"This wound is proof!" Shan Lin said and lifted the gauze wrapped around his arm, and a clear blood mark was revealed, although the wound was not deep, but it was still oozing with blood beads.

Ruoan was shocked, she had not had physical contact with Shan Lin, where did this injury come from? I guess I did it deliberately to frame myself...... Ruoan straightened his waist and said confidently: "I didn't make this injury!" Slaves and maids are wronged! Please also ask the emperor to take a look! ”

"Still quibbling, this injury is clearly caused by your surprise attack with a silver hairpin, but fortunately, I reacted quickly and escaped the catastrophe. Your Majesty, she is a little palace maid, what grievances do you have with me to do this? Presumably this matter is not that simple, someone must be behind the scenes, wanting to take my life! I waited thousands of miles to come here, to worship the lord of the country, but when I encountered this incident, I asked the emperor to be the master for us......" Shan Lin said aggressively, bowing respectfully.

Ruo'an was stunned, she didn't expect Shan Lin to be so shameless and shameless to shout to catch a thief and beat a rake, she couldn't be wronged like this, Ruo'an knelt forward and walked a few steps forward and said: "The emperor Mingjian!" That's not how it happened! Please also listen to the slave and maid justify! ”

The emperor frowned and replied impatiently: "What else do you have to say?" ”

"The emperor Mingjian, the slave maid got lost in the garden, strayed into the bamboo forest, and met His Royal Highness Shan Lin was having fun with the palace maid, in order to seal the slave's mouth, he started a killing machine, so he framed the slave and maid so far, and asked the emperor to investigate!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone whispered, this is a corrupt and ethical thing to have a private meeting with the palace maid, no matter who can be so lawless, the emperor glanced at Ruoan and asked, "Do you have evidence?" ”

"The slave has a witness!" Ruo An suddenly thought of Leng Yang, and hurriedly said: "When His Royal Highness Shan Lin sent someone to kill the slave maid, His Royal Highness Leng Yang happened to pass by and rescued the slave and maid, if the emperor doesn't believe it, you can ask the second highness!" ”

"Father! Children can testify! ”

As soon as Ruo'an turned around, he saw Leng Yang striding in and seeing him coming, he was overjoyed. Leng Yang walked past her, nodded at her slightly, and signaled to her to relax, he would help her, and then knelt on the ground and saluted the emperor.

"Pingshen, is the emperor going to testify for Ni Ruoan?"

"Exactly, halfway through the banquet, Erchen was bored and went out for a walk, heard someone calling for help, went deep into the bamboo forest to check, and saw that the two men in black almost wanted to kill Ruo'an, Erchen came to the rescue, and after escaping, he also sent guards to chase the two!"

"Oh? Did the man get caught? ”

"Uh...... The martial arts of the two are extremely high, and they are gone......" Leng Yang bowed his head and responded.

"Hmph, there is no basis for empty words, Second Highness, what is your relationship with this Ruo'an, to defend her like this, it is clear that she hurt this prince with a silver hairpin! Do you still have to defend her? Shan Lin retorted.

"You!" Leng Yang was in a hurry, seeing his arrogant appearance, he really wanted to step forward and give him a punch! But at this time in the main hall, he could only clench his fists and endure ...... Patience, patience......

"Yang'er, you said that you saw Ruo'an entangled with two black-clothed people, have you ever seen His Royal Highness Shan Lin?" The queen mother, who had been sitting on the side and had not spoken, opened her mouth at this time, Ruo'an's heart trembled, this queen mother was already hostile to herself, so it was good that she didn't speak, and this time she started to interrogate, obviously not good for herself.

"After returning to my mother...... At that time, the light in the bamboo forest was very dim, and Erchen fought with those two......"

"Yang'er! The queen asks if you have seen it or not! Don't talk about other ......" The queen mother interrupted Leng Yang's words, and Leng Yang responded tightly in his heart: "I haven't seen Prince Shan Lin......" As soon as these words came out, Leng Yang immediately understood the intention of the queen mother, such a testimony is the most unfavorable to Ruo'an!

Ruo'an on the side secretly cursed in her heart, this queen mother is really targeting herself, this is good, what Leng Yang can prove is that he was chased and killed by the man in black, and the assassination of Shan Lin has no clue......

The queen mother sneered: "Since the emperor didn't see Prince Shan Lin, how can she guarantee Ruo'an that she didn't stab the prince before?" ”

"I ......" Leng Yang was speechless, he didn't know how to answer, Leng Chen, who had been watching from the sidelines, also pinched a sweat for the two of them at this time, this Leng Yang's temper was too straight, and it was easy to be led by the queen's mother.

"Ruoan, the matter has come to this, do you have anything to prove your innocence?" The queen teased.

"The maid of the palace...... She has been strangled to death by His Royal Highness Shan Lin, as long as I find her body, I can clarify my innocence......" Ruoan thought about it, and it seemed that there was nothing else to prove himself except for this clue.

"Very good, Tian Rong!"

"The slave is in the ......," Father-in-law Tian stepped forward and responded.

"Now I will order to go down, count the number of people in each palace, see where there are lost people, and then search me one by one, I want to see where the 'corpse' in Ruo'an's mouth will be hidden...... If you can't find it, it's a crime, and you just wait to lose your head......" The queen smiled faintly at Ruo'an after speaking. If you look at this smile, your heart is furious, this queen mother has long seen that she is not pleasing to the eye, and now she has the opportunity, wouldn't she make a big fuss? Now I can only pray that the woman's body can defend itself, and the corpse will never lie again......

Everyone waited like this, Ruo'an's kneeling legs were numb, just wanted to move, there was a hurried footstep outside the hall, everyone turned around, only to see Tian Rong running in with sweat, went straight to the queen's side, whispered something in his ear, Ruo'an leaned over but couldn't hear the sound, the queen's mother listened, frowned, stood up, and whispered to the emperor's ear, the emperor said: "Tonight is a good day to entertain guests from all over the world, I never thought that because of these things, the scenery was ruined, The envoys of various countries should also go back and rest first, the attack on the prince of the Kelan Kingdom will definitely give you an explanation......"

Seeing that the emperor opened his mouth to issue an eviction order, the lively guests could not delay any longer, and they bowed and retreated...... After almost leaving, the queen mother stood up and said: "I thought Ruo'an was joking, but when Father-in-law Tian came, a palace maid did die, and a body was found in the lotus pond...... It's not good to put such a discouraged thing in front of everyone, so come with me to the lotus pond......"

"Yes......" everyone agreed. The emperor stood up, slightly tired and said: "This matter will be handed over to you to deal with, and if you are a little tired, you will not go ......"

"The emperor takes care of the dragon body, go back and rest, just leave it to the concubines here......" said and called the little eunuch and helped the emperor out of the Qinzheng Palace.

The emperor is gone, Ruo'an is very disappointed, the queen will definitely not speak to herself...... Now we can only pray that the dead girl will prove her innocence......
