Chapter 126: Who can I offend
? The eldest princess then sat down and pretended to be jealous and said, "You have a backer now, so I, the eldest princess, am redundant. In this case, let Lingxi go to the eldest princess's mansion to work for me today. No matter how rude the Wang family is, they dare not act wildly in the princess's mansion."
Su Lingxi declined, "Eldest Princess, the Wang family's affairs have not been dealt with yet. If I leave like this, it will not be difficult for mother."
The eldest princess glanced at Zhao Wanyue and said, "She has the protection of Grand Tutor Tang and your grandfather. Why is it difficult? There are so many things waiting for you to do there!"
Zhao Wanyue knew that the eldest princess wanted to protect Su Lingxi, so she said, "Since the eldest princess is here in person, you should go with her. Wang Chunming has brought this upon himself. It's their problem no matter what. Mother will handle it."
Xu and Madam Qi also persuaded her, and Su Lingxi finally followed the eldest princess.
In the Qinzheng Hall, Xie Yicheng knelt on the ground trembling. The emperor was intimidating without being angry: "What did you say? Mrs. Wang said that Xiaoxiao ordered a tiger to bite her son. This is simply ridiculous. Xiaoxiao is just a little girl."
Xie Yicheng hurriedly responded: "That's what I told her, but she insisted that she saw Princess Anle scolding a tiger in the mirror of an expert."
The emperor said indifferently: "Then how do you think this case should be handled?"
Xie Yicheng thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Chunming died an untimely death, and we must get to the bottom of it. However, I am incompetent. I didn't find out where the stones that crushed the servants came from, and I couldn't find the tiger that ate people. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!" The
emperor glanced at Xie Yicheng and said "Okay, stop playing these nonsense with me, tell me what you think about this case first."
Seeing that the emperor was asking questions, Xie Yicheng spoke freely: "Your Majesty, there are indeed many doubts in this case. Theoretically, the eldest daughter of the Su family cannot be separated from the cause. But judging from the way Wang Chunming and those servants died, it is something that Miss Su could not have done.
Now the room is full of They said that it was Wang Chunming who had committed many evils and was punished by God. I had read many books of sages and did not believe in these supernatural things, but I could not find any flaws in them. "
The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "Since there is no evidence, Miss Su cannot be convicted. Isn't the Wang family making a fuss?"
Su Xiaoxiao is related to the foundation of the country, and their family must not get into trouble.
"This is what I told Madam Wang. When she saw that I did not detain Miss Su, she carried Wang Chunming's coffin to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
After Xie Yicheng said this, he couldn't help feeling guilty. The emperor cared so much about Princess Anle. If he knew that this bad idea was from him, he would definitely skin himself alive.
As expected, the emperor was furious: "What did you say? The two women from the Wang family carried the coffin to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Isn't this nonsense? Princess Anle is so young, what if she bumps into them? Someone..."
The emperor was afraid of scaring Xiaoxiao, and wanted to send someone to take the two useless women from the Wang family away immediately.
Eunuch Yang walked over quickly: "Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Xie, Grand Tutor Zhao, and the Secretary of the Central Secretariat are waiting outside. They said they have something urgent to report."
When Xie Yicheng heard this, he knew that the Wang family and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had a fight. At this sensitive time, he had better hide away.
Xie Yicheng said respectfully: "Since the emperor has important matters to deal with, I will take my leave now."
The emperor frowned and said: "We still can't relax on this case. Don't let any clues go. So the stone fell from the sky, but it can't really be an alien object. Also, find all the witnesses related to this case. In short, we must clear the Su family's name."
The emperor's few words made Xie Yicheng suddenly enlightened. Yes, where did the stone come from? Before, he only paid attention to the fact that ordinary people couldn't move it, but it must have come from somewhere. As for the witness, he also overlooked a key person.
But what did the emperor mean by the last sentence? To clear the Su family's name, has the emperor already defined the case?
No matter what, Xie Yicheng had a new direction, and he was eager to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
After seeing Xie Yicheng off, the emperor called the three people outside the door in.
The emperor saw that they were all glaring and furious, and could not help asking: "What on earth could have made the three of you lose your temper?"
Minister Wang spoke first: "Your Majesty, you have to make a decision for me. The eldest daughter of the Su family lured my Chunming to the mountain and murdered him cruelly. Today, the youngest daughter of the Su family used magic to burn Chunming's coffin to ashes."
The emperor frowned: "Coffin, didn't I hear that your grandson's body was eaten by a tiger?"
Minister Wang almost choked. The emperor was just talking about something irrelevant, but he had no choice but to say patiently:
"It's true that we didn't find much of Chunming's body. The only thing left in the coffin was his severed hand. Now, we don't even have the only hope."
The emperor looked at Minister Wang with sympathy: "This is indeed tragic, but what does this have to do with Princess Anle? I haven't seen her for just a few days, and she already set fire to it. And she did it in your house?"
When the emperor said this, his tone was very serious. You couldn't tell that he was mocking anyone. It just felt like he was asking a normal question.
Minister Wang was choking and whispered, "The coffin was burned outside the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. The fire was caused by Princess Anle's magic."
The emperor slammed the teacup on the table and
said, "How dare you slander her by kicking my Dashuo just now." Minister Wang knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "Your Majesty, Su Xiaoxiao is a witch. How many people have been killed since she was born? Strange thing, today, there was a sudden thunder in good weather, which struck the coffin directly. This is definitely not a coincidence.
The thunder not only ignited Chunming's coffin, but also frightened my wife to the point of losing her hearing.
I remember that when they went to Prince Dun's mansion to cancel the engagement, Prince Dun's mansion was also struck by thunder. Your Majesty, you are wise! "
The emperor thought carefully, and there were indeed many strange things after Su Xiaoxiao was born.
His nephew Li Yutang recovered without medicine, and the illness that tormented the prince for many years was also cured. Su Xiaoxiao also prayed for rain in time to save the people of Dashuo from drought.
Even though she was kidnapped a few days ago, she brought a mountain of gold to Dashuo.
Minister Wang was not completely wrong. As soon as Xiaoxiao was born, the fate of Dashuo changed.
He glanced at Wang Miao, what a blind thing. Xiaoxiao was Dashuo's treasure. Why offend anyone else but her?
He now believed Wang Miao's words a little. Wang Chunming's death was most likely related to Xiaoxiao. He couldn't help but be shocked.
Xiaoxiao was not even one year old yet and she was already deciding other people's lives and deaths. If she grew up, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stop her.
