Marchioness Brothel - Chapter 114

The young ladies were sitting in the lake pavilion. The lake pavilion was entirely of stone and wood, covered with thin green tiles, lying on the lake. At night, the surrounding sparkles sparkled, illuminating the red lanterns hanging on the willow trees on the shore, and a light golden crescent moon reflected in the sky, giving it a unique charm. When the breeze passed, the scent of fragrance refreshed one’s heart, and the long singing from the distant shore made one’s heart fascinating.

He Lianhui sits among a group of pink powder, with clear eyes like two moving springs, a small face with melon seeds, and her skin is a little unhealthy, but she looks just fine with her already delicate temperament. Although the surrounding beauty is like a cloud, she is also unique and looks exceptionally pure and pleasant.

“I just found a picture of a seclusion in Nanshan, and I would like to ask sisters to taste one or two for me.” After she said, she told her maid to take the scroll and slowly spread it out in front of everyone, her smile becoming more tactful and lovely.

The painting is a picture of pastoral life. It was when the sun was rising in the morning, the earth was filled with a fresh and tranquil atmosphere. A house on a hill, around the house is a vegetable garden, fenced as a gate, and a pond outside the gate. Flowers and trees linger in front of the house. On the east side of the house is the garden, with smiling faces blooming in flowers of various colors, a butterfly is about to fly and stop by the side of the flowers, and there seems to be a little morning dew on its wings.

“Nanshan secluded picture…could it be a painting by Master Chao?! No, this painting has been lost for more than sixty years, how did you get it?” A strange color floated on An Xiaoshao’s face.

An Xiaoshao’s eyebrows are curving, she is eager to fly, she is slender but thin and unobtrusive. His makeup and clothing are very elegant, with stunning qualities, and the beauty of a shameless flower. She was gifted and intelligent since she was a child. She never forgets her reading, and her poems are spread out and praised by others. She is the number one talented woman in the Great Week. However, the most striking thing about her is not her beautiful appearance or outstanding talent, but her noble background. She is the niece of Empress An’s pros and cons, and her father served as the official secretary of the officials and the bachelor of Chongyang Temple, and later inherited the title of Duke Dingguo.

An Xiaoshao grew up with the queen, and was loved and appreciated by the emperor’s husband and wife. She is even more gentle and generous, with a very good temperament. Because a woman is not allowed to participate in scientific examinations, she organizes the books she has read over the years and compiles a notebook in five years, including astronomy, history, Geography, Buddhism, Shushu and even Xuanhuang art, etc. After the emperor read it, Long Xin rejoiced, and ordered her to enter the Hongwen Hall as a female scholar to participate in the compilation of history books by the Confucian scholars. This glory was immediately envied by everyone. , Can be said to be the first person today.

Seeing An Xiaoshao, who had always been calm and amiable, looked at each other with admiration. Helian smiled shyly between Hui’s eyebrows and her eyebrows: “I found this painting in an antique shop after two years of searching for it. The shopkeeper lived and died. Refusing to sell, I ran seven or eight times in a row, only begging him to sell it to me.”

An Xiaoshao’s eyebrows were painted faintly, and a pair of Qiushui eyes seemed to sparkle, and she sighed: “I have been looking for this painting for a long time. I didn’t expect to see it here today. It’s really rare.” Then, she stretched out her hand to take the scroll gently, and looked at it seriously, her eyes cherishing extremely.

While An Xiaoshao was looking at the painting, Sun Guiwan, the eldest of Wen’an Houfu, suddenly smiled and said: “Your eldest sister will not come out to see guests when she is a monk. Why not invite Princess Mingyue here? Sit down.”

He Lianhui stunned, her face turned a bit silly: “Xiaolou, she doesn’t like to socialize with people on weekdays. Today is a stranger. I’m afraid she will be uncomfortable.”

“Oh, I don’t like to associate with people, is it a weird temper?” Sun Guiwan blinked his eyes and asked with a smile.

The golden hairpin on He Lianhui’s head shed a dazzling light under the moonlight, but his face turned pale, and he quickly explained: “Miss Sun, don’t get me wrong, Xiaolou is not such a person.”

“I just looked at a beauty from a distance. I haven’t seen it closely, and I don’t know how to talk and behave. It can be commensurate–” Sun Guiwan became more and more curious, hoping that He Lianhui would immediately invite Jiang Xiaolou to come over. .

