Chapter 276
Chu Yunning looked at Princess Mighty calmly, with that deathly silence in her eyes.
"Princess Xiao, should I give you an explanation?"
Princess Mighty was panicked. She took two steps back and hugged Prince Xiao tightly. She squeezed out two tears and spoke in a trembling tone: "Chu Yunning is deliberately trying to embarrass me. She must have threatened Duke Zhen Guo in advance. I am worried that Duke Zhen Guo will continue to say
What words are not good for you, so I killed the Duke of Zhenguo."
Prince Xiao reached out and patted the back of Princess Mighty's hand, and comforted her: "I am here to protect you, so don't worry."
"Yes." Princess Mighty nodded obediently.
Seeing the behavior of the two people, Chu Yunning felt a sense of nausea, and asked: "Can Prince Xiao give me a reasonable explanation?"
"Don't take the words of Duke Zhen Guo lightly. He is deliberately trying to sow discord between the royal family. His intentions are to be punished." At this moment, King Xiao had completely denied what Duke Zhen Guo said before. Anyway, there was no proof, so he took out another book from his arms.
Token: "The imperial court has handed over the Zhenguo Bus to my disposal. Even if I kill you, I will still be acting on orders!"
Chu Yunning chuckled, this was already showing his rogue nature to the fullest.
"Chu Shanggong, this matter has nothing to do with you. You are not qualified to bring Duke Zhen to Caishikou for interrogation."
King Xiao began to shift all the responsibilities to Chu Yunning again, accusing her of acting rashly.
"Then what do you mean, Your Majesty, did you let Duke Zhen Guo go on purpose to lure the snake out of its hole?" Chu Yunning was tired of hearing this. This man was too shameless.
King Xiao nodded in response; "Chu Yunning, it was you who ruined the plan, and you should bear the blame!"
Hearing this, Chu Yunning couldn't help laughing. She was too lazy to explain anything to the two of them, so she turned to Magistrate Li and said, "Take down Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao."
Magistrate Li was slightly stunned, his eyes wandering around the two people at a loss.
"Chu Yunning, you are crazy. I am a first-class prince with a distinguished status. What qualifications do you have to arrest me?" King Xiao looked at Chu Yunning as if he was watching a joke. What mistake did he make?
Why catch yourself?
Chu Yunning closed her eyes and did not explain.
Magistrate Li only thought for a moment before deciding to take action. With an order, countless guards swarmed forward.
King Xiao took two steps back and protected Princess Mighty in his arms. In order to deal with Chu Yunning this time, he specially brought more guards. At this moment, the two sides were confronting each other, which frightened the people on the side and kept going.
They retreated and fled in all directions.
"Chu Yunning, how dare you do the following!" King Xiao shouted angrily.
Listening to Prince Xiao's shouting, Chu Yunning rubbed her ears and opened her eyes slowly: "Noisy!"
Hearing this, Prince Xiao's face turned pale. He actually thought he was noisy?
Following Chu Yunning's order, the two parties soon entered into a melee. With the addition of the secret guards, it was clear who won and who lost.
Countless guards were lying on the ground, holding their wounds and wailing. Magistrate Li injured several guards, but none of the secret guards were damaged.
In half an hour, Prince Xiao had already been defeated. Prince Xiao clutched the discomfort in his heart and pulled Princess Mighty behind him: "Everything was my idea. Don't blame the princess."
"Ha!" Chu Yunning seemed to have heard some big joke. The ruthless King Xiao would actually protect a woman, and his protection for the mighty princess even surpassed that of Ye Yan'er.
As soon as Chu Yunning stretched out her hand, the secret guard immediately handed over a sharp sword. She gradually approached the two of them with the sword in one hand and slowly raised it.
"Chu Yunning, don't you care about Chu'er? If Prince Xiao makes the slightest mistake, Chu'er will not be able to survive." Princess Mighty's face turned pale and she watched the opponent approaching with vigilance.
She was sure that Chu Yunning didn't dare to take action.
"It's rare for me to be soft-hearted and be a good person in my life, but you deceived me." Chu Yunning's heart was still aching, and he almost died from such a clumsy trick. It was really ridiculous.
