Chapter 156

Three days later.

It was a beautiful day. Even in late autumn, it was also a rare good day. The lazy sunlight scattered on the charming petals of some big and undeveloped Persian chrysanthemums made them more colorful and beautiful. In Shufang palace, the beautiful women are all dressed in gorgeous clothes. The exotic customs of the past seem to be swept away in an instant, leaving only the murderous air of naked.

The maid in waiting handed over the tea: "Niang Niang, after drinking tea, it's time to go to the imperial court for a public trial."

Shufei slowly took the tea from the maid of honor and took a sip. Today, she was also well dressed and became more and more beautiful and picturesque. Correspondingly, she was also aggressive. Her red dress undoubtedly made her more powerful. The death of Princess Heyi was a great blow to Shufei.

For so many years, except for Princess Yi, Shufei never gave birth to a son in the palace, and the matter of seizing the right is no longer Xiaoxiang these years, relying on the emperor's favor. Although the Emperor didn't love her as much as Princess Chen at the beginning, it was because she gave birth to a daughter, and Princess Yi didn't pose a threat to the country. The emperor was not wary of her.

Although Princess Heyi is domineering on weekdays, it's the meat that falls from her belly. She has been pampered for so many years, but she doesn't know how to end up with a tragic death. Shufei is a very arrogant and impulsive person in her heart. When xuanlang confirms that Jiang Ruan killed Princess Heyi, she wants to rush out and tear Jiang Ruan to pieces. However, Jiang Ruan had already been locked up by the Ministry of punishment, and she was not easy to start.

However, there is no one in the world that she can't compete with. With her ingenuity and beauty, she is not a soft persimmon. Even Chen Guifei, who has been fighting with her all her life, is not at a disadvantage now. Jiang Ruan is nothing but the daughter of a small official. Killing Princess Heyi is a sin she can't afford in her whole life. After Shufei calmed down, she was not in a hurry.

This case involves a lot. She went to the emperor to cry, and the emperor also promised to make decisions for Princess Heyi. After so many years of marriage, the emperor's mood could be controlled by Shufei. Naturally, it can be seen that the emperor was not happy with Jiang Ruan. Besides, with all the human and material evidence, Shufei didn't even have to take care of herself, so she could let Jiang Ruan die without a burial place.

It is precisely because the people involved in this case are all royal people, and even empress Yide intervened, and the emperor agreed to the pre imperial trial. Since the founding of the people's Republic, there have been only one or two cases of pre imperial trial, which are also major events involving the former founding fathers of the people's Republic. This is the first time that such a royal dispute has been involved in the pre imperial trial. She knew that besides Zhao Guang's family and Empress Dowager Yide, Xiao Shao, Prince Fu, Liu Min and Gu Yi were also among those who pleaded for Jiang Ruan. When she thought of it, she would gnash her teeth.

When I was in the palace with Princess Yi, because I was favored by the emperor, I made friends with a group of young ladies. Now I have died miserably with Princess Yi, but no one has come forward to speak for her. Those who used to make friends with each other have become turtles. To be sure, it may have been warned by others, but it can also be seen that Princess Yi is only a group of fair weather friends. On the contrary, Jiang Ruan is only the daughter of an official, and she is not a real Royal relative. So many people are rushing to protect her. She is really a fox at a young age!

"Is king Jinying here, too?" Shufei put down her tea cup and asked in a cruel tone.

"Back to empress, King Jinying has gone first." The maid returned.

Shufei slowly clenches her fists. She doesn't know how she and Princess Yi died, but she knows that everything is caused by Xiao Shao. Since Princess Heyi lost her life for Xiao Shao, Jiang Ruan, as Xiao Shao's sweetheart, would have to pay for her life anyway. What about being powerful in the court? Xiao Shao may not be able to resist the order in full view of the public? When she saw the picture of her sweetheart's tragic death, she felt a deep pleasure at the thought of Xiao Shao's angry eyes and Jiang Ruan's despair.

……

Jiang Dan has entered the palace with his new girl and lives in the courtyard where the girls live together. The courtyard is a group of 28 girls, Yingyan, very busy. It's not uncommon for an ordinary girl from a high-ranking family or a daughter from a small family to send her daughter to the palace in the hope of a prosperous future. But now these girls still don't know the sinister and innocent appearance of the palace. They almost dazzled people's eyes.

Jiang Dan sat quietly in the front hall of the room, watching the lively and excited exchanges among the young girls, with a lively and shy smile on her face. It's not easy for people to be defensive, so even if she can insert a few words, it doesn't prevent the young girls from seeing her as their own soon.

Among them, the commoner girl of the maid's family said, "Hey, sisters, I don't know if you've heard of it. Today is the day of the public trial of the case of Princess Hong'an, the daughter of Jiang's family killing Princess Heyi."

"Ah, that's right. I think of it, but it's not today." Another woman echoed: "it's a pity we can't go out here, but we can't go to see what's going on."

I feel sorry to hear her voice. These women are young and curious. They are also full of interest in these things. They are disappointed for a while and are in great interest.Jiang Dan looked at everything in front of him with a smile, as if he had not heard the news.

