Chapter 113: The Truth
The guard wanted to continue to look at Meng Hongyi, but he was afraid of running into Meng Hongyi, so he stood aside at a loss.
He couldn't offend the princess, but he couldn't disobey the prince's orders, so he could only block it with his own body.
Meng Hongyi pushed the guard away, gave him a vicious look, and then pushed open the door and stepped in.
Hua Shenyue was accompanying Fu Qinglian at this time, pouring him ink and tea. Fu Qinglian had already heard the movement outside the door, but he didn't stop it. He knew that with Meng Hongyi's character, no one could stop her today.
But now is also the time when they should meet, this matter must be made clear after all, she has been kept in the dark, she is also an innocent person.
But Fu Qinglian really didn't have any other feelings for Meng Hongyi. This woman is arrogant, but not a bad person.
Meng Hongyi was obviously stunned when she saw Hua Shenyue, she thought that there was only Fu Qinglian in this room. didn't expect the two of them to stay together all the time.
But this is not the time to care about Hua Shenyue, Meng Hongyi came here for her father wholeheartedly, and now she can't think about it so much, she just hopes to find out what happened between the two of them.
"What are you here to do? Didn't the king command the guards not to let you in? Fu Qinglian didn't raise his head, and asked in a cold tone.
Meng Hongyi didn't expect so many things to happen, and the prince's attitude was still so cold, and he couldn't get angry for a while.
She couldn't care about so many things, "You, go out first!" Meng Hongyi didn't answer, she pointed to Hua Shenyue and said to Hua Shenyue.
What she and the prince are talking about is also a family matter, and she doesn't want other outsiders to interfere. What's more, this woman is still the person she has always hated, if she sees her embarrassed appearance here, I don't know how she will laugh at her behind her back.
Hua Shenyue was stunned, she didn't expect Meng Hongyi to drive her out first. Although Meng Hongyi is the princess, she is Fu Qinglian's personal maid, Fu Qinglian did not speak, Hua Shenyue stood in place and did not move.
"To put it bluntly, she is the king's personal maid, and it is not your turn to summon her." Fu Qinglian saw Meng Hongyi pointing the finger at Hua Shenyue, and his expression became even colder.
This woman is too arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and she is used to being in front of him, and she doesn't really pay attention to it.
I really don't know how lawless it will be in the future.
"...... you" Meng Hongyi was stunned, she obviously didn't expect that Fu Qinglian would refute her face because of a maid, and this time she seemed to understand what kind of status she had in the eyes of the prince.
For a while, all the emotions came up from her heart, and she didn't know how to hide her feelings.
Meng Hongyi glared at Hua Shenyue fiercely, then walked up to Fu Qinglian, and said with tears in her eyes: "Lord Wang, you are the husband of the concubine, how could the father of the concubine send someone to assassinate you?" There must be some misunderstanding in this. ”
"Lord, father, how could he assassinate you, don't fall for the gangster's discordant scheme, father, he can't do such a thing." Meng Hongyi said while wiping away tears.
"Oh? Do you mean, then, that the king wronged your father? Fu Qinglian said with a sneer.
Meng Hongyi is really overconfident in Meng Zhendong, as Meng Zhendong's daughter, she actually doesn't know anything about what Meng Zhendong did, Fu Qinglian doesn't know whether to say that Meng Hongyi is too naïve and easy to deceive, or whether to say that Meng Zhendong is too cunning and cunning.
"No, the concubine body does not mean that someone must be framing his father behind his back and stirring up the relationship between the prince and his father." As soon as Meng Hongyi heard Fu Qinglian's words, he immediately explained anxiously.
"You have this time to question this king, why don't you go home and ask your good father to see what good things he has done to hide from you!"
"No, my lord, my father is not this kind of person, how could he assassinate you? I don't believe it, there must be someone behind this who is deliberately framed, Lord Wang, you must not fall for the trick. Meng Hongyi shook his head and shouted loudly.
Fu Qinglian frowned, his face full of impatience.
"Come on, the princess is tired, send the princess back to rest, without the permission of the king, the princess is not allowed to step out of the room for half a step." Fu Qinglian didn't want to entangle with Meng Hongyi anymore, so he shouted loudly.
As soon as the words fell, a guard pushed the door in.
"Princess, please." The guard stood between Fu Qinglian and Meng Hongyi, and said to Meng Hongyi.
"Lord Wang, how can you be like this?" Meng Hongyi looked at Fu Qinglian while shedding tears, and her tone was full of grievances.
Hua Shenyue looked at Meng Hongyi's appearance, and felt that she was a little pitiful, and she couldn't bear it. But Fu Qinglian didn't raise his head, and directly ignored Meng Hongyi.
"Princess, please, the prince has already given an order, don't force us to do it." The guard said again. With Fu Qinglian's order, the guards no longer flinched.
"Lord, you ......" Meng Hongyi was still reluctant to leave, she pushed away the guards in front of her, and wanted to say something more, Cuihua grabbed her at the right time and stopped Meng Hongyi's next move.
