"Just now, Changle said that Prince An and the Tenth Prince also helped. Is that true?"
Emperor Beiling shifted his gaze from Lu Linyi to Xiao Yun and Xiao Jin and continued asking.
"Replying to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. Your son and I saw with our own eyes that it was the gray-clothed men under the command of Prince Rui who did it."
Xiao Yun pointed at Jun Li and said.
The two princes, together with the eldest son of the Nan family who was personally supported by Emperor Beiling, testified together. Now Emperor Beiling has completely believed that Xiao Zhan was assassinated.
The eyes of Emperor Beiling instantly turned fierce. Xichen's hostage actually dared to allow his men to hurt members of the royal family in Beiling.
This guy is too bold. Does he think that because of the rule that "protons cannot be moved recklessly", he is sure that the other party won't dare to do anything to him?
In the final analysis, doesn't this mean that they don't take him, the Emperor of Beiling, seriously?
“Father, the justice Yun Che wants is very simple. Since this gray-robed slave dared to assassinate Yun Che, I will let him be dealt with by me. As for His Royal Highness Prince Rui, he is a king of a different surname appointed by your father. I dare not act rashly. I have to ask your father to make the decision.”
Xiao Zhan spoke slowly, his tone calm, but every word he said was challenging Emperor Beiling's bottom line.
What happened to the king of a different surname?
It's just an empty title he conferred on him on a whim, just for show.
Jun Li thought that he could be arrogant in Beiling just because he had the title of a king of a different surname? Dream on! He can be conferred or removed.
Emperor Beiling roared in his heart.
"Okay, I agree to your request." Emperor Beiling gave an order and handed Juepan to Xiao Zhan for disposal.
“As for you, Prince Xichen, it seems that the title of King Rui is not suitable for you at all. From today on, your title of King of a Different Surname will be cancelled.
You can't control your subordinates, you committed crimes in Beiling, and assassinated the royal family of Beiling. According to the rules of Beiling, you should be executed immediately, but because you are a hostage, I will spare your life. However, your good days are over. When you return, you will be locked up in the inner court to reflect on your actions. "
Xiao Huan suffered a great loss in this verdict.
"Your Majesty, I know Qinwen about this servant Jue. He doesn't know any martial arts, so how could he assassinate His Royal Highness Prince Gong? Your Highness must have recognized the wrong person. That assassin couldn't be Jue."
When Wu Meifeng heard that Jue was going to be taken away, she was extremely anxious. Jue was her most capable assistant.
If he left her, who would she turn to for help in the future? Who would protect her?
Jiang Xue is protected by two nimble girls. How can she fight against others if she loses her unique skills?
So you must stay with her and never let them take her away.
She hurried forward, grabbed Emperor Beiling's sleeve, knelt down and begged.
That pitiful look made Emperor Beiling feel a little soft-hearted.
"You don't know martial arts?" Jiang Xue sneered and glanced at Jue who looked listless beside her.
His condition was indeed much worse than before in the cave.
But no matter what, for a person with special skills, testing his strength is a piece of cake.
Jiang Xue tapped her fingers lightly on the table. This was her secret signal to Fu Dong.
Fu Dong immediately took out a hidden weapon from his waist and threw it towards Jue with a whoosh.
The hidden weapon broke through the air and went straight to Jue's forehead.
Jue instinctively dodged to the side and accurately caught the flying hidden weapon with his fingers.
The originally listless eyes immediately became extremely alert.
"Is this what Princess Qinwen meant by not being able to practice martial arts? It seems that Princess Qinwen doesn't know this servant very well."
Jiang Xue exposed Wu Meifeng's lies in public with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
"Princess Qinwen cares so much about this person. Could it be that this assassin is one of Princess Qinwen's men?"
This question made Wu Meifeng break out in a cold sweat.
Jue has been identified as the assassin who killed the royal family. If she admits that Jue is her man, wouldn't her ending be the same as Jun Li's?
No, she didn't want to go to a place like the Inner Court. When she first entered the palace, the Queen took her there to show her her power.
"No." She answered excitedly: "How could he be my slave?"
Facing the scrutinizing gaze of Emperor Beiling, her heart rose to her throat: "Your Majesty, I just saw that he couldn't speak and was quite pitiful, so I usually took better care of him. He usually looked very honest and was often bullied by other servants, so I thought he didn't know martial arts."
"Really?" Due to Jiang Xue's test of Jue, Emperor Beiling's trust in Wu Meifeng was shaken.
So he asked this question to the queen.
He trusted the queen who had always been by his side more than a princess who came from a barbaric land.
"Your Majesty, what Qinwen said is true. This servant is a mute. Other servants bullied him, but he couldn't complain, so he really suffered a lot. And he never fought back when he was beaten, so we all thought he was just an ordinary person.
I didn't expect that he was actually an assassin with special skills. I was really scared when I thought that he had been in my palace for such a long time without me noticing. "
No matter what, Wu Meifeng was Xiao Huan's man after all. Xiao Huan had proposed an alliance to the queen before, and the queen was considering it. In order to leave a way out for herself, she decided to help Wu Meifeng.
After hearing what the Queen said, Emperor Beiling finally believed what Wu Meifeng said.
He patted her hands and asked her to stand up: "Since this guy is confirmed to be a killer, let Prince Gong deal with him severely. Otherwise, he will be a time bomb if he stays in the palace."
After hearing this, Wu Meifeng had no choice but to hold her anger.
On the surface, she pretended to listen to Emperor Beiling's words and nodded in agreement, but in her heart she hated Jiang Xue for killing off a capable assistant.
After the inspection meeting was over and awards were given to the princes, everyone rushed home.
After traveling for several days in a row, they finally returned to Yujing City in the evening.
"Pour some cold water on him to wake him up!"
In the dungeon of Prince Gong's Mansion, Jue, who was captured by Xiao Zhan, was tied up on the torture device.
The guy was covered in wounds and his clothes were torn.
A bucket of salt water was poured on his wound, and the pain woke him up from his dream with a grimace in his mouth.
Two hours have passed since he was captured, and he has been interrogated by Qing Feng and his men during this period.
But I didn't get any answer.
"Brother Qingfeng, this kid has lost his tongue. No matter how much we ask him, we can't get any information out of him. What's the point of continuing to do this?"
Seeing that he had fainted again, the guard in the dungeon said to Qing Feng helplessly.
"Who says intelligence has to be spoken?"
Before Qing Feng could speak, the dungeon door creaked open and Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan walked in together.
"Your Highness, Princess."
Qing Feng took the lead and led the other guards to bow to the two men.
"Any new discoveries?" Xiao Zhan raised his hand to ask everyone to stand up, then moved closer to look at Jue carefully.
"Your Highness, there has been no progress so far." Qing Feng felt a little embarrassed.
This is the first time since I followed His Highness that I cannot answer his question.
