Chapter 485: No Right to Scapegot
Qi Yang knew that it would be difficult to persuade Murong He and the Murong family for a while, so he deliberately diverted the topic, pointed at Chu Wanwan and said, "You bad guy of unknown origin, my daughter is innocent by nature, and she was all brought bad by you. What is the purpose of deliberately approaching my daughter, and why do you blame my daughter for the murder of the Nine Emperor Princesses? ”
"Ridiculous, your daughter is innocent?" Chu Wanwan sneered and said indignantly: "Your daughter is more vicious than anyone else, all of this is her very bad and good, since the emperor announced the hunting, she has been following Murong Xuanji and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but now she is here to pretend to be innocent, your Qi family is so good at acting." ”
"No, she lied." Qi Fangfei nervously immediately opened her mouth to deny it, and explained to the emperor: "I have no grievances with the Nine Emperor Princesses, I really have no reason to want to kill her, but this person is different, she had a dispute with the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses before, but the quarrel that happened in the camp was seen by many people, and then once he was unconvinced, and he wanted to trouble the Nine Emperor Princesses when the Nine Emperor Princesses were alone, and as a result, he taught the Nine Emperor Princesses a lesson, so this person has a grudge against the Nine Emperor Princesses, She had absolute reasons to want to kill the Nine Emperor Princesses. ”
"Your Majesty, I believe in my daughter, I can use my head to guarantee that she will never kill the Nine Emperor Princesses, she must be instigated by others, and I ask the emperor to open up on the Internet." Qi Yang kowtowed heavily on the ground and kept begging the emperor.
"Qi Fangfei, don't frame me, it's not good for you if I die, even if I die, I will drag you to die together." Chu Wanwan was still shouting arrogantly at this time.
Qi Fangfei pretended to be scared and lowered her head, the tears in her eyes fell down, and any man would feel distressed when he saw it, except for the man of the Murong family.
"General Murong, please believe me, I am really innocent, although I usually don't walk around much with the Nine Emperor Princesses, but I won't kill her. Today is indeed that I want to hunt with the Nine Emperor Princesses, because the Nine Emperor Princesses' archery skills are very skillful, and I just want to learn archery with her, and I don't have the slightest intention of harming her. Qi Fangfei sobbed and looked at Murong He and explained.
"It's not me, it's not me who killed Murong Xuanji, it's it that she came to the edge of the cliff to catch a rabbit, so she stumbled and fell." Although Chu Wanwan resented Qi Fangfei's betrayal of her, now was not the time to deal with her, but to think of ways to help herself get out of such a predicament.
"You talk nonsense." Baoqing heard that Chu Wanwan had reversed the truth, and rushed over angrily to give Chu Wanwan a kick, and shouted angrily: "I saw you withdraw the young lady with my own eyes, do you still want to quibble?" ”
How could the arrogant Chu Wanwan endure Baoqing's heavy sleep, and forcefully wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, glaring at Baoqing fiercely, as if he was going to rush up and beat Baoqing hard anytime and anywhere.
"Your Majesty, the personal maid of the Nine Emperor Princesses also said that it was the man who pushed the Nine Emperor Princesses to fall off the cliff, and it has nothing to do with the eldest princess, please forgive the eldest princess for her innocence." Qi Yang took the opportunity to say.
"Not guilty. Qi Chengxiang thought too beautifully. Murong Xijie sneered and said, "As we said just now, even if the eldest princess is not the real murderer of the Nine Emperor Princesses, she is also half of the mastermind, and she must not be spared." ”
The emperor listened to the two parties arguing back and forth, and the fight was a little dizzy, and he shouted loudly: "Shut up for me, I have my own decision on this matter." ”
Seeing that the emperor was angry, even if everyone had resentment in their hearts, they all dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.
"You deceive people too much." Chu Wanwan shouted, "If you want to push the killing of Murong Xuanji on me alone, I won't let you succeed." Who made Murong Xuanji so arrogant and conceited, thinking that catching a rabbit would win me, it wasn't like he fell into a cliff with one foot. ”
The more Baoqing listened, the more angry she became, obviously she saw with her own eyes that it was Chu Wanwan who pushed Murong Xuanji down, but now she denied it, Baoqing couldn't bear the anger in her heart anymore, the kick just now couldn't satisfy the hatred in her heart, and she didn't care that the emperor and other important ministers of the court were there, she only wanted to avenge Murong Xuanji, and rushed to Chu Xuanwan again to teach her a hard lesson.
Chu Wanwan originally wanted to fight back, but her hands were firmly grasped by the guards, no matter how she broke free, she couldn't break free, on the other hand, even if she was free to fight Baoqing one-on-one, she couldn't win Baoqing, so she just kept being beaten, and she wailed all over the field.
Xuanyuan Mo has been following the emperor and them here, watching Xuanyuan Hao jump from his eyes, there are shocks, differences, and indescribable complicated feelings in his heart, when he saw Chu Wanwan being caught by the emperor's order, Xuanyuan Mo hesitated, knowing that he couldn't come forward, so as not to be implicated, especially now that Qi Yang and Qi Fangfei pointed all the spearheads at Chu Wanwan, Chu Wanwan couldn't get out, and Xuanyuan Mo couldn't come forward.
But when he heard Chu Wanwan's miserable scream, and the miserable appearance of being beaten by Baoqing, Xuanyuan Mo was a little reluctant, and the idea of saving her became stronger and stronger.
