The next day, Du Wei had just had breakfast and someone came from outside the courtyard to spread the word, "There is a waiter in the palace, please invite the princess into the palace." ”

Liu Yan was busy redressing her makeup and hairpins, and took a sedan chair to the front yard, and when she passed through the garden, Princess Izumo was taking the palace maids around her to take a walk in the garden.

"Princess, the pearl didn't return overnight yesterday, do you want to tell the princess?" The palace maid next to him was Izumo's henchman, and said in a low voice.

Izumo glanced at the sedan chair that had left the house in a hurry and waved his hand.

The palace maid was interested in not mentioning the matter anymore.

Where did Mingzhu go, and what happened Izumo I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I could guess a few points, and I was afraid that I would summon the princess into the palace so early, but I was afraid that this matter would make a lot of trouble.

But none of this has anything to do with her, all she wants is that man.

When Du Wei followed the chamberlain into the imperial study, she already knew what might happen next.

Last night's incident must have already caused trouble to the emperor, and I believe that next, it will soon be known all over the city.

As soon as she entered the study, Du Wei saw Mingzhu standing on the side, her face was haggard, but those eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames, wanting to burn her to death.

Du Wei knelt down unhurriedly to salute the emperor, and said, "The courtiers have seen the emperor." ”

Li Jia stood in the corner, looking at Du Wei, but his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't stop trembling.

The emperor summoned him and Mingzhu into the palace in the middle of the night, and he was already kneeling here until dawn, and he couldn't stand it with his scholarly physique, which would be even more mentally supportive.

After Du Wei saluted, he stood aside in an orderly manner, hanging his head and waiting for the emperor to speak.

Mingzhu couldn't hold her breath for a long time, and said: "Ye Zhiwei, it's just a private meeting between you and Master Li, why do you want to harm me, don't think of going out of this door if you don't make it clear today!" ”

Du Wei's eyes were full of confusion, as if she didn't understand what Mingzhu said at all, and turned her head to look at Li Jia.

Li Jiatie's face was blue, in this matter, he was not a human being.

If he admits that he has something to do with Du Wei, although it can be confirmed that there is indeed a misunderstanding between him and Mingzhu, the raw rice is already ripe, and the emperor will never allow the princess of Nanwang to pass it on to him.

If he insisted that he didn't have a private meeting with Du Wei last night, then there would be a big problem between him and Mingzhu......

Princess Mingzhu saw Du Wei's puzzled look, and her heart was even more angry, and she immediately said angrily: "If you are happy with Lord Li, you can explain to the emperor directly, why bother to pull me inside, I know that you hate me and like Brother Shizi, but you can't be so vicious and harm me to such a situation...... Father, you have to call the shots for me! ”

Mingzhu was crying and fussing, looking heartbroken, and the emperor didn't say a word, his eyes were fixed on Du Wei's face.

Du Wei didn't rush to explain, but blinked her eyes with a blank and helpless expression, "This...... What did Princess Pearl say...... When will I have a private meeting with Master Lee? How could it hurt you, didn't you accompany Princess Izumo in Anyixuan, why did you come here? Du Wei frowned slightly, looked around at everyone in the imperial study, and then looked at the emperor, as if she wanted to get an answer from him.

The emperor sat behind the dragon book case, looked at Du Wei intently, and slowly said, "Ye Zhiwei, where were you last night?" ”

"The courtiers are in the Nanwang Mansion." Du Wei's dark eyes flickered, and she looked completely innocent.

"You, you!" Mingzhu couldn't help but jump up, "You obviously left the house last night, you went to have a private meeting with Master Li!" ”

"Princess Mingzhu......" Du Wei gradually sank her face and said unhappily: "Although I don't know why the emperor summoned me here, but you kept saying from the beginning that I had a private meeting with Master Li, you may be able to come up with evidence?" If you don't have proof, you're slandering me! ”

"What evidence do you want? I saw you in that room with my own eyes...... ...... with Master Lee Together, Brother Shizi left the house with his front foot last night, and you sneaked out of the house with your back foot, in vain Brother Shizi loves you so much, you actually got along with others behind his back......"

