Chapter 379 General's Childhood Sweetheart 31
No one expected that Pei Lin would not give up even at this point.
"General Pei! You've been bewitched by that witch! How do you know it's not the Song family girl in there? The palace maid saw it with her own eyes!"
Hearing them calling Song Jiao a witch, Pei Lin's eyes darkened. He looked at Emperor Tianqi and said, "I am willing to use my own head as a guarantee. If Song Jiao is really the one in there, I will bear all the blame!"
The old minister who was speaking was so angry that his beard trembled: "How can you bear the responsibility?"
Pei Lin glanced at the man who had spoken: "Hand over the military token, resign from your official position, and leave the court. Is that enough?"
The old minister choked.
Emperor Tianqi's face darkened: "Pei Lin, do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know." Pei Lin's expression remained unchanged, neither humble nor arrogant: "I am willing to bear all consequences!"
"Good! Very good!" Emperor Tianqi was truly irritated by Pei Lin. He was actually willing to hand over his military command and even resign from his post just for Song Jiao!
So in Pei Lin's eyes, the entire Tianqi is not as good as Song Jiao!
Emperor Tianqi was so angry that he threw his sleeves and said, "Someone, open this door for me!!"
The guard behind him heard what was said and pushed the door open. The already shameful sound fell even more clearly into everyone's ears...
At the same time, a puzzled female voice sounded: "Brother Lin, why are you here?"
Everyone subconsciously looked over, only to see Song Jiao walking briskly over, then to Pei Lin's side, looking incredibly obedient: "Brother Lin, are you here to see me?"
Everyone looked at Song Jiao who suddenly appeared in shock, stunned.
"Song Jiao!!" Su Linger couldn't help but screamed when she saw her: "Why are you here?!"
Shouldn't she be in the house?!
Su Linger turned around and glared at Linglong who was being held down. Didn’t she say that Song Jiao was having an affair with someone?!
Linglong's legs couldn't help but tremble under the glare, and her heart kept sinking...
how so?
How could this happen? Why wasn't Song Jiao in the bedroom?
Who are those man and woman making love in that room?!
Linglong felt dizzy and almost fainted on the spot.
When Song Jiao heard Su Linger's words, he frowned in confusion: "What do you mean, Miss Su? Isn't it normal for me to be here?"
After that, Song Jiao told the story of how she was accidentally splashed with wine by a palace maid and was brought by Princess Xiyue to change clothes. She drank too much and felt a little dizzy, so she rested in the backyard for a while. Unexpectedly, she rested for too long.
After Song Jiao finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
She tugged at Pei Lin's sleeve nervously, and whispered in fear: "Brother Lin, did Jiao'er get into trouble?"
"No." Pei Lin touched her head and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm glad you're okay."
But since the person in the room was not Song Jiao, then who was it?
Everyone was thinking about this question. Who else would be so bold as to do such a thing in the palace?
At this moment, Song Jiao looked at Linglong who was being pressed down and exclaimed in confusion: "Aren't you the maidservant beside Princess Xiyue? What happened? Where is Princess Xiyue? I haven't thanked her properly yet!"
Song Jiao's words reminded everyone and they suddenly remembered.
yes! !
Why haven't I seen Princess Xiyue yet?
Where is she? ?
Just as everyone was wondering where Princess Xiyue had gone, someone stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, today is General Pei's celebration banquet. It's an auspicious day..."
"Since Miss Song has been slandered, it is best to drag the two people out of the room and deal with them as soon as possible, so as to prevent the news from getting out and damaging the royal family's reputation and implicating Miss Song."
Good job!!
Is this a bargain?
The faces of the old ministers who had just forced Pei Lin to scold Song Jiao were all green. It seemed that they had completely offended Pei Lin, and this man saw an opportunity to come up and criticize him after the fact!
Upon hearing this, the others no longer cared about Princess Xiyue's whereabouts. They all bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you should give an explanation to General Pei and Miss Song on this matter!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, since this matter has nothing to do with Miss Song, it must be the palace maids and guards who can't stand the loneliness. I hope Your Majesty can punish the two culprits."
Everyone nodded immediately.
Not only them, but Emperor Tianqi also thought so. After all, who else except the palace maids and guards would do such a thing?
He raised his hand and ordered people to drag the people inside out.
The guard received the order and entered the room.
Then, a scream was heard: "Let me go! How dare you do this to me, you bastards!!"
Everyone looked at each other when they heard the voice.
