"Lord Zhong handled the case fairly, it shouldn't be like this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a misunderstanding......

Some of the courtiers spoke for Zhong Jingsong, and the prince swept over with a cold eye, and his tone was slightly raised: "I know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, how can you vouch for him?"

The man was speechless for a moment, and the prince immediately said: "Father, Erchen has already asked the housekeeper to be brought, and he will prove Erchen's innocence." ”

"Hmm. The emperor reluctantly answered, and soon saw the butler of the prince's mansion being escorted up.

The emperor recognized him at a glance, and this was still the person who served in the queen's palace when the queen was alive.

"If you don't want to endure hardships, just tell everything as it is, and make up a word randomly, don't say that your father, the palace will not let you go!"

"Your Royal Highness forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins!" the butler trembled his back, and according to the prince's previous instructions, he said the prepared words word for word.

There was silence in the court, Emperor Tieqing's face became more and more embarrassed, and the housekeeper even wanted to crash to death in the palace in order to help the prince clear his suspicions, and was stopped by the guards.

The emperor closed his eyes, as if he did not want to see such a scene: "Well, I can't see filth in my eyes, but I can't tolerate sand." ”

"Although you are an old man beside the prince, you have committed an unforgivable capital crime, and you will be put in prison immediately, and you will be beheaded in public three days later. ”

"Your Majesty, the slave is willing to accept the punishment. ”

The housekeeper was imprisoned, and the emperor only punished the prince with a small punishment, no one expected that the situation would have such a reversal, and Zhong Jingsong was put on the cusp for a while.

Song Er, who had just identified the prince, didn't wait for the prince to remind him, and took the initiative to bite Zhong Jingsong in turn, saying that he forced himself to do all this.

Zhong Jingsong was silent, the emperor saw these in his eyes, and suddenly opened his mouth: "Zhong Aiqing has anything to say?"

Zhong Jingsong raised his gaze without changing his face, and spit out a few words after a long time: "Minister, there is nothing to say." ”

"Then Lord Zhong admitted to framing this palace?"

There was a faint sense of pride in the prince's words, Zhong Jingsong met his gaze, and the bottom of the pool was calm: "If His Royal Highness is really wronged, it is naturally the minister's no." ”

The emperor coughed lightly, and seeing that the matter was almost over, his solemn face softened slightly: "Okay, for the sake of your previous loyalty, I will not want your life, you go back and think about it behind closed doors for three months." ”

"As for the Shuntian Mansion Yin, when there is a suitable candidate to take office, the security of Jingzhong during this period will be handed over to the Zhenguo Gong for the time being. ”

These words are the removal of Zhong Jingsong in disguise, not to mention that he has lost his official position, he offended many people when he was in office, who knows what will happen during the lockdown?

"The minister commanded. Zhong Jingsong took off his official hat and left, as for the second son of Song, the prince didn't say a word for him, so he was naturally imprisoned.

Chi Yingchu has been waiting for news in the house, but she has never seen Zhong Jingsong's people to report, so she simply prepared to go to him.

Lu Yuanbai didn't know when he appeared behind him, and his voice seemed to be smiling, "You don't have to go, Zhong Jingsong is no longer Shuntianfu Yin." ”

"What?" Chi Yingchu felt unbelievable, there was evidence from Song Er and Liuxiangju, the person who was punished was not the prince, but turned into Zhong Jingsong?

Lu Yuanbai didn't explain to her again, seeing her surprised face, he opened his lips faintly: "Those evidences only put the butler of the prince's mansion in prison, and did not shake the prince's status in the slightest." ”

"How did the prince know?"

"This king naturally has the way of this king. He paused, and then said, "Now that Zhong Jingsong is grounded, the outside of Shuntian Mansion is guarded by the forbidden army, and you can't enter." ”

She felt indignant, all the evidence was collected by her and Zhong Jingsong at the risk of death, and in the end, instead of bringing the real culprit to justice, they put their companions in vain.

A strong sense of guilt rose in Chi Ying's heart, and a stubbornness came out of his bones, and no one could stop him: "Then I will also see it for myself." ”

She hurriedly ran out with her skirt and ran outside the Shuntian Mansion in one go, dozens of palace forbidden soldiers were guarding the door, and passers-by who got a little closer would be driven away.

Zhong Jingsong stood in the courtyard, saw her in the crowd at a glance, shook his head and motioned her not to approach, and the door was slowly closed.

Chi Yingchu clenched his palms in his sleeves, the forbidden army was heavily guarded during the day, not to mention people, it was difficult for even a bird to fly in, so he could only wait for the night to find a chance.

Turning around to leave, she almost fell into Lu Yuanbai's arms, she had nowhere to vent her anger in her heart, and it was like she had found a breakthrough at this moment.

"Why are you here? Are you making trouble again this time, don't you know that you are annoying? I don't want to see you now, get out of here!"

Lu Yuan's white eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth twitched gloomily: "Are you angry at this king?"

Chi Yingchu's voice weakened, who let him appear so coincidentally? Don't let her vent her emotions, do you want to let her hold back?

"Then I'm leaving, right?" she can't afford to mess with, can't she hide?

"The last person who dared to talk to this king like this has already gone to the king of Hades to line up!" Lu Yuanbai sneered and grabbed her hard.

Chi Yingchu shook off his hand like a hot potato, and began to pretend to be delicate and innocent: "I know that the prince is reluctant, he just wants to be tempted, but the prince can't stand the test......"

Lu Yuanbai didn't answer, and obviously didn't believe her words: "Before you do this in the future, think about the consequences first." ”

"Go back with this king. ”

Chi Yingchu sat in his carriage, and Yu Guang looked at his face from time to time, and when he found out, he pretended to look away as if nothing happened.

Neither of them spoke, and in the end, it was Lu Yuanbai who spoke first: "Why do you suspect that this king is what Zhong Jingsong told you?"

Chi Yingchu shook his head: "I haven't even seen him, let alone said this." ”

"It's just a test, the prince is a generous person, why is he still more serious than my little girl?"

Lu Yuanbai dusted off his robe, glanced at her and said, "You also know that you are a villain." ”

"Little ......" Forget it, she doesn't want to talk to unreasonable people.

Back at the palace, Chi Ying first admitted her mistake, and then learned about the affairs of the court, there must be clues in this, otherwise how did the prince learn the news in advance?

There must be something wrong with the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion, and everything must be investigated from the beginning, but without Zhong Jingsong to help her, can Lu Yuanbai really treat her wholeheartedly?

Chi Yingchu suppressed the thoughts in her heart, and wanted to wait for Lu Yuanbai to come to her, but he didn't come, she didn't dare to delay, so she looked for it herself.

What she could think of, Lu Yuanbai also thought of it, a few days ago, she asked people to check the housekeeper of the prince's mansion and found that there was another layer of identity behind it.

This matter is not ordinary tricky, he doesn't want Chu Yimiao to get involved, so as not to cause bad things.

In prison.

The dim candle flame flickered, the officers and soldiers were drunk for seven or eight minutes, the wine jar on the table was poured several times, and a figure was seen at the door of the prison.

"You ......"

The other party quickly knocked him unconscious, took the key, and then walked past him to the prison where the butler of the Prince's Mansion was in charge, and Song Er was not locked here.

When the housekeeper saw the visitor, his face was shocked, and the other party waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to say more: "The things are given to you, so let's go quickly." ”
