C573 Beg her to testify

Prime Minister's Estate, Qing An Courtyard.

The wet nurse was holding Little Lian Yan, the first wife was holding a rattle that was gently swaying in her hand, the child's eyes were agilely rolling back and forth like the moon, Lian Yue was sitting at the side, supporting her chin with her hand, with a smile on her face, her fingers caressing her brother's pink and tender cheeks, the little guy opened his mouth and cried out.

Lian Yanqing stared at the situation in front of him with great satisfaction and could not help but nod his head.

"Sigh …" At this moment, his mother sighed.

Third Wife Liu then said, "Madame, it's a great pleasure to be with the heavens. What are you sighing about this time?"

"I remember that Xiao Shan from the Xiao Clan. He was so young and yet he was burnt to death. He was fine. Why is there a fire in his cell?" Even her mother said.

"Most likely, the poisonous scorpion would kill itself if it did something wrong. Mother, you don't have to worry about it anymore." Lian Yan Qing felt happy that Xiao Zhenhai had suddenly lost his eldest son. These past few years, Xiao Zhenhai had been suppressing him. He was the prime minister, but now he was being suppressed by a general.

"Actually, what's quite a pity is that Princess Eleven." "I still remember that time when she came to our Prime Minister's house and didn't have the airs of a princess, so she called me 'Madam' when she saw me. When she spoke, her eyes were curved, and she had a very pretty smile on her face, but I didn't think that she would follow the Empress like this. Speaking of which, she was the one that Tactics liked, so many poems had been written for her, but unfortunately, the person she likes was not the Tactics."

Hearing the first wife mention Feng Lingyue, Lian Ruyue's pinching hand paused for a moment, and then she continued to caress his hand, not making a sound.

"Why does eldest sister-in-law have such a good impression of Princess Eleven?" How do I remember that this princess is unruly and willful? I've heard people say that she forced her servants to disguise themselves as animals to hunt, and when she moved she would whip those who didn't listen to her. Everyone was afraid of her, so I didn't see that her eyes would look good when she smiled. Madam Liu said this as she reflected on the memories of the Eleventh Princess Feng Lingyue.

"The third branch!" Lian Rou hurriedly scolded, "This mouth of yours, one day, you will bring disaster upon yourself and throw our entire family into it!"

If word of the late princess were to spread, it would be a great sin.

Mrs Liu knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly slapped her own mouth a few times and said, "Madame, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"

"Humph!" Her mother glared at her.

"Madame, Prime Minister, the palace has sent someone for Eldest Miss to enter the palace immediately, saying that it is an order from Empress Zhaoyi." At this moment, outside the courtyard, the butler came to report.

"Right now, it's a busy season in the palace. Empress Zhao Yi wants you to enter the palace. You must be careful with your words and never break the rules."

"Grandmother, I, Yue'er, will remember this. I will be careful." Lian Ruyue said as she stood up.

Lian Ruyue went to the palace in a palanquin sent by the palace. The eunuch told her to wait in a certain hall for a summons. A moment later, someone from the Elegance Palace came and asked her to come with him.

Arriving at Yi Xiu Palace, Lian Zhaoyi walked over with his paunch, accompanied by Feng Yu Yao, who looked very haggard.

"Kneel!" After the crowd left, Lian Zhaoyi suddenly shouted.

Lian Ru Yue was startled as she slightly bent her knees — —

However, she only saw Feng Yunyao biting her lower lip, and obediently knelt down with her head bowed, not saying a word.

"Aunt, why is this? What did the princess do? " Lian Ru Yue pretended not to understand as she rushed to support Feng Wu Yao.

"Yue'er, please save Yao'er. The prison was set on fire and two people were burned to death. If the Board of Justice were to interrogate you, would you be able to prove that you were with Zhang Yao'er yesterday?" Lian Zhaoyi asked.

Lian Ruyue's face slowly turned cold. "Yue'er doesn't understand what Aunt means. This prison was set on fire. The Ministry of Justice wants to interrogate her. What does it have to do with the princess?"

He looked very pitiful as he said, "Elder Cousin Yue'er, that Jiang Keji took Lan Jing away. He said that someone saw that Lan Jing, that traitor, was ordered by me to do so by my Imperial Father. I thought that he would interrogate me today, and after thinking about it for a while, since my younger cousin has been living at the Etiquette Palace for the past two days, she should be my witness."

Lian Ru Yue looked at her pitiful crying appearance and said, "It was Lan Jing who put the mouse, not you, princess. What's there to be afraid of? It's the servant's fault. The emperor dotes on the princess so much, how could he listen to a palace maid's nonsense?"

Lian Zhaoyi said, "Littlemoon, things are not that simple. How could the emperor easily believe that a palace maid would have the guts to set fire to a prison cell and even burn a princess? "Tang Yao'er, at this point, if you need your cousin's help, quickly tell us the truth."

"Yes." Feng Yu said, "Yes, it was I who wanted to marry Xiao He. I heard from Lan Jing that Cousin wanted to save Sister Eleven, and I, I was worried that you really did save her, so I thought about getting rid of Sister Eleven first and let Lan Jing let the rats go. Who knew that Xiao Shan would also be burned to death?

Lian Ruyue's cold gaze fell on Feng Ziyao's face as she said, "I'm afraid the princess has yet to speak the truth."

Feng Tang was stunned, he raised his head.

"Does the princess have another agreement with Xiao Zhenhai?" Lian Ruyue asked.

"Yue Er, what do you mean? Young Yao'er, is there anything that mufei doesn't know? Hurry up and tell me! " Lian Zhaoyi berated.

"I, I …" Feng Tang hesitated, thinking that Lian Yue shouldn't know about the agreement between her and Xiao Zhenhai.

"Since the princess can't say it, let me say it, Aunt. The princess even intends to testify in front of the emperor and put Jin mama's death on my head to help rid Xiao Shan of the reputation of being a murderer, right?" Lian Ruyue said, looking at Feng Wu Yao.

"I... "How do you know so much?" Feng Ziyao felt a chill down her spine.

When Lian Zhaoyi saw Feng Yao's appearance, he was shocked and said, "Zhenyao, you really colluded with Xiao Zhenhai?"

Feng Ziyao kneeled on the ground, a look of guilt on her face. "Xiao Zhenhai said that if I did that, he would ask the emperor to grant me and Xiao He a marriage."

Lian Zhaoyi was so angry that his face turned pale. "You, you, muddle headed, muddle-headed! You are a princess, and yet you are so shameless! Are you unable to get married? "

"Mufei!" Feng Yang's face turned red, he was so ashamed that he was about to cry again.

Aunt, if it weren't for the Princess burning Xiao Shan to death while waiting for the fire, today, in front of the Emperor, I'm afraid that the trial wouldn't have involved the fire in the prison, but rather the Princess blaming me for the murder. Lian Ruyue coldly said when she saw the crying mother and daughter.
