Chapter 823 This man is so arrogant!
The whole hall was filled with an incessant noise, which gave Emperor Qiwen a headache.
These days, he always felt that he had headaches frequently, and he didn't know if it was because he was tired.
"okay!!"
As soon as a faint, slightly impatient voice came out, the noisy hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone shut their mouths tightly, bowed and nodded, fearing that they would be noticed by the emperor.
"Seventh Brother, keep it simple! I don't have that much time to waste with you!"
He now has a splitting headache and just wants to go back to the palace to rest early!
Baili Moqing noticed that something was wrong with him, but he just thought that he was angry.
He didn't take it seriously and continued, "Ninth brother, if I had known about the existence of the Listening Dagger and had made an identical one to kill you, then when I was accused of murder, why didn't I use this incident as a defense?"
"Why would you poison me and frame me, ruining my reputation and forcing me into exile?"
Baili Moyan's expression changed slightly, and there was fear and guilt in his eyes.
"Regarding what Ninth Brother said about the authenticity of the Diting dagger, as long as we take out the dagger in Father's palace and compare it, we will naturally be able to distinguish which is real and which is fake."
"It's a coincidence that the Queen knew where the dagger was, so she brought it out when she left the palace today."
Then Yang Cai walked out and handed the dagger in his hand to Baili Moqing.
Emperor Qiwen's eyes were filled with danger, and the murderous intent in his body was almost surging out of the palace!
He couldn't help but sneer. His palace was about to become the queen's back garden!
Baili Moqing didn't take it, but asked him to pass it to Zhu Guangzheng.
Zhu Guangzheng was well-known for his incorruptibility. In the court, he was not afraid of anyone and did not take sides with anyone. He even refuted Grand Tutor Zhu Heng in public!
Zhu Heng is a role model and example for scholars all over the world, but he still doesn't give him any face! Therefore, Zhu Guang is still quite convincing in the hearts of all officials.
"Master Zhu has never seen a real Diting Dagger, so it should be difficult to distinguish the real from the fake."
"However, I have invited a witness who can help you verify the truth."
After saying that, a person walked in from outside the hall.
He was handsome and elegant, with a calm and reserved temperament, like the bright moon in the sky, with a bit of mystery.
There are a few strands of silver in his temples and his eyes are filled with the accumulation of time, making him stand out from the crowd at a glance.
The first thing he did when he came in was to look at the old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years.
After seeing her, the depth in his eyes softened slightly, but still with a hint of deliberate distance.
The leader of Qianji Pavilion, Murong Lian.
"Your Majesty, it's been many years since we last met. How are you?" He said in a light voice. In his seemingly calm tone, there was actually a hint of displeasure.
When Emperor Qiwen saw him, he stood up from his chair.
That face showed a feeling of humiliation of being cuckolded.
"Murong Lian, you actually dare to show up!!"
"Why not?" He stood there, his eyes meeting Emperor Qiwen's, his aura no less imposing than that of the emperor opposite him.
Qianji Pavilion also has a top status in the martial arts world.
Although it is said that the whole world belongs to the king, he has the confidence to ensure that Qianji Pavilion is not within Baili Fengjue's "king's territory"!
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten the promise you made when Qianji Pavilion helped you ascend the throne?"
"Shut up!" Emperor Qiwen took a few steps forward excitedly, with murderous aura all over his body, as if he wanted to tear the person opposite him to pieces.
Back then, Murong Lian helped him ascend the throne, and his only request was that he treat Su Wei well and never betray her.
However, he had already given her the throne of queen, and even after what happened that year, he had never thought of taking her place!
"You've committed such a shameful act, and yet you still dare to ask for my promise? Haven't I been kind and righteous enough to you?"
"Scandalous incident?" Murong Lian took two steps forward and asked calmly, "Which 'scandalous incident' is the emperor referring to?"
Seeing Murong Lian's calm and composed appearance, Emperor Qiwen became furious.
"Do you still want me to tell you about that shameful thing in front of all the officials in the court?"
"You have no shame, but I still have some! The entire royal family still has some dignity!!"
His excitement, as well as the anger and embarrassment in his words, made the ministers speculate about the identity of the visitor.
"Could this person be the 'outsider' who had an affair with the Queen?"
"Of course it is! They've come right before the Emperor, how could it be fake? Didn't you see how furious the Emperor is?"
"How morally corrupt the world has become! How could the Queen, as the mother of a nation, actually do such a thing! She is simply dissolute!"
……
The harsh and unpleasant sound reached the center of the hall, causing the faint smile on Murong Lian's face to freeze into ice in an instant.
The next moment, a crabapple dart appeared in the air and flew towards the person who insulted and mocked the queen.
"boom!!"
A royal blue figure flew backwards and hit the stone wall behind it hard, and then a muffled groan was heard.
"Master Qin!!"
It was Qin Liang from the Ninth Prince's faction. It was he who had previously started the quarrel with Liu Zhengwen, who supported Baili Moqing.
When the officials nearby went to check, they found that Qin Liang had fainted.
"How dare you kill someone in public before the Emperor!"
Someone scolded loudly, but Murong Lian ignored him and stared coldly at Baili Fengjue.
"Your Majesty, as the Emperor, the ruler of a country, your wife, the Empress, has been insulted in this way. I, the Pavilion Master, will teach you a lesson. You should have no objection, right?"
Shu He was behind the queen and was indeed surprised by Murong Lian.
If we were to ask who in the world today would dare to speak to Emperor Qiwen like this, he would probably be the only one!
This man is so arrogant!
Looking at Emperor Qiwen again, his face had turned purple!
Judging from the current situation, Emperor Qiwen is clearly at a disadvantage when facing Murong Lian.
Looking at the queen again, her expression was as calm as usual. In fact, from the moment Murong Lian came in until now, her expression and eyes had not changed at all.
It was as if this Murong Lian was a person who had nothing to do with her.
Shu He felt very strange. Weren't they once friends for life and death? Why did the Queen show no emotion when she saw her old friend again?
Baili Moyan's face darkened as he shouted, "How dare you assassinate an imperial official! Come, arrest him!"
That Qin Liang is his man!
"Ninth Prince, there's no need to get excited!"
Murong Lian looked at Baili Moyan again, and said in a lazy and casual voice, "He is not dead. This Pavilion Master is just trying to teach those who have dirty mouths how to shut up!"
After saying this, he looked towards Emperor Qiwen, his tone arrogant and cold, with a hint of uncomfortable reprimand.
"Baili Fengjue, you've been in this position for too long! So long that it's made you arrogant and proud, and even made you lose yourself, your confidence, and even your sanity."
"How dare you, a commoner, address His Majesty by his name! How dare you!"
When some officials heard the four words "Baili Fengjue", they felt their defenses were obviously broken and they couldn't help but shout out in anger.
But Murong Lian simply ignored the "barking" of those people and just stared at Emperor Qiwen and continued speaking.
"I know what you're doubting, but ask yourself, do you really believe what they said?"
"Or was it your pride as the 'best person in the world' that was at work all along, preventing you from accepting and letting go of certain things that happened in the past, so you deceived yourself and believed those groundless rumors?"