Although Sun Guiwan was outspoken, he was always liked, and everyone nodded and said yes. The pavilion was making a noise, and suddenly a person laughed softly: “Jiang Xiaolou is late, please forgive me.”

Everyone was shocked, looking up, and seeing a beautiful person standing in front of them. A face is shining and translucent, and the eyes are as clear as crystals, like a faint green lotus, stretch out a beautiful figure under the moon. Originally an extremely calm appearance, a pair of shining eyes seemed to be three-point enchanting. After she appeared, the streamer of amber, the ring of jade, the jade cup, the beautiful ladies, and even the bright moonlight suddenly became her background, with only rippling ripples. No one will pay attention anymore.

He Lianhui’s heart trembled. The wine glass she was holding fell over instantly, causing Miss Zhan Shifu Yang Yinglian, who was next to her, to exclaim. She didn’t care at all, but quickly stood up and said, “Xiaolou, you are here.”

Jiang Xiaolou still smiled, slowly stepping into the pavilion.

Everyone looked at it, and only felt that the faint moonlight and the swaying waves were all engulfed in her eyes, but it always seemed to be separated by a thin layer of veil, making people unable to see her happiness and anger. I don’t know how to say hello for a while. Only Sun Guiwan stood up grinning and took the initiative to take the arm of Jiang Xiaolou: “Today is the first time we met. I am from Wen’an Houfu. My name is Sun Guiwan. I only heard of your name. Today It can be regarded as seeing a real person.”

He didn’t know each other, but he looked warm. Jiang Xiaolou’s faint gaze swept across He Lianhui, with a deeper smile on his face, and he just walked over with her: “What did you guys say so happy just now?”

He Lianhui coughed slightly, got up and let her sit down.

Jiang Xiaolou stood there without moving. He Lianhui seemed to be more polite and humble in front of everyone, but if she took the seat, it would be more like a distraction. Sun Guiwan’s eyes wandered, and she smiled and said, “Sit next to me.” After speaking, he pulled Jiang Xiaolou and sat down next to him.

He Lianhui breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back down again.

Jiang Xiaolou looked at the eyes of everyone curiously, just quietly holding up a cup of tea, his eyes drooping slightly, looking at the clear water and green leaves in the tea cup, he only smelled the tea in the nose, and took a sip. It is refreshing and cleanses the dust.

An Xiaoshao was still holding the painting in her hand, looking like she couldn’t put it down, she couldn’t bear to lift her head. An Xiaoshao was tasting, but suddenly felt quiet in the pavilion. As soon as he looked up, he saw Jiang Xiaolou sitting opposite to him, with a faint smile on his face, and he couldn’t help but spread the painting “Look, this is a treasure specially collected by Yunzhu Princess. It is a painting by the former master Chaozong. Chaozong was a first-rate painting master in the former Dynasty, but when he died, all the manuscripts were burned by his wife, so The ones left in the world are extremely rare.”

He Lianhui finally dyed a smile on her face: “I did look for this painting for a long time, and I plan to give it to my father as a birthday gift. Xiaolou, I heard that you are also good at authenticating antique paintings. Can you tell me the authenticity?” That’s what she said, but her tone couldn’t conceal a trace of complacency. If it weren’t authentic, how could she show her ugliness.

An Xiaoshao smiled and said: “The master of the Dynasty was an imperial envoy to Jianzhou in his early years, and his painting style was bright and fierce. But in the middle of his life, because of poor official career, he resigned and returned to hermit. , Flowers, birds, fish and insects. Looking at the brushwork and style of this painting, it should be undoubtedly the legacy of the Dynasty. And this ink is the most favorite Xiangyun ink of the Dynasty. After many years, it still has a faint fragrance of ink. From the perspective of the postscript, the seal should also be authentic.”

Sun Guiwan smiled softly in his eyes: “There are only one or two paintings of Master Chao, and I must have paid a lot of money to get it.”

He Lianhui smiled softly: “Money is a trivial matter, the key master is rare.”

After all, An Xiaoshao reluctantly handed the painting over. Jiang Xiaolou’s gaze slowly slipped over, and a sleeve of his sleeve showed thin white fingers like green onions, which looked as white as jade under the moon, making people unable to look away. Her tone is also extremely light and shallow, as if a gust of wind blows away: “It really is a good painting.”

