"What's the matter?" Fei Shangshu immediately asked, and all the ministers in the palace also looked at Huo Sijin in unison.

Many people had already listened to Du Ziyu's words in a preconceived notion, but now seeing Huo Sijin's sudden turn of tone, they subconsciously guessed that it was really as Du Ziyu said, it was indeed the prince Chu Zheng who offended her?

But he saw Huo Sijin sneering and said: "It was Changjin who said that he had a dispute with the daughter of the Du family. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, why did it become that Huo Sijin and Du Ziyu had a dispute again? They all thought that because of the matter between men and women, the prince Chu Zheng and Du Yan had a disagreement, and this was the later thing.

But now Huo Sijin said that she was the one who had a dispute with the Du family, not the prince Chu Zheng. According to Huo Sijin's statement, the matter of the prince Chu Zheng framing Zhongliang is not valid.

Cheng Enhou hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Huo Shizi, talking nonsense in front of Your Majesty is a bully!" ”

What did Cheng Enhou mean by this, who could not know the people present, he almost didn't say it clearly, what Huo Sijin said just now was not the truth, she just took the matter on herself, so as to exonerate the crown prince Chu Zheng.

Talking nonsense in front of the emperor is a big mouth for deceiving the king. If Huo Sijin is aware of current affairs, he should tell the truth, so as not to attract death.

Huo Sijin didn't panic at all, his expression was still calm, and he nodded and smiled at Cheng Enhou: "Thank you Cheng Enhou for reminding him." ”

After speaking, he bowed his hand to the emperor and said: "As a courtier, Changjin should abide by the law and be loyal to the king, and he will never dare to say half a lie." Changjin is a man, but he has a dispute with his female dependents, no matter what the reason, it is indeed ungraceful, but if the girl of the Du family wants to use this matter to slander Changjin, Changjin will definitely have to argue a few words for herself. Please ask Your Majesty for permission, Rong Changjin and Miss Du confronted each other in court. ”

Cheng Enhou's face sank instantly, and Huo Sijin's words directly took out the crown prince Chu Zheng and took the matter all on himself.

How can this be!

"Huo Shizi is too worried, the person who Miss Du is suing is the prince, not you." Cheng Enhou rushed in front of the emperor and immediately took the words.

His target is the crown prince Chu Zheng, not Huo Sijin, a small person. If it weren't for Huo Sijin's origin in the Jingbei Marquis Mansion and some kinship with the third prince Chu Li, he wouldn't have let her appear in the main hall at all.

"Prince?" Huo Sijin looked surprised, "How is this possible?" When she was in Huzhou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince concealed his true identity, and Miss Du didn't know the Prince at all. ”

Huo Sijin's gaze fell on Du Ziyu, "Miss Du, even your father doesn't know the true identity of His Royal Highness the Prince, where did you find out?" ”

"I ......"

Before Du Ziyu could speak, Huo Sijin immediately took over, "Just go to Huzhou and ask, if anyone knows who His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, you can see it." ”

When Chu Zheng was in Huzhou, he never revealed his identity in front of outsiders, and the officials and people in Huzhou did not know that Xie Tianxing was the crown prince Chu Zheng. If Du Ziyu said that she knew the prince, this would not be tenable at all.

"Miss Du, as Chengenhou Fangcai said, talking nonsense in front of His Majesty is a big crime of bullying the king!" Huo Sijin said with a cold face.

This lie is too easy to puncture, Du Ziyu suddenly panicked, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her legs kneeling on the ground were weak, and she could barely support her body.

"I ...... I'm not talking nonsense, when I was in Huzhou, I really didn't know that he was the crown prince. Biting his lower lip tightly, Du Ziyu looked in Chu Zheng's direction, and said in a quiet tone, "If I knew that he was the crown prince, I wouldn't have had hope for him." ”

If she knew that Xie Tianxing was the crown prince Chu Zheng, she would never dare to think of anything else. At this moment, Du Ziyu regretted it, if she hadn't had that idea, her father wouldn't have had an accident......

Du Ziyu didn't know that even if she didn't have a dispute with Chu Zheng, Du Yancai would still be escorted to Beijing.

"You don't know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how can you sue His Highness......"

