"Oh?" Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Qianyin, "Could it be that the third prince of Yelang Kingdom has an enemy?"
Yun Shang glanced around and saw that everyone had a pensive expression, as if they were all wondering who was stabbing Cangjue Qingsu and why.
No one spoke in the garden for a while, but at this moment, there was another voice outside, "Shang'er, the third prince was assassinated and injured, and everyone in the garden is also suspected. Why don't you ask all the ladies to move."
Hearing this, all the women had a look of worry on their faces. They must have never thought that they were just here to lay flowers, but they would encounter such a terrible thing. Yun Shang smiled reassuringly, "It doesn't matter, we were all here just now.
No one in the garden has the time to assassinate the third prince, it’s just a matter of routine, so you can rest assured.”
After hearing what Yun Shang said, I felt a little more at ease. I quickly stood up, put on my veil, and followed Yun Shang out of the garden.
As soon as they came out of the garden, they saw Prince Jing standing under a cherry tree. It was the season of cherry blossoms. The trees were full of flowers. When the wind blew, the cherry blossoms fell down gracefully and fell on Prince Jing's dark eyes.
On the hair. Prince Jing heard the footsteps and raised his eyes to look at Yun Shang and the others. His handsome face looked like a god under the cherry blossom trees. When he saw Yun Shang walking in the front, Prince Jing smiled slightly.
With a smile, his originally cold eyebrows softened a bit, leaving everyone stunned again.
"Shang'er..." Prince Jing said softly.
Yun Shang sighed, this evildoer must have done it on purpose. Yun Shang didn't have to look back to know the expression of the woman behind him. She must have a rosy face and bright eyes.
"Uncle Huang just said that the third prince was injured in an assassination? Was the injury serious? Who was the person who stabbed the third prince?" Yun Shang walked up to Prince Jing and asked in a low voice.
Prince Jing raised his eyebrows and looked back at Yun Shang. His eyes clearly said, "Don't you deserve to know?"
Yun Shang turned around and glanced at the people behind her. Her meaning was clear. She knew it, but the group of people behind her didn't know it at all.
"The third prince was injured, and the injury was not serious. The dagger penetrated his abdomen and was quite deep. However, the imperial doctor said that his life should not be in danger. The murderer was caught on the spot, but the emperor said that he was afraid of an accomplice, so he let him
Everyone, come over." Prince Jing whispered.
Although Yun Shang knew that Cang Jue Qingsu was injured, she didn't know how badly he was injured. The injury was not serious, but it was what she wanted.
Yun Shang nodded slightly, "Then let's go there, don't keep father waiting."
Prince Jing led everyone to a courtyard in the backyard. This courtyard... Yun Shang squinted her eyes. It was such a good place. This was clearly Huajing's courtyard. Although it was just a palace, basically, in the palace
The masters all have their own courtyard for resting. This courtyard is called Jinglan Garden, which belongs to Hua Jing.
Emperor Ning and all the ministers were in the courtyard. Emperor Ning was sitting in the middle, the ministers were on both sides, and there were two people kneeling in the middle.
"Shang'er is here? Something like this happened today. You are all female relatives, are you scared?" Emperor Ning raised his eyes and looked at Yun Shang and the women behind him, and said calmly.
Yun Shang shook her head, "I was resting in the garden with the ladies just now. I just heard screams. I thought something might have happened, so I asked the emperor to surround the garden so as not to disturb everyone.
Miss, it wasn’t until the emperor’s uncle arrived that we came out together and came this way.”
Emperor Ning nodded, "They are all spoiled guests. Zheng Qi, go and get some chairs for the ladies to have a rest."
Manager Zheng responded and retreated.
Yun Shang then looked at the two people kneeling on the ground. He couldn't tell who they were just by looking at their backs. Yun Shang raised his eyes and said, "Is this the assassin who stabbed the third prince of Yelang Kingdom? He is really bold, so
Many people dare to take action, but fortunately our country, Ning, has always been heavily guarded, otherwise the third prince's life might have been in danger."
