C573 Beg her to testify (2/2)

However, she only saw Feng Yunyao biting her lower lip, and obediently knelt down with her head bowed, not saying a word.

”Aunt, why is this? What did the princess do? ” Lian Ru Yue pretended not to understand as she rushed to support Feng Wu Yao.

”Yue'er, please save Yao'er. The prison was set on fire and two people were burned to death. If the Board of Justice were to interrogate you, would you be able to prove that you were with Zhang Yao'er yesterday?” Lian Zhaoyi asked.

Lian Ruyue's face slowly turned cold. ”Yue'er doesn't understand what Aunt means. This prison was set on fire. The Ministry of Justice wants to interrogate her. What does it have to do with the princess?”

He looked very pitiful as he said, ”Elder Cousin Yue'er, that Jiang Keji took Lan Jing away. He said that someone saw that Lan Jing, that traitor, was ordered by me to do so by my Imperial Father. I thought that he would interrogate me today, and after thinking about it for a while, since my younger cousin has been living at the Etiquette Palace for the past two days, she should be my witness.”

Lian Ru Yue looked at her pitiful crying appearance and said, ”It was Lan Jing who put the mouse, not you, princess. What's there to be afraid of? It's the servant's fault. The emperor dotes on the princess so much, how could he listen to a palace maid's nonsense?”

Lian Zhaoyi said, ”Littlemoon, things are not that simple. How could the emperor easily believe that a palace maid would have the guts to set fire to a prison cell and even burn a princess? ”Tang Yao'er, at this point, if you need your cousin's help, quickly tell us the truth.”

”Yes.” Feng Yu said, ”Yes, it was I who wanted to marry Xiao He. I heard from Lan Jing that Cousin wanted to save Sister Eleven, and I, I was worried that you really did save her, so I thought about getting rid of Sister Eleven first and let Lan Jing let the rats go. Who knew that Xiao Shan would also be burned to death?

Lian Ruyue's cold gaze fell on Feng Ziyao's face as she said, ”I'm afraid the princess has yet to speak the truth.”

Feng Tang was stunned, he raised his head.

”Does the princess have another agreement with Xiao Zhenhai?” Lian Ruyue asked.

”Yue Er, what do you mean? Young Yao'er, is there anything that mufei doesn't know? Hurry up and tell me! ” Lian Zhaoyi berated.

”I, I …” Feng Tang hesitated, thinking that Lian Yue shouldn't know about the agreement between her and Xiao Zhenhai.

”Since the princess can't say it, let me say it, Aunt. The princess even intends to testify in front of the emperor and put Jin mama's death on my head to help rid Xiao Shan of the reputation of being a murderer, right?” Lian Ruyue said, looking at Feng Wu Yao.

”I... ”How do you know so much?” Feng Ziyao felt a chill down her spine.

When Lian Zhaoyi saw Feng Yao's appearance, he was shocked and said, ”Zhenyao, you really colluded with Xiao Zhenhai?”

Feng Ziyao kneeled on the ground, a look of guilt on her face. ”Xiao Zhenhai said that if I did that, he would ask the emperor to grant me and Xiao He a marriage.”

Lian Zhaoyi was so angry that his face turned pale. ”You, you, muddle headed, muddle-headed! You are a princess, and yet you are so shameless! Are you unable to get married? ”

”Mufei!” Feng Yang's face turned red, he was so ashamed that he was about to cry again.

Aunt, if it weren't for the Princess burning Xiao Shan to death while waiting for the fire, today, in front of the Emperor, I'm afraid that the trial wouldn't have involved the fire in the prison, but rather the Princess blaming me for the murder. Lian Ruyue coldly said when she saw the crying mother and daughter.
