Ling Luo standing beside her was trembling with worry, she really didn't know that her child would do such a stupid thing! I'm so impatient!
"King, please don't scare them, they are just children!" Ling Luo pleaded softly, hoping that Jinli could make this big and small matter small.
"This is the child you taught! Wait to be punished together!" kicked Lingluo away.
Jin Li didn't even look at Ling Luo, but turned around and walked up to Rong Bao'er, and asked in a low voice, "Are you scared? My father will accompany you back to the palace right now, and the canonization ceremony will be temporarily postponed."
Rong Bao'er smiled lightly and shook her head, "Daddy, I wasn't sitting on that float at the time, and the float was already burnt out when I got out, so I didn't feel scared."
When Beth and Bet walked over just now, Baoer Rong saw their expression as if they saw a ghost.
If Rong Bao'er's guess is correct, the reason why the float caught fire must be related to their siblings.
Rong Bao'er was a little puzzled, even if she came back, she would only be a princess, and she didn't want to come back to grab Bet's throne, why would they plan to play such a ruthless black hand?
Rong Baoer didn't bother to think about things that he couldn't figure out.
Perhaps, the royal family is so indifferent!
Seeing that there was no fear on Rong Baoer's face, Jin Li felt relieved, and said with a long sigh of relief, "It's a good thing you're fine, otherwise I really don't know how to face your concubine mother. Let's go and see look at her."
Jin Li accompanied Rong Bao'er to see Irene who was still sitting in the float, while Ling Luo knelt on the spot with tears streaming down her face.
She glared at Rong Bao'er fiercely, wishing to tear her apart with her eyes.
Rong Bao'er noticed that there was an unkind gaze behind her, and she didn't even need to look back to know that she was being hated again.
Forget it, no matter what she does, she can't change her grudges, so let the soldiers cover it up!
—————
The chief guard took Beth and Bet, who were crying, and led people to search their bedroom.
Everything in Beth's bedroom was normal, but when the chief guard came to Beth's bedroom, he saw the maid serving Beth running out in a hurry.
"Catch her!"
The chief guard ordered someone to arrest the little maid, and asked sharply, "You are in a panic, what are you going to do?"
The little palace maid was so frightened that her teeth chattered non-stop, she shrank her shoulders and said, "No... I'm not panicking."
As she spoke, her hands tightly held the small bundle on her shoulders.
The head guard winked, and one of the guards snatched the burden from the little palace lady's shoulders, shook it off and saw a piece of snow white,
"It's white phosphorus." The guard checked it carefully and said loudly, "White phosphorus will ignite spontaneously at a temperature of 40 degrees!"
The little maid was so frightened that her face turned pale, she waved her hands and stuttered, "It's not me, I didn't let it go, I don't know, I don't know anything!"
"Hmph! Take it away!" The chief guard waved his hand and led the people to take the little maid and the white phosphorous they found to the main hall.
The king was furious in the main hall at the moment, and the Taiwei and several ministers who came over heard the sound and lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.
Princess Irene, who was still wounded, sat on the concubine's seat in the main hall, Rong Baoer stood behind her, but Ling Luo could only stand in a corner of the hall.
Because in the main hall of the Golden Palace, there is no rule for sitting concubines.
"The spontaneous combustion of the float this time, the king must investigate and find out the truth, catch the murderer, and never let it go!" Jin Li, who was burning with anger, gave Ling Luo a vicious look, and already had doubts in his heart.
Lingluo's back was covered with cold sweat from being stared at, and she was worried secretly, for fear that any evidence would be found from Beth or Bet's residence.
But what she was afraid of, she just came here.
I saw the chief guard leading a group of guards to the main hall, and behind him was the little maid who served Beth.
Ling Luo was frightened for a while, and before she had time to sort out her panic, she heard the chief guard say what she was most afraid of.
"King, this is the little maid serving Princess Beth. When we searched Princess Beth's bedroom, we found that she was leaving in a hurry." As he spoke, the head guard took out the small bag of white phosphorous that he had found. We found a small half bag of white phosphorus on his body. The natural temperature of white phosphorus is very low, only forty degrees. If a large area is placed on the roof of the float, it can easily ignite the entire float under the sunlight."
The words of the chief guard changed the expressions of all the people present. Jinli stepped down from the king's throne, reached out to pick up the bag of white phosphorous and looked at it.
After he confirmed that it was white phosphorus, he angrily threw the small half-pack of white phosphorus at the shivering court lady kneeling on the ground, "Hurry up and tell the truth, I will spare you!"
The little palace maid had never seen such a scene, she almost fainted from being hit, and burst into tears, "King, king, it's none of my business! It's Princess Beth, she asked her maid to buy the white phosphorous, and then she and Bet The little prince sprinkled together on the top of the float. It's really none of my business!"
Lingluo trembled with anger, walked over and gave the little palace maid a hard kick, "Aren't you tired of working, you little bastard? How dare you frame the princess and the prince?"
The little maid was kicked, and couldn't bear the fear in her heart anymore, she rolled her eyes and passed out.
Jin Li was so angry that he yelled at Ling Luo, "Ling Luo! This is the main hall, not a place where you punish court ladies in private! This king is questioning, so you don't have the right to intervene!"
Ling Luo was so trained that she quickly knelt on the ground, "Don't be angry, the king, I just heard that this little maid actually framed Beth and Beth, in a moment of urgency..."
"Framed?" Jinli squinted his eyes, his disgust was palpable, "She is serving Beth personally, will she kill herself and frame the princess?"
Ling Luo was so anxious that her face turned pale, "King, please don't listen to those lowly maidservants! They are full of lies and can't be counted."
"Then how can we count?" Jin Li approached Ling Luo step by step, staring at her with sharp eyes, and snapped, "Should I grab their hands on the spot, so that counts?!"
Lingluo was in cold sweat from being questioned, no matter in the east or the west, as a concubine, she could not interfere in political affairs, let alone question the king's judgment.
Captain Rock couldn't stand on the sidelines any longer. He absolutely couldn't let Bate be convicted of framing the eldest princess!
Rock hurriedly knelt on the ground and said seriously, "King, this matter is serious and has a bad impact. You must not believe what the little maid said, you must..."
Before the Taiwei finished speaking, Jin Li stared at him with a dark face, "Otherwise, who said it? You?"
The Taiwei lowered his head in embarrassment, but he had to bite the bullet and continue, "The eldest princess' float spontaneously ignited for no reason, and this little palace lady recruited it without asking. I feel that something is wrong."
"Bring me Beth and Bet!" Jinli didn't bother to argue with them any longer, and ordered the chief guard to lead them, preparing for a face-to-face confrontation.
