In the majestic vertical arch front hall, the emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked coldly at Cai Ling kneeling in the hall, "Jiang, are you guilty?" ”

Where did she dare to admit her guilt, murdering the emperor's heir and killing her head at every turn, she would confess her guilt if she didn't want to live, "The people's daughter has never had the heart to hurt Chen Liangdi." The people were wronged. ”

"Wronged?" Princess Jinghe, who was standing on the side of the dragon chair, glanced at her arrogantly, and shook the emperor's arm and said, "Father, the sons and daughters clearly saw that it was Jiang Cailing who pushed Chen Liangdi into the lake!" ”

"Jun'er!" The prince, who was standing on Cai Ling's side, scolded sharply.

"Brother, why should you protect your shortcomings, not to mention that Chen Liangdi is still pregnant with your flesh and blood. My brother is like this, how can she be embarrassed? "Princess Jinghe is unrelenting.

"You just said that Chen Liangdi was pushed down the lake. So how did this palace maid fall into the water? The Emperor asked.

Naturally, he was also pushed down by Jiang Cailing. She first found an excuse to let the palace maid go to the pavilion and kicked the palace maid down, Sister Liangdi panicked, and hurriedly shouted for help, and was pushed into the water by this vicious person as soon as she walked to the edge of the pavilion. Jing and his eyebrows fluttered and he made up lies.

Cai Ling listened quietly, trying to find the flaws in her words. The emperor spoke first, "Are you the palace maid who was pushed into the water?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it's the slave maid." Wei Wei replied with lowered eyes.

"Look up." The emperor looked at her carefully, "I remember you, a few days ago when the prince was sick, night and night, forgetting to sleep and eat, I haven't had time to reward you." ”

"Slaves and maids are only doing their part, and they dare not ask for rewards. Moreover, being able to serve His Highness is a blessing for slaves and maids. Wei Wei raised his head, not afraid of Long Yan.

"Good!" The Emperor nodded appreciatively, and then asked, "Then tell me about this afternoon." ”

Wei Wei glanced at Cai Ling with a complicated expression, and then said: "Miss Jiang and the slave maid met when they were in the Qin Palace, and at that time, Miss Jiang often came to His Royal Highness and asked the slave and maid to pass on a few words. After the girl entered the palace, she said that she would invite the old people in the palace to drink tea and enjoy the flowers, so this afternoon the slave maid dared to sit with Chen Liangdi. But after only sitting for about a pillar of incense, the slave and maid walked to the pavilion, as if they had been kicked by someone, and fell unsteadily into the lake. ”

"Do you know who kicked you?" The Emperor was impatient.

"The slave maid did not see her face." Wei Wei hesitated to look at Cai Ling again, "I just remember that Miss Jiang told the slave maid to go to the pavilion to find the bead flowers she dropped in the flower pot." As he spoke, he took out a golden silk jade bead hairpin from his sleeve, and Cai Ling looked up and saw that it was really his own thing. That day, he rode a horse with the prince, and he was afraid that the golden hairpin would tie him, so he took it off his head and put it on his waist, and then he should have fallen and was picked up by Wei Wei at some point.

Cai Ling couldn't help but sneer, one was really more wonderful than the other, and the rhetoric and rich plot almost made her believe it.

"Wei Wei!" The prince rebuked.

In the afternoon, at the invitation of Jing and the princess, he went to the Mingyue Lake brother and sister gathering, and saw Wei Wei struggling in the water a hundred zhang away from the Yanbo Pavilion, and Cai Ling was dragged by her indiscriminately, and it was clear that she couldn't move. He didn't even think about it, he jumped into the lake, and he was already bent on saving people. He only saw the result of the matter, and he didn't know what was going on, but he firmly believed that Jiang Cailing was not that kind of person!

