Chapter 42

For example, the prince is weak and can't live long. His majesty has no children at his knees, and the concubines of the Imperial Palace haven't been out for many years. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the imperial court, one of the sons of the imperial family should be adopted as a prince in the future

However, in terms of intimacy and estrangement, King Jing and his majesty today are born by the same mother, and King Jing's son may become one of the candidates.

These are certainly statements that cannot be put on the bright side, but they are not impossible.

Could it be that the news that Princess Rong was pregnant recently made the prince Jing, who had hoped for this, lose his mind and make impulsive things under the influence of drunkenness?

Officials thought like this in their hearts. Just now the prince suddenly died, and seeing King Shizi's uneasy and flustered appearance, there were sad and angry literary ministers who said their ideas speculatively.

Jing Shizi became more and more flustered.

He admitted that... He really hoped that the prince would die earlier!

The prince is dead. He can't say he really has a chance to replace him

But this kind of hope is only limited to muttering in my heart. To be more bold, it is burning incense... I never thought of seriously murdering the crown prince for this!

After all, people live in the world, who doesn't have a dream?

It's like everyone is looking forward to picking up gold, but if they really can't find it, they can't just think of killing and robbing!

Heaven can learn. He is really just an ordinary person with a dream, but he doesn't intend to take risks for this dream. He just firmly waits for the pie to fall from the sky, which is called daydreaming for short——

Under the gaze of many eyes, Jing Shizi explained hurriedly and disorderly.

At this time, a forbidden army came quickly.

"I found this jade pendant by Fuyun pool!"

Li Ji quickly took the jade pendant and presented it to Emperor Qingming.

Emperor Qingming changed his face with one look.

The sample of this jade pendant can only be used by the children of Xie family——

Emperor Qingming looked at the empty waist of King Jing's son, and there was restrained anger in his voice: "Shengchang, where's your jade pendant?"

King Shizi subconsciously probes into his waist——

"Your Majesty..."

King Shizi's face was no longer drunk or bloody. He fell on his knees with a thump and said in great panic: "Your Majesty, someone must want to frame his nephew!"

Now, no matter how slow he was, he realized that someone had set up a bureau for him to make him carry the capital crime of murdering the crown prince!

"Frame up..."

Emperor Qingming, holding the relief on the chair handle, slowly stood up, tightened his lips for a moment, and said in a condensed voice, "I naturally hope so!"

"... I hope your majesty can find out the truth and return your nephew's innocence!" Jing Wang's son cried out with no manners and said indiscriminately: "before entering Beijing, my father told my nephew to keep himself in line and not to cause trouble to your majesty. My nephew has always kept it in mind. How dare he do such treacherous things!"

He didn't dare to hide any more: "my nephew left the table before, but he saw that the maid in charge of pouring wine for my nephew was beautiful and often made eyes at my nephew... My nephew was drunk and confused for a moment, so he followed the maid in charge to the garden... But he never saw his highness at all!"

At present, the jade pendant may not have been stolen by the palace maid when he was unprepared!

At first, he didn't tell the story because it was just a matter of face and reputation. Now he will lose his life. What's the matter of face!

But with all the human and material evidence, this is like a sophistry lie.

Emperor Qingming didn't know how much he believed. He looked at him and said, "you didn't do it. I will never allow anyone to slander and provoke. If you did it, I won't be soft hearted and spare! Someone, take King Shizi down to take strict care of him. Don't leave the palace until the matter is found out."

Xu Mingyi looked at the scene and his eyes changed.

The previous king's son should have been strictly guarded. Within a few days, the other party confessed to the murder of the crown prince

Now that he has "confessed himself", it is natural that all the next disposal should be taken for granted.

However, at present, she gradually felt that Jing Shizi, who previously seemed guilty, was just a scapegoat for others.

In other words, both the crown prince and the king's son were in the calculation of the people behind them early in the morning.

If the prince really dies, all this will undoubtedly become a mystery.

But now it's destined to be different——

Xu Mingyi did seem to give up and pulled out the silver needles that pierced the boy's body one by one.

After she pulled out the last silver needle, a moment later, the boy's eyelashes trembled and made a faint cough.

A forbidden army came forward to escort the king's son. All the people who paid attention here did not notice the subtle voice.

But the Duke of the town was surprised and said, "Your Highness?"

The crowd immediately gathered their eyes.

The prince opened his eyes difficultly and weakly, and looked at the surprised old face, with a brief loss.

"Xu... General Xu?"

"Your Highness is alive!"

The town Lord shouted excitedly.

"What..."

"The prince woke up?!"

The palace people and officials were shocked. Emperor Qingming's pupils tightened, his face perked up and strode over.

"Sheng'er!"

Several imperial doctors came forward incredulously, carefully explored the pulse for the prince again, and slowly held the man up.

"Your Highness!"

King Shizi broke away from the forbidden army, stumbled on him, and wept with joy as he watched the Prince "come back from the dead".

The prince looked at his cousin, who was crying with tears and a runny nose, and fell into a daze again - when was his relationship with his cousin so good?

At this time, the cousin looked at him excitedly and eagerly and said, "Your Highness, since you are awake, please make it clear to your majesty quickly, or you can return my innocence!"

The prince was perplexed.

Li Ji repeated the general story.

"...." the prince listened to these words, and the picture before the accident gradually came back to his mind. He recalled that his face became more and more pale and terrible, and his hands could not stop shaking.

Emperor Qingming looked at his son and asked, "sheng'er, tell your father who hurt you? You can see clearly -"

With those loving, angry and dignified eyes, the boy slightly grasped his trembling fingers, opened his mouth and said after a while: "father... It's not my cousin who pushed my son's minister into the water... My son's minister hasn't seen my cousin tonight..."

There was a sudden uproar.

... not to the prince!

King Shizi heard this. His tight body suddenly softened. His already soft legs suddenly had no strength. He immediately fell to the ground and was crying with joy again.

Woo woo, his life is saved!

If it were not for the atmosphere, he really wanted to kowtow to the prince's cousin on the spot—— It's so timely!

No, no

The prince's cousin just told the truth. He should thank the girl who saved people!

King Shizi looked at Xu Mingyi. Seeing the girl's appearance, he thanked him from the bottom of his heart - the reincarnation of a fairy!

"Who is it, not Shengchang?" emperor Qingming continued.

The prince clung to the Queen's sleeve and slowly turned his head.
