It was originally a scene of catching rape, but it was abruptly played by Xiao Ting as a murder. At this moment, the relevant people came out to confront it, and Elder Xu Ge directly called Dali Temple to host it.
It can be seen that the matter is serious, and from the side, he can also see clearly his anger.
And dissatisfaction with the Ninth Prince.
The Minister of Dali Temple came out immediately after hearing the words.
"My minister Dali Temple Qing Zuo Leng has met the two princes, Mr. Xu Ge."
"You don't need to talk nonsense, just get to the point." White bearded Xu Ge stared.
"Yes, yes, yes." Zuo Leng was in a dilemma, the Ninth Prince had been acting like an invisible man for so many years, only heard that he was in poor health, often lethargic, and had no real power.
The world knows very little about it, and neither does he.
Now that something like this has happened, he doesn't know what to do. They are all royal relatives and dignitaries, and he can't afford to offend any of them!
"Well, please tell the prince to describe what happened, so that the officials can make a judgment." In the end, he had no choice but to bow his hands and open his mouth with a smile.
It seems, it seems, it should be that the Ninth Prince seems to be easier to talk to.
The Ninth Prince seemed to be thinking, but he didn't intend to speak.
Everyone smelled something strange and were guessing.
"What is there to say, many guards saw the Ninth Concubine pushing the Shizi Concubine down with their own eyes, can this be false?"
Prince Rui is not good with the Ninth Prince, but he is not fake kind to the officials below.
"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing that the Ninth Prince did not argue, Dali Temple Qing Zuo Leng had no choice but to reply slowly, "According to the criminal laws of the empire, it is true that the Ninth Concubine pushed the son of Rui Rui into the water."
He spoke slowly, for fear of offending some nobleman, he looked around, and the smile on his face could hardly hold back.
"Should, when..."
"What do you do? How did you become the Minister of Dali Temple?"
"Chen..." Dali Siqing replied tremblingly, thinking about what to say so as not to make mistakes.
"Let's talk, I will bear all the punishments alone."
There was an uproar in the hall, the Ninth Prince was taking the responsibility for the Ninth Concubine.
Many people recalled events from long ago, and some rumors.
For this seemingly premeditated falling into the water, they all took the attitude of watching the show from the sidelines.
"The Ninth Prince is really brave." Now, even Xu Ge frowned, but more mockingly.
"The concubine is the wife of this king, so I will naturally bear the consequences of what she did wrong. Xu Ge is too old."
Xiao Ting wiped her mouth, and finally lost interest in this non-technical answer.
Seeing that her master finally came back to his senses, Hong Shao was excited and worried at the same time.
"Princess, what should we do?"
Xiao Ting looked back and showed her an evil smile, the corners of her lips curled up, she got up and walked towards the Ninth Prince step by step.
Swaying and graceful, step by step
No, Miss Xiao Liu can only move in two ways, either in a hurry, or in a hurry.
Naturally, it only applies to the latter at the moment, "It doesn't matter whether the prince's words are true or not, this concubine loves to hear them!"
Xiao Ting is not deaf, so she could hear their argument. The reason why she kept quiet was to see how the Ninth Prince, her cheap husband, would deal with this matter.
Unexpectedly, this man is really...
It left her speechless, and she actually planned to take all the blame on herself.
"This king never tells lies." He didn't bother to tell lies either, the Ninth Prince's voice was calm, with an unquestionable determination.
Although Xiao Ting is an inconspicuous little person in this world, she has never been the one to be bullied.
She walked lightly to the Ninth Prince's side, looked around, her eyes swept over everyone, the evil smile slightly raised at the corner of her mouth was different from the innocence of the past.
With a bit of chilling meaning, it is shocking, but when I look at it again, I think it's just a cute little girl.
Her voice was crisp and clear, like beads falling on a jade plate, and she said, "You want to know the truth of the matter."
"Dali Siqing, hehe, it should be a big official position, otherwise this ferocious looking old man, and this, prince..."
Xiao Ting looked Prince Rui up and down, they had met face to face, in Prince Rui's residence, it really was a narrow road to enemies, and there was no good person in Prince Rui's residence.
"They won't ask you to judge, then well, you can judge for this concubine!"
Dali Temple Qing Zuo Leng repeatedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. I thought this matter was over, but I didn't expect it to become more difficult. First, the Ninth Prince pleaded guilty, leaving him no way to judge, and now there is another lawless, uh, Miss Xiao Liu who can be described as "reckless".
When I met her, I was doomed this time.
Not knowing what Xiao Ting would say, he had to prick up his ears and listen carefully.
I can't wait to slap myself, why don't you say you are sick at home today? It's fun to watch, and his girl will not marry the third prince.
"That's fine, then let the Ninth Princess tell me about the situation at that time."
Old Xu Ge opened his mouth and bowed his hands to Xiao Ting as a salute, "Don't let others say that I, Xu Jiangrui, bullied you as a little girl."
