Chapter 257

"What the hell is going on?" The Empress Dowager and Zhenguo general Zhou Che rushed to protect Zhou mei'er in their arms,

as Zhou mei'er fainted and was carried away by the imperial doctor, Zhou Che angrily scolded, "Miss Tang, my little girl mei'er has no intention of competing for the throne of princess. That's just the Empress Dowager's idea, and you have been appointed Regent princess, why do you want to kill her?"

Words fall, Zhou Che kneels on the ground to Shen Ming and Empress Dowager kowtow, "beg empress dowager, beg Regent king to make the decision for the little girl!"

All of a sudden, Tang Qingru did not understand the situation, as if someone had been charged with murder.

Tang Qingru sneered, "which eye of you saw me kill?"

She light tone, very disdainful, see the side of Zhou Meier's close maidservant immediately wail.

"General, the general wants to make decisions for the young lady. The Regent not only pushes the young lady down, but also refuses to admit her own behavior. The young lady's life is miserable. Our young lady's life is really miserable!"

Her ears were full of the maidservant's crying voice. People who didn't know the actual situation made Tang Qingru a shameless murderer for the first time and pointed at her one after another.

What else does Tang Qingru want to say, but Shen Ming has come to her for the first time and whispers, "I believe you." Words fall, his deep and fierce eyes look at the maidservant of Zhou mei'er, "this king's princess is asking you words, which eye do you see is she killed?"

The maid was surprised, obviously did not expect to be asked by the Regent himself, she was submissive, shivering, "Lord, don't defend the princess, the maid saw with her own eyes that the princess pushed my lady into the lake! Miss is not water-based. If someone hadn't rescued her just now, she would have died in it. The princess didn't kill her on purpose. What's that

Ruyan was angry and laughed by the girl, "I said that this little sister, you and I are both maidservants. It's right to fight against injustice for your master. But how can you open your eyes and tell lies? Did your master jump in by himself or was pushed down by my girl? Do you know in your heart that if you lie, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking at the door in the middle of the night?"

Hearing such a curse, the maid shivered and immediately cried. She cried to her general, "the general wants to make decisions for the young lady, and the general wants to make decisions for the young lady."

Today, she was rejected by the Regent, which made her lose face. Now she was confronted with the situation that her daughter's life and death were unknown. Zhou Che was very angry. "How can you insult my Meier like that? Do you mean my Meier is framing your princess?"

"Yes, Miss Tang, you have been granted the title of imperial concubine, but you are cruel to the innocent Miss Zhou. It's really cruel of you to do so. Why on earth do you do this?" The Empress Dowager slants her lips and is dissatisfied with calculation in her beautiful eyes.

If Tang Qingru guesses correctly, it is the Empress Dowager who plans all this.

But why doesn't she want to marry Shen Ming herself?

Although Tang Qingru is curious, she also knows that it's not the time to tangle with these things. She looks at the place where Zhou Meier fell into the lake, and at her maid who is still crying. She asks in a cold voice, "you say I pushed her into the lake and insisted that I was the murderer who killed your young lady. Then you say, why do I do this?"

The maid wiped the tears off her face and said, "of course, I'm worried that the prince will change his mind and change my name to be my wife."

Tang Qingru thought it was funny, "well, even if it's such an idea, am I going to kill? Besides, is your lady dead? You call me a murderer? "

The maid was frightened by his fierce momentum. She opened her mouth and shivered for a long time, unable to say a complete word.

General Zhou angrily denounced, "presumptuous! Regent princess, you know my little girl doesn't have water, but you push her out of the lake. What are you not murdering? If you admit your fault, I can see that I don't care with you in the face of the Regent, but if you don't admit it... "

"So what?" Tang Qingru raised her head and looked at Zhou Che, "general Zhou is going to push me down the lake?"

"You..." Zhou Che was speechless with her anger.

Just now, they were listening to the eunuch's imperial edict to canonize the three armed forces at the banquet. Suddenly, they heard that someone had been murdered here. They rushed to the banquet and found that it was their daughter, and she had fainted at that time.

He was very distressed, but at the same time, he was also very upset. When he heard the maidservant's words, he was only angry at the bottom of his heart.

This Regent princess is too cruel, how can she do such a thing to her innocent daughter? The key is that she does not admit it and is so arrogant!

"Regent! I admit that I have no grudge with you in the past, and I have no grudge with you recently. And the decision of marriage is just the thought of the Empress Dowager. You don't like the little girl, but your princess pushed my little girl into the lake, which made her life and death unknown. Please ask the regent to give me an account! "

Zhou Che is a general of Zhenguo. He is old, but he has a strong voice. It seems that a roar can make the floor tremble three times.

