Ma Zhou said politely: "It is truly a blessing for me to have His Highness listen to you... Your Highness, please."
Princess Gao Yang nodded slightly, moved her steps lightly, and walked into the main hall gracefully but proudly.
The surrounding Jingzhao Mansion officials and government servants did not dare to breathe when the two of them were fighting, for fear of getting into trouble. When Ma Zhou accompanied Princess Gao Yang into the main hall, they all let out a breath and looked at each other, feeling a little agitated. Incredible.
In the past, the most dazzling member of the Fang family was naturally Fang Jun. He had great meritorious service and a high position. He was deeply trusted by his majesty and relied upon by the prince, and his authority was highly regarded by the world. As the Princess of the Tang Dynasty, Her Highness Gao Yang has always had a low sense of presence.
However, now everyone understands that no matter how low the sense of existence is, the Princess of the Tang Dynasty is still the Princess of the Tang Dynasty. Especially when I heard that before she was married, this Highness was very arrogant and domineering. Now that she is a wife and mother, she has cultivated her moral character, but she has never The sharpness of the past has been smoothed away.
Just seeing how Ma Zhou, who dared to argue even in front of His Majesty, nodded and bowed to accompany her carefully, we can see how difficult Princess Gaoyang was.
Princess Gaoyang is still like this, if she waits until Fang Er comes back...
Haha, I can’t even think about it. The Changsun family is really obsessed with lard this time.
…
In the main hall, Wu Meiniang was sitting upright on a chair, her pretty face tensed up, she looked calm and composed, but in fact her delicate hands in her sleeves were already tightly clenched together.
No matter how smart and wise she is, in the final analysis she is just a woman who has not yet reached the age of flowers. She has not experienced such conspiracies and contingencies of life and death. She is inevitably frightened when she suddenly encounters a kidnapping.
If by chance the Changsun family was taken away by Changsun Wen at that time, Wu Meiniang's reputation would be ruined throughout her life. Even if Fang Jun would treat it as nothing happened and not care about it afterwards, how could she be able to live with it in her own heart?
Women have three obediences and four virtues. In the final analysis, chastity comes first.
Once she enters the Changsun family, who will believe her innocence? The accumulated feathers sink the boat, and the group lightly breaks the shaft. When a woman's reputation is gone and her reputation is gone, how can she have the dignity to stay with her husband?
The deeper her love for her husband is, the less she can let the cold words from the outside slander her husband's reputation. At that time, Wu Meiniang will have no choice but to commit suicide to protect her husband's reputation...
Therefore, she was both scared and angry at the moment.
Her pretty face looks as cold as ice, but in fact her eyes are about to burst out of fire. She wishes she could burn Changsun Wen standing in the hall to ashes, and then throw him into the gutter to feed those snakes, insects, rats, and ants...
Jin Wang Li Zhi, who was sitting opposite, was drinking tea leisurely, seemingly carelessly, but in fact his eyes never left Wu Meiniang for a moment.
Crystal white skin, a moon-shy face, a plump and graceful figure, a charming charm that can't be concealed even with a cold face and anger...
Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a waste of natural resources!
Almost every aspect of this girl's body perfectly fits his taste, yet she happened to become Fang Jun's concubine early...
The more Li Zhi watched, the more he liked it, and the more he watched, the more depressed he became.
It's a pity that Zhang Ji hasn't spoken out yet, and Fang Jun, the "porter", has never paid attention to Han Yu's disciple. Otherwise, Li Zhi would have sighed and recited "You know that I have a husband, so I will give you two The pearl, feeling your lingering affection, is tied in a red lining"...
I wish we could meet each other before we were married!
Although Changsun Wen was standing, he did not show much panic and fear. He just stood with his hands tied. He was not at all like the daring thieves who just sat down and were waiting to rob women in the street and intended to abuse the female relatives of important ministers. He looked more like a thieves. The unruly attitude of "I have been appointed, do whatever you want"...
When Princess Gaoyang stepped into the hall, Wu Meiniang immediately stood up and called out: "Your Highness..."
Immediately, his eyes were red, and he felt aggrieved. This was really an unreasonable disaster, and he almost fell into a desperate situation.
Princess Gao Yang stepped forward quickly, held Wu Meiniang's hands, and said softly: "I am here, there is no need to be afraid. If you don't give us an explanation today, I will never give up even if I stab you in the sky!"
As he spoke, he pinched Wu Meiniang's mouth hard with his hand.
Wu Meiniang understood immediately, without much preparation, her tears immediately fell like broken beads, and she sobbed.
Princess Gaoyang patted her on the shoulder, seemingly comforting her, but in fact she was very pleased.
Really talented...