She was born extremely beautiful, beautiful and exquisite, with exquisite features. At first glance, she looks like a picture, but when she looks at it, she feels unique, and her smile is full of charm. It’s a pity that she didn’t participate in such banquets before, and she acted very low-key. She never heard a word. Other than knowing that she was of humble origin and was the newly-accepted daughter of Princess Qing, there was no other news.

He Lianhui also stared at Jiang Xiaolou’s plain white fingers holding up the scroll, blinking lightly, leaning over her body, and asking softly: “Look, are the butterflies on this lifelike?” She just used it. His body blocked everyone’s sight, and he stretched out his hand to pull the painting out of the opponent’s hand. Jiang Xiaolou was about to avoid it, but he heard a sound of “heap”, and the whole painting was torn in half like a good brocade.

Everyone was stunned for an instant, and He Lianhui’s smile suddenly froze, and her voice trembled: “Xiaolou, how can you…” She seemed to have consciously lost words, and immediately covered her mouth. Under the moonlight, her expression looked pitiful, and her eyes were filled with tears, “I found this painting so easily and wanted to give it to my father as a birthday gift. Now how can I explain to him——”

When everyone was shocked, their expressions when they looked at Jiang Xiaolou also became very strange.

“If you have a problem with Princess Yunzhu, you can close the door and teach, why use the treasure to spoil it.” Seeing such a good painting ruined, An Xiaoshao almost fainted, and she couldn’t control her voice. The surprised voice has completely lost its former calmness, and has become thin as a knife, “Do you know how precious this master’s painting is…” “Kuang has a good skin bag, I didn’t expect it to be this inferior, dirty woman!” Zhou Susu, a daughter of General Pengcheng’s Mansion, couldn’t help but sneered coldly, and the ivory fan in his hand was actually tightened.

An Xiaoshao and others are the leaders of the Miss Jingzhong. If you lose your share in front of them, you will never want to establish a foothold in Beijing in the future. Fluttershy watched carefully from behind, it was clear that He Lianhui deliberately grabbed the painting, and it would be destroyed only when she pulled it. She stepped forward and couldn’t help but said: “Princess Yunzhu, it’s obviously you!”

He Lianhui’s delicate face immediately stained with tears: “It’s all my discomfort, which shocked everyone.”

An Xiaoshao frowned and said sternly, “You found this painting after all the hard work, but it was destroyed in public. There should be someone else who should apologize!” Her eyes scratched like a knife. If the face of Guo Jiang Xiaolou is changed for courage, I am afraid that he will cry on the spot.

Everyone looked at Jiang Xiaolou displeased. If she didn’t give a reasonable explanation, no one would post to her in her life. Excluded by the ladies of the capital, Princess Qing knew she was going to faint. In the eyes of everyone condemning, Jiang Xiaolou just glanced at everyone, and said unhurriedly: “It’s just a fake, why are you so nervous.”

“What? A fake!”

Everyone’s eyes were staring, Helianhui’s heart jumped wildly, and he quickly said: “Xiaolou, this is the real thing! After all, it is my thing. We are all a family. If I break it, I won’t call you. Compensation, you can’t just say it is—”

“If a good authentic piece is destroyed, it will be destroyed. Just apologize. None of us will cling to your mistakes, and even dare to say that it is a fake. This kind of character is really bad to the extreme!” Zhou Susu suddenly Standing up, his white face flushed with anger, he obviously hated the villain who shirked responsibility. Saying these words as her lady, it can be seen that she is very angry.

Everyone sneered and watched the play. Jiang Xiaolou gently picked up the torn in half of the painting on the ground, with a very calm smile on his face: “The brushstroke of this painting is thin and bony, and the colors are bold and unrestrained. Compared with the works of Chaozong masters in the late period of love for the landscape , Completely lost to calm nature.”

An Xiaoshao and Dai’s eyebrows lightly frowned, and she couldn’t help but argued: “Master Chao did have a love for the landscape in his later years. The style of painting is close to nature, but when everyone paints, his mood will affect the style of painting. Changes can’t prove anything. Besides, there are five kinds of seals on the paintings, which have been recorded in detail in past classics. Regarding the identification of seals, I will definitely not mistake it.”

