"Then check it out!" Xiao Che's voice was not loud, but it made everyone's heart tremble.
I'm afraid there will be another storm in this palace, and I don't know how many people will be swept away.
Xiao Yizheng patted Qingxi's hand gently, stood up and said, "There is no need to make a big show of it. If I am not wrong, my princess must be smelling this fragrance."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Didn't you act domineeringly to protect your wife just now? Why are you taking the initiative to take charge of things now?
Qingxi's face was relatively calm, but Yueying behind her felt her heart almost beat out of her chest.
Xiao Zhe, who was sitting in the seat, still looked calm.
The corners of Xiao Yizheng's lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled: "If this deliberate plan is directed at my Prince Heng's Mansion, then don't bother involving other people."
"His Royal Highness Heng Wang is so eloquent. How come it is possible that the evidence is solid, but it turns out to be framed by others? This way of saying retreat is really clever!" Concubine Nian's cold voice was full of tension.
momentum.
Xiao Yizheng glanced at her sideways and said coldly: "Have I retreated?" He chuckled. Then he turned to Xiao Che and said respectfully: "Father, this matter is serious and must be investigated thoroughly. Since our Prince Heng Mansion
If you are involved in this, you must not cover it up. I will take the princess back to the house and be banned from the house. The whole house will be consulted by the father.
Ask for investigation. As long as this matter remains unclear, and if our Prince Heng’s Palace is not cleared, I will not take a step out of Prince Heng’s Palace. Likewise, if those who slandered our Palace, Prince Heng, are not found out, I will not let it go."
After saying that, he turned around, looked at Qingxi with a faint smile, stretched out his hand, and said gently: "Aheng, let's go home."
Qingxi raised her eyes to look at him, and the soft light in his eyes seemed to ignite a warm fire, which warmed her heart. She stood up slowly, smiled lightly, and said crisply: "Your Highness wants innocence, and so do I.
If there is, there is, if there is not, there is not.
If possible, we will find out who framed the Crown Princess. If not, we will also find out who is plotting to murder the Crown Princess. Everything must be clear and clear." She turned around and ordered the imperial doctor: "I will go to the inner hall to change clothes.
Examination by the imperial physician."
Xiao Yizheng frowned and slowly put down his hand without stopping her.
Xiao Che nodded.
Yueying and the other two female officers followed Qingxi and got up and went to the back hall.
At this time, Crown Prince Xiao Yihe trotted into the palace in a hurry. He was just about to salute when he was stopped by Xiao Zhe: "Okay, let's go see the Crown Princess first. Your mother is there."
So, he strode towards the back hall.
Everyone else in the main hall felt that time passed very slowly bit by bit. It seemed like a long time passed before Qingxi came out of the inner hall. She had already changed her clothes.
The imperial doctor came forward and replied: "Your Majesty, after inspection by ministers and others, the clothes on the princess's body are indeed stained with the scent of red silk and grass."
Everyone's expressions darkened, but Xiao Zhe and Xiao Yizheng remained calm, as if they had expected it. Although Qingxi was mentally prepared, she still felt ups and downs after hearing the confirmation.
"But the amount of red silk grass fragrance on the princess's clothes is not very large." The imperial doctor added.
Qingxi frowned momentarily.
"So?" Xiao Che asked.
"The amount of fragrance on the clothes on the princess and the clothes on the princess seems to be the same. Maybe they are both contaminated from another place." The imperial doctor considered.
Xiao Yizheng's eyes flashed, and doubts appeared for a moment.
"Where?" Xiao Che's tone became obviously majestic.
The imperial doctor's throat moved, but he still said seriously: "If I am not mistaken, maybe it is the maid next to the princess. The scent of red silk grass on her body is quite strong."
Qingxi immediately turned around and looked at Yueying, who had a look of panic on her face.
She knelt down with a plop, shaking her head desperately, too anxious to form a complete sentence.
Zhao Xin, who was standing at the door of the palace, quickly focused his eyes and looked at her worriedly.
Qingxi's eyes flashed with anger and determination. She stepped forward to protect Yueying behind her and said loudly: "Father, Yueying is my maid. She and I are inseparable. If you involve her, you involve me.
Among them, I will accompany her in any cross-examination and investigation."
Xiao Yizheng, who was standing not far away, looked at her seriously.
But Qingxi ignored the obstruction in his eyes and continued sonorously: "Although I am stupid, I still know that if I do anything wrong, I need to think of a way out and pick myself clean. If the scent of red silk grass is like this
It can be easily contaminated, so
Then I won't be stupid enough to let myself or my personal maid do it, firstly. Secondly, according to the imperial doctor, red silk grass itself cannot have any effect, and it needs to be paired with the purple sweetness in the dishes to cause miscarriage. Then
How can I bribe the palace?
Royal Chef? What kind of careful and careful plan does this need to be? How could I make Concubine Nian suspect me from the beginning? I haven't left Prince Heng's Mansion for many days. It's very easy to find out who comes in and out of the Prince's Mansion. Third,
Motive! Why should I harm Tai?
The son in the concubine's womb?" She said, looking sharply towards Concubine Nian: "Concubine Nian, could you please tell me? You have been targeting me from the beginning, as if you are very sure that I have nothing to do with it.
,Then what is your reason?”
