Chapter 319 (1/2)
319 Meeting the Crown Prince (1)
The young eunuch lowered his head and said,”young master Xu first went to the princess of Lin. an’s shaoyin garden. The two talked for a long time behind the rockery. When he came out, the princess of Lin. an’s eyes were red. It seemed that she had just cried ….. Miss Xu ….
Emperor Yuan jing frowned and interrupted, “”What are they doing behind the rockery?”
The old eunuch glanced at Emperor Yuan jing’s expression and knew that the Emperor was unhappy. The princess and Xu Tongluo went to the back of a secluded rockery. Then, the princess came out with red eyes.
This was indeed fanciful.
“It’s … It was because the princess of Lin an came out with a knife. When Xu Tongluo saw this, he hid behind the rockery. I was the one who told Your Highness that Xu Tongluo was hiding in the rockery.”
“To be honest.” The old eunuch glared.
“It’s … It was because the princess of Lin an came out with a knife. When Xu Tongluo saw this, he hid behind the rockery. I was the one who told Your Highness that Xu Tongluo was hiding in the rockery.” The young eunuch hurriedly explained, not daring to hide anything.
The old eunuch immediately looked at Emperor yuanjing. Seeing that the emperor’s eyes had already retracted their sharp light, he was relieved and said, “”Please continue.”
“After that, Sir Xu and the princess entered the hall. This servant was chased out, and your Highness and Sir Xu talked for half an hour in the hall. I don’t know the content of the conversation.” The young eunuch finally expressed his grievance.
“This servant did not commit any dereliction of duty. It’s just, it’s just that Lord Xu’s attitude was too unyielding.”
After saying that, he carefully glanced at Emperor Yuan jing from the corner of his eye.
To his disappointment, Emperor Yuan jing did not show any expression. The young eunuch could only continue, “”After that, official Xu brought this servant and Princess Lin an to see the body of Consort Fu.
“In the process, Lord Xu tried to touch Lady Fu’s body. I tried my best to stop him, but I was not successful and even took a kick from him.”
The young eunuch remembered that kick and was waiting for this moment to make things worse for Xu Qi ‘an.
As expected, Emperor Yuan jing frowned.
The old eunuch who had accompanied him for decades asked on behalf of his master, “”How?”
“I just touched it repeatedly for a long time.” The young eunuch replied.
He didn’t dare to exaggerate, because if Emperor Yuan jing was furious, he only needed to find someone to verify it and question Xu Qi ‘an. The lie would be exposed immediately. A small eunuch wouldn’t dare to commit the crime of deceiving the Emperor.
“And then?” the old eunuch asked.
“Then … So I left.” “But Sir Xu and the princess of Lin an said that there is something strange about Consort Fu’s death.”
“There’s something else?” Emperor Yuan jing finally spoke again. He sat up straight and leaned forward slightly, staring at the young eunuch.
“Lord Xu said that a normal falling from a building should be face down and not back down, but Consort Fu did die from her back down. It’s highly possible that he was pushed down.”
The young eunuch repeated Xu baichan’s analysis to Emperor yuanjing.
She was pushed down and fell to her death … Emperor Yuan jing squinted his eyes and looked up at the ceiling. He pondered for a long time and said, ”
“You may leave.”
