Chapter 12
"How could there be a man in the princess's house in the middle of the night?"
A sentence was like a hot pot soaked in cold water and exploded instantly.
"Princess, even if you are not satisfied with the prince, you shouldn't be so shameless and embarrassing the prince's face."
Ye Yan'er couldn't believe it: "I usually hear my servants say that you are nothave properly in private, so I turned a blind eye. Now so many people are watching, spreading it out, so what's the face of the prince?"
Every word Ye Yan'er was like adding fuel to the fire, igniting King Xiao's anger.
King Xiao was furious, his fists creaked, and he gritted his teeth: "Chu Yunning!"
Chu Yunning pointed to the burning house and said angrily: "Are you stupid or I stupid, waiting for someone to catch the stolen goods?"
Ye Yan'er hid pitifully behind King Xiao and muttered: "Prince, could it be that the princess was discovered by someone, so she was so angry that she set fire to destroy the body?"
This explanation is reasonable.
King Xiao nodded in approval: "She must be shameless!"
"My mother is not ashamed. It was this man who secretly came to steal her mother's jewelry and knocked over the candlelight. My mother couldn't control the fire and then took me out!"
Beibei pouted with red eyes and looked dissatisfied.
"Princess, how can you teach children to lie? What else is worth stealing from Danqiongyuan?"
As soon as Ye Yan'er said that, Chu Yunning caught the handle and asked quickly: "What's this? I am the eldest daughter of the Chu family, with a generous dowry, and the empress dowry is rewarded from time to time. How could it not be worth remembering if there is countless gold, silver and treasures? In addition, there is not even a guard in Danqiong Courtyard, which is a good opportunity to start. Concubine Ye, do you think?"
Ye Yan'er was so guilty that she opened her eyes. In recent years, in order to win people's hearts, and she spent more money on her usual care, she tried her best to eliminate the subordinates of Danqiong Courtyard. Taking Chu Yunning's dowry was as simple as taking things out of her bag.
Thanks to this dowry in the past five years, it is enough to support her in the glory of people in front of others.
At this time, the man in the room was rescued, and someone immediately recognized him as the youngest son of the concierge Zhang Da, who was usually responsible for the errands running in the yard.
"Zhang Xiaoer usually likes to gather to gamble. Today, she was so angry that she almost burned us to death. She asked the prince to give justice!"
Chu Yunning's eyes suddenly flashed through the coldness.
Seeing that Chu Yunning was orderly, King Xiao hesitated for a moment before instructing the secret guard to investigate. Soon the secret guard reported that Zhang Xiaoer did love gambling and owed a lot of money, and was privately collected by the gambling house.
"Your Majesty, it's Yan'er's fault." Seeing that this was wrong, Ye Yan'er knelt down and apologized: "Yan'er is in charge of the internal affairs of the prince's mansion, but he didn't expect that someone dared to act boldly and took the opportunity to bully Danqiongyuan. It was Yan'er's dereliction of duty."
"It turns out that the princess knew what was going on for a long time. No wonder she kept asking Concubine Ye to swear. Concubine Ye was in charge of the huge royal palace, and negligence was inevitable. The princess was so aggressive and deliberately made things difficult for others. "
The butler immediately stood up to argue for Ye Yan'er, looking like a traitor: "Prince, Concubine Ye has been trembling in recent years and has done her best to the royal family. It is all Zhang Xiaoer's fault. We can't blame Concubine Ye, but we also ask the prince to understand."
Chu Yunning was so angry that she laughed. After all, she became a victim?
The fire behind it was quickly extinguished with everyone's concerted efforts, and a strong burnt smell was still burning in the air.
Zhang Xiaoer on the ground was still unconscious, and King Xiao kicked him up.
Zhang Xiaoer woke up sobly, looking at the people around him in a daze, and was frightened.
King Xiao said angrily: "You are so brave that you dare to steal it into the palace. Someone will come. I will drag it out for me and kill it with a stick!"
"Slow down!" Chu Yunning scolded suddenly. If Zhang Xiaoer dies, she will not be able to wash it even if she jumps into the Yellow River in the future.
"Is the princess trying to protect Zhang Xiaoer, is it? Or is it because the princess feels distressed?" Ye Yan'er was surprised, her eyes wandering around Zhang Xiaoer and Beibei. The meaning was self-evident. King Xiao quickly understood Ye Yan'er's meaning, and his face became increasingly ugly.
Chu Yunning rolled his eyes, and was angry.
"You can kill and cut people, but there is always a crime, right?"
"The princess wanted to secretly execute Zhang Xiaoer. Think about it, it was, after all, this was a scandal in the royal palace. If it spread, it would only make the prince lose all face."
Ye Yan'er spared no effort to put a hat on Chu Yunning's head, as if she had already determined that she had stole someone.
Chu Yunning sneered: "Why are Concubine Ye? She is here. You can find out the truth after checking. If I want to feel guilty, can I keep him there?"
Ye Yan'er bit her lips and said nothing, surprised that Chu Yunning's changes in the past few years had not been surrounded by her.
You should know that in the past, Chu Yunning was a fool, and she could not withstand the anger, so she could easily be led by her.
What happened this time?
Chu Yunning ignored Ye Yan'er and stared at King Xiao: "There are not many people in Danqiong Courtyard. Zhang Xiaoer came to kill and set fire in the middle of the night. Shouldn't the prince be interrogating clearly before making a decision?"
At this time, Ye Yan'er pulled King Xiao's sleeve and said softly: "Prince, there are so many people who have been tormenting this midnight. If something really happens to interrogate something bad, where will the prince's mansion be put? Why not kill Zhang Xiaoer by sticking it and treat this as his stealing to convict."
