Chapter 120 Prince Li Is Here
Zian didn't point out the loophole in her words, and without waiting for her to finish, he continued to ask: "So, how long after my mother jumped off the carriage, did the princess' guards catch up?"
"We caught up soon. The guards should have caught up after we walked more than ten feet away." Mrs. Linglong replied quickly.
Prime Minister Xia didn't speak all the time. Hearing this sentence, he said sharply: "Don't let your thoughts get confused, and answer after thinking clearly. What you answer must be the whole truth, and there must be no half-truth, you understand?"
Mrs. Linglong was yelled at by him, her mind suddenly cleared up a lot, and she quickly said: "No, more than ten feet, I was a little dizzy at the time, Wan'er took care of me, it should be more than twenty feet or more."
Zi'an glanced at Prime Minister Xia lightly, "Okay, after more than twenty feet, the guards chased after them and asked the coachman. The coachman said he didn't know that mother had fallen, but you just said that the coachman should know that mother had fallen, which is inconsistent , Madam, how do you explain?"
Mrs. Linglong's eyes were a little flustered, "This, I am not him, how do I know if he saw it or not?"
Zi'an pursed his lips lightly, "Okay, assuming he didn't see it and didn't know what happened in the carriage, his confession can be invalidated."
Mrs. Linglong felt that something was wrong, but she still nodded, "Yes, his statement is not credible."
Zi'an's lips curled up a little more, "Okay, that is to say, when my mother got off the carriage and the princess intercepted you, there was a distance of more than 20 feet, and the distance between here and the gate was more than 20 feet. distance, is it?"
Mrs. Linglong wanted to answer yes, but she knew in her heart that it was definitely more than this distance, but if she answered no, it would prove that she really wanted to abandon Yuan Shi.
Realizing that she had been taken away by Zi'an, she looked at Prime Minister Xia begging for help.
Prime Minister Xia coughed, and Master Liang understood, looked at Zi'an and asked, "Xia Zi'an, it's my official interrogation now, not you. It doesn't matter whether your mother jumped or fell, because it's under her. After getting into the carriage, she was able to stand up, proving that her injury was not caused by falling from the carriage, let alone blindness. Since the injury was not caused by this, there is no reason for you to beat the concubine and maliciously harm the future princess, and Heinous."
Hearing this, Murong Zhuangzhuang sneered, "Yo, tonight is really interesting. Sir, you have to look at the prime minister's face when you ask questions. What are you asking? It's not necessary. According to my opinion, just drag Xia Zian out. It can be cut, and it will save everyone's time, Taifu, don't you think?"
Grand Tutor Liang was named by Murong Zhuangzhuang, and smiled slightly, "The princess's words are wrong, this careless disregard for human life is always a very bad thing, especially when it happens in the prime minister's house, you and I don't know it, but it involves the future princess, You have to ask clearly."
Zhuang Zhuang sneered, his voice very sarcastic, "Ask me clearly, then I asked, have you asked? I only asked Chen Linglong, who else have you asked? Have you asked the future princess regent? Have you asked the prime minister's wife?" Huh? Have you asked me about the person involved? Mr. Liang said he was guilty of a heinous crime, mean and ungrateful, and already pointed out the crime of the future princess regent, so do you need to ask again? Quickly ordered someone to reply to the regent, saying that you A large group of people intend to cut off his future princess, so that he can do nothing."
The old lady said gloomyly: "Princess takes a regent princess one at a time. If you don't know it, take it as true."
"Is it true? You just have to wait. According to this Palace, the Princess Regent is a certainty, but the Crown Princess, it may not be so. Old madam, carefully bet on the wrong treasure." Zhuang Zhuang said with a smile. Ironically.
When Xia Wan'er heard this, she hurriedly raised her head and glanced at the prince. Seeing the prince looking at her with disgust, she subconsciously stroked her face, and said with little confidence: "The empress has married me and the prince. The princess will marry you." Stop booing, okay?"
It is appropriate for anyone present to say this, but Xia Wan'er said it is the most inappropriate, Murong Zhuangzhuang laughed, "I'm really sorry, I made a slip of the tongue."
Xia Wan'er kept looking at the prince, waiting for the prince to express his opinion. She hoped that the prince could say a word or two for her, at least to tell Murong Zhuangzhuang that their marriage has been settled.
But she was very disappointed, because the prince didn't even look at her, let alone say a word for her.
On the contrary, Taifu Liang said indifferently: "Princess, since the Empress has made a decree, it must be the truth. As for the regent princess, it is just a talk so far."
He was not diverted by Murong Zhuangzhuang and Zian, because he saw that the two seemed to be delaying time, so he said to Mr. Liang: "My lord, in your opinion, how should this case be judged?"
Mr. Liang said: "Returning to the Grand Tutor, now based on the confessions of Madam Linglong and Second Miss, combined with what the Eldest Miss and the Princess said, we can get the basic facts. There is no evidence, so it is not admissible, and the eldest lady hurt Mrs. Linglong and the second lady, and the crown prince and many guards have witnessed it, and people from the medical center can also testify. The officials believe that the circumstances of this case are serious..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a notification from the porter outside, "Prince Li has arrived."
Prince of Li, Murong Kai, the third son of the late emperor, was named Prince of Li, and now he is hereditary as the patriarch of the Murong family.
Everyone changed their colors slightly when they heard him coming. As we all know, this Prince of Li did not live up to his title in the slightest. He insisted on observing rituals in everything. , he has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he must put all the unethical things out of order.
Many people in the court are afraid of him, but no one dares to offend him, he has the ability to drive you crazy.
Prime Minister Xia looked at Zi'an, feeling really annoyed. He thought she just hired Murong Zhuangzhuang as a backer. They thought that Murong Zhuangzhuang was nothing to be afraid of, because Murong Zhuangzhuang never cared about things and didn't know much about the laws of the Great Zhou. It is impossible to bend the law for Zi'an's personal gain.
Unexpectedly, she even found Prince Li.
Prince Li led two attendants in. When he arrived at the door, he ordered the attendants to stand outside the gate. He had already stepped in. When he turned around and saw that the positions of the two attendants, one on the left and the other on the right, were slightly different, he took a step back and put the one on the left. The attendant moved towards the door, and did not go in until the two seemed to be facing each other without any deviation.
When Prince Li entered, it was inevitable that everyone would get up to see the ceremony.
Prince Li didn't care, walked straight to Murong Zhuangzhuang, and bowed politely, "Nephew sees little aunt."
Murong Zhuangzhuang looked at him with a smile, "Third brother, you are here!"
"Little aunt ordered, my nephew dare not not come!" Prince Li replied with a respectful face.
