After being dressed as Wu Zetian's daughter, she was favored by the group

Chapter 182 Li Lingyue’s Counterattack (-in-)

Xiao Jing'er's shocking words suddenly turned the situation around!
With the testimony of the person involved, King Yu, Li Lingyue would not be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

The expressions of the guests suddenly froze. If word spread that the princess had murdered the royal prince, Li Lingyue would definitely be escorted back to Chang'an as a prisoner to wait for the court's decision.

There is no other reason than that the person she was murdering was King Yu who was protected by Emperor Gaozu!

After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Taizong promised his great ancestor that no matter how the descendants of the Li family fought, the lineage of the King of Yu would last forever and the hereditary lineage would not be replaced. The level is so high that it seems to be independent of the country's judicial system.

After Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, in line with the principle of following the ancestral precepts, he also respected the prince's uncle quite a lot. Out of his trust in the King of Yu, he originally promised the post of "Eastern Capital Remainer" to the Prince of Yu's Palace, allowing him to take charge of the East on behalf of the emperor. The small court in the capital can be said to be extremely favored.

But now, the princess dares to risk the disdain of the world and murder her own prince. According to the national law, she has violated the two most heinous crimes of "disrespect and disharmony". According to the clan, she has also violated the instructions of the great ancestor Taizong, and she must be condemned without mercy. Forgive.

No matter how favored Empress Li Zhiwu was about her, once Prince Yu's palace conducted an in-depth investigation or the murder became known to the world, her days as a princess would be over.

"Oh my god, if it's really her, how could she be so vicious!!"

"Haha, murdering an elder of the royal family is a heinous crime. Now you have something to watch!"

"My majestic princess, you dare to cry out to catch the thief and slander Master Yuzhenzi. You must be punished!"

"..."

The buzz around him became louder and louder. Prince Li Changxiao relaxed his brows and finally had a proud smile on his lips.

Yuzhenzi, who had been speechless just now, finally let out a bad temper. She sat back in front of the case again, picked up the tea cup, and looked at the client Li Lingyue with gloating.

Li Lingyue, who originally thought of using Yu Zhenzi as a shield, did not expect that Xiao Jing'er would trick her at the critical moment. The other party would use Prince Yu's mouth to slander her. No one would believe her even if she had ten thousand words.

"Princess, what else do you have to say now? Hand over the antidote quickly, and I can forget the blame!" Li Changxiao yelled at Li Lingyue again, with an aggressive momentum and a completely different look from before. .

There is no way, now that the other party is standing in the right place at the right time, he completely breaks his face and stops pretending.

Li Lingyue looked away from Prince Yu, then adjusted her cuffs unhurriedly, and asked with a smile:

"It would be child's play for the county prince to believe that I am the murderer based only on the princess' words. Besides, King Yu cannot speak clearly. Who can know what he said!"

"Presumptuous!" Li Changxiao said loudly and unceremoniously: "My mother and concubine have been by my father's side all year round, and they are naturally aware of his words and deeds. Since she has heard that the murderer is you, how can she lie?!"

Li Lingyue raised her eyes and retorted: "It's a joke, she is a princess with a foreign surname, how can she compare to the blood relationship between Pindao and Prince Yu. As a descendant of the Li family, Pindao and Prince Yu are of the same lineage. Prince Yu said What, of course I know better than the princess!"

After the words fell, a general at the table impatiently continued: "Princess, please tell me, what did King Yu say?"

These words came at the right time. Li Lingyue turned around and scanned the people present, and said calmly:

"If Pindao heard it correctly, what King Yu just said was: the murderer who murdered me was... Yu Zhenzi!"

There was a "pop" sound. Yuzhenzi, who had just planned to sit back and watch, couldn't hold it back anymore and spurted out a mouthful of old tea. For a moment, he was full of embarrassment.

Even if she was beaten to death, she would never have imagined that at this juncture, Li Lingyue was still dragging her into trouble. What kind of hatred or grievance was this?

Fortunately, before she could speak, other people present had already stepped forward to help her refute it.

An old man in his seventies stood up with the help of two book boys, pointed at Li Lingyue with trembling fingers and scolded:

"I really can't stand it anymore. You are the princess of the dynasty, how can you be so messy and confusing right and wrong? The King of Yu is highly virtuous and respected, and he will never frame you falsely. Now that things have come to light, you don't want to repent or say anything, but you still want to frame the blame. Heavenly Master, why did the Li family have an unfilial daughter like you? What a tragedy, what a tragedy!"

After the old man finished speaking, a group of guests dressed as literati behind him echoed in unison. Prince Li Changxiao bowed humbly to the old man and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you Kong Weng for upholding justice for my palace!"

At some point, Wen Deju came to Li Lingyue with small steps and reminded him softly: "Princess, this person is a saint, and his status is beyond words. If you offend him, you will offend all the scholars in the world. Don't be impulsive, and be careful in your words and deeds." !”

Li Lingyue's heart thumped, "Hey, dear, why is Li Changxiao so humble? This old man is a descendant of Kong Shengren. I can't offend him. I really can't offend him."

