Chapter 236 Reporting
Chapter 236 Reporting
When Princess Huaining saw the dead bird taking out the dragon robe, the expression on her face was unprecedentedly ugly.
Just at this moment, the doorman came running in panic to report the news.
Perhaps because he was too frightened, he didn't pay attention to his feet and fell heavily.
The doorman didn't care about the pain at all. He hurriedly got up and rushed to Princess Huaining, saying tremblingly: "Princess... Princess, it's bad, the Jinyiwei is here..."
Princess Huaining's pupils shrank suddenly, she grabbed the doorman by the collar and shouted: "What did you say? Who's here?"
"Jin...Jinyiwei, there are so many Jinyiwei outside." The doorman's legs and feet were weak, and he stammered with a sad face, "Also...there is also the Minister of Punishment...the Minister of Punishment."
When Princess Huaining heard about the Imperial Guards, she looked dejected, but when she heard about the Minister of Justice, a light flashed in her eyes.
Princess Huaining's mind raced, as she desperately thought of a way to escape.
Xie Lan was a little puzzled. She only asked the son of the Marquis of Yongyi to invite Lord Xiao over, but how come the person who came was the Minister of Justice, and also someone from the Embroidered Uniform Guard?
Just as he was wondering, he saw Xiao Jin striding towards him from a distance, followed by a stern-looking man wearing a flying fish suit.
That person is probably Lord Lu, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Xie Lan frowned. Wasn't it said that the person who came was the Minister of Justice? Why didn't she see him?
Could it be behind?
But Xie Lan looked again and again, and saw that Xiao Jin was followed by Yang Feng and Zhao Chong's guards, and behind them were the Jinyiwei members wearing uniform clothes.
Could it be that the doorman was so frightened when he saw the Jinyiwei coming that he called the doctor of the Ministry of Justice the minister of the Ministry of Justice?
This is not impossible.
After all, it was obvious that those Jinyiwei came with bad intentions, and it happened to be a sensitive moment when the dragon robe was just discovered in the princess's mansion. The doorman must have been frightened a long time ago, so it was not surprising that he said the wrong thing.
However, she heard that the commander of the Jinyiwei was the emperor's man, and was extremely arrogant to everyone except the emperor. But why did she see that Lord Lu was so respectful to Lord Xiao?
Just as the thought flashed through her mind, Xie Lan suddenly heard two ladies next to her whispering.
"Even the Imperial Guards and the Minister of Justice are here. I'm afraid the Princess's Mansion is doomed this time."
"It's ridiculous that Princess Huaining, with her status, dares to covet the throne. It seems that she has been enjoying wealth and glory for so long that she has long forgotten her status."
"Commander Lu's aura is so fierce that my legs feel weak just by looking at him. It is better to look at someone as majestic as the Minister of Justice. He is not only pleasing to the eye, but also reassuring."
"Indeed, Sir Xiao has become the Minister of Justice at such a young age. His future is limitless."
"Are you crazy? You two even dare to talk about Master Xiao. His identity is not something you can dream of."
Xie Lan didn't pay attention to the discussions of the ladies at first, but the more she listened, the more strange it seemed to her, and she couldn't help but move closer to them.
"Who is the Minister of Justice you are talking about? Why don't I see him?"
Several ladies had originally stopped talking, but turned to look at her after hearing her words, with an expression as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
Xie Lan was a little puzzled. Why did she look like that? Was the question she asked difficult to answer?
On the other side, Princess Huaining was dealing with questions from the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
I don't know what was said, but Princess Huaining's face suddenly became ugly and she looked at Xiao Jin anxiously.
"Changfeng, you believe in your aunt... How could I rebel?" Princess Huaining almost blurted out the words, but seeing Xiao Jin's cold expression, she swallowed the words back.
“Changfeng, that dragon robe is not from my house, I have no idea where that beast got it from.
Maybe someone didn’t like me and deliberately sent the dead bird to frame me.”
"Gah, it's you who should be damned, old witch."
Seeing that Pang Ya was furious again, Xie Lan was unsure about the attitude of the Jinyiwei commander and worried that he would have Pang Ya arrested.
He hurried over and said, "The princess said someone framed you, but everyone present saw that the dragon robe was found by Yingge in your house." "So what? I'm holding a banquet in my house today. Who knows if someone brought it in on purpose to frame me?"
It seems that the princess won't cry until she sees the coffin.
“Since the princess said that someone framed you, why don’t you ask Lord Lu to go in and search to see if there are any clues left.
It will also help us find out who is behind the princess's murder and clear your name."
Princess Huaining glared at Xie Lan angrily. She was in a difficult situation.
If you disagree, wouldn't it make things even more obvious?
But if we really let the Jinyiwei go in to search, and they find other things as well, we will be finished.
Just as he was about to change the subject, Xiao Jin spoke up, "Miss Xie is right, they even dared to frame Princess Huaining, the person behind this is too arrogant.
If we can’t find him, we don’t know how many people will suffer in the future.”
Ever since the princess's husband heard that Liang Yuanluo was beaten stupid by the princess' men, and also learned that Huang Qiuxia was poisoned by her, his face became extremely ugly.
He suddenly clasped his hands and said, "I want to report Princess Huaining for planning a rebellion with the posthumous son of the third prince of the previous dynasty, overthrowing the Great Zhou Dynasty and restoring the previous dynasty..."
"Liang Wenhao, you want to report me? Are you crazy?"
Princess Huaining never thought that her husband would actually report her. She stared at him as if she wanted to eat him alive.
"Does Prince Consort have any evidence?"
Liang Wenhao had no evidence at all. He just knew that the princess was cruel and hated her for cheating on him.
He reported her for revenge and to show his loyalty to the emperor.
Seeing that Liang Wenhao could not produce any evidence, Princess Huaining secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Fatty suddenly flew into the air, "Gah, dark room, there is something in the dark room."
Princess Huaining clenched her hands tightly and was about to order the killing of the damn bird.
Xie Lan quickly pinched her fingers and silenced her. In order to prevent her from causing trouble, he simply let Tiechui press all her acupuncture points.
Princess Huaining was unable to take any action and could only watch as Xiao Jin and Commander Lu found all the letters she had hidden in the dark room.
After confirming that everything was correct, Commander Lu waved his hand and said, "Come here, take Princess Huaining to the palace."
Princess Huaining looked as pale as death. She wanted to protest her innocence, but she couldn't open her mouth and could only be taken away by the Jinyiwei.
Although the prince consort took the initiative to report the princess, he and his son were also taken away.
Whether he can save his life depends on how the emperor handles the matter.
The servants in the princess's mansion were not captured for the time being, and Commander Lu sent people to guard them.
The rest of the Jinyiwei were still searching for evidence everywhere.
The big melon was finished, and Xie Lan was not interested in the follow-up matters.
She hurried back to the mansion to see the excitement in the third room. Xiao Jin was busy, so she didn't go forward to disturb him and hurried away with the hammer.
