Everyone standing outside the pavilion also heard the conversation between the prince and the emperor, and they were all envious and jealous.

Tao Lian reacted and hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty." ”

The Emperor looked at her in amazement, "Why not?" ”

"Because, because, because the courtiers haven't cleared the suspicion yet, what if I'm the one who pushed Xu Ying into the water? Isn't the prince going to marry a man of bad character? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Tao Lian just pushed Xu Ying, how can such a person be worthy of being the crown princess?"

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, an anxious voice interjected.

The Emperor turned his head to look, "Who are you?" ”

"The courtier's daughter is the Lin family's female mushroom." After Lin Qingmushroom stabilized his mind, he knelt down.

When the emperor heard this, he glanced at her, and his face pale, "Tao Lian's push for Xu Ying, did you see it with your own eyes?" ”

Lin Qingru was startled and shook her head, "The courtiers didn't see it, but when Xu Ying fell into the water, only Tao Lian was by her side, and before Xu Ying fell into a coma, she personally said that Tao Lian pushed her." ”

As she spoke, she sighed and looked at Tao Lian with an incomprehensible expression, "Mercy, how can you do something like that?" Xu Ying's health is not good, and now she suffers this crime again, doesn't she want her life? ”

Tao Lian frowned, "I didn't push her, I didn't push her......"

"It's useless to run away from something wrong." Lin Qingru sighed and said, "That's a living human life." ”

Tao Lian was very uncomfortable when she heard it, she didn't push Xu Ying, but Lin Qingru insisted that it was Xu Ying who she pushed, and now she is talking so seriously.

She was about to refute again, but Qi Yan suddenly said at this time: "Miss Lin, the matter has not been clarified yet, how can you make such a presumptuous conclusion, how can people feel like a thief shouting to catch a thief?" ”

Lin Qingru was taken aback, but her face was puzzled, "Why did the prince say this?" After a pause, he added, "It seems that the prince has taken a fancy to Tao Lian as the crown princess, so he wants to ignore the facts and excuse her."

Although the courtiers were soft-spoken, they were also bold, and wanted to ask the emperor to deal with the matter, and give Xu Ying justice, so as not to let the murderer go unpunished. ”

As soon as her voice fell, everyone's eyes looked at Qi Yan and Tao Lian with scrutiny.

Could it be that the prince is really excusing Tao Pian?

For a while, everyone had such a thought in their hearts.

Qi Yan's gaze swept over everyone, and the coldness crossed his eyes, this Lin Qingru would really splash dirty water on people.

"Lin Qingru, where were you when Xu Ying fell into the water?" His voice was unhurried, without the slightest fluster.

"The courtier's daughter went to the toilet at that time." Lin Qingru said methodically.

"Oh, so someone can prove it for you?" Qi Yan asked.

Lin Qingru's fingers under her sleeves clenched quietly.

Of course not, because she didn't go to the toilet......

"The toilet is not far away, and the courtiers will go by themselves."

The corners of Qi Yan's lips hooked slightly, "In this way, no one can prove it for you, when Xu Ying fell into the water, you went to the toilet." ”

"Even if no one testifies for the courtier, the courtier's daughter did go to the toilet, and Xu Ying fell into the water, what does it have to do with whether I go to the toilet or not?" Lin Qingru frowned.

"Of course there is a relationship, and it is a direct relationship, because Xu Ying is the one you pushed into the water." Qi Yan said in a firm tone.

Lin Qingru's face changed greatly, "Prince, how can you spew blood?" Xu Ying was obviously pushed into the water by Tao Lian, how did she become pushed by her courtier? Even if you are the crown prince, you have to talk about evidence when you speak.

Even if the courtiers die, they will not take the blame for Tao Lian. ”

Qi Yan smiled coldly, "You also know that you have to talk about evidence, but since you don't have evidence, how dare you say that Xu Ying was pushed into the water by Tao Lian?" ”

"The courtiers didn't talk nonsense, so many people present heard it at the time, it was Xu Ying who was pushed by Tao Lian, and it was Xu Ying who said it herself." Lin Qingru said loudly.

"Xu Ying was about to faint at that time, she was confused, how could what she said be regarded as evidence?" Qi Yan said in a deep voice, "It's you who are the most suspicious."

When it happened, you said that you went to the toilet, but no one can prove it to you, according to Lone's understanding, you are also the first time to come to this liquid pool, without the premise of palace people to guide the way, how did you find the toilet?

Or did you not go to the toilet at all, but hid not far from where Xu Ying and Tao Lian were standing, and then took advantage of the fact that the two of them were not paying attention, quietly went up and pushed Xu Ying.

Xu Ying only had Tao Lian by her side, so she took it for granted that it was Tao Lian who pushed her.

Your purpose is to get rid of Xu Ying and Tao Lian, but in fact, your plan to kill two birds with one stone is not clever. ”

At this moment, Lin Qingru's heart became flustered.

Why did the prince know so much, as if he was watching from the sidelines.

Thinking of this, her whole body felt like falling into an ice cave, but at this point, she still managed to calm down.

"Prince, the courtiers don't understand what you mean, the courtiers have no grievances with them, why do you want to get rid of them?"

The others also looked at Qi Yan in puzzlement, and even Wan Run didn't quite understand.

But the Emperor understood, but he did not say anything.

Qi Yan pursed his lower lip and said unhurriedly: "For the position of the crown princess!" ”

Lin Qingru's hands and feet were cold, but she still refused to admit it, "The courtiers don't understand what the prince means." ”

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Okay, this matter has been decided. Feng Quan, go to Xuanlin Moyan to enter the palace, and let him personally come to bring his daughter back. ”

"Yes." Feng Quan answered and went.

When Lin Qingru heard this, her face was as white as paper, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

The emperor glanced at her, "I originally wanted the prince to choose the right princess among the three noble daughters of Xu, Tao and Lin, if you don't cause trouble, maybe the prince will choose you, but you are so vicious, you actually pushed people into the water, and planted evil things on others' heads, it seems that the Lin family is really goddaughter." ”

Hearing this, everyone finally understood.

It turned out that what happened just now was really made by Lin Qingru.

She was embarrassed to shout to catch the thief, and swore that it was Tao Lian's doing.

It's vicious!

Tao Lian had already reacted, and looked at Lin Qingru in disbelief, "It's really Xu Ying that you pushed, Lin Qingru, you are really too much!" ”

When Lin Qingru heard this, she was stimulated, and glared at her viciously, "If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!" When you came to the palace today, didn't you also run for the position of the crown princess?

You've achieved your goal now, aren't you?

But you're just a little lucky, what do you have the qualifications to be the crown princess? ”

Tao Lian's eyes widened, looking at her in astonishment, as if she had known her for the first day, and defended a little weakly, "I didn't have ......"

She didn't know that today's lotus banquet was for the crown prince to choose a concubine.

I didn't expect that so many things would happen, and I didn't expect that the prince would choose her......
