Chapter 47 Suddenly, he held her hand

"You're talking nonsense. When did I start using you as a scapegoat, Chu Jiuning? The evidence is before you, and you can't refute it, yet you start making trouble?"

Lord Wu and Lord Li did not expect Chu Jiuning to speak so bluntly, and even named him. Their deepest thoughts were almost completely dug out, and for a moment they looked extremely unnatural.

One of the reasons why Lord Hao wanted to execute Chu Jiuning quickly was to cut off the prince's support. After all, Chu Jiuning had too much money.

then.

He also talked to that person about promoting Chu Jiuning to be a concubine. When he saw the portrait, the surprise and excitement in his eyes were obvious, but he also felt that Chu Jiuning's status was too low. Now he thought that he should insist a little longer, even if it was just to let her join him.

Who would have thought that she would actually walk into the Crown Prince's tent? It was really frustrating.

"Besides, I have no intention of doing anything to you. Imprisonment is a normal procedure. You have both the timing and the motive, and you have no way of refutation."

"Found it."

In the ruins.

Someone suddenly shouted excitedly, attracting all the attention.

The coroner came forward to help, instructing everyone to slowly dig out the body, then placed it on a stretcher and quickly carried it in front of everyone.

The charred body was so horrible that it was completely unrecognizable, but the bracelet on her hand was not broken. Someone came forward and wiped her bracelet.

"ah……"

When Mrs. Chen saw the bracelet on the corpse's wrist, her face turned pale and she fell into the arms of a servant.

It’s Chen Qingwu.

Eunuch Chen's adopted daughter.

The other ladies also looked completely limp, with despair surging in their hearts like a tide.

It's over.

Since they found the first one, they will definitely find the second, third, and fourth. Miss Chen, who is a martial arts master, died in there. How can there be any hope for their beloved daughter?

And at the same time.

Someone came over here in a hurry, bowed and said to Minister Wu.

"Minister Wu, Eunuch Chen is already waiting at the Ministry of Justice. He said that Chu Jiuning should be sent directly to the Ministry of Justice without going through Shuntian Prefecture."

With Eunuch Chen's words, not only did Minister Wu feel emboldened, but even the Duke of Song's Mansion breathed a sigh of relief. Once he entered the Ministry of Justice, he would never be able to leave.

"Sir Wu, Eunuch Chen said that if he doesn't see anyone for half an hour, he will come and get them himself."

Madam Chen tried to stay calm and cried with the servants around her.

"Go, go tell the master that the young lady is dead. She has been burned to death."

"yes."

The servant turned around and ran out with a pale face.

"Your Highness."

Minister Wu looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, a hint of pride flashing across his brows. He just didn't believe that even if several departments forced him together, the Crown Prince would still stick to Chu Jiuning.

No matter how rich he is, he is just a lowly merchant and can't play any role. Instead, it will cause him to lose his reputation in the court.

If the court officials were disappointed with the Crown Prince, his path to becoming the Crown Prince...

"Chen Tianfu!"

The prince's voice was deep.

"What a grand ceremony! Let him come over here."

Shen Liuguang bowed and accepted the order, then immediately went out to make arrangements.

In about half an hour, a large group of eunuchs rushed over here aggressively and surrounded everyone.

And the eunuch Chen Tianfu, who was as loud as thunder, was gloomy and rushed towards this side in a hurry.

Bow your head.

When he saw the charred corpse on the ground, his pupils shrank sharply, his body stiffened, his eyes closed tightly, and great sorrow surrounded him. After a while, he took Madam Chen into his arms, hugged her tightly, looked at Chu Jiuning with murderous eyes, and scolded her bitterly.

“You deserve to die!!”

Song Jinhuai's heart shuddered when he heard this, and a feeling of fear surged up from the depths of his heart.

Eunuch Chen has endless methods. If he wants to kill someone, he will make him suffer all the pain in the world and then die slowly.

There are few people in the court who are not afraid of him.

