Qing Mei trembled violently, tears streaming down her face, and she sobbed, "they had the princess's child aborted, and then they brandished a sword on the princess' neck. I was so scared that they insulted me, and they locked me up with the princess. When they were asleep beside me, I ran out with the princess. It was just that I wanted the princess to escape with me. The Imperial Palace has no way to enter for us. It occurred to me that the head of court of justice is in charge of such cases. Last time, she was locked in the prison of justice by the Head of the Court of Justice, so I brought her there. But as soon as I arrived at the door, I fainted... "
After a long time, the Qing Mei restrained her emotions a little. She kowtowed to Emperor Ning and said, "Your Majesty, please help us. Please help the princess."
Emperor Ning kept silent for a long time. Then he turned to the head of court of justice and said, "send someone to Prince Jing's mansion to invite Princess Yun Shang here."
The head of the court of justice was surprised. He didn't know why Princess Yun Shang should be invited here. After a moment's silence, he replied, "yes, your majesty." Then he walked aside and ordered the servants to do so.
When the eunuch took the order to see Yun Shang, Emperor Ning sat silently and tapped the arm of the chair as if he was absorbed in thought. The head of court of justice frowned when he saw Princess Hua Jing's corpse and the maid who was sobbing on the ground and almost fainted.
About half an hour later, Yun Shang slowly walked in from outside in a leisurely pace. After coming in, she went to Emperor Ning and bowed, "father, you are s
ly, "but..."
Then she paused and looked up at emperor Ning and said. "Father, would you like to go to my mansion and have a talk with the two guests about this? Maybe, you can find something there? "
Hearing this, Emperor Ning glanced at Yun Shang. He thought for a moment, and finally nodded his head. "You are right. It is indeed time for me to meet them." Then he stood up and said to the head of court of justice, "send the corpse of Princess Hua Jing back to the Princess Palace. I'll arrange for someone to settle down, and this maid should also go back. Send some bodyguards to protect her well, and don't let anyone take advantage of it."
The head of the court of Justice said yes. Seeing that emperor Ning was about to leave, he followed him. Emperor Ning glanced at him and said, "you don't have to meddle in this case. Just stay here." Then he walked out of the wing room.
The head of the court of justice could not help but frown. 'what does his majesty mean by that?' Was it because his majesty had already known the culprit, or perhaps he didn't care at all about Princess Hua Jing's death?
