Seeing him coming, everyone was startled and hurriedly knelt down, "See the emperor." ”

Concubine Xian stepped forward with an ugly face, "Your Majesty, something has just happened." ”

"What's the situation?" The emperor sank his face.

Seeing this, Concubine Xian immediately knelt down and said very reproachfully: "There is a noble girl who pushed another noble girl into the water, causing the noble girl to faint, and the concubine is not doing her best, and she asked the emperor to punish her." ”

The emperor said impatiently, "You get up first." ”

Concubine Xian had no choice but to stand up.

"Where is the noble lady who gave birth to trouble?" The emperor's majestic gaze swept over everyone present.

Everyone fell to their knees, trembling.

"There." Concubine Xian pointed to the side.

The emperor looked over and saw that in the pavilion, Wan Run was helping a girl, comforting something, the girl was wrapped in a cloak, and her head and face were covered with water.

The emperor frowned, but without waiting for him to say anything, Qi Yan, who was standing on the side, suddenly strode towards the pavilion.

"Tao Lian?" Qi Yan looked at the girl who was being supported by Wan Run in a daze, not understanding how she made herself look like this.

Tao Lian had no master of the six gods at this time, and he was very flustered.

Hearing the familiar voice, she hurriedly raised her head, and when she looked at the prince's familiar dark, but vaguely concerned eyes, she was like a drowning person, grabbing driftwood, and subconsciously pulled his sleeve, "His Royal Highness the prince, the courtiers didn't push Xu Ying, it's really not my ......"

"Don't worry, what's going on, you say it carefully, Lonely, Lonely is in charge of you." Qi Yan couldn't help but say, put his hand on her shoulder, and patted it gently as if soothingly.

Hearing this, Tao Lian's voice was a little choked and said: "At that time, I was standing by the pool with Xu Ying and Lin Qingru to enjoy the lotus, and after a while, Lin Qingyu was going to go to the toilet, so he left, only me and Xu Ying were still standing there, and I didn't know what was going on, Xu Ying screamed, and suddenly fell into the pool."

Before she fell unconscious, she asked me why I was pushing her, but I didn't push her......"

It may have been explained too many times, so when it comes to the back, Tao Lian's voice is a little weak.

"Was there anyone around at the time?" Qi Yan asked.

Tao Lian shook his head, "There is no one, it is relatively secluded." ”

"Then why are you also wet and you have fallen?" Qi Yan frowned and asked.

"After Xu Ying fell into the pool, she also jumped down, and she rescued Xu Ying." This time, it was Wan Run who answered for Tao Lian, "At that time, we heard the sound of someone falling into the water, so we rushed over, just in time to see Tao Lian jumping down to save people, and after she rescued people, the Xu family girl held a breath and asked her why she pushed her."

It was also because of her question that everyone thought it was Tao Liantui's person. ”

After Qi Yan heard this, he roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter.

Seeing that he was silent, Tao Lian clenched his sleeve, "Your Highness, the courtier didn't push people, she fell by herself......"

Qi Yan looked down at her little hand holding her sleeve, paused, and raised her eyes to look at her, "Well, I believe you." ”

When Tao Lian heard this, the tears that he had endured for a long time rolled down.

There are so many people, except for Wan Jieyu and the prince, no one believes her at all, and even Lin Qingru, who has more dealings with her on weekdays, also thinks that she pushed Xu Ying.

At this time, the prince said I believe you, which moved her very much.

The prince is really a good person, and so is Wan Jieyu.

In Qi Yan's impression, Tao Lian has always been a very happy and carefree girl, the first time he saw her crying, his heart tightened inexplicably, and the hands under his sleeves were unconsciously tightened.

"Tao Lian, don't cry, the prince and I both believe in you and will help you make the decision." Wan Run said softly with relief, and took a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"Father!" At this time, Qi Yan suddenly said.

Wan Run was stunned for a moment, looked up, and saw a bright yellow figure standing outside the pavilion, it was the emperor.

I don't know how long he's been here.

She paused, pulled Tao Lian to get up and salute, "I've seen the emperor." ”

The emperor glanced at her, walked in, his eyes fell on Tao Lian, looked at him for a moment, and asked, "Are you the fifth girl of the Tao family?" ”

"It's the courtier." Tao Lian immediately replied, she had just cried, and her voice was still a little choked.

"That Xu Ying, you really didn't push it?" The Emperor asked.

"It's really not, the courtiers don't have a reason to push her." Tao Lian frowned, very aggrieved, she jumped into the water to save her as soon as possible, "If the courtiers pushed her, why did the courtiers save her?" ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, "You jumped down to save her in order to clear your suspicion." ”

"But the fact is that the courtiers did not get rid of their disgust, and they also got into trouble." Tao Lian raised the back of her hand and wiped her tears, very sad, "If I do it, I can stand by and let her sink down, then there will be no right death?" ”

Speaking of the back, her voice was lowered.

The emperor looked at her with some surprise, but he didn't expect this little girl to look soft and glutinous, and she reacted quickly.

This girl from Taofu is quite smart.

The emperor's eyes showed appreciation, and he looked at Wan Run and Qi Yan, "Why do you believe that she didn't push people based on her words?" ”

Wanrun naturally couldn't say it, she believed her because she knew that Tao Lian was Tao Yao's sister, and she replied: "The concubine just thinks that if she wants to harm people, she can use other methods, this method is really stupid, and people can see it at once." ”

The corners of the emperor's lips hooked, and he said with interest: "Then if it is Wan Jieyu, what will be the way to harm people?" ”

"Concubine ......" Wan Run stopped the conversation in time, and said with a serious face, "The concubine has never harmed people, how can this concubine know?" ”

The emperor looked at her deeply and said unhurriedly: "Just suppose it, suppose it's you, what will you do?" ”

Wan Run glanced at him, "The emperor can ask others, and you don't need to arrest the concubines to ask them, right?" ”

The emperor smiled, and really didn't ask her again, but looked at Qi Yan, "Why does the prince believe that Miss Tao didn't push people?" ”

Qi Yan paused and replied, "Do you remember what my father said in the imperial study?" The candidate for the crown princess in Erchen's mind is Miss Tao Wu.

And as Wan Jieyu said, if Tao Lian wants to harm others, she can use other methods, she is so smart, if she harms people's hearts, how can she use such a stupid method to trap herself in a disadvantageous situation? ”

The emperor was stunned, "Candidate for the crown princess?" ”

"Please also ask my father to fulfill it!" Qi Yan bowed his hand and bent down.

"You've identified it as her?" The Emperor asked again.

"Yes." Qi Yan said without hesitation.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "In this case, I agreed. ”

Tao Lian froze in place, looking at Qi Yan a little inexplicably.

What does prince mean?

Why did you choose her to be the crown princess?

It's a strange twist.

A moment ago, everyone thought she was the murderer who pushed Xu Ying.
