my princess boy
Chapter 74
Ling Xuetang hastily rode her horse into the palace.
The person who came to report just now told him that Ying Jieyu in the palace was found dead in his palace, and Mu Xianyi was there at that time!All the palace people saw Mu Xianyi go in, and not long after, a maid went in to serve tea, and found that Ying Jieyu had been stabbed in the chest with scissors and died.Rong Bi, Ying Jieyu's personal maid, threw herself against the wall after seeing her master died, and Mu Xianyi was arrested as the murderer.
And the most important thing about the whole matter was that, under the questioning of the emperor who came in a hurry, Mu Xianyi didn't even have a word of excuse, and directly admitted that Ying Jieyu was killed by herself!
Emperor Zhang Wu was furious and imprisoned him in a secluded palace on the spot!
What surprised Ling Xuetang the most was that Mu Xianyi directly admitted that he had killed someone. He naturally believed that Mu Xianyi would never kill someone——Mu Xianyi knew right from wrong, was upright, and had never had any grudges with Ning Xiangwu, so how could he kill her?What's more, Mu Xianyi is weak and has no strength to restrain a chicken. Even if he really wanted to kill someone, he would never do it himself on the spot. This matter is really strange!
He hurried to the gate of the Emperor's Yiqing Hall, and saw his mother and concubine Chen kneeling at the gate, with disheveled hair and tear-stained faces. Seeing him coming, they all begged him for help as if they had found a backbone:
"My son-in-law, you came just in time. Go and beg His Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly. Both Xian'er and I have been wronged!"
When Ling Xuetang heard this, she frowned even more.
Mrs. Zhen Guogong heard this, and hurriedly said: "Xuetang, just now I came to intercede with Concubine Chen, His Majesty was so furious that he refused to listen to what I said to Concubine Chen, and even pointed out that the princess was avenging Concubine Chen. The one who just killed!"
Ling Xuetang seemed to be drunk, and asked: "Chen Concubine, have you made a feud with Ying Jieyu?"
Concubine Chen's beautiful and generous face was devoid of blood, she shook her head with tears in her eyes, after a while, she nodded again, and said: "Three days ago, a cat in my palace was beaten to death by Ying Jieyu's palace servants. ...Although I am angry and sad, but I am an animal after all, how can I hate her to the point where I have to kill her?"
Ling Xuetang was silent, three days ago she had just made a complaint, and this happened today, isn't this too coincidental?
"My son-in-law, the key is that Xianyi admitted that he killed someone. I don't know why. How could he kill someone? You are disgraceful in front of His Majesty, so please intercede for me. Please investigate thoroughly, otherwise Xian'er is Jumping into the Yellow River won't clean it up!" Concubine Chen was one of the four concubines, but she cried in public until the pear blossoms were in tears, her hairpins were scattered, and she completely disregarded her image in front of the palace people.
The palace servants who came and went around peeked at them, but they all held their breath, lowered their eyebrows and nodded, as if they were afraid of getting involved.
Asked here, Ling Xuetang also had an idea in her heart, nodded, and said to Concubine Chen and her mother: "I understand, you two, relax, no matter what, I will definitely clear up Xuanxuan's grievances."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to lift his outer robe, and walked quickly towards the Yiqing Palace.
"Stay here, son-in-law!" At the door, the servant stopped him with a cold face, "Your Majesty has ordered that anyone who comes to intercede for the princess will not be seen!"
Ling Xuetang looked at him with a condensed expression, her eyes were as cold as frost on a winter morning: "This matter is of great importance. My father is on his way to the palace. The princess is not only His Majesty's daughter, but also my wife, Ling Xuetang. The Duke’s daughter-in-law, Your Majesty just lost a concubine, while Duke Zhen and I are about to lose our wife and daughter-in-law, shouldn’t you give me and Duke Zhen an explanation!”
The servant was stunned, his heart was chilled by his gaze, he hurriedly lowered his head, and said in a respectful tone: "My son-in-law, please don't embarrass your slave..."
"Even if the princess is really guilty and loses power, my government is still an important minister. Do you think I can't do it if I want to settle accounts with you, a little servant Qiu Hou?" Stirring.
The servant trembled and couldn't even stand in front of him, so he hurriedly said: "Your maidservant dare not, my maidservant dare not, my maidservant dare not, my maidservant will go now..." Saying this, she went in to complain as if she was fleeing.
Not long after, he heard the angry voice of Emperor Zhang Wu, and then the servant came out in a hurry and invited him in, with a hint of gloating in his eyes, as if he was sure that he would be in trouble too.
Ling Xuetang straightened her back, stepped firmly, and strode inside.
It's not the first time he entered Yiqing Palace, he came once when the emperor was tempting him to marry Mu Xianyi, and when he played with Mu Xianyi and the prince to save his father and a group of important officials, but he never felt through such a suffocating atmosphere.
The memorial teacups fell to the ground, and the palace servants were picking them up tremblingly. The emperor was perched on the throne like a dragon in a rage, and he could feel the wrath without looking.
He bowed to the emperor meticulously, and said in a flat tone: "Your Majesty, you are her father, so you must know better than me what kind of person the princess is. What's more, the enmity between the concubine Chen and Ying Jieyu is just a dog Cat, why would the princess personally assassinate Ying Jieyu in Ying Jieyu's palace?"
Emperor Zhang Wu sneered: "It's not that I wronged her, but she confessed to murder! She confessed to killing Xiangwu!"
After he finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to face this matter again.
"There must be something wrong, please Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly!" Ling Xuetang clasped her fists and bowed towards Emperor Zhang Wu. He knew that from the expression of Emperor Zhang Wu, the case of Emperor Zhang Wu's murder of Mu Xianyi was the truth. Heartbroken, not totally convinced.He added, "If it doesn't work, please Your Majesty let me meet the princess. Maybe the princess has some difficulties, but I am her husband, so she will definitely tell me."
"Okay, you're going, just go, and save yourself the time to say that I don't know right from wrong!" Emperor Zhang Wu said coldly.
Ling Xuetang didn't speak, but saluted him, and left quickly.
The You Palace is located in the northwest corner of the palace, very desolate and lonely. This is the place where princes and princesses who have made mistakes are confined. It is said that all princesses and princes will change color when they mention it.
Ling Xuetang was led by the servants to the door of a small house. This small house is really not as big as their house, and there is only a small window, and only a little light can penetrate through it.
Ling Xuetang looked at everything in front of her, lowered her eyelids silently, but her tone became colder: "Open the door."
"Squeak-"
The door opened, and he stepped in quickly.
It was pretty dark in there.He squinted his eyes for a while to get used to it, and when he looked around, he saw Mu Xianyi wearing the light red jacket and skirt that he had when he went there this morning, sitting on an old chair with a dejected expression.
"My son-in-law, is that you?!" Seeing him, Mu Xianyi's eyes shone brightly, as if two bright lamps were lit.
Ling Xuetang didn't have time to speak, and after a while, the petite figure rushed over, and he immediately opened his arms to hug him, paused, and then said calmly:
"It's me, Xuanxuan."
The person who came to report just now told him that Ying Jieyu in the palace was found dead in his palace, and Mu Xianyi was there at that time!All the palace people saw Mu Xianyi go in, and not long after, a maid went in to serve tea, and found that Ying Jieyu had been stabbed in the chest with scissors and died.Rong Bi, Ying Jieyu's personal maid, threw herself against the wall after seeing her master died, and Mu Xianyi was arrested as the murderer.
