Chapter 424 Clearly aware of everything
"Father-in-law, you are truly remarkable. I must admire you now. However, your methods will not work here. I believe the Emperor will see through everything."
However, Qin Zhongting paid no attention to Chen Er's teasing. Instead, Qin Zhongting took a liking to the Emperor and spoke with great fear.
"Your Majesty, you have heard it now. You have heard how Qin Luoshen's maidservant evaluated Chen Er. Besides, maidservants don't lie. I hope you will stand up for our Qin Luoshen."
Zhang Xingchen was now perfectly clear in his mind that his good brother must have been framed. In fact, Zhang Xingchen couldn't understand why Qin Zhongting would hate Chen Er so much and throw such a big smear on him. Just as the situation became awkward and the emperor was about to punish Chen Er,
Suddenly, two panting guards carrying swords rushed in from outside: "What's making you so nervous? Haven't I told you countless times? How can the imperial court be so ungrateful?"
The emperor was already furious, and seeing the two guards with swords suddenly rush in in a panic only fueled his anger.
One of the guards with a sword immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, a woman claiming to be Qin Luoshen wants to come in, and she said that if you do not wish to see her today, she will commit suicide outside." The guard stammered as he spoke.
The Emperor was somewhat taken aback, not expecting that Cao Cao would appear so suddenly. However, what surprised the Emperor was why Qin Luoshen did not come in directly to request an audience, but instead sent in a guard with a sword to explain the situation. The Emperor felt that there must be something strange about this.
"I'm asking you why Qin Luoshen isn't allowed to come in, even though she's already at the door. Did you try to stop her?"
The emperor asked angrily, and the two guards with swords immediately fell silent upon hearing the emperor's words.
Another, bolder person said, "It wasn't us who stopped her. It was those people from the Eastern Depot who wouldn't let Qin Luoshen in. So, Qin Luoshen had no choice but to threaten to kill herself. When I saw that things had gotten out of hand, I decided to bite the bullet and offend the people from the Eastern Depot, and then I came in to report."
The words of the guard with the sword left the emperor somewhat bewildered. He didn't understand how this matter was related to Wei Zhongxian.
In fact, the Emperor did not know Qin Zhongting. The two had met when they went to the morning court session. On the way there, Qin Zhongting and Wei Zhongxian had already made their plans.
The goal is to smear Chen Er, and Wei Zhongxian will have his men obstruct him from the outside. Qin Zhongting knows his own daughter very well, and now that Chen Er has finally made a contribution, Qin Luoshen will surely be happily waiting outside.
So if Qin Luoshen heard Qin Zhongting smearing Chen Er, she would definitely come in and defend Chen Er. Of course, Qin Zhongting himself didn't know how he knew Qin Zhongting was smearing Chen Er.
In fact, Qin Zhongting didn't know that when Xiaoqing walked in, she glanced at her mistress. That glance, filled with guilt, revealed the extraordinary woman, as intelligent as Qin Luoshen. Qin Zhongting understood that Xiaoqing, as a maid, had been summoned by the Emperor, so there must be something going on.
Qin Luoshen was happy for Chen Er, so she secretly followed him outside, waiting for him to come back and tell her what position he had been promoted to.
However, just now, after Qin Luoshen saw the maid enter the court, she had a bad feeling, which is why the current situation happened. The emperor would not hesitate at all. However, just as the emperor spoke...
Wei Zhongxian spoke first: "Your Majesty, Qin Luoshen is, after all, a victim. It would be inappropriate to let her in now. Besides, some people might use certain methods to brainwash her. You might not believe what she says."
Wei Zhongxian spoke again: "You traitorous dog, how dare you insult my husband here? Do you deserve this official robe?" Qin Luoshen stormed in from outside, furious.
To everyone's surprise, the beads of sweat on Qin Luoshen's forehead fell like raindrops onto her dress, adding to her charm. Qin Luoshen's appearance made the scene a little awkward, as no one expected her to appear at this moment.
Moreover, they even forced their way in, which made Chen Er even more bewildered. However, the moment Chen Er saw Qin Luoshen, a warm current flowed through him. Qin Luoshen treated everyone else as air and directly threw herself into Chen Er's arms.
Qin Luoshen kept pounding Chen Er's back with her pink fists: "How can you be so annoying? You made me worry for nothing. Now that things have come to this point, the Emperor is about to convict you, how can you still be laughing?"
Qin Luoshen found it hard to understand how her husband could be so carefree. Qin Zhongting had already smeared Chen Er, and the Emperor was about to convict him, but this young man, Chen Er, was still smiling. Although his smile seemed a little forced, it was a smile that made Qin Luoshen feel like she was basking in a spring breeze.
Chen Er immediately embraced Qin Luoshen and said helplessly, "If the emperor commands a subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die. If the emperor is determined to kill me, then even if I speak up for myself, it will be too late."
Chen Er's words, seemingly a sigh of his own, were actually meant for the Emperor's ears. He wanted to tell the Emperor not to believe everything he heard, or he might be used as a weapon without even realizing it. Although the Emperor had been sidelined by Wei Zhongxian, he was not stupid.
"Qin Luoshen, is this your maid? She is your personal maid. You treat everything this girl says as if she were your best friend. I didn't expect Xiaoqing to say such a thing."
Qin Luoshen spoke her mind, and her words made Xiaoqing feel even more guilty. Xiaoqing lowered her head, and the maid didn't even have the courage to look Qin Luoshen in the eye. At this moment, Zhang Xingchen, who was standing next to her, felt a little helpless.
The Emperor asked Qin Luoshen if this matter had occurred, which meant whether Chen Er had broken in while Qin Luoshen was taking a bath. Therefore, Zhang Xingchen noticed that the Emperor was a little unhappy, and Zhang Xingchen immediately whispered something.