From the beginning to the end, she never thought about dealing with Xi'er and Princess Weiwu. She wanted revenge or resentment. She just scared King Xiao before.
"You were the one who dealt with me first!" Princess Mighty said angrily: "If you didn't scare me with the child, how could I stab you? If you are angry, just come at me."
The two faced off for a while.
The evening breeze blew through her hair, revealing a clean and fair face that was a little weak, and her delicate eyebrows were stained with a touch of disgust.
But she was not in a hurry to take action, she was still waiting for someone.
Patiently and silently.
"Chu Yunning?" Princess Mighty shouted again. The calmer the other party was, the more unsure she felt.
It's better to give her a quick blow.
Finally, the sound of horse hooves came to my ears, as well as the neat footsteps of guards, galloping towards me from far away.
Everyone looked along and saw that the leader was a man with mottled temples, wearing silver armor and holding a sword in his hand. He was riding a horse menacingly, followed by countless guards in silver armor.
Princess Mighty's eyes lit up when she saw the person coming, as if she had seen the great savior, and she hurriedly shouted: "Grandpa!"
The person who came was none other than the old prince.
She is also the biggest supporter of Princess Mighty. When Chu Yunning was recovering from his injuries, he sent someone to deliver a message to the old prince, calculating that the time would definitely arrive today.
Therefore, she would not have killed Princess Mighty before the old prince came.
The old prince tightened the reins and turned over to dismount. His face could not hide the vicissitudes of life and fatigue, as well as the deep concern and worry deep in his eyes.
"Grandfather!" Princess Mighty rushed forward, her tears began to fall like broken beads, she threw herself into the arms of the old prince and began to cry.
The old prince pulled Princess Mighty away with an angry expression, and said angrily: "I'll make amends to Chu Shang Palace!"
This was the old prince's first sentence.
Princess Mighty was stunned and couldn't believe her ears. Her grandfather actually asked her to apologize?
"You have lost your parents since you were a child, and I am busy with military affairs every day. I have really neglected your teachings. I didn't want you to be so reckless after getting married. You have disappointed me so much!" The old prince kicked out sadly!
Kicked the mighty princess on the knee, forcing her to kneel down: "Kowtow to Chu Shanggong to apologize!"
Chu Yunning narrowed her eyes and glanced at the old prince. He used retreat to advance as soon as he came up. He was a man of means.
Princess Mighty held her breath in her heart. Although she had no parents since she was a child, her status and treatment were not as good as those of a princess. The late emperor and Xiao Jingheng both missed her parents who died in battle, so they treated her with great favor, even if she made any mistakes.
, they all turned a blind eye, and even the Queen Mother doted on her.
So much so that Princess Mighty has been fearless since she was a child. This was also the biggest reason why the Queen Mother chose Princess Mighty as her daughter-in-law.
Can suppress King Xiao.
"Chu Shanggong, Princess Xiao is reckless and bumped into you. If you are angry, you will be beaten or punished." The old prince also handed a whip in his hand to Chu Yunning, as if you could hit her casually.
Chu Yunning smiled: "Then what reason does the old prince think I should use to teach Princess Xiao a lesson? Is it because I killed the Duke of Zhenguo because I was arrogant, or is it because I slandered the emperor and was sorry for Prince Xiao, causing the emperor's reputation to be damaged?"
Either of the two above, it was a serious crime for Princess Mighty, except for the stabbing of Chu Yunning, she did not mention it.
When the old prince heard this, his cloudy eyes flashed with sparkle and sharpness, and disappeared in an instant. He smiled: "You can't believe what Duke Zhen Guo said. He goes back on his word and colludes with Xiao Jingyan. It is irrefutable evidence, so
Death is not a pity."
As for slandering Xiao Jingheng's reputation, the old prince glanced at King Xiao, and King Xiao immediately said: "It was the Duke of Zhen who said that Beibei was the heir of the emperor's brother, so the emperor's brother wanted to pass the position to Beibei, and everyone said the same thing.
, someone spread the wrong message, you can’t blame the princess.”
Anyway, there was no proof, so the two of them pushed the matter away completely.
