More and more people were waiting outside, including Shen Yanchu, Nangong Yuyao, Hei Mu and others, as well as Princess Chong'an and the newly-appointed Yuzhen County.
A large group of people were standing outside, and when they saw Qingli and Nangong Yan walking out, they all subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone knelt down and paid homage to the emperor.
Nangong Yan asked everyone to stand up and was about to go back to the palace with Qingli, but was stopped by Princess Chong'an.
Princess Chong'an looked worried, and asked Nangong Yan and Qingli, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, have you seen my prince?"
Everyone had witnessed the weirdness that had just happened here. Princess Chong'an was really afraid that something might happen to Prince Chong'an, and she was extremely anxious.
Nangong Yan and Qingli then remembered that there seemed to be several people lying in the hall of Dali Temple.
If Princess Chong'an didn't ask, they wouldn't remember.
"Your prince should be inside, go find him yourself!"
Qingli said.
Princess Chong'an was about to say that they couldn't get in when she heard her daughter say in surprise, "Mother, look, you can go in, they've all gone in."
Princess Chong'an took a look and found that it was true.
She hurriedly said goodbye to Qingli and Nangong Yan, then ran hurriedly towards the Dali Temple.
Qingli said to Nangong Yan, "We seem to have forgotten about Prince Chong'an and the Qiao family just now."
Nangong Yan held her hand and continued walking, saying, "It's not important, let's go back to the palace first!"
Qingli was helpless and did not refute.
After the two men left, Princess Chong'an and Princess Yuzhen ran into the Dali Temple and saw Prince Chong'an lying on the ground with no one paying attention to him. They were both terrified and hurried over to help Prince Chong'an up and anxiously wake him up.
At this time, there were only a few yamen runners busy in the lobby. Lord Zhao had already escorted the killers to the prison. When the yamen runners saw Princess Chong'an and others, they realized that the person lying on the ground was Prince Chong'an. The yamen runners hurried to help and helped the man sit up on the chair.
땤On the other side, Qiao woke up slowly, touched his head in confusion, and came to his senses after a while.
Prince Chong'an also woke up when the princess called him.
"My Lord, are you feeling unwell? Are you injured? Why did you faint?"
Prince Chong'an, who had recovered from his shock, sat up in shock and looked around, "Where are His Majesty and the Queen?"
Just when he fainted, he had seen someone assassinating Nangong Yan and Qingli. Although Nangong Yan was wearing a mask, he still recognized that it was Nangong Yan. Prince Chong'an was very worried. If something happened to Nangong Yan, what would happen to the Southern Kingdom?
Princess Chong'an hurriedly said, "Your Majesty and the Queen have already left, they are all fine."
After hearing this, King Chong'an finally felt relieved.
He frowned and said coldly: "What happened today is really strange. It seems that the Queen was deliberately targeted. I don't know how the matter was resolved. I fainted and don't know anything."
Hearing this, Princess Chong'an hurriedly said, "Don't worry, His Majesty and His Majesty will handle it themselves. They are safe and sound. You should take care of yourself first. You have fainted and I don't know if you are injured anywhere."
The couple had a very good relationship. What Princess Chong'an cared about most was Prince Chong'an's health, and she was afraid that he would get hurt.
Prince Chong'an comforted him, "I'm fine."
After Qiao came to her senses, she looked around and saw that everyone had left. She was very confused and didn't know what was going on.
"Where is Lord Zhao?"
Qiao grabbed a yamen runner and asked.
The bailiff glanced at her and said, "Lord Zhao is busy!"
Mrs. Qiao was anxious. "What are you busy with? My case has not been solved yet. What is Mr. Zhao busy with?"
The yamen runner gave her a cold look and said, "Our Lord Zhao has more important things to do. Your matter will be dealt with when he is free."
After saying this, the bailiff left and no longer paid any attention to Qiao.
Seeing this, Qiao was very angry. Lord Zhao's attitude before gave Qiao confidence. She wanted Princess Chong'an to pay with her life, but no one paid attention to her at this time. This was unacceptable to Qiao.
She made a lot of noise, demanding to see Lord Zhao, and the yamen runners were annoyed by her.
Prince Chong'an and the Princess did not speak either. They were also waiting for Lord Zhao to come out. They wanted to sue Mrs. Qiao for stealing the baby.
The yamen runners were so annoyed that they had no choice but to ask for help from Lord Zhao.
Lord Zhao was personally interrogating the killers, but was repeatedly cut off from him. He was very angry and finally ran out in a rage.
When Mrs. Qiao saw Lord Zhao, she rushed over and said, "Lord Zhao, you are finally here. You said before that anyone who kills someone will have to pay the price, no matter who it is. Look, this murderer is here, arrest her quickly."
Qiao looked at Princess Chong'an with a smug look on her face, as if she had already seen her being questioned.
But the next moment, Lord Zhao's words froze the smile on her face.
"After investigation, it was found that Miss Jiang's death had nothing to do with Princess Chong'an. As for the murderer, he has not been found yet. Madam Jiang, go back and wait for news! The murderer will definitely be found and an explanation will be given to the Jiang family."
Mrs. Qiao couldn't believe her ears. She said in a sharp and unbelievable voice: "Master Zhao, that's not what you just said. You just clearly..."
"Mrs. Jiang! The magistrate has his own laws and rules for judging cases. It's not that you can't just say someone killed someone. Your accusation also requires evidence. If you can produce evidence, the magistrate will do it for you. If you can't, wait for the magistrate to investigate it thoroughly."
Lord Zhao had a dignified look on his face, which was a bit scary.
Qiao was a little scared.
She was about to speak again, but was interrupted by King Chong'an. "Lord Zhao, the king wants to sue Qiao. Sixteen years ago, she deliberately stole the king's daughter, causing the king's daughter, a royal princess, to be stranded outside for sixteen years and suffer. The king wants to hold Qiao responsible. Lord Zhao, did Qiao violate the law?"
Lord Zhao was familiar with the law and immediately said, "If it is true, then this is a crime of abduction and trafficking. The punishment for abduction and trafficking is serious and can be sentenced to beheading."
Upon hearing this, Qiao's face turned pale.
"What? Beheading? I didn't, I didn't kidnap. Prince Chong'an, you are a prince, you can't arbitrarily accuse people! I didn't kidnap your daughter, you are talking nonsense."
King Chong'an sneered and said sternly, "Now everyone in Nanyang City knows that you stole the baby. Everyone heard you admit it in the hall that day. It's too late for you to deny it now."
Qiao's face turned even paler, her eyes filled with fear and panic, and she regretted not falling in her heart.
"No, I didn't kidnap her. I didn't sell her. I took good care of her and made her the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. I fed her well and provided her with good food and drink. There was no kidnapping at all."
Qiao denied trafficking, but admitted to stealing the child.
Prince Chong'an looked at Lord Zhao and said, "Lord Zhao, did you hear everything?"
Lord Zhao struck the gavel heavily with a thud. The sound seemed to hit Qiao's heart, startling her whole body! My body trembled involuntarily.
"Qiao! Do you admit your guilt?"
Lord Zhao had a serious expression and a cold tone, which frightened Qiao!
