C429 Hui zhis back mouth (1/2)
”Your majesty, the Fourth Prince was suspected of lying. Later on, it was because of this palace maid's counterattack that the Fourth Prince was able to bear witness to the framing of Lian Rue's name, causing this palace maid to be burned to death. Right now, the Fourth Prince is in the dungeon, but the palace maid is still alive and well. He's not lying. Did he really see the person who was going to frame the Emperor? ” Xiao Zhenhai analyzed each point.
Zhou Chengdi seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He slowly turned around and his deep gaze fell on Lian Ruyue and Feng Yunzheng — —
”Speak!” Xiao He quickly pulled out his sharp sword and pressed it against Hui Zhi's neck. His eyes emitted a cold light as he said, ”Did you frame the Fourth Prince?”
After waiting for almost a day, the main event of the day had finally arrived. The corners of Lian Xiyue's lips slightly curled up as an indistinct smile appeared on her face before disappearing in the blink of an eye.
”Servant, servant …” Hui Zhi was trembling with fear all over and her voice was trembling. She raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Lian Ruyue and Feng Yunzheng. Her eyes flickered and then fiercely lowered, not daring to look at them again.
At this time, Lian Zhaoyi couldn't help but step forward and say, ”Hui Zhi, what's going on? How come you're not dead? Why are you in the Prime Minister's Estate? I have already lost my position of fourth concubine, if you don't speak the truth now, are you going to push me into the cold palace again? ”
Hui Zhi was still a member of her palace, no matter what, she couldn't get rid of the suspicion.
”Empress, yes, I'm sorry, Empress.” Hui Zhi crawled on the ground and couldn't help but shed tears, looking like he was sorry Lian Zhao Yi.
Xiao Zhenhai's eyes flashed with contemplation as he said, ”Your majesty, I'm afraid that this woman has been secretly threatened and doesn't dare to speak the truth. This matter is related to the Fourth Prince's innocence.
Zhou Cheng Di nodded and said, ”Yes.”
”Your majesty has already spared your life, why aren't you telling me now? ”Did someone order you to frame the fourth prince? If you speak any more nonsense, I will definitely serve you with a heavy punishment!” Xiao Shan asked when he saw Hui Zhi not speak for a long time and could not help it.
Hui Zhi seemed to have suffered an intense struggle in his heart as he kowtowed in the direction of Feng Yunzheng and Lian Ruyue. Tears rolled down his face as he said, ”Ninth Prince, Eldest Miss, Servant, I'm sorry!”
After saying that, she knelt down towards Zhou Cheng Di and said, ”Reporting to your majesty, this servant was actually ordered by First Miss and Ninth Prince to bite back at Fourth Prince that day.”
”What …” Zhou Cheng Emperor looked at Feng Yunzheng and Lian Yue. Even Yan Qing was shocked.
The two of them were stunned. Their faces revealed expressions of shock as they kneeled on the ground and said —
”Imperial Father is wise!”
”Your majesty, there's no such thing as this, your majesty.”
”Ha!” Xiao Zhenhai smiled. ”We should listen to this palace maid talk about what happened that day. The fourth prince can't accept such injustice.”
”Continue!” Zhou Chengdi pursed his lips, the expression on his face turning gloomy.
”Yes, Ninth Prince also promised me that as long as we listen to his arrangements, first we would pretend to accuse Miss Lian and then bite back at the appropriate time. Not only will he keep this servant's life, he will also allow this servant to go back home and marry the one he loves.”