As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, he heard a rough voice coming over, "It's heavily guarded? Your country is heavily guarded, but I really don't understand, why did our third prince offend you, Mr. Wen? He actually
You want to put our third prince to death like this. He is the son of a minister of your country. Maybe it was your emperor who instigated it."
"Bold!" Yun Shang yelled angrily and looked at the man who spoke, his eyes filled with coldness, "Something happened to the prince of your country in Ningguo. We will investigate it and deal with the murderer severely. However, you keep saying that I
The Emperor of Ning Guo ordered someone to stab the prince of your country. Do you have any evidence to slander the Emperor? The following is a serious crime in Ning Guo that affects the nine tribes. Today, I, Ning Yunshang, am here to ask you. If found out, what is the relationship between this matter and
It has nothing to do with the Emperor, do you dare to bear the sin that you should bear?"
The man was very tall and tall, with a ferocious face. He originally had a careless and contemptuous expression, but when Yun Shang rebuked him like this, his expression changed involuntarily.
"you……"
Yun Shang snorted coldly, "Me? I am Princess Ning Guo Huiguo... I respect you as a guest, but I hope you also recognize your identity. Don't forget that you are stepping on your feet at the moment, but
My land of Ningguo."
The man's face turned red and he wanted to speak again, but was pulled gently by the person next to him. He had to stamp his feet and turned his head away bitterly.
Yun Shang didn't want to get entangled with him. She knew that her appearance just now had caught the eyes of many people, and she probably had to make some judgment in her heart. Yun Shang turned her eyes, glanced around everyone, and then
Seeing the disbelieving expressions of everyone in the Li Mansion, Wen Ruyu also looked at Yun Shang blankly, but Prince Jing actually had a faint smile in his eyes.
Yun Shang turned around again and saw Emperor Ning looking thoughtful. Yun Shang smiled slightly and walked to Emperor Ning's side, "Father, you don't blame Shang'er for being too reckless, right?"
I'm just a little unhappy because some people are clearly just dogs, but because they have been running rampant on the grassland for a while and no one told them that they are dogs since they were young, they think they are wolves."
Emperor Ning smiled slightly. Although he was surprised by Yun Shang's sudden appearance, he was also a little happy. His daughter was not weak and could be bullied, and she knew how to protect him, which naturally made him happy.
"What Chang'er said is of course right."
Yun Chang turned her head and pretended not to see the man's bulging eyes and the murderous intent in his eyes. She looked at the two people kneeling on the ground and frowned slightly, "Hey, this assassin in blue, Chang'er
I seem to have seen it somewhere? I just can’t remember it.”
When King Jing heard this, he smiled and said, "Shang'er has indeed seen him. On March 3 this year, we met Wen Qingzhu, the young master of the Wen family, during our outing."
Hearing this, Yun Shang showed a look of surprise, "Yes, I remembered it. It was indeed Wen Qingzhu, the young master of the Wen family. He seemed to have come with Miss Wen Ruyu of the Wen family that day... Hey, but why?
Became an assassin?"
Yun Shang looked at Wen Ruyu inexplicably, but saw that Manager Zheng had already ordered someone to place the chair. Wen Ruyu seemed to be about to sit down, but when she heard Yun Shang mentioning herself, she looked startled and looked at the kneeling person on the ground in disbelief.
The two of them just felt that these two figures seemed familiar, but because they were said to be the assassins who stabbed Cang Jue Qingsu, they didn't think much about it, but they didn't want to...
Wen Ruyu was a little surprised and hurriedly walked in front of the two of them, but was shocked. Even though she had just heard Yun Shang talking about it, she still couldn't help shouting, "Father, brother..." The surprise on her face was not the same.
There is no way it can be faked.
Wen Qingzhu looked decadent, his clothes were a little messy, his hair was loose, his face was pale, and his hands were trembling slightly. When he heard someone calling him, he just raised his eyes to look at Wen Ruyu, and then lowered his head.
