As he spoke, Ming Zizhan also raised his orchid fingers, deliberately making a voluptuous look.
It was so eye-catching that even Ming Xingjian, who had always been calm, couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body, and he couldn't bear to give him a slap on the back of his head.
"Does wearing women's clothing make you sick?"
Ming Zizhan clicked his tongue twice: "Brother, you have double standards. We wear the same clothes. When facing Miss Yan, you are as gentle as water, but when facing me, you want to slap me to death. Who is the right one?"
Your dearest and most beloved person?"
"The person closest to you admits that the person you love most does not exist. Stay away from me and finish the meal quickly. I have to do other things."
Ming Zizhan did it on purpose. He would go out of his way to help his eldest brother chase his wife. Not only was his eldest brother not grateful, he even disliked him. He was so heartless!
Besides, he doesn't think he is ugly in women's clothes. After all, this handsome face is right here, how could he be so ugly?
Ming Zizhan admired himself for a while, then grabbed the chicken legs again and started chewing them.
Halfway through the meal, I heard a lot of movement outside, and soon, a guard hurried in.
"Young Master, it's not good!"
When Ming Xingjian saw someone running in, he immediately turned Ming Zizhan's head away. Ming Zizhan couldn't swallow a mouthful of chicken leg meat, it was stuck in his throat and he couldn't go up or down. He choked and rolled his eyes.
"What's the matter?"
The guard hurriedly replied: "My eldest son, the queen is here. The minister of Dali Temple and others were also called over. They are blocking the door of the cell, shouting that Dali Temple failed in its duty and let the fugitive escape. They want to go into the sky prison to check.
, my subordinates can’t stop me anymore!”
If the prince or Pei Duqin came, Ming Xingjian could definitely stop him, but this time it was Queen Pei, and even if Qi Jue's name was brought out, this woman would definitely not buy it.
Moreover, Queen Pei and others clamored that Dali Temple had let go of the fugitives, and even came to investigate in person. They must have discovered that Yan Mingzhu was not in the prison, so they came to make trouble like this.
Once Queen Pei and others are allowed in and find out that Yan Mingzhu is really not in the Heavenly Prison, not to mention the Yuan family and the previous dynasty, just leaving the Heavenly Prison without permission is a serious crime of disobeying the imperial edict!
Ming Zizhan turned his head hurriedly, "The queen and her party knew about Miss Yan's absence? We are all our people before and after. How did this old fox know about it? Brother, what should we do? Otherwise, I
Kill them directly, and I will chop anyone who dares to step into the heavenly prison, or in the worst case, we will fight to the death."
"Stop, are you rushing out in women's clothes because you are afraid that others will not know that you and Miss Yan have switched identities?"
Ming Xingjian pulled Ming Zizhan back and asked him to stay in the cell. "No matter what happens outside, you can't come out wearing these clothes. I am alone outside."
After giving the instructions, Ming Xingjian hurried out with the others.
"You are so outrageous. The Queen is visiting Dali Temple in person. If anyone dares to stop you, please get out of the way. Otherwise, don't blame the sword for having no eyes!"
Blocking the entrance to the Tianlao were the guards of Dingbei Palace, who refused to give in even when facing the Queen.
"We have been ordered by His Highness King Dingbei to guard the gate of the Heavenly Prison. Except for those with permission from His Highness, no one is allowed to enter the Heavenly Prison without His Highness's instructions. Violators will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as Queen Pei saw the posture of these guards, she knew that the situation in the secret letter must be true, otherwise why would these people guard the door of the prison.
"Who gave you the courage to attack the Queen?"
Aunt Lu wanted to come forward aggressively to argue, but the guard immediately drew his sword. Seeing this, the people on Queen Pei's side also drew their swords. The two faced each other, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
"Wei Chen has met the Queen, and may she be blessed."
At this moment, Ming Xingjian walked out of the prison unhurriedly and saluted Queen Pei first.
"It turns out it's Ming Shaoqing. Ming Shaoqing wasn't properly serving as your Shaoqing in Taichang Temple, but he went to Dali Temple. Do you want to act on behalf of Dali Temple?"
Ming Xingjian kept the posture of cupping her hands, and replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "I don't dare, I am under the order of His Highness the North King, and I am fully responsible for the care of Yan Mingzhu. I don't know what the Queen is talking about when she mobilizes troops and mobilizes like this."
?”
"He's just a prisoner. Is he worthy of being guarded by you, the young minister of Taichang Temple?"
Regarding Queen Pei's disrespectful use of the word "prisoner" on Yan Mingzhu, Ming Xingjian frowned in displeasure and said, "Queen, the assassination at the palace banquet and the poisoning of His Royal Highness Prince Dingbei are still under investigation."
There is no conclusive evidence to convict,
What's more, Miss Yan is only the granddaughter of the Yuan family, not a direct line. Even if the Yuan family really committed any crime, she can't be implicated. Why did it turn to the Queen's mouth and it seemed to be a certainty?
The Queen spoke so categorically, could it be that she knew the truth a long time ago, or... each and every one of these things is actually inextricably linked to you, Queen?"
Ming Xingjian was always gentle and courteous in his dealings with others, but it was rare that he would be like this at this moment, where he would just slap someone without any courtesy, without leaving any dignity to the other party.
Queen Pei set up this trap just to kill Yan Mingzhu. With such viciousness, why should she save face anymore?
As soon as these words came out, Queen Pei's expression changed instantly. Aunt Lu stepped forward and scolded: "Ming Xingjian, you are so brave, you dare to be disrespectful to the Queen!"
"Wei Chen doesn't dare. Wei Chen just has some doubts in his heart, so he asked the Queen the question. If the Queen insists on misinterpreting Wei Chen's meaning, then Wei Chen will not be able to argue even if he has a hundred mouths."
Grandma Lu was very angry, but she did not dare to attack Ming Xingjian directly like she was as tyrannical with the guards just now.
Because the Ming Xing Jian does not represent him alone, but the entire Ming family, the first aristocratic family of Jozhao, the first female general in history, and the most outstanding hero who is recorded in the annals of history and ranks first in Lingyuan Pavilion.
His father, Mingtai, was a minister of the first rank and was highly valued by Emperor Zhao. Even the Pei family, which had a queen, did not dare to directly confront the Ming family.
Although Empress Pei was strong, she was not a fool. She would only rush forward with brute force. When this plan didn't work, she immediately changed her mind.
"Qin'er, I remember that He'er was imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison for some time, right?"
Pei Duqin was stunned and couldn't react for a moment, so he answered: "Yes, aunt."
"After all, I watched He'er grow up. Although she was confused and did something wrong for a while, she is still my niece. As my aunt, I should come and see her.
See if she knows how to repent."
After saying that, Queen Pei gave Aunt Lu a look and said, "Please step aside. I am here today just to visit He'er. I can just go in and have a look."
