Chapter 280 Witness
Kong Tu's eyes met Yu Shengsheng's and he quickly lowered his head.
Kong Tu whispered, "Sir, I am willing to follow them and find out the situation."
Yu Shengsheng remembered that Kong Tu and Kong Mao were the personal guards of Kong Dezhao. When she was forced and bullied by the Su family, Kong Dezhao helped her, and Kong Tu, under his orders, often helped her solve problems.
Seeing blood flowing down Kong Tu's arm, Yu Shengsheng felt sorry for him.
But the matter was of great importance, and Kong Tu was indeed a strong suspect, so she couldn't speak rashly.
She lowered her eyes and looked at Kong Tu's robe.
She remembered that the clothes worn by the beast-headed people at that time had faint dark patterns.
Before he could see clearly, the door of a house nearby opened and a group of people came out one after another, each holding a lantern in their hands, and the street was instantly lit up.
Yu Shengsheng looked back and saw a person walking out from the crowd.
He was in his thirties, wearing a dark blue brocade robe, a belt around his waist, and a jade pendant hanging on his waist. It was white, smooth and not an ordinary item.
The key is the style and the yellow tassels under the jade pendant.
Yu Shengsheng looked surprised. She didn't know who this person was, but she vaguely felt that his identity must be extraordinary.
Sure enough, Fu Qingyin and Kong Dezhao stopped temporarily and greeted the person who came.
This man had fair skin, thick black eyebrows, double eyes with a smile in them, a high nose bridge, and a moustache.
Seeing such harmony makes one feel like spring breeze.
"Your Highness." Fu Qingyin bowed, "I apologize for disturbing you so late at night."
Kong Dezhao said, "Your Highness, I am really sorry."
Only then did Yu Shengsheng realize that this person was the current emperor's youngest brother, Prince Ming.
The emperor had seven brothers, but in the fight at that time, only this one was left. It is said that this Ming Wang once blocked a knife for the emperor, and his life was hanging by a thread. Several imperial doctors worked together, several eminent monks chanted sutras for him, and a Taoist priest performed a ritual.
In short, we will use all possible methods and try our best to snatch him back from the hands of the King of Hell.
More than ten days passed before he woke up. At that time, he was still a prince, and the emperor directly conferred him the title of prince and gave him the title of Ming.
King Ming was a low-key person and did not participate in state affairs. He usually grew flowers and plants. He liked traveling and often went out for fun.
If we were to ask who is the richest and most leisurely person in Beijing, it would be him.
The emperor trusted him very much, firstly because he saved his life, and secondly because he knew his limits and knew when to advance and retreat. He did not become arrogant because of his achievements, nor did he seek repayment for his kindness.
Instead, he passed the buck, got a headache whenever he heard about court affairs, and refused to participate at all.
Seeing Fu Qingyin and Kong Dezhao, King Ming smiled and asked, "It's okay. I haven't rested yet either. What are you two doing here?"
Kong Dezhao sneered: "Commander Fu believes that my guard is the leader of some evil thief and wants to arrest him. Your Majesty, please judge for yourself. Am I the kind of person who allows his men to commit murders?"
Fu Qingyin laughed briefly: "If I didn't know the character of the prince, I would have almost thought that the prince was a good person."
"You..." Kong Dezhao said angrily, "Your Majesty, you heard it. He dared to slander you in front of you."
"You have to decide for me."
King Ming smiled helplessly: "You two both have your own reasons. My brain is not enough to judge you. I think it is better to go to the palace and ask the emperor to make the decision."
Kong Dezhao glanced at Kong Tu and thought quickly.
Fu Qingyin raised his eyebrows slightly: "I have no objection, but I don't know if the prince dares to do it."
Kong Dezhao was provoked by him and immediately said, "Let's go."
King Ming turned his gaze and saw Yu Shengsheng: "Who is this..."
Yu Shengsheng stepped forward to greet him: "Yu Shengsheng, I pay my respects to His Majesty."
Prince Ming thought for a moment, as if wondering who she was: "Oh, I remember now. I just came back from traveling a few days ago. I hurried but failed to catch the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet."
"When I came back and heard them talking about the Mid-Autumn Festival, they mentioned you."
He turned his gaze to Yu Shengsheng and Fu Qingyin: "The princess is both talented and intelligent, and I admire her very much."
"Your Majesty, I don't deserve the award."
"My princess, this is..."
Yu Shengsheng's outfit at this moment was really not very good.
"Your Highness, you don't know that the princess used herself as bait, was held hostage by the evildoers, trapped in a den of thieves, and was almost killed." Fu Qingyin was brief and to the point, pointing out Yu Shengsheng's key role.
Ming Wang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay."
"I wonder if the princess can still insist on going into the palace with me? You are the person involved. If you explain the situation, it will help my brother understand the inside story and make a better judgment."
“It is my duty.”
Fu Qingyin asked, "Your Majesty, I wonder if Your Majesty can come into the palace with me?"
King Ming was startled and a little embarrassed.
He really didn't want to get involved in this matter. If the two sides hadn't been arguing in front of the door and his subordinates hadn't reported it to him, he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb. He even didn't want to leave the house.
"Your Majesty, you are the first witness to this incident, and it happened close to your residence. Please come with us and explain it to the Emperor."
Fu Qingyin spoke, and King Ming could no longer refuse, so he nodded and agreed.
Everyone got on the carriages and horses and entered the palace together.
Fu Qingyin was about to mount his horse when Yu Shengsheng suddenly whispered, "Commander-in-chief, you gave me some medicine, and I feel a little uncomfortable after taking it. Could you help me?"
Fu Qingyin frowned slightly. Unwell? Normally...
Suddenly, Yu Shengsheng winked at him quietly.
Fu Qingyin remained calm, nodded, and got into Yu Shengsheng's carriage.
Yu Shengsheng still remembers that before she fainted, Fu Qingyin held her in his arms and fed her a pill.
Thinking of An Xin unconscious in his arms, Yu Shengsheng's face felt a little hot.
Fu Qingyin felt a strange feeling in his heart. Thinking of what she said about being rescued and putting Lu Xingyao in front, he snorted again.
"Thank you, Commander, for saving my life."
Fu Qingyin's depression and displeasure were mostly gone, but he still said, "Why are you thanking me? Shouldn't you thank Mr. Lu first?"
Yu Shengsheng: “…”
Is this person unhappy? So what?
"I remember that the commander gave me medicine and took me out of the yard. I was so grateful that I couldn't express it in words."
Yu Shengsheng picked out nice things to say, and they were actually facts, not all compliments.
Fu Qingyin felt a little better and waited for her to continue coaxing him.
Unexpectedly, Yu Shengsheng lowered his voice and said, "Commander, I think the person wearing the animal head mask should not be Kong Tu."
Fu Qingyin's slight smile faded away, and he glanced at her with his narrow eyes.
Perhaps because she lowered her voice, she leaned forward slightly towards him, her hanging hair swaying.
Fu Qingyin looked away: "Sit closer."
Yu Shengsheng blushed, said "Oh" and moved away.
"Why do you say that?" Fu Qingyin calmed himself down, "Just because his name is Tu, you think he is a rabbit?"
"Or is it because he is Kong Dezhao's man?"
He himself did not realize how sour this sentence was.
Yu Shengsheng quickly said, "No, none of them."
"Because..."