All of them are famous daughters, and they have never been so tit-for-tat. Once An Xiaoshao takes a firm stand, everyone will gather and attack, because all the ladies are looking forward to the Anfu’s daughters, and Jiang Xiaolou will become the target of public criticism. Even if she is just an unintentional mistake, it will become a heinous crime. In particular, An Xiaoshao has a mild temperament on weekdays, but when she insists on her position, she is absolutely unambiguous. There was once a bachelor’s house daughter who was kicked out of the Beijing social circle because of her taboo, and went back to her hometown in a dingy manner. , It can be seen that An Xiaoshao has great influence among the people. Now that Jiang Xiaolou had made a mistake, he was looking for excuses in every possible way. It would be too embarrassing for the scene to be up to this point.

Sun Guiwan coughed: “Okay, let’s expose the matter now. Today we are all coming to visit, so why bother so ugly. Princess Mingyue, it’s not enough for you to pay Yunzhu, you are so stubborn. How should others think of you?”

He Lianhui bit her teeth lightly, and her white face was very embarrassing and authentic: “You must not embarrass Xiaolou, she is really not sincere…” The more modest and tolerant she is here, the more it contrasts with Jiang Xiaolou’s meanness and indifference. .

“Jiang Xiaolou, it’s rare that Princess Yunzhu knows the righteousness so well, so she doesn’t have to apologize quickly.” Zhou Susu’s expression was cold and honest. She has always been on good terms with He Lianhui, and of course she doesn’t look down on Jiang Xiaolou, so her attitude is good. The style can be considered aggressive.

Jiang Xiaolou didn’t even look at her. He just wrote lightly: “Please take a closer look at this painting. The poem on the inscription says the five words for the friend Jiang Ningyuan.”

“It’s not surprising, because this is a painting for a friend.” An Xiaoshao said without hesitation, she is a current talented woman, of course it is impossible to make a mistake.

Jiang Xiaolou shook his head slightly: “Jiang Ningyuan was indeed a friend of the Chaozong Master in his early years, but when the Chaozong Master was 30 years old, the two had conflicts due to different political theories. Since then, the Chaozong Master has avoided meeting, Jiang Ningyuan said I was turned away from the door every time I visited. How did Master Chaozong forgive him in his later years?”

“When people are young, they are arrogant and stubborn, and they are likely to change their minds when they are old, not to mention that the two of them still have past friendship.” An Xiaoshao looked very serious.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaolou smiled unconsciously: “If only political opinions are different, Jiang Ningyuan also sold the paintings given to him by the Chaozong master at a high price to Yan Lin, the corrupt official who once framed the Chaozong and even exiled him. The true morality and justice are placed on both sides, and the good words are placed in the middle. How can a great master like Chaozong forgive such a perfidious friend?”

“Since it is impossible for him to paint this painting for Jiang Ningyuan, then this painting may be a real fake.” Sun Guiwan was taken aback and couldn’t help but speak.

Everyone was speechless for a while, and He Lianhui was even more pale. She never thought that Jiang Xiaolou had the ability to identify. To be honest, they underestimated Jiang Xiaolou. She drove an antique shop, so how could she not understand the identification of paintings, let alone read a lot of books, especially like those wild history, these stories are simply easy to come by. Hearing this, An Xiaoshao suddenly heard that she seemed to have seen such a record in a travel note many years ago, and her complexion was slightly flushed. She was too excited to find the authentic dynasty, and she even gave this most important point. Forgot, but…

“Everything you say is speculation. This painting may not be a fake.”

“Miss Ann is right. All this is just my conjecture, but the original works are kept in my antique shop. Because there are prices and no market and they cannot be sold, how can I admit wrong? It’s just that the original works are not given to someone Words like people…” Jiang Xiaolou was calm, but his gentle words were like a sharp blade, which made He Lianhui more anxious.

An Xiaoshao’s face suddenly became a little bit ridiculous. If this was a fake, Jiang Xiaolou would not have to tear it up. It seemed that this was really a misunderstanding. Thinking of the tit-for-tat just now, she was a little bit unable to get off the stage, her red lips opened and closed, and she seemed dumb.

