His majestic gaze rested on Helian Kuang's body, and the old emperor's tone softened a lot.
"Kang'er, come here." This was the first time he called him Kuang'er in public. Obviously, the old emperor's attitude towards Helian Kuang began to change. At least, I started to take it seriously.
Seeing this, He Lianheng frowned and clenched his fists subconsciously.
A look of surprise flashed across He Liankuang's face, and then he calmed down. He stepped forward, and saw the old emperor signaling for him to sit on the trial table. This meant that he was asked to judge the case.
The next time seemed to go smoothly and surprisingly, Shangguan Xuanying gave various excuses at first, but as various evidences were brought out by Helian Kuang, and even the maids of Shangguan Xuanying's family confessed, Shangguan Xuanying even I want to deny it, but I can't help but be speechless in the face of these evidences.
The truth of the matter was finally revealed, and the wonderful inferences Du Suxi mentioned before were also explained by He Liankuang, every word of which was amazing. Those who originally looked down on Du Suxi and thought that Du Suxi had no real ability. The princes and ministers looked at Du Suxi with admiration in their eyes at this moment.
Even the emperor couldn't help but praise him, and the ordinary people who were watching looked at Du Suxi in disbelief.
In fact, these evidences are reasonable to say and infer, but very few people pay attention to them, let alone not only notice them, but also make clever use of them.
This woman is truly a wonder of the world!
For a moment, Du Suxi's limelight even faintly overshadowed everyone in the room. I believe that after retiring, Du Suxi will once again become the talk of the people after dinner in recent months.
Under the overwhelming evidence, Shangguan Xuanying was finally unable to refute and admitted everything. After listening to all this, Wang Yi, the Marquis of Junyuan, realized that he had really wronged Du Suxi all along. In his heart, he felt guilty and angry. He was even more concerned. Looking at Shangguan Xuanying's face, he didn't care about her identity. He raised his sword and was about to slash at Shangguan Xuanying. However, he was stopped by the guards in time, and the scene almost got out of control.
Seeing this, the old emperor could only temporarily take Shangguan Xuanying into custody. After appeasing Lord Junyuan, he decided to punish Shangguan Xuanying.
As the saying goes, if the emperor breaks the law, he is as guilty as the common people. However, it depends on the person whether he says it or does it. However, this matter is of great importance. With so many eyes watching, the old emperor cannot Too much abuse for personal gain.
After careful consideration, the old emperor finally spoke. The general idea is that Shangguan Xuanying's parents sacrificed their lives for the country and played an indispensable role. Therefore, Shangguan Xuanying was exempted from the death penalty and could not escape. She was stripped of her position as princess, became a commoner, was exiled to the frontier, and could never enter the capital.
In any case, his life was saved, but it was hard to say whether Shangguan Xuanying could accept this fact.
Shangguan Xuanying was immediately stunned. She looked at the emperor with a majestic face, and then at He Lianheng, who had been silent. After all, she was a woman. Even though she was arrogant and domineering, she knew she was afraid at this time.
"Third Highness, Third Highness, I am your fiancée. We have already agreed to have a baby kiss. You can't ignore me. Please help me beg the emperor for mercy. I was just temporarily blinded by jealousy. This That’s what happened, I didn’t mean it, I didn’t mean it.”
As Shangguan Xuanying spoke, her expression even made her want to cry, which made the people watching feel so soft-hearted.
But He Lianheng was unmoved. On the contrary, after Shangguan Xuanying's reminder, he stood up and asked the old emperor.
"Father, the Shangguan family has bad conduct and is very jealous. I dare not have such a vicious woman. Please take back my life!"
At this point, even He Lianheng refused to have her.
Shangguan Xuanying tasted the feeling of despair for the first time. That is
A feeling like falling into an ice cellar, but even colder and colder than the ice cellar. That feeling makes one almost feel worse than death.
The old emperor nodded in agreement. They have no relationship anymore. Shangguan Xuanying's originally ordinary face became more and more distorted. She looked at He Lianheng and asked with gritted teeth.
"He Lianheng, do you really don't want me anymore?"
However, He Lianheng did not answer, and did not even look at Shangguan Xuanying. He directly regarded Shangguan Xuanying as nothing.
Such indifference, Shangguan Xuanying has always been a proud and arrogant person, how can he endure such indifference? Looking at He Lianheng, Shangguan Xuanying immediately became furious, snorted coldly, and said through gritted teeth. "He Lianheng, I will definitely make you regret it!"
After saying this, before He Liankuang could react, he saw Shangguan Xuanying move and rush towards Du Suxi. Her movement was so sudden that no one could react. They were really caught off guard. .
By the time everyone reacted, it was already a step too late.
A soft hand directly attacked Du Suxi's throat and held it tightly. A look of struggle appeared on Du Suxi's face, and she subconsciously held Shangguan Xuanying's hand with both hands, but it seemed to be of no avail. Shangguan Xuanying still held her throat tightly, with a look in her eyes. A fierce killing intent.
"You bitch, I'm going to make you die badly!"
Shangguan Xuanying's eyes showed a crazy look, and he looked at Du Suxi fiercely, and the hand holding Du Suxi's neck tightened again.
The old emperor had just stood up and was about to leave. He looked at the commotion on the field, anger appeared on his face, and he looked at Shangguan Xuanying and said angrily.
"Shangguan Xuanying! Let me go! Otherwise, the crime will be increased!"