But Shen Ming didn't pay attention to him at all. "You all say that my ru'er pushed her to fall into the lake. Is there any evidence?"

"I saw it with my own eyes!" Zhou Meier's maid jumped out again.Ruyan also stood up, "you're lying! I was standing behind the girl at that time. We walked across in a staggered way, and your lady jumped in by herself! "

"You're lying!" After pointing at Ruyan, Zhou Meier's maidservant immediately cried out, "general, the maidservant of the princess naturally talks to the princess. The real liars are them!"

Tang Qingru was amused by the maidservant's words, "you said my maidservant is toward me, then you are not toward your lady?"

"Maidservant..." Zhou Meier's maidservant didn't expect Tang Qingru to be so eloquent. She couldn't think of a reply for a moment.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager stood up again and said, "is it the princess Regent who pushes Miss Zhou into the lake? When Zhou mei'er wakes up, she will know, but this matter involves the prince after all, so she will give it to Jingzhao Fu Yin to solve it."

At the Empress Dowager's command, someone immediately called Jingzhao Fu Yin into the palace. But what she did was to arrest Tang Qingru?

She didn't do anything, but she had to be arrested. I'm afraid that after entering the prison, she would simply come out alive.

Tang Qingru suddenly understood what "I haven't proved myself innocent. Why is the Empress Dowager so anxious to catch me? Besides, don't you want to know how Miss Zhou fell into the lake? "

The Empress Dowager opened her mouth to scold, but general Zhou took the lead. "The murderer is you. How do you prove your innocence?"

"Of course I have my way, but..." Tang Qingru snorted coldly, "if I can prove that I am not a murderer, I want all of you here to apologize to me!"

"Why?" General Zhou was the first to be dissatisfied.

"Just because she is the princess of the king, the future Regent princess!" Shen Ming's high pitched voice rang out in the crowd, and he took her into his arms.

Tang Qingru knows that even if she doesn't prove herself innocent today, Shen Ming will find a way to get rid of him, but this is the first day she sits on the throne of princess. She can't be publicized. She has a reputation for being evil minded!

"I just came to the pavilion of the Royal Garden from the banquet, and some maids sent me cakes. My maids and I all ate those cakes, and you all said that I pushed her to fall into the lake, so just check whether there are oil stains on Miss Zhou's clothes, and you can see if the murderer is me!"

Tang Qingru's light words explained leisurely that a group of people around nodded in favor of such a way.

Shen Ming raises his eyes and immediately asks the eunuch to take the cake from the pavilion. It turns out that it is a newly fried cake.

He touched it with his hands, then wiped it with his handkerchief, and found that it couldn't be wiped off.

Shen Ming raised his lips. "As you can see, this oil stain can't be wiped off without special treatment. If it's my ru'er's hand, there must be traces on Miss Zhou's clothes." He said, "come on, go and get Miss Zhou's clothes."

"Wait!" The Empress Dowager scolded. Her eyes kept blinking. It seemed that she was deliberately hiding something. Her speaking speed was faster and faster. "It's just a simple oil stain. How can we judge that she is not the murderer? Besides, if the clothes fall into water, what if the oil stain is washed off? And what if she didn't use her hands and her legs? "

In her last sentence, Zhou Meier's maidservant understood the words on purpose.

"yes, you didn't push my lady into the lake at all. You tripped my lady with your feet. You are the murderer!"

The maidservant's voice was not big, but very sharp. She pointed to Tang Qingru's face, and her face was firm.

Just didn't wait for Tang Qingru to get angry, her pretty hands had been broken by smoke.

As soon as she spoke, she quickly moved to the maidservant in front of her at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Her right hand exerted a little force. With a bang, her fingers broke.

In the maid's scream voice, Ruyan roared, "you just said it was pushed down, but now it's tripped. I think you are the right murderer. You deliberately lured your master here and pushed her into the guard to frame my young lady. You said, who are you ordered by?"

"Ah The maid is still screaming because of the severed finger, "pain, so pain, you let me go!"

Zhou Che was blinded by the scene. He didn't know who to believe. However, seeing that Tang Qingru's maid was so presumptuous and dared to hurt others in front of the Empress Dowager and the Regent, he still decided that she was the murderer.

"Regent princess, even if you are not a murderer, you can't hurt people casually. Please let your maid go."

"My maid has never been reckless, but once someone endangers my life, she will never let that person go!"

Tang Qingru didn't look at anyone. Instead, she looked at Shen Ming and said, "Lord, you promised me that you would protect me at any time. Ruyan is teaching me a lesson to the thief who framed me. Should she let go?"

"Of course not!"