Xiao Ting turned her head to look at this old man with white beard and white hair, yes, he does have the image of a lion's roar, although he is old, his eyes are piercing, he should be a practicing family.
She raised her small face and smiled evilly, which was quite different from her previous image.
"Okay, since Mr. Xu wants to listen, then this concubine would rather be respectful than obedient."
After Xiao Ting finished speaking, she looked at Lord Ninth with a smile and said, winking mischievously at him, "My lord, I can't blame my concubine for this, they asked my concubine to say it."
Ninth Prince frowned inaudibly, reached out to hold her hand, Xiao Ting didn't dodge, let him hold it, but didn't stop talking.
"Who can tell this concubine first, what is the relationship between that girl from the Xu family, the present concubine Prince Rui and my lord?"
"Oh, or what was the relationship before?"
One word stirred up waves, when Xiao Ting said the first sentence, everyone was stunned, they didn't expect her to ask such a question, they were all a little speechless, but more eyes were on the Ninth Prince and Prince Rui.
Many people were puzzled and didn't know why Xiao Ting asked such a question, but some people's eyes flickered, obviously knowing something, and some people were watching the fun with a hint of veiled ridicule.
There were whispered discussions in the hall, but no one answered her question. In the end, it became more and more violent. It was the empress dowager who said, "Presumptuous, you have something to talk about, what are you talking about?"
"Hehe..." Xiao Ting didn't turn her head to look at her, but gave her a butt, facing everyone, and said to herself, "I'm just curious, what is the relationship between this Princess Rui and my lord? Why do you date my lord alone again and again?"
"Oh, this concubine doesn't read too much, the word dating seems to be inappropriate, so use 'alone'!"
The hand held by the Ninth Prince did not change at all, Xiao Ting raised her eyes and gave the man a cool look, she was really abnormal.
Not even a trace of emotion is revealed, who is it
Seeing that the Ninth Prince did not stop her, Xiao Ting continued: "My concubine has seen them together twice, oh, don't get me wrong, this concubine only saw Prince Rui's first concubine? There is no servant girl and guards around her, but she is standing alone with the Ninth Prince, her eyes are hazy, um, I must have suffered some grievances in Prince Rui's residence, I want to talk to the prince."
"It's just the Ninth Prince, one is not his brother, and the other is not a good friend, so this concubine is guessing, are they still childhood sweethearts?"
boom!
Everyone in the main hall exchanged glances with the naked eye, "You also know that the Ninth Prince never bothered to talk about these things, but this concubine clearly saw them standing together, and that Princess Rui Shizi even held the prince's hand, this concubine can't sit idly by!"
Now everyone didn't need to think about it at all, they had already imagined what had happened, the Ninth Concubine must have found out about the meeting between the Ninth Prince and Princess Rui, and in a moment of panic, she accidentally pushed her off the arch bridge and fell into the water.
This is understandable.
But what Xiao Ting said next surprised them.
"You are really not cute, and you are silent. What's the point of being silent? Did that woman take the initiative to find you, or did you find him? You didn't make it clear to my concubine just now, can you say it now?"
"My concubine tells you that if you marry me, you can no longer feel compassion for other women, do you understand?"
Everyone found that this girl was really strange, she spoke in the same tone as others, but changed into another tone when speaking to the Ninth Prince, there was a kind of coquettish taste in it.
This makes many people can't bear to look directly at it. There is no other reason. In the public, how can anyone be so shameless.
But no one dared to speak of her anymore, the empress dowager's words were ignored just now.
The Ninth Prince still didn't speak, standing there like a sculpture, Xiao Ting made a fuss, and then continued to say to everyone: "Look, I can't ask what's going on, why don't you ask, when I arrived, I saw Princess Rui pulling my lord's sleeve, so I went up to question my lord."
"As for how Princess Rui fell into the water, I don't know. Maybe she couldn't think about it for a while and was about to jump into the river. After jumping, she realized that the lake couldn't drown her at all. Fortunately, she was lying in it waiting to die."
"What the Ninth Concubine means is that this king's daughter-in-law fell into the water, it has nothing to do with you?" Prince Rui listened to her nonsense, and finally found the point, he was so angry that his heart ached, his liver hurt, and his forehead hurt, but he still pretended to be calm and talked to her about other aspects.
In fact, not only Prince Rui, but others also understood what Xiao Ting meant.
They are all a little speechless, so you just talked nonsense for a long time? This is shirking responsibility.
Xiao Ting turned her head and gave Prince Rui a white look, and said: "Which ear did you hear this imperial concubine say that your daughter-in-law's falling into the water has nothing to do with this imperial concubine?"
"You..." Prince Rui took a step forward angrily, it seemed that he was about to make a move towards Xiao Ting.
Xiao Ting's small eyes flashed and she was about to retreat, but before she could move, she was wrapped around her waist by a hand and pulled to the master's side.
The Ninth Prince took a step forward, led Xiao Ting to move across, then kept a distance of ten feet from Prince Rui, and looked back.
Such a restless expression made Prince Rui feel a chill in his heart for no reason.
