Chapter 45: Saving Uzhen
Seeing that Pianruo's water was about to smash into Wu Zhen's body with the container, everyone couldn't help but exclaim, and Luo Ling also stopped what he was doing.
Wu Zhen suddenly stretched out his hand and used a spell to protect himself, and the container fell to the ground gently as if it had been smashed on cotton, and the water did not drip onto Wu Zhen Mountain.
Pian Ruo hurriedly went over, took Wu Zhen's hand and said, "It's okay, Sister Wu Zhen, I'm really sorry for me......"
Pian Ruo didn't continue to say the following words, the expression on her face changed from self-blame to surprise, and said to Wu Zhen again: "Sister Wu Zhen, you ...... How do you still have spiritual power?"
Wu Zhen was stunned there, his face was blue and white for a while, and he also regretted that he had accidentally exposed his feet just now.
I saw a trace of viciousness flash in Pianruo's eyes, and then changed to a pure and non-toxic expression, and stood aside in panic, no longer speaking.
Everyone present at the moment was stunned in place, with different expressions, but a common idea would emerge, thinking that it was not so easy for Wu Zhen to clear up the relationship with Su Niang's death.
Someone remembered that I had been in the dungeon a few days ago, and they couldn't help but look at it with sympathy.
Sister Bai Rong stood a little closer to me at this time, holding my hand, still so cold, I glanced at her, she didn't speak, and I didn't know if she believed it or not.
The status of the female chef present is not high in the Hesui Palace, and someone went to inform the female official Xia Ran, who hurried over, and nodded respectfully when she passed by me.
I think it's thanks to Qingqing that this Xia Ran misses me so much.
Xia Ran was as capable as ever, first calming everyone down, and temporarily keeping everyone present, because of the previous lesson, he did not directly arrest Wu Zhen, but sent someone to inform Emperor Pingyu again.
Emperor Ji soon came over in a sedan chair, and when she saw Wu Zhen, she became angry, and asked from above, "Wu Zhen, are you guilty?"
"The courtier's daughter is guilty!" Wu Zhen knelt down in shame, buried his head deeply, and looked at the ground.
For a while, everyone whispered softly, and they didn't expect that the murderer of Su Niang was by their side, and it was Wu Zhen who was kind to people on weekdays and only occasionally fought with Luo Ling.
I also looked at Uzhen in disbelief, she only looked down and ignored everyone.
Emperor Pingyu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect Wu Zhen to admit his crime so easily.
Emperor Ji asked her, "Why did you kill the female official?"
"Courtiers and daughters kill people," Wu Zhen's words were full of respect, and he slowly raised his head and looked at Emperor Pingyu with fear.
"Presumptuous!" Emperor Ji was very dissatisfied with Wu Zhen's rebellion, and said angrily: "One will be guilty, and the other will not be guilty, but you are playing this Emperor?"
Wu Zhen realized that he had lost his words, knelt on the ground and explained in a panic: "The courtier's guilt is because she didn't take the Hidden Spirit Pill
, but I really didn't kill the female official. ”
Emperor Pingyu's expression was ugly, and she didn't know how much she believed Wu Zhen's words.
Wu Zhen shouted again: "I still hope that Emperor Ji will be clear!"
Emperor Pingyu's eyes swept over everyone present, but he didn't dare to close the case hastily, and said with majesty: "If you didn't do it, this Emperor Ji would have returned your innocence, if you did it, even if you were born in the lynx clan and did such an evil thing in the imperial city, I'm afraid I won't be able to tolerate you anymore!"
"Lock her up in the dungeon for the time being!" Emperor Pingyu instructed Xia Ran next to him, and then brushed his sleeves and left.
After Xia Ran Gong sent the emperor concubine, he obeyed the order and sent a few low-level female officials to send Wu Zhen into the lock spirit dungeon, and the people under Xia Ran were no longer as rude as last time, and they sent Wu Zhen to the dungeon politely.
Uzhen smiled at me as she was escorted past me, I hadn't seen her so relaxed in a long time.
Because I heard her conversation with Wu Beihan that day, I knew in my heart that Wu Zhen was innocent, but it was really unconvincing to say that there was no evidence, and if Emperor Ji or Emperor Ren asked about that day, he would definitely mention Qinghuang and Wu Beihan, which would make things worse, not to mention the matter of Yunshu and Yinhe, I don't want people to know.
I secretly looked for the female jailer in the dungeon who had some affection for me, and tried to make Wu Zhen's life easier, Wu Zhen was different from me that day, she didn't have a hidden spirit pill with her, and her spiritual cultivation was not low, but I was afraid that life in the dungeon would not be easy.
The female jailer seemed to be unbearable when she mentioned Wu Zhen, and told me that she was in great pain in the dungeon when she was being consumed by the Soul Locking Spell. She promised me that I would give Princess Wuzhen some sleeping tonic to relieve some of the pain of the backlash, and there was nothing else she could do.
I thanked the jailer, and she told me that the fat mama last time had been locked up and waiting to be disposed of, and asked me what I thought, but I was not at ease now, and told her: "Thank you, my blue bird is fine, if that mama is willing to repent, let her go!"
Wu Beihan and Wu Zhen are both from the lynx clan, and in order to avoid suspicion, the human emperor did not let him interfere in this matter. When Wu Beihan saw Pianruo again, his attitude was not very respectful, although Pianruo knew that his status was not low, but he could not suppress his identity as a princess, and he did not take it to heart.
When Wu Beihan met me, he tentatively begged me: "Can the princess save Wu Zhen?"
I refused, and his face was like a frost blow, and he was about to leave, but I told him later: "I can only try to prove her innocence." ”
Wubei Han was stunned for a moment, reacted, turned around and saluted me, and turned around and left without speaking.
I didn't have much chance to see Jing Kang these days, and I didn't know about the patrol arrangements of their guards, but he occasionally saw me and warned, "Don't meddle in the affairs of Wuzhen." Without giving me a chance to speak, he left with the other guards.
Qingqing knew that there were many things in the Hesui Palace these days, so she no longer went into the palace to bother.
When Youzi met me, she asked me, "How many days can Qingqing come to the Imperial City to see you?"
I thought she missed Qingqing, so I shook my head apologetically and said, "No." ”
I didn't expect Youzi to be very happy, I thought about it for a while, and I understood it in my heart.
Since that night, Qinghuang's spiritual power has increased greatly, and he has a lot of cultivation, but after the halo fades, it is still the same as before, only slightly older, and he is still intimate with me in his spare time.
I don't know if it's my delusion, Qinghuang used to be there chattering and arguing no matter who or nobody, but now when no one is around, he will be in a daze, and he will secretly look at me, and there are complicated feelings in his little eyes.
Qiu An said to me, "Princess, the blue bird is still the same as before, but it just feels different. ”
I smiled and only told Qiu An: "Call it Qinghuang in the future!"
I'm going to help in the case of protecting myself.
I first asked Qinghuang to send a letter to Qingqing, first told her about the blue bird becoming Qinghuang, and then she first helped me observe that in addition to Qinghuang around the imperial city, there are other spiritual creatures that can come and go freely unconsciously.
At the end of the letter, I added: "Be careful, there may be demonic energy. ”