Jiang Xiaolou saw the other’s embarrassment in his eyes, but smiled with relief: “Nowadays everyone only knows that paintings are sold at high prices, but it is Ye Gong and good dragons. There are fewer and fewer people cherishing ancient paintings like Miss An,” she said. If you look at He Lianhui seemingly, the smile becomes deeper, “Ms. An is so indignant for a painting that does not belong to her. It is all from the public heart. Xiaolou admires it very much. If you are sincere I like this painting, the authentic painting of the Chaozong master in my shop, I will send it to you tomorrow.”

An Xiaoshao’s heart was overjoyed, her face suddenly became redder, and he hesitated and said, “What a shame, I just misunderstood you.”

Jiang Xiaolou smiled more and more kindly on his face: “If you don’t know each other, this is also fate. Miss don’t worry about it. Xiaolou is just a businessman. With a little appraisal skill, he is here to speak out. If I don’t have authenticity in hand, I’m afraid The more I talk about it, the more guilty I am, and it’s rare that the lady doesn’t care about it. As for that painting…Only people who really understand it in this world deserve to have it. I’m looking for a master who can match it.”

Jiang Xiaolou was so generous and tolerant, everyone also changed their views on her. Seeing that the other party was generous and not stingy, they couldn’t help but become affectionate to her, but put He Lianhui aside. He Lianhui saw this situation, her pretty face became more ugly. Before, she felt Jiang Xiaolou’s defense against herself, so she made up her mind not to let Jiang Xiaolou stand firm. Unexpectedly, today’s play has elevated the other’s reputation. She was hated and angry for a while, but heard Jiang Xiaolou laugh and say: “Princess Yunzhu, it’s windy here. You should go back earlier. It’s cold.”

An Xiaoshao nodded as soon as she heard the words, and Cong Shanru said, “Yes, Yunzhu, you are not in good health, so let’s go back earlier.”

He Lianhui gritted her teeth, her lips faintly pale, and smiled reluctantly: “It’s not a problem, I’ll just sit here.”

An Xiao Shao Zhuyu was in front, Jiang Xiaolou did not show off his talents at all. Instead, he picked some interesting things in the travel notes. Several young ladies were very curious about her, and she kept asking questions. She was also very patient. , But won a lot of goodwill from everyone for a while.

An Xiaoshao nodded secretly. These young ladies are only reading for the occasion, but no one is really interested in books. In the past, everything she talked about was high and widowed, but Jiang Xiaolou’s speech and demeanor were very good and knowledgeable. It is very wide, especially she can say a word or two whenever she mentions it, without any sense of blockage, her conversation is humorous, her words are cordial, and not at all annoying. He is superior to her as a scholar; in terms of being a person, she is a little inferior. It is no wonder that the queen has to recommend herself several times, and she is really an outstanding person.

He Lianhui sat with him awkwardly, and was forgotten by everyone.

At this moment, the distance suddenly became noisy. A servant girl quickly stepped into the pavilion, and when she saw everyone sitting, she was slightly blessed, and she only said to Jiang Xiaolou: “Princess, the princess please hurry over, and princess An is here.”

Jiang Xiaolou stood up and smiled at everyone: “I’m really sorry, my mother is calling me, you guys sit for a while, I will go back.”

Everyone was listening, and said quickly: “Go and come back!”

He Lianhui saw Jiang Xiaolou stepping down the steps quickly, her eyes suddenly became deep, no, that’s right, Princess An had already said that she was unwell, and she didn’t visit the door herself today, why did she come again suddenly? Could this maid just use an excuse to cheat Jiang Xiaolou away? Yes, something must have happened in the inner house! Her eyes sank, she got up and said to the people: “I really have a headache when the wind blows. Let me rest for a while. Don’t be surprised–” She said to Zhou Susu, “Here… I beg you to help I take care of one or two.”

Zhou Susu knew that she was frail and sick, and had asthma. For fear of something wrong, she quickly said, “Go and rest. Don’t sit here. If you are sick tomorrow, it will be our fault. Don’t worry, this is not the first time. Guests coming to the palace, we will go to the dining room right away.”

He Lianhui apologized thousands of times and stepped down the steps, but he chased him straight in the direction where Jiang Xiaolou was leaving.

The masters of the palace are already standing in the garden, but their faces are blue and solemn. The prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince were also standing by, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. When King Qing saw Jiang Xiaolou with his maid, his expression was extremely gloomy: “Jiang Xiaolou, look at the good things your guard did!”

