If you really did something, it wouldn't be unfair. But if you did nothing, it's really unfair to be blamed for such a huge crime.
Mrs. Pei turned her head towards Tang Ning and said hurriedly: "Lord Yiyang, don't believe the accusations of the Fourth Princess, Bai Erniang and I really just met the Fourth Princesses by chance, and we didn't do anything......
"Accidentally? Such a big Lingyun Temple, how can there be so many accidents? Besides, when I left at that time, the ceremony was not over. I left early because I wanted to clear suspicions, in order to avoid the detours taken by others, what about you? You just happen to be on the same path as me? ”
Mrs. Pei was simply speechless, and the second Miss Bai next to her was even more aggrieved.
"Mrs. Pei and I also got our clothes wet accidentally during the ceremony. We followed someone sneaking over there at the time."
"Huh?"
In the face of their explanation, the four princesses just sneered, full of sarcasm.
The people around listened to this "extremely clumsy" excuse, but they were also silent.
Mrs. Pei and the others panicked, and turned their heads to clarify with Tang Ning.
Tang Ning's face was extremely ugly, and he even spoke a little hoarse: "You don't have to tell me so much, whether you do it or not, you have your own Privy Council decision." ”
"I've never offended anyone, and I just want to live quietly with my aunt, but I didn't expect ......"
Her eyes were red, as if she had forbearance and anger.
"Commander Cang, this matter involves the prince, and it involves so many people, it is no longer something that we can handle, please ask Commander Cang to report this matter to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will deal with it."
Canglang nodded: "Don't worry, the county princess, I will definitely inform Your Majesty of tonight's events, and the Governor will never let go of anyone who dares to make trouble in the Buddhist temple." ”
Old Madam Fu spoke beside her: "This matter is too wide-ranging, and I don't know if there are other calculations in the future, it is inevitable that there will be many dreams at night. Commander Cang should report it to His Majesty as soon as possible."
"Old Madam Fu is right."
Canglang waved his hand: "Come on, lock up all the people involved in the case tonight, and escort them back to Beijing immediately." ”
"You dare?!" The fourth prince's mouth was full of blood, and his expression was angry.
Canglang raised his eyes: "The Privy Council is a sharp blade in the Cang Lang raised his eyes and said, "The Privy Council is a sharp sword in the hands of Your Majesty. We will never be afraid to do anything. The Fourth Prince should be quiet. Otherwise, don't blame me for being sorry."
"Take them away!"
The black-armored guards stepped forward in unison. The Fourth Prince tried to struggle against the man who was approaching him with a knife in his hand, but was held down. He was blocked by the man when he tried to curse.
In addition to the Fourth Prince, his wife, Princess Leyang and others, there was suddenly a large empty area around Madam Pei and Madam Bai in the crowd. Others avoided them. When the Black-armored Guards rushed forward to arrest them, the two of them were still screaming that they were innocent, but in just a moment they followed the Fourth Prince's footsteps.
The night was dark outside, and the wind suddenly blew in the mountains.
In front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the black armor guards faded like a tide, and the sound of the armor colliding was completely far away, and everyone in the hall dared to breathe.
Tang Ning said in a low voice: "Tonight's incident has disturbed you, it is Tang Ning's fault. ”
When everyone heard this, they looked at the little girl in the hall but they all showed sympathy, this Yiyang county princess was simply unlucky, the eldest princess, the fourth prince, and even the second prince regarded her as a raft to calculate each other, obviously just going up the mountain to worship her parents, and her reputation was almost ruined.
Seeing her pale face and red eyes, who could bear to blame.
"Don't say that, the county princess, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's them who are too vicious."
"Yes, you are innocent, and you were almost killed by them, but fortunately, God blessed you and did not have an accident, otherwise it would be really ......"
"That Fourth Prince's wife is too vicious. Fortunately, the Buddhist beads were recognized by someone."
"If you do too much evil, you will eventually perish. Don't worry too much, Princess. The princess and the others deserve what they have done. When His Majesty finds out, he will punish them severely and give you justice."
The world always pities the weak, and Tang Ning is innocent.
Listening to everyone's comfort, Tang Ning forced a smile, but the little face that should have been beautiful and peerless was still bloodless, and he was obviously shocked.
Mrs. Qian sighed lightly and stepped forward to say to everyone: "After a night of commotion, everyone is tired, let's go back and rest first."
The people in the hall have experienced a night of thrilling, and they are indeed tired, but the body is sleepy and the spirit has no intention of resting at all, and after they disperse back from the hall, many are still whispering about the things of the Buddha Hall in the back mountain.
Qian Qiyue and they surrounded Tang Ning.
"Tang Ning, don't be sad, those bastards will definitely not end well!" Qian Qiyue was indignant.
Qian Qingran also frowned: "The Second and Fourth Princes are really despicable. Fighting for power is fine, but they actually use such shameless means to harm innocent people in order to plot against each other, using the innocence of women as a stepping stone. How can such people be worthy of being kings?"
Fu Laiqing also said angrily: "I used to think that the second prince was better than the fourth prince, but I didn't expect him to be such a vicious person, so easy to use to kill people with a knife, no wonder he was able to win over the people of the family to rob the help of the fourth prince, but people like him still want to sit on the throne, unless His Majesty is blind......"
"Fu Laiqing!"
Old Madam Fu let out a low voice and glared at her grandson, who was open-mouthed.
Madam Qian also sighed softly, "We are not allowed to discuss the affairs of the royal family, but what happened tonight has been reported to His Majesty. When the people in the temple return to the capital tomorrow, it will be impossible to conceal it from the outside world. I am afraid that there will be turmoil in the front court and the harem. I just don't know if His Majesty will be soft-hearted."
Old Madam Fu's expression was slightly cold: "A dignified prince, he is accustomed to using means, if His Majesty spares them, how can he be a wise ruler!"
Do they think the Censorate is just a decoration?
She will send someone to rush back to the capital to see her brother overnight. If His Majesty still covers up such a big thing, then his reputation as a monarch will be ruined. She doesn't believe that His Majesty can risk the reputation of being a "tyrant" to protect his two unscrupulous sons.
Several people said a few words, and seeing that Tang Ning had been silent, Rong Yue's face was not good.
Knowing that the two of them were afraid of being frightened tonight, Mrs. Qian took Tang Ning's hand with pity.
"Okay, the matter is in the past, fortunately, you have always been shrewd to avoid the past, and this matter can be regarded as finding out the culprit, you are scared tonight, go back and rest."
Old Madam Fu also nodded: "Go and rest, don't worry, everyone knows right and wrong."
Tang Ning made a light "um" with red eyes.
Several people comforted Tang Ning and then returned to their respective residences. Tang Ning and her friends arrived early, and the courtyard they lived in was some distance away from where others lived. After separating from Madam Qian and the others, Tang Ning and Rong Yue walked towards their own residences together.
"Tang Ning." Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Rong Yue, who had been holding back, finally spoke: "What happened just now..."
"Girl, the Master Xin Deng is here."
