In the hall, Qi Rui sat and didn't speak, and Princess Pingle didn't dare to get up when she knelt, until her body couldn't stand up straight and her legs trembled.

Qi Rui suddenly raised his eyes sharply and said to Princess Pingle: "Auntie, you deliberately left the peony in the Broken Hongqiao, right?" You are thinking, she is a seven-year-old child, even if Chu Xiangling is pushed down the lake, no one will blame her; If, if Chu Xiangling does anything to the peony, you can use it as a deficiency to avenge Chu Zhilian......"

Princess Pingle was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, it really wasn't Pingle who told Peony to do this...... Peony and Peony definitely don't think so, she's just young and playful......"

Qi Rui said indifferently: "You found that Pingle was gone, didn't you come back to look for it?" Auntie,"

Qi Rui's indifference startled Ping Le, Qi Rui, if he was as angry as he was just now, he might not be so angry, and being as cold and cold as he is now is called scary.

Princess Pingle panicked inexplicably.

Qi Rui said in a cold voice: "Auntie, you love Chu Zhilian very much, so you want to avenge him; However, it was I who personally ordered Chu Zhilian to be beheaded, so I am your biggest enemy. If you had the chance, would you have killed me to avenge him? ”

Princess Pingle "......"

Princess Pingle collapsed directly to the ground.

She never expected that she was just trying to find trouble with Chu Xiangling, and she would make the emperor think of it so much! Give her such a big hat, and don't dare to give her ten dares! This is clearly a punishment for her heart!!

Princess Pingle was in a mess.

Although she is King An's aunt, King An stays in the fief most of the time, and he doesn't have much contact with her.

The only thing she relied on was the few times she cared about the emperor when she was a child, and once the patience of the Lord was exhausted, the meager family affection was gone.

Obviously, now, this kind of family affection has crossed the line, and if it is not reined in, I am afraid it will not end well.

Princess Pingle immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed: "Pingle will never dare to have half a heart of revenge, and from then on, he will always accompany the ancient Buddha of the green lantern to pray for the peony." ”

Qi Rui's face finally eased, and he beckoned to Princess Pingle and said, "Auntie, hurry up, you kneel in front of me as an elder, but you can break An'er......"

Princess Pingle said "don't dare" again, and stood up tremblingly, her body, which was still young, seemed to be thirty years old all of a sudden, and her expression was as decadent as that of an old woman in Longzhong.

Qi Rui promised: "Auntie, I will definitely thoroughly investigate the murderer of Peony and give you justice." ”

Princess Pingle bowed and said, "Pingle thanks Lord Longen." ”

Princess Pingle retreated.

Qi Rui glanced back at Yang Jingshu, who was still lying on the couch, and said with a frown: "Don't pretend, get up!" ”

Yang Jingshu sat up in a daze, and honestly admitted her mistake: "Master, I, I, I saw Pingle directly take a knife to go to Lingfu to cut people, I, I just fainted with a stomachache......"

Qi Rui nodded and said, "I know,"

Yang Jingshu said happily: "You know? ”

Qi Rui said calmly: "Even if you don't pretend to have a stomachache, I won't let Pingle do anything to Chu Xiangling, even if Chu Xiangling doesn't give evidence, I don't believe that it was the peony she killed." ”

Yang Jingshu was surprised: "You actually believe her?" Pingle and the Liang Zi of the Ling family are not small, you believe in Xiangling so much? ”

Qi Rui smiled slightly: "I'm not old and confused!" Back then, Chu Xiangling contributed money, efforts, and ideas to lead the people of Lin'an County to fight the locust plague, how could such a compassionate woman kill a seven-year-old child? The murderer could never be her. ”

Yang Jingshu said suspiciously: "It's not Xiangling, it may also be Brother Qingyue?" ”

Qi Rui still shook his head and said: "If Ling Qingyue wants to kill someone, she will never use such a stupid method, let alone implicate Chu Xiangling, so the two of them are the most unlikely murderers of Peony......"

Yang Jingshu said in disbelief: "Long live Lord, since you trust Brother Qingyue and Xiangling so much, why do you still let Xiangling prove her innocence?" Moreover, after Xiangling proved her innocence, you are still a little unhappy? ”

Qi Rui sighed deeply and said, "Jingshu, I am not angry with the county lord of Chu, but angry with myself. Chu Xiangling is so jealous of the Pingle family, and remembers all the witnesses and time so clearly, not because of how smart she is, but because the Ling family doesn't trust me very much. A while ago, I broke the heart of the minister of the humerus. ”

Yang Jingshu didn't expect that Qi Rui, as a dignified emperor, would seriously reflect on his own mistakes.

Yang Jingshu looked at Qi Rui with a look of adoration, Qi Rui's face suddenly approached, startling Yang Jingshu, and said in surprise: "Master? ”

Qi Rui squinted lightly and said, "Yang Jingshu, if you dare to joke about my heirs in the future, pretending to have a stomachache, I will never spare you......"

Yang Jingshu let out an obedient "oh", only paused for a moment, and immediately asked curiously: "Master, why don't you spare me lightly?" Am I pregnant with your offspring? It seems that you can't fight, you can't kneel, you can't be hungry, you can't be cold......"

Qi Rui: "......"

Suddenly, Yang Jingshu's eyes lit up, and she said to herself: "Yes, you can repay your mother's debts, master, you fight Qi Gui, this guy, how long has it been since he cried?" ”

Qi Rui: "......"

The palace maid Liansheng couldn't help but sigh, if she hadn't seen the process of the queen's birth with her own eyes, she would have thought that Qi Gui was a wild child picked up from outside, this mother, and she didn't take him as a son!

.

On the morning of the second day, Qi Rui issued an edict ordering the county lord of Chu to cooperate with the deputy commander of the Xiaocai battalion Cao to investigate the murderer of Peony.

When Ling Qingyue told Xiangling the news, Xiangling was so shocked that she didn't speak for a long time, and then she was stunned and said, "Xianggong, you didn't say anything wrong?" Did the emperor really ask me to cooperate in this case? Aside from the fact that I'm a woman, am I still a major suspect when I am in the third watch? Let a suspect participate in the trial of the case, and he will not be afraid that I will cheat? Aren't you afraid that Princess Pingle will make things difficult for him again? ”

Ling Qingyue chuckled and said, "Lady, Master Cheng didn't expect you to try a good case, he just sent a message to the whole world through this message: he trusts the Ling family, and since he faces the royal family, he will also stand on the side of the Ling family." ”

"I really don't need to do anything?" Xiangling will be suspicious.

Ling Qingyue nodded again and said, "Also, you don't have to worry about Princess Pingle making trouble for you, she has already taken her little daughter to the Peach Blossom Nunnery of Lingyin Temple, and she has always been with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha since then." ”

Xiangling was stunned and said, "Monk? ”

Ling Qingyue shook her head and said, "I don't have a degree, but I recognize the master, and I can be regarded as a lay disciple." If I'm guessing correctly, Long Live Lord has taught her a profound lesson last night. ”

This Princess Pingle, it's quite embarrassing to think about what happened to her.

Princess Pingle died of illness from her former horse, went to Xiangguo Temple to worship the Buddha, and met Chu Zhilian, who was arranged by the Lord of Long Live Live.

After the two got married, Chu Zhilian ushered in the most glorious moment and became the first assistant of the dynasty.

It's a pity that he is a disciple of Tianqing and is doomed to a sad end.

After going around and around, Princess Pingle finally stepped into the temple again, probably to avoid the Xiangguo Temple where she met with the horse, so she switched to the Peach Blossom Temple, which is not too famous and not too large.
