Blood Eater

Chapter 151 Perjury

The king of Jin was stupid and protected Chu Ruoxi, which made people laugh and cry. Emperor Yongle looked at the two "less" juniors and couldn't laugh or cry, but he knew in his heart that the King of Jin was not really so naive. He did this for a purpose.

"Cough..." Emperor Yongle coughed lightly and said to the king of Jin, "Don't be presumptuous. Sit down first. I have something important to deal with!"

Yang Yiping obediently found Chu Yuanshan and did it. He smiled at Chu Ruoxi, with a naive face, and seemed to be satisfied with everything when he saw her.

Prince Rui took everything in his eyes, and there was a sourness in his heart. Thinking that he had just said something to his father, his father had never said anything, so he was broken in by this fool and stirred up the situation. He looked at Chu Ruoxi in full view. If there was no one else, his father not only did not blame him, but indulged it.

The most hateful thing is that my father just said, "Ruoxi will enter the palace as the future." If Chu Ruoxi really falls in love with this fool, and his father seems to acquiesce to their little ambiguity. According to this calculation, isn't the fool likely to become a prince?

The more he thought about it, the tighter his heart became. For a moment, he had no sense of peace. He clenched his fists, and 10,000 thoughts of dealing with the king of Jin were galloping...

Chu Ruoxi begged Emperor Yongle: "Ruoxi, please ask the imperial doctor to help Dong Fu heal his wounds first. If he goes on like this, he is afraid that his blood will run out, and didn't the bodyguard say that Dong Fu's injury was stabbed by him with a sword? Ask the imperial doctor to help Dong Fu check his pulse. The imperial doctor can definitely find out whether he has been internally injured, so as to avoid Dong Fu's suspicion of being an assassin?

Emperor Yongle nodded and agreed, worried about the injury of his two sons. He turned his head and asked them, "Sheng'er, Ping'er, you are all injured. If you don't go back to the inner hall to rest first, I'll just come here to inquire."

The king of Jin shook his head and said, "Father, please rest assured that my son's wound is no more painful. My son will be here to accompany...father!"

Everyone knows about this meal, but I'm afraid he wants to accompany Chu Ruoxi!

Everyone was funny, but they didn't dare to show it. Emperor Yongle shook his head secretly and was about to tell the world his true nature, but his role was still so full.

The king of Rui came to his senses and said to Emperor Yongle, "Father, don't worry, I have nothing to do. Since my father personally supervises the assassin's affairs, whether you can allow me to listen on one side is also a chance to learn the father's holy way."

"All right!" Yongle Emperor no longer forced them.

Only when the little eunuch outside asked for instructions, the servant of Zhengde Temple had arrived.

Emperor Yongle ordered them to come in and reply. Chu Ruoxi's heart was stunned, and Lin Shuangqing also came.

I don't know why, when she saw Lin Shuangqing's style, which was a little inconvenient to walk, she entered. A delicate little woman instinctively raised her thorns like a frightened hedgehog - feeling the dangerous breath!

After Lin Shuangqing met the emperor, Emperor Yongle bowed his head faintly.

The queen's face was a little cold - it was this woman who made Zheng'er and Chu Zhicheng have a quarrel, so that the gully between Zheng'er and the Duke of Dingguo Mansion became bigger and bigger. Zheng'er and Chu Zhicheng both died tragically. She was ashamed to be here. What a disaster!

The strong resentment from the queen made Lin Shuangqing shiver and calm down. Her eyebrows flashed, and a faint sadness overflowed on her face, exuding my pitiful state, and she gently moved her footsteps and retreated quietly.

——The remnants of the Chu family, you won't be beautiful for a long time!

Lin Shuangqing lowered his eyebrows and looked at his toes, but he deeply hated the Chu family and Chu Yuanshan in his heart!

Emperor Yongle said a few warm words, and the words turned to the matter of Chu Ruoxi.

"By the way, Ruoxi went to Fengyi Palace to say goodbye to the queen. Why didn't Lin Shuangqing go to Fengyi Palace with her to visit the queen?"

His eyes turned from Chu Ruoxi to Lin Shuangqing, as if waiting for her to answer.

Lin Shuangqing's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he came out with a limping and returned to Emperor Yongle's words: "Your Majesty, the Empress, the minister originally accompanied the crown princess and went to say goodbye to the Empress, but the minister's blessing was weak. She broke her foot halfway and was worried about being rude in front of the Empress, but... she had to turn back halfway and did not accompany her. Go with the crown princess and ask the queen to punish her!"

"So that's it!" The queen answered lukewarmly and said to Emperor Yongle, "She said that she was blessed and was uneasy. Please ask the emperor to forget about this matter and don't care about her anymore."

Emperor Yongle didn't say much and looked at her feet. "It's also difficult for you. Have you seen the imperial doctor?"

"Thank you for your grace. I'm fine. I've been drugged."

"Ye, that's good. There were several assassin attacks in the palace today. I summoned you here today to ask the people in each palace where you were when the assassin assassinated, that is, after nightfall? Who has the certificate?"

Emperor Yongle coughed gently, "The assassin sneaked into the Jiaotai Hall. My bodyguard tracked the assassin to the Zhengde Hall. He suspected that Dong Fu, Ruoxi's guard, was an assassin, and even suspected that Ruoxi was a group of assassins. It is really difficult for me to believe that since you returned to Zhengde Hall early, it is naturally clear whether Ruoxi had it. After leaving Fengyi Palace, you went back to Zhengde Hall. You told me what happened in Zhengde Hall.

