032 Dispute

1

When receiving the letter brought by Nangong Ming, Nangong Yi was shocked.

The little prince, who was one year old and February, was strangled to death by Empress Du. There was a maid of honor with a face beside Empress Du as evidence, and the guilt was conclusive.

And the Noble Concubine Yan will write to him, asking him to "do justice" for herself.

Presiding over justice... He has deliberately alienated himself from her for more than a year, but her shadow still wanders through his heart from time to time.

That's the person I fell in love with for the first time. How hard it is to forget. She was the first to lose heart, but the person who persisted and refused to forget was him.

Once again, as soon as she made a request to him, he desperately agreed--

He plans to go to the palace, try the case in person, and get justice for her in his own way. After hurriedly tidying up his appearance, Nangong Yi strode out of the door...

"Where are you going?" Murong Xueyan suddenly appeared.

"Into the palace." He didn't raise his head and looked at her as if she were nothing.

"What's the matter?" Seeing his anxious appearance, she really wanted to know why.

"It's okay if you don't know." With the friendship between her and Queen Du, if she knows the purpose of her entering the palace this time, I'm afraid she will obstruct it again.

Murong Xueyan came up stubbornly and stopped him: "What's going on? Do you and I need to hide it from each other like this?"

"Well, anyway, I won't tell you at this time, and you will know later. I might as well say it directly." Nangong Yi raised his eyes and looked straight at her: "Your good friend Du Lanruo, she strangled the little prince to death this morning."

"How can it be? If Lan is not that kind of person!" As Nangong Yi imagined in advance, Murong Xueyan didn't believe his words at all.

"In the morning, Yun'er went back to rest. There was no one around the little prince. Du Lanruo quietly went in with the maid of honor and strangled the little prince!" Nangong Yi described it according to the description in the letter to him by the noble concubine Yan.

"This is just your words, isn't it?" Murong Xueyan retorted, "Your Yun'er, you almost sent someone to kill me, which made Mr. Leng lose one of his eyes and disfigured me. Later, Lan Ruo lost her first child. How could you know it was not her plan this time?"

"A scheming?!" Nangong Yi was furious and said loudly, "What, do you think a mother will be cruel enough to sacrifice his children to frame others?"

"The world is so big that there are all oddities. Whether you want to believe it or not, some things that you think are impossible don't mean they won't happen..."

"You shut up, don't insult Yun'er!" Nangong Yi interrupted her fiercely.

"You and the people I believe are different. It's meaningless to go on. It's just a quarrel." Murong Xueyan calmed down and said, "Well, I will go to the palace with you. You can tell the truth."

"Good." This time, Nangong Yi stopped saying anything and took her into the palace together.

The palace has become a mess. All the human and material evidence pointed to Queen Du. This time, she really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it.

On the one hand, he is his only son so far, and on the other hand, he is the only person he loves and sees as his wife. How to tilt the balance of his feelings? Beitanghao's heart is so confused.

As soon as Nangong Yi and Murong Xueyan entered the palace, they investigated things according to their own habits. Nangong Yi asked the details of the matter again in front of Bei Tanghao, and Murong Xueyan personally asked Empress Du, who had been banned for her guilt.

"Believe me, Xue Yan, I didn't do anything." Queen Du described the scene at that time, "After I saw Yaer early in the morning, I went to see the little prince. When I arrived, he was out of breath. It's just that I don't understand why this girl Caiqing is helping outsiders frame me.

She shuddered at the thought of Cai Qing's frame-up at that time. This Caiqing has been serving her since the day she entered the palace. I think it's good for me to be young at ordinary times. I really can't understand why she turned against her. Could it be...

Queen Du didn't open her mouth, and Murong Xueyan had said what she thought for her: "This Caiqing, who has been arranged to serve you from the beginning, is someone's undercover agent."

"Undercover?" The words she had never heard made Queen Du slightly stunned, and immediately said, "What you mean is that Caiqing was sent by someone else to put it around me."

"Yes, it's a pity that all the evidence is against you now." Murong Xueyan sighed and thought of a county case in the Tang Palace--

Hasn't there been a similar injustice in history? At the beginning of the Tang Gaozong period, Wu Zetian, who was still a talented man, did not hesitate to kill his daughter in person and blame the queen Wang in order to bring down the queen. Did this Yan Moyun use the same method?

"Bear by the way, why did the little prince live in the side hall of the Hehuan Hall? Shouldn't he be in the Ganlu Hall?" Murong Xueyan suddenly thought of a detail.

"Two days ago, the little prince accidentally fell into the water. Concubine Yan panicked and took the little prince into my acacia hall. The doctors also said that the little prince was not well ill and was too cold, so he could not move. I asked myself how to treat the little prince like my son in those days. I don't understand..."

Obviously, when she took the initiative to help Yan Guifei on the day the little prince fell into the water, she had seen a faint look of gratitude in the other party's eyes. She naively thought that she could make the two of them get back together by taking advantage of this incident.

I didn't expect it to backfire...

"Xueyan, help me." Queen Du looked at Murong Xueyan pitifully.

"Is there a doctor who can prove that the little prince died before you came?" Murong Xueyan asked.

"No." Queen Du shook her head in discouraged.

"Can anyone else prove that you have never been against the little prince?" Murong Xueyan asked again.

"No. At that time, I only took Cai Qing with me. The rhinoceros was called to fight by the red silk beside the noble concubine.

