Chapter Twenty-Eight: Big Things Turned into Small Things
The carriage traveled all the way, skirting the streets, and finally stopped at the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion.
The guards at the gate saw that the carriage of the national teacher had returned, and hurried up to greet him.
Jing Ci got out of the car with a cold face, and when he looked at the eunuchs and grandmothers who followed behind him, he couldn't help but feel a little colder.
But those grandmothers didn't dare to make a sound, but just lowered their heads and followed quickly.
A group of people appeared at the door of the National Teacher's Mansion, and the news quickly reached Shen Ling's ears.
"Princess Shen, you'd better be careful."
The butler lowered his head and spoke with some concern.
"Okay, I got it."
After agreeing, an inexplicable panic rose in her heart, Shen Ling frowned, and returned to the house to take the confession that Song Xinyu sent someone to assassinate her that day she collected and put it in her pocket.
He walked unhurriedly towards the gate of the house.
Unexpectedly, before he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he had already bumped into Jing Ci and his party coming in the direction of his courtyard, and Shen Ling had some doubts in his eyes.
"Husband ......"
Before the word "husband" could be called, the eunuch behind Jing Xi stood up with a sharp voice, "Your Royal Highness Princess, please accept the order." ”
Shen Ling hid the displeasure in his eyes and knelt on the ground to listen to the order.
The eunuch unfolded the holy decree in his hand and raised his voice, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said that Princess Shen has lived in the national teacher for many days today, and there are some contradictions between Princess Shen and Princess Song. ”
"The people's daughter takes the order."
Although she is a princess, she is a princess of the previous dynasty, and she has a hatred for destroying the dynasty with the old emperor, and Shen Ling is reluctant to call herself a son.
Pick her up and take her back to the palace?
The thing that he was most unwilling to face in his heart finally came, Shen Ling took the holy decree handed over by the eunuch with a cold face, and clenched it in the palm of his hand.
Before everyone could react, a wrinkled grandmother behind her rushed up and grabbed the slender arm, "Princess, go back with the slave!" Don't bother the national teacher here! ”
Several other grandmothers also came up, and a few people forcibly pulled Shen Ling towards the direction of the carriage.
Jing Ci had been standing silently aside, and in a trance he felt that his eyes had been staring at him, and when he looked up, he trembled.
It was Shen Ling.
Even if he was dragged, the pitiful look did not leave him.
The movements under his feet seemed to be uncontrollable, and Jing Ci followed quickly with a wrinkled face.
The two grandmothers who dragged people into the carriage looked a little ugly, but they didn't dare to make a sound.
"Master Guoshi, you don't need to accompany you."
One of the grandmothers smiled flatteringly and whispered persuasion.
Jing Xi didn't seem to hear her speak, and her eyes stayed on the woman who was looking at her aggrievedly for a long time.
He sighed softly and half-crouched down, bringing the two of them close together.
The warm snort came to his face, Shen Ling's body trembled slightly, his face was immediately dyed with a flush, and his big watery eyes stared at Jing Xi motionlessly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
A deep voice sounded in her ears, and Shen Ling was stunned, staring at her eyes in disbelief.
Jing Ci was also taken aback when he said this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he sat directly beside Shen Ling.
A few grandmothers were a little embarrassed, but they couldn't afford to provoke this national teacher!
Inside the palace.
The old emperor sat on top of the high hall with a wrinkled face, listening to the cries of the people on the ground.
"Father, you have to believe in the son-in-law, the son-in-law did not kill anyone, the son-in-law did not."
Song Xinyu's beautiful eyes were red from crying, and she was kneeling on the ground at this time and kept complaining.
She didn't expect that Jing Ci would really sue herself in front of the emperor.
In addition to a little despair in my heart, I was more jealous of Shen Ling's slut!
There were also a number of civil and military ministers standing in the hall, all of them with their heads bowed, unwilling to involve themselves in this accident.
"Father..."
Before Song Xinyu could say this, he saw the old emperor's eyes in the hall cold.
Wait for her to look back.
Jing Ci was walking with a calm and unhurried pace, followed by Shen Ling!
"Your Majesty."
When the two arrived at the center, they saluted respectfully.
"Flat, Ling'er, I haven't seen you for a while, come up and let me see."
The old emperor's eyes were staring at Shen Ling, and everyone present could see the meaning of warning in that look.
"Yes."
Shen Ling nodded obediently in agreement, bypassed Song Xinyu on the ground without humility or arrogance, and came straight to the old emperor.
"What's the scar on this face?"
The warning in the old emperor's eyes did not decrease, and he looked at the scar on half of Shen Ling's face and asked.
Shen Ling didn't say anything, but her eyes swept to Song Xinyu, who had stopped crying on the ground.
But it is impossible for anyone with a heart and an eye not to see the deep meaning.
"Father, the son is the wronged father, you must believe the son!"
A wave of heart emptiness surged into his heart, and Song Xinxu's reddish eyes began to cry again.
The old emperor's face was embarrassed, and he directly ignored Shen Ling beside him, bowed his head and coaxed, "Don't cry, Yu'er, my father believes in you." ”
Shen Ling couldn't help sneering on the side, secretly mocking in her heart, do you believe her? Wait for the factual evidence to be placed in front of so many people, see if you still have the face to believe her.
As if sensing the coldness of the people around him, the old emperor turned his head with seriousness in his eyes, "Ling'er, what happened, you have to explain it clearly." ”
Shen Ling changed to the aggrieved face in an instant, lowered his head and didn't dare to squeak.
"Ling'er, raise your head and look at me, you have to think about it carefully, don't destroy your sisterhood because of some petty things!"
The old emperor's voice raised a lot, and his tone was half a point colder.
His scarlet eyes were staring at Shen Ling's body, and for some reason, since she and Jing Xi entered the main hall, they didn't know her in a trance.
The princess of the former dynasty, who was often hunched over and did not dare to speak loudly, actually looked at him directly!
Seeing that Shen Ling was silent, Song Xinyu kept throwing a wronged face, and the old emperor frowned, "Come closer, Ling'er." ”
As soon as Shen Ling took a few steps forward, he heard a different voice.
"Shen Ling, I'm not here to make a big deal about this matter today, I advise you to make it a big thing small, a small thing, if you insist on going on, don't blame me!"
The old emperor's voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it.
Now the Jing Xi in the hall, a pair of cold eyes are squinted, and the hands behind his back are tightly clenched together.
After the old emperor finished speaking, he pretended to be nothing and smiled.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about, the people don't understand."
Shen Ling tilted her head and took two steps back with an innocent expression, with a little horror in her eyes.
