Chapter 156 (1/2)

Three days later.

It was a beautiful day. Even in late autumn, it was also a rare good day. The lazy sunlight scattered on the charming petals of some big and undeveloped Persian chrysanthemums made them more colorful and beautiful. In Shufang palace, the beautiful women are all dressed in gorgeous clothes. The exotic customs of the past seem to be swept away in an instant, leaving only the murderous air of naked.

The maid in waiting handed over the tea: ”Niang Niang, after drinking tea, it's time to go to the imperial court for a public trial.”

Shufei slowly took the tea from the maid of honor and took a sip. Today, she was also well dressed and became more and more beautiful and picturesque. Correspondingly, she was also aggressive. Her red dress undoubtedly made her more powerful. The death of Princess Heyi was a great blow to Shufei.

For so many years, except for Princess Yi, Shufei never gave birth to a son in the palace, and the matter of seizing the right is no longer Xiaoxiang these years, relying on the emperor's favor. Although the Emperor didn't love her as much as Princess Chen at the beginning, it was because she gave birth to a daughter, and Princess Yi didn't pose a threat to the country. The emperor was not wary of her.

Although Princess Heyi is domineering on weekdays, it's the meat that falls from her belly. She has been pampered for so many years, but she doesn't know how to end up with a tragic death. Shufei is a very arrogant and impulsive person in her heart. When xuanlang confirms that Jiang Ruan killed Princess Heyi, she wants to rush out and tear Jiang Ruan to pieces. However, Jiang Ruan had already been locked up by the Ministry of punishment, and she was not easy to start.

However, there is no one in the world that she can't compete with. With her ingenuity and beauty, she is not a soft persimmon. Even Chen Guifei, who has been fighting with her all her life, is not at a disadvantage now. Jiang Ruan is nothing but the daughter of a small official. Killing Princess Heyi is a sin she can't afford in her whole life. After Shufei calmed down, she was not in a hurry.

This case involves a lot. She went to the emperor to cry, and the emperor also promised to make decisions for Princess Heyi. After so many years of marriage, the emperor's mood could be controlled by Shufei. Naturally, it can be seen that the emperor was not happy with Jiang Ruan. Besides, with all the human and material evidence, Shufei didn't even have to take care of herself, so she could let Jiang Ruan die without a burial place.

It is precisely because the people involved in this case are all royal people, and even empress Yide intervened, and the emperor agreed to the pre imperial trial. Since the founding of the people's Republic, there have been only one or two cases of pre imperial trial, which are also major events involving the former founding fathers of the people's Republic. This is the first time that such a royal dispute has been involved in the pre imperial trial. She knew that besides Zhao Guang's family and Empress Dowager Yide, Xiao Shao, Prince Fu, Liu Min and Gu Yi were also among those who pleaded for Jiang Ruan. When she thought of it, she would gnash her teeth.

When I was in the palace with Princess Yi, because I was favored by the emperor, I made friends with a group of young ladies. Now I have died miserably with Princess Yi, but no one has come forward to speak for her. Those who used to make friends with each other have become turtles. To be sure, it may have been warned by others, but it can also be seen that Princess Yi is only a group of fair weather friends. On the contrary, Jiang Ruan is only the daughter of an official, and she is not a real Royal relative. So many people are rushing to protect her. She is really a fox at a young age!

”Is king Jinying here, too?” Shufei put down her tea cup and asked in a cruel tone.

”Back to empress, King Jinying has gone first.” The maid returned.

Shufei slowly clenches her fists. She doesn't know how she and Princess Yi died, but she knows that everything is caused by Xiao Shao. Since Princess Heyi lost her life for Xiao Shao, Jiang Ruan, as Xiao Shao's sweetheart, would have to pay for her life anyway. What about being powerful in the court? Xiao Shao may not be able to resist the order in full view of the public? When she saw the picture of her sweetheart's tragic death, she felt a deep pleasure at the thought of Xiao Shao's angry eyes and Jiang Ruan's despair.