Li Lingyue involuntarily took a small step back, fearing that she would be too close to the other party. If the other party got into trouble, she would be in trouble.

After learning the identity of the opponent, Li Lingyue adopted the courtesy first and then the attack. She also saluted Kong Weng, and then said with a smile:

"Kong Weng is knowledgeable and talented, and I really admire him. I'm just sorry for my stupidity. Did King Yu just say a word that pointed out the name of Pindao?"

Kong Weng frowned and realized that Li Lingyue was using King Yu's howling to explain himself. He heard clearly that King Yu only howled a few times. How could he know what he said? He stood up and pointed it out, and he subconsciously believed it.

No matter what Prince Yu said, now that he was on the side of Prince Yu's Mansion, he could only bite the bullet and continue to hold on, so he reprimanded loudly:
"Stop talking nonsense here. The princess said you were the murderer. She must have understood what Prince Yu said!"

"Oh?" Li Lingyue looked shocked and immediately retorted:
"It turns out that Kong Weng relies on other people's words to judge right from wrong. In this case, the poor man also heard the signal from King Yu. The murderer he mentioned was Princess Xiao who was accompanying him! Kong Weng can believe the princess's words , I wonder if Kong Weng is willing to believe what this princess says?"

Xiao Jinger, who was sitting next to Prince Yu, trembled when she heard this. If Li Changxiao hadn't quickly winked, she would have learned tense on the spot.

Kong Weng, on the other hand, was put off by Li Lingyue's words. The old man couldn't stand it, so he pointed at Li Lingyue with a red face and reprimanded:

"You...you...don't make excuses here. My ancestors said it right. Only women and villains in the world are difficult to raise!"

"Fuck your motherfucker!!"

A rough curse came out of He Shan's mouth. He was a martial artist and never looked down on scholars. When he heard Kong Weng compare Li Lingyue with a villain, he immediately stopped and strode to Kong Weng. , yelled at the top of his lungs:

"You old immortal, you dare to insult the princess of the dynasty. As the imperial inspector, I will now take you back to Chang'an to await trial."

As he said that, he stretched out his arm, trying to grab his shirt.

Kong Weng was born in a saint's family, and had been respected by scholars all over the world since he was a child. He had never seen such a rude man. When he saw He Shan was about to use violence, he was so frightened that he took two steps back, and shouted with trembling lips: "You... You...don't mess around!"

"Stop!" The voices of Li Lingyue, Zhao Weiting, and Wen Deju sounded at the same time.

The three people blocked the exit and had the same purpose. They could not let any Shanhu come and make things worse.

At the same time, the sentence "Wait a minute" also sounded at the same time.

The person who said this was He Lan Minzhi. When Li Changxiao and Kong Weng stood up to accuse Li Lingyue, Helan Minzhi knew that his cousin was in danger, so he stood up and walked towards her, preparing to take Li Lingyue away by force.

As soon as Li Lingyue counterattacked, he immediately realized that the situation was not irreversible. So he gave up the idea of ​​taking Li Lingyue away, stopped He Shan instead, stepped forward and bowed to Kong Weng, acting as a peacemaker.

"Kong Weng, calm down. As the inspector appointed by His Majesty, He Censor, when he sees the descendants of the royal family being humiliated, it is his duty to step in and defend him!"

In one sentence, He Shan's disrespect for Kong Weng was completely wiped out, and then he changed the subject and continued:

"I am not a talented student, but I also know a little bit about dumb language. I just heard clearly what Prince Yu said. The murderer he identified was indeed Princess Xiao. Of course, Princess Xiao was just an accomplice. The real mastermind behind the scenes was indeed Yu Zhenzi as mentioned by the princess. !”

"Poof!" With a sound, Yu Zhenzi lost her composure again. She now regrets attending this royal banquet.

"Hahaha! That's right! I heard it too. They are the murderers mentioned by the old prince. If you don't believe it, you can ask the old prince now!" He Shan laughed and agreed.

Nonsense, everyone knows that King Yu is paralyzed, can't speak with his mouth, and can't write with his hands. Naturally, the public is justified and the mother-in-law is justified.

Seeing Li Lingyue severing the relationship again, Li Changxiao became angry and suddenly played with his long sleeves and shouted loudly:

"It's nonsense. Mother and concubine have been in love with their father for many years. How could they poison and murder her? Yu Zhenzi is a master of the Taoist sect and has always been on good terms with my palace. It is even more impossible..."

"Bah!" He Shan directly interrupted Li Changxiao's words and retorted loudly: "Your grandma, they are not murderers, are they the princess? In terms of clan blood relationship, the princess is the grand-niece of the old prince. Now you would rather believe that the two A person with a foreign surname doesn’t believe your niece, so I dare to ask the prince, what are you thinking about?”

"Well said!" He Lan Minzhi applauded He Shan without thinking it was a big deal.

Most of the guests present were convinced by He Shan's words. Kong Weng, who was originally the leader, quietly returned to his seat without saying a word.

Li Lingyue secretly gave He Shan a thumbs up sign. This tough guy looked like an ordinary guy, but he didn't expect that he actually had two brushes when it came to quarreling with others.

