. His stunned expression finally cracked. He pursed his lips and spoke in a wronged voice: [Wuwuwu, Brother Tong, it seems like we are really the evil ways wowwuwuwu——]
It's okay that she herself is a time traveler, but the existence of 007 is beyond the cognition of this world!
[Cheng Cheng, Cheng Cheng, I read in the story that they would tie the possessed person to a pillar and burn him to death! ] The little baby voice was sobbing and sounded very pitiful, [Wuwuwu Cheng Cheng, don’t wow——eh? ]
Jiang Yingcheng was so focused on howling that she didn't notice when her handsome father walked up to her, stretched out a hand, and gently stroked her back: "Are you scared?"
He couldn't directly comfort the little girl about her worries, so he could only let her know in this way that the city fortress he built was indestructible and enough for her to rely on without worry.
The cuffs of the wide sleeves just rested on her shoulders. Jiang Yingcheng took the opportunity to grab a small corner, and then reached out for a hug as if to be more demanding.
[Father likes Cheng Cheng,] she told 007, and it was as if she was telling it to herself, [He would definitely not want to burn Cheng Cheng to death!]
Jiang Yanchuan held the little girl in his arms gently, and his cold temperament was immediately reduced.
He turned around and sat back on the soft chair, coaxing patiently: "Do you remember where you hid your box?"
Jiang Yingcheng froze, turned her head and quickly glanced at her mother's expression, then buried her head in the arms of her handsome father, raised her hand and pointed in a direction.
The voice was muffled through a layer of clothing: "It's right under the flower table."
Everyone looked in the direction the little hand was pointing.
The flower table was made of Dalbergia odorifera, and several dolls were stuffed inside, perfectly covering the hollow bottom.
If an adult wants to find the box, he or she must lie flat on the ground.
Jiang Yanchuan's emotionless eyes swept straight towards Concubine Rou, whose face was ashen and she didn't dare to look up at him.
"The jade bead on your purse suddenly fell off and rolled right there..."
Although this matter would be charged with deceiving the emperor if one was not careful, but -
[Hmm? You bribed so many people in my mother's palace? ]
[Ah! The few people that my mother left in the palace at that time, have all surrendered to the enemy?! ]
A dark light flashed in Concubine Rou's eyes.
Who would have known?!
