"You mean you went to visit the King of Chu to send paintings?" The old emperor obviously didn't believe it, and leaned forward again, staring at Jin Yuan with heavy eyes.

Jin Yuan did not move like a mountain, bowed his hand to the old emperor, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty Shengming, Weichen is indeed going to send paintings." ”

How much credibility he has in what he said, what the old emperor thinks, others don't know, but the prince doesn't believe it at all, he stands up directly, and interjects: "Send the painting in the middle of the night, Lord Jin is looking for a good excuse." ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at the prince, and Jin Yuan was no exception, and asked: "Why did His Royal Highness the prince say this, Weichen is true, and he doesn't dare to speak in front of His Majesty, this is a big crime of bullying the king." ”

"Do you know that this is a great crime of deception?"

Murong Cheng took a step closer, hooked the corners of his lips, and said: "Tomorrow is not a day of rest, the custom is to go to the morning court, do you have anything valuable that you must give to the king of Chu in the middle of the night, Lord Jin said this, do you believe it yourself?" ”

"I'm telling the truth, so why don't I believe it?" Jin Yuan replied calmly.

"Hmph, you're lying!"

Murong Cheng was loud, and immediately arched his hand towards the old emperor, and said: "Father, today's sons and daughters participated in the garden flower party with the king of Chu, and it was very late at the end, and the king of Chu was so drunk that he was unconscious at all, so how could he make an appointment with Lord Jin." ”

As he spoke, Murong Cheng's eyes flashed, his eyes narrowed slightly when he looked at Jin Yuan, and after a slight pause, he charged: "Ben Gong Ben was resting in the dormitory, but he didn't want to be disturbed by the noise outside, and he was just about to check, but there was a sudden fire, and in the chaos, I saw a familiar back. ”

There was something in the prince's words, and everyone present could hear it, Jin Yuan didn't speak, but Ning Zhao frowned.

When they left, Ning Zhao couldn't be sure if he was discovered by the crown prince, at that time, if Jin Yuan was seen a beat slower, it was not impossible.

If it was ordinary, it would be nothing, but today's fire was really strange, coupled with Jin Yuan's previous words, even Ning Zhao couldn't help but want to doubt, let alone the old emperor who was quite suspicious?

"What the hell are you going to say?" After a moment of silence, the old emperor spoke again.

The old emperor looked at Jin Yuan, and his eyes immediately fell on Murong Cheng, and when Murong Cheng heard this, he hurriedly took another step forward and accused: "The fire in the East Palace was set by Jin Yuan!" ”

As soon as these words fell, it was like a rock hitting jade, and there was a sound on the ground, and everyone instantly looked at Jin Yuan.

Ning Zhao panicked in his heart, and looked at Jin Yuan with his eyes, but he didn't want Jin Yuan, the party, to be flustered, and still knelt straight.

The fourth princess, Murong Jiao, had never had a chance to speak, but at this moment, after listening to Murong Cheng's accusations, she looked at Jin Yuan worriedly.

This is the person she has in mind, if she is convicted this time, then Jin Yuan will ......

Thinking of this, the fourth princess didn't care about the courtesy, stepped forward directly, and said to the prince: "What evidence does the crown prince and brother have, this matter is very important, and the commander of the guards has not found out the cause of the fire so far, if the prince and brother have no conclusive evidence, they dare not accuse Lord Jin indiscriminately." ”

"Presumptuous!" The prince turned his head and glared at Murong Jiao, and said unhappily: "I have seen him with my own eyes, isn't it conclusive evidence?" ”

After that, the prince turned to Jin Yuan again, raised his hand and pointed at him, and said, "I just found out that there was someone outside, and the next moment there was a fire, and I turned my head and saw him, what evidence do you need?!" ”

"It's such a coincidence in this world, he also said before that he went to visit the King of Chu, and compared with this before and after, he is lying at all!"

The more the prince spoke, the more he thought about it, and even he believed it.

The fourth princess was so anxious that she jumped to her feet, and was about to continue arguing, but was interrupted by the old emperor, "Jin Yuan, what do you have to say?" ”

Jin Yuan raised his hand, his palms wanted to be pasted, his palms were facing inward, and he bowed to the old emperor in a dignified manner, and then said unhurriedly: "Weichen is honest, he has never been to the East Palace, and I hope Your Majesty will see it!" ”

Although Ning Zhao had doubts, now was not the time to think about this, and after Jin Yuan finished speaking, Ning Zhao took a step forward, knelt down, lowered his head and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, the courtiers can also testify for Lord Jin, the two of us have been walking together before, how can Lord Jin go to the East Palace to set fire at the same time? Could it be that there is really a separate body technique in this world? ”

Everyone didn't expect that Ning Zhao would stand up and speak for Jin Yuan at this moment, and Murong Cheng looked at Ning Zhao even more complicatedly.

From the first time they met, Murong Cheng had thoughts about Ning Zhao, and when they met later, he explicitly hinted many times, but Ning Zhao didn't have any response, but this time he defended Jin Yuan here and went against himself openly.

Murong Cheng was angry in his heart, and took several deep breaths before he could hold back and not be rude in front of the old emperor.

"What proof can you have?"

Although Murong Jiao was worried about Jin Yuan, she was angry when she looked at Ning Zhao, and she still remembered Jin Yuan's eyes when she looked at Ning Zhao at the flower appreciation banquet.

It's so explicit, it's so naked, it's a fool who can't see it!

"You can't prove why you are here, and now you want to testify to Lord Jin, hum! It's really overwhelming! Murong Jiao snorted coldly and said coldly.

Ning Zhao looked at Murong Jiao violently, his eyes were not wavering, but Murong Jiao's heart jumped, and he instinctively took two steps back, and when he reacted, he was suddenly furious, pointing at Ning Zhao's nose and scolding: "You lowly slave, you dare to stare at me!" Licentious! ”

"The emperor is here, don't frame me, the fourth princess, when did I do this." Ning Zhao tilted his head, without the slightest fear.

Anyway, it has already come to this point, but if it can't solve the problem, why should Ning Zhao compromise it.

"You, you, you dare to talk back!"

Murong Jiao was angry, turned her head to look at the old emperor, and said coquettishly: "Father, Ning Zhao committed the following crimes, and asked her father to punish her and make decisions for her daughter!" ”

The old emperor was silent for a long time, watching them argue one by one, and after a while, his hand patted lightly on the armrest, and everyone was immediately silenced, and all of them hung their heads.

"Listening to what you said so much, it's nothing more than that the prince accused Jin Yuan of setting fire, but Jin Yuan claimed that he went to the king of Chu and met Ning Zhao on the way, and Ning Zhao could also testify."

The old emperor said slowly, paused, his eyes instantly froze, he looked at Ning Zhao and Jin Yuan, and asked: "But you two corroborate each other, and there are no other witnesses, I'm afraid this testimony is not enough to clear your suspicions." ”

When the prince and the fourth princess heard this, their eyes lit up, and the prince took the first step to speak, "What my father said is that the son saw Jin Yuan with his own eyes, and what he saw with his own eyes is that the son is the witness, and Jin Yuan is the murderer who set the fire." ”

The fourth princess was anxious, and she didn't let it go, and hurriedly added: "Ning Zhao said that he walked with Jin Yuan, and this fire was not necessarily set by Lord Jin, maybe Ning Zhao set the fire, but Lord Jin just couldn't bear it for a while, testified for her, and said nonsense." ”

The more he talked, the more chaotic Ning Zhao's heart became even more chaotic, and he immediately denied it: "This matter was not done by the two of us, I have no grievances with the prince, why bother to do such a headless thing!" ”
