Chapter 159: Escape
Lord He's question made Lu Qiaohui panic.
"I ...... I'm not lying, I'm ...... I can't remember...... My head, my head hurts so much......" Lu Qiaohui couldn't justify herself, and the center of the panic made a plan, sitting on the ground with her head in her hands, doing painfully!
Shi Tianyi saw that he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and after whispering a few words of comfort, he opened his mouth to speak for Lu Qiaohui:
"My lord, Lu Shi had a head injury and lost her memory before she met this king, so she can hardly remember what happened before. If you have to suspect that Lu is someone's wife, then where do you put this king and you? Could it be that this king is so broken that he wants to pick up other people's remaining women? ”
"The origin of the Lu family is unknown, of course the lower officials have to find out clearly. Since Lu can't remember the head injury, come on, bring a witness. ”
Although Shi Tianyi is a king with a different surname, he is also the prince of the emperor, and according to his official status, Lord He has to give him a face.
As soon as Lord He's voice fell, a man in a cloth shirt was brought up, and Shi Tianyi frowned when he saw someone coming. He let go of Lu Qiaohui and sat back in his seat, secretly observing.
When the witness came up, Lu Qiaohui's heart was also tight. She thought that Yao Junnan would be called to confront her, but when she really saw someone, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Who's kneeling?"
Although Lord He had never met Yao Junnan, he had heard that he was once a Shu Jishi and was expelled from the capital because of his life style, but it was a pity that he was contempt.
Lord He's official authority erupted, Yao Junnan couldn't help but shiver, and almost fell to the ground with his whole body.
"Villain Yao Junnan."
"Who are you, Lu Qiaohui?" Master He asked.
"It's a villain's wife." Yao Junnan replied.
"Where now?"
"He was killed in August this year."
"Look at the people around you, do you know them?"
Yao Junnan hesitated for a moment, then stood up and raised his head to look at the woman standing beside him.
When his eyes fell on Lu Qiaohui's face, he looked at her in amazement, and couldn't help but stand up:
"You? …… You're not dead? That...... That one...... Who is the one who wears your garment? Where have you been? Why not go home? You talk ......."
Yao Junnan was suddenly excited, got up and rushed to Lu Qiaohui's side, grabbed her shoulders and shook her together.
Lu Qiaohui pressed her hand against Yao Junnan's chest and twisted her face, screaming loudly: "Let go of me, who are you?" I don't know you! ”
"You don't know me? I know you've always hated me and thought I wasn't worthy of you. Lu Qiaohui, let me tell you, even if you run to the edge of the sky, you are still my woman. Yao Junnan gritted his teeth and slammed Lu Qiaohui to the ground.
Shi Tianyi, the king of Yunnan County, who was listening, saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to help Lu Qiaohui up. After comforting a few words softly, he let go of Lu Qiaohui and walked towards Yao Junnan. didn't say anything, went up directly to Yao Junnan's face and beat him violently.
Before Lord He could stop it, Yao Junnan had been punched and kicked by Shi Tianyi and fell to the ground and couldn't stand up, his face was colorful, the corners of his face were bloody, and he had turned into a pig's head.
The people present saw it and talked about it one after another.
"It seems that this Lu family is really Yao Junnan's wife......"
"This Yunnan county king is too bold to dare to beat witnesses in court......"
"The Lu family is too bold to dare to use fake death to get rid of the identity ......"
……
"Yunnan County King, you dare to beat the witness, come and pull him out." Lord He patted the wood in surprise and ordered.
Someone on both sides came up to take Shi Tianyi. Shi Tianyi turned around, shook off the people around him, and strode out by himself angrily.
Lord He was shocked again, stopped everyone's discussion, and continued to ask about the case.
"Yao Junnan, you said that the woman in front of you is your wife, what evidence do you have?"
