Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

\u0026lt;ul class=tent_ul\u0026gt;

While the emperor was distracted because his beloved daughter was physically injured, Yang Yan had already secretly signaled to his men to go to Yiren Palace to get her. Soon Xianqing was brought to the East Palace with her hair disheveled and her clothes disheveled.

"Your Majesty~~" was roughly thrown in front of the two of them. Xianqing called out and cried without saying a word.

His cry was not an imageless wail. Instead, his eyes were filled with tears, which hung tightly on his eyelashes. He pressed his fingers slightly on his mouth and looked over timidly.

It not only allows people to see his grievance and fear, but also does not lose his sense of beauty. He is like a small animal that has been forced into a corner. Even a hard-hearted person can't help it when he sees him like this. Become.

Not only was Le Xiaoyu not hard-hearted, but her whole heart was focused on him. Of course, she was even more heartbroken about what he had suffered. She immediately looked at the person next to her angrily: "Yuanjun, how could you do anything without my consent?" Arrest someone?”

"How can this be considered a random arrest?" Yang Yan looked at her in surprise, "There are all the witnesses and physical evidence. The concubine was poisoned because she ate the snacks sent by Xian Qing. Even though the emperor was partial to him, he had to do it. Just defend it indiscriminately, right?"

Le Xiaoyu was speechless by his words. She knew very well that Yuan Jun's actions were not wrong. If any of the ministers in the palace were suspected of murdering the princess, she would have been cautious about them. The Criminal Division interrogated.

But this man was Zi Qian, the man she held dear to her heart, and he was also Yi'er's biological father. She knew that he would never harm her biological daughter, so how could she bear to see him suffer?

"The queen was poisoned?" While she was thinking about her words, Xianqing was shocked by what she heard and asked repeatedly, "How could the queen be poisoned? How is she now? Yuanjun, how did you take care of the queen? How could a woman suffer such a crime? "

"What a joke!" Yang Yan sneered, "I haven't asked you about my crime yet, but you questioned me first. The princess was poisoned after eating the snacks you brought. What explanation do you have, Xianqing?" "

Only then did Xian Qing remember his identity. On the surface, the princess was the daughter of Yuan Jun, and he was just an ordinary concubine. How could he be qualified to question the Yuan Jun of a country?

It's a pity that now his daughter's life and death are uncertain, but he doesn't even have the qualifications to feel sorry for her, and he has to be questioned as a suspect for murdering his own daughter.

The more Xianqing thought about it, the more miserable he became. He glanced at the emperor with tearful eyes, lowered his head and tears fell down like beads in strings. His thin body was twitching, and he looked extremely pitiful.

Le Xiaoyu's heart was also sobbing along with him, and her heart was throbbing with pain. She couldn't help but comfort her: "The queen is fine, the doctor is detoxifying her, and she will recover soon."

As for the sequelae that will be left after detoxification, she has already issued a gag order, and no one is allowed to tell them. First, the safety of the Crown Princess is related to the stability of the country, and second, she still has luck in her heart. Maybe there is no imperial doctor for Yi'er's situation. It's so serious, maybe she can recover after treatment.

"Really?" Xianqing raised his head after hearing this, his eyes full of surprise, "The princess will really be fine. Your Majesty, please don't lie to me!"

"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you?" Le Xiaoyu looked at him lovingly, with lingering eyes. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would have loved to hold him in her arms and love him.

Oh! Did these two people treat him as a dead person?

"The princess is fine, but you are not sure, Xianqing." Yang Yan ruthlessly interrupted the affection between the two of them, "Now can you explain why you gave the princess poisonous cakes to eat? "

"Ah!" Xianqing exclaimed in a low voice and quickly said, "I have been wronged! I can swear to God that this matter was definitely not done by me. I usually like the princess the most. She is treated as a servant’s own daughter, so how could he intend to harm her? Please give me a warning from the emperor.”

"Ha! You treat the princess as your own daughter, and you deserve it even with your lowly status!" Before Yang Yan could speak, Huang Guiqing had already rushed in uncontrollably, pointing at him and saying something indifferent. Merciless insults.

He had already arrived when Xianqing was captured. He originally planned to watch Yuanjun's jokes, but he saw the emperor defending Xianqing first, and his suspicions that had been temporarily dismissed were aroused again.

That's why he hid outside the courtyard without showing up, intending to see how the emperor would deal with this swordsman. Unexpectedly, what happened next made him jealous.

The emperor actually blindly protected Xian Qing, the swordsman, completely ignoring that he was suspected of murdering the crown princess, and the way she looked at Qi Jianren made him feel chills.

It was the look that a woman would have when looking at her beloved man. Even though he didn't want to admit it in his heart, after thinking about it carefully, he clearly found that the emperor had never looked at him with such a look.

What does this mean?

