Chapter 171: Revenge (2)
The prince grabbed Li Siyu's wrist tightly and snatched the hairpin from her hand with his other hand.
"I know you have a lot of hairpins, but you don't need to give them to me because I don't need them." The prince didn't seem to care about the disrespect she had just given him. He knew that she had murderous intentions towards him just now, but he pretended not to know.
Li Siyu had a strong hatred in her eyes, and she said, "Who wants to send you hairpins?" "What she wants is his life.
There is no sharp weapon on the body except for the hairpin that stretches out. So Li Siyu reached out to snatch the hairpin.
The prince said: "Since Xiaoyu is reluctant to give up this hairpin, then return it to you!" As he spoke, he inserted the hairpin into Li Siyu's hair.
Li Siyu didn't expect the prince to return the hairpin to her so easily, but she was a little surprised. She didn't believe that the prince couldn't see that she was going to kill him just now. Now that he can see it, why would he return the murder weapon to her?
Li Siyu looked at Pan Jie, who was pointing a sword at her, and instantly understood that the prince was not afraid at all. With Pan Jie here, she can't hurt the prince at all.
Seeing Li Siyu looking at Pan Jie, the prince said, "Pan Jie, you go down first, don't scare Miss Xiaoyu." And remember what I told you. β
He remembered that the prince had said that he should not hurt her at any time.
Pan Jie was a little reluctant, but he had to obey the prince's orders. He gave Li Siyu a warning look, and then reluctantly retreated.
Li Siyu had the urge to pull out her hairpin and assassinate the prince again, but she knew that the prince had already taken precautions, and her kung fu was not as good as the prince, so she would definitely not be able to succeed. So she suppressed this idea of herself.
"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince idle?" Li Siyu issued an eviction order. She was afraid that if she stayed with the prince any longer, she would not be able to control her feelings.
The prince said: "This prince's daily itinerary is full. Naturally very busy. However, no matter how busy you are, you still have time to accompany the beauty. At first sight, I think you are beautiful, beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Now I think you are more and more beautiful. β
He was telling the truth. But when the truth comes out of his mouth, it always feels improper.
Li Siyu said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really getting better and better at talking. You say that you are the prince of a country. Okay, I didn't learn, I learned some intrigue and flamboyance. "Actually, her focus is on intrigue.
It seems that she really doesn't have a good impression of him. That's right, for Li Siyu, the prince is also the murderer of Cao An, she naturally doesn't like him, not only does she not like him, but she hates him to the core.
Pan Jie went and returned with a piece of news that surprised Li Siyu: the emperor wanted to see her.
Why did the emperor see her at this time?
The crown prince frowned. What is the emperor's intention in summoning her at this time? Could it be because of Ouyang Chengming's matter?
Li Siyu followed the prince to the palace with questions and apprehension.
This time to meet the emperor Li Siyu was not as nervous as the last time. The emperor looked at Li Siyu, who was kneeling on the ground, and then said to the prince: "Why did Ouyang Chengming commit suicide in fear of sin?" β
The prince said: "Maybe he feels sorry for the Cao family!" After all, Miss Cao Er spoiled his child. He knew that he was guilty of sin, and he had no shame to face the unborn child. β
Ouyang Chengming killed his child's grandparents and grandmothers, so naturally he had no shame to see him. Therefore, the prince's explanation is reasonable.
Li Siyu saw that the emperor was asking the prince a question. I didn't mean to get her up, and I felt a little bad in my heart. Looking at the emperor's meaning, this is to embarrass her.
But where did she offend the emperor and punish her for kneeling?
The emperor thought for a moment and then said, "Did Ouyang Chengming say that he had any accomplices in this matter?" β
The prince said: "Erchen has interrogated him. He said he was the only one who did it. Nothing to do with others, he said he had no accomplices. β
The emperor said: "He said that he had no accomplices, and he did it alone, so what do you think?" β
The prince said: "Erchen thinks he is lying, he must have accomplices." And he did it on the orders of others. β
The emperor said: "Then who do you think will instruct him to do this?" β
The prince thought for a moment, "Erchen doesn't know. β
He guessed that his father was suspicious of him.
The emperor glanced at Li Siyu again, and then said, "Xiaoyu, I heard that the prince once begged to marry you as the crown princess on the street." And you refused, but is there such a thing? β
How did this get to my father's ears? The prince felt like he had walked into a big trap.
Li Siyu could hear that the emperor's tone was not good. But she can't lie about this matter, because the emperor asked this back, which proves that he has a clear understanding of the matter. Besides, everyone knows about that incident, and it's not surprising that the emperor knows about it. It's just that she doesn't know what the emperor's purpose is for turning over this matter at this time? After all, it's been more than half a year since this happened.
Li Siyu said respectfully: "But there is such a thing." Before she understood the emperor's intentions, she decided to cherish words like gold, because it was not easy to make mistakes if she said less.
The emperor waited for a while, but he didn't see any other movements from Li Siyu, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange, didn't she plan to explain a thing or two about this matter?
The emperor continued to ask, "And then? β
Li Siyu looked up at the emperor and said with some confusion: "Then what?" β
The emperor frowned, "I'm asking you, and then what?" β
Li Siyu suddenly cried, which surprised the emperor and the crown prince.
Li Siyu said while crying: "Then the folk girl went to the South China Sea to find good medicine for her fiancΓ© Cao An, and then she was going to marry Cao An, and then Cao An was killed by the prince with his troops." She burst into tears and said pitifully.
Her words sound very reminiscent, because she rejected the prince's pursuit of her, and the prince held a grudge, so the prince killed her fiancΓ© on the day she got married.
The emperor said: "Ouyang Chengming's confession said that the reason why he framed the Cao family was because he loved you and wanted to prevent you from marrying Cao An. What do you think about this? β
Is the emperor trying a case?
Li Siyu said: "The folk girl feels that this reason is not sufficient. Since the emperor is trying the case, then she will answer well.
"The folk girl thinks that if it is really to prevent the folk girl from marrying Cao An, Ouyang Chengming will not be able to do such a thing. Because Cao Hou is his father-in-law no matter what he says, framing his father-in-law's family and letting his family be beheaded all over the house, if there is no good reason for such a vicious thing, Ouyang Chengming will never do it. β
The emperor looked at Li Siyu with interest, "Then what do you think is a sufficient reason for this?" β
Li Siyu raised his head and looked at the emperor, and said word by word: "The struggle between the parties and the throne." β
The faces of the crown prince and the emperor changed at the same time.
It is absolutely taboo to mention partisan disputes and battles for the throne in front of the emperor.
The crown prince immediately knelt down and said: "Back to my father, Miss Xiaoyu has just lost her fiancΓ© and suffered a heavy blow, please don't take her nonsense to heart." β
