MTL - Delicate Beauty Becomes the Beloved of Four Brothers After Her Rebirth!-Chapter 285 who is lying

  Chapter 285 Who is lying

  Xie Xingyun lowered his eyes slightly, walked around a few people, and stood beside Bai Xianyu.

  When Bai Tanshen and the others saw this, they also walked to her side.

  Lu Xi gritted her teeth and cursed a few words in a low voice, but the loud wind on the tower completely covered her voice.

   After a long silence, some spectators also sensed some danger. Concubine An frowned and said in a low voice, "Ning'er, what are you doing?"

The words were full of warnings, but Li Changning turned a deaf ear to them, "Mother Concubine, Erchen is just telling the truth. There are two floors inside. Sister Xianyu still has a picture. It was Erchen who was in front of the father just now." The face was torn apart, but the father was not informed, the minister felt that this was not good, so he rushed to make up for it."

   Concubine An could not be clear about her thoughts, but she was afraid that a fire at the city gate would harm the fish in the pond!

   Now that Concubine Xu is favored, the emperor has not been to her for a long time, if the emperor blamed her for this matter, wouldn't it make Concubine Xu even more proud!

   "What's the matter with this painting?" Emperor Wu Xuan's gaze swept over them sharply, and finally fell on Bai Xianyu.

  Bai Xianyu looked calm, "Your Majesty, I don't know why the box has two layers, and I don't know how the princess discovered it by such a coincidence."

Seeing her pretending not to know anything, Li Changning sneered, "I found something abnormal when I opened your box, so I went to find the things you sent me, otherwise I wouldn't have found it, what, This box was presented by you, not by me, could it be that I made two layers for you?"

"Your Majesty only made one painting. If your Majesty made two paintings, I will definitely tell you when His Majesty asks me. Otherwise, wouldn't you be committing the crime of deceiving the King? If it is true, what you said, the princess Yes, it was a surprise, the court lady should have said it, why did she cover it up and make two layers of mystery?"

  Bai Xianyu's tone was calm and steady, showing no sign of being anxious. Such a calm demeanor made Emperor Wu Xuan frowned.

  Li Changning still wanted to speak, but Bai Xianyu took the words, "Dare to ask the princess, how did this brocade box get into your hands?"

   Li Changning's eyes flashed subtly when she asked her this question.

   This brocade box was taken from Qiaoer.

  But Qiaoer, a maid, how did she get in the place where the gifts sent by everyone are stored?

   It is absolutely impossible to go in openly, but if she goes in secretly...

"Your Majesty, when my servant was walking on the tower, I happened to see someone knock over the window in the hall and take out my servant's box from the window. The servant was surprised, so she asked the guards to follow her, and happened to bump into the person who was about to Give the box to Princess Seven."

  Bai Xianyu said lightly: "So, dare to ask Princess Seven, if you want to know if there is a mechanism in the box, why don't you go get it yourself and let the **** open the door directly, but send someone to sneak out?"

  Li Changning had an ominous premonition in his heart, and his eyes towards Bai Xianyu gradually became ruthless, "You saw it when you said you saw it, who can testify?"

   "Look for the eunuchs guarding the gate and ask them. If the brocade box in the princess's hand is real, and they haven't seen the princess before, wouldn't they be able to prove that what the court lady said is true?"

   It wasn't for people to open the door to get it directly, and Li Changning insisted that this was what Bai Xianyu sent up, so the only option left was to steal it.

  As for why they want to steal it out... Everyone has different ideas.

"However, there is a second possibility." Bai Xianyu smiled and stood in front of Li Changning, "That is the thing in the princess's hand, it is not from me, but a fake, but anyway, this The box lady has already been sent out, and now it appears in the hands of the Seventh Princess for no apparent reason, if someone tampers with it, it is not out of the question."

  Emperor Wu Xuan glared at Li Changning, clenched his teeth, and shouted: "Come on, bring all the guarding eunuchs to me!"

  A team of imperial guards quickly ran over and knelt down, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Changning's head was a little fuzzy, but he still didn't let go, "Father, there is also a pair of gemstones painted inside, and the gemstones are clearly written by Bai Xianyu. Besides Bai Xianyu, who else can make such a painting?" !"

   "Your Majesty." Bai Xianyu replied casually: "The double lotus painting by the courtier's daughter means that the emperor and queen will have a good marriage for a hundred years, and this gemstone is a kind of peony, which is also a flower. Wouldn't it be unnecessary for the courtier's daughter to draw more than one?"

