Chapter 233 Personal Trial (Part 1)
"What did Fu Yi tell you? That he didn't kill anyone?"
As soon as they arrived at Prince Liang's mansion, Prince Liang started asking.
He wanted to hear how Fu Yi argued.
Cheng Nianying fell behind half a step: "I didn't ask him."
"Hmm? What did you two just talk about?" King Liang was puzzled and slowed down his pace.
Cheng Nianying turned her head and looked at him: "Tell him, I will save him."
King Liang paused, a forced expression on his face: "That's really nice..."
He suppressed his indignation and asked, "Do you really think he wasn't the one who killed Zhao Ning?"
"Why would he kill Princess Zhaoning? It doesn't make sense."
King Liang moved his lips.
They pointed it out to you.
Before he could utter a word, King Liang's brow furrowed suddenly. No, such an accusation was so vicious!
We need to drag "Xiao He" into this matter as well and deal with it together!
The expression on King Liang's face changed, and finally froze in a cold state.
"You've been frightened today, so rest early. His Majesty will personally judge the case tomorrow."
Cheng Nianying looked at him with bright eyes.
King Liang's heart softened: "Then I will take you with me."
"Yes." Cheng Nianying paused for a moment and added, "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Liang."
A sudden sense of sadness welled up in King Liang's heart.
They are blood relatives, but they don't recognize each other when they meet.
"If you have time, could you tell me what your life was like when you were a killer?" King Liang tried his best to suppress his tone and spoke carefully.
Cheng Nianying raised her eyes and looked at him again.
Different from King Ding.
Seeing that she hadn't replied for a long time, King Liang quickly found a way out. "It doesn't matter if you don't say it. I'm just a little curious... a little curious."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for helping me leave the Prince's Mansion. I will repay your kindness."
After repaying the favor, I will settle the account with my mother.
Cheng Nianying had a clear distinction in her mind.
"Why do you need to return it to me?" King Liang was a little anxious.
Doesn't this seem strange?
How can I get close to it?
The various practices of Prince Ding's Mansion flashed through Prince Liang's mind. He realized that imitating the practice of giving gifts was no longer feasible.
Should I put more effort into this matter of Fu Yi?
Helping Fu Yi... is a bit like swallowing a fly.
But there is really no better way.
Prince Liang forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Don't worry, I will help you with Fu Yi's matter... this matter as well. You don't have to repay me."
Cheng Nianying nodded and followed the servant to rest.
"Your Highness, do you really want to help Fu Yi?" The attendant beside Prince Liang couldn't wait to speak up. "I'm afraid this is a mess."
"When has this prince ever been afraid of wading into muddy water? If I were afraid, I wouldn't have opposed Fu Yi in every way before."
"Yes, yes, but Fu Yi is your enemy... This is such a good opportunity..."
"This prince knows Fu Yi's cunning and cunning methods very well. If he wants to kill someone, he shouldn't do it so carelessly."
King Liang had new hatred and old grudges, and no matter how dissatisfied he was with Fu Yi, he still couldn't say anything against his will.
After calming down, he realized that this was indeed not something Fu Yi would do.
The attendant opened his mouth, wanting to say, "So what? There aren't many opportunities to bring down Fu Yi. Why bother about whether it's him?"
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Yes, given Your Highness's temperament, if you act like this, how is he different from those cunning civil servants that Your Highness looked down upon in the past?

When it was bright, King Liang immediately came to look for Cheng Nianying.
"Your Majesty will conduct the trial personally."
Cheng Nianying hurriedly washed and changed her appearance, then followed Prince Liang into the palace.
It is a rare sight to see all the civil and military officials, princes and nobles present in the Purple Palace today.
Prince Liang arrived late. He saw Jiang Shenyuan guarding the palace gate and turned around. He lowered his voice and said to Cheng Nianying, "I'll capture this man and hand him over to you to interrogate him properly."
Cheng Nianying also lowered her voice: "He is the commander of the Imperial Guards."
Prince Liang made no secret of his authority as the emperor's eldest son: "So what? I want to arrest him, how dare he disobey?"
Cheng Nianying thought for a moment: "Can King Liang defeat him?"
After hearing this, King Liang said hurriedly, "That's for sure."
How could we let "Xiao He" look down upon us?
You must show the strength of a father.
After the two of them finished talking, King Liang felt very happy. He felt that they had made some progress compared to yesterday and they must have become closer.
"Bring Prince Danshuo." The emperor sitting behind the screen spoke.
Cheng Nianying raised her head and quickly glanced at the emperor. ...It was quite far away, and there were quite a few guards here. It wasn't a good place to start.
Not long.
Someone carried the sedan chair up to the hall.
Fu Yi leaned crookedly on the sedan chair, still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. For him, this was probably torture.
"Your Majesty, your servant Fu Yi greets you."
He stepped down from the sedan chair with difficulty and bowed deeply to the emperor.
The emperor rarely asked him to stand up immediately. He opened his mouth angrily and asked, "Why did you kill Zhaoning?"
"I didn't kill anyone." Fu Yi spoke calmly, without looking away.
The emperor ignored him and said coldly, "Bring the palace maids who served Zhaoning at that time, and the Crown Prince's Consort from Prince Kang's Mansion to the palace."
Soon, a group of people slowly walked into the hall. Accompanying the Crown Princess was Fu Yi's elder brother Fu Cheng.
"They all accused you of killing Zhao Ning. It's okay for the palace maids around Zhao Ning, but could it be that your eldest sister-in-law would deliberately slander you?"
Cheng Nianying frowned when she heard this.
When she rushed to the garden, she heard the woman pointing, and it turned out that it was the Crown Prince's Consort who said that.
Fu Yi chuckled lightly: "It's hard to say. Everyone knows that I am not close to Prince Kang's Mansion."
The emperor asked Fu Cheng, "Your brother is saying that your wife slandered him. What do you think?"
Fu Cheng lowered his head and did not answer.
The emperor did not urge him.
After this long period of silence.
Fu Cheng moved his lips and uttered with difficulty: "My wife is introverted and timid..."