Why do they feel that this voice is familiar, as if they have heard it somewhere before...
Not only them, but Emperor Tianqi also noticed something was wrong.
The next second, his expression changed suddenly.
However, it was too late to stop the incident. Two guards had already dragged the adulterous couple out.
They were interrupted midway, so they didn't have time to put on their clothes.
Princess Xiyue's heart sank the moment she was thrown out. She looked at Emperor Tianqi's extremely gloomy face and her body almost shook like a sieve: "Father...Father..."
For a moment, everything was silent.
Everyone was dumbfounded, their eyes wide open but unable to make a sound.
It seemed as if everything was frozen in time.
No one could have imagined that what was originally thought to be a palace maid or guard who couldn't stand the loneliness and had an affair turned out to be Princess Xiyue!!!
No one dared to speak.
"You bastard!!"
Finally, Emperor Tianqi's fierce slap broke the eerie silence, and Princess Xiyue was knocked directly to the doorstep.
Song Jiaoguang felt so much pain when he heard that sound.
“Father, Father…” Princess Xiyue used her hands and feet to crawl to the feet of Emperor Tianqi, crying loudly: “Your Highness has been framed!!”
She pointed at Song Jiao and said bitterly: "It's her! It was Song Jiao who hurt me!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone and Emperor Tianqi subconsciously cast their gloomy gazes on Song Jiao.
"Princess." Song Jiao looked at her in disbelief. "I have no grudge against you. Why are you framing me like this?"
"Song Jiao!!" Princess Xiyue glared at her resentfully, her voice shrill: "Didn't you replace that glass of wine?"
Song Jiao already knew there was something wrong with the wine!!
She deliberately yelled to Su Ling'er that there was a mouse at her feet, and then replaced the wine while she and the others weren't paying attention! !
It was all Song Jiao's fault. It was Song Jiao who harmed her! !
She lost her virginity to a lowly guard! !
If Xiyue used to hate Song Jiao for taking Pei Lin away, now she wanted to skin her alive and eat her alive!
"I did change it." The accused Song Jiao admitted generously, blinking her eyes: "But is there any problem with me changing the wine? The wine was poured for me by the princess herself..."
Song Jiao looked puzzled. "Or is changing the wine glass a serious crime? If the wine the princess poured is fine, why are you afraid of me changing it?"
Princess Xiyue choked.
I couldn't respond for a moment.
Everyone standing here is not a fool, and by now they have basically understood what happened.
Princess Xiyue went to toast Song Jiao with wine. The cup given to Song Jiao was drugged, but unexpectedly, Song Jiao replaced it with another cup, and she fell into the trap herself.
This maid was probably arranged in advance to deliberately lure them over.
Everyone else has figured it out, so how could Emperor Tianqi not know the twists and turns involved?
How could he have given birth to such a stupid daughter?!
No wonder Pei Lin looked down on it!!
He closed his eyes and looked at the guard who had been dragged out and dared not say a word from beginning to end. A deep disdain flashed in his eyes: "Who do you serve? What's your name?"
The guard's heart sank, and he kowtowed hurriedly, stumbling back, "Your Majesty, I work for the Liuyun Palace, my name is Xiaoliu..."
"Okay, Xiaoliu," Emperor Tianqi said coldly, "Are you willing to become a prince consort and marry the princess?"
Everyone was stunned, even Song Jiao couldn't help but look up at Emperor Tianqi.
He came up with a solution to the problem in just a dozen seconds. He is truly worthy of being the king of a country.
Princess Xiyue had committed adultery and was seen by so many people. It is impossible for her to marry into a noble and scholarly family again. Marrying this guard is the best choice at the moment. He is easy to control and there is no need to worry about him doing bad things to Princess Xiyue.
However, the guard Xiaoliu was so stunned by this unexpected gift that he was unable to react for a long time.
Marry...marry a princess?
Emperor Tianqi said impatiently: "If you don't agree, what you did today will be a capital crime!"
Xiao Liu's face turned pale, and then he nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I am willing! I am willing! I will definitely treat the princess well in the future!!"
"No!" Princess Xiyue reacted and burst into tears: "Father! I don't want to marry him! Father!"
She is Princess Tianqi!!
How could she marry a guard?!
She is going to marry Pei Lin!!
However, no matter how she resisted or cried, it was of no use. Emperor Tianqi issued an edict on the spot, appointing Xiaoliu as the son-in-law of the emperor.
