Chapter 57

Xue Yi looked at Shangguan Fenglan's leaving back, saw him limping on crutches and leaving slowly.


It turned out that what he had crippled was only one leg, and he used a wheelchair on weekdays just to move around the mansion more conveniently.


After a while, Meng Ran came out with Princess Yuning.


She sat quietly in the chair.


After a while, the limping figure came out again, and said to Meng Ran, "Meng Ran, bring that girl up."


Meng Ran quickly went to the backyard again and brought back a woman, to be exact, a Taoist nun.


The Taoist nun described herself as uneasy, knelt on the ground trembling with hands and feet.


Shangguan Fenglan stared coldly at the people on the ground, and said:


"I just took turns to interrogate you. You are the only one who spoke differently, but the other proofs of presence can be matched. Say, where were you when Princess Jing was taking a bath!"


The nun was shaking so badly that she just knelt down and kowtowed:

"Pindao has never told a lie. Pindao has been reciting scriptures in the scripture room, no... never came out."


Shangguan Fenglan said slowly:


"The last time Prince Jing's mansion was stolen, it was done by an inside thief. That woman just refused to tell the truth like you. Later, all her teeth were pulled out, her tongue was burned with a branding iron, and then locked in a lock. Open your mouth."


Hearing this, Xue Yi looked sideways at Shangguan Fenglan in surprise, a heart-warming chill spread from his back.


If the person under the mask was King Jing's master, she couldn't imagine what King Jing would have been like as his apprentice during his lifetime.


The nun's face was pale with fright, and her teeth were chattering. Everyone could hear Geda Geda's voice. The nun bowed down and said intermittently:


"Speak, say, the poor, please show mercy and spare the life of the poor!"


"The silver chestnut powder is, it was released by the poor Taoist."


"When did you release it?"


"It was when the princess was taking a bath, and the poor Taoist mixed a little ecstasy in the sesame oil used for the princess's bath in advance, and when the princess was asleep, he sprinkled silver water chestnut powder on the clothes that the princess was going to wear."


"Who instructed?"


"No! No one ordered it. It was the work of Pindao. Pindao alone!"


"Don't tell the truth?"


The Taoist nun suddenly kowtowed desperately, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang, blood stains appeared on her forehead.


"Mr. Please, my lord, please spare my life. It's really just that Pindao did it alone. No one ordered it! It's just because Pindao's sister was insulted and died by the soldiers of Beicang Kingdom. Pindao wants to do it for her. Revenge, that's why I planned to kill the princess of Beicang Kingdom, that's all. I just want revenge"


After finishing speaking, the nun continued to kowtow desperately to beg for mercy.


Xue Yi felt bitter in his heart, but Shangguan Fenglan still said indifferently:


"Looks like there's no need for torture. You don't intend to recruit, Meng Ran."


"and many more!"


Xue Yi stopped Shangguan Fenglan, pointed to the Taoist nun on the ground and said:


"Since she has confessed, why do you torture her?"


"If you don't say what is behind the scenes, it is not a confession."


"Didn't she say that she just wanted to avenge her dead sister?"


"You believe it?"


"."


Xue Yi hesitated for a second.


In fact, she was also a little skeptical, after all, if it harms people in the palace, it is the princess of a country, the princess of the prince, so it must be courageous and have a plan, and the Taoist nun in front of her seems to have no such skills. Perfect conditions, however.

She didn't want to kill a person because of her.


She also didn't want to know who was behind the scenes.


Xue Yi said: "I believe it."


Shangguan Fenglan seemed to sneer, and said lightly to Meng Ran: "Send this nun to the prison, and choose a day to be executed."


"Wait a moment!"


Xue Yi looked at the cold mask in disbelief, "She didn't kill anyone, why did she want to behead her!"


At this time, the nun's face was covered in blood, desperately begging for mercy.


Shangguan Fenglan said indifferently: "She is harmful to others, so no matter whether the operation is successful or not, she wants to kill you. Although you are not dead, she cannot live!"


"Can't!"


Xue Yi stopped in front of the Taoist nun, "If it is wrong, it is because of me, Beicang. It was people from my Beicang country who killed her sister. If she came to seek revenge today, it is only from my Beicang country." so you can't kill her!"


Seeing that Xueyi was desperately protecting her, the Taoist nun grabbed Xueyi's skirt with trembling hands and begged. Princess Yuning stood up and said, "Mr. Whether they are all capital offenses, but, she is a member of my Taoist temple, and as her master, I have more or less a responsibility."


Shangguan Fenglan looked at them quietly, said nothing, left on crutches, turned around and said:

"Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. The Ministry of punishment will give you a [-]-year-old rod and expel you from the palace."


The nun kowtowed desperately to thank her.


Xue Yi watched his leaving back for a long time, until the eldest princess woke her up, and she felt that she had collapsed and collapsed.

------------------------


I only slept in the middle of the night, and woke up again in the early morning on the first day of Yuanchun.


In the middle of the night, she couldn't fall asleep, perhaps because she soaked in the hot spring last night, but she is still full of energy today.


On this day, members of the royal family will go to Guojian Temple to offer sacrifices to the heavens. After the sacrifices to the heavens, there will be hunting in the paddock.


The sound of firecrackers, the numerous songs are like brocade.


On the streets of the imperial capital, every place is filled with the joy of Yuanchun.


The royal team was mighty and mighty, winding and dragging the whole street, the snow stopped, and the cold sunshine shone through.


It seems that everything from yesterday has dissipated, and today can start again.


She has seen the prosperity of the imperial capital and the beautiful scenery of the imperial capital. At this moment, she has no intention of thinking about a white figure.


I don't know how the prince is doing today?

Just as he was thinking, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the carriage, "I heard about what happened last night."


Xue Yi was stunned for a second, and hurriedly raised the curtain to look out, but Shangguan Zhuzhu poked her head out first:

"Brother Prince, hey, how are you riding a horse today?"


"Because I'm going hunting."


"Hunting is dangerous, Zhuzhu will be worried."


"Silly girl, I'm the prince. There are many people protecting me. How could something happen?"


Shangguan Zhuzhu thought for a while, it seems that this is the case?

After thinking about it, he replied with a smiling face, "Why don't you take Zhuzhu with you!"


"Not today."


"why?"


"Because your prince brother has someone to take with him today, so you can only choose another day."


"Ah, who is it? Is it more important than Zhuzhu?"


The window was completely squeezed out by Zhuzhu, so Xueyi had no choice but to sit back.


I vaguely heard what they were talking about, and my heartbeat was a little disordered. Seeing that he can ride and talk, I think his body has recovered today.


After thinking about it, he let out a sigh of relief.
