"Your majesty, don't you know that they offended the emperor?" The manager was shocked, and even the guards hesitated a bit. "For no reason like this..."

"Is it deaf?" The little emperor shouted sharply.Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Ruan winked at several guards, while quietly leaving the garden to find someone to persuade them.

The guards had no choice but to step forward and drag the two maids aside for execution.At first, it was just a superficial effort. It seemed that the stick was exerting all its strength, but the fall was in vain.

The emperor heard that they beat them with sticks for a dozen times, and the two still had the strength to cry and beg for mercy, their faces gradually sneered, and their voices suddenly became sharper: "I said that the sticks are dead, don't you understand?"

Seeing the emperor's anger, the execution guards didn't dare to be merciful anymore, and within a few sticks, the screaming sound stopped abruptly, and the two court ladies died on the spot.Yan Yuan had never seen this posture before, and fainted for a moment.

"In the future, if there are rumors and rumors that cause troubles, this will be the end." The little emperor looked coldly, confirming that the two died, and then said slowly. "See it all? Then remember it."

Looking up, Xiao Ruan hurriedly led Chen Xiang over at this moment, just in time to see the scene in front of him.Seeing his frowning, the little emperor smiled without waiting to open his mouth: "Although Prime Minister Chen is an important minister, this is a matter of my harem, and Prime Minister Chen has nothing to do with it."

Without waiting for Chen Xiang to teach him a lesson, he walked away.

Concubine Dai dismissed her servants, set up the tent herself, sat down on a chair at the side, frowned and sighed slightly: "How did those two big ladies offend you? What exactly did you say to the emperor?"

"Sister, sister..." Yan Yuan's face was pale, but there was still fear in his eyes, and he hugged the quilt and trembled, "The emperor just killed people like that..."

"Don't talk nonsense." The imperial concubine pressed her fingers to her lips and hissed softly. "I asked you what you said to the emperor?"

Yan Yuan didn't dare to hide anything, so he told her the whole story, and finally asked in disbelief: "Is it true what they said? Your Majesty and the prince..."

"The emperor said not to mention it again, so don't mention it again. If someone asks you in the future, just ask him to ask the emperor." Dai Guifei was silent for a moment, but she was not surprised. "There are so many real and fake things in the palace."

"How is it possible, Your Majesty?" Yan Yuan was still afraid, but was shocked but also somewhat inexplicably angry and disappointed, unwilling to believe, "They must be talking nonsense!"

"It was right not to let you enter the palace at the beginning. With your temperament, I'm afraid that within three days, even the bones will be counted clean." Concubine Dai took her hand seriously, and shook her head lightly.There was no one else in the room, but she kept her voice down carefully. "In this palace, if you hear some words, you should pretend you didn't hear them, and if you saw them, you should pretend you didn't see them."

"That means they are talking nonsense, right?" Yan Yuan refused to give up.Backhand grabbed her sleeve.His eyes widened in bewilderment.

"They said don't mention it anymore." The noble concubine broke away from her and stood in. Seeing that she was confused, she had to soften her voice again. "You don't even think about it. This palace is so big, how could it be so coincidental that you were the only one to hear it? It's not that you were careless in your words a few days ago. It fell into the ears of someone who cared about you, and you made painstaking arrangements. Only you were used as a weapon Don't know yet."

"That means someone ordered them to slander." Yan Yuan sniffed, but became more confident.

"You girl!" The imperial concubine laughed back angrily, it seemed that if she didn't explain her words clearly to Yan Yuan, this person insisted on sticking to a truth. "Apart from the parties themselves, no one can really explain the matter. The emperor is not the wise monarch you imagined. The Ninth Prince is also very special to the emperor. It is best not to mention it in front of the emperor."

Yan Yuan still looked at her with wide eyes in a daze.

"Also, you'd better put away the idea of ​​explaining the whole story to the emperor and letting me out of the palace." Dai Guifei hated iron and steel, and shook her shoulder severely. "If this matter is not handled properly, many people will be involved. You can't say a single word to anyone. Even if others question you in the future, you will bite to death and you can't say a word. Remember?"