Then he looked angrily at the eldest son, Sun Wen, and shouted in a sweet voice: "It's simply lawless! The descendants of the eldest son of the Sun family actually sit down and do such a rampant thing. Do they not pay attention to the laws and regulations of the country, or do they think that our Fang family is all dead people?" ? No matter how we deal with today's affairs, I will go to Zhao Guogong and ask, is this world the world of Li Tang or his eldest grandson's family? "
Changsun Wen felt tremendous pressure at this moment. He knew that Princess Gaoyang was not soft and easy-going. She was naughty and unruly before she got married. In addition, Wu Meiniang was even more fierce and sinister. The two of them could not tell the truth. Dare to go to my father and pull his beard and scratch him a few times in public...
He was frightened and hurriedly defended: "Your Highness, please calm down. This matter is just a misunderstanding. Your Majesty has never robbed Lady Wu. It's just the porters and coolies who kept making noises, which caused the misunderstanding..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Wu Meiniang was already holding Princess Gaoyang's shoulders and crying, sobbing and saying: "Your Highness, if I were to be taken away to someone else's house, I would have to die to protect my innocence. I would almost not be able to see Your Highness, wuwu... …”
Changsun Wen: "..."
Come on, in front of these two women, even if you are tongue-tied, you can't defend yourself, so just plead guilty.
Anyway, my goal has been achieved. Even if I admit guilt, it doesn't matter. I can't just kill myself for such a small thing...
Li Zhi on the side looked at Wu Meiniang sobbing and choking, and the pear blossoms were raining with rain. This was heartbreaking, and he couldn't help but angrily said: "How audacious! Zhao Guogong's upbringing is very strict, how could he teach you such a bastard? No matter what you have What are you thinking? Since I went to look for a man in my house, why are you so shameless when you can't get along with a woman? Bah!"
Changsun Wen: "..."
No, I haven't touched your concubine. Why are you so excited, Your Highness, King Jin? You just happened to take advantage of the opportunity. You didn't think about how to clean yourself. Instead, you criticized me for doing something right or not. It's simply inexplicable.
Princess Gao Yang then gently pushed Wu Meiniang away and saluted Li Zhi Wanfu: "I have met His Highness Prince Jin."
Li Zhi didn't dare to make excuses, so he stood up quickly and returned the courtesy: "Sister Gao Yang, there is no need to be too polite. Today's incident is really coincidental for me. It can also be said to be an unnecessary disaster. I hope that Sister Gao Yang..."
The words were ordinary, but they were interrupted by the cold-faced Princess Gaoyang, who said calmly: "Your Highness is overly worried. We don't need to speculate on the truth of the matter. Jingzhao Mansion will make an impartial decision."
Li Zhi could only laugh along, feeling very embarrassed.
Because he had the desire to compete for his heir apparent, all his brothers and sisters drew a clear line with him one after another. Some of them became closer, but most of them felt invisible alienation, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
But there was no blame.
He knew that his brothers and sisters were not opposed to his fight for the throne, but they felt that once the throne was unstable, conflicts between the princes and princesses would inevitably arise due to interests. The old brotherhood would be gone, and it would be inevitable for the brothers to fight against each other...
In Li Zhi's view, everyone's current reaction is really ordinary. If he succeeds in his bid for the throne in the future, he will definitely not mind today's alienation. Although he will not treat everyone equally, he will try his best to fulfill the righteousness of brothers and sisters.
Ma Zhou then walked into the hall and sat directly behind the main desk, and then all the officials and clerks of Jingzhao Mansion came to the hall.
He lightly knocked on the gavel on the desk and was about to speak when he saw Princess Gao Yang still standing and said quickly: "Come here, bring a chair to His Highness Gao Yang and make a pot of good tea."
He was close to Fang Jun, and Gao Yang was the princess of the dynasty, so he looked much more amiable than his usual respectful and serious appearance in the court today.
The officialdom is also humane and sophisticated, but I am not afraid of being impeached by the censor for this...
When the chair was brought up and a clerk offered tea, Princess Gaoyang nodded to Ma Zhou and sat down next to Wu Meiniang.
Ma Zhou coughed lightly, knocked on the gavel tree, and asked Changsun Wen: "You will tell me first what happened today. But I am warning you that there were many witnesses at the time, so I will not believe you." If you tell a one-sided story, we will definitely investigate and investigate you afterwards. If we find that there are any pretentious and deceptive words in your confession, we will definitely punish you severely!"
Changsun Wen is also a bachelor. As Ma Zhou said, there were too many witnesses to what happened today, and it is impossible to tell nonsense. Otherwise, people will know everything immediately after a little investigation, and lying is completely meaningless.
