Chapter 42 - Questioning

　　The night red aya on the carriage after the silent leaning against the brocade couch sitting, look as indifferent and detached, and not much in the stream when angered by the fury.

　　It looks no different from normal.

　　"Today's incident is the sixth prince and the eighth princess are scheming your highness?" Han Qingbai handed a cup of tea to night red aya, raised his eyes and asked lightly.

　　Night red aya did not speak, silently sipped tea, pupils slightly converge, can not see the emotions under the eyes.

　　Han Qingbai also did not speak, the two of them all the way to silence.

　　...

　　The two of them were silent all the way to the hospital, and there was no chance to go back to her princess hall.

　　The carriage arrived outside the Xuancheng Gate, Sun Ping was waiting there with people.

　　Seeing that the Sixth Prince actually drove the carriage back personally, although Sun Ping was a little surprised, he didn't say anything, but just respectfully went forward and saluted: "Greetings, Sixth Highness."

　　"Chief Steward Sun." Night Light Han got off the carriage and spoke in a gentle tone, "Eighth sister is injured, I'll take her back to Fengyang Hall first, and declare the doctor to go over and take a look."

　　"Back to the sixth prince, I'm afraid that won't work." Sun Ping smiled, but his attitude was tough, "The emperor has decreed that all the princes and princesses are invited to go to Zhiyuan Hall, the emperor has something to ask."

　　Night light Han's heart sank, his tone slightly anxious: "But the eighth sister was injured, and is now in a coma ..."

　　"The emperor said that the carriage of the eighth princess can drive directly into the palace gate and stop in front of the outer steps of Zhiyuan Hall." Sun Ping lowered his eyebrows, "Please do as the Sixth Prince says, the old slave is just following orders."

　　The night light Han's complexion changed slightly, could not help but clench his hand, forced to smile: "Good, since the father has a decree, my son and others should comply. I will take my eighth sister to see the father."

　　Sun Ping nodded his head and returned to Zhiyuan Hall with him.

　　The night Ziling, lying on the brocade couch in the carriage, heard the conversation outside and felt a panic in her heart, unconsciously biting her lips, her heart sinking to the bottom.

　　The sun is shining and the air is filled with fragrance, but the hall of Zhiyuan is a solemn and dead silence.

　　The emperor's face has never been more ugly, the palace people in the hall are all silent as a chill.

　　Until Sun Ping came in and respectfully reported, "Your Majesty, the sixth prince and the eighth princess have arrived."

　　A cold voice rang out in the hall: "Tell them to get in."

　　The Sixth Prince's heart trembled and he felt his legs go weak.

　　"Sixth prince." Sun Ping turned his head, "His Majesty has decreed that the Sixth Prince and the Eighth Princess should enter now."

　　The Sixth Prince held back his uneasiness, lifted the carriage curtain and made a gesture to shake Night Ziling: "Eighth sister, wake up."

　　Sun Ping was expressionless, watching with cold eyes.

　　Night Ziling opened her eyes and a painful whisper came out of her throat.

　　"Eighth sister, Father wants us to go in now."

　　Night Ziling raised her eyes, and between her and Night Qinghan's eyes, they were both anxious: what to do? Is there any way to inform the Empress Dowager or the Mother?

　　The night light Han shook his head: here are all father's people, who dares to sneak to inform the news?

　　Night Ziling bit her lip, holding back the pain ... pain is really painful, the night Red Aya how ruthlessly hands, no one who has tasted it simply do not know.

　　The action of getting up from the couch involved the wounds behind, the pain of this delicate princess face white, forehead emerged cold sweat, looks weak but not pretend.

　　But not much use.

　　At least the emperor who is now angry probably does not eat this one, Sun Ping thought in his heart.

　　The other two princes accompanied by Princess Protector and King Jin Yang and his wife had arrived when she got off the carriage.

　　Sun Ping went in to inform them again.

　　"Let them all come in."

　　"Yes."

　　Sun Ping turned and walked out, relaying the emperor's decree, "Your Highnesses, King Jin Yang, and the royal concubine all come in."

　　Night Ziling was helped in, her face was pale, her hair was disheveled, and her grooming was as wretched as it had ever been.

　　As soon as she saw the Emperor's face, her eyes were red, as if she had been greatly aggrieved, "Father ..."

　　"Kneel down!" Emperor Jing bellowed angrily, and all the people in the hall flinched in unison.

　　Night Ziling face white, flopped down on the ground, raised his head, frightened to look at the emperor: "Father ..."

　　The action of raising the head just reveals the shocking strangulation marks on her tender neck, and the blue marks from the five fingers pinching out, it can be seen that the person who did it did not show any mercy, at that moment was really want to kill her.

　　If she was not the night Ziling, this moment is afraid that even life is lost.

　　The emperor was also shocked, subconsciously glanced towards the night red aya, then coldly and angrily looked at the night Ziling, ignoring her wounds, coldly grunted, turned his head to inspect several people in front of him.

　　The three princes and the couple of Jin Yang Wang all kneeled down and performed the salute, only night red aya like an ice sculpture standing aside, expressionless face is full of frost.

　　In the eyes of Emperor Jing, this is the most angry and aggrieved expression.

　　After taking a deep breath, he spoke coldly: "Sun Ping, let everyone out."

　　"My servant obeys the order." Sun Ping answered, raised his hand to signal, and led all the palace staff out of Zhiyuan Hall.

　　A moment of silence fell in the hall.

　　Emperor Jing took several deep breaths before suppressing his heart's shock and anger, but his tone was still cold: "Who can explain to me what happened today at Peach Blossom Mountain?"

　　"Back to Your Majesty." King Jin Yang was the first to speak, "I am in charge of the banquet on Peach Blossom Mountain today, and I am responsible for everything."

　　"Say."

　　"The Eighth Princess has lost some of her composure today and said some nonsense." King Jin Yang said, "Princess Protector has suffered some aggression."

　　Lu Yanzhi said this in a really euphemistic way.

　　But he knew in his heart that the emperor must have known the cause and effect - although he didn't know who had tipped him off first, but if the emperor hadn't known what had happened, he wouldn't have been so furious.

　　So he does not need to hold for anyone, because the more euphemistic, the more can ignite the emperor's heart anger.

　　Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, Emperor Jing was furious and said: "Suffered a little aggravation? Is that a matter of suffering a little bit of aggression? This is a charge that can be casually placed on a conspiracy to rebel and usurp power? This is a matter of carelessness will be lost head! The seventh princess is not just a little bit of aggression? It's a great grievance!"

　　Night Light Han was shocked, and her face turned white with fear from this rant.

　　And night Ziling even instantly face fear, instant atmosphere dare not out.

　　The emperor this attitude who can not see? It is obvious that he wants to defend the night red aya and ask the eight princesses to sin.

　　"The emperor said yes." Lu Yanzhi lowered his eyes and gazed at the xuan-colored palace tiles in front of him, his tone was steady, "I did not expect that a cup of fruit wine would make the eighth princess lose her temper after drinking.

　　Emperor Jing's face was sullen and stern: "What kind of liquor is used in the goblets? Is it strong in nature?"

　　"Your Majesty, the wine I used was the plum wine made by the inner son, it was not strong." Lu Yanzhi lightly said, "Miss Gu also drank that wine, if your Majesty does not believe, you can summon Miss Gu to come over and ask."