King Xiao pondered for a moment, his eyes wandered on Zhang Xiaoer and Chu Yunning, and then nodded.
"Yan'er, what you said is reasonable, just do what you said."
Ye Yan'er immediately smiled happily and said to Chu Yunning: "Princess, the princess is no longer pursuing it. It's all Zhang Xiaoer's fault. It's not too early. Everyone, go back and rest."
After the words came, the maids and mothers praised Concubine Ye for her kindness.
Chu Yunning sighed: "Forget it, it turns out that the lives of our mother and son are so humble in the eyes of Concubine Ye."
"Princess, I don't mean that..." Ye Yan'er frowned.
"We are not burned to death today. We dare not stay in this palace. As soon as the sky dawns, we will go to the palace gate to wait and ask for a place to save our lives."
Chu Yunning held Beibei with his hands, and felt extremely disappointed with King Xiao.
Ye Yan'er was a little panicked when she heard this. The Empress Dowager didn't like her at first, so she didn't want to annoy the Empress Dowager anymore.
So Ye Yan'er looked at King Xiao with grievance: "Prince, Yan'er just kindly suggested, but she didn't expect the princess to be so unhappy."
"Yan'er, it's not your fault for this. She did the shameless thing. Since she insisted on investigating it, I will let her die and understand!"
At the order of King Xiao, Zhang Xiaoer was tied up and kneeled on the ground.
"Tell me, what's going on when I come to Danqiongyuan tonight?"
Zhang Xiaoer had never seen this scene before she was shocked after a long time: "I... prince, slave was invited by the princess."
"What?" Ye Yan'er covered her mouth and was surprised:
"It's really... Princess, you are angry with the prince. You shouldn't have done anything that hurts the prince's face openly. Alas, Princess is confused!"
"Shut up!" Chu Yunning rubbed his ears, and heard her chirping all night.
"The prince is not a fool, he can make a judgment on himself, so there is no need for Concubine Ye to remind him."
Ye Yan'er's face was slightly stiff. She looked at King Xiao, and she was indeed a little unfair.
Seeing this, she had to shut up with tactfulness.
She wants to see how Chu Yunning cleanses herself this time!
So everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Xiaoer.
Zhang Xiaoer swallowed and looked at Chu Yunning nervously.
Chu Yunning raised his eyebrows and said carelessly: "I am the imperial princess. If you steal to Danqiongyuan, you will be beaten at most. If you are invited, you will slander the royal family and affect the nine tribes. None of the whole family can escape. You have to consider it before answering."
Zhang Xiaoer swallowed the words he said to her mouth.
Zhang Xiaoer quickly distinguished the difference between the two and the whole family and kowtowed to King Xiao: "The prince is the fault of the slave. The servant came to Danqiongyuan for a moment to steal, begging the prince for spare time."
Ye Yan'er heard him denying it, angry and anxious. Just as she was about to say something, King Xiao kicked Zhang Xiaoer with one foot: "You also released the fire?"
"Slave...slave hasn't." Zhang Xiaoer shook his head. He had no idea what happened to fire.
The top leader only arranged for him to make trouble and slander the princess's innocence, but did not say that he killed someone and set fire.
"Prince, we, mother and son, have just returned to Danqiongyuan. We didn't know if there had been any thieves in the yard before. I suggest checking the warehouse and giving me an explanation."
Chu Yunning waited for a long time, just waiting for this opportunity.
Half of the dowry was missing in the warehouse, and most of them were embezzled by Ye Yan'er. She asked Ye Yan'er to vomit a lot.
Ye Yan'er suddenly tightened her heart, wiped the corners of her eyes with a veil, and choked and said, "Prince, did the princess misunderstand that Yan'er was thinking about the princess' dowry?"
Before King Xiao spoke, Chu Yunning turned to comfort Ye Yan'er: "I believe that Concubine Ye is not a despicable villain who is greedy for money, but it is a fact that my dowry is lost. Should I give me an explanation?"
After being insulted by someone pointing at the tip of his nose, Ye Yan'er swallowed it in one breath and smiled embarrassedly: "The princess is right, but it's too late today. Why not wait for tomorrow to check it out and see what is missing."
Ye Yan'er snuggled in King Xiao's arms like a bird dependent on others, covering her chest with a pale face and gasping heavily.
Seeing this, King Xiao waved his hand: "There is no rush at this time, I will be retrial tomorrow."
"etc!"
Chu Yun would rather not be able to wait all night, because this night can change too many things.
King Xiao frowned.
"Prince, Yan'er is a little uncomfortable." Ye Yan'er held her forehead with her weak face.
"Don't be anxious for Concubine Ye, it's all right away."
Chu Yunning asked Aunt Mao to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and threw it to Zhang Xiaoer: "Write your words today and press your handprint."
Zhang Xiaoer was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do.
"The prince is not at ease, and the person is not at my nose. I am not at ease, so I just write a few words. Concubine Ye should be able to hold on, right?"
Chu Yunning seemed to be smiling. She was not stupid. By then, if someone died, there would be no evidence of death, and even ten mouths could not explain it clearly.
Ye Yan'er's face changed slightly. When she watched Zhang Xiaoer write down the letters, her head buzzed, and she was so angry that she wanted to slap Zhang Xiaoer twice.
idiot!
After blowing the ink traces dry, Chu Yunning put the letter in his arms, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty, you have to take good care of others, don't die and become disabled."
After saying that, Chu Yunning ignored the expressions of the two and led Beibei into the side room.
Chapter completed!
