"The emperor is invited," the eunuch's unique slender voice fluttered in the morning breeze, "Prime Minister, Shangshu is here~"

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a witness! The little girl was a red ant attracted by medicine, and she was killed alive!" As soon as the prime minister entered the Lingxiao Palace, he knelt in front of the dragon case with a puff, and the old tears were all over the place, trembling and kowtowing.

"Your Majesty, the old minister also has a witness! Dog, the death is wronged!" Xu Shangshu followed behind the prime minister, knelt on the ground and bowed his head, crying suddenly, "I beg the emperor to try it first!"

"Yes. The emperor bowed his head and said in a calm tone: "Aiqing, get up and sit down to listen to the trial!"

"Biography!" Eunuch Qin's casual and slender voice rippled in the Lingxiao Palace.

"Meet the emperor, long live the emperor!" The two women dressed as maids timidly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the ground.

"Say it. The emperor glanced at the two trembling maids, picked up the Qingyun Youlong fine porcelain teacup that Qin casually presented, and took a sip.

"The people's daughter Hua Jin is the personal maid of the eighth princess. The folk girl watched with her own eyes that my young lady was held down with a stick and couldn't move. The red ants rushed up to the young lady's body and rushed into her mouth...... Woo! My young lady died a miserable death!" Hua Jin trembled and cried lowly.

"Minnu Jiaorui, I saw with my own eyes that Yan Huan'er was jealous of the eldest young master's official position in front of my young lady. The next day, she framed the eldest young master for insulting her and tied up the prince. After dark, I found the broken body of my eldest young master outside the city, and my eldest young master died unjustly!"

"Tell the rebel son to confront him face to face!" The emperor slapped the dragon case fiercely, and he was furious.

"Erchen has already come, waiting for you to pass on the edict!" The timbre is as soft as Lingbo Qingge, the eighth prince slowly stepped into the hall, white clothes and wide sleeves, in the clear morning sun that opened the door, with a light dance as pure and quiet, "Meet my father!"

"You," the emperor's blazing fire seemed to begin to extinguish as soon as he saw the eighth prince's immortal-like figure, "You, explain it yourself!"

"Yes!Father!" The bottom of the eighth prince's jade-colored veil rippled slightly, flooding with a sneer, "Please take a look at the Prime Minister, is this something you gave to your daughter." ”

The little eunuch Bao An'er held up the brocade case in his hand, and a pair of jeweled phoenix crowns shone brilliantly in the sun.

"Yes, this is Miss's phoenix crown!" Hua Jin looked up and nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, it was the old minister who put it into his daughter's dowry with his own hands!" the prime minister also nodded.

"Please, Imperial Doctor. "The eighth prince is idle, not like he is suspected of being accused of going to the palace, but like enjoying the scenery in his own back garden, leisurely," Confirm how many drugs to repel red ants are hidden in this phoenix crown. ”

As soon as the words fell, Hua Jin, who was kneeling behind the prime minister, suddenly appeared with a glimmer of fear in his lowered gaze.

When the imperial doctor confirmed that all the beads of the phoenix crown were hollow and stuffed with medicinal powder that only had a repellent effect on red ants, the eighth prince asked to check the jewelry on Hua Jin's body. As a result, it was found that there was a medicinal powder identical to the phoenix crown.

"Father, the eighth princess is vicious and vicious, and she wants to hurt people with red ants, so she prepared ant repellent medicine to protect herself early, and even has a personal maid. But until now, I haven't gotten a trace of ant repellent!Princess, the people you want to harm, including me!" The eighth prince's depressed voice was tinged with a hint of distressing gloom, "I ask myself, it's not thin on her!"

"Lord, forgive the old minister for daring to ask, since the princess has ant repellent medicine," the prime minister asked in a low voice, his hatred could not be suppressed, "Why was he bitten to death by red ants!?"

"That's right, there is ant repellent, why don't you carry it with you?!" The eighth prince's cold voice was teasing, "Hua Jin, you know, you can say it!"

"Yes, the princess didn't bring it herself. Knowing that this ant repellent medicine would affect pregnancy, I didn't carry it with me because I was happy with the prince the night before. Hua Jin burst into tears, turned around and kowtowed to the prime minister like pounding garlic, "It's Hua Jin damn it! Hua Jin didn't protect Miss! Hua Jin really didn't know that red ants would reproduce so fast and become so numerous!"

"You, you mean, you raise red ants?!" the prime minister said in a trembling voice, his face pale as snow as he spoke.

The next moment, the prime minister slipped off the Taishi's chair with a pop, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the emperor again and again, "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty!

"It's normal for people to love their daughters. There was tenderness in the Emperor's majestic voice.

"Father, this concubine Xu is a personal maid Jiaorui, saying that my little concubine is jealous, and she framed Xu Dagongzi for insulting her," the eighth prince said softly and eloquently, "You need to know that this little concubine is a fisherman's daughter, she has no talent and no virtue, only a trace of beauty." To be able to enter my palace to enjoy fine clothes and jade food, it is not easy to come by, and I can't ask for it, how can I use my only strength to slander Xu Dagongzi? You need to know, if she loses my favor, she will have to return to the fishing village to work, how dare she!?"

"Dare to ask the prince," Xu Shangshu's mournful voice trembled slightly: "My son Xu Xiaoyun is bound by the prince, as we all know. but disappeared and died tragically outside the city......"

"This, please ask the imperial envoy to patrol the city to know," the eighth prince interrupted Xu Shangshu's words, his voice was light and smooth, and he was fearless, "I know that Xu Xiaoyun is the captain of the Forbidden Golden Guard, and he is the emperor's person, and it should be handled by the emperor." Therefore, he handed it over to the envoy who patrolled the city to take away. ”

"Your Majesty, Xu Xiaoyun, the captain of the Forbidden Golden Guard, is indeed the last general to take away, and there is a team of sixteen Forbidden Golden Guards who can testify. I didn't want to go halfway, and I was careless for a while, and Xu Xiaoyun jumped into the river to escape. The golden-armored red-tasseled envoy knelt on one knee, his tone sonorous and powerful. The last general chased him outside the city and found Xu Xiaoyun at the outlet of the river, and his body was shattered. Look at this ruthless method, it should be the enemy's doing. ”

"My little concubine ate some dry vinegar with Concubine Xu at best, and the enemy did it, so it has nothing to do with her. Xu Shangshu, what other doubts do you have that you want to ask this king?" The eighth prince elegantly turned sideways and looked at Xu Shangshu through the veil, "Oh! If you ask Concubine Xu what she saw before she became insane, Xiao Wang really doesn't know!"

"Lord Wang, the old minister has transgressed, ask for forgiveness!" Xu Shangshu saw that there was no flaw in the whole thing, even if he knew that he had nothing to do with the concubine, he could only break his front teeth and swallow blood, and knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the old minister listened to the rumors and misunderstood the prince, please punish the emperor!"

"Pity the hearts of the parents of the world, I don't blame you," the emperor sighed and waved his hand, "Let's all go back!"