"Stop arguing, the right and wrong will be decided by the public! Today we are all gathered together to visit King Yu, not to accuse anyone of being the murderer!"

Zhao Weiting, the governor of Henan who had been sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, finally stood up and spoke. As the second-in-command of Dongdu, his words were quite weighty. The voices of the guests present gradually became quieter.

Li Changxiao clenched his fists and reluctantly withdrew his vicious look at Li Lingyue. Even Zhao Weiting intervened to mediate. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only stop playing for the time being. Just as he was about to follow the other party's advice, unexpectedly, Li Lingyue came from behind. the sound of.

"What Zhao Fumu said is wrong. Now it's about Pindao's reputation. Since there are many famous officials in the Eastern Capital City, Pindao thinks it's better to find out in public!"

With a "poof" sound, this time it was the turn of the governor, Wen De, to spray tea.

He looked at Li Lingyue with a despairing look on his face, already complaining in his heart: Auntie, people are burning incense even if they don't bother you, but you are kicking your nose and face, and you don't even look at where this place is, and you really think you are Is it Empress Wu? Have the ability to fight back in desperate situations?
Not only Wen Deju, but also Zhao Weiting, Kong Weng, He Shan, and even Li Changxiao all looked at Li Lingyue in disbelief.

Only Helan Minzhi, who was by her side, had a smile of admiration on his lips.

"Princess! Forgive me for speaking frankly. Whether King Yu was harmed by evildoers will be determined by the government after investigation. Princess, it is better to concentrate on cultivating Taoism and not to get involved!" Zhao Weiting reminded in a deep voice as he moved the tea cup with his fingers.

Obviously, this is a continuation of Li Lingyue's steps. Zhao Weiting is currently the largest official in the Eastern Capital. He does not want the princess to be involved in the poisoning case in Prince Yu's Mansion, which will not only offend Empress Wu, but also make it difficult for Li Zhi, so no matter what, he will Don't make things worse.

"Zhao Fumu, you have also seen it. If the princess wants to investigate further, then I, the Prince of Yu, will accompany her to the end!"

Li Changxiao was afraid that Zhao Weiting would interfere, so he quickly intervened and planned to fight with Li Lingyue to the end.

In his opinion, he was the victim, and King Yu was unable to speak. No matter how the other party tried to quibble, he would never be able to find out the truth. Instead, he would be easily involved, making him the best suspect.

But Li Lingyue didn't think so. On the contrary, she felt that if she had been fooled like this, even if she was innocent, there would be no guarantee that these guests would not gossip after leaving the palace. If she wanted to really get rid of the relationship, she had to use actual evidence to let them know. Everyone was convinced.

After making up his mind, Li Lingyue said loudly to Zhao Weiting, Kong Weng and others:
"Today, Zhao Fumu, He Yushi, and Kong Weng happened to be present. Pindao would like to ask these three to be witnesses. Pindao has a way to find out the real culprit who murdered King Yu to prove his innocence!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Li Changxiao: "I wonder, Prince, if you... dare to accept the move?"

Li Lingyue's confident attitude made Li Changxiao feel a little scared in his heart, but that's all he said, so he could only reply strong and calmly:

"As long as you can convince everyone with a joke, feel free to show your method."

Li Lingyue snapped her fingers: "Okay, this is what you said!"

After saying that, under the curious and puzzled eyes of everyone, Li Lingyue turned around and walked towards King Yu's direction.

King Yu, who was on the throne, was paralyzed on the throne, his mouth was dripping with tears, but he kept making a low howl of "Ahhh" with all his strength.

Li Changxiao was afraid that Li Lingyue would get close to check on Prince Yu, so he rushed between the two of them and opened his arms to stop her.

"Don't come near my father, who knows if you will continue to harm him!"

Seeing that Li Changxiao looked slightly guilty, Li Lingyue became more convinced of her thoughts. She put her hands behind her hands and smiled disdainfully:
"Don't worry, Pindao is just talking to Prince Yu and will never touch him in the slightest!"

After hearing this, Li Changxiao felt relieved a little, but with a guilty conscience, he still couldn't figure out what medicine Li Lingyue was selling in the gourd, so he winked at Xiao Jing'er.

After Li Changxiao completely moved away, Li Lingyue waved to Zhao Weiting and others. The three of them understood and stood up and walked to Li Lingyue. The other guests followed involuntarily. Everyone gathered around and turned their attention to King Yu.

Li Lingyue cleared her throat, looked into Prince Yu's eyes, and then spoke unhurriedly:

"Your Majesty, please look into my eyes. If you are being coerced? Just wink at us!"

The next moment, a magical scene appeared!

King Yu, who was still howling low, suddenly became quiet. He didn't make any more noise, but his eyelids squirmed and he kept blinking at everyone.

This move undoubtedly showed that King Yu understood Li Lingyue's words and admitted that he was being coerced at this moment.

When everyone was immersed in a state of shock, no one noticed that Li Changxiao's face instantly turned pale...

　Happy New Year everyone, sorry for the delay again!