After Emperor Yongle finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the hall, and everyone's eyes fell on Lin Shuangqing.

Chu Ruoxi thought that she didn't have time to see Lin Shuangqing at all, so she was entangled by the assassin and the bodyguards in the palace. Lin Shuangqing's testimony may not have any effect. Although she was nervous, she was a little relieved.

Lin Shuangqing heard that Emperor Yongle suspected that Chu Ruoxi was an assassin and secretly looked at Chu Ruoxi. The two looked at each other, and her eyes were uneasy and unbearable, which shocked Chu Ruoxi. What does Lin Shuangqing want to do?

"If you return to the emperor's words, my court ladies..." Lin Shuangqing stopped talking and did not dare to look directly at the emperor. Chu Chu's poor appearance made many people present feel a trace of pity.

The queen resented her and couldn't see her "humei" look. "The emperor asked you to tell you the truth, but it's not a pleasure!"

"After returning to the emperor's words, after returning to the Zhengde Hall, the prince and the concubine and her party returned to the Zhengde Hall. His Royal Highness the King of Jin had slept peacefully, and the crown princess stayed in the side hall... The minister and the court lady dared to help the crown princess to plead. The crown princess was not an assassin. She stayed in the partial hall with her until the emperor's bodyguard I didn't go out to check it until I came to Zhengde Hall!"

Lin Shuangqing looked innocently at the Yongle Emperor with a gloomy face and summoned up the courage to say timidly, "Your Majesty, but what did the minister say wrong?"

Emperor Yongle did not speak with a cold face, and the queen's eyes gradually appeared. After glancing at her, she picked up the teacup on the table and drank tea.

Chu Ruoxi can't say anything, and she doesn't know whether Lin Shuangqing really helped her exof herself or deliberately framed herself with perjury.

I had previously told the emperor that he was assassinated before returning to the Zhengde Hall, but Lin Shuangqing said that he had been staying in the room and the guards and others came out. This does not mean that he was not assassinated at all...

"Miss Lin, are you sure that the crown princess has returned to her room and has no chance to assassinate her father?"

King Rui leaned forward slightly and his words were very easy-going. In Lin Shuangqing's eyes, he was as gentle as a modest gentleman, with the style of the prince of the day.

Lin Shuangqing raised the corners of his mouth and smiled a shallow smile: "Your Highness's words, the minister is telling the truth, princess..."

"Enough!" Chu Ruoxi patted her hand on the armchair and interrupted Lin Shuangqing, "Sister Shuangqing, I know that you have made this lie to help me get rid of the suspicion, but this matter is of great importance. You can't make up lies to fool the emperor, and I didn't go back to Zhengde Hall so soon. When I returned to Zhengde Hall, I was attacked by an assassin. If you have time, go back to the side hall to rest!"

Lin Shuangqing was drunk like this by Chu Ruoxi. He was a little overwhelmed. His eyes turned red and he muttered, "Princes, I...I..."

"How are you?" Prince Rui asked, "Miss Lin, don't be afraid. Your father should answer truthfully. Don't mislead others because of your private affairs. That's a big crime to bully you, and you have to behead."

"Ah!" Hearing this, Lin Shuangqing was shocked, and his knees softened and knelt down. "The emperor... The emperor is clear, and the minister dare not... dare not deceive the emperor. What the crown princess said is true. The crown princess did not... did not return to the side hall. The minister doesn't know whether she has been hunted down by an assassin. What the minister said is the truth. The crown princess is a good person, absolutely It won't be the murderer of the royal family. Please investigate clearly and don't let the crown princess go wrong.

Lin Shuangqing began to hesitate, as if he was afraid. Later, the more he talked, the smoother he became. However, on the contrary, Emperor Yongle and others felt that she was forced by the emperor's prestige and Chu Ruoxi's scolding, and they were afraid that they changed their words to Chu Ruoxi's will.

For a moment, Chu Ruoxi was pushed to the tip of the storm by her, and everyone's eyes were focused on her. It was not good for her to defend, and it was not good not to defend. She was so angry that she stared at Lin Shuangqing and defended to Emperor Yongle: "No matter what others say, please believe Ruoxi. I said the truth and did not deceive the emperor. ."

She also said to the queen: "Ruoxi intended to go to Fengyi Palace to see the queen. On the way, Sister Shuangqing sprained her foot and went back to the Zhengde Hall first. She asked the Empress to help Ruoxi testify. When will the assassin of the emperor be? Ruoxi went to Fengyi Palace for more than half an hour to go back to Zhengde Hall. When he arrived at the Zhengde Hall, he was targeted by the assassin, and then the emperor's bodyguards came to get people and asked Ruoxi where she had time to hand over the Tai Hall to do such a rebellious thing.

"What Ruoxi said is also reasonable, but..." Emperor Yongle's face sank and scolded the slave on duty in Zhengde Hall: "I know that today the palace sneaked into the assassin to assassinate, but you slaves neglect your master and enjoy yourself. Even Ruoxi was assassinated by no one to protect him. What's use me to raise you?"

"Your Majesty, spare my life, I... I deserve to die!"

Hula, the slaves of Zhengde Temple knelt on the ground and did not dare to complain. They questioned the emperor, but only kowtowed and gave mercy.