"It's just a homicide case. There's nothing to see." The father of the woman who was talking was working in the Ministry of punishment. He wanted to know something about it on weekdays. He nodded and said, "I heard my father say that there is almost nothing to try in this case with Princess Yi. He has also been tested, and there are four other witnesses like his highness. There is almost nothing to retract. What if Princess Hong'an is favored by the Empress Dowager? It is a great crime to kill the royal heir, and no one can protect him. "

"Princess Hong'an is so brave that she dares to kill people." One person seemed to think of something and looked at Jiang Dan: "eh, isn't she your direct elder sister? What is the matter with you? "

Jiang Dan was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said: "this matter...". I don't know. I'm just a common girl. How can I get involved in these things? "

"Is she so fierce in the house on weekdays?" Someone asked curiously, "have you ever been beaten and scolded by her?"

Jiang Dan shook his head, but his eyes flashed quickly, a trace of fear: "no, big sister has never hit me."

The more she said that, the more suspicious her evasive eyes seemed. People looked at her timid appearance and almost turned pale when talking about Jiang Ruan. For a moment, what they chatter about is all about Jiang Ruan. Originally, they were both women, but they were envious. Over the years, Jiang Ruan has been born well, and his luck is even better. He has been sheltered by Empress Yide, and he has another brother, the God of war, who has already made people envious. Now when he falls into the water, these envious people will step on him mercilessly.

In the humble corner of the room, there is still a person sitting quietly. She looks pretty, but her expression is a little weak, even a little disdainful. Listening to the people's talk about Jiang Ruan, she looks a little disgusted. This man is no other than Dong Yinger.

In the end, he still entered the palace. Now it seems that Dong Ying'er feels that the things that he originally rejected are not so difficult. There are so many beauties in the palace that the emperor needs some luck to remember her. Why should he say that she is favored. If the emperor never pays attention to her, it may not be a good thing to die safely in the palace.

Jiang Ruan killed Princess Heyi. Dong Yinger had heard from her father before. She didn't believe Jiang Ruan would kill Princess Heyi. It wasn't because of anything else, just because she felt that even if Jiang Ruan wanted to kill someone, he would not be stupid enough to be in front of the fourth prince. Jing Zhaoyin is a smart man. When analyzing the pros and cons, Dong Yinger heard something about it, but it's something she can't reach.

Now sitting here, listening to these people's disparagement of Jiang Ruan and Jiang Dan's hypocritical slander, Dong Ying'er only feels a great deal of pain in her stomach. If she is as usual, and according to her friendship with Jiang Ruan, she will come forward and make a theory. But now they just sit on one side and watch people's comments coldly.

What I remember is that when she was going to be sent to the palace, she cried and begged Jiang Ruan, but Jiang Ruan said what to do with her.

Things in the world are changeable. Dong Ying'er has a little happiness in her heart. For example, Jiang Ruan is in prison and is slandered to kill Princess Hong'an. What does it have to do with her?

……

However, the public trial in the palace still needs to hear how the facts in the palace change.

The emperor, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, looked up at all the civil and military officials who were watching the trial. He had a bearing of not being angry but being powerful.

Today's pre imperial public trial is not so much a demonstration of justice as a warning to others. These days, some forces in the imperial court can't help but be ready to move. They are seen by the emperor. We need to beat up the same. Those who are still watching the wind and the wind are still waiting to see. Today the emperor will try to kill them by trying to find out what has the final say.

Li Gonggong's eyes, nose and heart, waving the dust, sat quietly on one side. On the contrary, Luo Tingwei stood aside and had already ordered people to bring the crime minister up. Then he heard someone outside shouting: "crime minister is coming --"

JIANG Ruan, dressed in white prison clothes, was escorted in by a group of soldiers. But I don't know if someone told me, or because she didn't struggle, but had a good attitude. The soldiers didn't coerce her, just followed on both sides. As she came to the Jinluan palace step by step, she felt like a lotus step by step, with a smile on her face and a calm look. It seemed that she did not come to participate in a life and death thrilling Pro imperial trial, or even with some leisure. In this way, it was like taking two boys out for a quick tour.

The lady sitting at the side seat saw this, her eyes flashed slightly, her eyes crossed a trace of resentment, and she slowly squeezed the handkerchief in her sleeve.

Jiang Ruan's clothes were clean and his hair was not disordered. Even when he was like this, his style remained unchanged. The civil and military officials of the court once met her when she accompanied the Empress Dowager back to the palace, and knew that she was charming. Today, I haven't seen her appear so abruptly in the Jinluan hall for many days. Even though she is in prison clothes, she looks more like a picture, as if she is charming. It seemed as if the girl's beauty had increased by one point every day. This time, it seemed that she was a little more beautiful than the last time. For a moment, some younger officials in the court were crazy.Jiang Ruan walked slowly, but his eyes fell on the young man in black before the officials. Today, he is wearing a Black Embroidered golden Python's court dress, which makes him more and more beautiful. Even among the crowd with many proud children, he is still the most eye-catching one.

