The sharp blade pierces the garment, unimpeded.

An indescribable excitement surged in the depths of the eyes of the small commander of the Imperial Forest Army.

The moment he saw Emperor Jing Xing, he knew that he would definitely die.

But before you die, pull a princess to accompany you to the funeral, no matter how you look at it, you don't lose anything!

However, the next moment, his eyes widened and he stared at the person who had been stabbed in front of him.

It turned out to be not Princess Huaiqing, but Zhang Xun, the Duke of Dingguo!

And the sharp blade in his hand was like piercing steel, and it was difficult to get an inch inch.

This..., I haven't heard that Dingguo Gong has practiced hard qigong, how can his skin be so hard?

However, he didn't have time to think about it after all, because the next moment, he was punched by Ji Ling and flew dozens of meters away.

Seeing this, Zhang Xun lifted the inner lining, revealing the golden silk soft armor inside, and sneered: "Is it really that the old man is not prepared?" ”

The reason why he and Jia Pingsheng came was because Li Changkong found his son, saying that he had found important evidence to clear up his grievances for His Royal Highness the Prince, and implored them to enter the palace and meet His Majesty.

At the same time, Princess Huaiqing may encounter an accident and needs to be rescued quickly.

Such a big event, how could he and Jia Pingsheng sit still, hurriedly enter the palace, and greet His Majesty.

Although the palace gate is now completely blocked, Emperor Jingxing always has to deal with government affairs.

Therefore, whether it is Jia Pingsheng or Zhang Xun, he will more or less enter the palace with the warrant given by Emperor Jingxing on weekdays.

When the guards saw that it was the two of them, and they were in a hurry, they naturally knew that something big was happening, and Zhang Xun repeatedly emphasized that he would bear what happened, and he would never blame the guards, so he entered the palace and met Emperor Jingxing.

That's why we have this one.

It is also thanks to him to make a quick decision, otherwise looking at this scene, if he is one step late, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, is there anything wrong?" Zhang Xun turned around, looked at Huaiqing carefully, and saw that there were no obvious wounds on his body, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you to the Duke of Dingguo, the palace is fine. It's just a pity that these dead Royal Forest soldiers, they all died to defend the palace. ”

"Rest assured, Your Majesty will have a generous burial and compensate his family."

Compared with Zhang Xun's eloquent talk, Ji Ling was much more silent, and his face was extremely ugly.

He looked at the subordinate in front of him who was beaten half to death by his punch, and said coldly: "Who are you?" ”

Who would have thought that the little commander didn't say a word, and directly wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide.

Seeing this, Ji Ling immediately stepped forward and subdued him, and at the same time tore off a piece of clothing and stuffed his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide again.

The value of this man's life is much greater than that of death.

If he really dies like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to wash myself if I jump into the Yellow River.

Although it wasn't him Ji Ling who wanted to kill the princess himself, but his subordinates did it, who can be sure that he didn't instruct it?

In addition, he had some conflicts with Princess Huaiqing because of the capture of the crown prince before.

This makes the already grim situation even worse.

"How daring! How daring! ”

In the distance, after seeing Huaiqing being rescued, Emperor Jing Xing first breathed a sigh of relief, and then an irrepressible anger surged in his chest.

"The Imperial Forest Army was originally set up by Gaozu to defend the royal family and defend the court."

"It's good now, it's almost a weapon to kill the descendants of the royal family!"

"Am I too tolerant of you on weekdays? That's why there are so many moths! ”

"Ji Ling, are you guilty?"

When Ji Ling heard this, he knelt down on one knee and confessed his mistake: "The last general is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." ”

"Punish you for your crimes and meritorious service, and find out the people behind this house for me."

"If it is found out, the matter will be stopped. If you don't find out...... Emperor Jing Xing didn't say much, just snorted coldly, but everyone present felt the chill.

After angrily scolding Ji Ling, Emperor Jing Xing walked towards Huaiqing again, and like Zhang Xun, after looking up and down, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay." ”

"Thank you for your concern." Huaiqing bent over, his face was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no superfluous expression.

Emperor Jing Xing sighed when he saw this, he knew that Huaiqing was blaming him for arresting Liu Yu and stunned Empress Lu.

But... If he doesn't punish him, how can he give an explanation to the people of the world?

The great cadres govern the country according to law, and they pay attention to the fact that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people.

In the past few hundred years, how can the foundation laid by more than ten generations of ancestors make an exception for that rebel?

"Li Changkong said that you found a person who can prove the prince's innocence?" Jingxing Emperor Road.

Huaiqing was moved, nodded, and said: "One person is named Zhen Jian, who was originally a member of the Wuling Marquis' Mansion, and then was sent to the East Palace by Li Changkong as a eunuch. ”

"There is another person named Wei Xiang, who is the chief eunuch of the East Palace."

"These two people witnessed all the processes at the time of the crime, and they may be used as witnesses."

Emperor Jing Xing nodded when he heard this, and asked, "Where are these two now?" ”

"In the Son's Mansion."

"Then shout out, I will be interrogated on the spot!"

A moment later, both Zhen Jian and Wei Xiang were awakened and brought to Emperor Jing Xing.

Although Zhen Jian said that he had never seen the emperor, the dragon robe on Emperor Jing Xing's body was extremely conspicuous, he saw the identity of the other party at a glance, and immediately knelt down excitedly, and said: "Grass people Zhen Jian, I have seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!" ”

"Pingshen, Huaiqing said that you witnessed the whole process of the crime?"

"Your Majesty, that's true. The grass people saw that it was Wei Xiang who secretly brought the dragon robe and the witch Gu villain with His Majesty's name written on it to the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince, and hid the dragon robe and the witch villain when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out to the banquet. ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Emperor Jing Xing looked at Wei Xiang and said, "Is what he said true?" ”

When Wei Xiang heard this, he didn't say a word.

He knew that if he said one more word now, there would be less hope of survival.

As long as he hasn't opened his mouth, he has enough value, and that person can still save himself.

Seeing this, Zhang Xun rushed up to fight a big fight, beating Wei Xiang in the eye, and angrily reprimanded: "Your Majesty asked you!" ”

But even so, Wei Xiang still didn't say a word, and even raised his head, making it look like he would kill me.

When Emperor Jing Xing saw this, he waved his hand, signaled Zhang Xun to stop, and then said to Ji Ling: "You take this person back and transfer it to the Criminal Department and the Imperial City Division, they have their own means to pry open this person's mouth." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhen Jian again and asked, "Since you know the truth, why didn't you say it at the beginning?" Instead, you want to escape from the East Palace? ”

"Your Majesty, it's not that the grass people want to escape, but that Wei Xiang found out that the matter was exposed, and he wanted to exterminate the grass people."

"And Wei Xiang has many helpers in the palace, and the grass people are invincible, so they can only flee to the desolate corners of the palace in order to survive, until they are found by Her Royal Highness the princess, so that the truth can be made public."