Jiang Xiaolou frowned slightly and glanced at him. Mo Yu sat down on the ground, crying bitterly, but Chu Han was disheveled, his face flushed, and his tightly closed eyes seemed to be resisting some kind of pain in his body. Presumably guessing what happened just now, Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes sank, and for a moment his warm eyes became extremely indifferent.

King Qing glanced at the prince and others behind him, unable to conceal the embarrassment on his face: “His Royal Highness, I am really sorry that I should let you see such a nasty thing…” He said that it seemed difficult to tell.

The prince’s gaze became condensed and his tone was serious: “Is this girl the actor that the prince said is about to be dedicated to the father?”

King Qing’s face turned blue and white, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, almost not knowing how to answer the Prince’s question. The emperor liked to listen to opera very much, and there were many young and beautiful female actors in the palace. When he was upset, he would call these actors to the partial hall to sing for him. That’s it. After a long time, everyone knew his hobby, so they quietly searched for the actor who had touched Deyi Shuangxin and sent him to the palace to accompany him. The emperor was called to relieve the emperor’s worries. Qing Wang was also making this idea.

If Mo Yu can be favored by the emperor, his grace will rise to the next level. Therefore, he had already reported this matter to the emperor in a hurry, and would send Mo Yu into the palace in three days. But the guard in front of him was stupid at the most critical point, and he openly hooked up with this Mo Yu in the garden, it was a death! If it was only discovered by oneself, it would be nothing more than an excuse to say that Moyu had died of a sudden illness, and it was not a big problem to cover up the past. The prince Pianpian and the two princes were both here today, and they were almost caught on the spot. Once this matter was exposed in front of the emperor, even King Qing couldn’t eat it and walked around: “This, this… Your Highness, it’s windy here, let’s go to the study to talk about it.”

The prince waved his hand and said with a cold expression: “If this woman is really going to be given to the emperor, then I can’t just sit idly by. Please ask King Qing to interrogate clearly in front of me. I will never allow anything. People give innocent women to the palace to deceive your Majesty!” According to the truth, the gift that King Qing was going to give to the emperor went wrong halfway, and it has nothing to do with the prince, but the guard is by Jiang Xiaolou’s side. People, when the prince’s heart moved, he made a ghostly and honestly.

King Qing’s face was ugly, He Liansheng couldn’t hide the corners of his mouth and sneered, and his face was cold and said: “Chu Han, do you know what mistakes you have committed, and dare to humiliate the girl Moyu who is about to enter the palace? You don’t think you can cut your head enough. Already, who gave you this courage?”

Jiang Xiaolou looked at the smug He Liansheng, but his face was calm.

The third prince Duguke saw this scene and his eyes sank slightly: “King Qing, this matter can be big or small. It’s not too late for you to interrogate carefully before making a decision. If this guard really touched his father’s things, he should be What a crime, Lord, you can’t know it better.”

Princess Qing said angrily: “Prince, based on Moyu’s one-sided remarks and no physical evidence, how can he buckle such a hat to an innocent guard? Chu Han has always been loyal and calm. He I have never done anything beyond duty in the mansion for so long!”

Jiang Xiaolou took everyone’s words into his ears, and instantly understood everything.

He Liansheng sneered and said in a deep voice: “Mother, I know that you love Princess Mingyue, Aiwu Jiwu is also partial to this guard, but in full view, you can’t ignore the truth. Girl Moyu, please take care of the matter. Tell the ins and outs carefully!”

Mo Yu bit her lower lip tightly, trembling all over, looking terribly frightened, Ai Ai could not speak.

Jiang Xiaolou didn’t look at her, his silent eyes only fell on Chu Han. At this moment, Chu Han obviously also understands that this matter is difficult to handle, but his bright eyes are full of anger. Jiang Xiaolou couldn’t help but remember that the first time he saw Chu Han, he was a happy quack, drinking and talking loudly, and he was so enjoyable! He can betray his face for innocent children, and willingly stand by his side in repaying the kindness of Liancheng. This was originally a hearty and happy person, but now he is standing in front of a group of powerful and powerful, accepting the scrutiny, contempt, and mocking eyes of these people. He could have been immune to this kind of humiliation, because no one could trap him, but now he must bear it all, just because he can’t cause trouble to Jiang Xiaolou. If Chu Han made any resistance or fleeing actions, it would only be regarded as a crime-fearing absconding, and Jiang Xiaolou, the master, would definitely bear the brunt of it.

