I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 228 Satisfactory Explanation

Xiao Jingfan spoke at the right time: "Where is the witness now?"

"Your Majesty, the witness is my maid Luzhu, who is waiting outside the palace now." Weiming Yujin said, "Luzhu can testify for me, and everything I said is true."

Everyone: "..."

Is this princess stupid? Regardless of whether this maid is an insider or not, she will definitely speak on her side. How can her testimony be believed?

Yin Taiyu snorted coldly: "The princess asked the maid to testify. Does that mean whatever the princess says is true? Is the princess treating us like fools?"

Hearing this, Wei Ming Yu Jin blinked in confusion, "Can't a maid serve as a witness?"

Wei Mingliang: “…”

Zhao Shiqi: “…”

Everyone: "..."

Xiao Jingfan didn't expect that the princess didn't even know this, so he asked politely, "Princess, do you have any other witnesses?"

Wei Ming Yu Jin shook his head honestly.

Yin Meizhen asked her not to tell anyone about the dance so as to avoid being known by the Second Prince. She was only thinking about helping Yin Meizhen at the time, and did not tell anyone except Luzhu who wanted to help her hide her whereabouts.

Of course, there are no other witnesses now.

Zhao Shiqi used his eyes so hard that his eyelids almost cramped, but he still couldn't stop her from shaking her head, and she could only hold her forehead with her hand.

At this critical moment, even if there is no one, you can make up one. Don't be so honest!
Xiao Jingfan said: "If the princess has no other evidence, then what she just said is..."

"I have evidence." Wei Ming Yu Jin suddenly remembered and pointed at Wei Ming Liang, "The pearl flower that Princess Mei Zhen gave me is still with my second brother."

Wei Mingliang: “…”

Can you use your brain? How can a cheap pearl flower that has nothing special about it and can be taken by any random palace maid be used as evidence?

Besides, the pearl flower was taken away before he could move.

Xiao Jingfan looked at him: "Do you take what the princess said seriously?"

"There was indeed a pearl flower." Wei Mingliang said with a dark face, "but it disappeared after I woke up."

Everyone: "..."

After all, isn't this still nothing?

Wei Ming Yu Jin tried hard to make up for her mistake and opened her mouth to say something, but Zhao Shiqi reached out and pulled her sleeve and shook his head at her.

It doesn't matter if you can't help, but don't make things worse!
Weiming Yujin pursed his lips, lowered his head and said nothing.

It was she who harmed the second prince. She will never lie for others again!

Xiao Jingfan looked at Wei Mingliang and said, "You keep saying that you were framed, but I have already sent the imperial physician to check the incense burner in Ganquan Hall, and there is no incense in it."

Wei Mingliang pursed his lips and thought to himself that this is your territory, so naturally you have the final say.

Xiao Jingfan asked: "If you didn't bully Princess Meizhen, why didn't you leave an explanation but instead fled through the window?"

Wei Mingliang glanced at him sideways.

Knowing that you were being plotted against, you still left an explanation, waiting to be thrown mud at?
Moreover, if the Ganquan Palace had not dug a trap and he and Tuoba Yong had accidentally stepped on it and fell into it, with their martial arts skills, how could they have been captured so easily by the Yulin Guards? This was linked to another, and if it wasn't for the handwriting of His Majesty, he would have written his name upside down!

Seeing that Wei Mingliang did not answer, Xiao Jingfan ordered the little eunuch who led Tuoba Yong to be brought up.

The young eunuch told the whole story of what he had seen and heard, including that he saw Wei Mingliang, who seemed to be drunk, going to Ganquan Palace, how Tuoba Yong found someone to lead the way, and witnessed Yin Meizhen running out of Ganquan Palace screaming for help and how miserable and pitiful she looked, and how Tuoba Yong went into the palace to check and did not return for a long time.

After he finished speaking, Xiao Jingfan asked Tuoba Yong: "Is what this servant said false?"