Huang Guiqing had secretly laughed at Cen Yangyan countless times. He was an ugly man but had no self-awareness. Even if he dominated the position of Yuanjun, he would never be able to get the emperor's favor in his life.

But now he realized that maybe he was the biggest joke in the palace. He thought that the emperor pampered and indulged him because he really liked him, but he didn't know that what she really cared about was another person.

"Your Majesty, such a ruthless servant must not be spared. I think he should be sent to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation immediately. He will confess only after being tortured!" The jealous Huang Guiqing's face became a little ferocious, and her voice became very sharp. Where was her usual beauty?

Unexpectedly, he would suddenly appear to disrupt the situation. Le Xiaoyu's face twisted and felt quite tricky.

Yuanjun has always been mild-tempered. She is still somewhat confident that she can control him and ask him to act according to her orders, but Huang Guiqing is spoiled by her and arrogant. With his temper, he will definitely not give up since he has spoken.

If she continues to protect Xianqing, he will definitely make a fuss. According to her usual favor for him, she should throw Xianqing into the Ministry of Punishment according to his wishes, otherwise it will definitely arouse suspicion.

But she knew that Xianqing was innocent, how could she bear it? And his body has always been weak, how could he bear such suffering, and she couldn't bear it.

"Nonsense!" Le Xiaoyu couldn't help but said with a sullen face, "Xian Qing is my servant after all. How can you send him to a place like the Ministry of Punishment to be tortured by others? Where do you want to put my face?"

"My servant only knows to be punished when he makes a mistake," Huang Guiqing looked at her fearlessly, "The princess of a country is related to the stability of the country. Xian Qing is suspected of murdering the princess, so he should be interrogated. A mere servant, can't the emperor be reluctant to let go?"

Facing Huang Guiqing's burning gaze, Le Xiaoyu had a headache for a moment. She regretted that she had spoiled him too much in order to support him and Cen Yangyan to compete with him. He was spoiled so much that he didn't know how high the sky was and dared to challenge her in front of everyone.

She subconsciously looked at Yuan Jun on the side, hoping that he would come out to refute Huang Guiqing. After all, these two people have never been on good terms, and what one person wants to do will often be opposed by the other.

However, she was disappointed. Yang Yan was happy to watch them fight each other, so how could he help her out? At this moment, he was looking at the domineering Huang Guiqing with great interest, and then at Xian Qing who was crying silently on his side. He looked so leisurely that he almost ate a handful of melon seeds.

Le Xiaoyu was so angry that she almost fainted. Seeing that Huang Guiqing was ready to have someone arrested, she could only say: "Interrogation is of course necessary, but you can't go to the Ministry of Punishment."

She reluctantly threw out a second-best plan: "So, I will order the Ministry of Punishment..." Thinking that the Minister of Punishment was the Prime Minister's man, she was afraid that Huang Guiqing would make some moves, so she added another candidate and said, "Joint investigation with the Dali Temple to find out the murderer who murdered the princess."

"Your Majesty..." Huang Guiqing wanted to argue, but Being glared at by her fierce eyes, he was still afraid in his heart, so he could only take a step back and said, "As the emperor wishes."

Then he said unwillingly: "But Xianqing is now a major suspect in the murder of the princess. It is not appropriate for him to continue living in the palace. Let's send him to the prison of the Ministry of Justice and detain him temporarily!"

He glared at Xianqing who was kneeling on the ground with resentment, thinking that no matter what means this vixen used, she would take the opportunity to scratch his face when he was in the prison, and see what he could do to win the heart of the emperor.

How could Le Xiaoyu not see through his thoughts? He immediately decided: "After all, he is one of the four ministers. It is not appropriate for the Ministry of Justice to be mixed with good and bad people. Let him be detained in the Dali Temple!"

The Dali Temple Minister is her confidant, and one of the few people who know that the person she truly loves is Xianqing. He will definitely understand her intentions and take good care of Xianqing, so that she can be relieved.

Just like she saw through Huang Guiqing's thoughts, Huang Guiqing also understood her intentions when she made the decision. Seeing her defending Xianqing's swordsman so much, he was angry and jealous. He knew that it was useless to argue anymore, so he immediately threw his long sleeves and turned around and left without any courtesy.

At the same time, he sneered in his heart. Did the emperor think that he would be able to do nothing if he put Xianqing's swordsman in the Dali Temple? Ha! Although the Dali Temple had no friendship with his mother, it did not mean that the people under her were also iron barrels. If the emperor dared to snatch him, he would make this person pay the price.

Le Xiaoyu did not expect that he would turn his face away in public. Looking at his back as he walked away, he was so angry that he could not speak for a long time. He comforted himself several times in his heart that he was still useful. It would not be too late to deal with him after dealing with Cen Geng. Only then did he calm down.