Wei Wei didn't dare to speak again, only stood with his eyes down. His Majesty felt sorry for her after she was frightened, and no longer asked, only looked at Cailing coldly, "Jiang, since there are all the human and material evidence, what else do you have to say?" ”

Cai Ling still wanted to argue a few words, but the emperor had already said sharply: "Someone! Take Jiang down and hand it over to Dali Temple for trial. ”

Dali Temple again! Isn't there a big case in a huge organization? I had to try her as an insignificant person.

"Your Majesty."

"Father!"

The two spoke almost simultaneously. Cai Ling wanted to say that she also had an insider, and Xuan Niangniang could prove her innocence. The crown prince couldn't say anything, and said to the emperor: "The matter of the East Palace, can you let the ministers solve it themselves." Obviously asking for advice, the tone is particularly firm, and there is no room for refusal.

"How is the Jiang family a person from your East Palace? She is the wife of your thirteenth uncle. The emperor glared angrily, and as soon as he pointed his hand, a large internal guard came forward to take Cai Ling away.

"Father!" The prince suddenly knelt down and knelt straight in front of Cai Ling. He knelt like this, how could anyone who was not afraid of death dare to come forward and take Cai Ling away, and the hall was suddenly silent, and the atmosphere was tense.

"The prince is going to disobey me?" The emperor was extremely angry and asked coldly.

"Erchen doesn't dare." The prince's tone was resolute, "Erchen just wants to protect his loved ones. ”

"You...... You've disappointed me so much! The emperor was so angry that he suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, and the princess Jinghe next to him was frightened. Where did she think that her willfulness would implicate her brother who loved her the most.

When the tension was blowing, someone came from outside the hall. The man walked straight to the prince's side, bowed down and helped the prince up, "My mother can testify to this." ”

The emperor looked at Concubine Xuan with deep eyes, "Could it be that Concubine Ai is also involved?" ”

"The concubine had a whim after her lunch break today, so she went to sit on Mount Melan for a while." Concubine Xuan glanced at Cai Ling, "Ling'er, you also get up and speak." ”

"Although the concubine sitting in the agarwood pavilion can't hear the conversation of the juniors under the mountain clearly, her eyes are not blind." Glancing at Princess Jinghe with a little grievance, the princess still wanted to argue a few words, but she didn't know how to speak, Concubine Xuan continued, "The palace maid Wei Wei fell into the water, Biluo called for help by the railing, Ling'er jumped into the water to save people and didn't pay attention to squeezing Biluo into the lake, which was an unintentional mistake in a hurry. ”

Cai Ling's eyes darkened, and she only buried her head and remained silent. Concubine Xuan had already moved her gaze to Wei Wei, "What this palace said is the truth. ”

Wei Wei dragged the beaded flower in the palm of his hand, until he wanted to make the golden silk bleed, and then said in a slightly trembling voice: "After the slave fell into the water, Miss Jiang really wanted to save her." ”

"Nonsense!" The Ninety-Five Supreme, who was sitting upright on the dragon chair, glanced at Princess Jinghe, who was at a loss beside her, and only reproached like this.

After everyone dispersed, Cai Ling was still standing in the hall, and her eyes only followed the beautiful figure of Concubine Xuan holding Her Majesty and gradually walking towards the inner hall. Unexpectedly, Xuan Niangniang told a lie like this, or did she not see Biluo at all, she was going to throw herself into the lake and deliberately wanted to frame her?

"You wait for Hongu!" Princess Jinghe passed by, whispering a warning in her ear.

Wei Wei stood beside the crown prince, "Your Highness, the slave will accompany you back to the East Palace." ”

"Get out!" The young prince said angrily. Even Cai Ling, who was standing a few feet away, was taken aback, and his eyes fell on his handsome face, thinking that although he was not treated well by him before, every time he tried to talk to him, he was as if he were leaving, but he had never seen him angry. Even if she accused her for Biluo in Dongxi Lou at the beginning, she didn't frown as coldly as she did today. It turned out that Wen Run, like he was angry, was like this.

Wei Wei hurriedly knelt beside his ink-colored brocade boots, "The slave knows her mistake." The slave didn't dare anymore. When I looked up again, my pretty and fair little face was already full of tears.