He Liansheng took a closer look at the opponent, his eyes were extremely calm: “If you have any grievances, you may as well tell us all, if you insist on not speaking, then you have to bear the consequences—”

Mo Yu’s heart jumped due to his gloomy gaze, and he couldn’t help gritting his teeth: “It’s him, it’s him! I just saw the excitement outside, so I couldn’t help but quietly came out to look at it. He dropped the hairpin and asked the girl to go back. Take it, I’m waiting here. I’m so anxious that I’m very anxious and I’m going to get into the rockery… Who expected that he suddenly rushed over from nowhere, and actually hooked me She kissed her neck and pressed me to the ground, scaring me to the sky…Well, if the maid rushed back in time, I’m afraid that my innocence would be…” She was still dirty, and her tears fell like rain. The most aggrieved appearance.

When the prince saw this, his brows furrowed tighter, and his eyes swept to Chu Han coldly: “What Miss Mo Yu said is the truth?”

Chu Han shook his head vigorously. Just now, he only felt a splitting headache, and everything that people around said could not enter his brain. When the contemporary prince asked him, he just wanted to shake off the chaos in his mind. Go out, you can’t even say a word of excuse.

Jiang Xiaolou had seen enough here, and said indifferently, “Miss Mo Yu, so only your maidservant saw it with her own eyes.”

Mo Yu hurriedly replied: “Yes, she saw it with her own eyes.”

The maid hurriedly responded to her master with a look filled with righteous indignation: “Yes, as soon as the maid came back, I saw this man dragging my girl, pulling and pulling her clothes torn apart! If not, the maid yelled loudly. , I am afraid that he will succeed!”

Jiang Xiaolou ignored the pair of masters and servants, but looked at Chu Han and asked seriously: “Chu Han, how do you explain?”

No, of course not true! Chu Han’s hand squeezed involuntarily, and his originally chaotic mind became more and more drowsy, but he was clear in his heart, knowing that he was wronged but couldn’t argue, he could only let the resentment in his chest almost burst into the sky, and his whole body was trembling. stand up.

He Liansheng became more proud, and he sternly shouted: “Since you can’t ask, you don’t have to ask again! Come, catch him!” Several guards immediately went up to suppress Chu Han after hearing the sound. Chu Han had already endured to the limit. , Even under the chaos, a shake of his shoulders threw them all off, and one of them slammed into the rockery, vomiting blood, and immediately fell to the ground.

“Bold fanatics, this is the Palace of Qing Dynasty, how can you let you go wild!” He Liansheng looked like he was greatly insulted, “you don’t want to catch him soon!”

The guards were a bit hesitant just now. After all, they all know what Chu Han is. He is usually bold and generous. Although his temper is a little rough, he has never been indifferent. There are so many beautiful girls in the house. Seeing him teasing and making fun with anyone, but now that it is up to this point, the Anhua County King personally gave the order, and the guards did not dare to obey, so they could only pounce on it and force Chu Han to the ground. Chu Han was even confused. He couldn’t explain it for himself, let alone break free. He only felt that a whole mountain was pressing on him, breathing became extremely difficult, and his face was forcibly pressed against the cold ground. The air of damp earth rushed over his face.

Jiang Xiaolou turned his head abruptly, staring at He Liansheng, his white face with a hint of coldness: “Anhua County King, after all, this matter has not been cleared up yet, how can I immediately ask the crime?!”

He Liansheng glanced at her coldly, with a calm expression: “Princess Mingyue, Miss Mo Yu is the one who will enter the palace soon, and Chu Han will actually defile her. No one can bear such a crime. Don’t think you have suffered. The love of the empress and the empress can ignore the law and discipline. Now that His Royal Highness and the two princes are here, do you still have to cover up for your guard?”

