Chapter 107: He Didn't Believe Her
"You!"
"Huang'er!" Yun Lou scolded, glared at Yun Huang, "Stand down!" β
"Father!"
"There is all the evidence and material evidence in this matter, there is nothing more to say." Yunlou said.
"Father."
Yun Rongjue suddenly opened his mouth and looked at Yunlou.
Yun Lou looked at Yun Rongjue's gaze, a little ashamed, "Jue'er, I know that she is the person next to you, you miss the old love, but the stakes are very high, and you can't deal with things with your own feelings." β
"Father, the son wants to ask, if she did this, what is the motive?"
Yun Lou looked at Yun Rongjue, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly, "This I have also investigated clearly, she," Yun Lou pointed at Jiang Wu, "The eldest princess has embarrassed her many times and punished her, and this girl has a grudge." β
"The emperor's slave and maid have not decided," Jiang Wu retorted, "Your Majesty, this father-in-law and slave have never met him, and they don't know each other, and they definitely haven't asked for any medicine stones from him." β
Liu Fangfei was silent, looking at the chaos in this hall, blinking her eyes with a faint doubt.
Although Jiang Wu tried her best to refute it, Yunlou didn't believe her, and even presented all kinds of evidence to confirm her charges.
"Okay, since it was her, I'll kill her now!" The envoy of the Bitang Kingdom said angrily, and as he spoke, he pulled out his long sword and pointed it directly at Jiang Wu.
Seeing that the sharp sword was about to stab Jiang Wu, with a bang, Yun Rongjue blocked the sword stabbed at Jiang Wu by the Bitang envoy with the handle of the fan.
"Jue'er!"
The Bitang envoy glared angrily, "What is His Royal Highness King Lin'an doing, do you still want to protect this cheap maid?!" She killed my Bitang minister, and I am bound to have her life today! β
"Jue'er, don't be rude, step down!" Yunlou scolded.
"We can understand the anger of the envoy Zhao, but the envoy of Bitang came to my Daliang this time to make peace, if he is contaminated with blood at this time, it will be unlucky." Yun Rongjue said.
Zhao Envoy snorted coldly, "This will be killed sooner or later!" β
Yun Rongjue's eyebrows trembled slightly, "Even if Zhao Envoy wants to dispose of it, it is more secure and more appropriate to bring people back to Bitang together when he greets his relatives, and then dispose of them." β
"Fifth brother!"
Jiang Wu suddenly raised his eyes, his little hands were tightly twisted together, and his eyes were complicated when he looked at him.
Zhao Envoy glared at Jiang Wu angrily, and after a while, he slowly put away his sword and put it into the sheath, "Okay, I heard what His Royal Highness King Lin'an said is also a little reasonable, it is not appropriate to be contaminated with blood, and today I will leave this cheap maid with a life, and wait for us to bring her back to Da Liang, cut her skin, and let her blood!" β
After Zhao Envoy finished speaking, he turned his eyes to look at Yunlou, "Emperor Daliang, this has been bothered by you to be imprisoned during this time, if she runs away, my Bitang Kingdom will not give up." β
Yunlou bowed, "Although Zhao Envoy can rest assured, come here, escort the prisoner back to the prison, and watch carefully!" β
The guards walked into the hall, holding Jiang Wu on the left and right, and took her away, her eyes were firmly fixed on Yun Rongjue, her eyes were eager and helpless, but ......
She couldn't see any more emotion in Yun Rongjue's eyes, his indifference and calmness at the moment was like a cold winter wind hitting her.
β¦β¦
Yun Rongjue and Yun Huang returned to Lingxiao Palace Yilanxuan after leaving.
Yun Qingqing and He Baoqi were both there, Yun Qingqing knew that today was the deadline, and when they saw the two of them coming back, they hurriedly stepped forward, "How is the fifth brother and the sixth brother?" What about Jiang Wu? Her eyes fell, and she didn't see Jiang Wu coming back with the two.
Yun Rongjue didn't say anything, and walked straight into the main hall.
"Fifth brother and sixth brother, what's the situation?" Yun Qingqing followed in.
"Yes, Brother Yunhuang, is Jiang Wu okay?" He Baoqi asked.
Yun Huang glanced at Yun Rongjue with a calm look, and then said slowly: "That girl has been convicted of the crime, and it has been ...... was imprisoned, and her father handed her over to the envoys of Bitang Kingdom, and wanted to take her back to Bitang Kingdom for disposal. β
Yun Qingqing and He Baoqi were both stunned, and Yun Qingqing reacted anxiously, "How can this be?" How could she have anything to do with this! β
Yun Huang looked at Yun Rongjue and couldn't help but speak: "Fifth brother, what should we do?" Do you just let it go on like this? If that girl really goes to Bitang, she will ...... again" Yunhuang breathed slightly.
