Chapter 232

Princess Xi died outside the palace. The news came into the palace. The emperor was furious, and Princess Yi fainted on the spot.

Dali Temple secretary was ordered to go to the scene for investigation and drove away all the people who were watching at the scene at the first time.

After Wuzuo inspected the scene, he took the body of the eleventh Princess back to Dali temple.

As the handmaid of the eleventh Princess and the only witness, Xiaocui and the suspect Qu Ling also ordered people to take them back for interrogation.

Chen Linye, who had just returned from Xiaoqi camp, was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out.

Immediately turn the horse's head and rush to Dali temple.

At that time, Qu Ling was kneeling in the middle of the hall. On the high seat sat the serious Dali Temple secretary. There was silence inside and outside the hall.

Quling and Xiaocui have told all the events before and after the death of the eleventh princess. Quling has an alibi, but Xiaocui bites that Quling killed the eleventh princess.

This matter concerns the royal family, and the Secretary of Dali Temple dare not make a decision easily.

Hesitation, outside the hall came a notification voice: "the prince arrived, the eighth Prince arrived."

The Secretary of Dali Temple hurriedly got up and led a group of subordinates to salute: "Your Highness has met the crown prince and the eighth prince."

The prince falsely raised his hand and said in a low voice, "flat."

Dali Temple Qing was about to speak. Xiaocui climbed to the foot of the eighth Prince and cried, "Your Highness, you must avenge the princess!"

The eighth Prince showed a painful color on his face, kicked away Xiaocui, and said in a harsh voice: "bold bitch, if you didn't take Yan'er out of the palace, how could she suffer this disaster!"

Xiaocui was kicked staggered, rolled to one side, covered the kicked place and cried in pain.

The prince went to Qu Ling's side and looked at her with complex eyes.

In the whole hall, for a moment, only Xiaocui's painful voice could be heard.

Dali Temple Secretary dutifully informed the crown prince and the eighth Prince of Qu Ling and Xiaocui's confession. Finally, he said, "there are doubts about this matter. The lower official will find out this matter as soon as possible."

Qu Ling, who had been silent, suddenly raised her head and said, "I don't understand one thing."

The prince answered. The prince said in a warm voice, "you say."

Qu Ling turned and asked Xiaocui, "all the people in Qijing know that I don't deal with Princess 11. Why did Princess 11 come to me for help after she left the palace?"

Hearing the speech, the Secretary of Dali temple made a fierce look in her eyes and shouted to Xiaocui, "please tell the truth!"

Xiaocui, who had just slowed down, was stunned by the roar. After returning to her senses, she subconsciously looked at the eighth prince.

The sudden cold eyes of the eighth Prince suddenly raised a sense of fear in the bottom of my heart.

Before others found out that he was different, he hurriedly bowed his head and stammered, "Gong... There are no... Friends outside the Princess Palace, but can talk to Mrs. Xiao."

Speaking of this, Xiaocui suddenly looks at Qu Ling, and tears flow out of her red and swollen eyes again. "Mrs. Xiao didn't promise to help at first, but just left the alley, she turns back and says she wants to tell the princess a way out of the city. As a result... As a result..."

The prince suddenly said, "eleven found Mrs. Xiao by herself. Mrs. Xiao has no motive to kill eleven. I believe Mrs. Xiao."

The eighth Prince frowned, turned back and said in a cold voice, "brother Huang's words are chilling. He has a lot of friends with Mrs. Xiao, but Xi is also your own sister!"

The prince said, "I'm not partial to Mrs. Xiao. Since the 11th thief ran out of the palace to find Mrs. Xiao for help, I must trust Mrs. Xiao from the bottom of my heart. I just trust my sister."

Seeing that the two princes were about to quarrel before the case was found out, the Secretary of Dali Temple immediately said, "there are still doubts about this matter. First detain Mrs. Xiao and her maidservant Xiaocui as a prison, and make a decision after the matter is found out."