"Stop!" Finally, Xuanyuan Mo couldn't hold back any longer, jumped off the horse, came to the emperor, glanced at the embarrassed Chu Wanwan, and said to the emperor with a serious face: "Father, even if the prisoner violates the law, there should be the government to find out the truth and act in accordance with the law of the country." But now some people are lynching, and they beat people who have not yet been determined to have violated the law with blue noses and swollen faces. ”
Xuanyuan Mo glanced at Baoqing meaningfully, and finally looked at Murong He and the three brothers of the Murong family.
"The words of the third prince are a bit serious." Murong Xijun retorted with some seriousness: "Baoqing saw his master being killed with his own eyes, and it is understandable that he wants to avenge his master, as for her, whether it is Baoqing or the eldest princess, they have already said that the Nine Emperor Princesses were pushed down by her, how can you say that she did not break the law?" Could it be that because the people were brought by the three princes, the three princes have the heart to protect them? ”
Xuanyuan Mo smiled calmly and waved his hand and said: "Even if it is the person I brought, as long as I break the law, I will mercilessly let people arrest her, but is it too early to conclude that she is the murderer just by listening to the one-sided words of a maid?" Besides, I didn't say that she didn't break the law, but I haven't fully confirmed that the Nine Emperor Princesses were pushed down by her. ”
Xuanyuan Mo's words made Murong Xijun not easy to refute anything, but just looked at him coldly, wanting to see what purpose he suddenly stood up and spoke.
When Chu Wanwan saw Xuanyuan Mo appear, her mood suddenly became calm, as long as she was by her side, she was no longer afraid of anything, and her expression became much calmer.
"Let me ask you, did you push the Nine Emperor Princesses down at that time, or did the Nine Emperor Princesses stumble and fall down by themselves." Without giving others a chance to speak, Xuanyuan Mo suddenly walked up to Chu Wanwan and looked at her with a serious face and asked.
Chu Wanwan looked at Xuanyuan Mo and was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted to Xuanyuan Mo's meaning, and immediately said: "The Nine Emperor Princesses were not pushed down by me, it was she who accidentally stumbled and fell." ”
"You are talking nonsense, Miss was pushed down by you, not only I saw it, but also Miss Lan Ling'er Lan also saw it with her own eyes." Baoqing retorted excitedly.
Seeing that Chu Wanwan wanted to speak, Xuanyuan shook her head without a trace and motioned for her not to speak, then turned to look at Baoqing and asked, "Okay, since you said that you saw it with your own eyes, then let me ask you, you, and Miss Lan in your mouth, and even the eldest princess who is here now, did you see it here or in other places when you saw Prince Chu retreat the Nine Emperor Princesses?" Xuanyuan Mo pointed to the place where he was standing at his feet, and asked sharply as he pointed around.
"At that time, all three of us came on horseback, and in that direction, probably the place where the tree was, we saw the Nine Emperor Princesses being pushed down by her." Baoqing didn't think much about it, pointed to a place not far away and told Xuanyuan Mo the situation word for word.
Xuanyuan Mo nodded, and said calmly: "You were running on a horse, that place is still some distance from the edge of the cliff, why are you not sure that you are looking away, maybe as Chu Gongzi said, at that time, in order to catch a rabbit, the Nine Emperor Princesses did not find out how close they were to the edge of the cliff, so they would fall into the air with one foot, and Chu Gongzi reached out to hold the Nine Emperor Princesses, but you were one step too late to see it, and misunderstood that she pushed the Nine Emperor Princesses down, in fact, she was to save the Nine Emperor Princesses." ”
"Yes, that's right, that's what it looks like." Chu Wanwan heard Xuanyuan Mo's words arguing for herself, and couldn't help blurting out her agreement, "I really wanted to hold the Nine Emperor Princesses at the time, but I was still a step too late, and I could only watch the Nine Emperor Princesses fall from in front of me." Actually, I was very sad and sad. ”
"Third Prince, do you think of us as three-year-old children?" Murong He snorted coldly in dissatisfaction, looked at Xuanyuan Mo with a serious face and said, "All of this is what you guessed, so what evidence do you have to prove that she is not the murderer of Xuanji!" ”
"General, now the two sides insist on their own words, the maid said that she saw Chu Gongzi pushing the Nine Emperor Princesses off the cliff, but Chu Gongzi also said that she was actually saving the Nine Emperor Princesses before she was misunderstood by you, so who are you listening to now?" Xuanyuan Mo asked calmly.
"So the third prince believes in your person, is this Prince of Chu innocent?" Murong Xilang asked expressionlessly.
"Young Master Chu is the person I brought, so I naturally believe in his innocence." Xuanyuan Mo said very firmly, looking at the emperor who had not spoken, he suddenly knelt down in front of the emperor and said with a serious face: "Father, General Murong, compared to investigating the truth of the matter now, it doesn't matter whether Prince Chu is a murderer or not, the important thing is to find a way to send someone to get the Nine Emperor Concubines back, as well as the Nine Emperor Princes." Once the Nine Emperor Princesses are found, then the Nine Emperor Princesses are the parties, and only she knows the truth of the matter, and it will be clear who is true and who is false. ”
Although Murong He didn't want to be persuaded by Xuanyuan Mo, what he said did make some sense, and compared to other people, Murong He naturally hoped to find Murong Xuanji as soon as possible, as long as Murong Xuanji was safe and sound, he could not hold Chu Wanwan and Qi Fangfei responsible.
