Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Chapter 133 Who is the murderer

"Oh?" Yunshang looked up at Qianyin, "Could it be that the third prince of the Yelang Kingdom has an enmity with someone?"

Yun Chang glanced around, and saw that everyone had a pensive expression, as if they were wondering who and why Cang Jue Qingsu was stabbed.

No one spoke in the garden for a while, but at this moment, there was another voice from outside, "Shang'er, the third prince was assassinated and injured, and everyone in the garden is also suspected, why don't you ladies please move away."

When all the women heard the words, they all showed some worried expressions on their faces. They probably never thought that they just came to offer flowers, but they encountered such a terrible thing. Yun Shang smiled reassuringly, "It's okay, we were all in this garden just now, and no one had the time to assassinate the third prince, it's just a routine question, you can rest assured."

Hearing what Yun Shang said, he felt a little relieved, got up quickly, put on the veil, and followed Yun Shang out of the garden.

As soon as he left the garden, he saw Prince Jing standing under a cherry blossom tree. It was the season of cherry blossoms, and the trees were full of flowers. When the wind blew, the cherry blossoms fell profusely and fell on Prince Jing's jet-black on the hair. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Prince Jing raised his eyes and looked towards Yunshang and the others. His handsome face looked like a god under the cherry blossom trees. When he saw Yunshang walking in the front, Prince Jing smiled slightly, originally indifferent. His brows and eyes also softened a bit, and everyone was stunned again.

"Shang'er..." Prince Jing said softly.

Yunshang sighed, this evildoer must have done it on purpose, Yunshang didn't need to look back to know what kind of expression the woman behind him looked like, she must have a peachy face and bright eyes.

"Uncle Huang just said that the third prince was injured when he was assassinated? Was it seriously injured? Who stabbed the third prince?" Yun Shang walked up to Prince Jing and asked in a low voice.

Prince Jing raised his eyebrows, looked back at Yunshang, and said clearly in his eyes, "Don't you should know?"

Yun Chang turned her head and glanced at the people behind her, she couldn't understand what she meant, she knew it, but the group of people behind her didn't know anything about it.

"The third prince was injured, not lightly. The dagger pierced his abdomen deeply, but the imperial physician said that his life should not be in danger. The murderer was caught on the spot, but the emperor said that he was afraid of accomplices, so let him Everyone go over." Prince Jing said in a low voice.

Although Yunshang knew that Cangjue Qingsu was injured, he didn't know how he was injured. The injury was not serious, but it was what she wanted.

Yun Shang nodded slightly, "Then let's go, don't keep father waiting for a long time."

King Jing led the crowd to a courtyard in the backyard. This courtyard... Yunshang squinted her eyes, it was really a good place. This was clearly Huajing's courtyard. All the masters have their own resting yards. This courtyard is called Jinglanyuan, which belongs to Huajing.

Emperor Ning and a group of ministers were in the courtyard, Emperor Ning sat in the middle, ministers lined up on both sides, and there were two people kneeling in the middle.

"Shang'er is here? Something like this happened today, you are full of female relatives, are you surprised?" Emperor Ning raised his eyes to look at Yunshang and the women behind him, and said calmly.

Yun Chang shook her head, "Just now, the minister and the young ladies were resting in the garden, but when they heard the screams, the minister guessed that something might have happened, so he asked the emperor to surround the garden so as not to disturb everyone Miss, we didn't come out together until Uncle Huang came here."

Emperor Ning nodded, "They are all spoiled guests, Zheng Qi, go and get some chairs, let the young ladies take a rest."

Manager Zheng responded and stepped back.

Only then did Yunshang look at the two kneeling on the ground. She couldn't tell who was coming just by looking at their backs, so Yunshang raised her eyes and said, "This is the assassin who stabbed the third prince of Yelang Kingdom? It's really daring to do so Many people dare to attack, fortunately our Ning country has always been heavily guarded, otherwise the third prince might lose his life."