Notice Jiang Ruan's eyes, Xiao Shao's eyes flashed a smile, such a smile, more and more appear his beautiful and heroic face, with a bit of gentle romantic.

This kind of eye interaction falls in the eyes of Liu Min who has been paying attention to Jiang Ruan's every move, but it makes him feel strange if he has something to lose. The original worry about Jiang Ruan suddenly turned into a full of discomfort, slightly don't look back, no longer look at this boring scene.

Xuanli's smile is gentle. He just stares at Jiang Ruan and smiles as if he is staring at a prey about to fall into a trap. He is full of ambition.

Xuanlang stood beside Xuanli, his body slightly inside, as if he was avoiding something. In other people's eyes, he just thought that the incompetent and cowardly fourth prince was afraid because he was a witness for the first time.

Zhao Guang frowned tightly and looked at Jiang Ruan with great pain. This is the blood of his Zhao family, but now he is in prison, because he can't do anything as a grandfather. Xiao Shao has already said hello to him, saying that this matter has its own arrangement. Although he is hot tempered, he knows that Xiao Shao is a man who does what he says, and his rash action may ruin Xiao Shao's plan. But now, I haven't seen any movement from Xiao Shao. Zhao Guang has already scolded Xiao Shao in his heart. He's a little bit of a jerk in his heart. How could he be fooled by the Zhao family? This hairy boy is just a turtle with a shrunken head. He doesn't have the courage to avenge Ruan's injustice, but he retreats temporarily?

Different from Zhao Guang, although empress dowager Yide was worried about Jiang Ruan in her heart, she didn't show a point on her face. She still looked like an old well. But the ruby armor of her left hand is a little uneasy, slowly across the edge of the chair, which is her usual action. Once there is something uneasy in her heart, she will unconsciously pull.

Jiang Ruan was a special presence in Empress Dowager Yide. At first, she was regarded as Princess Yuanrong. Later, she was a bit sincere in her three years' relationship. Now, Jiang Ruan is Xiao Shao's sweetheart. Xiao Shao is what kind of temperament, empress Yide is very clear, such a person is not emotional, just like his father, once emotional is to identify a person. Since Jiang Ruan was identified, she would not be allowed to fall into danger.

It's just that Xiao Shao is fierce, and it's not easy for Empress Dowager Yide to intervene in this matter, because she knows that Xiao Shao must have done it in the dark, but she doesn't know how fierce this method is? I only hope that Jiang Ruan's calm nature can make him a leader. To be sure, it is impossible for Empress Dowager Yide to know that Jiang Ruan is ten thousand times hotter than Xiao Shao in some matters.

"Princess Hong'an!" But Luo Tingwei opened his mouth under the emperor's sign and said, "you killed Princess Heyi. There are both human and material evidences. His heart is to be punished. It's a first-class crime to murder the Royal offspring. What else can you say?"

After the case was handed over to the Ministry of punishment, it was tried by Dali temple. At that time, it was almost a crime, but Jiang Ruan refused to admit it anyway. Later, there was a saying that the imperial court tried the case personally, so it was delayed.

"I didn't kill Princess Heyi." Jiang Ruan Dao.

She didn't look a bit flustered. She was loud, as if her words were hard evidence. People always believe in what they have in front of them, that is, those who have always believed in Jiang Ruan's murderer, but now they are slightly shaken - people are always very tolerant of beauty.

"What a glib, what a beauty!" But Shufei sneered and said: "you are young, but you have a vicious heart. I don't know how my Heyi has offended you and asked you to kill her like this! As Heyi's mother, I have to seek justice for my son. Princess Hong'an, you have to pay for your life to kill someone! " As soon as she turned and looked at the emperor, there was a mist in her eyes: "Your Majesty, Heyi is your daughter. You want to give it to your concubine and give it to the dead Heyi!"

The emperor looked down at Jiang Ruan, who was kneeling in the hall, and said, "Hong'an, you said that Heyi was not killed by you, so you have to show evidence. If you can't show evidence, I can only admit that you have nothing to say!"

By the end of the speech, the tone had intensified, almost mixed with some inexplicable threat, and the emperor was angry. All the officials were shocked. They knew that this was a sign of the emperor's anger. They all bowed their heads and did not dare to speak, for fear that the anger would be transferred to them. The girl in the hall, however, had no change in her face, as if the fury of thunder was just the rain in spring, and the clouds had faded for a moment.

Her eyes slightly swept over the officials, and she stayed for a short time in front of the Yellow monk beside the emperor. The monk was kind-hearted, holding a Zen bead in one hand. She received her eyes, slightly dropped her eyes, and was about to say Amitabha.

"I can testify for her, and the death of Princess Yi has nothing to do with her!"

A clear voice suddenly appeared in the hall. It was as sudden as thunder on their heads. Xiao Shao frowned slightly. The emperor's eyes flashed. The lady sat up straight. The Empress Dowager Yide touched the ruby armor and stopped.

But Jiang Ruan's eyes widened, his body trembled, and he almost couldn't believe it.