Evidence? Yao Junnan touched his red and swollen face, and said hatefully: "Lu Qiaohui has a red birthmark the size of a copper coin on the inner thigh. Adults can send someone to check, she must be the Lu family. ”
As soon as Yao Junnan said this, Lu Qiaohui's face changed suddenly. There was a birthmark on her inner thigh, but she didn't expect Yao Junnan to notice it after only having sex with her once.
Lu Qiaohui's face naturally changed and could not escape everyone's eyes, and the eldest princess first agreed that she could recommend a grandmother to be examined.
But then he was refuted by Lord He: "It's not the face of the eldest princess that Xia Guan refutes, the eldest princess is the plaintiff, for the sake of fairness, the people who check the Lu family can't have the slightest connection with the eldest princess." ”
"Why did the prince recommend one? Mama Jiang is an old man in the palace, and she has always been passed on in the palace with her sternness and fairness. Ho, is it possible? ”
The second prince, who had not spoken, suddenly opened his mouth and looked at Lord He.
Xiao Wenxuan stared at the eyes of the second prince, but what he saw from them was a hidden cunning, and he sneered in his heart.
Except for the second prince involved, naturally no one objected, and Lord He sent someone to invite Mama Jiang.
In the lobby, Lu Qiaohui's sweat floated on her face. If someone verifies that she is Lu Qiaohui, it will be equivalent to confirming that she is bullying the king, and this crime can be beaten to the point of being killed, and the crime can be exiled, which means that the good life she has just lived is coming to an end.
Lu Qiaohui was worried in her heart, the eldest princess was bound to win, the attitude of the second prince was obscure, but Xiao Wenxuan looked indifferent.
Everyone has their own calculations in their hearts, and Mama Jiang is here.
Mama Jiang saluted the audience and stood aside. The Ho-sama trial continued.
"Mama Jiang, this official came to you to check whether there are birthmarks on Lu's body. You are an old man in the palace, do you know the consequences of cheating in secret? ”
Mama Jiang is a fat mama, she leaned over slightly and saluted Lord He and said, "The slave knows." ”
Lord He nodded.
"Then ask Mama Jiang to take the Lu family for a physical examination."
Lu Qiaohui was restrained by two grandmothers and went to the back hall. Lu Qiaohui looked around for Shi Tianyi in a panic, but Shi Tianyi was blocked out of the lobby because of the beating, and Lu Qiaohui, who had nothing to do, was reluctantly taken away.
In the center of the lobby, Yao Junnan knelt on the ground, staring at Lu Qiaohui's back, and scolded secretly: "Cheap/goods, wait until your true face is revealed, you will suffer." ”
Time seemed to stand still, and the people in the hall whispered or were silent.
After a long time, there was finally a sound of footsteps from the back hall, and Lu Qiaohui was brought back by Mama Jiang.
Lu Qiaohui half-covered her face with her sleeves and returned to her original position.
Mama Jiang stood in the middle of the hall and saluted Lord He. "My lord, the slave has been checked."
Lord He felt the burning gaze of everyone in the hall. He straightened out and asked, "What is the result?" ”
Mama Jiang glanced at the second prince inadvertently, bowed her head and said: "Lord Hui, the slave maid has carefully inspected it, and there is no birthmark on the inside of the two legs of the concubine of the king of Yunnan County. ”
"Oh?"
"Wow!"
"How is that possible?"
"Oh my God?"
Mama Jiang's words amazed everyone present.
Even Lu Qiaohui, who covered her face with her sleeves and faced it shamelessly, was stunned on the spot: What's the matter? What is this operation?
The eldest princess couldn't accept this result, so she stood up angrily and pointed at Mama Jiang and asked in a fierce voice: "Impossible, Mama Jiang, have you checked carefully?" If you dare to lie and help the abuse, this princess will not be able to spare you. ”
Mama Jiang knew the identity of the eldest princess, she lowered her head and hesitated for a moment, raised her head, met the gaze of the eldest princess, and repeated firmly:
"The slave maid has carefully checked, and there are no birthmarks on the inside of the two legs of the concubine of Yunnan County."
