Chapter 187: Fending for Yourself

The audience was in an uproar, and the emperor looked at Lord Du and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lord Du tidied up his clothes, stepped forward and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, someone recently explained to the minister that it was the shopkeeper Lu of Xiaoyao Wine Shop who directly killed the prince of Wenguo. ”

"Oh? Where are the witnesses? ”

"I'm already waiting outside the hall, so it's better to ask Shopkeeper Lu to confront each other in front of the court."

The emperor pondered in his heart and looked at Gonggong Kun on the side.

Gonggong Kun nodded, and quickly came to the side courtyard, and saw that Lu Xiyi was still busy making wine, and the yin and yang weirdness stepped forward and said, "Oh, my shopkeeper Lu, why are you still busy working here?" There is a big incident in the court, some people say that it was the prince of Wenguo who you killed! ”

Lu Xiyi's hand trembled, and he almost spilled the yeast on the ground.

"Grandpa Kun, aren't you kidding me? What does the death of the prince of Wenguo have to do with me? ”

Zhong Yihan walked out of the house, he was just harvesting grapes, when he heard this sentence from Gonggong Kun's mouth, he was even more anxious than Lu Xiyi, and asked, "Who said this?" ”

"It's Lord Du who said it, Miss Lu, hurry up and go with the little one, if you don't leave, Lord Du still thinks that our family is here to report to you, so many ministers in the court are here, you have to go over to confront it, it is said that Lord Du brought all the witnesses with him."

Lu Xiyi's heart sank, a bad premonition spread in his heart, he looked at Zhong Yihan behind him, and pretended to be calm: "Don't be in a hurry first, I'll come when I go, let's go where we go and continue to do it, don't stop knowing?" ”

"Okay."

Zhong Yihan didn't have the heart to make wine, so naturally he waited for Lu Xiyi to go away, and quickly followed.

Gonggong Kun walked to the emperor's side and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the person has been brought." ”

And the hostages brought by Master Du have also been set up in the court, Lu Xiyi walked over, feeling that this person was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

"The people's daughter sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Lu Xiyi suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and gave a salute.

Master Du looked at Lu Xiyi, who had a calm face, and smiled: "What a boldness, things have come to this critical juncture, and you still pretend to be ignorant, the prince of Wenguo will obviously be poisoned and die after drinking the wine you brewed." ”

Lu Xiyi watched Master Du can't wait to frame him, and then looks at the witness he brought with him, who is the personal guard of the prince of Wenguo.

The guard Wu An looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the slave can prove that the wine was brewed by the shopkeeper Lu, and the prince will be unconscious after drinking it." ”

The emperor squinted suspiciously, looked at Lu Xiyi and asked, "Lu Xiyi, do you have anything to say?" ”

"The folk girl has nothing to say, the Qing is self-purifying, this little guard looks at the face of the student, shouldn't he often follow the prince and know the prince's habits during his lifetime?"

Wu An thought for a while, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said: "The little one has been following the prince since he was a child, and he knows his eating habits well, the wine is brewed by the shopkeeper Lu, and the prince has no movement after the small one is sent to the house, and the prince was mistaken early the next morning, does this have nothing to do with the shopkeeper Lu?" ”

Wu An kept his head down when he spoke, Lu Xiyi knew that he was weak-hearted, and said with a smile: "Since I asked you to send the wine, then you may tell the specific time, as well as when the prince fell asleep, and when was the body found, can you say it one by one?" ”

Wu An held back for a long time, and was speechless when asked by Lu Xiyi.

Master Du blushed his neck on the side and scolded: "Shopkeeper Lu doesn't need to scare the witnesses brought by the old minister so much, Wu An has followed the prince since he was a child, and he is even more affectionate to the prince, it was you who poisoned him, so is it fake?" ”

The courtiers on the field talked a lot, and they were even more confused about Lu Xiyi's poisoning.

There was a minister who bluntly admonished, "Lord Du said that this poison was under the shopkeeper Lu, but the shopkeeper Lu and the prince have only met very often, and why did they have a hatred with the prince, this is a little unreasonable." ”

"yes......"

Lu Xiyi looked at so many people talking to her, and was vaguely moved in her heart, but his father who shrunk his head turtle kept his head down, for fear that others would recognize him as her father.

When the emperor heard this, he felt that there was some truth, and looked at Lord Du: "There is no motive for this murder, why did the shopkeeper Lu do such a risky thing and put the poison in the wine he brewed, is it a little unreasonable?" ”

Lord Du was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect so many guys to help Lu Xiyi speak, and he panicked for a while, only to see Wu An suddenly kneel down on his knees, and said with a crying voice: "The emperor must be the master of the prince, this poison is the shopkeeper Lu."

She took a fancy to my prince and showed favor to him several times, but how could my prince be such a superficial person, the prince couldn't look down on the shopkeeper Lu, so the shopkeeper Lu had a grudge, so he poisoned his wine! ”

"What? What nonsense are you talking about? How could I fall in love with your prince! ”

Lu Xiyi saw that his words were getting more and more, it was just nonsense, Wu An lowered his head, his hands kept breaking out in a cold sweat, and gritted his teeth and said that Lu Xiyi was in love with the prince of Wenguo, but because he couldn't get the love of his heart, he killed people.

Seeing that Wu An said so sincerely, the emperor was a little shaken in his heart, and watched the ministers discussing in the court, so he waved his sleeve robe and said: "Okay, okay, this matter will be handled by Shuntian Mansion Yin." ”

Zhong Yihan had been observing every move in the court nearby, and he was suspicious of him when he saw that Wu An could say such a ridiculous thing.

Lord Du saw that the emperor intended to protect him, so he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, you must not let go of this demon girl, the old minister has long felt that this demon girl is not an ordinary person, and if she can't get the love of her heart, she will kill her."

I heard that she has already severed her relationship with the Lu Mansion, she is a person who can even abandon her own biological parents, and this kind of demon girl staying in the world is simply a danger to the world! ”

The anger in Lu Xiyi's heart had already erupted, he looked at Lord Du and said puzzledly: "May I ask Lord Du, have I done something sorry for you, why do you hate me so much?" It seems that the grudge has been accumulated for a long time. ”

"A person like you who is disloyal, unkind, unrighteous and unfilial is a scourge to stay in the world, why is it that you are killing people now, and you still want to seek the blessing of the saints?"

"You ......"

"Okay, you two don't quarrel anymore, you can't quarrel anything, first take the witness Wu An down and send him to Shuntian Mansion Yin, don't let him have an accident."

The emperor looked at the two of them with a headache, today's court made him exhausted, and Lu Xiyi has been busy making fine wine recently, if she is detained at this moment, it seems a little inappropriate, after thinking about it, he said: "Lu Xiyi, you are in the side courtyard now, don't go anywhere, except for the people of Shuntian Mansion Yin who want to see you, don't see anyone again, understand?" ”

"The folk girl understands."

Wu An was taken down, and Zhong Yihan secretly followed all the way, originally wanting to lure away the people around Wu An, but suddenly a situation occurred.