As soon as Yun Shang's voice fell, a rough voice came over, "The guards are strict? Your country is heavily guarded, but I really don't understand why our third prince offended you, Mr. Wen? He even To put our three princes to death like this. He is the son of a minister of your country, maybe it was ordered by your emperor."

"Bold!" Yunshang yelled angrily, and looked at the man who spoke, his eyes were full of coldness, "The prince of your country has an accident in Ning country, we will definitely investigate and deal with the murderer, but you keep saying that I am The emperor of Ningguo ordered someone to stab the prince of your country. Do you have evidence to slander the emperor and commit the following crimes? The emperor has nothing to do, do you dare to bear the crime you should bear?"

The man was very burly, with a ferocious face, and he had a casual and contemptuous expression, but after being reprimanded by Yun Shang, he couldn't help but change his color.

"you……"

Yun Shang snorted coldly, "Me? I am Princess Ningguo Huiguo... I respect you as a guest, but I hope you also recognize your identity. Don't forget that you are stepping on your feet at the moment, but The land of my Ning country."

The man's face was flushed, and he wanted to speak again, but was gently pulled by the person beside him, so he stomped his feet resentfully, and turned his head away.

Yun Shang also didn't want to get entangled with him, she knew that she had caught the eyes of many people with her appearance just now, and she might have to make a judgment in her heart. Yun Chang turned his eyes and glanced at everyone, and saw the unbelievable expressions of everyone in Li's residence. Wen Ruyu also stared at Yun Chang in a daze, but it was King Jing who had a hint of a smile in his eyes .

Yun Chang turned her head again, and seeing that Emperor Ning seemed to be thinking, Yun Shang smiled slightly, and walked to Emperor Ning, "Father, you don't blame Chang'er for being too reckless, do you? I just don't like it, some people are clearly just dogs, but because they have been domineering on the grassland for a period of time, no one told them that they are dogs since they were young, so they think they are wolves."

Emperor Ning smiled slightly. Although he was amazed by Yun Shang's sudden appearance, he was also a little happy. His daughter was not weak and bully, and he knew how to protect him, which naturally made him happy.

"What Chang'er said is naturally correct."

Yun Chang turned her head, pretending not to see the man's eyeballs and the murderous intent in his eyes, looked at the two kneeling on the ground, and then frowned slightly, "Hey, this assassin in Tsing Yi, Chang'er I seem to have seen it somewhere? I just can’t remember it.”

King Jing smiled and said, "Shang'er has indeed seen it before. On March 3rd this year, the one we met during our outing was Wen Qingzhu, son of the Wen family."

When Yunshang heard the words, she showed a somewhat stunned expression, "Yes, I remembered, it was indeed Wen Qingzhu, the son of the Wen family, and it seemed that he came with Wen Ruyu, the young lady of the Wen family... Eh, but why? Have you become an assassin?"

Yun Shang looked at Wen Ruyu inexplicably, but saw that Mr. Zheng had ordered the chairs to be placed. Wen Ruyu seemed to be about to sit down when she heard Yun Shang mentioning herself. The two of them just felt that these two figures seemed familiar, but because they said they were the assassin who stabbed Cang Jue Qingsu, they didn't think much about it, but they didn't want to...

Wen Ruyu was a little surprised in her heart, and hurriedly walked in front of the two, but was startled. Even though she had heard Yun Shang mention it just now, she still couldn't help shouting, "Father, brother..." The surprise on the face was not It is impossible to fake it no matter what.

Wen Qingzhu looked decadent, her clothes were messed up, her hair was loose in a bun, her complexion was pale, her hands trembled slightly, when she heard someone calling her, she just raised her eyes to look at Wen Ruyu, then lowered her head again.

Wen Yunqing looked as immobile as a mountain, with his back straight, but the frown on his forehead revealed his emotions.

Wen Ruyu didn't know what happened during this period of time, she was even more astonished in her heart, and looked at Prime Minister Li, but saw that Prime Minister Li didn't look at her, as if he was thinking about something.

