Xiao Lingyue never expected that just a visit to the palace would bring him jail time.
During the most difficult period of her stay in Nanyan, she was never imprisoned in a prison.
Now he is going to jail in Beiqin...
Moreover, it was Zhan Beihan who took the initiative to put her in jail!
Xiao Lingyue almost laughed angrily.
However, in the Qianqing Palace, in front of Emperor Zhaoming and so many courtiers, she had nowhere to vent her pent-up anger, so she could only try to find a way to explain.
"Your Majesty, I..." Xiao Lingyue was about to speak.
"Shen Wan, I have issued an order." Emperor Zhaoming interrupted her majestically, "Do you want to resist the order?"
Xiao Lingyue: "..."
Going to jail is only temporary, but resisting the order means death.
Of course she knows this.
But...if she is thrown into the sky prison, what should Beibei do?
Do you also have to go to heaven?
Beibei's body simply cannot bear the harsh environment of Tianlao, he will get sick!
Xiao Lingyue's eyes sank, her thoughts flashed quickly, and she said: "Of course I dare not disobey His Majesty's will. I don't want to defend myself, I just want to ask for His Majesty's grace."
"You haven't cleared yourself of any suspicion, yet you still dare to ask me for grace?"
Emperor Zhaoming looked at her with a smile but not a smile: "Tell me and listen."
Xiao Lingyue took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty suspects that I have something to do with witchcraft and wants to send me to a prison to await trial. I have nothing to say! But my son Beibei is innocent. He has always been in poor health. The prison environment is too harsh for him, so I beg your Majesty to show mercy!"
Emperor Zhaoming suddenly realized: "It turns out it's for your son."
Zhan Beihan suddenly said: "Father, please leave this to my son."
Xiao Lingyue's heart froze and she suddenly turned to look at him.
Emperor Zhaoming asked: "How do you plan to deal with it?"
Zhan Beihan seemed not to notice the cold look in Xiao Lingyue's eyes and said coldly: "No matter what Shen Wan did, he is an innocent child and I will not embarrass a five-year-old child, so I temporarily placed him in Prince Yi's Mansion. We will make a decision after the truth of the case is found out."
He wants to send Beibei to Prince Yi's Mansion? Is he under house arrest, or does it mean something else?
Xiao Lingyue was suspicious for a moment.
Emperor Zhaoming had no objection to this. After all, the child was only five years old. Even if "Shen Wan" was really related to the witchcraft case, the probability of her son being involved was not high.
"Just do as you say!" Emperor Zhaoming said solemnly: "Shen Wan and other relevant people will be thrown into the prison, Cui Li, and Zhao Chengwei."
The two people immediately stepped forward, bowed their heads and held hands: "I'm here!"
"You two, together with the Minister of Dali Temple, will fully assist King Yi in thoroughly investigating this case. Give me an explanation within ten days!"
"I obey the decree!" The two of them agreed at the same time, but they were complaining in their hearts.
Ten days are ten days.
Ten days to investigate a major witchcraft case and find the murderer behind it.
This difficulty is not too high.
Fortunately, the two of them are just assistants. The main person in charge of this case is His Highness King Yi, so there must be a way...
Xiao Lingyue didn't speak anymore.
Seeing that the situation is a foregone conclusion, there is no point in holding back your anger.
Her mood calmed down instead. At least Beibei didn't have to follow her to the prison.
Qing Luo and Meng Wenhao were implicated by her. Just because they were with her, they were included in the relevant group of people and naturally couldn't escape.
"I'm tired, you go down." Emperor Zhaoming rubbed his brows tiredly.
The important ministers resigned wisely. This chapter has been completed!
