Chapter 61: Uncovering the Truth
Yan Minglan used her dexterity and easily pushed away the hand on her chin that made her feel a little painful, and her expression was still indifferent: "I don't like him, and I don't want to marry him." ”
Hailan glared at her suspiciously: "Do you think I'm that stupid?" I'll believe your nonsense? ”
Yan Minglan didn't mind, and said what she meant: "Believe it or not, but please take responsibility for what you do." Since today's events are all from you, I still bother General Hai to come with me personally. ”
"No way, Ben won't be stupid. Unless you have proof, don't think I'll go to the Holy One to clarify it for you. ”
"Yan Minglan, kindly remind you that the human and physical evidence in this matter will be destroyed, so don't make senseless struggles."
Hailan Lian laughed wildly, and her delicate face made her look a little crazy.
"General Nahai, you are so self-sufficient."
Yan Minglan also ignored her anymore, resolutely lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent.
Amber outside obviously heard the movement inside, and was looking at the door of the tent with a worried face, eager to rush in directly, and saw her own young lady walking out.
Only then did she let go of her heart, and looked around her young lady, but found no suspicious traces.
Probably because the movement was really not small, even Qiao Tianshuo, who had always been cold, looked at her a few times, Yan Minglan glanced at him without saying a word, and walked straight to the outside of the barracks.
In the tent, only Hailan was left, and her face was gloomy, because when Yan Minglan walked out of the tent, she obviously saw the jade pendant on Yan Minglan's waist, and saw the nine-tailed phoenix pattern on it.
Even the queen mother helped her! Does this mean that the queen mother is very satisfied with Yan Minglan, the future third princess?
Hailan clenched her fists and was furious.
Yan Minglan was really lying to herself just now, if she really didn't like the third prince and didn't want to marry him, how could she please the queen!
Yan Minglan, you two-faced woman!
On the other side, Yan Minglan was walking on the road, and Qiao Tianshuo and Amber were still quietly following her.
The shadows of the trees swayed, and only the thin frecks of light passed through the sparse leaves, hitting the people's bodies, clothes, and faces.
Amber couldn't help but ask, "Miss, in that case, what should we do next?" ”
"I will personally go to the saint and report the truth." Yan Minglan replied.
Qiao Tianshuo heard this, and immediately said, "I'll go with you, and I can testify." ”
Yan Minglan didn't shirk either, after all, it was easier for the emperor to believe, so she said "um" again.
It just so happened that this was also part of her plan, and Hai Lanlian felt that she needed someone involved in the incident to testify, but she didn't think so.
Qiao Tianshuo looked at her back, and her cold face showed helplessness.
Walking on the narrow palace road again, Yan Minglan simply explained to the father-in-law Xi who was guarding outside the emperor's palace gate.
"Father-in-law of Lao, let me report to your majesty about a few things that happened today."
"Your Majesty is waiting inside for the Yan Guan's house, the Yan Guan's family, please come in."
This is a big event, and Father-in-law Xi didn't dare to delay, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly introduced people into the palace.
"Little Eight, I heard from Father-in-law Xi that you often slipped out of the palace this month."
"Father, Lin'er is too bored in the palace, so she always wants to go out to play."
"You, you, I really can't do anything about you, next time you go out of the palace, you can bring a guard who can protect you, you know? Don't let me worry..."
"Yes, yes, yes. Father is the best for Lin'er..."
As she went deeper and deeper, Yan Minglan heard the emperor's majestic and loving voice, and another pleasant and beautiful girl's voice.
The person who can make His Majesty kind and loving must be a prince or a princess, Yan Minglan thought.
What she didn't notice was that Qiao Tianshuo also heard this voice, and her long eyebrows immediately twisted, obviously recognizing it.
Qiao Tianshuo felt a lot of headaches, this girl could actually meet here, what a coincidence, and he didn't expect this girl to be a princess.
It's not unexpected, after all, from Yu Chi Lin'er's self-respecting posture of doing her own thing, Qiao Tianshuo can also see that her family should be good.
So he just felt that the identity of Yu Chi Lin'er's princess would be more difficult and difficult to get rid of, Qiao Tianshuo thought of this, and couldn't help but get closer to Yan Minglan.
Yan Minglan tilted her head sideways and did not stop it.
Father-in-law Xi reminded the father and daughter who were happy, "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Eighth Princess, Her Royal Highness King Shuo and Yan Guan's house have arrived." ”
"Xuan."
When the two of them walked into the hall side by side, the emperor and the eighth princess Yu Chi Lin'er looked at these two people who were very close to each other in surprise, and the two seemed to be very close.
The two who were staring at didn't feel anything abnormal, and they showed composure.
The emperor didn't know that they were together, and he only thought that they had just met, and quickly put away his expression that was not majestic enough.
The eighth princess, Yu Chi Lin'er, had a different focus from the emperor, she looked at each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, and she was worthy of Yan Minglan and Qiao Tianshuo, who were like the opposite people.
She felt confused, sad, and lost.
He and Qiao Gongzi have not been so close, but Qiao Gongzi does not accept his pursuit because he has other loves? He likes the woman in front of him?
I have to say that a woman's intuition is sometimes really accurate, like an innate talent.
The emperor had listened to what the queen had said before, and knew what Yan Minglan was talking about, so he touched the head of the eighth princess: "Little eight, let's go back to the palace first." My father has important things to deal with. ”
"Yes, Lin'er is leaving."
