After the concubine ran away with the baby, the abstinent prince went crazy

"You are talking nonsense, you are slandering me," Yuqi was almost angry to death, her face was tense, and she said angrily: "My master is saving Princess Jia, are you blind and can't you see it? If my master wanted to harm someone, he would have escaped long ago, why would he wait for you to slander him?"

"Come on, if your master had the ability to save Princess Jia, would she have waited until now? I'm afraid she has already wanted to be in the limelight, why would she have waited until now?

I think she saw that we arrived just in time and she couldn't escape, so she pretended to save people in order to get away with it."

"Are you guys done yet?" Chu Beiqing suddenly said, "If you like talking so much, I don't mind letting you talk to your heart's content!"

Chu Beiqing's voice was icy and his expression was extremely cold.

When the girls met Chu Beiqing's eyes that were as sharp as a blade and had no warmth in them, their hearts trembled.

They all lowered their heads and dared not say anything more.

Chu Beiqing has been fighting in many battles for many years, and he has an aura that makes people feel like they should stay away from him and dare not act rashly.

At this moment, the murderous aura emanated from his body. He was powerful even without being angry, and made people feel a chill down their spine when they looked at him.

At this time, the Emperor of Chu said to Yan Qingning: "Tell me why Princess Jia is like this."

Prince Rui was immediately frightened when he saw this, afraid that they would mention the little eunuch, and immediately explained anxiously: "Father, this has nothing to do with Yan Qingning. Her being here is purely an accident. I can testify for her."

The Chu Emperor's eyes were sharp. "What evidence can you provide? Did I ask you?"

Chu Yuanli immediately knelt on the ground, "Father, please calm down. It is not that I am overstepping my authority, because I followed Yan Qingning here.

I saw with my own eyes how Yan Qingning jumped into the water to rescue Jiaer."

"Then tell me, why is Princess Jia like this?"

Chu Yuanli was speechless and said hesitantly, "I don't know the specific details."

Chu Yuanli's words were half true and half false, because he saw Yan Qingning was soaked, and made that judgment.

But if he asked her what happened to Princess Jia, he didn't dare to say anything casually.

Yan Xiwei, who was standing by, heard Chu Yuanli pick Yan Qingning out with just a few words.

A hint of resentment flashed across her eyes, and she immediately put on an expression of shame, "Father, calm down. Qing Ning didn't mean it. She was just impulsive...

All the mistakes I made were my fault for not managing the concubines in the mansion. I will accept your punishment, father. I only hope that you will give Qing Ning a chance to mend her ways."

As she spoke, Yan Xiwei knocked her head heavily on the ground and said, "Later, I will go to the Prince of Jin's mansion to plead guilty on behalf of my sister. I will leave it to the Prince of Jin and his wife to deal with."

After hearing this, everyone felt that Yan Xiwei was sensible and understanding.

Some people were indignant and said, "This has nothing to do with Princess Qing. Why should she go to the Prince Jin's mansion to plead guilty? She is the one who hurt people."

"It was Yan Qingning who killed people to cover up the scandal. She should be handed over to the Prince of Jin and his wife for punishment..."

Even the confused Emperor Chu and others looked at Yan Xiwei twice, but did not say anything.

The Emperor of Chu remained silent, but the other princes, including Prince Duan, were all smart men and would naturally not speak rashly.

But this person did not include Chu Beiqing. He frowned, his expression was dignified, and his words were indifferent, "The matter has not been investigated yet, how can we easily draw a conclusion?"

Yan Xiwei's various behaviors today have greatly reduced Chu Beiqing's previous impression of Yan Xiwei as a steady person.

He looked at Yan Xiwei with cold eyes, and said with some rebuke: "It's too early to apologize now."

"Your Highness..." Yan Xiwei's heart sank. She looked at Chu Beiqing and her lips moved.

Yan Xiwei was not sure what Chu Beiqing meant.

Did he see through her thoughts, or was he simply protecting Yan Qingning and speaking for her?

She didn't want to, couldn't, lose Chu Beiqing's favor and trust in her.

If this is the case, it means that all her efforts over such a long time have come to nothing.

Yan Xiwei instinctively wanted to explain, but before she could finish her words, Chu Yuanli angrily said, "You are obviously maliciously framing others. How can you throw dirty water on others? How can you be a lady from a noble family?"

The girls did not dare to refute Chu Beiqing, but they were dissatisfied with what Chu Yuanli said.

"King Rui, how can you say that about us?" Lu Ying felt very aggrieved.

The jealousy in my heart grew even more wildly, and because of his words, I felt my breathing quicken due to shame and anger.

"Tsk..." Yan Qingning sneered.

This immediately attracted everyone's attention. Yan Qingning's face turned as cold as ice. "Speech is indeed an art, Yan Xiwei, you are really good at pretending.

Excuse me, what did I do wrong that I need to correct?"

Yan Xiwei's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said in a choked voice with some grief and helplessness: "Qingning, don't be willful. It will not do you any good if you continue to be stubborn.

It is not terrible to make mistakes, everyone makes mistakes, but as long as we have the courage to face our mistakes and have the courage to admit them, this is the principle of being a human being. "

Yan Qingning looked at Yan Xiwei's whining appearance and wanted to curse her. Her hands itched to slap her twice.

"I think you are only good at making things up and misleading people." Yan Qingning said sarcastically, and then her eyes swept coldly over the noble ladies present: "You all believe what the little eunuch said, and think that I harmed Princess Jia, right?"

The girls were stunned and no one responded for a moment, as no one wanted to be the first to speak out.

Therefore, they all turned their heads away and uttered a contemptuous "Humph!"

That's right, they just don't like her.

God knows, when she was enjoying herself in front of the Empress Dowager, they could only watch from the sidelines.

Now it was finally her turn to look up to them.

Who does she think she is? Why does she get all the good things and still be safe and sound?

People like Yan Qingning should live a humble life.

You should bow down to them when you see them.

At this time, Shu Hui hurried back, quietly walked behind Chu Beiqing, covered his mouth and whispered a few words.

Chu Beiqing raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes dark and unpredictable. If Princess Jiujia died, Yan Qingning would be in trouble.

However, he looked at Yan Qingning again and saw that her expression was cold, but she did not show any sign of uneasiness or panic.

The girl stood there straight, her calmness and composure inexplicably made him develop some trust in her.

But Yan Qingning would not let Lu Ying and the others get away with it like this, she said in a clear voice, "Weren't you quite talkative just now?

What, you've become a coward now? You are no different."

Yan Qingning's words successfully made these arrogant ladies furious.

"Why are you so arrogant? Facts speak louder than words. The witness is right here. Do you still want to quibble?"

"Yan Qingning dares to act and take responsibility. I advise you not to struggle in vain!"

"Yes, that eunuch saw you harm Princess Jia with his own eyes and has already testified against you. You are not expecting anyone to protect you, are you? I advise you to give up on this idea..."

Yan Qingning curled her lips and smiled, "Since you all think that I am the murderer who killed Princess Jia, then please ask the emperor to send someone to investigate thoroughly. I think the emperor is the most fair, so let's use facts and evidence to speak.

But if the final results prove that I am innocent, you have wronged me.

Then you must kowtow to me and apologize, and compensate me for my mental damages, and also promise to avoid me in the future. Do you dare?"