Wen Yunqing remained motionless, his back straight, but the frown on his forehead betrayed his emotions.
Wen Ruyu didn't know what happened during this period, and she was even more surprised. She looked towards Prime Minister Li, but saw that Prime Minister Li was not looking at her, and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Brother, what's going on? You have never met the third prince of Yelang Kingdom, why did you stab him?" Wen Ruyu squatted down and grabbed Wen Qingzhu's arm and asked. Seeing that Wen Qingzhu didn't react at all, the strength in his hand
It got a little heavier, and Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but frown, looking at Wen Ruyu, but said nothing.
Wen Ruyu had no choice but to turn her head and look at Wen Yunqing, "Father."
Wen Yunqing frowned but did not speak.
"Miss Wen, please go and sit aside. You will know what is going on later. If your brother and your father are innocent, the law will have its own verdict." Yun Shang spoke softly, with a hint of emotion.
of comfort.
Wen Ruyu knew that she didn't know the situation now and couldn't do anything. The more she did, the more mistakes she made. If for this reason, her father and brother were charged more seriously, it would be more harm than good. Moreover, Wen Mansion and that person were in the same boat. He
He will definitely try his best to save him. If he doesn't, he will be surrendered when the time comes.
Wen Ruyu thought this, hesitated for a moment, then let go of Wen Qingzhu's hand, stood up, walked to his seat and sat down.
"Have the people from Dali Temple arrived?" Emperor Ning asked in a deep voice.
Prince Jing quickly stepped forward and said, "We are already on the way."
Just as he was talking, he heard a voice, "Your Majesty, I'm here, I'm here." Then a man with a gray beard hurried in.
Emperor Ning nodded and pointed to the chair beside him, "Sit down and let Prince Jing tell you what happened. Then you can start the trial and be more careful."
The Minister of Dali Temple nodded quickly and responded, "I obey your order."
Prince Jing raised his voice and said, "Mr.
It's being inserted into the third prince's body."
When the Minister of Dali Temple heard this, his expression became a little more serious. When it came to the three princes of Yelang Kingdom, if one mistake was made, it would most likely affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Thinking in his mind, he looked at Wen Qingzhu and said, "Wen Qingzhu, Ye
You stabbed the third prince Lang Guo? Can you plead guilty?"
When Wen Qingzhu heard this question, he seemed to have regained his composure. He looked at the Dali Temple minister and said, "It was a common man who stabbed him, and he confessed his crime."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned again. Wen Ruyu stared at Wen Qingzhu dumbfounded, never expecting that he was really his brother.
"Where are the guards of the Third Prince and Young Master Wen that I just discovered?" Dali Temple Qing asked, and a guard quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "Sir, it was a subordinate who found out..." Dali Temple Qing nodded, "
When we just discovered them, they were the only two people in the yard?"
The guard quickly said, "Yes, there are only two of them in the yard, and there is no one else."
The Minister of Dali Temple turned to look at Wen Qingzhu again, "Why did Mr. Wen stab the third prince of Yelang Kingdom?"
Everyone looked at Wen Qingzhu, and just now Wen Ruyu said that Wen Qingzhu had never met Cang Jue Qingsu before, so how could he be related to Cang Jue Qingsu? Moreover, there seemed to be a deep hatred, directly
So he stabbed it.
But Wen Qingzhu smiled coldly, "The Yelang Kingdom has launched a war against our Ning Kingdom, which has put the people on the border in dire straits. Moreover, Cang Jue Qingsu is still the commander-in-chief of the army. As a native of the Ning Kingdom, he should kill them all."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. Wen Qingzhu was not stupid, he even found such an excuse.
This matter seems to have come to light at this point. Wen Qingzhu deliberately stabbed the third prince of Yelang Kingdom because Yelang Kingdom and Ning Kingdom were now enemies. This was a patriotic act. If this is true, it would really put Emperor Ning in a dilemma.
, if he is not punished, then the Yelang Kingdom will definitely take the opportunity to launch an attack, but if it is punished, the people will most likely not be happy.
