Dressed as the teacher of the Black Lotus Emperor

Chapter 56 Impeachment of His Royal Highness the Prince

The moonlight was like practice, Shen Qingzhuo comforted the trembling boy in his arms, and turned his eyes to the imperial concubine curled up on the bed.

Ever since the Seventh Prince entered the Changle Palace, although he has never returned to the Leng Palace, he has sent people to keep an eye on the Leng Palace all the time. Those palace people who look down on others no longer dare to blatantly skimp on food and clothing, and serve the crazy concubine carefully. .

Right now, the environment in the cold palace has obviously improved.

Shen Qingzhuo couldn't help but feel sad, even though his concubine mother had been cruel to kill him time and time again, on this special day, the little apprentice couldn't help but come to see his concubine mother.

Maybe it's because he wants to get a blessing from his mother, or it's just a simple yearning, hoping that his occasionally sober mother can give him a hug on his birthday.

"Mister..." Xiao Shen buried his face in the familiar neck, tightened his arms around Mr., "I'm so uncomfortable..."

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay..." Shen Qingzhuo kept stroking the back of the little apprentice's head, and comforted him in a low voice, "You have grown up, and she can no longer easily hurt you."

He didn't know exactly what happened, but he thought it would definitely not be something happy that made the little apprentice so sad.

And Concubine Zhao stared at the two huddled together with blank eyes, she was caught off guard and went crazy again: "Kill me! You killed me ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The shrill screams echoed in the empty cold palace, Shen Qingzhuo's scalp went numb, and she subconsciously protected the little apprentice in her arms, and turned sideways, for fear that the mad imperial concubine would pounce on her.

"Kill me, come and kill me! What's the point of me being alive..." But fortunately, Concubine Zhao didn't attack them, she just hugged her head and slammed it against the wall desperately, "Xiao Yucheng! I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost..."

Xiao Yucheng, who was the name of Emperor Guangxi, cried out every word, as if wanting to bite off a piece of his flesh.

Shen Qingzhuo was not sure whether the imperial concubine was really crazy or fake at the moment, but the sound of "dongdong" hitting the wall was really frightening.

After hesitating for a while, he let the drunken apprentice lean against the door frame, "I'll make your concubine mother faint."

Xiao Shen grabbed his sleeve, looked at him with red eyes, there seemed to be a thousand words to say in his eyes, and finally let go obediently.

Shen Qingzhuo walked quickly to the bed, trying to forcibly pull back the imperial concubine who hit the wall.

However, the crazy Concubine Zhao Gui was so powerful that he couldn't restrain her even with all his strength, so he shouted angrily: "Zhao Yingjun!"

Concubine Zhao instantly seemed to have been tapped on the static acupoint, and she stopped struggling and twisting.

"Didn't you want to kill him to take revenge?" Shen Qingzhuo said coldly, "When a person dies, he is a piece of soil. If ghosts can kill people, why didn't the three souls of 210 who died in the Zhao family fail to take away their enemies?"

Concubine Zhao fell down with a "bang", slammed heavily on the bed, and cried hoarsely: "Father, mother... It is the unfilial daughter who harmed you... My daughter is living in an ignoble existence..."

"Watching the death of the enemy with your own eyes, the noble concubine can go on the road with peace of mind, isn't it?" Shen Qingzhuo said and let go of his hand completely, "When you die in the cold palace, no one will even collect the body for you. Are you really willing?"

These words hit Concubine Zhao Guifei's life completely. She lay on the bed and continued to cry, her whole body trembling like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

After confirming that she would not go crazy again, Shen Qingzhuo turned around and walked back to the entrance of the hall.

The little apprentice was facing away from them, leaning on the door frame and looking up at the moon, turning a deaf ear to everything that happened in the hall.

"Go back." Shen Qingzhuo reached out to support him, "Mister will take you back."

"Okay, sir." Xiao Shen looked away, pulled the corner of his lips and smiled at Mr., "Let's go back together."

But in Shen Qingzhuo's view, that smile seemed uglier than crying.

The master and apprentice went back to Changle Palace under the moonlight.

Along the way, Xiao Shen didn't make any noise, but the spirit of drinking came up again, and half of his body was pressed heavily on his husband.