  Li Changning was in a hurry, and said sharply: "You are not doing anything superfluous, you clearly have ulterior motives!"

Bai Xianyu laughed, "Princess, you want Your Majesty to see my paintings so much. When you first opened the brocade box, you were very excited. Now that the lantern feast is almost over, you take my box away again." When I came to His Majesty and showed His Majesty the so-called second painting I drew, I am curious as to what is so special about this gemstone, and I wonder if the princess can explain it to me."

   Speaking of this, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Li Changning.

   Constantly whispering.

   "Yeah, what's so special about this gemstone? I want to know too."

   "This box is out of hand, it is possible if it is repackaged, it depends on what the **** guarding over there said."

   "I think Bai Xianyu is innocent. Who in this capital doesn't know that the Seventh Princess has a deep love for Xie Xingyun. Bai Xianyu is engaged to him just like that. She will definitely not let her go easily."

   "..."

The faint voice reached Concubine An's ears, and her face immediately changed. She stepped forward and looked down at Li Changning, "Ning'er, did you drink too much fruit wine? If you feel unwell, you should leave earlier! "

  Although Li Changning was not reconciled, she was too blocked to speak. She said unwillingly, "Yes..."

"Snapped!"

   Loud slaps resounded through the tower!

  Li Changning stared blankly at the man in front of him, and asked in a daze, "Father?"

  Emperor Wu Xuan withdrew his hand coldly, with no emotion on his face, "Wait! Whoever dares to leave now will get out of Da Kui tomorrow!"

   Among them, Li Changning was naturally included.

   There was a moment of silence.

  Those who had speculated about the reason for the gem orb just now also stopped talking and retreated silently.

   It is incredible that the emperor can say such a thing.

   Not to mention the important court officials present, there are also concubines, princes and princesses. If it is true that according to what Emperor Wu Xuan said, whoever leaves early will be expelled from Da Kui.

  Li Changning was really scared, she swallowed her saliva, and hid behind Concubine An, "Mother Concubine..."

   Concubine An was about to be driven crazy by Li Changning. In order to deal with Bai Xianyu, she dared to use Yingluo orbs to provoke her father!

   I'm so tired of living!

  When Bai Xianyu saw the painting they replaced, he was also puzzled.

  Why all flowers can be used, but gemstones are not? Emperor Wuxuan was so evasive, but it was just a painting, not the real thing, so he was so angry, what was hidden in it.

While they were guessing in their hearts, Princess Jing'an was uncharacteristically silent. Her eyes kept falling on the pair of extremely flourishing gemstones, she stopped for a while and then moved away. glance.

   I don’t know how long it has been since I saw Yingluo orbs.

   I didn't expect to see you in this way.

   Soon, the guards came with the **** guarding the gate.

   "Slave pays homage to the emperor and queen!"

  The soles of the eunuchs felt weak, and they knelt on the ground without knowing why.

  Emperor Wu Xuan said indifferently: "I will ask you, if you dare to lie, tomorrow will be your death day."

   "The slave will never dare to lie to the emperor! The slave must know everything and say everything!"

   "The slave is loyal to the emperor! How dare you deceive the emperor!"

  Li Changning knew she was afraid now, she knew how much Emperor Wu Xuan avoided Yingluo orbs, that's why she wanted to kill Bai Xianyu, but now it fell on her, how could she not be afraid?

  She grabbed Concubine An's sleeve tightly and cried softly: "Mother Concubine, please help me!"

Concubine An reprimanded in a low voice: "Worry girl, you forgot what I told you last time? If you want you not to provoke her, you still provoke her. Now that the trouble is like this, why don't I come and end it for you?" !"

   "The concubine mother will surely comfort the imperial father, right? The imperial father loves the imperial concubine mother so much." Li Changning's heart dropped slightly, but for some reason, his heart was still shivering.

Seeing her frightened look, Concubine An couldn't bear it after all, and said in a soft voice: "You just need to admit your mistake later, your father sent a concubine down because of Ying Luo Baozhu last time, but that concubine's family has already disappeared. , was executed, but your grandfather’s family is still powerful, and the mother and concubine have raised children for him, and are in charge of the Six Palaces, so your father will not do anything to you."

  Li Changning nodded, like a chicken pecking at rice.