"Princess, let's go." Cuihua took Meng Hongyi's hand and persuaded softly.
Meng Hongyi turned his head and looked at Cuihua, who shook his head. Seeing this, Meng Hongyi put down the hand that was pushing the guard, turned around and left. The guards followed behind Meng Hongyi, sent her back to the room, and sent people to guard her strictly.
"Ah Qing ......" Hua Shenyue couldn't help but speak out after Meng Hongyi left.
"What? Do you want to intercede for her? Fu Qinglian put down the pen in his hand and glanced up at Hua Shenyue.
"No, this is a decision you made, how can I interfere, it's just that I'm a little curious, why don't you tell her all the things Meng Zhendong did?" Hua Shenyue shook her head and expressed her doubts.
"She believes Meng Zhendong so much, and keeps saying that someone is framed behind her back, even if she says it, she won't believe it." Fu Qinglian explained.
"That's just as well." Hua Shenyue thought about it, nodded, and agreed with what Fu Qinglian said. Judging from what Meng Hongyi said just now, she didn't believe that Meng Zhendong would do such a thing at all. It's no wonder she doesn't believe it, after all, Meng Zhendong has never shown that side in front of her.
"Don't provoke her if you're fine, and try to avoid it if you want to run into it." Fu Qinglian said.
From Meng Hongyi's eyes when she looked at Hua Shenyue just now, she knew that she was full of malice towards Hua Shenyue. Besides, the two of them are in the house, so it is inevitable that they will meet, and Fu Qinglian can't always protect the flowers and the moon.
I don't know if Meng Hongyi will do anything out of the box when she is extremely angry, and if she hurts Hua Shenyue at that time, what should she do?
He was naturally very worried in his heart, so he reminded Hua Shenyue out loud.
"I see." Hua Shenyue replied happily. Fu Qinglian was worried about her safety, so Hua Shenyue couldn't hide her happiness.
"Lord Wang." Outside the door, the knock on the door remembered, and Chen Shi's voice also sounded, it seemed that something had happened, so Chen Shi came to find the prince on purpose.
"What?" Fu Qinglian asked.
"Wang Shangshu asks to see you." Chen Shi replied.
Fu Qinglian didn't expect Wang Shangshu to come over in such a short time. It seems that it is time for the two of them to discuss this matter and how to deal with them.
Wang Shangshu is smart and intelligent, and he has his own set of behaviors, and Fu Qinglian has completely trusted him at this moment.
"Take him to the study." Fu Qinglian put down the pen in his hand. After Chen Shi received the order to go out, Fu Qinglian prepared to leave here to meet Lord Shangshu.
"You go back and rest first, Wang Shangshu came to me, I should have something to say." Fu Qinglian said to Hua Shenyue.
Although he trusted Hua Shenyue very much, he shouldn't involve her when dealing with such a tense matter now.
So I decided to let her go to rest first, and then go to her after I was done with these things.
"Okay." Hua Shenyue nodded, put down the things in her hand and pushed the door out. Not long after Hua Shenyue went out, Chen Shi took Wang Shangshu into Fu Qinglian's study.
"See His Royal Highness." Wang Shangshu bent down and saluted Fu Qinglian, looking very humble.
"Wang Shangshu doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat." Fu Qinglian walked up to Wang Shangshu and helped him up with his own hands.
Wang Shangshu didn't say hello when he came here this time, I don't know what it was for, Fu Qinglian also had a guess in his heart.
"Wang Shangshu is visiting today, but it's for the assassination outside Weinan City?" After Wang Qingyuan sat down, Fu Qinglian asked.
"Exactly. The lower official was ordered to investigate the matter, so he specially came to the prince to find out about the situation that day. Wang Qingyuan replied.
"Wang Shangshu, please ask, this king will tell the truth."
I don't know what Shang Shu wants to know, but Fu Qinglian knows it, and he will definitely tell the truth, and the two of them can be regarded as trusting each other now.
"When was the prince assassinated?" Wang Qingyuan asked.
Wang Shangshu seemed to have come to investigate the matter on purpose, so he began to ask Fu Qinglian in an orderly manner, and it seemed that he also understood something, so he wanted to know the truth of the matter.
"Evening." Fu Qinglian replied without thinking.
"Can you see the faces of those assassins?"
Fu Qinglian shook his head when he thought of what happened that night, it was too dark that night, he didn't see anything clearly, and there were too many people at that time, and it was very chaotic. There's no way to tell.
"The assassins were all dressed in black, and their faces were covered with black cloths, so they couldn't see their faces clearly."
"What are the characteristics of the Assassin?" Wang Shangshu nodded and then began to ask questions again.
"No, after killing all the assassins, this king sent someone to search his body, but he didn't find anything, and the other party obviously came prepared." Fu Qinglian thought for a moment and said.
"When the prince was in the court, he once said that he caught a live mouth, but is it true?" Wang Qingyuan thought about it and continued to ask. After all, this living mouth is very important, if this person is still alive, then he can identify Meng Zhendong in front of everyone at that time.