"..." Murong Xueyan could only sigh dejectedly, "I just want to help you, I'm afraid I can't help you."

Empress Du was disheartened, as if her whole world collapsed in an instant. This time, no one can help her anymore. The waiter came over and said that the emperor ordered King Jing to rehear the case. She seemed to see hope again, and then turned to Mu Rong Xueyan, but she saw that Murong Xueyan was not happy.

"Xueyan, King Jing..."

"King Jing is dull and stubborn, and..." She shook her head mockingly and hid the following content of "and".

And... King Jing and Concubine Yan have known each other since childhood. The two used to be a pair of lovers, and their relationship is unusual. How could he help Queen Du? And it is absolutely impossible to help her friends for the face of her Murong Xueyan!

Everyone in the world says that men are affectionate, but sometimes, the least forgetful thing is precisely a seemingly dull man like Nangong Yi.

Nangong Yigao sat in the first seat and tried the case in person. Beitang Hao couldn't bear it and avoided it, while Murong Xueyan played the role of listening.

"Queen, you'd better tell the truth. What's the purpose of killing the little prince?" As soon as Nangong Yi opened his mouth, he was not polite at all.

"The little prince was not killed by my palace. When I saw the little prince, he was already angry. Queen Du refused to admit the crime that should not have been borne by herself.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I can ask others." Nangong Yi sneered at the corners of his mouth and asked Cai Qing, who was kneeling beside him, "Cai Qing, tell me, what did you see when you followed the queen?"

"The maidservant...the maidservant..." His eyes looked at the angry and self-righteous Jingwang Nangong Yi, and Cai Qing actually trembled for a moment. Murong Xueyan comforted her heart that as long as this perjury Caiqing showed his feet, things may turn around.

Cai Qing was hesitant and speechless, so he had to turn his eyes to Yunfei, but at a glance, he caught a glimpse of Yunfei deliberately shaking a jade pendant at her, so he had to bite his lips and calm down.

- The jade pendant was originally given to her by Empress Du, and she gave it to Lu Youting as a love token.

"At that time, the maidservant saw that the queen strangled the little prince with her own hands." Cai Qing replied in an orderly and reasonable way.

"You are lying! I didn't do anything at that time!" Queen Du was furious and stretched out her hand to give her a loud slap in the face.

"I didn't lie, and everything I said was true. In addition to the maidservant, Dr. Lu of the imperial hospital can also testify. The little prince was strangled to death.

"Queen, why did you kill the child of my palace? Even if your stomach is disappointing and you only have a daughter, why did you kill my son because of jealousy? Are you afraid that he will inherit the throne in the future, you can't be the empress dowager..." Concubine Yan said endlessly with tears.

That sad appearance made Nangong Yi worried... If she took her away at the beginning, life and death would not be hurt again and again. The deep palace is sinister, endless fighting, and endless intrigue. She is so weak. How can she survive in this dangerous and dangerous harem?

"That's Dr. Lu!" He couldn't wait to say.

As soon as Dr. Lu was brought up, Nangong Yi immediately asked urgently, "Doctor Lu, tell me the truth, how did the little prince die?"

Lu Youting looked at the hateful Queen Du and faintly felt compassion... The doctor's parents wanted him to frame an innocent person in front of so many people and hold her guilty. He really felt that it was really difficult to do it.

However, if he offends the noble concubine Yan for this so-called innocent person, not only will his own life be insurable, but it will also bring Caiqing and Caiqing's family...

"In the words of the prince, the little prince was indeed strangled to death." Lu Youting said affirmatively.

"Du Lanruo, what else can I say?" Nangong Yi asked aggressively.

"If you want to add a crime, why don't you have to say anything?" Queen Du smiled sadly, "This bureau is so seamless that I have nothing to say. Concubine Yan, I wish you all the best, have a white and fat son, and fulfill your dream of becoming a queen.

"What...what are you talking about?" Concubine Yan was pitiful and looked at her with tears on her face, "You killed my Ruier. You evil woman, you will die well, you..."

"Your concubine, why do you have to act?" Murong Xueyan couldn't stand it and smiled mockingly, "Killing people and buying murderers, isn't this your usual trick? Your hands are covered with blood. When you dream back at midnight, will you see the wronged soul?

"You are not allowed to talk nonsense!" Nangong Yi interrupted her with a roar.

"Have I said nonsense? You know it in your heart. You care about this woman. How have you ever cared about the feelings of others?" Murong Xueyan laughed and lifted the bangs on her forehead. "This scar is thanks to this woman, but what did you do at that time? Aren't you patronizing this woman like this time?"

"Murong Xueyan!" Nangong Yi's thick eyebrows were terribly entangled.

Concubine Yan continued to pretend to be pitiful with tears, while secretly looked at the two tit-for-tat people.

"Nang Gongyi, I would like to ask you, whose husband are you? You really don't know who is the evil woman, or you don't want to face it, or you want to cover up..."

"Pup", a slap in the face slapped her in the face. Murong Xueyan turned her head in disbelief and saw Nangong Yi standing in front of her with angrily.

On the snow-white face, there were five distinct fingerprints printed on it, which made everyone present secretly frightened.

"Xueyan... Forget it, it's my life." Queen Du shook her head in despair, and tears rolled down. "I'm sorry for the discord between you."
