Shen Yuexi coughed, cleared her throat first, and then looked at Hua Duoduo who was kneeling in the center of the big tent with his head downcast.

After hard work, Hua Duoduo was finally put down from the flagpole first, at least he was not offended.The next step is how to save him from under the eyes of Emperor Qi Ming.

She sneaked a glance at Emperor Qi Ming, and found that Emperor Qi Ming was looking at Hua Duoduo, with a look of disgust on his face.She was afraid that Emperor Qi Ming would pay attention, so she hurriedly withdrew her gaze without daring to look carefully.

Then she aimed at Xiao Beiheng again.The latter had a serious expression and sat upright, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

Emperor Qi Ming hated warlocks with strange powers and deceitful abilities.Xiao Beiheng promised to help her rescue Hua Duoduo, because he must have wanted to hide his belief in ghosts and gods from Qi Mingdi.After all, this will be related to Emperor Qi Ming's choice of the prince.

What to do now?

She found that she seemed to have more than one way.

First of all, she can get Hua Duoduo to tell the truth, proving that Xiao Beiheng really invited him here.This is the easiest, because it is the way it is.In this way, Emperor Qi Ming will think that Xiao Zhuo is more suitable to be an emperor to govern the world than Xiao Beiheng who believes in ghosts and gods.

From a selfish point of view, this choice is the best.

But if you think about it, doing so seems to be good for you, but the risk is too great.First of all, I'm sorry for Su Mo who helped her a lot.Second, it deepened the resentment with Xiao Beiheng.In the past three years, Hua Duoduo has been convicted of a liar, at least she will be imprisoned, let alone Doctor Hua who helped her.It belongs to sacrificing everyone for one's own selfishness.

Besides, Xiao Beiheng was brought up by Emperor Qi Ming himself after all, maybe Emperor Qi Ming would not influence his decision because of this trivial matter, and it would be even more like stealing chickens and losing rice.

The second way is to exonerate Hua Duoduo together with Xiao Beiheng.

Xiao Beiheng has already promised her, and now he must hope that Hua Duoduo will disappear immediately.She was similar, just wanted to save Hua Duoduo.But whether Hua Duoduo can cooperate with the two of them is unknown.Emperor Qi Ming was sitting next to him, and he was not a foolish person like Xiliang Wang Meicheng.Deceiving the emperor was a crime of deceiving the emperor in ancient times, and his head would be beheaded.

The third way is to...

She was thinking hard when Emperor Qi Ming suddenly said: "Princess An."

"Ah? Ah, Your Majesty," Shen Yuexi quickly turned her head to look at Emperor Qi Ming, "Your Majesty, I am thinking about how to interrogate this person, and I am a little distracted. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me..."

Anyway, I apologize first.

"Did Concubine An notice it too?" Emperor Qi Ming said, "I see that this person's eyes are wandering, and he seems to have hysteria. He may speak nonsense, and what he says cannot be trusted."

Hysteria?

Shen Yuexi searched in her mind for a long time before she came up with the modern vocabulary she knew: mental illness.

I don't know if it was a tacit understanding, but she reacted super fast this time, and immediately understood what Emperor Qi Ming meant.

Emperor Qi Ming couldn't say some things directly by himself, he could only say them through other people's mouths.

No wonder when she said that she wanted to interrogate Hua Duoduo, Emperor Qi Ming immediately agreed.What she thought at the time was to put Hua Duoduo down first.And Emperor Qi Ming was already thinking about having a fight with his son.

You are not joking, he ordered Hua Duoduo to be hung up before, but he can't order Hua Duoduo to put him down again.That would be tantamount to the emperor going back on his word and slapping himself in the face.With so many sergeants, generals, and their own sons watching, it hurt the emperor's majesty.So Emperor Qi Ming asked her to deal with this matter, and reminded her very kindly how to settle the case.

Emperor Qi Ming had already told her what to do, and she could proceed to the trial with confidence.

"Who is kneeling?" She asked in a very serious and mature voice.

