“First, Tianxiang does serve in my courtyard, but the only ones who can serve me personally are Chaoyue and Huayi. The others are doing work outside the room following their orders. Tianxiang has never entered my room.
If I really wanted to send someone to invite Miss Jiang Er, I would definitely send one of Chaoyue and Huayi. They both know martial arts, so it would be easy for them to hide from others. Why leave any witnesses?
Second, the person bribed by you, Miss Jiang, was not Tianxiang, but Tianxiang’s adoptive mother and brother.
Although I don't know how you got in touch with the people from Tianming Pavilion, if you hadn't bribed my maid, no matter how powerful their martial arts were, they would not have found a chance to attack Miss Jiang alone.
So you must be complicit!"
After that, she ordered Ting Lan in a cold voice:
"Bring up my wet nurse Miao and her son."
Tinglan quickly brought two guards from the palace and personally escorted the two people over.
Then, in front of everyone, he kicked the already bruised and battered Manager Miao and said, "Tell me, what did you do behind the prince's back?!"
Manager Miao's lips trembled. Thinking of the Ninth Prince's merciless threats to him, he dared not hide anything anymore:
"I embezzled nearly ten thousand taels of silver from the palace and couldn't pay it back. It was Miss Jiang who came to me. She said that if Sister Tianxiang could help her take Miss Jiang away, she would give me and my mother some money, and then help us escape the palace's surveillance and leave the city, and then we would flee far away."
Jiang Huaizhu's face turned pale, but he held on to a faint hope in his heart and insisted:
"This is all your one-sided statement. What evidence do you have?!"
Miao took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Tinglan:
"It was this bitch who instigated my son and daughter. The proof is the document she signed! It clearly states the details of our transaction. Don't even think about denying your debt!"
Miao was also an old fox. Originally, Jiang Huaizhu wanted Guiying to negotiate terms with her and her son, but Miao was afraid that people like Guiying would abandon them after the job was done, so she demanded that the master behind Guiying must come forward to meet her and give her a contract.
Jiang Huaizhu had no choice but to meet Miao in person and write this note.
Only after Miao had something to save her life did she agree to let Tianxiang help at the prayer banquet.
Jiang Huaizhu originally ordered Guiying to have another subordinate lurking in Miao's residence kill the mother and son tonight and then destroy the document.
Just now, when she saw Miao coming out alive, she was still able to defend herself.
Now that the document was in front of her, she had nothing to say and fainted.
When the prince saw this scene, his brows furrowed slightly.
He also didn't expect that the Ninth Prince was so thoughtful and had made preparations in advance to leave the Miao mother and son alive.
Now, it is absolutely impossible for him to speak for Jiang Huaizhuo anymore.
Even what he had said on her behalf before seemed very stupid.
But Jiang Xiancao smiled at him and said:
"Your Highness, do you still think that this minister has wronged an innocent person?"
The prince smiled somewhat stiffly and said calmly:
"Since there is evidence pointing to Miss Jiang, then this person will be at the disposal of the Emperor's uncle."
After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.
Jingyi and others hurriedly followed him.
After all these people had left, Jiang Xiancao turned around and asked Shen Yubai:
"How does the emperor's uncle plan to deal with Miss Jiang?"
Shen Yubai smiled and said, "Since she is a prisoner, of course she should be treated as a prisoner. Come, take the criminal Jiang Huaizhu to the Imperial City Department and torture her."
Hearing this, Shen Tingsi, who had been silent, frowned.
Jiang Xiancao keenly caught the subtle change in his expression and asked with a sneer, "Why, Miss Jiang Er, you can't bear to see the culprit who hurt you so much suffer?"
Shen Tingsi paused.
In fact, before tonight, his feelings towards Jiang Huaizhu were not just pure disgust and hatred.
She had deceived him badly, and he despised her vicious true face of relying on the favor of her relatives to bully the weak, but he still remembered in his heart that Jiang Huaizhu had saved his life.
So even though she had done so many things that disgusted him, he didn't want a weak woman like her to be sent to the Imperial City Prison.
He knew very well that if she went there, it would be like going to hell.
Even if she managed to survive, she would be completely ruined.
But the remaining sympathy and tenderness in his heart disappeared after he learned that Jiang Huaizhu was involved with the people from Tianming Pavilion.
Half a year ago, he was seriously injured and fell into a coma because he was being hunted by the killers from Tianming Pavilion!
Tianming Pavilion has been secretly planning to overthrow the Dasheng Dynasty. He is first and foremost the son of his father and the prince of Dasheng, and only secondarily is Shen Tingsi.
This time, Jiang Huaizhu finally stepped on his reverse scale!
He even began to suspect that she had some connection with Tianming Pavilion when she rescued him half a year ago, and that the so-called favor that he could not forget was a trap set up by them.
"Of course not. I support His Royal Highness Prince Zhan in interrogating her!"
Shen Tingsi raised his chin slightly and straightened his thin chest, which was now that of a woman.
He didn't want Jiang Xiancao to look down on him at all, thinking that he was a person who would disregard the interests of his family and country for the sake of petty favors.
But Jiang Xiancao didn't have the patience to listen to him finish this sentence, and pushed Shen Yubai's wheelchair back to the yard.
Shen Tingsi blushed, secretly clenched his fists and wanted to follow, but was stopped by the secret guards of the Imperial City Division:
"Please ask Miss Jiang Er to return to the banquet and rest."
What? You want him to go back at this time?
He is the real Ninth Prince, why should Jiang Xiancao exclude him!
"Ninth Prince, Your Highness Prince Zhan, please let me in! I just heard the man in black talking to his men, and I know more!"
But neither Jiang Xiancao nor Shen Yubai paid any attention to him.
He was acupunctured on his sleeping point by the secret guards of the Imperial City Bureau and sent back.
The other side.
Jiang Jinyan is making careful preparations for the competition that is about to begin.
He was very confident that with his talent and appearance, he would definitely come out on top in today's written test.
By then, many noble ladies will surely be fascinated by his grace and talent, and even princesses will shyly pluck the plum blossoms from their temples for him.
He imagined this beautiful picture and couldn't wait.
But at this moment, his colleague from the East Palace suddenly ran over and whispered in his ear:
"Oh no! Your sister has been arrested by the Imperial City Division!"
Jiang Jinyan was stunned for a moment, then angrily threw his sleeves:
"It must be my second sister who doesn't know the rules and regulations and acted on her own, finally angering His Royal Highness Prince Zhan!"
The colleague looked at him strangely.
Only then did he feel something was wrong and started to feel uneasy.
Could it be that something happened to Zhu'er again?
But Zhu'er is such a smart and well-behaved person. After learning her previous lesson, how could she possibly fall into the trap of the Imperial City Bureau again?
This is absolutely impossible!