"Brother, what's going on? You have never met the third prince of Yelang Kingdom, why did you stab him?" Wen Ruyu knelt down, grabbed Wen Qingzhu's arm and asked, seeing that Wen Qingzhu didn't respond at all, the strength in his hand Then it got a little more serious, and Wen Qingzhu couldn't help frowning, looking at Wen Ruyu, but didn't say a word.

Wen Ruyu had no choice but to turn her head to look at Wen Yunqing, "Father."

Wen Yunqing frowned, but did not speak.

"Miss Wen, please sit aside, what's going on, you'll know later, if brother Ling and father-in-law are innocent, the law will have its own judgment." Yun Shang spoke softly, as if with a faint smile comfort.

Wen Ruyu knew that now she didn't know what was going on, and she couldn't do anything. If she made more mistakes, if it was because of this reason that her father and elder brother were charged with more serious crimes, the loss outweighed the gain. Moreover, Wen's mansion is in the same boat as that person, he will definitely try his best to save him, if he doesn't save him, then he will just confess him.

Thinking this way, Wen Ruyu hesitated for a moment, then let go of Wen Qingzhu's hand, stood up, walked to the seat and sat down.

"Have the people from Dali Temple arrived?" Emperor Ning asked in a deep voice.

Prince Jing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's already on the way."

Just as he was talking, he heard a voice, "Your Majesty, the subject is here, the subject is here." Immediately afterwards, a man with a gray beard rushed in.

Emperor Ning nodded and pointed to the chair beside him, "Sit down, and let Prince Jing tell you what happened, then you can start the trial and be more careful."

The Minister of Dali Temple nodded quickly and replied, "I obey the order."

King Jing raised his voice and said, "Lord Xing, just now in this courtyard, the third prince of Yelang Kingdom was stabbed and injured, and when the guards guarding the door heard the screams and ran in, they saw Wen Qingzhu, son of the Wen family, holding a dagger, a dagger It's being inserted into the third prince's body."

Dali Temple Minister's face became more serious when he heard the words. It involves the third prince of Yelang Kingdom. If one of them is wrong, it is very likely to affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Thinking in his heart, he looked at Wen Qingzhu and said, "Wen Qingzhu, Yelang You stabbed the third prince of Langguo? Can you plead guilty?"

When Wen Qingzhu heard this question, she seemed to have regained her strength. She looked at Qing Qing of Dali Temple and said, "It was stabbed by the Caomin, and the Caomin pleaded guilty."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in a hurry again, Wen Ruyu stared at Wen Qingzhu dumbfounded, never expecting that it was really her brother.

"I just found out where the guards of the third prince and Mr. Wen are?" Dali Temple Qing asked, and one of the guards quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "Return to my lord, it was discovered by my subordinates..." Dali Temple Qing nodded, " When they were discovered just now, were there only two of them in the yard?"

The guard quickly said, "Yes, there are only the two of them in the yard, and there is no one else."

Dali Temple Minister turned to Wen Qingzhu again, "Why did Mr. Wen stab the third prince of Yelang Kingdom?"

Everyone looked at Wen Qingzhu, just now Wen Ruyu said, Wen Qingzhu had never met Cang Jue Qingsu before, so how could he have anything to do with Cang Jue Qingsu? And it seemed that there was a deep hatred, so he stabbed him directly.

But Wen Qingzhu sneered, "Yelang Kingdom launched a war against our Ning Kingdom, causing the border people to be in dire straits, and Cangjue Qingsu is still the commander-in-chief of an army. As a native of Ning Kingdom, he should kill them all."

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, this Wen Qingzhu is not stupid, he even found such an excuse.

It seems that this matter came to the fore, and the truth came to light. Because Yelang and Ning are now enemies, Wen Qingzhu deliberately stabbed the third prince of Yelang. This is a patriotic act. If this is the case, Emperor Ning will be in a dilemma. If he is not punished, then the Yelang Kingdom will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, but if he is punished, the people will most likely not like it.

