Chapter 174: Rest well

Including the emperor.

They almost thought they were watching a joke, and this Tan Jian was the protagonist of the joke and the harlequin on the stage.

What he said was so ridiculous that it made people feel like they couldn't laugh.

Just when there was silence, Su Youyi got up and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this an assassination?" It doesn't matter what he originally wanted to do, anyway, he wanted to pull out a knife and hold his concubine hostage, what is this not assassination? ”

Before the emperor could speak, the queen persuaded him with kind words: "Concubine Zhao, don't think that the crime of assassination is more serious. He confessed to himself that he wanted to be contemptuous of you, which is the crime of filthy harem, which is more serious than assassination. ”

"Really?"

Su Youyi pretended to be ignorant and blessed her body, "Thank you for reminding the queen, Your Majesty, since he has confessed, what do you say should be done?" ”

The emperor looked at Tan Jian, who was kneeling on the ground, "Good and dignified, why do you suddenly want to be a light concubine?" Don't you know that this is a capital offense? ”

After all, the emperor is the emperor, and every question is interlocking.

Concubine Xian glanced at Jian rather nervously, hoping that there would be no flaws in his answer.

Fortunately, Su Youyi was born young and beautiful, as long as she insisted that it was a momentary idea, the emperor would not suspect anything.

I saw Tan Jian raise his head and look at the virtuous concubine, "Your Majesty, that's because some people hope that Concubine Zhao's innocent name will be ruined, and the emperor will be beaten into the cold palace or even killed." A scholar in the courtier's district, if there is no one to instruct him, how dare he draw a knife against Concubine Zhao? ”

Concubine Xian was taken aback, and the eyes of the emperor and the queen both looked at her.

The emperor's gaze was as indifferent as usual, "Who instructed you?" ”

"It's a virtuous concubine."

Concubine Xiangui's body was so weak that she almost fell to the ground, she never expected that Tan Jian would dare to betray her!

The emperor didn't even interrogate him, he directly betrayed himself!

Doesn't he want his family to live?!

The second prince instantly opened his mouth wide when he heard this, and looked at Concubine Xian in disbelief, and he didn't know if he was surprised that Concubine Xian would do such a thing, or that she was so easily recruited for doing such a thing.

Concubine Xian barely supported herself to stand up, "Bold! How dare you frame this palace! Your Majesty, he framed his concubines, but the concubines had never done such a thing! ”

The emperor looked at her lightly, although he didn't have any expression, his gaze seemed to be able to look directly into her heart.

Concubine Xian fought a cold war.

The queen reacted immediately, and said to Tan Jian: "You said that it was instructed by the virtuous concubine, what is the evidence?" ”

Credentials are naturally necessary, and only with evidence can the virtuous concubine be convinced.

The queen was in high spirits, and she had a strange premonition in her heart, if this matter could be successfully investigated, the virtuous concubine would be doomed this time.

Tan Jian, who was kneeling on the ground, said: "Although the minister has no evidence, the minister knows where the evidence is!" Your Majesty, the Empress, as long as you find out who sent these suddenly extra guards, won't you know who is waiting for the incident? The virtuous concubine told the minister that once the minister restrained Zhao Concubine, her people would rush in, and Zhao Concubine would be charged with fornication with the minister no matter what, and then Zhao Concubine would be doomed! ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Su Youyi, she could be regarded as having crawled out of hell.

Su Youyi, who crawled out of hell, was very nervous, and she didn't know where to get a plate of melon seeds, and she felt very interesting while listening to Tan Jian and Concubine Xian to Bo Gongtang.

Seeing the emperor and the queen looking at her, she hurriedly offered the melon seeds respectfully, "Your Majesty, the queen, do you want to have some?" ”

The emperor ignored her, and the queen smiled and declined.

Su Youyi was so happy to take it back and distribute it to the eldest prince, and everyone watched the play while eating melon seeds.

Tan Jian mentioned the guards in the hall, and everyone immediately fell to their knees in fright.

They are all registered in the palace, and they can find out the details with a casual check, and it seems that they can't escape this catastrophe this time.

Looking at this empty appearance, whether it was deliberately sent by someone doesn't need to be checked.

The virtuous concubine knew that she couldn't hide it, so she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, these guards are arranged by the concubines, but the concubines hope that they will protect the second prince on behalf of the concubines!" Recently, Concubine Zhao often came to the princes, and the concubines were worried that she would hurt the second prince because she was not on good terms with the concubines, so she sent additional guards, which does not prove that the concubines intended to frame her! ”

This reason is good, so good that Su Youyi wants to stand up and applaud her.

It's a pity that she has melon seeds in her hands, so it's inconvenient to applaud.

She gave the emperor a look, and the next thing is the emperor's business, she has nothing to say.

Tan Jian said: "Your Majesty, even if these guards are really as the virtuous concubine said, the killer in the ambush in the minister's house can at least prove that she instigated it, right?" I wonder if the emperor sent someone to protect the minister's family? ”

He looked at the emperor expectantly, and the virtuous concubine looked at the emperor in surprise.

Impossible, how could the emperor know in advance and send someone to protect Tan Jian's family?

It's impossible!

This matter was done very secretively, except for her and Li Ge Lao herself, almost no one knew the specific deployment of the matter, how could the emperor know in advance?

The emperor looked at Tan Jian and nodded almost inaudibly.

Tan Jian's whole person relaxed, smiling, as long as his family was safe, he had nothing else to ask for.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Concubine Zhao!"

Su Youyi smiled at him, meaning that now I know that I didn't lie to you.

Although Tan Jian was at fault in this matter, he was forced to be helpless in the end, and it was not his original choice.

As for his family being more innocent, after Su Youyi understood the characteristics of Tan Jian's identity, she went to the emperor overnight and asked him to send someone to secretly protect Tan Jian's family.

Not only that, but you can also harvest a wave of killers by the way, which is an ironclad witness.

This gentle action that made Tan Jian extremely happy made Concubine Xian completely discouraged.

The emperor knows.

He had known for a long time.

"Concubine Xian, do you have anything else to say?"

The queen looked at her with a victorious smile, but the virtuous concubine said nothing.

"The concubine hasn't done it, what did the queen mother say to the concubine?"

The emperor Huo Ran got up and startled the virtuous concubine, but he didn't look at her, but just looked down and said: "Spread my will, take these guards into prison and investigate, Tan Jian will be put into the prison together, and no one will be allowed to visit without my will." The virtuous concubine is confined to the palace, and all the attendants around her are not allowed to give and receive private contacts, and they will be dealt with after the matter is clarified. ”

After saying that, he was about to walk out, and when he passed by Su Youyi's side, he suddenly stopped.

"You're frightened today, go back and get some rest."

Su Youyi put down the melon seeds and clapped her hands, "Emperor Xie." ”

Everyone was gone, and Su Youyi looked back and saw that only a few children were still there.

Also, their master has been arrested, and this lesson will definitely not be able to be taken today, and there must be an explanation for the children to continue to stay here.