Cai Ling looked at the prince in a blink of an eye, and saw that although his face did not change, his eyes were suddenly a lot less sharp, and his heart was sour, after all, they were two people who shared the day and night, how could they be hard-hearted? Cai Ling sighed secretly and turned around to leave.

"Stop." The prince shouted.

The steps only paused, and the head did not return, and Cai Ling continued to walk forward.

"Little Four!" The tone was softened, and the attitude was very resolute, "This king called you." ”

Cai Ling stopped, turned her head, and finished in one go, "I'm rushing back to Ziwei Palace." His gaze stopped on his calf that was hugged by Wei Wei, and he did not hide his disdain.

The prince kicked Wei Wei away, stepped forward, grabbed her shoulders and said, "This king will send you back." ”

She didn't refuse, the Queen Mother said it well, Shen Muchi is a stubborn person, he hasn't hit the south wall since he was a child and never looked back, if he didn't open his heart and explain it to him clearly, he would still not give up on this relationship. Just now in front of the emperor, he said that he wanted to protect his beloved, Cai Ling's heart was like a drum, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, and the mist in his eyes was also very fortunate. At the moment of life and death, she didn't think of a way out of life with her brain flying, but she was embarrassed by his words, she really didn't know whether she was alive or dead! But this is her, she has liked Shen Muchi for many years! How can she protect herself in the deep palace of intrigue, open guns and hidden arrows?

"If it weren't for Xuan Niangniang this time, I'm afraid I would have died." The two walked side by side on the palace road, and the two little eunuchs walked in front with glass lamps, and Cai Ling said abruptly.

"I'm not going to let you die." His eyes were deep, and he looked ahead, and the words were sonorous.

"Your Highness." Her expression was relaxed, as if she was joking, "It's not in vain that I've known you for many years." ”

"Little four......" he just spoke.

"Your Highness, with these twists and turns, I have seen myself clearly, and I am not a person who can stay in the deep palace. Now I'm only glad that I didn't worship heaven and earth with you at the beginning, otherwise I really regretted it! She snapped.

"I can't regret it......" he muttered after a long time. For several days, he only regretted that he had not visited her in the church to marry her as the princess of Qin, but now she is rejoicing about it, it turns out that she is really ruthless!

"South of Yunling, there is also brilliant sunshine in winter, I heard that there is never snow, the four seasons are like spring, men and women weave, yellow hair hangs down, all are content. I also heard that Taihua Mountain is verdant and undulating, and the green water of Dianchi Lake is gently rippling, and I have always wanted to go and see it. ”

The prince looked at her coldly, and after a moment, asked, "Who did you listen to?" ”

She endured the pain in her heart and replied with a smile: "You are thrifty ......"

Since September last year, she has called him "Your Highness", but I don't know when she started calling the name of King Dian directly, and it is obvious who is close and who is close! It took him so long to believe it until she said it herself. It's useless!

The prince strode away without saying a word. Cai Ling stood in place, blind in the black light, silent, and watched the long figure disappear quickly.

My heart was desolate. In fact, she really wanted to ignore him like she did when she was sixteen years old, and only chased him like a cockroach that could not be killed. But there are always calamities in a long life, one calamity and one growth, and now she is not Princess Jinghe who is protected by the emperor, and she can't live like Wei Wei and steal her life, so she can't live as much as they want.

I only hope that from now on, the prince can be safe and smooth! She would return to Beijing before Chinese New Year's Eve every year, just to take another look at him in the crowd, until time was like a flowing day and her memories were taken away like a scroll, and she was at ease to find a bamboo house in Yunnan to retire, and would not trouble the king of Dian and his eighteen concubines.

"Miss Jiang?" At some point, a palace maid stood behind her, holding a palace lamp and calling her.

"Auntie, what's the matter?" Cai Ling asked.

"Niangniang asked the slave maid to pass the word, if it is convenient for the girl, please go to Cuiwei Palace to sit down." The palace maid beside Concubine Xuan is also gentle and polite when she speaks.
