His Royal Highness King Jing came to Dali Temple to hear the case in person, which is a great event.
Just after dawn, all the officials at all levels in the Dali Temple were in place, even the great pharmacist Nangong arrived, no one dared to neglect. The main and side doors of the public hall were all open, and the yamen and guards retreated to the left and right and stood in three rows. The whole scene was solemn and quiet, with a serious atmosphere.
Although Jun Jiuchen was dressed in casual clothes and had half black hair, the arrogance of the king exuded from his body did not diminish at all. He sat high and high on the presiding judge's seat, his face was as cold as ice, he didn't say a word, and a casual look was enough to make the whole audience tremble with fear!
Mr. Jiang, Minister of Dali Temple, should have been seated in the first jury seat, but at this moment he was standing, his face was pale, his legs were weak, and he was too regretful. The faces of the Qi family siblings were not much better either. Qi Yu, who always had his eyes high above his head and was defiant, didn't dare to raise his head in front of His Royal Highness Prince Jing.
Only Princess Huaining was supporting her. She moved to Qi Yu's side and said in a low voice, "Brother Yu, don't worry too much. It's a big deal and I'll take it on myself. I've already sent someone to find my concubine mother and the great emperor." Brother. I promise he won't be able to touch the Qi family!"
Whether His Royal Highness Prince Jing can move the Qi family, Qi Yu has no idea. However, he knew that as long as Princess Huaining was willing to take the blame, the Qi family would be able to escape this catastrophe.
He secretly pulled Princess Huaining's hand, his voice was much gentler than usual, "Huaining, I have wronged you."
Princess Huaining was excited, and her mind was turbulent, "Brother Yu, for you, I am willing to be wronged."
Qi Fufang, who had committed the crime for Princess Huaining, overheard this conversation, and was really dumb and unable to speak out. Due to her identity, she could only admit it, even she dared not tell the truth to Qi Yu.
The whole hall was silent for a long time, Jun Jiuchen still didn't say a word, he didn't intend to start a trial, and no one dared to urge him. He was undoubtedly waiting for Gu Feiyan.
Gu Feiyan didn't wait for the imperial doctor to come, she made the medicine from a small medicine cauldron and applied it hastily, and asked Xia Xiaoman to help her rush to the court. Although the toes of her feet did not lose the pain during the execution after putting on shoes and socks, she was still dressed neatly and decently, not embarrassed.
The cell was at the back of the court and in front of the court, and the distance was not too far, but she couldn't walk, and walked for a long time before arriving at the court.
Most of the people didn't expect her to come, and there was a lot of discussion all of a sudden.
After all, except Mrs. Jiang and the others, no one inside or outside the hall knew what happened last night, or why she came here? What happened to her injury? As for Qi Yu and the others, their expressions were undoubtedly even uglier.
Gu Feiyan didn't care about these people. Seeing that His Royal Highness King Jing hadn't opened yet, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, walked in quickly, stood still with pain, and saluted, "My servant, Gu Feiyan, pays homage to His Highness Prince Jing."
I don't know if Jun Jiuchen has been waiting for a long time, or because of other reasons, he seems to be more unhappy than before. He glanced at Gu Feiyan's feet, and said in a cold tone, "Come here, give me a seat."
"Thank you Your Highness!"
Just as Gu Feiyan was seated, Jun Jiuchen immediately took a picture of Xingmu, and said coldly, "Let's open!"
Gu Feiyan thought to herself, His Highness Prince Jing must be impatient.
The loud clapping made the already quiet courtroom more serious and solemn. Officials at all levels took their seats one after another, but Master Jiang and Qi Yu were still standing. Seeing this, everyone realized that something was wrong.
Master Jiang couldn't help it, and was about to come out, but the first sentence Jun Jiuchen said was, "Huai Ning, who will allow you to interrogate people for Dali Temple?"
Princess Huaining was startled.
Isn't it just a change of medicine, isn't it just a lowly maid, what is Prince Jing really serious about? How could he embarrass her so much in public
Everyone was even more stunned, not knowing the situation
Gu Feiyan was also very surprised, she thought His Royal Highness Prince Jing would teach Princess Huaining a lesson in private, but would only use Lord Jiang as a knife in court. After all, Princess Huaining is a member of the royal family and the jewel in the Emperor's palm. Even if Prince Jing doesn't care about the face of the royal family, he still has to give face to the emperor.
Could it be that His Highness Prince Jing wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the arrogance of Concubine Yun and the First Prince behind Princess Huaining
Gu Feiyan didn't think so deeply, she was more excited than unexpected!
She didn't intend to let Princess Huaining go, but now with His Highness Prince Jing's attitude, she thought, she should be able to get back all three debts in one go.
"me… "
Princess Huaining hesitated for a long time before coming up with an absurd reason, "Master Jiang dared to break into my princess's palace to arrest people, and didn't even say hello to her! Of course, this princess must find out what happened. Otherwise, otherwise... how will this princess gain a foothold in the future?"
Jun Jiuchen didn't comment, and asked, "Who allowed you to lynch to extract a confession?"
Princess Huaining stammered again, "I, I'm interrogating, not extorting a confession! Gu Feiyan took the medicinal food package, and she is the most suspected. I, I don't scare her, can she tell the truth?"
Jun Jiuchen still didn't comment, and didn't pursue it any further. He waved her to step aside.
Princess Huaining finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Qi Yu, who was standing beside her, had already turned dark. His Highness Prince Jing did not punish Princess Huaining, but slapped Princess Huaining and the Qi family in the face!
No matter how stupid people are, they can understand that Princess Huaining's actions are intended to protect the Qi family, and torture him to extract a confession from Qi Yu's fiancée! No, people inside and outside the hall have long been whispering, and many acquaintances have cast contemptuous glances at him.
Gu Feiyan laughed, snickering in her heart, laughing so hard that she forgot the pain in her hands and feet.
Everyone thought His Highness Prince Jing would not be held accountable if he slapped him in the face, and even Mr. Jiang was secretly relieved. After all, His Royal Highness Prince Jing is of the same generation as Princess Huaining, so if there is no trouble with the emperor, it is really impossible to touch her.
But!
Jun Jiuchen was unexpected again.
Looking at Master Jiang, he directly ordered, "Come here, remove Jiang Li'an from the position of Minister of Dali Temple, and demote him to the Northern Territory, let him reflect on himself, what's wrong?"
Master Jiang finally couldn't hold on and fell to his knees, trembling. Does he still need to reflect? Of course he knew what was wrong!
The audience fell into silence, even Gu Feiyan felt a little palpitating. It is said that His Royal Highness Prince Jing is old-fashioned and ruthless, and a few words can determine life and death, she has seen it today.
If you just said that you slapped Princess Huaining and the Qi family in the face, then this action can be called severe punishment!
No trial, no conviction, direct dismissal and demote to reflect. This is clearly a warning to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Whoever dares to give face to Princess Huaining and the Qi family in the future, whoever dares to engage in malpractice for personal gain, Jiang Lian's end will be the consequence!
Seeing Jiang Li'an being escorted away, Princess Huaining lost all face, but she still wanted to save face. She whispered, "Brother Yu, I was negligent in this matter. You, don't worry. I will protect you about Sister Fufang's matter!"
Qi Yu was so depressed that he didn't want to speak, but he still responded, "I have wronged the princess."
After Jiang Li'an left, Jun Jiuchen finally officially started the trial. He said, "Come here, bring Chen Sanyuan up!"
