Chapter 20
As a last resort right now, let's save him first. Uncle must have already arranged for Qingcheng's identity, so it doesn't hurt to say the favor of saving his life now.

"This..." Tokuyu hesitated, for saving his life?He hadn't heard of it.

A voice sounded from behind, "Of course there is a life-saving grace!" Everyone looked for the voice and looked back, only to see Mr. Pian Pian in a purple robe holding a white fan with a poem in his hand. Isn't this the Seventh Prince who is it?
Everyone bowed and said: "Join the Seventh Highness."

Cang Shuo looked at Cang Lan protecting the woman behind him, and couldn't help taunting with a slight curl of his lips: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness to be an infatuated kind, so I brought someone to rescue your sweetheart, brother."

He originally thought that under the imperial decree, the crown prince would sacrifice that woman in order to quench his anger, but he didn't expect that this would actually protect her well.Tsk, this person, once he has a weakness, he will be full of loopholes in the future.

Cang Lan's face became even more ugly, "What are you doing here?"

Cang Shuo's face leaked a few strands of unexplained smiles, and he walked slowly to Qingcheng's side, "Tsk, the pear blossoms are raining, she really is a beauty, no wonder His Royal Highness is reluctant."

Qingcheng was stared straight at him, and in order to avoid his gaze, he took two steps back with some discomfort. From an angle that was invisible to everyone, there was a trace of almost imperceptible coldness in his eyes.

De Yu said respectfully, "Seventh prince, just now you said that this girl has saved the prince's life?"

Cang Shuo spread out the white fan in his hand, "Not only is there the grace of saving lives, but also the revenge of destroying the family, His Royal Highness, don't you think so?"

Everyone was shocked in an instant.

Especially the prince, he clenched his hands restrainedly, thinking a lot in his mind, Qingcheng's identity was found out, how did he find out the person who was wiped out a year ago?Cang Lan calmed down in an instant, so what if he knew?This sentence is clearly a set, what is the revenge of destroying the family?Where did he have any enmity with Qingcheng?Cang Lan said with a straight face: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Cang Shuo was still smiling, "Nonsense? Ruan Fang's daughter, who was supposed to be beheaded by the family, not only did not die, but was still beside His Royal Highness, and almost became a side concubine?"

Cang Lan narrowed his eyes, "The Seventh Emperor is really staring at the hall every day..."

Oh, it seems to be true!He was still dubious about what was written on the note, and the corners of Cang Shuo's lips curled up slightly, "The prince should avoid the important and choose the light, openly cover the daughter of a criminal minister, and even allow her to be a side concubine, the prince is still in front of the emperor." Make it clear." There was a trace of coldness in his eyes, hum, Cang Lan, this time you will have an arm broken.

Lingxiao Palace

Seeing the two kneeling down, the Holy Majesty rubbed his brows, "What's going on, Prince, please tell me."

Just now Lao Qi had already recounted what happened, so he endured the anger in his heart and gave the prince another chance to speak clearly in person.

A glint of gloom flashed in the Seventh Prince's eyes. The matter was so clear that the emperor wanted to give the prince a chance to defend himself.

At this time, Qingcheng, who was dressed in white clothes like snow, interrupted the crown prince. She suddenly knelt down a few steps and kowtowed in front of the Holy One, saying: "Your Majesty, I beg you to see clearly, my father has been wronged!"

At this moment, the hall was silent, even the Seventh Prince was startled.

"Injustice?" Emperor Xuan snorted coldly, and with a tone that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, he tapped the dragon chair lightly with his fingers and made a "thump, thump, thump" sound. The whole hall was full of coercion. It's not easy.

Ruan Qingcheng shed a few drops of cold sweat, his eyes were full of determination, he looked up at the Holy Majesty, "My Majesty, my father was wronged, His Royal Highness can prove that there are doubts in this matter!"

Everyone looked at the prince again, the prince's pupils shrank sharply, and a drop of cold sweat broke out, "Qingcheng! You..."

"Your Majesty!" Ruan Qingcheng interrupted him again, "The little girl is Ruan Qingcheng, the daughter of Ruan Fang, the county magistrate of Yunhefeng County. My father was ransacked and beheaded for corruption, but there is something hidden. My father is in Fengxian County. He is a good official who is loved and loved by all the people. When the incident happened, my father had never seen the shadow of the official bank! During the flood, he even spent his family wealth to help the people, and the family and women were starving, how could he be corrupt!"

"You said the crown prince can prove it for you?" Emperor Xuan's eyes were cold at the moment, and he looked at the people below without anger.

"Qingcheng!" The prince wanted to interrupt her.

Qingcheng kowtowed and ignored it, "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, after my father was beheaded by all the families, the little girl escaped by chance, and undoubtedly passed by and found His Royal Highness being hunted down, so she blocked the sword for the prince when she was in danger, but After waking up, the little girl revealed her identity to the prince, and because her father wanted the prince to conduct a thorough investigation, the little girl did not conceal her identity as the daughter of a criminal minister from beginning to end. Fortunately, His Royal Highness is worthy of being the prince of Daye. As soon as I talked about it, I found that my father's matter was indeed suspicious, so I kept the little girl by my side, and then investigated the matter secretly."

"My daughter and His Highness the Crown Prince are innocent. It is His Highness the Crown Prince who does not want a good official who serves the country and the people to be wronged for no reason, so he bears the infamy of disappointing Miss An and keeps the little girl by his side. His Highness the Crown Prince does not want the identity of the little girl to be exposed. Because he was afraid that the little girl would be in danger, and that the mastermind who framed my father back then would kill the little girl..."

Everyone was stunned when they heard these words. These words seemed to make sense, but wasn't the Crown Prince personally interrogating the matter in Feng County back then?
When Cang Lan heard these words, his heart was in a state of disbelief. He didn't allow him to react for a long time, and he immediately said: "Please punish the crime of negligence! The matter of Ruan County Magistrate was reported by Lord Chen who judged the matter. The evidence was conclusive, so the order was issued without doubt. However, according to Ms. Ruan's statement afterwards, she found that there were still doubts. Later, Erchen carefully sorted out and thought about the matter of Ruan County Magistrate, and found that it might be someone who deliberately fabricated evidence to mislead Chen. My lord, this is my son's negligence. I beg my father to give me my son's sin!"

Damn it!The arrow was on the string and had to be fired, Cang Lan looked at Qingcheng coldly.When he just spoke, he had already thought about the prognosis of this matter in his mind. If it is handled well, it will be good, if it is not handled well...

"Boom!" The table in front of Emperor Xuan had cracked a few cracks, and he said angrily, "Prince! The crime of corruption is a trifling matter! In Daye, we can only have people who deserve to die, not people who die in vain. people!"

When Ruan Qingcheng heard this, she raised her head immediately, tears flowed down her eyes, her eyes were extremely red, she panted loudly, and tried her best to restrain the voice that was about to choke, "Da Ye can only have a damn There can be no one who dies in vain." Father, this is what the Holy One said, did you hear it in heaven?
"Bang bang bang!" The sound of kowtow sounded above the main hall, Ruan Qingcheng kowtowed desperately to the ground, blood dripped down her forehead, and she begged: "I beseech the holy order to investigate this matter thoroughly again!"
