Chapter 33 Cross-examination
Ning Mansion, the residence of virtuous people.
Ning Xuanfeng rushed into the room in a hurry, with anxiety and fear on his face.
"Mom, it's not good!"
"The people we sent out came back to report that this time it was the Copper Secretary and the Copper Minister who came in person, which shows that the situation is very serious."
"Not only the Zhong Mansion, but even the Yao Mansion has been surrounded by them."
"There's news from the palace that Concubine Chun used He Yin Ye Lan to win the emperor's favor and gave him too much medicine, causing the emperor to become seriously ill and only have one breath left."
"Fortunately, the Imperial Hospital treated him in time and the Emperor is out of danger."
"But there is no doubt that Concubine Chun is guilty of plotting to murder His Majesty."
Mu Rong's pupils trembled.
Thinking of what Ning Fengzhe said, I began to regret it now.
"What crime did the emperor convict?"
Ning Xuanfeng sighed.
"This is an attempt to murder His Majesty. Naturally, it will be a disaster for the entire clan."
"The Zhong clan and the Yao clan are all involved."
"And it doesn't go through Yin Sitai."
"The Tongshitai is directly responsible for the execution. Execute immediately and execute on the spot!"
Mu Rong's legs went weak and she slumped into the chair behind her.
"Ning Yunxi, how could you be so cruel!"
Ning Xuanfeng didn't understand.
"What does it have to do with her?"
"She is very useless. She has been imprisoned in Tinghetai and has not come out yet."
Mu Rong shook her head, a little confused.
"She'll be out soon."
Ning Xuanfeng was delighted when he heard this.
"is it?"
"Is she finally going to be convicted?"
"Great."
"It saves my mother from worrying about the Zhong Mansion. This is really good news."
Mu Rong expressed helplessness.
"Oh, silly boy."
"How could she be convicted?"
"Lord Qin, the Prime Minister of Tinghe, has probably been subdued by her."
"This is her purpose of retreating to advance and going deeper into it."
"Something happened in the Zhong Mansion, and the position of Tinghe Cheng is vacant."
"Tinghetai, for the time being, Prime Minister Tinghe will be in charge alone."
"Lord Qin will definitely find out what happened to He Yin and Ye Lan, and blame it on the Zhong family."
"Ning Yunxi and Lord Xie will soon walk out of Tinghetai safely."
"The first thing she did when she came out was to deal with us..."
Ning Xuanfeng was a little scared.
"what?"
"During the time she was at Tinghetai, I didn't play any tricks on her."
"Why is she targeting us for no reason?"
Mu Rong was too lazy to explain so much to him, since he wouldn't understand anyway.
"Where's your brother?"
"Why haven't we seen him for a long time?"
"Are you so angry with me that you've been locking yourself in your room?"
Mentioning this, Ning Xuanfeng smiled again.
"Of course not."
"Brother is such a filial son, how could he be angry with his mother?"
"Before he left, he told me to take good care of my mother."
Mu Rong was shocked.
"Before leaving?"
"When did he leave?"
"Why do you want to leave?"
"Where are you going?"
Ning Xuanfeng was still smiling.
“It turns out that my mother didn’t know.”
"I thought I had told you a long time ago."
"Brother has entered the government."
"Prince Dijin recommended him personally."
As he said this, he was full of pride.
"Brother is really amazing. He only took one exam and was directly hired by the state governor's office."
"As soon as he started out, he was appointed as the third-rank provincial governor."
"Mother knows that the governors of the prefectures are all civil officials who are responsible for selecting officials and conducting examinations at all levels."
"Well, the governor sent him out to Shanchang County to be in charge of selecting the county magistrate."
"I've been gone for several days."
There was a dull look in Mu Rong's eyes.
"Prince Dijin is deliberately sending Fengzhe away,"
"Isolated by this, I can't even find anyone to discuss countermeasures with."
Ning Xuanfeng was very enthusiastic.
"how could be?"
"Am I not accompanying my mother?"
"If you have any problems, just talk to me."
Mu Rong smiled perfunctorily and pulled the corner of her mouth.
"I'm hungry. Go and see if the meal is ready."
