Ugly Princess: The Second Marry of the Bloodthirsty Eighth Prince

Chapter 165

The sun is setting and the sun is setting, the red clouds are reflected in the evening, the picture is opened and the blue is falling, and the imperial city is beautifully illuminated.


The fiery red clouds in the sky gradually drifted away, and the lights in the other palace shone like stars.


In front of the bronze mirror, Xue is wearing a skirt with crescent buds and phoenix tails. She is wearing a phoenix bun, with tassels and golden steps on her forehead, rouge on her lips, and gouache on her face.


The huge square in front of the main hall was already full of guests, the grand concubine's birthday banquet, and most of the civil and military ministers from the court came to celebrate her birthday.


The old concubine arrived surrounded by a group of palace people, followed by Shangguan Fenglan, Xueyi and Dieshuang.


Everyone stood in front of the hall, and for about a quarter of an hour, they heard the communication in front of them:


"The Emperor is here—"


All the ministers knelt together, a group of palace people surrounded Shangguan Hongyu and the queen came in a gorgeous frame, and after a while they arrived at the front of the hall, and the emperor and queen sat in high positions.


The old concubine was about to salute, but Shangguan Hongyu raised his hand to avoid it:


"Today's birthday is big, please take your seat, the Empress Dowager."


The old concubine thanked her and sat on the left side, while Shangguan Fenglan and Xue Yi sat on the right side.


Xue Yi glanced at Dieshuang next to her, and then set her gaze on Dieshuang's side. Ying'er, who had been following Dieshuang, was nowhere tonight, and Dieshuang's gaze also looked at her. Intersecting, she could clearly see the fierce jealous fire in Die's eyes, the corners of her lips were slightly curved, she retracted her gaze, and narrowed her eyes slightly.


With the explosion of firecrackers, the birthday celebration began. Songs, dances and music reverberated over the entire square in front of the hall, fire and smoke flowed, and the colorful lights illuminated the smiling face of the old concubine with cold eyes.


At this moment.


Outside the quiet Palace Supervisor, two figures slowly approached on the stone brick road.


"who!"


The guards of the Palace Superintendent stopped the people in the future.


"My lord, this servant is here to deliver dinner."


The two court ladies wore nocturnal cloaks and blue palace attire.


"Token."


Both of them held tokens in their hands, the guard looked at them one by one, and then prepared to let them go, and the two maids with baskets entered the Palace Superintendent.


In the Palace Superintendent's Office, the Inner Palace Prisoners were imprisoned, and they went down to the dungeon. Most of the cells were empty, and a few of them were imprisoned in a state of embarrassment. They kept crying and howling, and the air was foul and unpleasant.


The iron gate opened, and the two entered the dungeon under the guidance of the other two guards. The cloaks were taken off, and their eyes suddenly met. But when he opened his mouth, the voice was a man:

"Girl, hurry up, let them find out, but it's a matter of losing your head."


Yinger's eyes were cold, and she sneered:

"The defense of this Palace Superintendent has always been simple, but your martial arts are so strong, why are you so anxious?"


"If I didn't think of the girl's kindness, I wouldn't do this if you gave me ten thousand taels of gold."


"What are you talking about, you think that one hundred taels of gold is missing."


"Girl, let's talk less and leave as soon as possible. This inner courtyard of the palace is not just for fun."


"You stay here!"


Ying'er was carrying a basket and hurried towards the end of the dungeon.

On the square in front of the hall, after singing and dancing, there is a lion dance program to celebrate birthdays.


At the banquet, there were staggered cups of wine and delicious food, and the smell was tangy. Everyone seemed to be filled with smiles, but under the surface of this joy, it was a stormy psychological struggle.


All of a sudden, the stage was boiling, and someone shouted from a distance:

"There are assassins—"


With a bang, all the guests stood up abruptly, and formed a pile in the direction of falling, "There are assassins——, protect the emperor—, protect the prince—"


A group of guards in white armor chased an 'assassin' in blue palace attire to the stage, and the whole square erupted in an uproar.


"This, what's going on here, where did the assassin come from?!"


Feng Quan supported the old concubine, everyone got up and moved forward, only Xue Yi remained calm, watching the "good show" that just appeared off the stage.


In the shadow of swords and swords, everyone saw that the 'Lady Assassin' was a man who was trying to break out of the encirclement surrounded by the Imperial Guards.


