Chapter 105 The Witness Died
Princess Jia's words surprised everyone present.
.
Yan Xiwei seemed dejected for a moment and her body swayed.
After being surprised, Lu Ying and the other girls all turned pale and couldn't help but think of the bet they had made with Yan Qingning.
Is this still necessary to check?
Princess Jia's words slapped them in the face and overturned their ideas.
It turns out that she was actually saving Princess Jia!
It's not just pretense as they think.
Perhaps they took it for granted and had a preconceived notion that she was just a fool.
The little girl stood in front of Yan Qingning and bowed respectfully and properly.
Yan Qingning smiled, "Princess Jia is safe and sound, and will surely be blessed in the future..."
"Yes, thanks to Sixth Aunt for your good wishes." Princess Jia said like a little adult. She held Yan Qingning's hand intimately, raised her face, and said softly, "Sixth Aunt, can Jiaer go to play with you in the future?"
Yan Qingning was filled with surprise. In the original owner's memory, it seemed that she had no intersection with Chu Jia.
But she could clearly feel Chu Jia's hopeful eyes and nervousness as he wanted to get close to her, as if he was afraid that she would refuse.
Yan Qingning was just distracted when the majestic voice of the Emperor of Chu rang out: "Jia'er, what is going on? Talk to Grandfather. You were fine, why did you get rid of the people around you and run to Hexin Pavilion alone?"
This is also the answer that everyone wants to know.
But the result is so intriguing!
After Chu Jia told the story, there was a moment of silence in the air.
No one expected it to turn out this way.
A palace maid appeared when Chu Jia was alone and said that the young princess of Prince Duan's Mansion wanted to go boating with her.
He also took out the jade pendant of the little princess of Prince Duan's Mansion, and said that the palace servants around him must not be told about it, otherwise they would definitely stop him.
In this way, Princess Jia was deceived and taken to Hexin Pavilion.
Little did she know that when she left, there was no one there.
Chu Jia was feeling a little uneasy at the time and was about to leave when he was pushed into the water.
She struggled hard to climb onto the shore, but someone grabbed her feet and pulled her into the water.
When Chu Jia was struggling in the water, he seemed to see a man.
The man was about to strangle her, but Yan Qingning arrived just in time.
A six-year-old child may seem to be at an ignorant age, but he is able to explain the ins and outs of things clearly.
It was really unexpected that Prince Duan was involved in this.
For Prince Duan and his wife, this was such a sudden disaster that they forgot to react for a moment.
Upon hearing this, Prince Jin and his wife became furious and looked at Prince Duan at the same time.
But the one who was even more angry was Concubine De, "Prince Duan, if Lao Wu has any grievances with you, you can go to Lao Wu or me. You are so cruel to attack a child!"
As Princess Jia's biological grandmother, Concubine De liked and valued her even though Princess Jia was a girl.
"This must be a misunderstanding, please calm down, Mother Virtue."
"Yes, Concubine Mother De, Xuan'er has been with us the whole time, you saw it."
"This must be a frame-up..."
Prince Duan and his wife immediately explained hastily.
But how could Concubine De listen to it? "Frame-up? How dare you say it?
Who framed you? Jiaer was lucky to be saved by Laoliu's wife, so she could tell the truth.
If Jiaer really had an accident, who would know that Jiaer was wronged? Who would know that Princess Xuan of Prince Duan's Mansion led Jiaer there?
Jiaer is so smart, if she hadn't seen Princess Xuan's token, how could she have been deceived?"
Prince Duan and his wife turned pale and knelt down in front of the silent Emperor Chu. "Please understand, Father. After entering the palace today, Xuan'er's token was lost at some point. Due to the special circumstances today, I didn't dare to make it public. I planned to send someone to look for it after the banquet, but I didn't expect..."
When the brother and sister Chu Qian and Chu Xuan, the princes of Prince Duan's Mansion, saw their father and mother kneeling down, they hurried forward and knelt behind them.
Especially Chu Xuan, her little face was pale without a trace of blood, and her expression was full of undisguised fear.
She was shaking all over, making it hard to ignore her.
It was hard to bear to see the little girl being frightened like this.
Concubine De was furious and shouted, "Chu Xuan, tell me why you killed Jia'er like this. Who told you to do this? Tell me!"
Chu Xuan trembled even more violently and shook her head randomly, "No, no, I didn't."
Chu Qian saw that his sister was frightened, so he immediately knelt forward and protected his sister behind him, saying loudly: "She is not my sister, you are not allowed to be mean to her. My sister has always been with Qian'er and has never asked anyone to look for Sister Jia."
Prince Duan frowned, a stern look flashed across his eyes, and he pursed his lips and said, "Mother Concubine De, you know that Chu Xuan has always been timid. If she really did this, she would definitely not dare to deny it.
If Chu Xuan really did something, I will definitely hand her over to Concubine De and let you deal with her as you wish..."
After hearing this, Chu Xuan had tears in her eyes and she pursed her lips tightly, not daring to cry out loud.
Princess Duan's face changed when she heard this, "Your Majesty..."
"Shut up!" Prince Duan growled.
Princess Duan couldn't help but tremble.
Defei snorted coldly and was about to speak.
The Chu Emperor's expression darkened for a moment, but he said to the outside world, "Someone come."
An imperial guard came in and pointed at the eunuch who had been kneeling on the ground and said, "Drag him away and interrogate him strictly."
"Yes!" The imperial guard stepped forward, picked up the person and was about to take him out.
However, his expression changed immediately.
Then there were several gasps.
It was unknown when the eunuch had committed suicide by biting himself with poison.
"How could it be..." Shu Hui blurted out.
When the Emperor of Chu saw this, he was immediately furious and said, "Well done, you are great."
The current situation is that there is no evidence, but for the Emperor of Chu, it is tantamount to a provocation to him as an emperor.
Immediately, a voice called out, "Chen Dezhong!"
But in the next moment, a hunchbacked figure walked in.
Although she was less than fifty years old, her face didn't have many wrinkles. Her features were feminine, her skin was pale, and she had a snow-white whisk draped over her arm.
Although her steps were not fast, she arrived in front of the Emperor of Chu in just a moment, and said in a feminine voice, "Your Majesty!"
The Chu Emperor had a cold and stern expression, "You go and investigate it yourself. No matter the process, I want to get the result in the shortest possible time."
Everyone present was slightly startled, and a voice echoed in their heads, thinking that someone was going to be in trouble today.
Everyone knows that Chen Dezhong is the most trusted and capable confidant of the Emperor of Chu.
Chen Dezhong had also been with the Emperor of Chu since he was young.
The point is that Chen Dezhong controls the secret guards and information network that the emperor has trained for many years.
Whenever he takes action, there is basically no confusion.
Chen Dezhong bowed and responded, then turned and left.
The Emperor of Chu's gaze swept across everyone's faces before finally settling on Prince Duan's family.
Prince Duan's cold sweat broke out at a visible speed.