Tuoba Yong was extremely conflicted, because based on what he saw, he was certain that it was his own prince who bullied Princess Meizhen.

His conscience and loyalty were torn between them, leaving him unable to answer for a long time.

How could everyone not see the situation?
Most of what the young eunuch said was true.

Seeing this, Yin Taiyu was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up, saying angrily: "Meizhen cannot be humiliated in vain. The Second Prince must give me Goryeo an explanation for this matter. Otherwise, even if we have to tear our faces apart and fight against each other, I, the Goryeo warriors, will seek justice for our princess!"

"Don't be angry, Third Prince. Sit down and have a cup of tea." Xiao Jingfan ordered someone to serve tea. After Yin Taiyu sat down, he turned to look at Wei Mingliang. "Although it was caused by alcohol, as the Second Prince, he will definitely give Princess Meizhen a satisfactory explanation. Isn't that right?"

Everyone knew what this satisfactory explanation meant.

Bullying the girl and ruining her innocence will make the marriage impossible. In order to save the reputation of both countries, the girl must be married, and more betrothal gifts must be prepared.

Wei Mingliang naturally understood the meaning of Xiao Jingfan's words. If it was Chu Liuzheng, he would also accept it. After all, he really wanted to bring the person back to Xixia for a thorough investigation. However, the target was Yin Meizhen, and she had made him suffer such a great loss, so he was completely unwilling and kept silent with a gloomy face.

The situation was at a stalemate. Seeing Yin Taiyu's eyes bulging with sparks and his fists clenched, as if he was about to pounce on Wei Mingliang and beat him, Zhao Shiqi had no choice but to speak for Wei Mingliang: "Your Majesty, this matter concerns the diplomatic relations between Xixia and Goryeo. We cannot be careless. Can you give us some time to discuss it?"

The situation was already decided and there was no point in talking any further. Xiao Jingfan naturally agreed and ordered people to take them to the right side hall.

Yoon Tae-woo took Yoon Mi-jin to the left hall under the pretext of concern.

Empress Zhong was tired after watching the show. Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, she suggested going to Wanshou Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager.

If the incident in Ganquan Palace had not happened, the emperor would have gone to Wanshou Palace for a family banquet after admiring the lanterns in the Imperial Garden, and as in previous years, he and the concubines would have stayed up all night with the empress dowager.

This year it will be later.

Since the emperor was delayed due to something, she, as his daughter-in-law, naturally had to go to the empress dowager first to show her filial piety.

Xiao Jingfan warned: "Don't talk too much, don't disturb the Queen Mother's interest."

"Yes." Empress Zhong bowed and said, "I will take my leave."

She put her hand on Qiu Sui's, walked out of Wenhua Hall, and sat in the sedan chair to Wanshou Palace.

At the same time, in the right hall, Wei Ming Yu Jin was crying and apologizing to Wei Ming Liang, "Second brother, I just wanted to help her, I didn't know it would turn out like this. I'm sorry, I will never lie to you again, you can hit me and scold me, I was wrong."

"You!" Wei Mingliang never thought that someone as simple as Wei Ming Yujin would help outsiders deceive him. He was furious and raised his right hand in anger.

Wei Ming Yu Jin was so scared that she closed her eyes tightly, her eyelashes trembling, and the fearful expression on her face showed that the word "fear" was written all over her face.

Wei Mingliang didn't fight any more in the end. He angrily threw his sleeves and said, "Everyone, get out. I want to talk to the master alone."

"Oh." Weiming Yujin responded obediently and pulled Tuoba Yong, who was also dejected, out.

The two unlucky guys who were cheated sat at the door, looking at the sky and the ground, sighing one after another. One decided not to lie again, and the other decided to do everything for His Highness and lie when necessary.

The atmosphere in the house was not good.

Zhao Shiqi looked solemn as he stared at Wei Mingliang: "The princess said that Your Highness was deceived by a pearl flower. Your Highness, can you tell me what kind of pearl flower is so magical that Your Highness lost his guard when he saw it and fell into this trap?"
