Chapter 107 Complaint
"Your Highness, you actually doubt me?" Upon hearing this, the Third Prince's wife looked at the Third Prince sadly.
She had already promised to give up her position as his legal wife and help him persuade Pei Jinyu, but not only did she not receive his gratitude, but now he was doubting her?
This made the Third Prince's wife feel instantly aggrieved. She clearly did nothing. Although she hated Concubine Zhang, what happened today really had nothing to do with her!
The Third Prince turned a blind eye to her grievances, but thought that she was still of some use to him, and Pei Jinyu had not yet been obtained, so he could not do anything to her. Therefore, he only scolded her a few words, and as for what the Third Prince's wife said, he ignored it.
After the Third Prince comforted Concubine Zhang, he strengthened the management of the Prince's Mansion. From beginning to end, he never thought of going to the study.
The two servants guarding the study went to check the study after waking up and found that nothing was missing from the study, and there were no signs of rummaging, so they did not report anything to the Third Prince. After all, if they did, they would be scolded, and nothing was missing anyway.
It was not until the next day that someone from the Dali Temple came to the door and said that someone had sued the Third Prince. This made the Third Prince's eyebrows jump and he realized something was wrong.
He asked the people from the Dali Temple to wait in the mansion, saying that he was going to clean up, and then he hurried to his study and dark room to check, only to find that something big had happened!
"Asshole! I've been tricked! This must be the Crown Prince's Consort, it must be them!" The Third Prince cursed angrily, and then he slowly realized that this was their plan of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.
The kidnapping of his concubine was just a cover, Xu Qingyan and the others were after the dark room! Considering that Pei Jingchuan had asked him for a lantern for Xu Qingyan before, what else did he not understand at this moment?
"Someone, go and invite Mr. Qi and tell him that I have been taken to the Dali Temple. Ask him to go there quickly and give him this letter!" The third prince quickly picked up a pen and wrote a letter in the study, then handed it to the servant.
Mr. Qi is his most powerful aide, and now he is the only one who can save him.
——Dali Temple——
Pei Jingchuan and Xu Qingyan had already arrived and were sitting there. Five or six women were kneeling in the middle of the court.
Since the matter involved the Third Prince, the Emperor also sent some senior officials and censors to listen in. As for the Emperor, he was furious when he heard about this and is now recuperating.
However, the emperor was also extremely angry and issued an order, requiring a thorough investigation. If it was proven that the Third Prince was the one who did it, he would not tolerate it. He couldn't have such a cruel and inhumane prince in Daxia. If he didn't punish him, the people of the world would denounce him as the emperor.
The third prince walked into the Dali Temple and saw the women kneeling on the ground. He then glanced at Pei Jingchuan and his wife standing next to them. There was a sinister look in his eyes.
The third prince talked about Pei Jingchuan. He thought: It's really them! I treated them so politely, but they didn't know what was good for them and tried to harm me again and again!
"Third Prince, these women in your hall have sued you for illegally imprisoning them and brutally murdering them, peeling off their flesh and making them into lanterns. Do you have any defense for this?" The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple explained the situation in brief after seeing the Third Prince come in.
At this time, the Third Prince's heart was already in turmoil, and he was extremely flustered. When faced with the question, he didn't say a word for a long time, just standing there motionless, only his eyes quietly glanced at the crowd. Until he met someone's gaze, he saw a man in plain green clothes, who shook his head slightly at him, his eyes full of denial.
After seeing him, the Third Prince calmed down and said, "This prince is innocent. I don't know any of these women. I don't know who ordered them to frame me."
"We didn't make any false accusations. It was the Third Prince who locked us up and tortured us. He locked us in a dark room and humiliated us every now and then. My face was destroyed by the Third Prince. He also fed all kinds of poisonous insects into my mouth, letting them eat away at my internal organs, but he didn't let me die. He gave me medicine afterwards!" The woman in pomegranate color heard the Third Prince's denial and immediately retorted excitedly.
As soon as she said this, many people gasped. Stuffing poisonous insects into their mouths was truly perverted!
The Third Prince tried hard to suppress his anger, but his hands were clenched tightly under his sleeves. He replied in a deep voice: "Miss, I don't know you at all. Do you have any evidence to prove what you said? If you don't have any evidence, then you are just framing me!"
The woman couldn't help shaking when she heard this, thinking: Evidence? What would be considered evidence? Every time her internal organs were in terrible pain and she was about to die, the Third Prince had her healed. Except for her face being destroyed, there were no other scars on her body. And every time the Third Prince tortured her, it was just to enjoy her pain. He was a pure pervert!
"Third Prince, I rescued this woman from your study. Isn't this evidence?" At this moment, Xu Qingyan stood up and said.
Regarding this matter, she and Pei Jingchuan never thought of hiding behind the scenes. They have already opposed the third prince.
"Really? When did the Crown Princess visit my study? How could I not know that there is a secret room hidden in my study?" The Third Prince looked at Xu Qingyan in surprise and said.
Xu Qingyan looked at the Third Prince and said, "Whether there is one or not, why not have someone go to the Third Prince's mansion to check and we'll know? With such a day, I believe the Third Prince probably won't have enough time to fill up the secret room!"
When the Third Prince heard this, his heart tightened involuntarily. He subconsciously looked at the man in the crowd, only to see the man nodded at him.
So, the Third Prince smiled faintly and said, "Okay! Then let someone go to my house to check and see if there is a secret room!"
Xu Qingyan looked at the Third Prince in surprise. How could he agree so easily? Could it be that he had already dealt with the secret room? It couldn't be that fast!
"Someone, go to the Third Prince's house and check whether there is a secret room!" At this time, the Dali Temple Minister heard this and directly ordered someone to check.
It would take about half an hour to get from the Dali Temple to the Third Prince's Mansion, including the inspection, so they waited for the results of the investigation.
During this time, the Third Prince left temporarily on the pretext of going to the bathroom. After arriving at the Gongfang, Mr. Qi met with the Third Prince.
"Mr. Qi, what should I do next? When I come back later, they will say that they found the secret room, and there are still some things in the secret room that I haven't dealt with cleanly." The third prince looked at Mr. Qi anxiously.
Mr. Qi has small eyes, thin lips, a pale face and light eyebrows. At this moment, his eyes are slightly narrowed, leaving only a slit.
He said softly to the Third Prince: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have already thought of a way for you to escape."