   "At most, it's just a few reprimands, and then you will be locked up for a few days."

  Li Changning can accept this kind of punishment. Anyway, since she and Bai Xianyu did not get along with each other, she was often punished for confinement, and it was all related to her!

  Emperor Wu Xuan pointed to the box in the hands of the palace man and asked, "Do you remember this brocade box?"

  The eunuchs raised their heads, only took a look, and then they were speechless in surprise. They didn't know what to say for a moment, and they froze there!

"explain!"

"Yes, yes!" The leading **** began to slap himself, "Your Majesty, it's all the servant's fault. The servant left for a while just because of something. I didn't expect these two little **** to doze off, and I don't know who stole it from inside." come out!"

What he said was filled with righteous indignation, and the movement of slapping his hands was also unstoppable, with each one getting heavier and louder, "This is a gift from Miss Bai, the slave has always remembered it, so the unique box can be remembered at a glance , I hope His Majesty will deal with it lightly, this slave is willing to accept the punishment!"

  Li Changning winked at them crazily, but the eunuchs had no choice but to pin their hearts to their waistbands, so they didn't even notice.

  Emperor Wu Xuan asked again: "Are you sure it was stolen?"

"It must have been the thief who saw the two little **** dozing off before they stole it! If someone comes, the servant will let them register. The things inside are all treasures sent by the adults. How could the servant do so casually?" let people in!"

  The **** quickly excused himself.

  Every time he said a word, Li Changning's face darkened.

  Everyone present also understood.

   This thing was really stolen by someone sent by Li Changning!

   What does it mean to steal something? It means guilty conscience! It means that there must be some secrets that cannot be known.

  And a little bit of connection with what Li Changning said just now, and her impatient look, many smart people have already seen what's going on.

  Emperor Wu Xuan asked clearly, and these eunuchs were dragged down and beat dozens of boards, and stools and boards were set up on the tower, and the sound of heavy boards falling on people resounded on the tower! It brought up an echo again, and spread it far away, accompanied by the eunuch's shrill and miserable cry, which was particularly penetrating.

   After beating these eunuchs, Emperor Wu Xuan turned his gaze to Li Changning. He glanced at the person hiding behind Concubine An, and the anger in his eyes increased instead of diminishing!

   Concubine An quickly stood up, she could see that Emperor Wu Xuan was angry, but she had been in bed with him for so long, and she had come all the way, so she would definitely give her some face.

"Your Majesty, Ning'er is ignorant. She said that she happened to bump into the maid who stole the box, and the two paintings in the box fell out. There was a misunderstanding, Your Majesty..."

  Emperor Wu Xuan heard her talk for a long time, but his face was always tense, like a volcano about to erupt, and everyone dared not raise their heads, for fear of being affected by such waves of fire.

Concubine An's voice was not loud, but the surroundings were too quiet, only the people under the city tower were still celebrating the Lantern Festival, but the vague voice from below did not weaken Concubine An's voice, her words were like It is ringing in everyone's ears.

"Ning'er, come here and apologize to your father, and Xianyu, Xianyu came to have a good feast, but you made such a fuss that your father almost misunderstood her, luckily it was not too late. "

Li Changning walked out from behind Concubine An, bent down, and made the most respectful gesture, "Father, it's my minister who was reckless, and I will definitely correct it. If Father wants to punish me, then go ahead and punish me. Ning'er is not good."

  She directly ignored the sentence of apologizing to Bai Xianyu.

  Xie Xingyun pulled his lips, his tone was cold, "It's gone?"

  Li Changning was startled suddenly, tears quickly filled his eyes, "Cousin."

  Xie Xingyun glanced at her expressionlessly, and looked away, except for the cold and alienated eyes, there was nothing else in the eyes.

   But Li Changning knew that he didn't look at Bai Xianyu like this!

Bai Xianyu met Li Changning's gaze, and Li Changning had no choice but to apologize to her under the gaze of so many eyes, "I'm sorry, sister Xianyu, it's my fault, I shouldn't have listened to the words of that lowly servant girl and been treated as a gun Shi, sister Xianyu is considerate, so she won't blame me, right?"

  Bai Xianyu smiled at her, but did not answer, only saluted.

  Li Changning clenched his fists secretly, and looked at Emperor Wu Xuan again, "Father, can you forgive me now?"

  Emperor Wu Xuan's eyes were colder than ever before, "Forgive you?"
