Chapter 187 Take It Down (One More)
"Put it..." Empress Dowager Yuan Subai's fingers pinched even tighter, almost crushing the string of Buddhist beads in her hand.
She wanted to say that Chu Yi was presumptuous, but was interrupted by an old and crisp female voice at the right time:
"Also."
Feng Yang strode towards this side, and everyone on the deck couldn't help but retreat to the two sides, making way for her.
Feng Yang had already learned from the servants that the emperor almost fell into the water, and his sharp eyes with a bit of suspicion quickly swept over the Empress Dowager Yuan and Chu You, but remained calm.
"Brothers and sisters, come and watch a play."
Feng Yang hooked his fingers at Queen Mother Yuan, and sat down on a grand teacher's chair beside the emperor, with an elegant and sassy posture.
A stage was set up in the cabin of the painting boat. At this moment, three or four actors with oily hair and pink noodles appeared on the stage, babbling and singing a very festive "Five Girls' Birthday", which contrasted with the tense and depressing atmosphere on the outer deck. contrast.
"..." Empress Dowager Yuan looked at Fengyang stiffly, her eyes wandering, and she forgot all of what she was going to say in an instant.
She is not afraid of anything, but Fengyang.
She hesitated for a moment, and then heard a faint sneer from the corner of Fengyang's lips.
This sneer was very light and low, but it made the Empress Dowager Yuan tremble subconsciously, her palms were wet with sweat, and the place where she had been whipped before began to ache again.
Empress Dowager Yuan sat stiffly for a few more breaths, then slowly got up, walked over slowly, and sat down on the other side of Fengyang, her deep and complicated eyes drifted to Chu Yi involuntarily.
Chu Yi still stood motionless near the broken guardrail, his robes fluttering in the wind, looking graceful and elegant, and his dark eyes were deep and boundless, with intense shadows surging.
The brocade-clothed guards divided into three groups, some entered the cabin, some went around to the other side of the deck, and some got off the painting boat, and searched the inside and outside of the painting boat carefully.
On the stage, the slow singing voices of men, women and children rang out interlacedly.
The deck outside the painting boat became more and more silent, and everyone else was silent.
At this moment, it seems that even the wind is still, it seems that the dark tide is raging, but it seems to be very calm.
Sitting on the chair, the emperor took a sip of the hot tea he had just brewed and sighed casually, "This play is well sung."
Gu Yanfei took the orange petals from a certain little hand, and smiled at the little girl in the wheelchair.
An Le looked away shyly, stuffed a bunch of orange petals into his mouth, and continued to make a small orange lantern out of the orange petals.
The little girl is so good! Gu Yanfei resisted the urge to rub her head, and suddenly thought of something.
She clapped her hands briskly, and fumbled from her left sleeve pocket with one hand, and found out another piece of pale yellow talisman paper written with red cinnabar, shook it, and said, "I only have this."
"What is this?!" The emperor put down the teacup and stared at the talisman curiously.
An Le also leaned over curiously, blinking those Ruifeng eyes that resembled Chu Yi.
Gu Yanfei clamped the talisman between two fingers, pointed to An Le's left hand with a smile, and said, "Stretch out your hand."
An Le obediently stretched out her left hand holding the orange peel bowl.
Gu Yanfei patted the talisman on the orange peel bowl in Anle's palm.
The next moment, a cluster of bright yellow flames ignited at the corner of the talisman seal, and the whole piece of talisman paper burned rapidly, turning into a colorful butterfly and gently resting in the orange peel bowl in Anle's palm.
The butterfly flapped its wings lightly, and a quiet fragrance came to the nostrils.
"It smells so good!" An Le's nose twitched, her eyes half-closed in intoxication, a bright smile appeared on her small melon seed face, and her pupils were also sparkling.
When the little girl was happy, her mouth became sweet, and she called Gu Yanfei affectionately: "Sister, this is really interesting!"
While speaking, the butterfly flew from the orange peel bowl in her palm to her fingertips, and as the butterfly's wings vibrated, the fragrance became more intense.
The little girl tilted her head, the silk flowers on the double bun trembled, her eyebrows and eyes curled up when she smiled, she was obedient, sweet and waxy, and she specially handed the butterfly to the emperor, with a slight expression on her face show off.
The daughter was happy, and the emperor was also happy, smiling with his beard.
Standing seven or eight feet away, Chu Yi quietly looked at the emperor, Gu Yanfei, and An Le. The violent beast in his heart gradually calmed down, and his eyes softened, as if he had been infected by their smiles. so-so.
The soft smile embellished the youth's brows and eyes.
He Lie, the commander of Jin Yiwei, walked over in stride, clasped his fists and responded to Chu Yi: "His Royal Highness, everyone has been captured."
The words were spoken sonorously and spread throughout the deck.
What? !
Chu You slightly opened his eyes with a complicated expression.
How long has it been since Chu Yi ordered the arrest?
I'm afraid I don't even have the time to make two cups of tea!
He could understand that the so-called "take them all" in He Lie's mouth certainly meant "all of them".
Chu Yi must have completely gathered Jin Yiwei, so Jin Yiwei can act so fast and ruthlessly.
And Chu Yi had only returned to Beijing from Nanyue for only three months.
Thinking of this, Chu You tightly held the armrest of the chair with one hand, and the corners of his lips were drawn into a straight line.
Jinyiwei was established by Emperor Taizu, and it was only held in the hands of Emperor Dajing. Even when the late emperor favored Chuyou's son when he was in power, he didn't give Jinyiwei to him.
Chu Yi gave He Lie a sideways look, and only uttered one word concisely: "Judgment." The voice was calm and breezy.
There was silence all around.
The sound of silk and bamboo and singing from the cabin building became more and more clear and audible in this silent environment, and the rhythm of silk and bamboo gradually accelerated, clanging.
But most of the people present had no intention of watching the show, and their eyes could not help but drift towards Chu Yi.
Empress Dowager Yuan drank tea slowly, her ruddy lips curled into a sneering sneer slightly behind the teacup.
Okay, let her watch the show, and she will "watch the play", which is very good.
She would like to see who Chu Yi plans to hand over these internal servants to be judged? !
Empress Dowager Yuan gently stroked the plum blossom relief pattern on the teacup with her fingertips, and took another sip of tea calmly.
According to the rules of the Dajing Dynasty, the inner court is not allowed to interfere with the affairs of the palace. Similarly, the imperial court is also not allowed to interfere with the inner court.
This is a dead end, and Chu Yi can only hand over these relevant people to the internal officials for interrogation. In the final analysis, the initiative of this case still has to fall into her hands.
She can interrogate as she wants;
Close the case however you want.
Like Chu Yi is now doing so much fighting in front of these honorable families, but there is a lot of thunder and rain, and in the end it just turns him into a joke, and makes the civil and military of the court look down on him.
Chu Yi, after all, he is just a brat who has not reached the crown. For the past eight years, he has been locked in the cage of South Vietnam like a canary. To stand up for himself? !
It's ridiculous!
