Although there were dozens of people standing here, Qiao Yuning's words were completely silent.
That's a princess!
Even though what happened in the Changxing Marquis Mansion that day, most people knew that the Fifth Prince's faction had completely collapsed.
But she is still a princess on the outside.
The most important thing is...
In silence, the chief steward hurried over and said, "Sir, it's not good, the seventh prince is here."
One wave came after another, and everyone had not yet recovered from the shock of Qiao Yuyan killing the princess. The arrival of the Seventh Prince did not even make people react immediately.
Mrs. Wen quickly spoke and went to greet the Seventh Prince.
From a practical perspective, that is the next monarch.
Even though I knew that his appearance at this time was not a good thing, I still needed to be polite.
Maybe there were people who just wanted to watch the excitement, but after all, they were behind closed doors at home. To put it bluntly, if the sky fell, there would always be someone above to hold it up.
But things are different now. If the Seventh Prince comes, it is really possible that the family will be destroyed.
Everyone followed Old Mrs. Wen around and walked out cautiously. Wen Qiongyu took a deep look at Qiao Yuyan before helping Old Mrs. Wen to leave.
Unexpectedly, before he had even taken two steps, he saw the Seventh Prince approaching with a group of soldiers holding open fire.
If you want to say what the big families fear the most, there is nothing more than the entry of these hard-lined soldiers into their homes.
Looking through the history books, when faced with such a situation, the families of civil servants rarely failed in the end.
Old Mrs. Wen could not keep calm at this time. She had to hold the hands of the maid and her daughter-in-law to calmly salute the seventh prince.
Except for Wen Qiong and the fifth master Wen Qiongyu who hurried over, and Chen's husband the third master Wen Shooti, the others are basically housewives.
At this moment, seeing the swords shining brightly in the firelight had frightened many people.
Wen Qiongyu, who was in a high position, treated the seventh prince with the courtesy of a minister, "I don't know that His Highness is here at night, and I can't wait to welcome him from afar, but what's the important matter?"
When she met the Seventh Prince this time, Qiao Yuyan found that his aura was completely different.
The man she saw at the Daxiangguo Temple last time was noble, but not noble.
What's more, in order to show his filial piety to the Holy One, he starved himself until his bones were broken. When facing everyone, he obviously had no momentum.
But this time, he was dressed in the royal uniform of a prince, with a purple gold crown on his head, standing with his hands behind his hands, his brows stern, and he looked completely different from that time.
Hearing Wen Qiongyu's words, he didn't even ask her to stand up, but directly asked coldly, "I heard that the emperor's sister was wronged at the chief minister's house. Now the emperor's father is not in danger, and the mother is overly grieved.
Concubine Xian is also lingering on the bedside. She is busy taking care of state affairs, but she is very worried in her heart, so she has to come in person. "
Qiao Yuyan's eyelids twitched slightly. This seventh prince was really arrogant. He was just a prince, and he hadn't even been named a king yet. He actually called himself "lone", which was a word that could only be used by a prince!
Wen Qiong did not notice this, but he pretended not to have heard it, and quickly denied it, "I don't know where your highness heard such nonsense, but it is really..."
"Master Wen, there is no need to rush to deny it. Since Gu heard such rumors, he naturally has his own source of information." He glanced coldly at the people in the circle, and then sneered, "Actually, Gu heard about it
It’s not just about the grievance, I heard that someone wanted to murder Gu’s imperial sister, it’s so bold.”
As he spoke, he turned directly to the female relatives, and finally locked his eyes on Qiao Yuyan, "Sixth Mrs...."
As he spoke, he seemed to be looking Qiao Yuyan up and down, "Where did you come from, covered in blood and stains?"
Then he turned to Old Mrs. Wen, "I heard that the Wen family emphasizes filial piety, and on the fifteenth day of every month, the whole family reunites. It seems that today is the time for your family to have a reunion dinner? Then, why don't you see the lonely princess Jiahe?
?”
Sweat fell from Mrs. Wen's forehead, and she could only answer with all her strength, "Princess...Princess has not been feeling well these days and has been recuperating in her own hospital, so she has not..."
"Really?" Before Mrs. Wen could finish speaking, the seventh prince said with a touch of sarcasm, "So, where is the emperor sister now? I haven't seen her for a long time, and I just have something to say to her.
"
Old Mrs. Wen's face was ashen, and even Wen Qiongyu frowned. After a while, she reluctantly found an excuse, "Princess... I sent someone this morning to say that my body really couldn't hold on anymore, so I asked others to do nothing."
disturb."
"I didn't expect Mr. Wen to still take care of things in his son's room. He is really a good father."
The irony of these words was so explicit that Wen Qiong and Zhang Liandeng were instantly stabbed red.
There was a maid over there who couldn't hold on any longer, so her legs gave out and she fell to the ground.
The seventh prince glanced solemnly and suddenly raised his voice, "I will give you a quarter of an hour to bring the imperial sister to me immediately. Otherwise, the Wen family will see if you can bear the charge of hiding the royal princess."
I can afford it!”
There was no sound in the entire bamboo forest except for the wind blowing the bamboo leaves and the sound of people breathing aggravated by nervousness.
Everyone in the Wen family stared at the ground anxiously, waiting for the verdict of the person standing at the top.
Mrs. Wen finally spoke, but asked Mrs. Wen next to her to find someone, "Tell two people to persuade the princess to let her..."
Before he finished speaking, Wen Qiongyu knelt down and said, "I am guilty. The princess sneaked out of her house in disguise and entered this bamboo forest tonight for some unknown reason."
He paused and seemed to be considering his words, "I don't know what kind of villain I met, but... died here. I just found out that the cause of death of the princess... was being investigated. I didn't expect His Highness to come suddenly, and I was panicked for a moment.
That’s why I don’t have any real words to tell you.”
Mrs. Wen felt that she could hardly take a breath and her ears were ringing.
The princess was betrothed to his son. Now something happened to the princess, and his only son's future was ruined!
When she heard her husband tell the truth, she almost immediately pointed at Qiao Yuyan and said: "Your Highness Mingjian, the princess was killed by this Qiao girl, the murder weapon was her hairpin, and the blood on her body was also the princess's.
.
Our family has always treated the princess as if she were one of our own, and there has never been a single bad word. This time the princess was not feeling well, so I surrendered and sent many more people to take care of her. It was her..."
Mrs. Wen pointed at Qiao Yuyan with trembling fingers, "She had a personal grudge with the princess, so she sent her personal maid to lure the princess out and murder her here. If it weren't for the wild cats in the mansion, no one would have discovered that she was