"Come here!" Emperor Tianqi waved his hand and said coldly: "Send Princess Xiyue back to the palace. She is not allowed to take a single step out of the palace before she gets married!"
Xiyue still tried to struggle and beg Emperor Tianqi to withdraw the order, but Emperor Tianqi had already had her taken away, obviously not wanting to look at her again.
After this incident, Emperor Tianqi no longer had the energy to host the palace banquet.
He glanced at Linglong lying on the ground and looked at Pei Lin: "I'm a little tired. You can handle the rest."
After saying that, he glanced at Song Jiao coldly and turned away.
Pei Lin: "Farewell, Your Majesty."
The emperor and the princess were gone. Linglong knew she was finished. She lay on the ground, trembling all over, and knelt down to beg for mercy from Pei Lin: "Pei... General Pei, I know I was wrong... All of this is—"
Before he could finish his words, his throat was cut off by a sword.
The blood splattered in front of Su Linger, frightening her so much that she fainted with her eyes wide open.
Song Jiao didn't expect Pei Lin to be so decisive and kill Linglong directly, and he was a little slow to react.
Pei Lin ordered his men to drag Linglong's body away and dispose of it. He glanced at the crowd calmly: "Today's incident concerns the dignity of the royal family. I hope you will not spread it."
The others didn't dare to speak, and hurriedly bowed: "Of course, of course, General Pei, don't worry."
Pei Lin nodded, and then wanted to hold Song Jiao's hand.
Song Jiao looked at his hand and subconsciously dodged it.
Pei Lin paused and looked up at her.
Song Jiao also knew that her actions just now were a bit unscrupulous. Pei Lin killed Linglong because she wanted to slander and harm herself.
Pei Lin was a general, and killing people was a common thing for him. She knew this when she was at the border, but...
After all, she is still a modern person at heart!!
She was still a little scared when someone who had just killed someone held her hand. QAQ
The woman cleared her throat, and pretended to stroke the hair beside her ear with her hand that avoided Pei Lin. She looked around with her eyes rolling around but didn't dare to look at him.
The man's eyes darkened completely.
-
The carriage returning to the general's mansion was not only eerily quiet, but the air pressure was also frighteningly low.
I don’t know if the horses outside were affected by the low pressure inside, but they ran so fast.
The carriage jolted violently as if it had run over something.
Song Jiao lost his balance and fell forward.
Just when she thought she was finished, an arm appeared out of nowhere and broke her fall.
——It was Pei Lin who was sitting opposite.
Song Jiao looked at the man holding her arm and quickly sat down. Just as she was about to let him go, Pei Lin's voice suddenly rang out coldly: "What? Are you planning to dodge again?"
Song Jiao: “…”
It had been a while since she left the palace, and the fear in her heart had long since faded away.
Song Jiao knew that Pei Lin was still angry because she avoided holding his hand, but it was indeed her fault.
Because no matter how scary Pei Lin was in the eyes of others, he had never hurt her and had even always protected her.
The woman stood up and took the initiative to sit next to him, and took Pei Lin's arm affectionately: "Brother Lin, Jiao'er was wrong..."
Pei Lin didn't say anything, his face still cold.
Song Jiao looked at his expression and explained in a low voice: "I was just a little scared just now, I didn't mean to avoid you..."
“…”
Still no response.
Song Jiao gritted her teeth and sat directly on Pei Lin's lap.
Pei Lin was caught off guard by her action, but he subconsciously held her waist to prevent her from falling.
"Brother Lin." Song Jiao took the opportunity to hook his neck: "Please pay attention to me."
The woman's body was extremely soft and had a girlish fragrance. Pei Lin was full of vigor and blood, so how could he bear her like this? His face turned cold and he said, "Song Jiao, get out."
"I won't." She refused without a second thought, even going so far as to twist in his arms.
Pei Lin's eyes darkened: "Do you know how to be ashamed?"
"I know." She looked at him dimly, looking quite aggrieved: "But I'm afraid you'll be angry..."
"I know I was wrong today, but I'm a weak woman. I've never seen anything like this before. I'm afraid too..."
Pei Lin: "Are you not afraid now?"
Song Jiao shook her head obediently: "I'm not afraid anymore, because I know that no matter how fierce Brother Lin is, he won't hurt me."
Listen, listen.
She was the one who was afraid, and she is also the one who comes to speak well of her.
She was the only one who could say everything, good or bad, but he couldn't do anything to her.
Pei Lin wondered what Song Jiao looked like and why she was so attractive.