No? Really mistaken? The eldest princess sat down in a lost soul and looked at Xiao Wenxuan.
Xiao Wenxuan stretched out his hand to hold her arm and whispered comfortingly: "It can't be fake, and it can't be fake." Rest assured, Auntie, I won't stop there. ”
When he said these words, Xiao Wenxuan's eyes looked at the second prince, his eyes were facing each other, and the second prince smiled at him, unusually calm and calm.
Yao Junnan, who was sitting on the ground, didn't dare to accept this fact, this woman was Lu Qiaohui, how could someone not be Lu Qiaohui when she had a physical examination? His daughter-in-law was robbed by others, Yao Junnan stood up from the ground unwillingly, pointed at Lu Qiaohui and roared:
"Impossible, impossible, this old mother must have been bought by the Lu family. My lord, she is Lu Qiaohui, even if she turns to ashes, I can recognize her.
"You recognize it when it turns to ashes?"
The second prince suddenly spoke up and sneered at Yao Junnan.
"And what about the one buried in your house? Yao Junnan, if I'm not mistaken, you were impeached because of your inappropriate lifestyle and were kicked out of the capital by your father. Now here is starting to be full of nonsense again, Lord He, this prince suggests that this prodigal son beat the twenty boards and drive them out of the capital, and stop polluting everyone's ears with wild words. ”
The words of the second prince reminded everyone of what had happened, and then cast a little more contempt and disdain in Yao Junnan's eyes.
Such an unbearable person, even if his wife leaves, deserves some sympathy.
Mama Jiang's testimony saved Lu Qiaohui's life, and Lord He announced on the spot that the eldest princess's accusation against the Lu family for bullying the monarch was not established.
The Lu family was picked up by Shi Tianyi, and Yao Junnan was driven out of the capital by the 20th board. As for the eldest princess who is suspected of false accusations, Lord He will report to the emperor before issuing a punishment.
Xiao Wenxuan sent the eldest princess home, and Haosheng comforted her a few words before leaving.
……
In Fule Temple, Jing Shu looked at Su Muling and Xiao Wenxuan showing their affection in public, and her heart felt like she had knocked over a few bottles of old vinegar.
"Okay, the prince is gone, where are you going, I'll accompany you."
Su Muling took Jing Shu's hand affectionately, and she didn't know that she thought they were close friends who had been together for many years.
Su Muling had just had breakfast, and the air was fresh and cool in the early morning, followed by more than a dozen imperial guards. Su Muling accompanied Jing Jing Shu to the main hall to worship the Bodhisattva, and after donating incense money, he took Jing Shu around.
Quietly Shu got up before dawn, and set off to the outside of the city after a simple bite of food, the road was bumpy, and the little things he ate had already been consumed.
At this time, Su Muling walked like a dog for most of the hour, and he was already weak in his legs and feet, and he couldn't walk.
"The princess has so much physical strength, the little woman really can't walk. The princess doesn't have to accompany the little girl anymore, the princess can do it herself. ”
Jing Shu was helpless and drove Su Muling back.
Su Muling was waiting for her to say this, and said goodbye to her with a face full of 'regret': "Okay, then I'll go back first." If Miss An settles down, send someone to tell me, I'll come back to you after lunch. ”
Jing Shu hurriedly nodded in agreement, and Su Muling left 'reluctantly'.
Sending Su Muling away, Jing Jing Shu looked at her back and secretly scolded her in her heart, a merchant girl, and walked her like a dog as soon as they met, and she almost stuck out her tongue and gasped.
Su Muling stayed a little farther away, stopped and whispered a few words to Wuying, and Wuying nodded and left.
Su Muling returned to the room and ordered the guards to strengthen their vigilance, as long as it was not the prince's person, no one else was allowed to approach.