The people in the garden were all people who had been in the officialdom for many years, so they naturally knew the relationship. Everyone lowered their heads and did not speak.
Yun Shang frowned, seeming a little confused, "Well, although I, as a woman and a princess, should not speak when your lord is reviewing the case, I am really a little confused and don't quite understand."
Everyone's eyes fell on Yun Shang. After Yun Shang's behavior of scolding the minister of Yelang Kingdom just now, everyone knew that this princess was probably unusual.
Yun Chang noticed everyone's gazes, but didn't care at all. On the contrary, Prince Jing smiled and said, "If Chang'er has any questions, just ask. The minister of Dali Temple is fair in handling cases and can naturally withstand doubts."
Yun Chang breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and said, "I heard from the emperor's uncle just now that the guard entered the courtyard after hearing a scream. The scream was loud. Just now Chang'er and the ladies
They also heard it, but Chang'er remembered that the scream was clearly a woman's voice. Why did the guard say that after entering, they only saw Mr. Wen and the third prince of Yelang Kingdom, and no one else? So what about this scream?
Where did it come from? Who sent it? Could it be that there was a third person in the courtyard originally, but he hid before the guards came in? "
As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, everyone's eyes became a little more confused. Many people had heard the screams just now, but as Yun Shang said, it was a woman...
Yun Shang felt a cold gaze looking towards her, like a snake's letter, which made people faintly chilled. Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at that gaze, and saw Wen Qingzhu withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened.
.
Hearing this, the Minister of Dali Temple frowned and looked at Prince Jing, "My lord, you didn't mention this when you told me just now, but what's the truth?"
Prince Jing nodded, "It seems that I was negligent and failed to pay attention to such details."
The Minister of Dali Temple nodded, "If it is true as the princess said, then there must be a hidden secret in this matter. Mr. Wen, you and the third prince of Yelang Kingdom were in the courtyard just now. Can you tell us who the woman is?"
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu raised his head with some confusion, "The common people have never seen other people. If there are other people present, the common people will never dare to attack."
The Minister of Dali Temple frowned, "Is the third prince of Yelang Kingdom seriously injured? Is he conscious? Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to ask?"
Emperor Ning nodded and let people go.
After a while, the person who asked the question came back, "Reporting to the emperor, the third prince said that he was a little confused at the time and did not see it."
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Prince Jing. Prince Jing understood what she meant and spoke, "I have fought with the third prince before, and I know about his martial arts. But I heard that Mr. Wen is not the same as Mr. Wen."
Not practicing martial arts? How could a master be stabbed by a person who has never practiced martial arts? As for who else is in this courtyard, because the emperor is coming today, there are many people in the palace. I, the king
I think, no matter what, someone might have seen it. Someone, go and bring all the servants and guards who are cleaning around the yard."
After a while, a group of people came in, and the already crowded courtyard became even more crowded.
"Did you see anyone entering the courtyard?" the Dali Temple Minister said in a deep voice.
Everyone looked at each other, and after a long time, a timid voice rang out, "The servant was pruning the branches on the opposite side. He saw Princess Hua Jing and her maid entering the courtyard first. Later, Master Wen Qingzhu also went in, but the servant kept going from beginning to end.
I have never seen the third prince of Yelang Kingdom go in..."
When one person said this, several people also echoed, "The slaves also saw it."
Hearing this, the Minister of Dali Temple felt a little embarrassed. After all, Princess Hua Jing was also a princess, and he had no right to order how to treat her...
When Emperor Ning heard this, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes became a little darker, as if a storm was brewing, "Where is Princess Hua Jing? Go find Princess Hua Jing."
When a guard heard this, he quickly went down. After a while, he saw Hua Jing and his maid walking in from outside the courtyard. They walked up to Emperor Ning and saluted. Perhaps it was because of what happened some time ago that Hua Jing had no respect for this father.
The emperor was a little afraid, so he raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Ning cautiously, "Father, do you have something to give me when you are looking for your son?" (To be continued)
