"If according to the princess's words, the concubine's father, Prime Minister Lu Cheng, is also a courtier who is loyal to the emperor for the country and the people, but he didn't go into battle to kill the enemy, but he did his best to die in the country and the people, how can the princess let Princess Jing do such a thing without punishment because of the size of the official position in the family?" Lu Huiling said sharply.

"Concubine Ming, you know that this princess categorically doesn't mean this, I'm just persuading my father to investigate this matter, and the reason for the matter can't just listen to your side of the story." Qi Wangshu looked at Lu Huiling and said solemnly.

"The palace people present in Minghuatang can all testify to it." Lu Huiling's eyes widened and said, "Isn't the princess slandering her concubines?!" ”

"Concubine Ming slandered one by one, but the father and mother don't know what happened, Minghuatang is full of palace people from Concubine Ming's mother, Concubine Ming has skills, if you want them to say something, this is naturally easy!" Qi Wangshu did not lose his momentum at all.

"Your Majesty, in the past, before entering the palace, the princess had a dislike with the concubines, and now she looks at the concubines in every way, and asks the emperor to make decisions for the concubines!" Lu Huiling saw that she couldn't earn Qi Wangshu, so she turned to look at Qi Bingyu, she believed that Qi Bingyu loved her so much, so he would naturally favor her.

"Father, Erchen did go out of the palace and lived in Jingwangfu for a long time, Erchen can obviously feel that the princess's temperament has changed, and she will definitely not be so impulsive, presumably Concubine Ming Xu said something to her, which will cause Huanqing to make a big mistake." Qi Wangshu also turned to look at his father, and said word by word clearly.

"Since Huanqing married into the palace, she has been treating her maidservants like sisters, and she has also complied with her father's will to treat servants well.

Huanqing is pure and good by nature, she is the daughter of General Liang, General Liang is a good general of the Celestial Empire, her father is not familiar with Huanqing, and she should know General Liang's personality, although Huanqing has a stubborn temperament, she has never harmed a person's life, not like Concubine Ming... Snakes and scorpions are simply born in vain! ”

Qi Wangshu looked at Lu Huiling, and gritted his teeth with hatred.

"The princess only unilaterally said that the concubine killed Princess Jing's maidservant Jiang Yi, but did she see it with her own eyes?" These words were in Lu Huiling's hands, after all, she did not give the order to kill Jiang Yi, but only made Jiang Yi suffer some flesh and blood, but it is a fact that Liang Huanqing rashly acted against her.

Qi Bingyu had been watching the two of them fight with red faces, frowning, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but ask Qi Wangshu: "Have you seen the body of the servant girl Jiang Yi with your own eyes?" ”

"I..."Qi Wangshu was dumbfounded, "Erchen didn't." ”

Xia Rongxin, who was kneeling on the side, was worried that Qi Bingyu would reprimand Qi Wangshu, so she said: "Your Majesty, although Wangshu didn't see it with her own eyes, she is not a lying child, it must have been Concubine Ming who said so, so she would be so sure." ”

"Did Concubine Mei ever hear her concubine say that she would kill Jiang Yi with a cane?" Lu Huiling's words were sharp, and he turned to look at Qi Bingyu, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, but now Concubine Mei has not heard of it with her own ears, Princess Wangshu has not seen it with her own eyes, and Princess Jing has only heard a few words without verifying it with her own eyes, so she poured dirty underwater black hands on the concubines, if this kind of thing happens again, Minghuatang can't tolerate the concubines, how can the concubines continue to stay in this palace?" ”

"Father! Since Concubine Ming said that hearing is false and seeing is believing, now she only unilaterally said that the bruises on her body were caused by Princess Jing, but no one present saw it with their own eyes, even the person concerned, Princess Jing, was nowhere to be seen at this time. If you only listen to the words of Concubine Ming, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public! Qi Wangshu did not shy away from reprimanding Lu Huiling in front of Qi Bingyu.

Even Xia Rongxin, who was kneeling on the side, couldn't help but sweat for her.

"Where is Princess Jing?" Qi Bingyu asked in a deep voice.

Gonggong He looked around, leaned over to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't see Princess Jing. ”

Qi Bingyu, Xia Rongxin, and Qi Wangshu looked at Lu Huiling with their eyes, as if they were asking about Liang Huanqing's whereabouts.

"Your Majesty... Princess Jing suddenly attacked the concubine in a rage, the palace people couldn't do anything, and they couldn't persuade her, so they had to lock her and Jiang Yi in the side hall together, the conscience of heaven and earth, the concubine categorically did not kill Jiang Yi. Lu Huiling put his hand on the emperor's knee, tilted his head and begged bitterly, "Your Majesty, the concubines entered the palace alone, how could they expect that Concubine Mei and their concubines treated the concubines like this, and hoped that the emperor would give the concubines justice." ”

"Concubine Ming, you are so bold! Liang Huanqing is the concubine of King Jing, and the only daughter of General Liang who is loyal to the country and the people! They are still guarding the territory! Because of the lack of food and grass and hunger, you actually imprisoned Princess Jing in the side hall, didn't it chill their hearts and teach the world to laugh! As soon as Qi Wangshu heard that Lu Huiling had locked Liang Huanqing in the side hall, he became angry, pointing out that landing Lu Huiling was a scolding.

