"Yes." Two mama who followed them out of the palace walked forward, one of them firmly held onto Hui Zhi, the other touched her body, and indeed took out a round jade pendant, similar to what Xi Qiu described.
Zhou Chengdi took the jade pendant and placed it in his hand. Then, he slowly clenched his fist.
"Your majesty, this is enough to prove that the Fourth Prince was wrongly accused. Not only has the Fourth Prince been wronged, but his filial piety has been misinterpreted. Some people even disobey the empress dowager's imperial decree and frame the emperor. They even keep deceiving the emperor in every possible way." Xiao Zhenhai's knees bent and he kneeled on the ground. His eyes were bloodshot. Now, he was the Fourth Prince's father-in-law. His father-in-law spoke for his son-in-law's sake!
It was time to see if the ninth prince had a chance to make a comeback! The three sons of the Xiao family looked at each other with a smile in their eyes.
Everything that had happened today had happened in an instant. The ninth prince and Lian Ruyue must have been unprepared. Even if they tried to think of a way, so what if the witness was in front of the emperor?
Even though the Fourth Prince was in prison, his scheme was enough to make the greatest enemy fall from a high vantage point, and cause Lian Ruyue, the crafty girl, to fall to the ground!
"Men! Capture Jiu Zi Feng Yun Zheng, the direct daughter of the Lian family, and this palace maid and bring them back to the palace. The Ministry of Justice will interrogate them tomorrow!"
At Emperor Zhou's order, Jiang Keji and the guards walked in front of Feng Yunzheng and Lian Xiangyue. However, when the guards arrived in front of the two of them, they did not dare to make a move.
He calmly extended his hands towards Jiang Keji as he said, "Since it's because of Imperial Father's orders, this son will definitely obey, but this son has never committed such a heinous crime. I hope Imperial Father can give this son my innocence."
Lian Meng took two steps forward and said, "Your majesty, the Ninth Prince and my sister must have been wrongly accused! This palace maid has never appeared in the Prime Minister's Estate before, so everything that has happened today must have been arranged beforehand. "
"Yes, Your Majesty. Lian Fu said exactly what this subject wanted to say. I have never seen this Hui Zhi in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Even Ru Yue, your maid from the Prime Minister's Estate saw this and even identified your jade pendant. Do you still want to quibble? Are you looking down on the Emperor?" Xiao Zhenhai saw that Lian Yue was still trying to argue for him, so he said coldly, "Lian Xiang, your daughter is really not simple. She actually dared to tease the Emperor.
Lian Yan Qing's expression was solemn and his forehead was locked. Today, the Emperor had come to pay attention to him, an important official in the imperial court, but before he left, he wanted to capture his daughter —
Today's birthday banquet was truly a feast for the heart!
He focused his mind, stepped forward, and said, "Your majesty, the Ninth Prince has a strong character and a reputation. His majesty has always been fair and upright, receiving praise for his actions.
"Father!" Lian Ru Yue suddenly bent her knees and knelt in front of Lian Yan Qing. "It's my daughter who is unfilial, I'll let father worry about it!"
Saying that, she straightened up and looked at Hui Zhi again, "You disorderly slave, today is my father's birthday, it's a good day, but you are with the adulterers, framing me, making my father happy and bad. I won't forgive you today, I will personally teach you a lesson, but I want to ask who made you do this!"
As she spoke, she was about to rush in front of Hui Zhi, but she was held back by the guards.
Xiao Zhenhai looked at Lian Xiuyue's crazy appearance and the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile!
For some reason, that bodyguard holding Lian Meng Yue tightly, suddenly felt his arm go numb, as if he was hit by something. His hand couldn't help but loosen, Lian Ru Yue took the opportunity to rush out, running towards the side of Hui Zhi.
The guard turned his head abruptly but didn't see anything. He only saw the calm side of the ninth prince's face.
He saw Lian Ruyue grab Hui Zhi with both hands and shake him, "Speak, tell me why you want to harm me, and why are you destroying my royal father's good birthday feast?"
Hui Zhi was shaken until his brain became muddled. She begged again and again, saying, "Eldest Miss, this servant has no other way, I can't continue to deceive you. This servant, this servant …"
"Pah!" Lian Ruyue didn't say anything, raised her hand and ruthlessly slapped Hui Zhi's face. A burst of panic flashed across Hui Zhi's eyes, his face turned to the side, and that hair covered half of his face.
"Pah!" She raised her hand and slapped again, and the other side of her face was turned away again.
Lian Ruyue, who was always calm and composed, had never been seen her lose her composure like this. Even her mother and Yan Qing were stunned.
"Lian Rue Yue, the Emperor is here. What are you doing?" When Xiao Shan saw this, he walked out and coldly snorted. "No matter how crazy you are, you still can't change the fact that you framed the Fourth Prince and deceived the Emperor!"
"Slut!" "Tell me, who told you to do this, tell me!" Before Lian Ruyue could vent her anger, she raised her hand and slapped him again.
"Where did this slave of yours come from, to frame my family's eldest miss!" At this time, Qing Dai, who was at the side, clenched her teeth and also ran over to pull on Hui Zhi's hair.
Taixu, who had the strongest strength, couldn't help but walk over and clawed at Hui Zhi's face with her hands like claws. "Bad news for our Young Miss's reputation, I won't forgive you. I'll risk my life to accompany you!"
Senior Servant Tai's hand randomly grabbed Hui Zhi's face.
"Ah, no, no!" Hui Zhi quickly covered his face with his hands and waved.
"It's the opposite!" It was the opposite! "Someone, take these lawless servants and lock them in the prison!" When Xiao Zhenhai saw this, he immediately ordered the guards around him.
Seeing the guards walk over, Senior Servant Tai seemed unwilling to accept the outcome. She used both hands to grab hold of Hui Zhi's face and pulled forcefully. Suddenly —
Ah!" "Ahhh!" Senior Servant Tai looked at the object in her hand and shrieked loudly. She was so frightened that her legs went limp. She fell onto the ground and flung the object out of her hands. "What, what's this?
That item was thrown into the air and dropped to the ground with a thud. It landed right beside Zhou Chengdi's feet. The crowd lowered their heads and looked at it.
Ah!" "Yes, yes, it's human skin, human skin, human skin!" Liu Xi Ren bent down and used his hand to poke at the wound, then screamed out in fear, and his face turned pale as he retreated.
Human skin?
Xiao Zhenhai was stunned! The third son of the Xiao family was also stunned!
Zhou Cheng Di lowered his head and looked at his feet. His heart chilled. It really was a piece of human skin. Senior Servant Tai looked at his hands, which were still trembling in fear.
What was going on?
Everyone looked at Hui Zhi!
She lowered her head, her face completely covered by her black hair.
