Chapter 45: Xiang Minghou was framed
“Pang Tuan, your father looks so fierce.” Nan Xiang whispered.
Before Ye Qianning could speak, she was taken over by the princess: "Fat Tuan is a general who goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Xiang'er, you have to remember that you can have such a comfortable life now because of many people like People like Fat Tuan will protect Beili again."
"Yes." Nan Xiang nodded as if he understood.
"When will the Princess's birthday party begin?" Ye Qianning asked.
"It will take a while. Let's go. I'll take you to greet the old princess first. All the female relatives should be over there now."
"Princess, I won't go." Ye Qianning knelt down and kowtowed when seeing people the most. She would avoid them if she could.
"Let's come together. There are many people in Prince Helian's palace today. If we get separated after a while, how will I explain to your father." Princess Changyang was worried.
"It's okay, I'll just stay in front. You can see me when the princess comes out."
"This..." Princess Changyang was in a dilemma.
"Mom, if not, I'll stay with Fat Tuan." Nan Xiang said.
"The old princess has talked about you many times. It's okay if you don't go."
"Princess, please go ahead. I'm not used to this kind of situation. I get nervous when there are many people. And I promise not to run around." Ye Qianning patted her chest and promised.
Princess Changyang saw that she was indeed resisting, so she didn't insist. She was worried and warned: "Don't run around. I will take Xiang'er in to greet the old princess and then come out."
"Okay." Ye Qianning nodded obediently.
Princess Changyang led Nanxiang towards the backyard.
Although Ye Qianning didn't like this kind of occasion, now that she was here, she was ready to be a six-year-old child. She randomly found a place with fewer people and lay down on the ground.
I didn't sleep well this morning, so I can catch up on my sleep in ten minutes.
"Hurry, it's not good, it's not good..."
"Physician, please call the physician quickly."
As soon as Ye Qianning closed her eyes, she was woken up by panicked noises. Guards, maids, servants, and birthday congratulators were all in a mess. She opened her eyes and looked sideways, then fell asleep again. What happened seemed to have nothing to do with her.
"Quick doctor..."
"Oh, what happened, who was injured."
"It's Marquis Xiang Ming. He actually assassinated the old prince. Hurry up..."
Ye Qianning, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened them, stood up, and disappeared from the spot.
The backyard was already surrounded by guards. Many people were waiting eagerly in the yard for the guards in the room to surround Xiang Minghou.
"General Xiang, you'd better surrender without mercy."
"General, I am sitting upright. The poison was not caused by me. Have you surrounded the wrong person?" Xiang Minghou was very calm.
"Who else but you? I heard with my own ears that you and the prince had an argument, and then the prince was poisoned and fell to the ground." The boy accused angrily.
When the old princess arrived and saw such a scene, she was so frightened that she fainted on the spot.
"This general said that the poison was not caused by me." Xiang Minghou said without changing his expression.
"We won't know until we investigate whether General Xiang is the murderer. Before that, please cooperate with General Xiang." The captain of the guard said.
"It's okay to check, but everyone in the back courtyard is suspected. Why are you holding on to this general?" Xiang Minghou did not expect to encounter such a troublesome thing just after returning to Beijing.
The person behind it had made a plan and had been in the game since he was in the backyard today.
"you…"
"You guys stand down first." Prince Helian walked out of the crowd.
"See you, Your Majesty." The guard saluted.
