At this point, Xu Miaomiao could no longer listen outside the house, so she walked out, staring at Princess Jiahe, as if she wanted to see a hole in him.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao standing in front of her intact, Princess Jiahe was a little surprised and said, "You were locked up, so why are you here?"
After the doubts, he suddenly realized something. He looked at Nangong Jin, then at Xu Miaomiao: "Okay, you two lied to me on purpose."
"If I hadn't acted out this drama with Nangong Xianggong, how would I have known that the murderer behind this was actually you?"
"What murderer behind the scenes? Don't even think about accusing me without evidence. It's obviously your pastry that has a problem. Someone put rouge juice in it. You want to frame me for no reason? No way."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Nangong Jin also slowly walked over from the desk beside him, looked at Princess Jiahe and said, "How did you know that there was something wrong with the red rouge juice, and how did you know that those soldiers were poisoned?"
"I, I." Princess Jiahe stuttered for a long time and couldn't say a word. Then she thought for a moment and continued, "When I came in, I saw that the soldiers were gone and heard painful cries. Naturally, I knew that they were the ones who were poisoned."
"Then how do you know that the poison is from red rouge juice? Even the imperial doctors in the palace have a hard time diagnosing this, so how did you know that?"
Nangong Jin pressed on, questioning Princess Jiahe.
Princess Jiahe panicked when she saw this, her eyes wandering, and she continued, "I tell you, without evidence, you can't say it was me."
After saying that, just as he was about to turn around and leave, Nangong Jin waved his hand, and A Da at the side drew his sword and blocked Princess Jiahe at the door.
When Princess Jiahe saw that Ah Da had stopped her, she immediately became furious and looked at the man with dissatisfaction: "What are you going to do? I am the only princess in the Southern Kingdom, my mother is Princess Duan Jing, and my father is the brother of the current official. If you dare to touch me, I will make you die with me."
Just when the situation was tense, a horse neighed outside the door. The next moment, Song Zhijin opened the curtain and walked in. When she saw the three people, a smile immediately spread across her face. She said, "What a coincidence today! Madam Xu is here too!"
As soon as Princess Jiahe saw Song Zhijin, her eyes turned red and she looked extremely aggrieved.
Seeing Ah Da holding a sword against Princess Jiahe's neck, Song Zhijin shook her head in confusion, and said to Ah Da with a smile, "What are you doing? Although you are Ah Jin's confidant, it is also a violation of your authority to treat Ah Jin's wife like this. Okay, put away the sword!"
A Da was pushed by her and glanced at Nangong Jin. Seeing that the man did not answer, he silently put away his sword.
"Nangong Jin has no evidence. What makes you say that I did it?" Princess Jiahe suddenly became confident and said to Nangong Jin with dissatisfaction.
"Wouldn't it be easy to find out if there is any evidence?"
Nangong Jin looked at Princess Jiahe and spoke in a cold tone.
"How dare you." Princess Jiahe was furious when she heard what he said: "I am a noble lady, how dare you search me? Even if your Nangong is a century-old family, I am just a minister. I am the king and you are the minister, how dare you do this to me."
"Yes, Ah Jin." Song Zhijin on the side responded and said, "No matter what Jiahe did wrong, you shouldn't search her body. What will she do in the future if you do this?"
"That's what Madam Song said." Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately responded and said, "Isn't Princess Jiahe now the wife of Mr. Nangong? Even if she searches her body, what can it do? Can Mr. Nangong still despise her?"
Princess Jiahe was so angry that her features twisted into a ball: "Xu Miaomiao, you lowly person, I said I didn't do this, what do you want to do to make you believe me?"
"Since it wasn't you who did it, how did you know who was poisoned, and how did you rush here immediately after the poisoning? Are you trying to protect someone?"
After Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, her eyes moved back and forth between Princess Jiahe and Song Zhijin.
When Princess Jiahe heard her say this, she became anxious and turned her head away.
Nangong Jin also noticed something was wrong, and looked at Princess Jiahe and said, "Tell me the truth about this matter, or I will tell the emperor that you are the only one who did it."
"Nangong Jin, I am your wife, how dare you treat me like this." Princess Jiahe's chest heaved. She was so angry that she almost couldn't stand. She looked at Nangong Jin at a loss.
Seeing this, Song Zhijin, who was standing by, quickly supported her and comforted her, saying, "Although I don't know what happened, it seems that no one is injured now. Ah Jin, why don't you just forget about this matter? Jiahe is your wife after all. Even if she made a mistake, can you, as her husband, stay out of it?"
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but feel emotional. This Song Zhijin was really amazing. With just a few words, she could turn right into wrong and turn a big thing into a small thing, or a small thing into nothing.
If they really did that, wouldn't I become a scapegoat? If this incident was really done by me, would Song Zhijin persuade Nangong Jin to let it go?
Xu Miaomiao sneered and said, "If the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Let alone the princess, even if the current emperor made a mistake, I believe he would cut off his hair in lieu of his head. Could it be that this family and the princess are more noble than the current emperor?"
When Jiahe heard this, she took a step forward angrily and was about to slap Xu Miaomiao in the face, but was grabbed by Nangong Jin and pushed away. Princess Jiahe lost her balance and immediately fell to the ground, looking at Nangong Jin with some disbelief in her eyes.
"Nangong Jin, how dare you do this to me?"
Song Zhijin also sensed that something was wrong and immediately helped Princess Jiahe up: "Jiahe, you should get up first. I'm sure Ajin didn't mean it. There may be some misunderstanding in this matter. It's better to explain it clearly and then make the next decision."
"What other misunderstandings could there be?" Xu Miaomiao looked at Song Zhijin and said, "Although Madam Song has no evidence now, the story of Princess Jiahe is full of loopholes. Even if Mr. Nangong told the emperor about this matter right away, I believe the emperor would have already made a decision. You want to fool around with empty words. How can you be worthy of the soldiers in the army? How can you be worthy of the suffering they have endured?"
Xu Miaomiao had said this, and Song Zhijin was speechless. She could only look at Nangong Jin with pleading eyes: "Ajin, the three of us grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Even if Jiahe made a mistake, you can't punish her like this!"
