03 The princess's quibble
This shocked everyone, they didn't expect this Josuke-sama to be so tough, a word is not right and he will crash the stairs and die, seeing that he is the disaster of his head and body death, everyone thought that he was going to die in the hall, but they didn't expect a black shadow to flash, and a person blocked in front of Josuke-sama, he carried spiritual power in his hand, pushed it, and stopped his impulsive move.
Qing Zhan held up Lord Josuke who was in a rage, and said with a smile: "Why should your lord be so angry, your city lord has never said that he will not be the master for you, so why should you be so uncaring for your life." β
Lord Josuke wiped his tears with his long sleeves and said: "The old man is such a son, even if my son has any faults, but the old man must know why he became like this, even if he dies, he will be humiliated like this, what is the use of the old minister alive, it is better to die on top of this hall, and he can also keep a little dignity of the old minister." β
Yu Qing saw that Chengfu actually made trouble to the point of hitting the steps, so he became nervous, he got down the high hall, walked in front of Chengsuke, and said, "Why do you have to do this, aren't you forcing the master?" As a princess, how could Sister Cheng meet your son in the dead of night, and how could she be like this to your son? Presumably, there are assassins in this city who have broken in, and the lord will take a good look at it, so Josuke will first bring his son back to Haosheng for burial, and then rest in peace in the house, no longer need to go to the court to discuss matters, and the master will give you a satisfactory answer to the killing of the son. β
"My beloved son has not been wronged, how to bury him, even if the old minister wants to resign and rest, he needs to understand the cause of his son's death before he is willing, the Lord told me to rest at home, is it to let the old minister return to the West as soon as possible?" Josuke was angry, stubborn, and didn't listen to anything.
"You..."Yu Qing's face turned pale with anger, he really wanted to escort this stubborn old man down, but in front of the young monarch of Wangcheng, how dare he do this, "Okay, I will let the princess come out to confront him face to face, so as to fulfill the wish of Lord Chengfu, however, if this matter has nothing to do with Sister Chengfu, I hope that Lord Chengfu will go down and stop openly resisting in the main hall." β
"Thank you, Lord!" Thinking that the castle lord had agreed to this, Josuke-sama burst into tears.
The eunuch went out of the palace to pass the princess, and everyone waited anxiously in the hall, thinking that Princess Najing was about to appear, Jielan didn't know why, there was a sense of resentment in her heart, it seemed that she always remembered what happened last night, not to mention that Princess Jing wanted to frame herself, and Jielan couldn't let go of this grudge anyway.
It's just that she doesn't know whether this Mo Li was killed by Princess Najing or killed by Qing Zhan, if Qing Zhan killed her in order to save the princess, then what should she do? In the end, he will definitely be held accountable, so will he also be imprisoned?
Even if Jielan is disheartened by Qing Zhan, she can't help but care about his life and death. And Qing Zhan looked back at Jielan, who was frowning, as if he understood her thoughts, and threw a faint smile at her, Jielan looked at his unflustered expression, and was very angry in his heart, I don't know if he can still be so safe and worry-free.
After half a cup of tea, Princess Najing entered the hall, she saw Mo Li lying on the stretcher at first sight, and when she saw this person, Princess Jing's eyes floated with hatred, and then she caught a glimpse of Qing Zhan, and a pair of eyes fell on him, and Qing Zhan also looked at him, his eyes were full of disdain and indifferent anger.
When Yu Qing saw his sister, he was actually very worried that she had done it, so he said to her in a deep voice: "Do you know this person's sister on the ground?" β
Yu Jing didn't look at him, and said proudly: "Why do I know this kind of person, since he is a dead person, why did Brother Cheng ask me to come and see?" β
Chengfu heard Princess Jing call his beloved son like this, how could he not be angry, and Yu Qing was also afraid that his sister's attitude would annoy the other party, so he scolded him and said: "This is the beloved son of Lord Chengfu, and Chengmei is not allowed to be rude." β
"Oh, is it? Since he is the beloved son of Lord Josuke, he doesn't know what serious crimes he has committed to be sentenced like this, so it seems that Lord Josuke-sama should discipline his children well, so as not to be punished again in the future. Princess Jing was full of anger and said with her toes high.
This sentence made Josuke-sama even more angry, and he said angrily: "The old minister's beloved son was killed like this, the princess, please be lenient, the old minister can't afford the princess's words." β
"Hmph, what is the use of the adopted son like this, I will die when I see him die, what is the matter with this princess, you called me to this palace, is it to come to your beloved son with such a hideous face?" Although Yu Jing is very tough, she is actually very scared in her heart, afraid that she will be found out by this Chengfu that she did it, and she may inevitably have to suffer when the time comes, so she wants to get out as soon as possible.
"Didn't the princess see the old man's rebel son last night? Before Aiko left, she said that she would come to the city court to meet the princess, what should the princess say? Josuke said angrily.