"That is also Princess Jing's attack on the concubine first!" Lu Huiling really couldn't stand Qi Wangshu's impulsive temperament, Rao was pretending to be gentle and virtuous in front of the emperor, and she couldn't help but quarrel with Qi Wangshu, "Princess, don't be so unreasonable, if it wasn't Princess Jing who attacked the concubine first, why would the concubine imprison Princess Jing?" ”

"That's it!" Qi Bingyu didn't want to listen to the two of them arguing anymore, "Since you said that Princess Jing is in the side hall, then ask her to come over and interrogate together, and if the servant girl is still alive, bring the servant girl with you, I want to know the ins and outs of the matter!" ”

"Xu Lan, you can bring a few people to bring Princess Jing and her maidservant Jiang Yi together." Lu Huiling is not afraid of any interrogation, because she is confident that she did not kill Jiang Yi, and Liang Huanqing did do something to her, even if only the people of Minghuatang Palace saw it, then this is an indisputable fact in front of Liang Huanqing.

"He Sheng will go with you." Qi Bingyu waved his hand and asked Gonggong He behind him to follow.

"Father, son-in-law is also going." Qi Wangshu knelt straight, looking at the emperor with his eyes, firm as a torch.

Xu Lan and Gonggong He both stopped and waited for the emperor's arrangement.

"What are you going to do, isn't it in the side hall?" Qi Bingyu looked at Qi Wangshu and asked with some annoyance.

Xia Rongxin also quietly pulled the sleeve of Laqi Wangshu, suggesting that she should stop making trouble.

But Qi Wangshu doesn't care about this, she has always been willful and active, and she must do what she wants to do before she stops: "Princess Jing is isolated in the harem, and her father and husband are all on an expedition..." ”

Qi Wangshu said that Liang Huanqing's father and husband were on an expedition, wanting to remind the emperor not to hurt the hearts of the loyal ministers, after all, she didn't dare to guarantee whether Liang Huanqing really did something to Lu Hui.

Looking at Lu Huiling's appearance and slightly scattered bun, her crying red eyes were a little pitiful, if it was really Liang Huanqing's doing, then I was afraid that the emperor would favor Lu Huiling, and he was anxious to protect her, and he really punished Liang Huanqing.

"Your Majesty..."Xia Rongxin felt that what she said was reasonable, so she also looked at the emperor, as if she was about to plead bitterly.

Qi Bingyu waved his hand: "Okay, okay, let's go." ”

Qi Wangshu listened, and before he had time to thank him, he hurriedly followed Xu Lan and Gonggong He to the side hall.

There was a lock wrapped around the door of the side hall, and there was no one guarding the door, Xu Lan carried a lantern to lead them over, and the room was quiet like no one.

Qi Wangshu walked in the front, looking at the calm side hall door, but there was a trace of panic in her heart, she didn't know why, she always felt that something was wrong inside.

"You locked them up and never came to see them again?" Qi Wangshu asked.

"Back... If you go back to the princess, it has only been locked up for less than an hour, and she is not a prisoner or anything, so where do you need someone to take care of it. Xu Lan said cautiously, not knowing what Princess Wangshu meant by asking, but she was always afraid that she would be angry for no reason.

The side hall was very close, and it didn't take long to reach the door, Qi Wangshu hurriedly wanted to push the door in, but was blocked by a lock.

"Open it up!" Qi Wangshu said angrily to Xu Lan.

"Oops." Xu Lan hurriedly took out the key and stepped forward to unlock the lock, "Princess, please." ”

Qi Wangshu pushed open the door of the side hall, and there was a strong smell of blood, Qi Wangshu covered his nose and frowned, and suddenly did not dare to step forward again.

She looked back at Xu Lan, as if she wanted to question why there was such a heavy smell of blood in her, Xu Lan and Grandpa He naturally smelled it, but they all looked confused.

"Princess... The slave doesn't know. Xu Lan was afraid that Qi Wangshu would look at her, so she turned on the lantern and wanted to go in to check.

Minghua Hall has never been inhabited, and since its establishment, Lu Huiling is the first living master here, and the side hall has hardly been used.

Xu Lan covered her nose and went in and lit the candle, the side hall instantly lit up, she looked around to find the figure of Princess Jing and the maidservant Jiang Yi, suddenly, she saw two people in the corner of the wall in a pool of blood, and her eyes widened in astonishment: "Ah-"

At this time, Qi Wangshu and Gonggong He walked in together to check, and the scene in front of them stunned everyone.

"Doctor Legend! Spread the Imperial Doctor!! After being stunned for a while, Qi Wangshu shouted.

Xu Lan's leg had already been paralyzed, and Gonggong He came back to his senses and hurriedly ran out to find the imperial doctor, after all, this is Princess Jing, and no one can afford to have an accident.

Qi Wangshu hurriedly ran to Liang Huanqing's side, at this time Liang Huanqing had a clear scratch on his face, his body was stained with Jiang Yi's blood, and her elegant clothes instantly turned dark red, she and Jiang Yi lay in a pool of blood together, and the blood spread around, dyeing the carpet in the side hall red and soaking it.

"Huanqing, Huanqing..." Qi Wangshu hugged Liang Huanqing's body and probed her snort, which was a little weak, but there was still a breath of life.