……

Jiang Dan has entered the palace with his new girl and lives in the courtyard where the girls live together. The courtyard is a group of 28 girls, Yingyan, very busy. It's not uncommon for an ordinary girl from a high-ranking family or a daughter from a small family to send her daughter to the palace in the hope of a prosperous future. But now these girls still don't know the sinister and innocent appearance of the palace. They almost dazzled people's eyes.

Jiang Dan sat quietly in the front hall of the room, watching the lively and excited exchanges among the young girls, with a lively and shy smile on her face. It's not easy for people to be defensive, so even if she can insert a few words, it doesn't prevent the young girls from seeing her as their own soon.

Among them, the commoner girl of the maid's family said, ”Hey, sisters, I don't know if you've heard of it. Today is the day of the public trial of the case of Princess Hong'an, the daughter of Jiang's family killing Princess Heyi.”

”Ah, that's right. I think of it, but it's not today.” Another woman echoed: ”it's a pity we can't go out here, but we can't go to see what's going on.”

I feel sorry to hear her voice. These women are young and curious. They are also full of interest in these things. They are disappointed for a while and are in great interest.Jiang Dan looked at everything in front of him with a smile, as if he had not heard the news.

”It's just a homicide case. There's nothing to see.” The father of the woman who was talking was working in the Ministry of punishment. He wanted to know something about it on weekdays. He nodded and said, ”I heard my father say that there is almost nothing to try in this case with Princess Yi. He has also been tested, and there are four other witnesses like his highness. There is almost nothing to retract. What if Princess Hong'an is favored by the Empress Dowager? It is a great crime to kill the royal heir, and no one can protect him. ”

”Princess Hong'an is so brave that she dares to kill people.” One person seemed to think of something and looked at Jiang Dan: ”eh, isn't she your direct elder sister? What is the matter with you? ”

Jiang Dan was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said: ”this matter...”. I don't know. I'm just a common girl. How can I get involved in these things? ”

”Is she so fierce in the house on weekdays?” Someone asked curiously, ”have you ever been beaten and scolded by her?”

Jiang Dan shook his head, but his eyes flashed quickly, a trace of fear: ”no, big sister has never hit me.”

The more she said that, the more suspicious her evasive eyes seemed. People looked at her timid appearance and almost turned pale when talking about Jiang Ruan. For a moment, what they chatter about is all about Jiang Ruan. Originally, they were both women, but they were envious. Over the years, Jiang Ruan has been born well, and his luck is even better. He has been sheltered by Empress Yide, and he has another brother, the God of war, who has already made people envious. Now when he falls into the water, these envious people will step on him mercilessly.

In the humble corner of the room, there is still a person sitting quietly. She looks pretty, but her expression is a little weak, even a little disdainful. Listening to the people's talk about Jiang Ruan, she looks a little disgusted. This man is no other than Dong Yinger.

In the end, he still entered the palace. Now it seems that Dong Ying'er feels that the things that he originally rejected are not so difficult. There are so many beauties in the palace that the emperor needs some luck to remember her. Why should he say that she is favored. If the emperor never pays attention to her, it may not be a good thing to die safely in the palace.

Jiang Ruan killed Princess Heyi. Dong Yinger had heard from her father before. She didn't believe Jiang Ruan would kill Princess Heyi. It wasn't because of anything else, just because she felt that even if Jiang Ruan wanted to kill someone, he would not be stupid enough to be in front of the fourth prince. Jing Zhaoyin is a smart man. When analyzing the pros and cons, Dong Yinger heard something about it, but it's something she can't reach.

Now sitting here, listening to these people's disparagement of Jiang Ruan and Jiang Dan's hypocritical slander, Dong Ying'er only feels a great deal of pain in her stomach. If she is as usual, and according to her friendship with Jiang Ruan, she will come forward and make a theory. But now they just sit on one side and watch people's comments coldly.

What I remember is that when she was going to be sent to the palace, she cried and begged Jiang Ruan, but Jiang Ruan said what to do with her.