Chu Jiuning slowly raised her eyes and looked at Eunuch Chen. This eunuch was born with a feminine and handsome appearance. He should be less than fifty years old. He has been in an important position for many years and is full of majesty. There is murderous intent in his eyes. I believe he will definitely take his own life today.

She walked slowly, step by step, to Eunuch Chen and looked up at him.

"Eunuch Chen, I didn't kill anyone, so why should I die?"

Eunuch Chen's eyes turned sharp and his expression turned ferocious. He never expected that someone would dare to speak to him like that.

"Master, judging from all the signs, it must have been her who ordered it."

Mrs. Chen took the file in her hand and pointed it out to Chen Tianfu one by one. Chen Tianfu nodded.

"Our wife said you killed her, she won't wrongly accuse anyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, the prince stood up and walked to Chu Jiuning's side.

"If she said she didn't kill him, then she didn't kill him!"

The prince looked at Eunuch Chen coldly, and Eunuch Chen was not willing to be outdone. Amidst the flash of swords and sabers, Eunuch Chen suddenly looked away and glared at Amber.

Even though Amber was very strong and fearless, she suddenly felt cold all over and her legs went weak.

"Kill her first."

A young eunuch immediately rushed towards Amber, and Shen Liuguang blocked him without any surprise.

"Your Highness, why on earth are you protecting them?"

A merchant of the lowest rank, useless, could it be that His Highness is attracted by her beauty?

The prince took a step closer, and Eunuch Chen took Madam Chen's arm and took a step back.

"Eunuch Chen, if the murderer is not her, what will you do?"

"I will kneel down and kowtow to her, call her godmother, and be filial to her from now on!"

The prince's handsome face suddenly showed a smile as he looked at Chu Jiuning. Chu Jiuning looked Eunuch Chen up and down, seemed to consider it for a moment, and then nodded.

"good."

Seeing that she still needed to consider it, Eunuch Chen felt humiliated instantly and said angrily.

"Humph, I'm afraid you won't live to enjoy it."

Eunuch Chen waved his hand and the eunuchs immediately rushed forward, while the people from the East Palace drew their swords and protected Chu Jiuning tightly.

at the same time.

Chu Linxiao and Chu Yiming also stood beside Chu Jiuning, and Eunuch Chen turned around and said angrily.

"Listen to me, we must take Chu Jiuning away today. I will avenge my daughter at any cost."

"Your Highness."

Song Jinhuai stepped forward and knelt in front of the prince.

"Chu Jiuning is my wife. I should have protected her, but she killed someone and did something shameful. Now that the incident has become so serious, I can no longer protect her. Your Highness, please distinguish right from wrong and be fair and honest."

The prince kicked Song Jinhuai in the heart, causing him to fall to the ground in pain, not saying a word for a long time.

Chu Jiuning stared at Song Jinhuai's profile, then suddenly looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and frowned slightly.

It's a very strange feeling, but I can't tell what's strange about it.

Immediately following.

Led by Eunuch Chen, and assisted by Lord Wu, Lord Li, Lord Li, and the Duke of Song, a large group of people all stood against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

On the prince's side, there are only a few people.

"Your Highness, if you continue to protect me like this, you will surely suffer endless troubles in the future."

Chu Jiuning stood beside him and asked him curiously. The prince lowered his eyes and looked at her deeply.

"Isn't it too late to say this now?"

After saying that.

The prince suddenly moved, and when he was shoulder to shoulder with her, with his sleeves hanging naturally, suddenly... he held Chu Jiuning's hand.

Chu Jiuning's body suddenly stiffened, and she turned her head sharply to look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Although her sleeves were covering her face, she was still shocked.

"Let's go back to the Prince's Mansion."

He didn't look at Chu Jiuning, but stared straight ahead, holding her hand and walking away.

"Your Highness, please think twice!"

"Your Highness, you can't do this."

When the officials saw this, their faces changed drastically and they all tried to stop him, but Eunuch Chen was filled with murderous intent.

Chu Jiuning pursed her lips, and suddenly held the Crown Prince's hand tightly, then quickly broke free.

Turning to look at Nanny Hong.

"Mammy, it's almost done."