Yun Rongjue was silent.
"What's wrong with Niangniang, I've been worried since I came back from the Xuanmur Palace." Sister-in-law served tea, and when she saw that Liu Fangfei's face was a little strange, she asked.
"This palace thinks that this matter today is too strange, and even the emperor's reaction is very strange."
Sister-in-law was puzzled.
"Bengong always felt that this matter should have nothing to do with that girl, how could she dare to do such a thing."
"Niangniang, I don't know my heart if I know people and faces, Jiang Wu and the eldest princess have had frictions, maybe they hold a grudge." Sister-in-law said.
Liu Fangfei shook her head after taking a sip of tea, "The palace thinks it won't, although the girl doesn't know her very well, but on weekdays, I see her and King Lin'an going in and out, that girl is very cautious and cautious, and she is not very bold, even if she really has a grudge against the eldest princess, it is too bold to use such a method, this is not only to make the eldest princess suffer, but also to involve the two countries, she has a few dares to do so." β
"But, hasn't it been investigated, and there are still people who testify against her, and the emperor has also made a conviction, so I don't think there will be anything wrong." Sister-in-law said.
"This is exactly where the palace is puzzled, those so-called convictions, in fact, there are loopholes, the emperor has always been strict in doing things, but now, it seems that he is in a hurry to convict that girl, I am afraid that I will not push that girl out and become a scapegoat."
"The envoys of the Bitang Kingdom did not insist on asking the emperor to give a result, the three-day period is so short, the emperor doesn't want the two countries to be at odds, even if he finds someone to make a scapegoat, he can understand it, why should Niangniang worry so much." Sister-in-law said.
Liu Fangfei's eyes were heavy, "If it's just an ordinary palace maid, it's just an ordinary palace maid, but it's the most favored palace maid around His Royal Highness King Lin'an, the emperor has always loved and feels sorry for King Lin'an, even if he wants to find a scapegoat, he can just find a palace maid, why bother to move the people around King Lin'an to make King Lin'an unhappy." β
Yan'er frowned and thought about it, "What Niangniang said is that it is a little strange. β
Liu Fangfei looked at the tea leaves floating on her face in the cup, and said slowly: "I don't know why, this palace always feels that this matter is related to Changle Palace." β
"Mrs. Chu?"
After Liu Fangfei was silent for a moment, she leaned into her ear and whispered a few words.
ββββ
The incident of the envoy of Bitang Kingdom, with the implementation of Jiang Wu's crime, slowly calmed down, and only on the day of Yun Qingqing's marriage, she went to Bitang with the envoy of Bitang Kingdom to wait for disposal.
Yun Qingqing accepted the reality and calmed down, and because of Jiang Wu's matter, she sank down again.
"See the Third Princess."
Yun Qingqing looked up, and saw that the Jiang lady beside Yun Zhao came over at some point, and there was the incident that Jiang Niangzi did to Jiang Wu before, she didn't have a good impression of this Jiang lady, and she was not very willing to deal with it.
"It's Jiang Niangzi next to the second brother, what is Jiang Niangzi doing in this princess's Yuetang Palace?" Yun Qingqing sat up straight and put away the lost and worried emotions on her face.
Jiang Qiao smiled, "The concubine came here with His Royal Highness King Huai, His Royal Highness has something to deal with, let the concubine take a look at the princess by the way, His Royal Highness knows that the princess is about to get married, and he will inevitably have a lot of emotions in his heart, and he wants to let the concubine come to talk to the princess." β
"The second brother has a heart, Jiang Niangzi is the princess and thank the second brother for his kindness, but I don't bother to accompany Jiang Niangzi."
Yun Qingqing didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Qiao, but she didn't expect Jiang Qiao to be quite thick-skinned, so she stayed between the words and talked to her like a friend.
"Princess, the concubine knows that the princess has been in a complicated mood recently, and it is a festive thing for the princess to get married, but don't let the unworthy person spoil the princess's good mood." Jiang Qiao said.
Yun Qingqing is not stupid, she knows what Jiang Qiao is talking about, and she also knows what she means.