Shen Qingzhuo struggled to support the little apprentice, and finally helped him back to the dormitory. Before he touched the bed, he was pressed into the bedding by his body like a hill.

"Hey..." He raised his hand and pushed it against his chest, but he was shivering from the heat, so he could only discuss it nicely, "Xiaoqi, let the husband get up before going to sleep, okay?"

But the young man remained motionless, and after a while, the sound of even breathing came from his ears, and he fell asleep directly.

Shen Qingzhuo: "..."

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while, but when he remembered what the little apprentice had gone through tonight, he couldn't help but soften his heart again, so he simply relaxed his body and lay down to gather his strength first.

After a while, he finally came to his senses, put his arms around his slightly thin shoulders, hugged the boy in a circle, and switched the order of the two.

Just as he was about to retreat lightly, the young man under him suddenly opened his eyes.

The four eyes met, and the posture was indescribably strange. Shen Qingzhuo was inexplicably nervous, "That's not me...I just want to go on..."

"Sir." Xiao Shen looked into his eyes without blinking, and asked calmly but eagerly, "Sir, will you be with me forever?"

Those obsidian-like pupils are like a bottomless vortex, possessing the magical power to suck the soul of a person into it.

Shen Qingzhuo unconsciously dodged his eyes for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "My dear apprentice, no one in this world can promise forever. But at least for this moment, sir is by your side."

He thought that the little apprentice would break the casserole and ask the end as usual, but the young man just stared at him quietly, and then closed his eyes again.

Shen Qingzhuo breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and carefully laid down on the bed.

He was so drunk that he couldn't take a bath, so he ordered someone to bring warm water, twisted the wet towel, and wiped the little apprentice's face and hands.

Xiao Shen obediently lay on his side on the jade mat, his slender body curled up into a ball, the moment his husband was about to leave, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the snow-white slender wrist.

"Just tonight..." He closed his eyes tightly and murmured in a sleepy voice, "Just tonight, stay with me..."

Shen Qingzhuo sighed silently, turned around and said, "Okay, sir will accompany you."

He lay down on the other side of the bed, imitating the posture of a teenager, with his arms resting on his neck, lying opposite him.

"Sleep in peace." He raised his hand, patted the little apprentice's arm lightly, and coaxed in a low voice, "Mr. is here..."

The moment he let himself fall into a dark dream, Xiao Shen thought in his heart——

Sir, you saved me again.

***

Three days later, it was time to go to court again.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Emperor Guangxi sat high on the dragon chair, listening to the performances of civil and military officials in a waning mood.

After the cabinet and the six ministries started a back-and-forth debate, Emperor Guangxi knocked him back with a single sentence, and the hall fell into a brief silence.

Duke Su was on the side, and was about to read out "If there is something to announce, if there is nothing to leave the court", Cen Yuan, the left capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, came out and bowed his hands: "Your Majesty, I have this announcement."

Emperor Guangxi glanced at him, "What is Cen Aiqing going to say?"

"I want to impeach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, for being licentious and prostitutes, and the curtain is thin and unrefined!" The sonorous and powerful voice of Lord Yushi echoed in the hall.

Xiao Yichen's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily stepped out, "Father and emperor have learned from you, my son and minister have been wronged!"

Cao Ren followed and retorted sharply: "His Royal Highness is diligent in government affairs, how can he have time to seek flowers and ask willows? Lord Yushi, please don't spit blood!"

"Whether I have spitting blood, His Royal Highness knows very well." Cen Yuan was not afraid at all, "May I ask if the maid named Lumei in the East Palace was born in Zuixiangfang?"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar, and the adults couldn't help whispering.

Emperor Guangxi frowned, and glanced at Commander Shen at the lower left.

But Lord Shen stood on the ground in front of the emperor, without any reaction on his face, as if everything that happened in the palace had nothing to do with him.

"There are many maidservants in the Eastern Palace, Gu doesn't know where they are from." Xiao Yichen stabilized his mind, and replied in a deep voice, "Gu is busy day and night to relieve father's worries, how can he take care of the little palace maids when he has time?"

"Okay." Cen Yuan took out a memorial from his sleeve, and took out a portrait, and presented them together, "Your Majesty, this is the confession of the girls in Zuixiangfang, saying that a young man surnamed Xiao is a frequent visitor of Zuixiangfang , and drew a portrait of Young Master Xiao."