Xiao, who was standing outside the courthouse, was in a hurry when he heard that the Dali Temple Secretary wanted to imprison his mother.

Their mistress is in poor health. She can't stand the cold of the prison. I'm afraid she'll get sick before she finds out the truth.

At this time, Xiao Yi couldn't help thinking that if the master were here, he would not let the master's mother go to heaven.

"Xiao Yi." Chen Linye appeared behind Xiao Yi and patted him on the shoulder.

As soon as Xiao looked back, he hurriedly said, "General Chen, please think of a way to save your wife."

Chen Linye looked into the hall and whispered, "go back first."

All of a sudden, there is no other way at the moment. Qu Ling is doomed to this prison disaster.

The only thing they can do is to discuss countermeasures as soon as possible and find a way to prove Qu Ling's innocence.

At the same time, the palace was in a mess.

The Japanese emissary who had spent enough time in the capital had planned to go back on Japan tomorrow and get ready to marry Princess 11. Suddenly, this happened. The Japanese Prince immediately took people into the palace to ask for an explanation.

The hall was noisy for a time. The Japanese prince, together with imperial concubine Yi, the queen and Prime Minister Jiang, made the emperor's head collapse.

Li Guifei stood aside and looked on coldly.

After a while of noise, the Japanese Prince angrily said, "my fiancee died in your country. If you don't give us an explanation, see you on the battlefield!"

War between the two countries is a major event. If there is no war, try not to go to war.

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, the courtiers present immediately comforted the Japanese envoys.

The Japanese Prince did not want to be hostile to Qi. He listened patiently without saying a word.

But the Japanese Princess couldn't help saying, "we heard before we entered the palace that Mrs. Xiao killed the eleventh princess. As long as you are willing to kill Mrs. Xiao and choose another princess for my brother, we won't investigate any more."

Prime Minister Jiang immediately said, "although the granddaughter of the old minister likes to play and make some noise on weekdays, she always knows her discretion. She has never done anything special, and she will never do anything to harm people's lives."

Imperial concubine Yi was immediately unhappy and cried, "who doesn't know that Qu Ling and Yan'er never deal with it! She must have killed my Yan'er!"

Prime Minister Jiang looked friendly, but he was not a vegetarian. He sarcastically said, "if Princess 11 finally got into trouble with ah Ling, how could ah Ling not deal with her!"

"Emperor, you see, Prime Minister Jiang didn't deny that Qu Ling killed Yan'er!" Princess Yi immediately complained.

The emperor waved his hand with a headache and said impatiently, "well, stop arguing."

The two men immediately fell silent.

The Japanese prince was not interested in watching them fight among themselves and took the opportunity to resign.

After the Japanese emissary left, Shaoqing of Dali temple, who was sent into the palace by the Dali Temple Qing, also arrived.

After saluting the people in the hall, Shaoqing of Dali Temple immediately reported the testimony of Qu Ling and Xiaocui to the emperor.

After hearing this, the emperor said in a deep voice, "within three days of Dali temple, find out about it‘

Shaoqing of Dali Temple bowed his hand and said, "I will obey your orders."

With the departure of Shaoqing of Dali temple, the rest of the hall were rejected by the emperor, leaving only the queen and Prime Minister Jiang.

The emperor looked at the queen and said in a deep voice, "ah Ling is your niece and Xi is also my daughter. I must find out the truth about this!"

The Queen's face looked light and said, "I believe that the emperor must be fair and strict."

The emperor took a deep look at the queen and left the hall without saying anything.

When the emperor left, the queen sighed, "no rash disaster."

Thinking that his granddaughter might stay in prison for a few days, Prime Minister Jiang was so distressed that he sighed again and again, "I just hope General Xiao can wake up earlier."

The Queen's eyes flashed slightly and whispered, "since it's been chaotic, don't add another fire."

Prime Minister Jiang's heart moved, "what do you mean..."

The queen went to Prime Minister Jiang and whispered a few words in his ear.

Prime Minister Jiang's muddy eyes brightened.
