260. Chapter 260 Harm others instead of harming oneself [05]
Since Changsun Xian secretly had a crush on Xiao Xian, she naturally wanted to respect Princess Yan. She immediately handed her over and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he ran to Princess Yan and sat down next to her, acting like a little daughter acting coquettishly.
Princess Yan then asked her what happened in the first place and why the jade pendant was missing, and asked her again for the details.
Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth secretly, feeling that Princess Yan seemed to be standing up for Shen Mingzhu.
Everyone knows that Princess Yan is generous and kind, and it is possible that she cannot bear to see her old friend's daughter suffer. However, in this case, if she comes forward, it will probably damage the reputation of Prince Yan's palace.
Without Chang Sunxian causing trouble, the Empress spoke directly.
"Shen Mingzhu, you might as well say it straight."
Shen Mingzhu clearly said that someone framed her, so who framed her?
Everyone listened to the queen's intention, and the smart ones picked up on it, and immediately thought carefully, if Shen Mingzhu was framed, it would be nothing more than Mrs. Liu and her daughter.
There is no conflict between other people and Shen Mingzhu.
Shen Mingzhu said loudly: "Empress, I have never touched that jade pendant. Although it is in my sleeve, I can still prove my innocence by myself."
The queen and others were immediately surprised and asked her how to prove it.
Mrs. Liu glared at her viciously and dreamed about it. Could it be that the jade pendant could speak for itself and tell her that Shen Mingzhu was innocent?
Shen Mingzhu was not nervous at all, she said: "The Queen and the Queen, our ministers, we, Da Qin Zhi, have learned a lot of interesting things. Da Qin Zhi says that the Crown Prince of Yan is smart and manages the army strictly. If someone commits adultery and commits crimes, they will definitely be investigated.
The truth is clear, rewards and punishments are clear, and there are no mistakes. Therefore, I was thinking if I could ask Prince Yan, who is fair, strict, and unparalleled in intelligence, to try this case and clear my daughter's name."
As soon as she finished speaking, boos broke out everywhere.
Xiao Xian's trial case is a military matter. Most of it involves setting up troops to disturb the people, living in fear of death, or even treason and surrendering to the enemy. How could there be such a thing as stealing a jade pendant?
The queen glanced at Princess Yan.
Princess Yan smiled and said: "I didn't know there was such a strange thing, and I wanted to give it a try."
Everyone was puzzled. They didn't know why Princess Yan wanted her son to come. If she couldn't tell, wouldn't she be making a fool of herself?
Even if it is judged, what good will it do?
With a great reputation, everything is as it should be. No one will praise you, but you will become enemies.
The queen sent someone to invite Xiao Xian, but she kept the eldest prince in the dark and refused to allow him to come.
She sent someone to summon him before, but he said that his father had summoned him for something and left first. In fact, she knew that was not the case at all.
It's just that he was dissatisfied with Shen Mingzhu and wanted to break off the engagement many times.
Soon, Xiao Xian was ordered to come. He had already changed into a court uniform, a python robe and a jade belt, and a magnificent appearance. He was indescribably handsome and elegant.
Xiao Wen and others could not come without being summoned. After all, there were so many wealthy ladies and wealthy ladies here, so they still hid in the pavilion and watched with clairvoyance.
He stepped forward, without squinting his eyes, and saluted the Queen and others, "My lord, Xiao Xian, pays homage to the Queen."
The queen waved her hand and told him what was happening. Then she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, can you do it?"
Xiao Xian couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shen Mingzhu, and met her indifferent and bright eyes, which were like autumn water, full of light, indescribably beautiful and graceful.
She is always like that, calm and calm, even when facing a powerful enemy, she stares with a pair of watery eyes, magnanimous and calm.
