Ever since Su Zhen appeared, Shang Yujie had been sizing her up, but no one could sense from him the overwhelming anger he felt when he heard that Su Zhen had been kidnapped.
The smile in Shang Yu frame's eyes made Yu Wude feel cold for no reason.
Gu Hongrong drank calmly, his eyes always calm.
From Gu Yunshu's perspective, he could only see Su Zhen's back, but it was impossible to know whether she was injured.
"Have you said enough?"
A clear voice came from outside Shao Hua Hall, and then Shang Jingyao's figure appeared in front of everyone.
"Eh? Isn't that Princess Jingyao?" someone whispered.
"See Your Highness the Princess!"
Everyone quickly stood up and saluted.
It has been three days since Shang Jingyao returned to the palace. During these three days, she has locked herself in Shuyue Palace and refused to take a step out. Not to mention turning a deaf ear to Shang Yujie's summons, even the queen and the prince avoided seeing her.
Su Zhen stood there and looked at her quietly. It had only been three days since they were separated, and Shang Jingyao's originally slightly round face had lost a lot of weight. His eyes didn't look like they were on the occasion of parting, and she learned from Su Zhen that she had lost all her 'relatives'.
After being sluggish and dull, it became extremely firm.
Shang Jingyao was dressed tonight. A heavy red palace dress made her graceful figure look gorgeous and charming. There were forbidden steps hanging from her waist, and several jade pendants of different shapes were strung together.
, but under Shang Jingyao’s light and steady steps, the crisp sound is in a suitable rhythm.
Three thousand blue silk threads are tied up in a gilt tasseled hair crown. Golden flowers are dotted between the eyebrows, stars are shining in a pair of beautiful eyes, and the delicate red lips are raised in a slight arc.
Shang Jingyao folded his hands in front of his lower abdomen, walked gracefully forward with a dignified manner.
When she passed by Su Zhen, she didn't look sideways. Facing the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground, she turned a blind eye.
When Shang Jingyao walked to the center of Shaohua Palace, she bowed her knees and saluted with a smile, "My sons and ministers are here to see my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen."
The queen looked at her, her eyes slightly moist. Even though she applied makeup, she could not hide her haggard look. I heard from the palace people that all the meals sent to Shuyue Palace in the past few days had been withdrawn intact.
"Good boy, get up quickly! Come, come to the Queen Mother."
Before Shang Jingyao stood up, he continued, "Father! Queen! Mother! I am here today because of the murder of Li Jieyu and the mute slave."
Ever since those courtiers wanted to kill Su Zhen and the common people were angry, Shang Yujie didn't say a word, but just let them make a fuss.
Now that everyone he wanted to see was here, he was naturally satisfied.
"Jing'er, everyone including you now says that the mute slave was killed by Su Zhen. He is here now. How do you want to try this case?"
Shang Jingyao raised her head and saw the guards in the palace pointing their knives at Su Zhen. She suddenly stood up, looked around at everyone in the palace, and asked in a cold voice, "Everyone here, do you think... Su Zhen is guilty?"
"
Shang Yici suddenly noticed that Shang Jingyao seemed different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different.
"Jing'er, you don't look good, why don't you go back to the dormitory to rest?"
"Brother King Qin, my sister just heard on the way to Shaohua Palace that you mentioned the murder of Li Jieyu and the mute slave first at the palace banquet."
"So what? I just want to help my father and mother to solve their problems."
"Oh? Fifth brother, whose troubles do you want to share? Whose troubles do you want to solve? Father, emperor and mother? I thought you were trying to hide it!"
"..."
There was silence in Shaohua Hall, so still that everyone seemed to only hear the sound of breathing.
Shang Jingyao usually behaved arrogantly and domineeringly in the palace, ignoring palace rules and bullying the palace people, but today they heard the thorniness in her words, and many people found her quite pleasing to the eye.
Shang Jingyao had a smile on his lips. He turned around and looked around with a sneer. He hated everyone present in his heart. If they hadn't advocated ending wars with war and fighting with war, why would those refugees have ended up like this!
"Aren't you quite capable of speaking before I came here? I asked you just now, but do you think Su Zhen is guilty? How come no one answered?"
As soon as Shang Jingyao finished speaking, someone jumped out.
"Princess, don't worry, we will help you catch the murderer and bring this evil man to justice!"
"Yes! We must not tolerate these despicable people!"
"Your Majesty, please order the execution of Su Zhen and Xiao Chuhong!"
"..."
Voices like this one after another, they seem to be completely immersed in self-righteous "justice", and their eyes are full of selfishness, paranoia, and violence.
Su Zhen and others... all looked like they were looking at fools.
"Are you guys going out and kicking your ass and banging your head? Hazel has no enmity against you. You didn't even bother to find out the truth from beginning to end! Is this fair to him? You are all still human beings.
?”
Tang Yinchen didn't understand that Su Zhen's existence affected too many people. It didn't matter whether she was guilty or not. They only needed an excuse, they just wanted Su Zhen to die.
"Tang Yinchen! Su Zhen committed murder and absconded! How dare you utter such arrogant words at the palace banquet! Protect him!" A young man who had always been at odds with Tang Yinchen came out to add fuel to the fire.
"Bah! You have to have some shame! The emperor is still here! You are so arrogant and want people to die. Do you even care about the Luo Qi Laws? What's more, you have no evidence.
Hazel is the one who killed this person! Not to mention, what is he trying to do?"
"God knows he was trying to make money and sex but failed, and instead he killed people."
"Shit!"
"Tang Yinchen! You are so presumptuous!"
"Okay! Stop arguing."
Shang Jingyao shouted and stopped Tang Yinchen in time.
Su Zhen crossed her arms across her chest, her long and wide sleeves hanging down in front of her body, and tapped her left arm repeatedly with her right index finger, looking at her deeply.
Shang Jingyao looked back and described a few words with the shape of his lips...
'I will save you!'
She turned around and faced Shang Yu, who was sitting on the high dragon chair, and said, "Father, I have found Li Jieyu's body and handed it over to the imperial doctor for verification. I came here specially tonight.
To clarify the truth."
"Oh? Where?"
After all, he was the person he used to sleep with, but there wasn't much sadness on Shang Yu's face.
Shang Jingyao clapped his hands, and immediately eight chamberlains came in carrying four wooden stretchers. The person at the front was wearing imperial doctor's uniform, and it was Pei Lixin, the imperial hospital's magistrate.
They put down the stretcher, bowed and silently pushed it aside.
Shang Jingyao stepped forward, raised his bare hands and lifted off the white cloth on the stretcher. Lying inside was Li Jieyu.
The people present craned their necks to get a closer look, but after seeing Li Jieyu whose body was well maintained, their pupils suddenly tightened.
A lady lowered her voice and asked the people around her, "Mrs. Wang, look, this seems to be really Li Jieyu. But she has been dead for some time, but she looks like she has fallen into a coma, which does not look like death at all."
Many days."
"Yes, this is really strange!" This chapter has been completed!
