Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Princess Qixia's face.
Even though she was covered with a veil, she could still see her cool and graceful beauty. She was about eighteen or nineteen years old. From the moment she entered the palace, she stood behind Prince Dugu, her eyes lowered, and she never let go of the child's hand.
The queen looked at her and smiled with admiration: "Princess Mobei has such a beautiful figure. Just standing there quietly, she has the aura of 'as quiet as an orchid, as silent as a lotus'. This is the first time for me to do so." Seeing such a woman."
Princess Qixia lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you very much, Queen, for the compliment. Yuxi is not worthy of it."
"Qi Jin, do you know this princess?" Emperor Mu asked.
Qi Jin shook his head: "I said three days ago that I was kidnapped by the prince of Mobei. Dugu Yinyun drugged me. While I was in Mobei, I was trapped in an abandoned yard by him and could not be seen at all. To outsiders.”
Dugu Yinyun's expression froze slightly. He didn't expect Qi Jin to be so unafraid of embarrassment that he would reveal things that were unknown to the public three years ago.
Did he really not care about his own face, nor the face of his father, Marquis Zhongyi, and the eldest princess?
He slowly turned his head and looked at Qi Jin: "Prince Qi said that I have imprisoned you? Are you kidding me? What is the purpose of my prince imprisoning you? To play with cut sleeves? Although Prince Qi is quite handsome. ,but--"
"Brother Imperial." Princess Qixia suddenly spoke, her tone neither high nor low, and she interrupted him calmly, "You have said enough, it's my turn."
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
The woman's voice is undoubtedly very beautiful, like clear music, and like the first melting ice and snow, with a clean and ethereal air.
Everyone fell silent, and their whispers stopped abruptly. Their eyes fell on the princess invariably.
Dugu Yinyun seemed unhappy to be interrupted, but this person was his sister, the princess of the Mobei royal family.
Thinking of the reason for coming to Chu State this time, he felt that there was nothing he could not bear, so he turned around and made way aside, signaling Princess Qixia to come forward and speak.
But the look she looked at Princess Qixia contained a hint of warning.
Princess Qixia ignored it, took the child's hand and walked a few steps forward, gracefully curtsied to Emperor Mu, then turned to look at Qi Jin: "Prince Qi, can you stand next to me?"
Qi Jin looked cold and silent.
"Qi Jin." Rong Cang said.
Qi Jin pursed his lips and reluctantly walked to stand beside Princess Qixia, facing the emperor with her.
And for some reason, Rong Cang suddenly took a few steps towards the child, as if he was looking at him from close range, but in fact, he directly used his body to separate the distance between Dugu Yinyun and the child, making them completely out of reach.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Chu." Princess Qixia bowed slightly, "The child I brought is my son, and indeed the child of Prince Qi."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar again.
Grand Tutor Qin narrowed his eyes and finally spoke: "Prince Qi, what else can you say?"
"I haven't finished speaking yet. What does this old gentleman want to prove so eagerly?" Princess Qixia looked at Taifu Qin coldly, with a cold light in her eyes. "Do you know the truth? Were you there at the time? Did you see it with your own eyes?" Did you see the process?"
Probably because her tone was too aggressive, Master Qin's face turned red when he was blocked, and he couldn't get off the stage because of his age: "You——"
"Yuxi." Dugu Yinyun heard that her tone was wrong and warned with a stern face, "Why are you talking to the adults of Chu State? Do you still have any rules?"
Princess Qixia ignored him, turned to look at Emperor Mu in front of her, and said calmly: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Chu, this child is indeed Qi Jin's child, but he doesn't know it himself."
Not aware?
All the officials of Chu State were surprised and began to whisper among themselves again.
Dugu Yinyun's expression changed: "Yuxi, what are you talking about?"
Emperor Mu and the Queen looked at each other, and then both looked at Princess Qixia. The Queen smiled solemnly and said, "Princess, please elaborate."
"What Prince Qi said is true." Princess Qixia always lowered her eyes to the ground, her voice was as calm as water, "I don't know where I saw the portrait of Prince Qi three years ago. He deceived him to the border, then set up an ambush and kidnapped him, hoping to use him as a slut. At that time, Prince Qi was younger and more flamboyant than now. He liked to wear white clothes and looked like a fairy, making people happy to see him. But although the young man He is simple, but after all, he comes from a family of military commanders and has a very fierce temper. He regards the emperor's brother as an enemy, but the emperor's brother has never succeeded."
"Dugu Yuxi, what are you talking about?" Dugu Yinyun looked angry and raised his hand to use force on her, "Did you take the wrong medicine or are you still unconscious?"
However, as soon as he started, he was stopped by Qi Jin: "Prince Dugu, this is the Imperial Palace of Chu. You have no right to use violence against anyone."
"Yuxi, don't forget your identity and responsibilities!" Dugu Yinyun hissed coldly, "You came to Chu State for the purpose of marriage. If you dare to destroy all this, I will tear you alive!"
Princess Qixia did not move, and her expression and eyes did not change at all. She just lowered her eyes slightly and continued: "Brother Huang has ulterior motives for Prince Qi. He repeatedly forced Prince Qi to submit. Although Prince Qi was isolated at that time, He was helpless, but had a strong temper, and would rather die than obey. After several consecutive failures, the emperor's brother drugged Qi Shizi. The medicine was very strong. When mixed with liquor, the effect was so strong that people could not bear it. It could only be used in a specific way. Remove the effects of the medicine.”
Qi Jin clenched his hands little by little, and vaguely recalled the feeling of pain that was so painful that he almost exploded and collapsed, and the hatred in his heart came like an overwhelming ocean.
"When I learned about this, I urgently ordered my confidants to set a fire in the imperial brother's study, and then hurriedly led him out of the other courtyard." Princess Qixia calmly recounted the events of that year, her tone calm and indifferent, like a A bystander who stayed away from the incident said, "That time I had an intimate relationship with Prince Qi. I detoxified him. Because the drug was too powerful, he and I both fainted and fell unconscious afterwards."
"Dugu Yuxi!" Dugu Yinyun screamed, "You were really the one who set the fire back then? You are so brave! Do you know how many important things you have burned of mine?"
"Prince Dugu." Emperor Mu frowned and looked at Dugu Yinyun coldly, "Please pay attention to your demeanor."