Before Huo Sijin finished speaking, he was picked up by Cheng Enhou, "Huo Shizi, the person who tried the case was Shangshu of the Criminal Department, not you." ”

Cheng Enhou's tone was very unkind, he could see that Huo Sijin was doing everything possible to help the prince Chu Zheng exonerate, and he was born this person who was not young, but he was born with sharp teeth and clever tongue, and everything would turn around when it came to her mouth.

The best thing to do is to shut her up.

"Master Hou, Changjin is not trying the case, just confronting Miss Du."

"Changjin!" Prince Chu Zheng called, "Changjin, step aside, the person who Miss Du is suing is this palace, and this palace hasn't opened its mouth yet, so you can't talk too much." ”

Huo Sijin had a way to push back Cheng Enhou's words, but since the crown prince Chu Zheng opened her mouth, she swallowed the words in her mouth.

"Changjin is overstepping, please forgive the Hou of Cheng." After speaking, he respectfully saluted Cheng Enhou before stepping aside.

"Huo Changjin, what do you mean by this, in front of Your Majesty, why do you want to ask Benhou for forgiveness, you ......" Chengen Hou tilted his neck angrily, this salute seemed respectful, but in fact it was a trap for him. This is the Jinluan Palace, and the person sitting on it is the master, how can he Yao Weiji be big.

"Since Cheng Enhou knows that his father is on top, and his father hasn't spoken yet, you should keep your mouth shut!" Chu Zheng glanced at Cheng Enhou coldly.

Cheng Enhou suddenly realized, and hurriedly looked up at the emperor, only to see the emperor's calm face, very displeased.

Huo Sijin seems to be the confidant of the crown prince Chu Zheng, and the prince and Cheng Enhou have always been incompatible, and Cheng Enhou targets Huo Sijin everywhere, in fact, he is fighting with the prince. Huo Sijin confronted Du Ziyu, and even the emperor didn't shut her up, but Cheng Enhou jumped out in a panic to make more accusations, and the emperor couldn't help but start to wonder if Du Ziyu's appearance in front of the emperor was Cheng Enhou's arrangement?

Seeing the emperor's look in his eyes, Cheng Enhou's heart was full of alarm bells, and he had been tricked.

This Huo Sijin is too smart, and he provoked the emperor's suspicion in just a few words.

For the sake of today, he can't say more than half a word, otherwise if he says one more word, the emperor's suspicion of him will be even deeper.

Seeing that Chengenhou had stopped, the emperor spoke, "Fei Shangshu, you continue." ”

At this moment, Fei Shangshu finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, just now Huo Sijin and Chengenhou came and went, fighting with each other, but he, the chief judge, did not dare to stop, just because these two people represented the two factions of the crown prince and the fifth prince.

"Miss Du, since you don't know the prince, how can you sue the prince?" Fei Shangshu said with a straight face, "This official advises Miss Du to tell the truth, lies are untenable." ”

The crown prince Chu Zheng and Huo Sijin are both there, if Du Ziyu tells a lie, they will be exposed on the spot.

Du Ziyu clenched her teeth and was silent for a moment before she spoke: "It was my father who told me." I secretly went to see my father in prison, and he told me everything. He did not embezzle public funds, and the silver was sent to the border and to His Royal Highness the Prince. Now, the crown prince has put all the blame on his father. The prince threatened the lives of our whole family to force my father to confess. My father would rather die than be infamous, so he committed suicide and left a suicide note. My father is determined to die, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still safe and sound, I have no choice but to sue the emperor. ”

Hearing this, Fei Shangshu's heart was excited, Du Yan was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, she could go in to see him, it could only be that the people in the prison released water and quietly let her in. Fei Shangshu complained in his heart, no matter what was right or wrong in this matter, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, it was a fact that he was not well supervised.

"Did you bring in the poison that Lord Du used to commit suicide?" Fei Shangshu is counting on being able to interrogate Du Yancai's cause of death and explain the matter, and maybe he can offset the merits.

The teeth clenched tighter, Du Ziyu didn't squeak, just nodded slightly.

She was silent for a moment, and suddenly looked at Chu Zheng, "It's all because of you, you forced my father to death!" I thought about you differently, it was my fault, but you didn't say that you were the prince. ”

The implication is that those who don't know are not guilty, it was Chu Zheng who did not verify her identity in advance, so that she had thoughts that she shouldn't have.

"If you don't marry me, my father didn't say much, and sent me to the temple to become a monk. We have all retreated to this point, but you have to kill them all, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are so vicious! ”