Eunuch Su took it quickly and presented it to Emperor Guangxi with both hands.

After a while, Emperor Guangxi crumpled the portrait into a ball with a black face, and slammed it on the prince with a "slap", "What a busy person to share my worries! Did you share my worries to Huajie Liuxiang?"

How could His Royal Highness dare to pick up the ball of paper, knowing that he had no excuses, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Father, please calm down, it's because I was confused for a while!"

At this time, Fan Zhe, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out and directly attacked Cen Yushi: "May I ask where the censor got the news? Could it be that the censor himself likes to visit brothels, and that's why he called for a thief?"

Cen Yuan replied calmly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Fan, the Minister of Rites, is also a frequent visitor of Zuixiangfang."

Hearing this, Fan Zhe was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and shouted loudly: "Lord Cen, don't spit blood on people! Your Majesty, this is a living trap!"

Cen Yuan said in a strange tone: "Speaking of which, Mr. Fan just married the seventh aunt a few days ago, and he still has time to visit brothels. The management and allocation of time and energy is really admirable."

Shen Qingzhuo bent his lips imperceptibly.

"You—" Fan Zhe was so angry that he was about to poke his head on the spot, "Your Majesty, this Cen Yushi has had a little conflict with this humble minister on weekdays, this time it is clearly a public revenge! Please give me a lesson from the Emperor!"

Emperor Guangxi scolded in a deep voice: "Shut up for me!"

Zuodu Censor was in charge of monitoring and impeaching all officials. He was the emperor's eyes and ears. As the saying goes, there is no storm without waves. In addition, Beizhen Fusi had reported the Zuixiangfang incident before, so Emperor Guangxu naturally believed it at this moment.

"Of course, His Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Fan are not the only ones on the visitor list of the girl from Zuixiangfang." Cen Yuan took out another memorial from his sleeve, "Please have a look, Your Majesty."

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the other important ministers in the hall were also changed, and the third prince finally couldn't help showing a gloating expression.

Emperor Guangxi just glanced at it, and Long Yan was furious on the spot, cursing: "Absurd! You guys—cough cough..."

Furious, he leaned on the armrest of the dragon chair and coughed so loudly that Eunuch Su hurried forward, "The emperor calms down, it's important to take care of the dragon's body!"

Prostitute sex was not prohibited in the Dayong Dynasty, and brothels and kilns were popular, but this did not mean that the emperor could tolerate the collective prostitution of important court officials, especially when it involved the prince of a country.

This time Mr. Cen resorted to a big political move to attack personal life and style issues, the princelings had no power to fight back, and the few remaining people who were not named were in danger and did not dare to speak out.

Cao Ren also finally realized that Cen Yushi had come prepared and said too many mistakes, so he took the initiative to kneel down and plead guilty: "His Royal Highness went astray for a while, and the old minister failed to teach him well. Please, the emperor punishes the prince to think about his mistakes behind closed doors. Please fine me half a year's salary!"

His move is to retreat to advance, and he wants to protect His Royal Highness, but how can Shen Qingzhuo let them go so easily?

"Your Majesty, I have a book to play." Mr. Shen, who had watched enough drama, came out to pay respects in a graceful manner.

Xiao Yichen knelt down on the ground, his heart skipped a beat again when he heard the words, and then he comforted himself, Master Shen must be planning to intercede for him, after all they have already united the front, and now they are grasshoppers tied to the same rope.

Emperor Guangxi stopped coughing slowly, his face was terribly ugly, and he squeezed out a word from his throat: "Zuo."

Shen Qingzhuo held the playbook in his hand, and asked, "Does the emperor still remember the case of Lian Zhong, the former Minister of Rites, cheating in the scientific examination?"

Emperor Guangxi frowned: "Isn't this case already closed?"

Shen Qingzhuo's speech was not in a hurry, and he said with a loud voice: "According to Lian Zhong's latest confession, I want to participate in the impeachment of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's scientific examination for malpractice and disrupting the imperial court!"

The author has something to say:

This time the prince really wants to get a box lunch hahaha!

In the comments, Baozi said that for us, time flies by in a blink of an eye, but Xiaoqi really couldn't eat meat in those years. To this, the wolf cub said: Thank you!