At this point, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired. Shangguan Xuanying knew in his heart, where would he really let go? He simply ignored the old emperor, looked at He Lianheng aggressively, and said with gritted teeth.
"Third Highness, I have always been sincere to you, and everything I did was because of you. But today you want to kill me because of a vixen. So today, I will kill this vixen too. , Even on the road to hell, I still have a companion!"
After Shangguan Xuanying said that, he secretly exerted force in his hands, as if he was really going to strike. Her actions shocked everyone who saw her. He Lianheng rushed forward regardless of anything, but Helian Kuang, whose expression remained unchanged, remained calm.
What just happened was fast and thrilling, but based on his understanding of Du Suxi, he could easily detect that something was wrong.
How vigilant was Du Suxi? Through their repeated contacts, He Liankuang had already gained some understanding. Although Shangguan Xuanying knew some martial arts, he was definitely no match for Du Suxi. What's more, although the scene just now was thrilling, he had always seen it clearly. Du Suxi showed no resistance from beginning to end!
This already explains the problem.
After careful consideration, Helian Kuang somewhat understood what Du Suxi was thinking.
Du Suxi's limelight today is really too great. As the saying goes, if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them. If Du Suxi resists today, shows her strong side, and lets the world see this woman's trump card again, I am afraid that as soon as Du Suxi walks out, everyone will be afraid, and Du Suxi's situation will become more and more serious. difficult.
On the contrary, if Du Suxi did not resist, Shangguan Xuanying would still take action and show her identity as a weak woman to the fullest. For her, this is not a good thing.
This Du Suxi indeed had a plan in mind, and He Liankuang had to sigh in his heart again. This Du Suxi is really thoughtful, which makes people have to be wary.
As for Du Suxi's safety, He Liankuang is not worried at all. This Du Suxi has never been a reckless person. Since he dares to make such a design, it means that she has a way out. He is stupid Instead of worrying about her, it is better to be calm and sit back and watch the show.
Facts have proved that what Helian Kuang thought was even more correct. At the critical moment, a guard suddenly stepped forward and hit Shangguan Xuanying's wrist with a precise stone.
A sense of soreness and tingling came over Shangguan Xuanying. His arms felt numb. Where was he left with any strength? By the time she came to her senses, Du Suxi had already escaped from her hands and stood behind the heavy guards who came over. She touched her chest and breathed in the fresh air with great difficulty. Anyone who saw that look would still be surprised. There is some heart-wrenching.
The dignitaries present understood even more clearly.
It's over, it's over, now Princess Xuanying is afraid that she is completely over. After being convicted, if she screamed hoarsely and begged for mercy regardless of face, she might still be able to get the emperor to give her a lighter sentence. But now, not only does she not show any sign of remorse, on the contrary, she even shows her face directly in front of her. In front of the emperor, he dealt with a weak woman and ignored the emperor's order. This time, Princess Xuanying was undoubtedly digging her own grave.
Everyone invariably showed a look of gloating. In the past, Shangguan Xuanying thought very highly of himself and said whatever he thought of, which offended many people. Now that they have ended up like this, it would be a shame if they didn't add insult to injury. Okay, let alone helping, that is simply impossible.
"Shangguan Xuanying, you are so brave. How dare you not listen to my words?" The old emperor was angry. This was the first time that someone had challenged his authority in this way.
Before Shangguan Xuanying could open his mouth to defend himself, the old emperor waved his hand and gave instructions. "Drag Shangguan Xuanying down and hit twenty big boards with a heavy blow, and imitate the ban!"
After saying that, the old emperor seemed to be unable to stand it any longer. He snorted coldly and left directly with his hands behind his back. Only Shangguan Xuanying was left with a dazed look on his face, a look of confusion in his eyes.
There was no excitement to be seen at this time, and the princes also left on their own. Du Suxi watched Shangguan Xuanying being dragged down, and followed him to a secluded place to make sure that no one saw him, and then stopped the detained person. The soldier guarding Shangguan Xuanying took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeves and said.
"Brothers of the army, thank you for your hard work. This is my little sister's thought. After all, this matter is of great importance. The emperor personally ordered that twenty big boards must be played, and that means not a single board should be missing. If it is fraudulent, I'm afraid Long Yan will be furious, so thank you two soldiers for your hard work."
Although her tone was gentle and soft, the threat and warning in her words was already clear. However, her words were not harsh. On the contrary, they were a bit gentle, which made people not angry. Coupled with the doubts of a few pieces of silver, the soldiers naturally agreed happily.
After all, Shangguan Xuanying is no longer the princess, but a female prisoner exiled to the frontier. What is there to be afraid of
"You, you are so despicable, I will kill you!" Shangguan Xuanying suddenly raised his head and saw Du Suxi yelling viciously, with a fierce look in his eyes. However, as soon as she made a move, she was restrained and unable to move.
Du Suxi looked at Shangguan Xuanying who was struggling non-stop, with a mocking smile on her lips. She lowered her head and looked at Shangguan Xuanying's exhalation.
"Princess Xuanying, I wish you a smooth, happy and healthy journey ahead."
"you!… "
Du Suxi turned her head, ignoring the yelling behind her, and walked calmly, as if nothing could penetrate her eyes.
She would never be soft-hearted towards those who wanted to kill her. Even if she had the opportunity, she would not hesitate to add insult to injury. This Shangguan Xuanying was really bullying others!