Concubine Nian's seemingly calm face still twitched slightly, but she did not speak.
Everyone in the palace knew very well that if there was the most critical reason, it was that King Heng and the Crown Prince were competing for power, but no one dared to say this reason. Moreover, it was not convincing to say so. Because
The Crown Prince has a deep relationship with King Heng, and King Heng has no intention of getting involved in court matters before. He is a wealthy and leisure king who likes to travel around. However, this time he ran an errand in the southwest beautifully. Could it be that this has inspired him? This is more interesting.
It's a guess that no one can say out loud.
Qingxi hummed softly: "Can't you tell me?" She raised her head higher, as if she was full of pride, and continued: "Father, my wife must seek justice for what happened today."
Xiao Che narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "You are even more angry now than just now. Why, you are not worried that you are involved in it, but you are not calm about the maid being involved?"
Qingxi lifted her skirt and knelt down: "Anyone who doubts me doubts me, and hurting the Crown Princess and my maids is hurting me."
Xiao Yizheng looked at her stubborn back, with complicated emotions welling up in his heart, but he had no time to sort it out. He stepped forward, stood beside her, and said: "Father, I just came back from the southwest. I have been working non-stop all the way. I am really tired.
sons and ministers
I just said that Prince Heng’s Mansion will investigate this matter to the end. Now, I want to go back to the Mansion to rest. I will take everyone in the Mansion to a lockdown, and I hope my father will allow it.” After saying that, he stretched out his hand in front of Qingxi again.
.
Qingxi raised her head and looked at him, hesitating whether to hand it over, after all, Xiao Zhe, who was sitting in the seat, had not yet spoken.
The emperor stared at the two of them. Before he could express anything, Xiao Yihe's voice sounded first: "Father, I believe that this matter was not done by anyone in the sixth brother's house."
Xiao Yizheng turned sideways slightly and looked at Xiao Yihe who was supporting the queen.
Xiao Yihe also glanced at him and nodded kindly.
The empress walked slowly to the emperor and said slowly: "The princess is fine now, she just needs to rest for a while." After saying that, she looked at Qingxi who was still kneeling in the middle of the hall and said: "The princess is fine. She said she would never be Princess Heng."
Qingxi looked up at the queen, her eyes moist. Shen Tong's trust was too important to her, more important than the slander and slander of millions of people.
The queen smiled kindly at her.
Xiao Yizheng stretched out his hand in front of Qingxi's eyes and never took it back. At this time, he stepped forward and handed it to him, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "Aren't you going to get up? Do you want your father, the Queen, and the Queen to ask you to get up?"
Qingxi blinked and quickly stretched out his hand. Xiao Yizheng grasped her hand tightly, pulled her to her feet, pulled her tightly to his side, and said to Xiao Yihe: "Third brother, there will definitely be someone involved in this matter." explain."
Xiao Yihe patted him on the shoulder: "I didn't expect that you would be like this just after you returned to Beijing."
Xiao Che stood up and said: "Liu Lang, take your wife back to the house. You are not allowed to leave the house until this matter is investigated."
Xiao Yizheng accepted the order and said yes, then turned around and left with Qingxi in hand.
Qingxi quickly looked at Yueying, who was still kneeling there, and heard Xiao Yizheng's instructions: "Yueying, why don't you come over and wait for the princess to return home."
Yueying stood up hurriedly, dragging her weak legs to Qingxi's side.
Seeing that the emperor did not stop her, Concubine Nian spoke again: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has approved Princess Heng's return to the palace, but the princess's maid is the biggest suspect anyway, and she should be under immediate custody and interrogation. How can we let her go?" Going back home?"
Xiao Yizheng felt Qingxi's fingers trembling slightly. Before the emperor could speak, he stared at Concubine Nian and said: "Concubine Nian, you may have not listened to what I said just now. What I said is, I want to take away the princess from my mansion. People. Today, as many people as come to my house, I will take as many people back to my house at this moment. I am very protective of my shortcomings, but also very fair. Since the imperial doctor said that Yueying has a strong scent of red silk grass, I believe The imperial doctor will definitely find out where this fragrance comes from. But I want to take him away." He looked at Xiao Yihe and said with a smile: "I wonder if Third Brother has any opinions?"
Xiao Yihe shook his head: "Even if my father approved it, how can I have any opinions? I just said that I believe this matter has nothing to do with the sixth brother."
Xiao Che frowned and thought to himself, was he sure that this kid could take anyone away? He was a little confused, but he still waved his hand: "Go back and ground yourself!"
Xiao Yizheng squeezed Qingxi's hand gently and said softly: "Let's go home." Then he said to Zhao Xin: "Go and help Yueying, she is also scared."
After receiving the order, Xin Zhao quickly stepped forward to help Yue Ying, but Yue Ying refused: "It's okay, I can go." So he followed her closely.
The four of them walked out of the hall gracefully, one after the other.
Xiao Yizheng held Qingxi's hand all the way. The two of them walked on the palace road, and neither of them spoke.
The moonlight pours down, illuminating the road in front of you and illuminating the shadow behind you.
Qingxi felt extremely at peace in her heart. Even if the road ahead was not illuminated by palace lanterns, she felt unafraid because there was light in front of her and shadows behind her.