The people in the garden are all elites who have been in the officialdom for many years, so they naturally know the relationship, and all of them lowered their heads and did not speak.

Yun Chang frowned, seeming to be a bit puzzled, "Ah, although I am a woman and a princess and shouldn't speak, but I am really a little confused and don't quite understand."

Everyone's eyes fell on Yunshang, after Yunshang scolded the minister of Yelang Kingdom just now, everyone knew that this princess was probably not ordinary.

Yun Shang noticed the eyes of everyone, but didn't care at all, but King Jing said with a smile, "If you have any questions, please ask, Dali Temple Minister is fair, so naturally he can stand doubt."

Yun Chang breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and said, "I just heard from Uncle Huang that the guard entered the yard after hearing a scream. They also heard it, but Chang'er remembered that the exclamation was obviously a woman's voice, why did the guards say that after entering, they only saw Mr. Wen and the third prince of Yelang Kingdom, and no one else? Then the exclamation Where did it come from? Who sent it? Could it be that there was a third person in the yard, but he just hid before the guards came in?"

As soon as Yunshang's words fell, everyone's eyes became a little more suspicious. Many people heard the exclamation just now, but as Yunshang said, it was a woman...

Yunshang felt a cold gaze looking towards her, like a snake letter, which made people feel a little chilly, Yunshang raised her eyes and looked at that gaze, and saw Wen Qingzhu retracting her gaze as if nothing had happened .

Dali Temple Minister frowned when he heard the words, and looked at Prince Jing, "My lord, you didn't mention this when you talked to the lower officials just now, but is it the truth?"

Prince Jing nodded, "It's just that this prince was negligent and failed to notice such details."

Dali Temple Minister nodded, "If it is true as the princess said, then there must be something hidden about this matter. Mr. Wen, you and the third prince of Yelang Kingdom were both in the courtyard just now. Could you tell us who is that woman?"

Wen Qingzhu raised her head suspiciously when she heard the words, "Caomin has never seen other people, and if there are other people present, Caomin would never dare to do anything."

Dali Siqing frowned, "The third prince of Yelang Kingdom is seriously injured? Is his consciousness clear? Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to ask?"

Emperor Ning nodded and sent people to go.

After a while, the person who inquired came back, "Reporting to the emperor, the third prince said that he was a little confused at the time and didn't see it."

Yun Chang looked up at King Jing, and King Jing understood what she meant, so he said, "This king once fought against the third prince, and this king knows his martial arts, but this king heard that Mr. Wen didn't Never practiced martial arts? How could a master be stabbed by someone who had never practiced martial arts? As for who else is in this courtyard, because the emperor is coming today, many people have been added to the palace. I think, no matter what, someone must have seen it. Come and bring all the servants and guards who cleaned around the courtyard."

After a while, a group of people came in, and the already crowded courtyard became even more crowded.

"Did you see anyone entering the yard?" Dali Temple Qing said in a deep voice.

Everyone looked at each other, and after a long time, a timid voice sounded, "The servant was pruning the branches on the opposite side, and saw Princess Huajing enter the yard with the maid, and later Mr. Wen Qingzhu also went in, but the servant was from the beginning to the end. I have never seen the third prince of Yelang Kingdom go in..."

When one person said this, several people also echoed, "The servant (servant) also saw it."

Dali Temple Minister felt a little embarrassed when he heard the words. After all, Princess Huajing is also a princess, and he has no right to order how to treat her...

Hearing this, Emperor Ning was stunned for a moment, his eyes became darker, as if a storm was brewing, "Where is Princess Huajing? Go find Princess Huajing."

A guard heard the words and hurried down. After a long while, he saw Hua Jing came in from the yard with a maid, walked up to Emperor Ning and bowed. The emperor was a little afraid, so he raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Ning cautiously, "Father, do you have some orders to find your servant?"