Yun Qingqing tugged at the corners of her lips, "Unworthy person? I don't know who Jiang Niangzi is referring to? β
Jiang Qiao was just about to open his mouth to speak, Yun Qingqing continued: "Oh-Jiang Niangzi is talking about Jiang Wu, if this princess is not mistaken, Jiang Niangzi and Jiang Wu seem to be the same father and sister, what, something happened to her, Jiang Niangzi is not concerned at all." β
Jiang Qiao lowered his eyebrows and smiled, and said in a voice: "Princess, I and that cheap maid are indeed the same father and sister, but we are not the same mother, and the relationship is not deep. And that Jiang Wu has been arrogant and willful since she was a child, and she can't get along with the concubine, and she also has problems with her character, otherwise she wouldn't have done such a bold thing. β
"She's brutal and willful?" Yun Qingqing chuckled, "Princess Ben doesn't think so." β
"That's because she can act, and the princess has been deceived by her."
Jiang Qiao said that he called the maid who was waiting beside him and presented a brocade box to Yun Qingqing.
Yun Qingqing glanced at it, "This is?" β
"The princess is going to get married, and the concubine wants to send some congratulatory gifts to the princess, this is the concubine's little care, and I hope the third princess will not dislike it."
Yun Qingqing opened it and looked at it, the brocade box contained a pair of jade bracelets, the jade bracelets looked very transparent, and they were a good thing.
"Jiang Niangzi said with a smile, this pair of jade bracelets is transparent in color, and it is top-grade at first glance."
"If the princess likes it, it's fine."
"The second brother is really reluctant, Mrs. Jiang, your status is not high, but you give your lady such a good jade bracelet." Yun Qingqing said.
Yun Qingqing's sentence was not of high status, which made Jiang Qiao's face change slightly.
Yun Qingqing looked at it, the smile on the corner of her pink lips deepened, and she closed the brocade box, "Jiang Niangzi, please go back, this princess is tired and wants to rest." β
Yun Qingqing suddenly gave an eviction order, which caught Jiang Qiao off guard.
"Don't forget to take the pair of bracelets back when Mrs. Jiang leaves." As soon as Yun Qingqing finished speaking, Yin Xin beside him closed the brocade box and stuffed it directly to the maid beside Jiang Qiao.
"Princess, this congratulatory gift."
"Mrs. Jiang take it back, the congratulatory gifts given by the second brother are enough, Mrs. Jiang is a concubine, if you really want to give a congratulatory gift to this princess, it is better to go through the princess!" Yun Qingqing stood up and walked straight towards the inner hall.
Jiang Qiao didn't expect to be deflated by Yun Qingqing, and when she came out, her face was full of emotion, and Yun Zhao asked when she saw her like this.
"Your Royal Highness, the concubine is kind-hearted, who would have thought that the third princess would be so unkind."
Yun Zhao raised his eyebrows, "The third sister's temperament is like this, what do you care about with her, this jade bracelet is very transparent, the third sister doesn't want it, you keep it yourself." β
Yun Zhao didn't speak too much for her, and Jiang Qiao pursed his lips.
"By the way, Your Highness, how is Jiang Wu now?" She suddenly remembered and asked.
"Why, don't you dislike your sister? Why do you care so much now? β
"Your Highnessβ" Jiang Qiao snorted.
"What else can she do, she is imprisoned in prison, and when the third sister gets married in a few days, she will follow her to Bitang." Yun Zhao said.
Jiang Qiao's eyes flashed with a glimmer, "Your Highness, can you help the concubine?" β
Yun Zhao raised his eyebrows and listened to Jiang Qiao's slow words. He laughed, "She's your sister, but you don't miss sisterhood at all, and you fall into the well." β
Jiang Qiao Zhengse, "Your Highness, she and the concubine are half-sisters, and the concubine has no sisterhood with her, not to mention that she was not favored by the concubine's father in the past, and now she has done such a bold thing, she often bullied the concubine in the past, and the concubine just wanted to use a trick and punish her, that's all." β
"She bullied you a lot? Yun Zhao smiled and raised his eyebrows, with a look of disbelief.
"Your Highness, do you hurt your concubine?"
Yun Zhao likes Jiang Qiao's coquettishness, and his long arms are wrapped, "Okay, this hall will help you." β
"Your Royal Highness Xie hurts the concubine."
β¦β¦
Inside the prison, it was pitch black, and the creaking rats could be faintly heard.
Jiang Wu wrapped her arms around her knees and curled herself up in a ball, opposite several vicious-looking female prisoners.
Her eyes were filled with tears, helpless and desperate.
She hadn't done it, but why, it fell on her head inexplicably. No one believed her, not even Her Highness......
In the Xuanshu Palace, Yun Rongjue's words followed her like a shadow. He, like the emperor, and everyone else, decided that she had done it.
He didn't believe her.
No one's unbelief made her uncomfortable with his unbelief.
This dark prison is no different from Nan Jiang's cold palace, the only difference is that at that time she still had her mother concubine, as well as Shi Yan and Sister Yuyan, but now she ......
She had nothing left.
