Chapter 214: Acquittal
Forsythia was so choked by this that she didn't know what to say, she just cried, "But, but it wasn't the princess who did it, Niangniang, the princess is dedicated to His Highness, how could she do anything to hurt His Highness?" Please also ask the mother to know the truth. ”
Wu Guifei realized that she was a little out of shape, tidied up her clothes, and said coldly: "Even if she didn't do it, it has nothing to do with her." ”
After that, he ignored Forsythia and left with Jing Ying'er.
When Jing Ying'er saw it, she felt a little sorry in her heart.
No, Xia Jingxian can't just die!
She stood beside Wu Guifei and persuaded softly: "Niangniang, after all, the seventh princess is the only seedling of the Xia family, if it is gone like this, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the Xia family, and I am afraid that there will be resentment against the court at that time." ”
"What can the Xia family do? Hurting the royal relatives and relatives, not punishing the nine clans is His Majesty's great favor to them! Wu Guifei said arrogantly.
"What Niangniang said is," Jing Ying'er nodded, and continued: "But this Xia family has been in the imperial court for a long time, and it has long been intertwined, so I am afraid that it will be very troublesome for Your Majesty to deal with it." ”
Wu Guifei paused.
At the beginning, she asked Xia Jingxian to marry Nan Yuchen, and it was the power behind Xia Jingxian that she took a fancy to, Xia Shuqing is a civil official, but he has made a lot of friends in the court, and the Xia family has been prosperous for a long time, prosperous and prosperous.
If it could be used by her......
"Call her in." Wu Guifei commanded lightly.
Jing Ying'er smiled slightly, answered, turned around and walked out, and when she saw the forsythia who was crying, a trace of disdain crossed her eyes, "Niangniang let you in." ”
"Thank you, Sister Ying'er."
Forsythia wiped her tears, stood up and walked inside respectfully, feeling uneasy in her heart, the princess said that the concubine would definitely help her.
Wu Guifei played with her fingernails and looked at her angrily, "Say, what can you do to save Xian'er?" ”
Forsythia paused and blurted out, "All this is the slave maid's own opinion, in the name of the princess, she wanted to harm Fu Zhangsi, but she didn't expect to harm His Royal Highness, just because Fu Zhangsi had humiliated the slave and maid, the slave and maid held a grudge and wanted to put her to death." ”
Wu Guifei was furious, stepped forward, and slapped Forsythia in the face with a "snap", "Cheap, just because of your selfishness, Chen'er is still unconscious!" ”
Forsythia's head tilted, and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, which showed how hard Wu Guifei's slap was, the corners of her mouth pulled, and a smile was pulled, "The slave knows that she is guilty, and she asks the mother to punish her, don't hurt innocent people." ”
Wu Guifei's chest was full of anger, she took a few deep breaths, and ordered: "Come on, put this in the prison of the Criminal Department and hand it over to Dali Temple for processing." ”
Forsythia stood up on his own and followed the guard, his face gray and lifeless.
The princess is right, she is a minion, her life is not valuable, so it is worth it for her to die for the princess.
If her death can be exchanged for the glory and wealth of her father's life, she is worth dying a hundred times and a thousand times.
Jing Ying'er looked at Forsythia in surprise, was she really so loyal to Xia Jingxian? Even if you want her life, take the initiative to sacrifice it?
Why should you let others call the shots of your own life, it's simply stupid.
When Fu Ruolan arrived, she saw the forsythia with a gloomy face with a shackle on her hand, and followed behind the guard with an expressionless face.
Shocked, she stepped forward to stop the guard, "Where are you taking her?" ”
What exactly does forsythia do? How can you wear shackles? Could it be that he offended Wu Guifei?
The guard glanced at Fu Ruolan coldly, and the other guard spoke: "Master Fu, she herself stood up and turned herself in, saying that she was the real murderer of the Seventh Highness, and we are going to escort her to the prison of the Criminal Department now." ”
"This, how can it be ......" Fu Ruolan froze, looking at Forsythia puzzled, Forsythia dodged her gaze, and her face was a little weak, "Fu Zhangsi, I'm sorry, this is Forsythia's life, you let the slave and maid pass." ”
She is very grateful to Fu Ruolan for giving her this opportunity, but the road ahead is destined to be walked by her alone.
Fu Ruolan couldn't speak, got out of the way, and watched them leave.
She fell to the ground with some weakness, how could things have come to this? If she knew that Forsythia had the idea of one life for one life at the beginning, she would never have taken her into the palace.
But she was a step too late after all.
She didn't know what Xia Jingxian did to Forsythia, but Forsythia's life is also life, how can she use it to die for others?
The next day, Dali Temple released news that the real murderer of Nan Yuchen had been found, and Xia Jingxian had been wronged and had been acquitted.
Xia Jingxian did not go back to the Seven Kings' Mansion, but went back to the Xia family directly.
After receiving the news, Fu Ruolan, Kazama, and Jingyun were all silent, they didn't expect Forsythia to choose to do this.
Jingyun was the first to speak: "It's all my fault, if I had stopped her yesterday." ”
"Blame me, if I hadn't ignored her yesterday, Fu Zhangsi wouldn't have come over, and I wouldn't have taken her into the palace." Kazama blamed himself.
Fu Ruolan sighed, "Maybe this is fate, even if it wasn't me, she would have found another way to meet Xia Jingxian." ”
"Miss, you said that Xia Jingxian is so vicious, why is Forsythia so loyal?" Jingyun was puzzled.
"Perhaps, there is a problem." Fu Ruolan said meaningfully, "Okay, don't worry about this, now you are only in the prison, there is no death sentence, and Forsythia still has hope of coming back." ”
Kazama and Shizumo nodded and went their separate ways.
It's just that everyone knows that Fu Ruolan just said this to comfort them, Forsythia entered the prison of the Criminal Department and committed the capital crime of murdering the emperor's relatives, is it possible to come back alive?
Even if there were, it would be 1 in 10,000.
Xia Jingxian changed her clothes, found a carriage and returned to Xia's mansion.
She had only been in the prison for a day, but she had had enough of the filthy smell and damp place, and the food was all swishing, and she didn't eat a bite, and she wanted to vomit when she smelled it.
It was not a place for people at all, and the treatment there was not even as good as that of animals.
"Who are you?"
Xia Jingxian stared coldly at the maid guarding the door, the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and now even the lowly slave has to get along with her?
was stared at by Xia Jingxian a little creepy, and the maid strengthened her courage, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm blind to your dog's eyes, and I don't even know this princess." Xia Jingxian said angrily.
The maid sneered, "What kind of cheap thing, dare to pretend to be the princess of our family?" Look at the tattered clothes you are wearing, how can the Seventh Princess be so humble as you? ”
"Xiaoya, what's going on outside, why is it so noisy?" Mrs. Xia asked unhappily.
Because of Xia Jingxian's admission to the prison of the Criminal Department, she has not closed her eyes for the past few days, and her temper is naturally very bad.
"Mrs. Hui, she is a liar pretending to be the Seventh Princess, saying that she wants to see the master." The maid replied respectfully.