Ning Xuanfeng was stunned for a moment.
"That's it?"
"too easy."
Mu Rong continued to procrastinate.
"Then let's take a look at the flowers and plants in the yard to see if they need watering."
Ning Xuanfeng held his chin and thought seriously.
“This is really difficult.”
"I have never learned how to take care of flowers and plants, so I have no idea what to do."
Mu Rong was completely speechless.
……
After Qin Hongzhong came to power,
Just as Mu Rong guessed,
Ning Yunxi and Xie Mao walked out of Tinghetai safely.
After leaving Tinghetai, Ning Yunxi went to Prince Dijin's mansion first and took Qiu Bi back.
When I returned to Ning Mansion,
The show that had been arranged early in the morning has already begun.
Ning Yunxi did not return to Xiangzhuyuan immediately.
He changed direction and went straight to Yanxiju.
Yanxiju is Ning Hanwang's residence.
Seeing Ning Yunxi coming, the servant immediately announced loudly: "Master, the third lady is here."
Ning Hanwang's voice came from the front hall of Yanxi Residence: "Come in."
After getting permission, Ning Yunxi walked into the front hall and bowed respectfully.
"My third daughter, Ning Yunxi, wishes my father well."
"Master Qin has already investigated the matter of the side hall of the Couple's Palace."
"It's true what happened to He Yin Ye Lan. It was all a conspiracy by the Zhong couple."
"During the time I've been in Tinghetai, my daughter is doing fine. Please rest assured, father."
Ning Hanwang waved his hand slightly, motioning for him to stand up.
"Get up."
"You came at the right time. I just happened to ask you something."
Ning Yunxi slowly stood up and sat down following his gesture.
Turning his head to the side, he saw Yu Ze lying on the ground seriously injured, looking very weak.
"Father, you can ask."
"Ok?"
"I wonder who this person is?"
"What mistake did he make? Why was he injured like this?"
"Father, do you want me to treat his injuries?"
Ning Hanwang's pupils moved slightly, as if he had doubts.
"So you don't know him?"
"You really don't know him?"
Ning Yunxi shook her head.
"do not know."
“It’s like we’re meeting for the first time today.”
"Father, let me ask you one more question. What is the meaning of this?"
"Should I know him?"
"Let me think...did I remember it wrong?"
"Is it because we met too early and I have forgotten it?"
"So, who is he?"
Ning Hanwang's doubts gradually disappeared.
"he is……"
When the words come to my lips, I feel a little difficult to say.
"Before, he said in Jingzhixuan that he was Shan'er's biological father."
"Madam Liu has been secretly in contact with him and has been supporting him all these years."
Ning Yunxi was filled with shock.
"what?"
"this?"
"impossible."
"Although Aunt Liu behaves a little arrogantly, she is still kind-hearted."
"How could she bear to do something that goes against her conscience when her father dotes on her so much?"
"Father, please don't blame her wrongly."
Ning Hanwang sighed with regret.
"I really did wrong her."
"What can we do? It's too late to regret."
"This person on the ground is called Yu Ze."
"Just now, the butler saw that he was seriously injured and begged to see me, so he brought him here."
"He said that he is not Shan'er's biological father at all."
"With Aunt Liu, everything is clean and innocent."
"Your mother instructed him to do everything."
Ning Yunxi smiled when he heard this.
"From what I heard, it's clear that this is a deliberate frame-up."
"Father, please don't worry."
"What happened to Madam Liu cannot be undone."
"If father continues to blame mother for this villain's words, it will be even more of a loss."
Ning Han stared into the depths, his eyes sharp enough to see through everything.
"Regarding the matter of wrongly blaming Aunt Liu, I believe what he said."
"Because of this matter, I have asked someone to investigate."
"On the day when Aunt Liu found out she was pregnant, Yu Ze was far away in his hometown, Pinxiang County, for two months before and after, and was not in Shengjing at all."
"But he said that everything was directed by your mother, so there are still doubts about this matter."
"Since you also think this is a frame-up."
"Then who do you think is the one who framed me?"
"First, they got rid of Aunt Liu, and then framed your mother. In the end, who was the one who benefited the most?"
