Chapter 41: Let her decide
Chapter 41 Let her decide
It was a court lady kneeling on the ground.
Seeing everyone looking at her, the maid bit her trembling lip, looked at the inner prison who was kneeling beside the prince, and said as clearly as possible: "When the slave and maid went to the Jiaotai Hall to deliver the wine, I happened to see the prince next to him. This little father-in-law! At first, the servants saw him hurriedly heading to the East Palace alone, but after a while, they saw him running back and forth!... But he just ran all the way back to the East Palace without delay. , But did not mention that he had turned back halfway, this...what is this not a lie?"
"There is such a thing!" Li Ji coldly swept to the inmate.
Turning back halfway but not saying it, this is obviously very suspicious.
After the inner jailer was taken aback, he squatted his head and said: "It's true! It's just...it's just that the slave didn't deliberately lie, but saw that His Royal Highness was in danger. In shock, he forgot this subtle matter for a while! The slave didn't go too far at the time. Seeing that there was a sudden wind in the garden, I was afraid that your Highness would catch a cold, so I turned back and inspected it, but..."
He said, his face changed for a while, not knowing what he had recalled.
Li Ji frowned and scolded: "Hurry up and make it clear!"
"Ke Nu was... I saw King King’s son talking with His Royal Highness at the time, and saw that His Royal Highness and the Prince seemed to have a good conversation. The slave thought that there were very few people who could speak the word... so he didn’t rush forward. disturb…"
Jing Wang is the brother of your majesty today, and the prince and prince are also real cousins.
Ran, even so, the inner supervisor's words still caused the surrounding atmosphere to suddenly become unpredictable.
This is equivalent to saying that before the accident, the prince had seen King King Shizi alone—
"Your Majesty..."
Li Ji's expression changed slightly, and he asked Qingming Emperor in a low voice, "Can you ask someone to ask the king to come and inquire about one or two?"
Even if there is no suspicion in respecting the prince’s son, the other party is most likely the last person he saw before the prince’s accident. It is reasonable and reasonable to call to ask about the situation at that time.
However, before this Emperor Xiang Qingming could nod his head in the future, he heard a surprised voice from the crowd: "This...this is impossible!"
A drunken teenager in Chinese clothes was shocked: "Your Majesty, my nephew has never seen your Royal Highness tonight!"
He just returned to the hall. He just heard the news of the prince’s cousin’s accident and hurried over to watch the excitement, but the excitement hasn’t been understood yet. Why did he suddenly get him involved? !
"You dog, you slander me when you open your mouth!" The young man was only sixteen or seventeen years old, angrily cursed at the inmate.
Emperor Qingming looked at the inmate with a solemn expression: "Can you see who that person is?"
"Respect the king and the son, the slave saw it with his own eyes...it can't be wrong!"
"you-"
Jing Wang Shizi stretched his finger to the other party, and when he was about to speak again, he suddenly heard a cold voice behind him: "According to the veteran's attention, before the banquet, Shizi drank half a pot of wine by himself, and then left the temple. Go, I've never seen it again-this period of time was exactly when the Crown Prince had an accident. I don't know where the prince went alone in these quarters of hours?"
Jing Wang Shizi stiffened upon hearing this, and looked back.
The person who speaks is about fifty years old, wears a first-grade civil official gown, with slightly concave cheeks, and a pair of sharp eyes reveals the color of insight.
This is Xia Tingzhen, the first assistant of the dynasty.
Under those eyes, Jing Wang Shizi's eyes dodged for a moment, "I...I had colic in my abdomen, so I left the meeting temporarily..."
"Can someone from the palace testify?" Xia Tingzhen asked.
"...I walked on a small path, and I have never met any palace man!"
Xu Mingyi frowned secretly.
Could it be that she guessed wrong, could the murderer be the king's son?
After all, the other party’s guilty conscience really meant a little bit of self-confidence.
At this moment, she suddenly saw the boy's fingers move almost imperceptibly in her peripheral vision.
Xu Mingyi's fingers trembled, the huge boulder in his heart suddenly fell, he was relieved, and his eyes suddenly filled with smiles.
Also aware of something, Wu Chao raised his head at this moment, rubbed his thin lips with the back of his hand, caught off guard, and met the girl's eyes full of joy.
Her expression hasn't changed in any way, only a pair of eyes is filled with joy and excitement that is suppressed with all his might.
He knew that she was not smiling at him, it was just the joy from the heart that saved a life, and he happened to be right in front of her right now-but even so, her eyes were facing each other, looking With those stars-like eyes, he seemed to be caught in her emotions inexplicably, and his heart was touched, and his eyes were also filled with a smile.
"Miss Xu, His Royal Highness—"
Wu Chao just spoke, but the smile in the eyes in front of him was swept away, at the same time, a slightly cool hand was pressed on his finger.
The Lord Zhen Guo was pressing his heart for the prince, and he needed to breathe for the prince, so he was on the same side as Xu Mingyi. Xu Mingyi kept squatting on the side for the convenience of the needle. He also maintained the posture of kneeling on one knee, and the two were separated. Quite close, under the cover of the wide sleeves, no one could see her pressing down and touching his fingers in a hurry.
Wu Chao suddenly, she only shook her head slightly insignificantly.
The soft palm that pressed his fingers also used a little force.
Someone looked at them.
"It seems that there is no possibility for His Royal Highness to wake up. Miss Xu should stop wasting her efforts and let her walk more decently." Wu Chao said solemnly.
I don’t know why she did this for the time being, but she saves people, and she decides.
Xu Mingyi retracted his finger with satisfaction.
Wu Chao then stood up.
At this time, only the girl sighed and said justice to Zhenguo: "Grandfather, forget it."
The town’s grandfather moved for a while, and patted his granddaughter’s arm with regret: "Just do your best."
He is not only talking about his granddaughter, but also about himself.
In fact, his arms were already too sore. What made him clenched his teeth was not the determination to save people, but the prestige and dignity that was gradually threatened by the crowd.
Hearing these words, there was a low sob all around again.
Sure enough, this girl is just messing around.
More eyes fell on King King Shizi.
Is the death of His Royal Highness the prince really related to respecting the prince?
Many officials' eyes gradually changed.
Respect the prince’s prince to attack the prince. Although it sounds too bold, but when you think about it, it’s not completely motivated...
In fact, in recent years, as courtiers are dissatisfied with the prince, some statements have come out from nowhere—
Thank you Lu Qinghan, Seventh Rainbow, OPPO Min, Xiu Xian and other cute rewards, thank you everyone for your recommendation tickets, these days people are working in my hometown, the update is usually at night, please forgive me?
