Chapter 168: Killing
"Uncle Hui's words, it was indeed Miss Jiang who saved me."
Hearing this, the prince nodded hurriedly.
"On the West Mountain that day, the situation was critical, if it weren't for Miss Jiang and Lord Meng sacrificing their lives to protect each other, I'm afraid I would have died at the hands of the assassins."
"In order to save me from being seriously injured, Miss Jiang wandered with us in the mountains for several days before we were able to return to Beijing, and later Uncle Wang sent us to the city."
Jiang Yunqing couldn't help but be surprised when she heard the prince's words.
She had said similar things in the Imperial Garden before.
At that time, she just wanted people to think that she was with the crown prince and Meng Qi in the days when she disappeared.
The prince is young, and Meng Qi is her cousin, as long as it is confirmed that she delayed her return to Beijing because she saved the prince, no one will talk about her disappearance in Xishan in the future, and Li Yunshu and Li will not want to use this matter to tarnish her reputation.
It's just that she has never confessed to the prince, how could he say the same thing?
Jiang Yunqing couldn't help but look at Jun Mo beside the prince.
Jun Mo glanced at her and said lightly:
"It was indeed the city that the king sent Meng Qi and Miss Jiang back to that day, but it was only because the situation was chaotic at that time, and the assassin of the prince had not yet been caught, so the king asked them to keep their mouths shut and not publicize the matter to the public."
"Later, Cai Jie was imprisoned, the assassin was arrested, and the king, together with the crown prince, wanted to go to Jiang's house to thank him, but he didn't expect that the Jiang family had expelled Miss Jiang from the house."
Jiang Qingping was also at the table, and his face turned pale when he heard this.
He hurriedly got up, staggered forward and knelt on the ground with a "bang", and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know about this. ”
"I don't know?"
Jun Mo said coldly, "But how did this king hear that Marquis Jiang intended to succeed his second son, and indulged the people in the mansion to slander Miss Jiang's innocence, implying that she had been defiled on the West Mountain. ”
"Miss Jiang was walking with the prince when she was in Xishan that day, you insulted her reputation like this, do you want to force her to death to make way for the relay room of your mansion, or do you want to use her to slander the prince and ruin the reputation of my prince Dayan."
"Marquis Jiang, can this king think that your Jiang family is dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the Prince?!"
Jiang Qingping's face was bloody.
Regardless of the relationship between Emperor Yuan Cheng and the crown prince.
The crown prince is the prince, and he is the rightful prince of Dayan.
Even if the Jiang family gets the favor again, as long as they are convicted of wanting to frame the prince and ruin the prince's reputation, it will be a treason.
In front of everyone's eyes, even Emperor Yuan Cheng couldn't protect them.
Jiang Qingping hurriedly kowtowed and said urgently: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is my Prince of Dayan, how dare the minister be dissatisfied with him, besides, Yun Qing is also the daughter of the minister, and she is the young lady of my Jiang family, if the minister ruins her reputation, what good will it do to my Jiang family?" ”
"Then why did Miss Jiang go to Meng's house?"
Jun Mo's face was cold, "The people of Gyeonggi Wei said that Miss Jiang was severely reprimanded by Hou Ye and whipped on the street, if it wasn't for the people of the Meng family who rescued her in time, I am afraid that she would have lost her life long ago." ”
"I ......"
Jiang Qingping was speechless for a moment.
The events of that night did not allow him to justify, besides, it was a fact that Jiang Yunqing lived in the Meng family, and it was also a fact that he hurt Jiang Yunqing.
Jun Mo was so blocked that he couldn't defend it at all.
The people around whispered.
Emperor Yuan Cheng's face had sunk above.
"Cheng Enhou, what the king said is true?"
"How dare you be disobedient to the prince?!"
