Chapter 135: Clearing Grievances
"The princess Niangniang's words really make the courtiers don't know how to pick it up, today's seat arrangement is clear to everyone, I and my maid have not left the position when the lady is still at the banquet, how can this button come to the hands of the courtiers?"
"Besides, the people who can get in touch with Niangniang must be people you trust, in that case, how can they harm you?"
Liu Zhixun had not regarded her as a friend since he learned from the Fifth Prince about the purpose of her and Murong Pei's coming to the Liang Kingdom.
So now, Liu Zhixun didn't care about it at all, and told everything he knew.
"The crown princess left when the banquet was just opened, and this courtier can testify."
Sitting at the table behind the crown prince and the crown princess were Lord Shen and his wife from the Imperial Observatory, both of whom had upright personalities and would not lie and deceive people.
So for a while, everyone put their suspicious eyes on Murong Xi.
Where had Murong Xi seen such a scene, and she immediately shed a cold sweat, what she had just taken from the imperial study was still in her sleeve, if someone found out, wouldn't it be that Brother Wang's plan would also be ruined?
Just as he was trying to transfer things to the maid behind him while everyone was not looking, the prince suddenly spoke.
"So everyone can suspect the crown princess? She just accidentally bumped into a murder case, and she didn't know when she lost her things, and now she was being used to frame her, how come everyone doesn't distinguish between black and white? ”
The crown prince had to stand up at this moment, even if he was very suspicious in his heart that Song Qingying's death was related to Murong Xi.
But he needs Murong Pei's help now, so no matter what, he has to save people today, otherwise what he will lose is not a crown princess and a side concubine.
"That's all for this matter first, and then we will investigate tomorrow, General Qin, I believe that this matter has nothing to do with your wife, besides, you will find out the truth and give me an explanation, right?"
The emperor has been watching coldly, how can he not see who killed Song Qingying, but now he can't tear his face with Mu Guo, and after some time, after he is ready, he will settle the new accounts and old accounts together.
"Commandment."
"Courtiers, thank you Emperor Longen."
This matter was washed away from Liu Zhixun's body.
Looking at Song Qingying, who was already stiff in the arms of the prime minister's wife, Liu Zhixun couldn't help but feel sad, the man she loved not only had no affection for her, but helped the woman speak, if she could have predicted this scene, I don't know if she would have tried to ruin the marriage contract with Qin Tianze for him.
After such a thing, everyone had no joy, and the emperor excused himself to be too strong to drink, so he left with Concubine Zhao first, leaving Concubine Shu to preside over the overall situation.
"Madam, the slave is sorry for you, you were almost framed."
Jin Xue knelt on the ground in general, others didn't know why she left her seat, but she knew very well, if it wasn't for her commission, where would Liu Zhixun have anything to do with this matter?
"It's all over, don't mention it again, you go to find the fifth prince, and let him secretly send someone to find the sixth princess with you."
Liu Zhixun shook her head, signaling that she didn't have to think so much, only to see Murong Xi's expression, thinking that this matter was not designed by her, but that she just happened to hit the muzzle.
Now that she is tired, she wants to go back to rest, as for the matter of finding Zhao Jingyuan, I think with the help of the five princes, it shouldn't take long to find her.
Murong Xi returned to the banquet, covered in cold sweat, and hurriedly asked the maidservant to deliver the news to Brother Wang, and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight.
"Your Highness, the concubine was just frightened and wanted to go back and rest first."
Murong Xi looked at the prince with the appearance of the rest of her life, as if she had really been wronged.
"Well, you can go back first."
The prince frowned, but he still agreed, looking at her face, he was afraid that it would not be very comfortable to stay, since she wanted to leave, then let her go.
Because Song Chengtong's wife strongly requested, Song Qingying's body was not sent to the prince's mansion, but was personally taken home by the prime minister and his wife.
Murong Xi left Zhonghe Palace, immediately found a corner and exchanged clothes with the maid, and left the palace with the token.
At the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Murong Pei had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Murong Xi, his face was full of displeasure.
"At this time, how did you give birth to so many branches out of thin air, if it is a big thing because of this, you will understand it yourself."
For this sister who is very beloved in front of people, Murong Pei is reluctant to give her a good face in private.
"Brother Wang, today's incident is that Sister Wang is reckless, but isn't this a good opportunity to plot against Prime Minister Song? As long as he believes that today's incident is not an accident, and that it was arranged by the emperor to whom he is loyal, do you think he will directly rebel? ”
Sai Weng lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing, Song Qingying's death was not without value, as long as they could say that Song Cheng was moved, his daughter's death was related to the one in the palace, and I am afraid that he will not be dissentful?
"If this matter is really as you say, it can be regarded as making up for it."
Murong Pei glanced at her, turned around and went to the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The identities of their brother and sister are not suitable for swaggering into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and if such a thing happened today, if the emperor knew that they had entered the Prime Minister's Mansion overnight, how could they not think about it?
"Prime Minister, please mourn."
As soon as Murong Pei stepped into the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he changed his sad expression.
"How did the prince come?"
When Prime Minister Song saw the comer, he reluctantly pulled out a smile, he was indeed powerless now.
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, this king came to disturb late at night, indeed because he got terrible news."
As Murong Pei said this, he glanced sideways at Murong Xi, who was dressed as a palace maid behind him.
"The crown princess?"
When Prime Minister Song Cheng saw this, his face turned cold, he was watching today, although no one can prove who did his daughter's death now, but since Murong Xi was involved, he will definitely not be able to erase it.
"The Prime Minister thought that I had misunderstood the palace today."
Murong Xi raised his eyes, and the tears in his apricot eyes were already about to fall.
"I accidentally heard what the emperor said to General Qin before, and I didn't feel that there was anything wrong at the time, but when I think about it today, I'm afraid that it will be inseparable from the death of Concubine Song."
Murong Xi pretended to have a hesitant expression, as if he was struggling to say it.
"What does the crown princess mean!"
Prime Minister Song directly darkened his face, he has been loyal to the emperor all his life, how could his daughter's death have anything to do with the emperor?