The assassin's martial arts are excellent, and the group of imperial guards can't take it down for a while.


Just hearing the sound of clanking on the ground, hundreds of imperial guards surrounded him with bows and arrows, and surrounded the assassin tightly.


Seeing that it was difficult to get away, the assassin turned the handle of the knife and wiped his own neck, causing blood to splash and screams everywhere!

While the assassin was wiping his neck, arrows from the imperial guards shot out like rain, and the assassin's body was almost covered with sharp arrows, leaving no skin on his body!

The old concubine's body was staggering, and her face was already pale.


Die Shuang was also clutching a handkerchief. When she saw a group of imperial guards dragging a person over, the handkerchief fell to the ground, and her snow-like complexion was so white that it lost any vitality, like a cold statue. Che Hangu's sculpture froze there in a daze.


"Kneel down—"


The imperial guards dragged Ying'er to the crowd, and Ying'er was forced to kneel down.


Dieshuang looked at Yinger, and Yinger also looked up.


The old concubine looked at the imperial guards holding Ying'er in surprise, and asked in surprise:


"This is how the same thing?!"


A guard replied:

"Back to the Empress Dowager and the Concubine, the humble servants will follow the secret order of the sage, and let the regent princess dispatch, and the princess will let the humble servants wait on the tree tonight, and arrest the suspect on the spot!"


Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Xue Yi stepped forward, "The general is lucky."


The guard clasped his fists and replied:

"My concubine's expectations are right. According to what the concubine said, I deliberately let the rumors out, saying that one of the shamans was poisoned but did not die. We captured him and temporarily detained him in the palace supervisor department. Come here tonight, in vain trying to kill people again!"


The imperial guard made a gesture, and several subordinates carried the assassin who had been stabbed beyond recognition, "My lord! These golds were looted from the assassin!"


At this time, following the barking of the hound, a hound used to explore the way during hunting appeared in front of everyone. The hound sniffed the bag of gold for a while, howled a few times, and threw its paws out to kneel. Yinger fell to the ground.


Ying'er held her head in her hands and screamed. The hound was dragged away from her body. She trembled all over and her hair was disheveled.


But there was a sharp light flashing in the lowered eyes.


The hands in the sleeves were clenched tightly, the pointed nails pierced into the flesh, and the fierce eyes were fixed on the murderous assassin on the ground.


The hound was taken away, and the subordinates reported:


"My lord, judging from the scent, the gold does belong to this court lady!"


"Bringing a murderer to kill someone and trespassing on a forbidden place, these two alone are capital crimes!"


On the side, Die Shuang could no longer stand on her feet, she felt her blood rushing up, her whole body trembling with anger.


After hearing the news, she tried to persuade Yinger not to take risks, but finally agreed to silence her.


Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a trap!

Xueyi walked up to Yinger, Yinger raised her dirty face, but her eyes were full of energy, piercing Xueyi with sharp hatred, Xueyi said slowly:

"Now that there are all witnesses and evidence, why don't you recruit?"


Yinger sneered:


"Recruit? What does the princess want the servant to recruit?"


"I invite you to bribe the assassin to kill the shaman to silence him. I invite you to do everything, including who ordered you to do so."


"Why did the princess conclude that the servant must be going to kill some shaman? The gold was indeed used by the servant to buy the assassin to kill, but there are so many people in the Palace Superintendent, and the servant can kill many people. Why? The concubine insisted that the servant was going to kill the wizard? Where is the witness that the concubine said?!"


Xue Yi's complexion remained unchanged, but she smiled, "You are a clever maid, but it's a pity that you have misplaced your character. If you want witnesses, I will give you witnesses!"


After finishing speaking, he turned around and faced Shangguan Fenglan:


"My lord, you said that I will have full authority to investigate and deal with this matter. Although today is the mother's birthday, the suspect happened to bump into him. The murder case in front of me must be investigated. If the matter does not subside, I think all the ministers and the mother will also It's hard to have fun anymore, why don't you let the concubines get to know each other here in front of everyone, and then everyone can relax before they can continue drinking to their heart's content, my lord, do you think it will work?"


