Chapter 263: Plea for Mercy
Originally, the situation on Ning Xin's side, because Wan Bingyu's words completely changed direction, the prince saw that this was not a worry-free character, if he continued to let her speak, the situation in front of him might be reversed again, so he wrinkled his brows and said to Wan Bingyu: "Mrs. Wan, the palace hasn't allowed you to speak yet, right?" ”
Wan Bingyu seemed to have just noticed him, first startled, and then showed an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, Fang Cai was a little rude because he was too emotional." Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are of noble birth and have always been benevolent and loving to the people, so you must not blame the women for this rudeness, right? ”
She said as she winked at Li Gaozhan.
is obviously an innocent expression, but it makes Li Gaozhan itch with hatred, she really deserves to be Heng Xinyuan's widow, in terms of being able to speak well, she is not much different from Heng Xinyuan, she has finished speaking, and the truth is all on her side, if she insists on making a big fuss about her rudeness in court, it may affect her reputation. After weighing the pros and cons, Li Gaozhan could only hold back his anger: "Of course this palace won't." ”
At this moment, the couple who were stunned by Wan Bingyu's words finally came back to their senses.
They all knelt on the ground with a plop, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "Your Highness, our husband and wife are already old, and the combined age of the two of us is more than a hundred years old, where can we remember the events of a few days ago so clearly, we have forgotten how much profit we made that day........
Wan Bingyu looked at them coldly, and said with a smile: "Old man, since you have a bad memory, don't come out to toss, save yourself from tossing and falling apart." ”
"You woman, you don't know how to be polite!" The old woman pointed to the tip of Wan Bingyu's nose and cursed with a gloomy face, "We are all old people, don't you feel ashamed to bully two old people in front of so many people?" ”
"Shame?" Wan Bingyu touched his face, raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "It's embarrassing to ask two questions?" ”
Seeing that several people in the hall looked like they were going to fight, Li Gaozhan coughed twice pretendedly.
"Mrs. Wan, just look at these two old men, stop being aggressive."
Wan Bingyu nodded helplessly, as if compromised, and just when some people who secretly harbored ghosts were relieved, she suddenly said, "But I still have to ask one more question." ”
"Then you ask."
"Two old men." Wan Bingyu asked with a smile, "Do you remember the clothes that this girl wore that day?" ”
"This! Of course we don't remember! The old couple blushed at her question, "We were surprised to see what kind of clothes she was wearing." ”
Wan Bingyu pretended to be surprised and said, "That's really a coincidence, I just remember it." ”
Subsequently, in front of everyone, she told Ning Xin what clothes she was wearing when she came to the capital, what kind of carriage she took into Beijing, and when she met and talked to Lu Li.
"I happened to be drinking tea in the teahouse that day, so I saw the scene of the girl entering Beijing with my own eyes." Wan Bingyu looked modest, "And I also saw the smile on the face of the girl who was condensing." ”
Unexpectedly, Ning Xin was stunned for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Mrs. Wan's confession can't be counted, everyone in the capital knows the relationship between Mrs. Wan and General He, they have a personal relationship, who can prove that Mrs. Wan didn't mean to help General He speak!" ”
"I can prove it!"
As soon as Ning Xin's words fell, a voice came from outside the hall, and then, the Dali Temple guards chased a young man into the public hall.
As the crown prince, Li Gaozhan naturally recognized the young man in front of him, he was Song Jie, the head of the Chu State Mission, how could he come?
Without waiting for Li Gaozhan to ask the confusion in his heart, Song Jie opened his mouth first: "That day in the teahouse, I happened to be drinking tea with Mrs. Wan, and unfortunately I saw the scene in front of the city gate, and I also saw the girl who wanted to grab General He Nianbing's hand, but she didn't catch it, I am the envoy of the Chu State, and the friendship between me and Mrs. Wan is not deep, my words should be used as evidence, Miss Ningxin?" ”
Two sharp gazes shot directly at Ning Xin, and she trembled, unable to speak anymore.
Li Gaozhan scolded Ning Xin and Li Wenyan thousands of times in his heart.
I knew that their plan was so full of loopholes, I shouldn't have promised Li Wenyan to help her in the first place, but now it's hard to ride a tiger by myself, if my father asks about it on a whim one day, I'm afraid I will be a ginseng from Li Wenyao's side, right?
Li Gaozhan tried to struggle: "The clues of the case are not sufficient, let's re-interrogate in two days." ”
"General Crane?"
Li Gaozhan glanced at He Nianbing and Ning Xin and said, "These two are temporarily detained, and they will be released after the case is clarified." ”
General Henian Binghe, who has just entered Beijing, was involved in a case of robbing a people's daughter, and the fact that the people's girl also had the audacity to beat the Dengwen drum soon spread in the capital, and regarded this matter as a place for gossip and chat, as well as the palace, and the palace maids got together and told each other about the latest interesting things in the palace.
"Princess Minyue went to ask the emperor to personally try the case, have you all heard about it?"
"I heard that, we also heard that Princess Minyue didn't even see His Majesty's face, so she was put outside, oops, what is the relationship between Princess Minyue and General He......."
"Who knows, General Crane is so handsome and has great achievements, if he can break free from this case, he will definitely have an unlimited future in the future!"
Just as the palace maids were chattering, Minyue, one of the protagonists of their discussion, had just come to the palace where the queen lived.
The maids immediately invited her in.
"Queen Mother!" Min Yue knelt directly in front of the queen, pleading with the queen with red eyes, "Queen Mother, you can help General Crane, that condensation has no posture, let alone background, it is impossible for Crane Nianbing to look at her even if she is blind, not to mention that General Crane has no wife at home, and his parents are not there, he just really likes a person, he can take a concubine or other way, why rob him on the street, General Crane He was framed!" ”
The queen, who was originally recuperating with her eyes closed, opened her eyes: "Yue'er, why are you so concerned about General He's affairs?" ”
"Isn't it because General Crane is close to Mrs. Wan, and you don't know the ......friendship between me and Mrs. Wan, Queen Mother?"
A trace of confusion flashed in the queen's eyes: "That's all? ”
"Yes! That's all! If the Queen Mother doesn't believe me, I can swear! ”
The queen pressed Min Yue's hand and shook her head gently: "This matter of General Crane, I can help you plead for mercy, although I don't have any power in the harem, but it is still useful to say two words, you can rest assured, he will be fine." ”