Seeing that her face was so gloomy and scary, Yan Yuan responded vaguely, and Concubine Dai explained something else in detail, but she just listened absent-mindedly.However, in his heart, the emperor was still the young emperor who helped her in the crisis that day.In the harshness and tyranny that seemed out of reach, she still felt a little vaguely kind.

In fact, she regretted that she did not enter the palace in person.So the emperor must not be what the rumors say.

After that day, several people in the palace were severely punished one after another, although they did not lose their lives.However, the method is cruel, and it will inevitably make people criticize.

Chen Xiang frowned secretly.In the past, there were several relatives who supervised and disciplined him. No matter how angry the little emperor was, he never killed anyone.Now the third prince left for the fief a few days ago, and the rest of them seldom come to the palace, no one intimidated the emperor, and unexpectedly showed some violent temper.

On the same day, Chen Xiang also advised, at least not to ask or not to ask why, whether someone ordered it, etc., to abuse the criminal law like this.Rong Zhuo looked up at him coldly from the seat, with anger still in his eyes, he didn't say a word.That look actually made him feel a little afraid.

"If we continue to investigate, I'm afraid there will be more gossip. Is the dignity of the Tian family justified by their nonsense?" The little emperor turned his head away and gave him this sentence as an explanation.He said coldly in a low voice: "It's okay to make me cruel, but it's not okay to drag it on others."

Chen Xiang held his breath in his chest, and probably guessed who this other person was.What happened that day is unknown to outsiders, and it is said that the two maids offended Miss Yan, and this ended up like this.The emperor also allowed this rumor to spread like this.But presumably those two maids mentioned this master, which offended the emperor and cost them their lives.But after thinking about it, I feel like I need to say something more.The little emperor had already looked over with cold eyes, his eyes were full of coldness and hostility: "I have always respected your lords, and I hope that your lords understand the truth. I don't need anyone to teach me how to be an emperor."

If you think about the meaning of this sentence, it can be light or heavy.Chen Xiang was terrified and remained silent.

But this matter has to be discussed with others.As a young emperor, it's good to have that kind of aura that can't be played by others, but it's also too sharp, and has a surly temper, and needs restraint to be safe.

Thinking so, Chen Xiang looked at Prince Su who was opposite.Because it is necessary to discuss the exchange of defenses in Beijing and China, and the recruitment of military borders.There are also matters about the kings of various places.The emperor summoned important ministers to discuss in the Yuzhang Hall, and the rare Ninth Prince also arrived.

At this time, it was already the weather of March in Yangchun, Rong Xuan was still wearing the winter court clothes, he still seemed to be shy from the cold, his face was slightly pale.But his expression was calm, against the background of heavy court clothes, he was still solemn and solemn.He had also heard about what happened a few days ago, and now he was standing silently behind the ministers, seeing Chen Xiang looking at him, nodding his head slightly as a greeting, but he had no intention of talking.Just at this time, the emperor announced that everyone entered the palace, and quietly followed behind.

The little emperor didn't seem to expect him to come, he was slightly pleasantly surprised, and then suppressed it.After everyone had seen the ceremony, he ordered to be given a seat.

Xiao Ruan intentionally lured the Ninth Prince to sit near the head, but Rong Xuan refused, and sat down at a far end, lowering his head so as not to look at him.

The garrison of the army is a major event, and there are various interests and interests in it. In detail, it is also connected with the great interests of the court officials.Therefore, there was a lot of controversy, and it took more than an hour before this was roughly a conclusion.During this time, Rong Xuan didn't say a word, the little emperor seemed to be listening quietly, but his expression gradually turned cold.

After everyone agreed, Rong Xuan took an opportunity to ask the emperor for leave.

It was a leave of absence, not a resignation, and he didn't mention going back to the fief like Uncle San did.The emperor felt a little relieved.His expression slowed down and he was about to speak, but someone said first: "My lord, is this a real illness, or a fake illness?"
