Jiang Yao looked at her puzzledly: "Why should I explain?"
"The calming incense on the purse is the same one you lit in the front yard, which means you were the one who took it out."
This is too deliberate.
It was so deliberate that Jiang Yao had to think deeply. Jiang Shu was really cruel and scheming.
If she argued with her about the origin of the purse at this time and claimed that Jiang Shu gave her the purse, the situation would become one where she would get angry and bite anyone she caught.
Sometimes the truth is not the ultimate goal. Whoever loses his composure first in the process will be suspected of being the murderer.
Jiang Yao looked at Zhao Huang in confusion: "Your Majesty, that purse is mine. It was left to me by my mother when she was alive. It has always had calming incense on it. However, this kind of calming incense is very common. How can you conclude that I brought the calming incense just because it is on my purse? The person you should suspect the most is probably the imperial physician in the palace, right?"
Zhao Huang drummed his fingers on the table, his expression solemn. "But Jiang Yao, why did you bring in the purse with the calming incense? Don't you know that you can't bring calming incense into Feiyan Palace?"
Jiang Yao nodded honestly: "I don't know."
Zhao Huang choked: "You don't know?"
"On my first day here, no one told me the rules."
Madam Liu quickly explained, "Your Majesty, a Japanese maid went to escort Miss Jiang Yao and explain the rules to her, but that maid was taken away by Miss Jiang Shu. Later, Master Su expelled the maid from Feiyan Palace. As for Miss Jiang Yao, Master Su said he didn't need to intervene, so I didn't say anything."
"Awake." Zhao Huang was a little annoyed and looked at Lord Zhang: "What do you think of this, Lord Zhang?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Lord Zhang.
Lord Zhang came out, looked at Jiang Yao, then at Xu Jing. Finally, at Zhao Huang's signal, he slowly said, "I believe that Miss Jiang Yao didn't know that tranquilizing incense couldn't be brought in. As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime, so this purse can't serve as evidence. Miss Xu Jing insists that she didn't see Miss Jiang Yao yesterday, and her words are evasive and inconsistent. If this were my fault, I would have to torture her to get her to tell the truth."
At this point he smiled and said, "But this is, after all, a matter of Feiyan Palace. It should be handled by Master Su. I won't say anything more about it."
"What Zhang Aiqing said makes sense."
After Zhao Huang finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet.
When Xu Jing heard Lord Zhang say that he was going to execute the person, he was so frightened that he lost his mind.
"Cer."
"Your son is here."
"You take the guards and stay in Feiyan Palace first. Keep an eye on a few people and wait for Master Su to come back and handle it yourself."
"It's Father."
Zhao Huang stood up and walked out. When he passed by Jiang Yao, he suddenly stopped and looked at her: "You are smart, but unfortunately not smart enough."
Jiang Yao lowered her head. Zhao Huang was scolding her for not being smart enough, which was why she was tricked.
She understood, and also realized that her calmness today saved her life, and Xu Jing and Jiang Shu's plan did not succeed.
Zhao Ce stepped forward and pulled Jiang Yao up: "Don't kneel anymore, get up quickly."
"You all should get up too."
What Zhao Ce said to the people who were still kneeling was obviously not as gentle as what he said to Jiang Yao.
"Jiang Yao, don't be afraid. I'm here, and no one can wrongly accuse you."
"Thank you, Prince."
Jiang Yao was still very touched. Zhao Ce was a man who valued friendship and loyalty. He must have taken care of her because she took good care of Su Qianji. That's why he loved her as well as her.
"Prince, my second sister must have been misunderstood as well. Thank you for standing up for her."
Seeing that Jiang Yao didn't fall into the trap, Jiang Shu rolled her eyes and saluted Zhao Ce.
As a sister, it is right to thank Zhao Ce for taking care of Jiang Yao.
Zhao Ce snorted coldly, "Miss Jiang, there's no need to thank me. I've always believed in Jiang Yao. As for justice, I'll handle it myself when Qian Ji returns."
After that, he asked Jiang Yao, "Jiang Yao, are you hungry? I promised to give you the big yellow croaker."
It was a yellow croaker worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but Jiang Yao really wasn't in the mood to eat it now. Although she wasn't afraid, she was still nervous after what had happened.
"Thank you, Prince. I'm not hungry yet."
Jiang Shu glared at Jiang Yao angrily. They all entered the palace together, so why was it so difficult for her to see Zhao Ce, while Jiang Yao could easily get close to Zhao Ce? It would be impossible if she hadn't used some means.
It seems that she really underestimated Jiang Yao.
At the same time, I also made up my mind about that plan.
"Prince, we still don't know the truth. Sister Xu Jing has also been wronged and wronged for no reason. I will take her back to rest and wait for Master Su to return."
"Back off."
Jiang Shu and Jiang Xing carried Xu Jing away, one on each side.
Zhao Ce's mind was on Jiang Yao. Feeling that she was in a bad mood, he felt bad too.
"Jiang Yao, don't worry, everything will be fine. I believe in you."
"Does the prince really believe me?" Jiang Yao looked up at him, tears welling in his eyes. "I really didn't mean to light the calming incense. It was really Master Su who asked me to do it."
"I believe what you said." After a pause, he continued, "If you really meant it, Qianji would not have said nothing."
Jiang Yao suddenly realized that the other person didn't believe her at all, but only believed Su Qianji. Because Zhao Ce understood Su Qianji and knew his character, that's why he said he believed her.
This is good. When Su Qianji comes back, everything will be clear.
"Prince, I want to go back and rest for a while."
"Okay, you're scared too, go back and rest. I'll have the kitchen prepare something delicious and send it to you."
"Thank you, Prince."
Jiang Yao went out and met He Wan'er at the corner.
She paused and almost fell down in fright.
"He Wan'er?" Seeing that there was no one else around, "Are you waiting for me?"
"Jiang Yao, have I ever told you to try not to involve me in your sisterly affairs?"
Jiang Yao was confused: "What?"
"Yesterday they insisted on dragging me along to embroider clothes with them. We embroidered all day long. The four of us were indeed together the whole time."
"I know, didn't you just say that?"
"But you also said that there is a time to eat and a time to go to the toilet."
Jiang Yao felt that there might be something fishy going on here: "What do you want to say?"
"They didn't go to the toilet, so I went." He Wan'er looked at her and said word by word: "When I went there, Jiang Shu and Xu Jing were sewing clothes for me."
He Wan'er took out two pieces of clothing at this time.
Jiang Yao's expression changed slightly, and he picked up one of the items: "There is a calming incense in this."
As soon as she sniffed it, she knew that there was a soothing fragrance hidden in the thick cloak.
He Wan'er was very angry: "I said I won't get involved in your fight. Jiang Shu framed you and even took me into it."
No wonder Jiang Shu looked at her so strangely before, as if threatening. Now she thought, Jiang Shu meant that if she didn't testify for Xu Jing, she would be dragged into this as well, right?
