Chapter 123: Above the Temple
Lord Bai pursed his lips and sighed, "Mrs. Su, Mrs. Bai...... I did make an appointment with you. ”
At this moment, he still wanted to save Madame Bai in his heart, because he was afraid that if he said that she was from the Crescent Moon Country, he would never see her again in the future. It was the first time in his life that he had lied, and if he could, he wished it would be the last.
“……”
Su Mujin never thought that Lord Bai would go back on her word and blame her for the sins of the Crescent Moon Kingdom. Su Mujin was almost laughed at, she snorted coldly and said, "Lord Bai, who told you about my appointment with you?" ”
"Madame told me."
"Madame Bai, where did he tell you?"
When Mrs. Bai heard Lord Bai's words to protect her, her whole person became a lot more relaxed, and she also had confidence, "Naturally, I told me in the house, Mrs. Su, not only that, but the maids around me also know that the matter has come to this point, you must not blame me again." I don't deserve to be treated so favorably. ”
Su Mujin wanted to get angry, but at the critical moment, she held back. Either way, it's not right to get angry. She didn't speak, but looked at the prince quietly.
The prince understood and said, "Lord Bai, Mrs. Bai, if you lie or not, you can't let people personally verify it before making a decision?" ”
As he spoke, he clapped his hands. The next moment, Madame Bai's personal maid and those caught on the boat were taken to the top of the main hall by the prince's men.
Looking at those people, the prince said in a deep voice: "I heard your wife say that Mrs. Su asked her to go to the lake with her, do any of you know?" ”
When he came, he had long expected that Madame Bai would be dishonest, so he was ready. Anyway, no matter what she said, he could find a way to get her to confess.
Those maids were taken to the main hall for no reason, and they were already panicking. They let out a "poof" and fell to their knees.
One of the maids stammered, "We...... Our wife has never said that those of us who are subordinates are not qualified...... I don't have the right to listen to what Madame said. ”
The prince hooked his lips, "So, Madam Bai's so-called maid knows, but she is actually lying?" ”
Su Mujin's eyes narrowed slightly, quietly waiting for Mrs. Bai's next words. If she guessed correctly, Madame Bai would definitely have countless reasons to exonerate herself next.
It's really too hasty to catch her today, not a single important person has been caught, all the minions caught are some little minions, where can Mrs. Bai be convicted.
No, it's not important, it's important to find a reason to expel the people of the Crescent Country from the capital.
At this moment, Madame Bai didn't say a word, just looked at the maid quietly. The maid who spoke was stared at by her, and immediately changed her words: "Slave maid...... The slave remembered. ”
"Remember? What did Madame say? ”
"Husband...... Madame said...... Mrs. Su invited her to swim in the lake. ”
Su Mujin smiled and asked, "Where did you say that?" ”
The maid subconsciously glanced at Madame Bai, but the Assassin Madame Bai's eyes had already turned her gaze away. The maid retracted her gaze, and the six gods said ownerlessly: "In ...... Said on the lake. ”
"On the lake?" Su Mujin said with a smile: "But on the dock of Ping'an County? ”
That maid had already been scared so much that the six souls had no owner, so who cared what Su Mujin said at this moment. As soon as she asked, she nodded and replied, "Yes...... Be. ”
Hearing this, Su Mujin looked at Mrs. Bai, "Mrs. Bai, no matter what, we should always have a degree of lying, right?" ”
Mrs. Bai said: "This maid doesn't often follow me, and it's normal to not remember what I said to adults in the mansion for a while." ”
The prince snorted coldly, grabbed the Crescent Moon Country who was caught next to him, and asked, "Say, who asked you to come?" ”
The assassin was somewhat trained and mentally strong, and at this moment, he was questioned by the prince like this, and he said in a deep voice: "Naturally...... It was Mrs. Su who sent us. ”
"Huh?"
Su Mujin's face was full of disbelief, and she asked, "Do you know what my name is?" ”
"How can the master's name be called by someone of my status?"
"That's enough."
The emperor sitting on the dragon chair has seen enough of the plays below. If the Crescent Kingdom is dragged to the regent, it will be even more unfavorable to him when he faces the questioning of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs. His purpose was to weaken the power of the Seven Princes, and take advantage of the situation to drain the military power in the capital from the hands of the Seven Princes little by little.
Thinking of this, the emperor said in a deep voice: "Madame Bai, I have already checked your identity, and I asked you to speak just now to give you a chance to admit your mistakes, but you didn't think about it, not only did you not admit your mistakes, but you also intensified your efforts to frame others. What are you guilty of such behavior?! ”
Hearing this, Madame Bai suddenly knelt on the ground, and her heart was full of mixed feelings. It turned out that the emperor already knew everything, no wonder Su Mujin would be in that way and tone when she talked to her.
So, was she just playing a joke on her as a clown? As soon as she thought that she had pulled Lord Bai into the water, Mrs. Bai couldn't help it.
She gritted her teeth and said, "I...... I pleaded guilty, and I just said those words, it was indeed all my fault, I didn't know how to cherish the opportunity given to me by the emperor, but the emperor, all this has nothing to do with Lord Bai, I deliberately said that to Lord Bai, and I ask you to be extrajudicially merciful. ”
Extrajudicial mercy is said lightly. At this moment, Lord Bai knelt down, hugged his fists and said: "Fang Cai Weichen deliberately shielded Mrs. Su, so he deliberately lied and asked the emperor to confess." ”
"No...... The Emperor ......"
"Come on," the emperor gave an order, and instructed the fans: "Put these two people in prison together, and choose the day to fall." ”
"Wait," Madame Bai said unwillingly, "Your Majesty, you are unfair, how can you conclude that the person who assassinated the regent must be from the Crescent Moon Kingdom?" Or do you have a prejudice against the Crescent Moon Country in your heart, so you want to take this opportunity to take revenge on the Crescent Moon Country? ”
A knife on her head is death, a knife on her head is also death, both horizontal and vertical, she just wants to be able to die worthwhile.
"Presumptuous!" The emperor slapped the table and stood up directly, he shouted: "Someone! Take her down and cut her down! ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you're not weak-hearted......"
"Smack!"
A crisp slap print slapped Madame Bai's face, leaving a clear slap print. Su Mujin's entire palm was painful. But there is no way, in order to be able to give Mrs. Bai the stairs, this can only be the case now.
Thinking of this, she said coldly: "Madam Bai, is it enough?!" ”
After saying this, she said in a deep voice: "Come on, Madam Bai has committed the following crimes, hurry up and put her in prison and beat her to twenty boards!" ”
The prince rubbed his eyebrows, looked at Su Mujin, and stopped at his subordinates, "Take them all down." ”
After Madame Bai was taken away, the emperor sat down and looked at Lord Bai on the ground, his face was full of anger.
