When Emperor Tiansheng heard the phrase "If you want to mess with me", his eyes flashed, hesitant a little, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind-when did Shao Ning become so good at talking
Just as he was about to ask questions, he suddenly heard a low cry from the guard who restrained the corpse.
Everyone looked and saw that the guard slowly peeled off something from the assassin's face, and then held it up in his hands. It was an extremely well-made human skin mask.
Just now Shaoning smashed the assassin Tianling with a stone, a lot of blood soaked his face, the mask was soaked to the point that the corners of the mask were soaked, the guards found something strange when they collected the body, they peeled it off with their fingernails, only to find the second face.
The second prince quickly passed by, probed his head to look, and immediately said: "Hey, this person looks familiar!"
The seventh prince groaned and remained silent, while the fifth prince hugged his chest and said calmly: "Isn't this the martial arts master that the sixth son invited for the palace a few days ago? I have seen it in the palace before."
The prince was startled.
He also knows this person.
A month ago, he chatted with Lao Liu once, and mentioned that there were always people spying on the East Palace, and the brothers were staring at him, which made him feel uneasy, so Lao Liu said to help him find a reliable master of the rivers and lakes to guard the safety of the East Palace, and then he invited him. This person is said to be a top master of Yijianmen in Huzhuo Snow Mountain. He was very happy to see him once. Let's put him in another villa for inspection first, but he also forgot about it later, he didn't expect that there was something wrong with this person!
Probably because when Lao Liu brought that person to him for inspection, he was seen by those brothers who liked to rush through the door from time to time, so they thought it was Lao Liu.
The prince lowered his eyes, and thought about it nervously for a while, should we talk about this matter, or should we not talk about it
However, he made a decision almost immediately - he had already been placed under suspicion, and if he wanted to explain the truth, he would be in trouble even if he couldn't get rid of it, why bother
As for the sixth child... I am the king, he is the minister, and it is only natural for the minister to die for the king, so please yourself!
Having made up his mind, he didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately said: "I have seen it before, this is the sixth brother's palace guard!"
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone's expressions changed - Ning Yi has always been a princeling, very loyal, and all the princes thought that he wanted to defend Ning Yi, this is also a necessary means for the monarch to win the hearts of his subordinates, and he does not want the prince to be ruthless So far, this is about to lose his pawn and save his handsomeness!
Behind the screen, Feng Zhiwei's heart suddenly brightened like snow, she turned her head and took a look at Ning Yi.
This glance flowed, with infinite meaning, Ning Yi followed her gaze, and smiled lightly, with a cool but firm smile.
But in that smile, Feng Zhiwei understood the bitterness and desolation that was well preserved.
Outside the screen, the princes had reached a tacit agreement - it would be good to overthrow Ning Yi if the prince could not be overthrown. Everyone was happy to go to the prince's wings. Since the prince himself threw stones first, they were even less polite.
What's more, Ning Yi was successful in rescuing him just now, if he doesn't seize the opportunity to push him, there is no guarantee that he will not fall into the eyes of the old man and rise to the top.
"Qingming Academy seems to be the sixth younger brother's supervisor before the prince, and he is naturally familiar with all these paths." The fifth prince with a stern face spoke first.
"It's no wonder that there are countless people with high status and means who are familiar with the effectiveness of the road inside and outside Qingming..." The second prince shook his legs, opened his eyes and said nonsense, "Now it seems that the sixth brother is also suitable."
"Let's wait to make a conclusion." The Seventh Prince of the Xianwang said earnestly, "We must allow Sixth Brother to have a chance to defend himself, and ask Father to judge."
Feng Zhiwei listened behind the screen, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.
This one is even more ruthless, all crimes have not yet been determined, first use the word "self-defense", and with a simple sentence, Ning Yi has already been convicted.
What a virtuous king!
The face of Emperor Tiansheng was half-hidden in a corner of the screen. He half-closed his eyes and remained silent. It seemed that he didn't hear the noisy attacks of his sons. From Feng Zhiwei's perspective, he could vaguely see his eyebrows trembling slightly, and the corners of his lowered eyes were shining with light. Deep and dark.
But someone said loudly: "Qingming's lack of guards has frightened His Majesty, Ziyan has come to plead guilty."
The gauze curtain fluttered, and Xin Ziyan knelt down on the steps.
The second prince immediately smiled and said: "The head of the court came in time, but who is responsible for this crime, I don't think you need to rush to take it."
Xin Ziyan straightened his waist, stared at the second prince with fine eyebrows, his voice was loud and bright, and changed his usual lazy and flattering manner, "Then who does His Highness think?"
The fifth prince said coldly: "You heard it just now, don't pretend you don't understand."
"Weichen just doesn't understand!" Xin Ziyan said straight back, "It's a crime to be familiar with Qingming and have a close personal relationship with Weichen? Then, Second Highness, you are asking your brother-in-law from a distant house to study in Qingming, and you are forced to give it to a good scholar in the academy. Five hundred horses, is it a crime? Your Highness Fifth, you invited my officials to have a banquet in Jinshuiju a year ago, and during the banquet, you presented a pearl as a tribute from Minghai. Is it a crime? Your Highness Seven, you often meet with your officials at Shanyue Bookstore. Encounter by chance, successively presented thirty-two volumes of out-of-print ancient books to Weichen in the name of bosom friends, is it a crime?"
Three consecutive "Sin or not!", like iron and steel falling to the ground, the whole room was suffocated, and the faces of several princes were purple or livid or pale, none of them were normal.
Feng Zhiwei stared at Xin Ziyan in amazement, unable to tell, uncle, it turned out that apart from climbing the brothel wall and being chased by golden flowers, he also has a literati style.
Ning Yi stood up suddenly, and walked out in silence.
He walked to Emperor Tiansheng's feet, knelt down on the ground, but remained silent, from the beginning to the end, he didn't even look at the princes.
Debate is worse than no debate, ten thousand words are worse than silence, silence is sometimes the greatest grief and anger, Feng Zhiwei secretly praises it in his heart, when it comes to controlling the mind and knowing how to measure, Ning Yi is indeed the most discerning.
She watched silently, but suddenly felt a little desolation in her heart—even if everything was in his calculations, so what, this brother fighting against the wall, this group of attacking, it is real, it is all true.
Emperor Tiansheng looked at Ning Yi, his eyes changed, and he said in a deep voice for a while, "What did you say?"
As soon as these words came out, all the princes were overjoyed.
Ning Yi seemed to be taken aback, looked at Tian Shengdi in disbelief for a moment, then turned to look at the crown prince, the crown prince avoided his gaze.