Chu Han is Jiang Xiaolou’s personal guard. Of course, Jiang Xiaolou’s mistakes will be borne by Chu Han. She can’t escape the reputation of lax discipline. If things get worse and the emperor is angry and blames the Qing Palace, then Jiang Xiaolou is the culprit and must bear all the faults and responsibilities. Mo Yu is just a bait, it doesn’t matter whether Chu Han really defiled her, what matters is what Mo Yu said. She is a woman, and her fame is the most important thing. As long as she insists that Chu Han is unruly to her, there is no way to escape. According to King Qing’s temperament, Jiang Xiaolou will definitely be pushed out as a substitute for the dead ghost.

Jiang Xiaolou’s lips evoked a sneer, half of her cheeks were bathed in moonlight with a thin halo, and the other half was covered by shadows, showing a strange coldness: “Miss Moyu, you say He suddenly jumped at you?”

Mo Yu shook, and said quickly: “Yes.”

Jiang Xiaolou gradually hung a sneer: “Today is the prince’s birthday banquet. The hall is full of people and the guests are like clouds. Chu Han will be found out if he acts rashly. Will he be so stupid to throw himself into the net? Martial arts are powerful and free to come and go. If you are attracted to you, you can naturally take you to a safe place and then be frivolous. If you start in such a place where people come at any time, is your beauty too earth-shattering, or his brain suddenly broken You can’t control your behavior at all? Girl Mo Yu, just now you said that the maid was going to get the hairpin. You dare to ask where the hairpin is. Can you let me have a look?”

Mo Yu became dumb for a while, his complexion turned pale, and the hairpin… That was just an excuse, but it was just trying to create a reason for placing orders to make Chu Han lower his guard, where would he look for the hairpin now? !

Jiang Xiaolou quietly stretched out her hand. In the moonlight, her palms were almost transparent, and the purple blood vessels were clearly visible. It was shocking, and slowly there was a cold light in her eyes: “Give me the hairpin.”

Mo Yu shrank back subconsciously, barely speaking.

“Hairpin…Hairpin…” She immediately looked at the maid next to her. The maid didn’t dare to say anything. After a long time, she finally squeezed out a word: “Hairpin, I didn’t find it! The slave was afraid that the girl was waiting in a hurry, so she hurried over.”

“Oh -” Jiang Xiaolou deliberately prolonged the ending, and slowly withdrew his hand, with an unexpected expression on his face, “It’s such a coincidence that the hairpin that has been looking for so long has disappeared. It seems that we should take care of it. Search the entire palace carefully and see where the baby hairpin is lost.”

The prince stared at Jiang Xiaolou, with a grim expression: “Princess Mingyue, this is not a question of whether you believe it or not. We have seen so many eyes. Could everyone be blind, or do you think Miss Mo Yu is deliberately trying Innocent Chu Han? They have no grievances or enmity between each other. Why do they use such an excuse to slander? How important is a woman’s fame? A girl like Moyu can get her father’s father if she enters the palace. Pampering, she has endless glory and wealth. Now that this happened, no matter whether she is still innocent or not, there is no way to enter the palace again! Spending such a large price but giving up all previous efforts, do you think she would be so stupid?”

Who would give up everything and give up a bright future to wrong an **** with no identity and no power is simply the world’s worst!

What the prince said was reasonable and everyone nodded when they heard the words, but the princess Qing could not bear the anxiety, but did not know how to explain it.

The third prince Duguke looked indifferent, but reminded Jiang Xiaolou: “Princess Mingyue, although this guard has been by your side for a long time, you may not fully understand his nature. Knowing people and faces, you shouldn’t replace them. He is sophistry.”

Duguke is reminding Jiang Xiaolou to quickly get rid of the relationship, and don’t get entangled in this matter anymore. If Chu Han is abandoned now, although her reputation will be severely damaged, it is much better than making trouble with the emperor. If you continue to argue in this way, I am afraid that the prince will be annoyed for a while and thoroughly publicize the matter, and Jiang Xiaolou will definitely be implicated.

He Liansheng deliberately stretched his tone, with a sullen smile on his face: “Princess Mingyue, can you hear me? Don’t take things to yourself!”

Jiang Xiaolou, do you think you can get rid of sin by giving up Chu Han? Rumors will be everywhere in the capital tomorrow. An improper, lascivious and shameless guard will follow Mingyue Princess for a long time. Others will naturally give birth to countless ambiguous and lowly fantasies… Even if you abandon your **** and protect your car, it will be hard to get rid of the ruin!
