my princess boy

"Maybe she's just acting?" Sheng Jin'an asked.

"Your Majesty is worrying too much, this concubine just wants to go to the small garden suddenly." Ying Jieyu glanced at him lightly.

This sentence "worry too much" made Sheng Jinan's eyes narrow - this clearly means that he has ulterior motives!

"Since this is the case, the suspicion of the princess can be cleared away, but the suspicion of Marquis Wu'an is certain!" Pei Xuandao cupped his hands and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it may be that Mr. Jiang admires the princess's demeanor and wants to marry the princess by force, but he is afraid that your majesty will marry the princess." The princess refuses to agree, so she simply does one thing, shoots and kills the son-in-law and His Majesty!"

"Pei Xiang's imagination is really rich, it would be a pity not to tell stories." Mu Xianyi said sarcastically.

At this time, Ling Xuetang straightened her back suddenly, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the arrow just now was clearly shot from the southwest, and the direction where Marquis Wu'an and Mr. Jiang are located is the west, and the angle is not right at all, unless they Ambush people in the west!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lou Yuzhang cried out suddenly as if suddenly enlightened:

"I just saw someone raising a bow and shooting an arrow in the crowd!"

All eyes were on his face, and he immediately scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, blushing and said: "At that time, I was following Ling Xuetang and Shizi, and when I saw the arrow shoot out, I immediately turned my head to look at the arrow. The direction the shot came from... well, that’s over there, I remember it was one of them, but I don’t remember who it was.”

He said, pointing to three of the Janissaries standing to the west.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw the three imperial guards kneeling on the ground, shouting for grievances:

"I am wronged, Your Majesty, the little one never drew his bow!"

"The little one would never dare to do such a decapitation, Your Majesty!"

"That's right, I wouldn't even dare to do such a thing even if I had the guts to do it!"

Just now, these three people, like other imperial guards, stood on the sidelines to protect the princes and ministers who stood aside. They were also equipped with bows and arrows. It is really hard to determine who shot the arrows.

Everyone immediately started discussing, and they seemed to be a little confused. Some even wondered if Lou Yuzhang had made a mistake and pointed at three people.

Mu Xianyi looked at the three people, and then at Sheng Jin'an who was standing not far away. Seeing that his expressionless, somewhat haughty face was stained with gloom, he sneered in his heart and said, , Sheng Jin'an, are you also aware of uneasiness?Yes, the fun is yet to come!

He turned his head and looked at Ling Xuetang, and saw Ling Xuetang slightly nodded at him, then turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have a way to tell who shot the arrow."

"Oh?" Emperor Zhang Wu raised his eyebrows and said, "Get up and talk, Jin Cheng and you too."

"Thank you, Your Majesty (Royal Father)." Ling Xuetang helped Mu Xianyi get up from the ground, and when he stabilized, he cupped his hands at Emperor Zhang Wu and said, "Your Majesty, I have been in the army for a few years, and I have seen many A different kind of arrow, this kind of arrow from the Marquis of Wu'an, was dipped in black paint during production to make the arrow stronger and more resistant to insects. If someone uses this kind of arrow, when the arrow is ejected vigorously, the bow arm will definitely leave the body of the arrow You only need to check the bows of the three of them to know who shot the arrow!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhang Wu immediately waved his hand and said, "Check!"

Soon, the imperial guards came forward to check the bows of the three of them, but, seeing the different reactions of the three of them, it seemed that there was no need to check them at all—the tall and thin man on the farthest side had a frightened face, and even his body was trembling. A little trembling, although he tried his best to maintain his composure, but his expression really couldn't hide the panic.

"It's him, grab him!" The inspecting guard gave an order, and the other two guards immediately grabbed the soldier, cut his hands behind his back and forced him to kneel on the ground.

The inspecting imperial guard strode up to the emperor with a bow, and presented the bow: "Report to Your Majesty, it is this man, and there is obvious black paint on the bow arm!"

Emperor Zhang Wu only glanced at the bow, and shouted sharply: "Speak! Who bought your arrow!"

The imperial guard fell to the ground, shaking like a sieve, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, it is the son of Prince Pingnan, and it is the son of Prince Pingnan who gave the little one 50 taels of silver to shoot and kill the son-in-law indiscriminately." , and promised to give the little one 50 taels after the matter is completed... It's the little one who is greedy for money, it's the little one who was confused for a while, please Your Majesty spare the little life!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was even more uproar-why did the matter involve Prince Pingnan again?This matter is getting more and more complicated!

Emperor Zhang Wu suddenly shot his gaze at Sheng Lin and Sheng Jin'an and his son, staring at the two of them sullenly: "Sheng Lin, what's going on?"

Sheng Lin watched the scene for a long time, not wanting to get himself burned, but also thinking of his son's wild and unruly attitude, he couldn't help shivering, changed his mind, and quickly reprimanded him angrily:

"Nizi! How dare you do such a rebellious thing! How dare you! Tell me, did you do it!"

Sheng Jin Anwan didn't expect that there would be such mistakes and omissions in his well-arranged plan, and immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I never did such a thing, he is the one who slandered me! He must have been bribed slander me!"

Mu Xianyi sneered as he watched from the sidelines, thinking that the father and son really knew how to sing and shouted a song of grievances, he turned to his father and said: "Father, there is also that servant who slandered my son and minister for having an affair with others." , must have been bought by someone, why not try him first, and you will know whether he was bought by the crown prince or someone else."

As soon as Emperor Zhang Wu was reminded by him, he suddenly looked at the eloquent servant before, sneered, and said, "That's right, it's better to pull out all ten of his nails first, and let him know what a crime it is to accuse the princess of false accusations, and then he will know the palace." If we follow the laws of the country, we will be willing to confess the person behind the scenes." He paused, and then sternly said, "Come on—"

"Oh, Your Majesty, I said I said it!!!" The servant was so frightened that his whole face was as white as paper, shaking like a leaf in the wind-you know, beheading is not enough to kill the head, but pulling out ten nails , What a torture that would be worse than death!

I saw him walking forward on his knees, kowtowing to the ground, weeping bitterly, like a bereaved dog, completely lost the righteousness of just now: "It's the son of Prince Pingnan, he bought the servant girl, and gave it to the servant girl, the princess maidservant Ropa, let the servants testify to slander the princess, Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me—"

After hearing this, Emperor Zhang Wu snorted coldly, stood up suddenly and kicked him: "You dog slave!"

"Ah!" The servant was kicked far away, vomited blood and fell to the ground, dying.

Everyone was taken aback by the emperor's move. When they looked again, they saw that the emperor's complexion was terribly dark, his eyes were as gloomy as the sky before a storm, and the emperor's murderous aura was fully revealed - he walked towards Sheng Jin'an, the corners of his mouth twitching , was about to say something, when suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance——

It turned out that the general of the Imperial Guard who had just gone after the man in black came back:

"Report-"

He rode his horse to the place where everyone was, dismounted in a hurry, trotted a few steps, and knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. All the men in black escaped in the forest, but one of the men in black accidentally dropped a piece of blood in the forest." The token, it's..." He lowered his head and paused, then quickly continued, "It's the token of Pingnan Palace!"

After the speech, the audience was silent, except for the howling autumn wind and the fluttering of flags.