Yu Chi Lin'er was in a messy mood, afraid that she would lose her demeanor if she didn't pay attention, and she didn't want to see this picture that was a bit dazzling to her, so she could only leave first according to the emperor's wishes.
Yan Minglan began to report: "Your Majesty, the minister has found the real culprit in this matter, and another murder case has been discovered. ”
After hearing this, the emperor was furious in his heart, and frowned: "Who is it!" So bold! Homicide case? What's going on here! Yan Qing came quickly. ”
"When the minister pursued the case, he found that a soldier in charge of the escort had been killed, and this soldier was a man of the sea general."
"General Hai? But the eldest lady of the Hai family, Hai Lanlian? ”
"That's the man." Yan Minglan bowed his head.
"Oh? General Hai and General Hai's father have always been loyal to me and have paid a lot for the country, Yan Qing wants to say, this matter has something to do with her? ”
"Yes, that's right, General Hai is the mastermind in this matter."
The emperor will be suspicious, and after seeing too much fighting, he will not blindly believe the words of the individual, and asks: "What? Yan Qing don't fool me, General Hai has never been this kind of person. ”
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister naturally doesn't dare to fool Your Majesty, once the minister found out, he immediately went to General Hai to confront him, and General Hai personally admitted that she did it."
Yan Qing laughed, how could he directly admit that he was the murderer when he made such a real murderer? Dare you say that it's not fooling me? ”
"Your Majesty, this is because the minister has something given by the queen's mother, and General Hai naturally does not dare to disobey, and can only admit it under the imperial power." Yan Minglan added unhurriedly.
Although there are some discrepancies, it does not prevent Yan Minglan from saying this to increase credibility, anyway, the result is correct.
Yan Minglan took off the jade pendant on her waist and handed it to her father-in-law Xi who was standing aside.
Xi Gonggong took it and carefully confirmed that this thing was indeed the queen's mother before daring to present it to the emperor.
The Emperor recognized, "Yes, this is indeed the one I gave to the Empress. ”
Qiao Tianshuo hadn't seen the real scene inside the tent before, but he clearly heard Hailan Lian admit the crime outside.
Therefore, he thought that the facts were what Yan Minglan said, and he did not have any doubts about Yan Minglan's words, and even stepped forward to help: "This king was also present at the time, which can prove that General Hai did admit it himself." ”
"Is that so? But how could King Shimmer be there? The Emperor was a little convinced, but he couldn't help but ask strangely.
Qiao Tianshuo coughed lightly uncomfortably, clenched his fist against the tip of his nose and explained: "Before, when this king happened to visit the queen's mother, he met Yan Guan's house, so he helped a little favor. ”
The emperor did not doubt him, and his thoughts were tossing and turning.
"Go, send the general to come to meet you." He looked at his father-in-law and said.
After a moment and a half, Hai Lan Lian quickly entered the palace, and in addition to Hai Lan Lian, who was still stubborn and couldn't turn around, there was also her father, Hai Lao Haiyuan, with her.
The emperor looked at Hai Yuan a little weak, of course he knew what Hai Yuan had come to the palace to deal with, and he knew very clearly.
Really.
As soon as Haiyuan arrived, he knew what the emperor was doing: "Your Majesty, the minister and the Haifu have been doing their best for the country every day, and there has never been any complaint, and now the little girl is fascinated for a while, and she has gone crazy, and I ask Your Majesty to spare her this time, and the minister promises that there will be no next time, and the minister will take care of ......and educate her."
"I naturally know that Hai Qing has always been loyal to me, and I have never doubted this, but Hai Lan Lian is too arrogant this time, how to serve the public without punishment! What does Haiqing think? ”
"The minister thinks that what His Majesty said is extremely true, this girl is used to being arrogant, and she should be punished, just ask Your Majesty to spare her life."
"This is natural, for the sake of Haiqing's face and the ancestors of the Hai family, I will naturally forgive. What does Minglan girl think? ”
After all, Yan Minglan is a victim, and the emperor still favors her.
In front of the saint, Hai Lanlian, who was in a hurry, didn't dare to be presumptuous, only lowered her head and listened to the conversation between her father and the emperor, only then did she feel a trace of fear and was silent.
It wasn't until she was questioned by the emperor that she took the initiative to answer: "Your Majesty is in charge of everything, and the ministers don't dare to discuss it." ”
"Good. In this case, thinking that Lan Lian girl is a first offender and has a good attitude of admitting her mistakes, I decided to withdraw part of the military power and punish her for one year, can Lan Lian girl accept it? The Emperor asked, patting on the arm of the dragon chair.
Hai Lan was pampered, her heart was uneven, she bit her lip and did not answer, but she suddenly found that Master Hai, who was kneeling in front of her, was trying to make her eyes look at her, so she was quite reluctant, "Thank you, Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”
"Okay, now that this matter has been settled, Yan Qing, Haiqing, and King Shuo have all returned." The Emperor waved his hand at them and motioned for them to stand down.
"Yes, the ministers are leaving."
Yan Minglan's face was a little colder than before, and Qiao Tianshuo was obviously not very interested, and Hai Yuan, who was used to meeting the source left and right, squirmed the corners of his mouth twice, and did not come forward to say hello.