That's when it happened. A shadow pressed over, and she subconsciously looked up and saw several people walking over.
Before she could even speak, her hair was grabbed! The head was forced to lean back, "Let go, what are you doing." β
"I heard that you have committed a capital crime, tsk, the newcomer should be enlightened."
Jiang Wu's tears of pain fell straight down, she was the only one in her cell before, but then somehow, these people came in again.
"No......," she whispered.
She didn't do anything like that.
"If you are new, you have to listen to the rules." The person holding her said.
In the next moment, Jiang Wu was pushed aside, and the fists and feet of those people attacked her, and she didn't even have room to resist!
Her fists and feet fell on Jiang Wu's body, and she hurt badly. The physical pain and the sadness in her heart were intertwined, and her tears were falling straight down.
I don't know how long it took for the raindrops of punches and kicks to stop, Jiang Wu lay on the ground in embarrassment, and as long as he moved, it hurt terribly.
She lay on the ground for a long time before she slowly sat up, and those people seemed to be out of breath and didn't pay attention to her anymore.
She was cowering in a corner, blood still standing from the scratched spot on her forearm.
"Celestial Princess, please, watch your step."
Jiang Wu's eyes were just about to close, when she suddenly heard this, she turned her head and looked at the door, her heart tightened. Yun Songzhen......
Yun Songzhen's appearance made Jiang Wu panic.
Yun Songzhen didn't like her in the first place, but now that she was guilty of this matter and became the culprit who killed her, Yun Songzhen's anger can be imagined.
"Go down, and the princess will tell you again." Yun Songzhen said.
"Princess, this ......"
"Go down."
The jailer didn't dare to offend Yun Songzhen, and nodded again and again, "That little one is waiting outside, if the princess has something, just call it." The jailer retreated.
Yun Songzhen slowly approached Jiang Wu, Jiang Wu looked at it, looked at it, and couldn't help but hold her little hands together.
"Princess Ben knew you weren't a good thing! You almost killed this princess, and this account, this princess hasn't calculated it with you. Yun Songzhen said.
Jiang Wu pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.
She knew that whatever she said was useless. Yun Songzhen doesn't like her, she makes it difficult when she has the opportunity on weekdays, how can she believe her now because of her justification. I'm afraid that the more she justifies, the more annoyed Yun Songzhen becomes.
Yun Songzhen's eyes were full of resentment, "You think that with the fifth brother, you can do whatever you want, Jiang Wu, you are only the most humble slave!" β
"Don't speak? Do you think it's okay to pretend to be deaf and dumb? Yun Songzhen was so angry that she pinched Jiang Wu's jaw, forcing her to raise her head.
Jiang Wu's eyelashes trembled slightly, "What did the princess say to the slave?" What the slave said, the princess was afraid and did not want to listen. β
The more indifferent Jiang Wu was, the more annoyed Yun Songzhen became.
"You almost ruined this princess, and you almost ruined the friendship between Da Liang and Bi Tang, Jiang Wu, it's not enough for you to die ten thousand times! Don't think that Fifth Brother can come to save you! β
mentioned Yun Rongjue Jiang Wu's breathing slightly, "The slave maid didn't think about it, the slave maid knew that it was a foregone conclusion, the eldest princess hated the slave maid, but the slave maid had a word, whether the eldest princess believed it or not, this matter was not done by the slave maid, and the slave maid never thought of harming the eldest princess." β
Jiang Wu's words, of course Yun Songzhen didn't believe it, thinking of everything that day, Yun Songzhen was flustered and angry, almost!
Her innocence was almost ruined!
The most important innocent body of the girl's family, and she is also a princess of a country! If something really unfortunate happened that day, what she lost was something that Jiang Wu couldn't even withstand!
"Jiang Wu, you damn it!"
Yun Songzhen suddenly scolded angrily, and the hand that fell on Jiang Wu's jaw suddenly moved down, and grabbed Jiang Wu's neck.
The instinctive reaction to survive made Jiang Wu grab Yun Songzhen's hand, but she was covered in injuries, she hadn't eaten much in the past two days, and she didn't have any strength at all!
"Let it go...... Let go. β
The feeling of suffocation hit his head, and Jiang Wu's little face became more and more red as the strength in Yun Songzhen's hand increased.
I can't breathe!
At this moment, there were many pictures in front of her eyes, when she was with her mother, Shi Yan and Sister Yuyan, there were still ...... and Yun Rongjue......
When she first met him, he taught her how to write, archery, and horseback riding, and she made him cakes, and the image of him teasing her clearly appeared in front of her.
Jiang Wu became less and less energetic.
The hands that struggled to beat became heavier and heavier, and gradually fell down. No more struggles.
