Zheng Bao's eyes dodged, not daring to meet the eyes of the crown princess, thinking in his heart how to make the lie clear.

"The crown princess is far away, it's hard to guarantee that you are not dazzled, Jia Min pushed me into the water is a matter of moments!"

The crown princess glanced at Zheng Bao contemptuously, turned her gaze to the emperor and queen on the high seat, and then continued with the unfinished words just now: "Those little tricks of the princess of Dongping County may deceive some people who don't know the truth, but they can't deceive the people in the palace no matter what. Not to mention whether the county lord of Huigui really pushed you into the water, even if it is true, the princess of Dongping County will definitely not be in danger of life. If you ask someone in this palace, you will know that Jinghu has fallen into the water and died many times before, and the queen mother ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to rebuild Jinghu, and the places close to the shore are all piled up with stones to form a gentle slope, and within these three zhang, the deepest part of the water is only to the shoulders and necks of adult women, and the closest places to the shore can even land on the feet of three or five-year-old children. So since the water in Jinghu is not enough to cause harm to the princess of Dongping County, how could you cry for help after falling into Jinghu? ”

"I ...... I...... Xu Yes...... Xu was ......panicked for a moment because she suddenly fell into the water, "Zheng Bao's forehead had big drops of sweat, her heart was very messy, trembling and wiping the sweat on her forehead with her sleeves, still thinking about how to say it to be convincing.

But the crown princess didn't give Zheng Bao a chance to continue, and asked again: "Then please tell me about the princess of Dongping County, where you and the county lord of Huigui stood at that time, how far from the water surface, and which hand pushed you by the lord of Huigui?" Which part of your body did you push? Which side of the water did you enter first, front, back, or side? ”

Zheng Bao was stunned by the princess's questions, she didn't know what the princess meant by asking her, she tried to keep her mind clear, and seriously thought about the princess's questions.

"Princess Dongping County, please answer immediately, since it is a real thing, then the Princess of Dongping County must be very impressed, please don't say anything that needs to be recalled, this is something that has only happened a short time, has the Princess of Dongping County aged to such a state?"

Zheng Bao originally envisioned the rhetoric, but was frightened by the princess's words and confused, and was speechless all the time "I, I" there.

"Princess of Dongping County! Why didn't you answer the Crown Princess's question? The queen asked in a deep voice, and the displeasure in her tone indicated that her patience was obviously running out.

Zheng Bao pinched his thigh with all his strength to calm himself down, and then replied in a trembling voice: "I...... No...... It's a courtier! The courtier and Jia Min stood opposite each other by the Jinghu Lake, she pushed the courtier's shoulders with both hands from the front, and the courtier's daughter was the first to enter the water on the back! ”

The crown princess showed a mocking smile, and she was very disdainful of this self-righteous Zheng Bao in her heart, and it was really inconsiderate to try to bring down a smart woman like the county lord of Huigui with such a brain!

"Father! Queen mother! The princess of Dongping County has confirmed that what her son said is true, and she deliberately jumped off Jinghu to frame the county lord of Huigui! ”

"I didn't! When did I say that...... I said yes...... I didn't! Zheng Bao stared at the crown princess with wide eyes, and was shocked by the princess's eyes as if she was looking at a dirty thing, but the words that wanted to defend herself were stuck in her throat, but she couldn't understand why the crown princess would say such things.

"Shut up! You ignorant stupid woman, you and the county lord of Huigui are both standing by the lake, and the two of them are on the side of the lake, since the lord of Huigui is pushing your shoulders from the front with both hands, how can you enter the water behind your back! "The king of Dongping County will no longer continue to pretend to be quails at this time, and if he continues to pretend, the entire Dongping County Royal Mansion will be unlucky with this stupid woman!

After Zheng Bao heard the words of the king of Dongping, he realized that he was following the path of the crown princess and showed his feet! She was about to say something more for herself, when she was frightened by the emperor's angry shout.

"You dare to quibble!" The emperor looked at the king of Dongping County and the concubine of Dongping who were trembling below, and then said, "What does the king of Dongping think of your house-filling?" ”

The king of Dongping County didn't expect the emperor to ask this question, he glanced at his mother concubine with his spare eyes, and saw that the concubine of Dongping was also frightened, so he said stubbornly: "Zheng's virtue is at a loss, and she has made a big mistake, so the minister will naturally not shield her, and everything is subject to the emperor's decision!" ”

"Humph! You've pushed it all in! Zheng is your wife, shouldn't your Dongping County Mansion be responsible? ”

"This ...... This one...... If the emperor wants the minister to do what he wants, the minister will do it, and the minister will never say anything! The frightened brain of the king of Dongping County was no longer used, and he just answered the emperor's question out of instinct.

Seeing that her stupid son couldn't say anything, Concubine Dongping said in a hurry: "Your Majesty!" The Zheng family made a big mistake, and it stands to reason that she should be put back to her parents' house, but my Dongping County Mansion is not the kind of person who has no responsibility, since the Zheng family is already a member of our Dongping County Palace, the mistakes she made should also be borne by us! As for the Zheng family, since she has made a mistake, she will be punished, so she will be punished for meditating in the ancestral hall, and she will not be able to come out in this life! ”

"Just now I ordered fifty slaps to set an example, this Zheng family is not convinced and wants to repeat the old tricks, slandering others, it can be seen that he doesn't think there is anything wrong with what he has done at all! Someone! Keep the execution! As for the rest, we'll talk about it later! The emperor said this, and he had already agreed with Concubine Dongping's approach.

After the eunuch who was executed listened to the order, he stepped forward again, and two people grabbed Zheng Bao left and right, and another person stood opposite Zheng Bao and began to slap his mouth without saying a word. At first, Zheng Bao's shouts could be heard, but after a few clicks, only moans and groans remained, and after a while, Zheng Bao's voice could not be heard, and only the sound of bamboo boards hitting the flesh could be heard in the hall. When the execution eunuch had completed fifty beatings, Zheng Bao's face was still open and he couldn't see it.

Both men and women in the hall were silent, and they all understood in their hearts that this was the emperor and the queen killing chickens and monkeys, clearly supporting Jia Min, and in fact, those who tried to provoke the relationship between the Lin family, Rongguo Mansion, Yan Wangfu and the emperor could see clearly, don't try to do those things that anger the emperor.

"Throw this stupid woman out of the palace, and she will not be allowed to step into the palace gate in the future!" The emperor glared at Zheng Bao, who was paralyzed on the ground, in disgust, and then ordered the eunuch to go to Wang's house to pass on the message he had just given.