"Shut up!" The emperor frowned, interrupting Mingzhu's words, and he turned to Li Jia again, "Lord Li, the head of the household department, why did you go to that courtyard last night?" ”

Li Jia's back was stared at by the emperor in a cold sweat, so he had to tell the truth, "Weichen is because he received a letter asking Weichen to go there...... Meet. ”

Mingzhu said angrily: "What kind of meeting, I think it's a private meeting!" Father, now that the evidence is conclusive, this is clearly a letter written by the princess to Lord Li, and this matter is that she deliberately framed me."

"Where is the faith?" The Emperor said coldly.

An attendant stepped forward to take the letter from Li Jia's hand and carefully presented it.

The emperor opened the letter, only glanced at it, and sneered, "Lord Li, are you deliberately playing tricks on me?" Is this what you mean by letter? A blank piece of paper! He slapped the letter on the dragon book case, and Li Jia trembled with fright.

"How...... How could it be ......" He stepped forward tremblingly, pulled out the letter, and was dumbfounded.

There is not a word on it, it is clearly a blank piece of paper.

"How could it be ......" his lips trembled, "Yesterday it was clearly written on it......" He looked at Du Wei suddenly, at this time he still didn't understand something, everything was arranged by her.

I don't know what special method she used, but the words on the paper disappeared a few hours after he got his hand, and he fell to his knees in despair, and he didn't even have the strength to distinguish.

At this time, what else can he say? It's obvious that it's been put on the spot.

Mingzhu still didn't give up, "You said you were in the palace last night, but there are witnesses to prove it?" ”

"Everyone in the house can testify." Du Wei said unhappily, "I really don't understand, why did you target me so much from the moment you entered the door, could it be that you are still angry about the incident that hurt me on the day you entered the mansion?" It wasn't me who asked you to apologize at the time, but Princess Izumo, so you didn't hold a grudge against me for this, right? ”

"You...... You are talking nonsense! It has nothing to do with that incident, what you are saying is obviously a lie, you are deceiving the king! Mingzhu saw that the other party told the events of that day, his face turned red, and he subconsciously reached behind his waist, and the action seemed to be about to whip again.

But she forgot that she didn't have a whip with her.

She stretched out her hand to grab the air, but the emperor saw her movement clearly.

Mingzhu asked him to accompany Izumo to live in the Nanwang Mansion, and he did not approve of this matter itself, and everyone could see Mingzhu's thoughts.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Mingzhu injured the princess when she first entered the palace, and Izumo asked her to apologize to the princess...... Thinking about it this way, Mingzhu may indeed be dissatisfied with this and bite the princess back.

Mingzhu didn't notice the wavering look in the emperor's eyes at all, and still held on to Du Wei's departure from the palace, "Your subordinates in the palace will naturally give false testimony for you, do you think that as long as you don't recognize the emperor, you will believe it?" At least Master Lee saw you last night, and he was a witness. Saying that, Mingzhu turned his head to point at Li Jia, but saw him collapse to the ground.

Du Wei was fearless, and said to Li Jia: "Master Li, you have to be a man with a conscience, did you really see me last night?" ”

Li Jia's mind was in chaos at this time, what was he going to do, and he insisted that she still pretended not to know...... After thinking about it, he put his heart sideways, at this time, it is still the most important thing to save his life, anyway, he and Mingzhu are already like this, and if he wants to involve the princess of the previous world, his sin will be even greater.

So he shook his head slightly, "Weichen...... I didn't see the princess last night......"

Mingzhu couldn't believe his ears, when he was punished by the emperor to kneel here in the middle of the night, Li Jia obviously told her that it was the princess of Nanwang who asked him out to meet, but why did he change his words at this time?

She couldn't help but stomp her feet in anger, "Li Jia, you actually changed your words at this time, you are still not a man!" ”

"Is he a man, doesn't Princess Pearl know best?" A male voice suddenly came from outside the study, with a slightly hoarse voice, which suddenly made Mingzhu's face look like ashes.
