Chapter 244: Who Can Testify?
Shen Changge's heart was full of thoughts, and after glancing at Mo Chu, she quickly retracted her gaze and looked at Shen De.
"Father, please believe the son, this painting was not prepared by the son, and the sonson doesn't know where it came from. Please also ask my father to take a clear look. ”
Shen De naturally didn't want to believe that the prince was such a disproportionate person, but this painting was indeed taken out of the gift box prepared by the prince, and everyone present could see it clearly.
If the prince can't give a reasonable explanation, even if he wants to help the prince, it will be difficult to convince the public!
After contemplating for a moment, Shen De asked, "You said that the birthday gift you prepared for me is a painting by Master Yixin?" ”
"Yes." Shen Changge hurriedly said, "Erchen dares to swear to the sky, this painting of King Huaiyang is not Erchen's, and Erchen will never dare to have half a lie." If the son deceives the father, the father can punish the son at will. ”
As she spoke, as soon as she lifted the hem of her robe, she knelt down respectfully, looking determined and determined.
Shen De frowned and was silent, staring at her with a serious and cold face, exuding an awe-inspiring deterrence around him.
He believed what the prince said, but now that the evidence was in front of him, how could the prince prove his innocence?
Unless, take out that painting of the master of one heart?
In his secret thoughts, Shen Tianhua suddenly spoke: "Father, the son and son don't believe that the prince would be so ignorant, and he dared to dedicate the painting of King Huaiyang to his father as a birthday gift, there must be some misunderstanding in this." I also asked my father to find out about this matter and return the prince's innocence. ”
He said this earnestly, as if he was really anxious about Shen Changge and really worried about her.
However, Shen Changge understood that her friendship with Shen Tianhua was not enough for him to defend himself like this and fight for her.
She knew it, but she didn't show it, nor did she look at Shen Tianhua, her eyes fell on Shen De's body from beginning to end.
Meeting Shen Changge's determined gaze, Shen De's mood eased slightly, and asked, "Prince, can anyone prove that the birthday gift you prepared for me is a painting by Master Yixin?" ”
Hearing Shen De's words, Shen Tianhua turned his head slightly to look at Shen Changge, with a worried look on his face, but there was a trace of coldness hidden in his eyes.
The people who know the paintings of the master of Yixin, in addition to the prince, must only be those palace slaves and maids in the East Palace.
However, those who are all princes must be helping the prince, and their words are not to be believed.
As long as the prince can't get the painting of Master Yixin, then the prince will be difficult to explain.
Thinking like this, the corners of his lips curled into a subtle smug smile.
However, in the next second, his smile suddenly froze at the corner of his lips, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Uncle Huang can testify for his son!"
Shen Changge hurriedly spoke, and subconsciously raised his hand to Shen Yiqing.
"Don't hide it from my father, the painting of the master of one heart that the son intends to dedicate to his father is obtained from the emperor's uncle, and the emperor can prove that the son is not lying."
Hearing her words, Shen Yiqing immediately got up and walked out of the seat, came to her side, bowed his head slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen can prove that what the prince said is not false, and the birthday gift prepared by the prince for the emperor is indeed a painting by Master Yixin." ”
His expression was calm and indifferent, as if he was just stating a very ordinary fact, but there was concern and worry in his gaze when he looked at Shen Changge.
When the painting of the King of Huaiyang was displayed in front of everyone, he planned to stand up and testify for the crown prince.
But the prince was obviously framed by someone in this matter, if he had stood up at that time, he was afraid that it would be difficult for the murderer behind the scenes to make another move.
Therefore, he can only force himself to calm down, wait and see, and wait for the opportunity to stand up again.
But now that the emperor asked, he naturally couldn't stand by anymore, so he could only quickly prove the prince's innocence.
After Shen Yiqing said this, Shen Changge immediately turned his head to look at him, his eyes full of gratitude.
Fortunately, the painting of Master Yixin was given to her by the emperor's uncle, otherwise, at this moment, it would be really difficult for her to prove her innocence.
Even if she asked Mo Chu and Xiao Shunzi to stand up and testify for her, she was afraid that she would be said to be her people, and their words would not be enough as evidence.
But Uncle Huang is different.
Uncle Huang's personality was well known to everyone present, and no one would doubt his words.
"Regent, are you sure what the prince said is true?" Shen De asked cautiously.
Shen Yiqing's face did not change, and replied firmly: "Weichen can prove that what the prince said is true. ”
"Yes, I believe you." Shen De let out a long sigh of relief, "I trust the regent's person, since there is a regent to testify for the crown prince, then, I believe that this matter was not done by the prince. ”
Shen De's words made Shen Changge's hanging heart finally let go.
But it also made Shen Tianhua's face change suddenly.
But he hid it well, and in an instant his expression returned to calm, but the hand holding the painting tightened unconsciously.
How so?
No one told him that the painting of the master of Yixin was given to the crown prince by the emperor's uncle!
If he had known about this earlier, he would never have used this method to frame the prince!
Isn't that good?
He also stood up to intercede for the prince just now, and if he now suspects that the imperial uncle helped the prince commit perjury, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
But if the prince is allowed to get out like this, he is really unwilling.
Just when he was secretly entangled, Shen Qingyang, who had been watching the play, suddenly said loudly: "Father, the emperor's uncle and the crown prince have always had a close relationship, and his words are only afraid of being unfair, and it is inevitable that there will be no suspicion of deliberately favoring the prince." Erchen felt that Uncle Huang's words could not be used as evidence. ”
His words made Shen Tianhua's nervous mood suddenly relax.
Fortunately, the fourth prince reacted in time and said what he couldn't say.
Shen Qingyang's words also successfully attracted everyone's attention, and everyone turned their eyes to him.
Shen Changge also turned his head to look at him, his delicate brows furrowed unhappily, and his gaze at him was also a little scrutinized.
Did Shen Qingyang deliberately fall into the well, or was this his doing?
Shen Yiqing's calm face also changed slightly, and his expression looked a little solemn.
"The fourth prince is doubting this king? Lying in front of the emperor, that is the crime of bullying the king, the four princes really look up to this king, this king is not so bold, dare to bully the king. Shen Yiqing said with a sneer, his momentum was compelling.
Facing him with a strong momentum, Shen Qingyang instinctively was a little timid, but he still tried his best to keep himself calm.
Catching up with Shen Yiqing's fierce gaze, he said slowly: "Uncle Huang is serious, I just gave my father a proposal." If the crown prince is innocent, there is naturally other evidence to prove it, isn't it? ”
After speaking, he also deliberately showed Shen Yiqing an easy-going smile, but there was a bit of provocation in his eyes.