Yu Jing hated it even more, and said: "What kind of identity does this princess have, how can she meet him, if you ruin the innocence of this princess again, this princess will definitely punish you for false accusations." β
Chengsuke heard her say this, and was even more distressed, he hurriedly took out a pair of jade earrings from his cuffs, which happened to be Princess Jing's things, and when Mo Li was rude to her last night, her earrings hung on his shirt, so he stayed.
Yu Jing was also quite shocked when she saw her earrings, she was naturally a little flustered, but she quickly calmed down.
"This pair of earrings must be the princess's, if the princess has not seen her son, how can she leave your personal belongings on her son." Josuke asked.
"Hmph, ridiculous, a pair of ordinary earrings is said to be the princess's, and Josuke-sama is too arbitrary!" Princess Jing didn't budge in the slightest.
"This pair of jade earrings is made of spirit stones, it is a congratulatory gift from the princess to the princess when the princess is a rite of passage, Qing Zhou City is only this pair, if the lord and the ministers do not believe it, let people check it, to see if the old man is lying, or the princess can take out her own pair, so that the old minister can be convinced." Josuke-sama is pressing forward step by step.
Princess Jing was very annoyed, she didn't know what to do, she was so angry that her face turned pale, her hands trembled, and she couldn't help but look at the Qingzhan who was looking at the stage to the side, her eyes were full of help for Qingzhan, but Qingzhan just smiled indifferently, as if she didn't care about her.
"Maybe your son stole this princess, are you actually to blame this princess?" Princess Jing really didn't know how to get away with it.
When Lord Josuke heard that the injustice of his beloved son's murder had not yet been revealed, and now he was accused of his son by this arrogant and rude princess, as Josuke, he had never been insulted like this, and he only said angrily to the city lord: "The old minister's son died unclear, is it so falsely accused?" If the lord also said this, it would make the old minister really cold, the old minister has been loyal to the lord for so many years, but to this day, the old minister is really ashamed of the ancestors, the heavens, and the people of Qing Zhou City. β
Hearing him mention the first master, Yu Qing's face turned a little colder, and he only said: "Chengfu said this, that is to blame the master, why is the matter of the city sister on Lingzi, this master will also investigate clearly, please don't make a noise about this matter in the main hall." β
"So the lord doesn't give an explanation to the old minister?" Josuke was already a little disheartened.
Yu Qing knew that this city assistant was in a high position, if he was angry, he would definitely let his protΓ©gΓ©s quit the dynasty, and it was very likely that there would be an incident, he only said: "Since the city sister said that she didn't see Lord Ling Gongzi last night, where is it, there must be a maid to accompany her." He was reminding her to look for witnesses to prove her innocence.
But as soon as these words were spoken, he saw Lord Chengfu: "No, in the early hours of the morning, I got a report from the guards, so I entered the city court, and found the two maids in the grass in the back garden. β
Princess Jing really didn't know how to hide it, she suddenly looked at Qingzhen, and said, "Last night, Princess Ben was with Shaojun, if you want to ask Lord Chengfu, ask Shaojun!" Although she was afraid that Qingzhan would tell the truth, she felt that even if she was going to die, she wanted to drag Qingzhan with her.
Qing Zhan didn't expect her to say herself, which made all the officials, including the city lord of Yu Qing, very shocked, and they couldn't understand that the dignified young monarch would do such a thing as a late-night tryst with the princess, being stained with such a stigma, Qing Zhan's reputation was bound to be damaged, he looked at Princess Jing, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, but his smiling eyes were full of anger, he only said: "Benjun was indeed with Princess Jing last night, originally to prevent this tragedy, but he didn't expect it to happen, which made Benjun very sorry." β
As soon as Cheng Fu heard this, he immediately knew that Shaojun knew the inside story, so he came over and asked: "Su Wen Shaojun is the deacon of the 'Imperial Deaf Group', he has always been strict with the law and discipline, and will not tolerate anyone, my son is now suffering such a grievance, so naturally I have to avenge him, and I also ask Shaojun to see that for the sake of the old man's loss of his beloved son, he can say what the young man knows, and the old man is grateful." β
Qing stood in front of Princess Jing and said: "Although the princess has a marriage contract with Benjun, but Benjun is also the kind of person who favors and shields, the princess has a hatred for Jielan, but she can't deal with her for her own personal grudges, since the prince of Chengfu loves you, if you don't like it, you can push it back, why design it for her in order to frame Jielan, stun Jielan and want her to go instead of you" Hanyu Palace', fortunately, after Benjun knew, he asked his subordinates to rescue her, this matter was already over, and Mo Li Gongzi asked him to wait for a night, but why did the princess have to go to see if Jielan was in charge in person? As a result, Mo Li Gongzi mistakenly thought that you came to the appointment, even if he did something rude to you, why did you vent your anger and kill him, this gentleman has forgiven your mistakes, but why should you do it again? Qingzhan really didn't expect Yu Jing to actually kill Mo Li, if he knew, he would definitely stop it, so he was a little disappointed in her.