Hua Duoduo replied honestly: "Reporting to Princess An, Cao Min is from Tongliao County, Liangzhou, and his surname is Hua..."

"Wrong," Shen Yuexi interrupted him, "You are not, I know you, you are a native of Shengjing, named Zhang San."

Hua Duoduo looked at her in disbelief and said, "I don't..."

"Don't say it, it's fine if I say it," Shen Yuexi interrupted him again, "You have no parents, no wife and children, and you suffer from severe hysteria. The local people in Shengjing know that they help you more or less on weekdays .Once your hysteria breaks out, you will wear a cassock and hold a wooden sword to deceive people everywhere. I have heard it before."

After finishing speaking quickly, Shen Yuexi turned her head to Xiao Beiheng again and said: "And when it's happening, you will chase after anyone you see. According to my guess, it must be a private visit by King Ping Weifu, and you bumped into him while observing the people's sentiments. You were hysterical at that time Attacked, followed all the way, falsely claiming that there is evil in King Ping's body..."

These words made Xiao Beiheng nod repeatedly, and gave her a thumbs up: "Concubine An really solves the case like a god, that's exactly the case. He secretly followed this king all the way, and this king didn't pay attention, which caused my father to misunderstand."

Hua Duoduo waved his hands in a panic and said, "No...it was King Ping who invited me."

"Look, hysteria broke out again, didn't you?" Shen Yuexi said, "How could Prince Ping invite you to be a grassroots person. It's purely made up by yourself. I think it's because of your hysteria..."

"I don't have hysteria!" Hua Duoduo said, poking his neck, "I..."

Shen Yuexi saw that he still couldn't turn the corner, so she lowered her head anxiously to look on the table, and found that the table was full of pastries, only an empty box containing sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, she quickly picked it up as a gavel, and slapped it on the table, said:
"You are sick. According to Dayan's law, those with hysteria...the ones with hysteria..."

After stammering a few sentences, she couldn't continue.

The officials who tried the case were either proficient in the law themselves, or accompanied by a teacher who was proficient in the law.Forget about her being a noob.

Xiao Beiheng added: "According to Article No. 70 of the Dayan Law, those who commit hysteria, unless they kill someone and set fire to them, they don't have to be questioned, and they will be expelled with a stick."

Shen Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief: "Come here, drive this person out with a stick. There is no need to beat him again, just drive him away."

As soon as the voice fell, the soldiers behind Hua Duoduo came up like wolves, and more than ten sticks were raised and struck Hua Duoduo's body.

Shen Yuexi had something to say first, and the soldiers didn't fight hard.Hua Duo repeatedly groaned, the back of his hand was hit, and he quickly withdrew his hand.Before he could stand up, he was hit on the buttocks several times, with crackling sounds.

He covered his buttocks with his hands and ran out of the tent, shouting as he ran, "Caomin don't dare, stop beating me."

The sergeants didn't listen at all, and everyone strictly followed Shen Yuexi's order, chasing him all the way out of the tent, then out of the camp gate, and continued chasing and beating him for two miles before letting him go.

Hua Duoduo's whole body ached from the beating, and seeing all the soldiers returning, Fang sat on the roadside stone and rubbed the sore spot, yelling.

The stick fell on the body, no matter how light it was, it was a little painful.

It wasn't until this time that he realized that Shen Yuexi was saving him.It's ridiculous that I couldn't turn my head around at the time, and didn't admit it.If he had cooperated with Shen Yuexi earlier to pretend to be crazy, maybe he wouldn't have to suffer this stick.

Just as he was lucky to save his life, he heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance.

Hua Duoduo turned his head and saw dozens of riders coming from west to east, and the leader was Xiao Zhuo.Beside Xiao Zhuo, a heroic and well-dressed woman followed on horseback.

"Is it King An?"

Hua Duoduo stood up clutching his buttocks, stood up and dodged to the side of the road, watching a group of people rush past him.

"King An is here to pick up the princess. But who is that woman next to him?"

Hua Duoduo looked at the backs of Xiao Zhuo and his party suspiciously, and said to himself.