As soon as her words fell, the crowd retreated a little, and Shangguan Hongyu and the queen came up. Before Shangguan Fenglan could speak, Shangguan Hongyu spoke first:

"Assassins and palace servants will never be allowed to collude to harm people in this imperial palace. This matter must be investigated immediately. Uncle Eighth Emperor must also be well aware of the serious relationship. Will he favor this crime for the sake of his mother?"


Under the golden face, the eyes were bottomless, Dieshuang looked straight at him with pleading eyes, Shangguan Fenglan naturally saw it, after a dead silence, "Check!"


The hoarse and low word almost sent Die Shuang into the cold cellar.


At this time, the old concubine already knew that everything was a "good show" arranged by her daughter-in-law, and she was already too angry to speak.


Xueyi sneered, and gave an awe-inspiring order:

"Bring witnesses!"


After a while, two witnesses were brought up, "Kneel down!"


Ying'er looked at the two men in front of her with a look of astonishment on her face, one was old and the other was young, but where had she seen them?


Facing the two men, Xue Yi said slowly:


"Tell me, who are you!"


The man who appeared to be in his 50s replied:


"If you go back to the princess, the villain is the shopkeeper of Dongcheng Tongfu Inn. This is my waiter in the shop. I have been with the villain for more than ten years."


"Look up and take a closer look, have you seen the woman in front of you?"


The two men raised their heads tremblingly, looked at Ying'er carefully for a few times, and nodded again and again:


"Yes, I have seen it!"


"When and where did you see it?"


"Not long ago, just seven days ago, on the night of the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, at the villain's Tongfu Inn!"


"She's going to the inn?"


"no no,."


"nonsense!"


Yinger suddenly opened her eyes wide and interrupted their conversation by pointing at the two men, with a worried look on her face:


"You, who are you, I've never seen you, don't talk nonsense here!"


Nonsense, all nonsense, she has never seen these two men, what Tongfu Inn?

What is the shopkeeper Xiao Er?

Ying'er stared at Xue Yi with bloodshot eyes, a little unbelievable.


This woman actually got two false witnesses to frame her! ?


Xue Yi still didn't change his face, and asked the two men:

"Since she's not going to stay at the hotel, what is she doing as a court lady going to your inn?"


"That's it. That night, a few shamans came to the villain's Tongfu Inn to fight."


"Shaman?"


"Exactly, they are all wearing Taoist robes, as if they came from other places."


"How many people are there?"


"There are six people in total, and we have requested four rooms."


"Then?"


"Then the woman came late that night, but she didn't stay for the top, but gave the villain 100 taels of gold, and gave the villain a pack of poison, and asked the villain to kill those shaman wizards together with the waiter in the shop. Lose."


"So you took the gold and said yes?"


"Little man, a villain will never earn that much money in his life, so he is greedy for profit, so he accepts it."


After they asked and answered, Yinger on one side screamed loudly:


"No, you're talking nonsense, you're all talking nonsense, I've never been to the Tongfu Inn, I've never seen them! It's her, it's this woman who made false witnesses to frame me, it's this woman who wants to frame me !"


Xue Yi came up and pinched Ying'er's jaw, "Here is the witness, what do you have to argue?"


"I haven't! I haven't been to Tongfu Inn at all!"


"Here is the witness, these two people have already confessed! You went to the Tongfu Inn that night, took out a hundred taels of gold and handed it to the shopkeeper. Killing all those six people is to silence! Isn’t that right!?”


Xueyi's cold tone and sharp gaze pressed on Ying'er step by step, Ying'er screamed and shouted loudly:


"No——, you lied, you lied!"


"I didn't go to Tongfu Inn at all, I didn't!"


"You still refuse to recruit? The bodies of those six people were all found in the Tongfu Inn, what else do you have to say!?"


"You lied—"


"It's impossible for the corpse to be in the Tongfu Inn, but in—"


"But where?"


wow~

There was booing.

Ying'er's face was as pale as snow, her eyes were wide open and she stared at Xue Yi in disbelief.


Using two false witnesses to make her lose control of her emotions, and then asking and forcing her, is it just to make her fall into a trap and not call herself? !

What a great woman!



Such deep thoughts almost made her feel furious!

Ying'er couldn't help trembling all over, and there were two raging flames of unwillingness burning in her eyes!

It wasn't just Ying'er who was pale, Dieshuang's face had already lost all color, and she also looked at Xueyi in disbelief.
