After Huo Xi finished speaking, Mrs. Tai hesitated.
This is not what poisoning someone should be like. Moreover...she doesn't think Huo Xi and Huo Nian, the siblings, would plot to harm Wen Bi.
Although the Wu family screamed fiercely, it was strongly proved that they attacked Wen Bi to avenge their mother.
While Mrs. Tai hesitated, Huo Xi had already sent someone to take Huo Nian, and winked at Zhufeng and others.
Wu thought she had done it flawlessly and even erased the traces first, but it had been done before, otherwise how could there be a word called Tianwang Huihui.
Even if Wu didn't ask the prince to help with the decision today, she would still be angry and urge Wu to ask the prince to decide the case.
Wu just played into her heart.
Just as Wu wanted to get rid of her and Nian'er, she also wanted to push Wu into the mud.
Zhang and Zhang Fu all came to persuade him. Huo Xi looked at them and said, "Don't you want my second uncle and my third uncle to save my father? My father is getting thinner and thinner day by day, and all the organs in his body will eventually fail until he is unable to save his life."
Zhang? Zhang Fu was speechless and looked at Huo Xi intently.
"I want to save my father."
Huo Xi's eyes were firm, which touched the two brothers.
Maybe she was too calm, or maybe she understood Huo Xi's eyes. The two brothers looked at each other and went to persuade the madam instead.
With the help of the tribesmen and the Tai Madam’s brothers, the Tai Madam finally decided to ask the Prince to help with the decision.
The prince came soon, bringing with him a sad-looking Zhang Biyao.
After seeing the British Princess, I comforted the crying British Princess.
The madam was still in a dilemma and only chatted with the prince, but Wu could not wait any longer and had already accused Huo Xi and Huo Nian of all kinds of abnormalities...
When Emperor Yongkang, who was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study, heard the news, he paused and put the memorial away, "Let's go and take a look too."
I don’t know whether the east wind will overwhelm the west wind, or whether the west wind will overwhelm the east wind.
Mu Yan received the instructions and escorted Emperor Yongkang quietly out of the palace with a group of guards in brocade.
"...the two children misunderstood me and said that I poisoned their mother, but they couldn't produce any evidence. They insisted on asking me to be punished before the Duke took them back to the house. The Duke did not listen to them.
They even had a grudge against the Duke, and even encouraged him to ground me... Ever since they returned home, I have been grounded in the courtyard, saying that I poisoned the Duke. This is really a huge injustice.
…”
Mrs. Wu took the handkerchief and wiped her tears frequently.
"It's so pitiful that the Duke of Guo was granted the title of heir apparent, but I didn't say a word. I didn't leave the door and never stepped forward. How could the relationship between me and the Duke of Guo as husband and wife for more than ten years hurt him? And it doesn't matter who is the heir apparent.
, I am the wife of the Duke of Guo, why should I harm the Duke of Guo?"
The main hall in the front yard of the Duke's Mansion was full of people.
After hearing Wu's words, they all nodded, yes, Wu was already grounded, how could he poison the Duke of the country?
Moreover, the crown prince's title has been determined, so there is no benefit to her poisoning the Duke.
Now, it is the prince and the eldest lady who will benefit greatly after the fall of the Duke.
Seeing that everyone was siding with her, Wu became very upset and couldn't stop crying.
"I have given birth to a son and a daughter. Yao'er entered the East Palace and fell into a nest of good fortune. In the future, my son Zhang Jie will rely on this sister. Will his future be less? Why should I bother to harm the Duke?
!What benefit do I get from letting the crown prince ascend the throne in advance? I am a Duke, and my stepson is a Duke. Can this be the same?"
"I don't know who killed the Duke. I just want His Royal Highness to help solve the case, find the murderer as soon as possible, and get the antidote to relieve the suffering of the Duke. I have such a humble wish,
I was wronged to be accused of having ulterior motives by others. I knew it was not easy to raise the children of my predecessors, but I didn’t expect it to be so difficult..."
Mrs. Wu cried sincerely, and all the women in the clan wiped her tears.
Xiao Wu was touched by her words.
She is also raising the children of her predecessors, and it is really not easy to know who raises them. She is good to them, and she is said to be flattering, but she is not good to them, and she is said to be poisonous, and even men do not care about her.
Little Wu secretly wiped away her tears.
Zhang Biyao and Zhang Jie have already cried with Wu.
Since Huo Xi and Huo Nian came back, their mother has been banned. She is a majestic lady of the country, and even the servants can look at her. It is really difficult for her mother, and she has suffered so many grievances.
"Your Highness, you have to make the decision for my mother. No matter who is the murderer, it cannot be my mother. My mother's life will be very different if my father is alive and gone. How could she do such a thing.
"
The prince was so moved by her mother and son, he helped Zhang Biyao up and comforted her: "Don't worry, I won't wrong any good person."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The prince sat down, glanced at the angry Huo Nian, and looked at his legs: "Is the prince's leg injury better?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My leg will be healed soon. Please make it clear, Your Highness, that although my sister and I want to avenge our mother, we will never assassinate our biological father. What is the difference between that and animals!"
The prince looked at him. This child was not very good at hiding his emotions. He was so angry that he clenched his fists. The prince believed that he would not behave like a beast.
Then he looked at Huo Xi, who was extremely calm.
Not sure anymore.
When a woman reaches marriageable age and marries into her husband's family, how much family can she keep in mind?
What's more, I heard that her mother died in front of her, so it is not impossible to avenge her mother and help her younger brother to rise to power.
"What did the eldest lady say?"
"Go back to Your Highness..."
Huo Xi's face was pale, "Thank you for taking the time to come to the house today, Your Highness. If Your Highness hadn't come, I would have gone to beat the drum."
"What?"
Not only the prince, but everyone in the hall was shocked. Huo Xi was going to beat the Dengwen drum?
Everyone was surprised and looked at Huo Xi.
"Since the establishment of the Dengwen Drum in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it has been set up for people who have no way to redress their grievances, and it has been passed down to this day. Our dynasty has complete laws, and no one has ever beaten the Dengwen Drum. Although Emperor Taizu retained the Dengwen Drum, his ministers
The woman has never thought of knocking it."
"First, I was afraid that I would not be able to survive the Thirty Court War, and secondly, I felt that the family scandal should not be made public. It has not been easy for the Zhang family to get to where they are today. It took two generations of my grandfather and father to work hard before they were able to gain a foothold in the capital. Although I am a woman,
I can't bear to destroy the hard work of my predecessors."
The elders and elders of the Zhang clan present all showed expressions of relief.
Who said children who are not raised at home cannot be well-raised? She also has Zhang's blood flowing in her body. Her eyes looking at Huo Xi were a little gentler.
"But you..."
The prince was a little confused. Didn't he just say that he wanted to beat the drum? Why couldn't he think of it for the sake of his family?
"Yes. I didn't have this idea before, but someone took action against my father."
"Since my father went to the battlefield with his grandfather at the age of twelve, he has made great military exploits for the David Dynasty and has been through life and death several times. Now, someone is taking action against him and wants to destroy the court's capable ministers and generals. This is no longer something that the Zhang family can do.
It’s up to you to decide. Therefore, if Your Highness cannot come in person today, your servants will have to go and beat the drum tomorrow.”