"Your Majesty..." Xian Qing didn't dare to breathe when Huang Guiqing was here. After the others left, Xian Qing begged with tears in her eyes, "In order to prove my innocence, I am willing to go to the Dali Temple to wait for the truth to be found out. However, I have a request before I leave. Please agree to it."

"What do you want, my dear?" Seeing the man she loved so humbled, Le Xiaoyu was really distressed. She only hated that her power was not stable now and she couldn't even protect the man she really loved.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask Your Majesty to allow me to see the princess. When I see that the princess is safe and sound, I will be relieved." When Xian Qing mentioned his daughter, his heart hurt like a knife, and his tears flowed even more.

He glared at Yuan Jun implicitly, hating that this man was useless and couldn't even protect a child. If he had known earlier, he would not have listened to the emperor's words. He should have kept Yi'er by his side to educate her, and she would not have suffered this.

"I promise you." It was just such a humble request, but Le Xiaoyu agreed immediately. He also understood his worries. This is the heart of a loving father. He is about to be in trouble, but he is not worried about his own safety, but only worried about his daughter.

Unlike someone who has been in the East Palace for so long, but has not thought of going to see the child.

"Your Majesty," Yang Yan, who did not have a fatherly heart, looked at her strangely, "do you really want this man who sent the concubine poisonous snacks to visit her? Xianqing is an important suspect in murdering the concubine. Are you not afraid of him again? Poison?"

"I believe him," Le Xiaoyu said without hesitation, "Xianqing is kind-hearted and would never do such a vicious thing. Besides, it would be too obvious to personally deliver poisonous cakes. Someone must have framed him. "

Tsk~~This emperor really doesn’t know how to hide it in front of him! She was not like this when Huang Guiqing was around before. Could it be that she was determined that the original owner's character would not be capable of conspiracy?

Isn't this a typical case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong? Pooh! Scumbag!

At this time, the imperial doctor happily came out to inform everyone that most of the poison on the princess's body had been removed, and she would wake up soon. Le Xiaoyu's face suddenly showed joy, and Xianqing couldn't help crying with joy, clasping her hands to the sky Thank you.

Yang Yan finished watching the good show and was too lazy to perform the drama of a loving father and a filial daughter. He yawned and stood up and said: "My illness has returned again. Since the princess is fine, I can rest assured that I can go back and rest."

After saying that, he didn't care about their reactions, just turned around and walked away.

Le Xiaoyu, who had just been overjoyed that her beloved daughter was safe, was ignored again. The joy on her face suddenly receded like a tide. Yuan Jun's attitude was like pouring cold water on her head on a cold day.

While she was awake, there was also a chill on her back. Now she could no longer deceive herself and had to start seriously considering whether he really knew the princess's life experience?

While the emperor was thinking about countermeasures in panic, Yang Yan had already returned to Quanyang Palace. The palace servant reported that Cen Jiatang Qing had handed over a letter asking for an audience. He directly replied that he would not see the guest and ordered someone to send him out.

In the original book, the Cen family was careless. Cen Geng, who relied on having a generalissimo, often acted arrogantly and arrogantly. When the liquidation came later, old accounts were revealed. Although in the end, it was still because of Cen Geng's downfall. But the family is not innocent either.

Yang Yan has experienced so many worlds, and in each life it can be said that he has stood at the pinnacle of power. He has followed the rules of the world and has never done whatever he wants. Naturally, he cannot allow them to ignore the law and do whatever they want.

It would be best if people like the Cen family could repent, but if they still persist in their obsession, mother and son would never need the so-called mother's family.

For several days in a row, the Cen family members went to the palace to pay their respects. On the fifth day, Yang Yan finally relaxed and met with the minister in Quanyang Palace. After a deep talk, the Cen family member was dripping with cold sweat.

I went back and had an explanation with the head of the house. That day, the head of the house beat my cousin Cen Zichen, locked her up to study, and forbade her to go out and wander around again. The other women were also restrained, and the custom of the Cen family was changed. One change.

After receiving the report, Yang Yan was very satisfied with their understanding. As long as the people in charge of the Cen family remained clear-headed, he would not mind helping them.

Shortly after the imperial concubine was poisoned that day, the emperor withdrew the guards guarding Quanyang Palace. Although he did not say it explicitly, the so-called ban on foot was actually in name only.

However, Yang Yan was still unwilling to leave the palace. Those who came to fawn over were all blocked by his orders. He also rejected the greetings from the ministers every day. Even Emperor Feng Chuyi and Fifteen followed the rules. He was supposed to rest in Yuanjun's room, but he declined on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Those ministers who did not know the reason thought that Yuan Jun was really ill. Even Huang Guiqing, who knew the cause and effect, was deceived and thought that he was seriously ill. He was so happy that he had a good appetite for several days.

After all, in his opinion, no servant would be willing to give up the opportunity to spend the night with the emperor, not to mention that he always knew that Yuan Jun really loved the emperor and would definitely not take the initiative to push her away.

Only Le Xiaoyu in the entire palace knew that Yuan Jun was not playing tricks with her, but really looked down on her.

When she first understood this, she was ashamed and angry, but she soon lost the energy to test how much Yuan Jun already knew. The Dali Temple cell accidentally leaked water, half of the prison was burned to the ground, and the criminals in the cell were Nearly a third died.

The cell where Xianqing originally lived was also burned down, but he was lucky enough to be moved to a different place by the Minister of Dali Temple before the fire broke out, so he escaped the disaster.

However, although he did not die in the flames, the commotion in the prison still frightened him a lot, and he was almost bullied by the prisoners who broke out of the cage. Fortunately, the Dali Temple Minister rescued him in time and he was not injured.

As soon as this incident came out, the emperor was furious. Why did Dali Temple suddenly catch fire? Moreover, the source of the fire was the prison where Xian Qing was located. She knew exactly who the culprit was.

But firstly, the other party's hands and feet were very clean without leaving any evidence. Secondly, she could still use the Prime Minister. Even if she had doubts in her heart, she could only turn a blind eye.

In the end, a group of irrelevant people were arrested, and the matter was over.

But Le Xiaoyu didn't dare to put Xianqing outside the palace anymore. She still had to stay under her nose to feel at ease.

Xianqing, who miraculously escaped death, was quickly taken back to the palace and still lived in his pleasant palace. However, the entrance to the palace was heavily guarded, and now he was under house arrest.

Even so, Huang Guiqing was still dissatisfied and came to find trouble every day. But now he was still his favored minister, and the people in the palace did not dare to disobey his orders. Xianqing was tortured by him.

He had complained to the emperor more than once, but most women did not understand how cruel the fights between otaku men were, and Le Xiaoyu was one of them.

She thought those were just minor fights and would not hurt anyone, so she advised him to be patient and wait until the big plan was completed before settling accounts with the emperor, which made Xianqing miserable.

Fortunately, this kind of life did not last long. The joint investigation of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple yielded results. On the day when the crown princess was poisoned, someone in the East Palace had touched the cakes he sent. Unfortunately, when they went to arrest him, the young servant committed suicide in front of everyone.

After several days of open and secret investigations, they finally found out that the instigator was actually Wang Shilang, who had always been inconspicuous in the palace. However, this time they were still a step slower. When they arrived at Wang Shilang's palace, he had hanged himself for fear of crime, leaving only a letter of confession.

Xian Qing finally cleared his name and regained his freedom, but he was not very happy. When the emperor came to visit him secretly that night, he could not help but ask: "Can't the emperor see that Minister Wang is just a scapegoat?"

"He is just a minister. What good will it do him to harm the princess? Besides, how can he be so capable as to bribe the servants of the East Palace? The emperor cannot fail to understand what these ministers can see clearly. Why don't you continue to investigate?"

Le Xiaoyu was asked with a headache. The beginning and the end of this matter were cleaned up very cleanly. All the clues were cut off when they found Minister Wang. It was impossible to investigate further.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that such a big thing could not be done by a small minister, but all the evidence pointed to him. Even if she was the emperor, she had to hastily close the case and let the real culprit behind the scenes go.

"Does it mean that our daughter has suffered so much in vain?" Xian Qing was overwhelmed with grief upon hearing this, and threw himself into her arms, tears streaming down his face.

"Don't worry, my dear, I will never let go of anyone who hurt Yi'er." Le Xiaoyu didn't dare to tell him that the Crown Princess' body was damaged, leaving her with serious sequelae, and she bore all the pain alone.

"It must have been done by Yu Shuwen, the swordsman!" Xian Qing frowned and said fiercely, "He has always coveted the position of Yuan Jun and has been eyeing the princess. This time he got the chance and took ruthless action."

"Cen Yangyan is also useless. He can't even protect a child. I shouldn't have listened to the emperor and handed my own daughter to him for raising. Otherwise, Yi'er wouldn't have suffered so much."

"It's better to let her stay with me. We are not greedy for the position of the princess. As long as she is safe and sound, it's fine."

He was full of complaints and accusations against Yuan Jun, but he didn't think about how many open and secret arrows Yuan Jun had blocked for Le Qianyi in the past few years, and he himself didn't even notice that the cakes he sent were tampered with. If his daughter was really left by his side, she wouldn't know if she could survive until now!

Le Xiaoyu was of course very clear about this, but she felt sorry for him and loved his daughter. Instead of blaming him, she comforted him with pain, and was not angry that he blamed himself too.

Xian Qing fell asleep slowly and peacefully under her comfort, but the emperor tossed and turned in bed. In order not to frighten her beloved man, she did not tell him one thing: she suspected that there might be someone else who attacked the princess this time.
