Concubine is always arrogant

Chapter 64 Witness
After Prince Murong Haoxuan found out who it was, it was said that he was furious, and then directly put Li Hongyu in prison without giving him a chance to explain.

The emperor handed over the matter to the crown prince.

In order to give an explanation to several people, Murong Haoxuan called everyone together that day.

"I'm looking for everyone to come today. I think everyone should know why." Murong Haoxuan sat at the main seat in the hall. This is his Prince's Mansion, and he is the only one who can sit there. I have presented the evidence, and this time I will show you what it is.”

After the prince finished speaking, a servant came up immediately, dragging a mahogany wooden tray with both hands, which was covered with a red cloth.

Just seeing the shape of that thing, Yan Jiuxuan had a bad feeling in her heart.

The prince picked up the corner of the red cloth with his hand, and once again looked at the person who was kneeling in the main hall but refused to bow his head.

"Li Hongyu, I also thought you had a bright future, what else do you have to say now?"

Li Hongyu raised his head and gave the prince a cold look, "I said, it's not me!"

"Oh," the prince laughed, "Of course I know that the chief ambassador is not you. The prince has no grievances with you, and you have no reason to pay me to kill me."

Seeing that Li Hongyu's nerves seemed to relax a bit, Murong Haoxuan's voice softened, with a hint of inducement.

"I know I want to know who ordered you to do this."

A faint sentence was like thunder on the ground, and everyone present couldn't calm down.

Yan Jiuxuan looked at the people on the ground calmly, and she understood what the prince meant.

Let’s just talk about how a dignified prince would do these unclear things, because he wanted to use this to get rid of some people.

As soon as the prince's words fell, the Fourth Prince Murong Xuyang subconsciously looked at Murong Chenyi.

He didn't know who the main envoy was, but he knew who the prince was targeting this time, it was his eighth younger brother Murong Chenyi, so he must be right.

In fact, there is absolutely no need for Murong Haoxuan to do this, whether it is his father's favor or anything else that can be compared, as a prince he is better than his eighth brother Murong Chenyi.

In recent years, my eighth brother has been able to hide his strength and bide his time, and has been on the sidelines in the struggle among the various princes. Apart from self-protection, it is because he really has nothing left.

But this state of having nothing changed after Yan Jiuxuan appeared.

Don't talk about what I saw that day, even according to what Yan Jiuxuan showed before, such a woman is tempting.

A person who doesn't seek wealth and status, who is a bit stubborn and a little clever, who can understand the general situation, if he is not the fiancée of his eighth brother, then he might choose to fight for it.

Now what does the prince mean...

"No one," Li Hongyu said stiffly, "I didn't do it in the first place."

I didn't expect Li Hongyu to say it so simply, the prince's face was a bit ugly, he had hinted it before.

Li Hongyu scoffed at the prince's suggestion. Their Li family has always been a neutral faction. As long as the emperor personally decreed to pass on the throne, that person would be supported by their Li family. Before that, their Li family would not participate in the relationship between the princes. of struggle.

But I didn't expect that the two who had been quietly not helping each other would now become the first person to be operated on.

Murong Haoxuan lifted the red cloth on the plate, revealing a piece of jade pendant inside, high-quality mutton fat white jade, warm color, fine carving.

This jade is worth a lot at first glance, the most eye-catching thing is the Li character on it, which just proves who its owner is.

When Li Hongyu saw this jade pendant, his heart felt cold.

How could this thing be here with this person?

"It was given to me by the last person I caught when the crown prince was investigating. This is your jade pendant, right?"

When the prince asked questions, he carried a kind of confidence that he was determined to win, and he was basically forcing Li Hongyu to answer according to his own ideas.

"This jade pendant was lost a long time ago," said Li Hongyu, although he had no evidence, "I pawned it to a pawnshop guy at the time, and it was lost when I was going to redeem it."

"What evidence do you have for saying this?" The prince didn't believe it.

Li Hongyu thought for a while, but still didn't mention Yan Jiuxuan. If this person was really involved, he would intuitively feel that there would be even bigger troubles.

"If the prince doesn't believe it, you can find someone to ask the pawn shop guy, maybe he still remembers."

Murong Haoxuan sneered, "Okay, the Crown Prince will follow you, come and bring the pawnbroker."

The waiting time was always long, and Li Hongyu felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Everyone around looked like they had nothing to do with him. Li Hongyu was disappointed with these people, and subconsciously looked at Yan Jiuxuan.

Yan Jiuxuan lowered her head, as if she was thinking about something, with a serious expression on her face.

Li Hongyu could only smile wryly in his heart, this time he really blamed himself.

Now Yan Jiuxuan is also very difficult to do. She knew that Li Hongyu lost the jade pendant, but the time she knew was not convincing. She didn't see the jade pendant at all. pawn ticket.

More importantly, Yan Jiuxuan stood up to testify for Li Hongyu, which to a certain extent also represented the attitude of Murong Chenyi's people. If the crown prince brought the matter to Murong Chenyi...

"His Royal Highness, someone brought it."

The little boy at the pawn shop had never seen such a formation before. After seeing Murong Haoxuan, he saluted him tremblingly, "Little... I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Well, you get up first." Murong Haoxuan stretched out his hand expressionlessly and pointed at Li Hongyu who was kneeling beside him, "The prince has something to ask you, have you met this guilty minister before?"

Murong Haoxuan's words were very misleading. He directly said that Li Hongyu was a guilty minister. According to the human nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, even if he had seen it, he probably wouldn't dare to admit it.

Sure enough, after hearing the prince's question, the young man turned pale with fright, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I have never seen this person before!"

Afraid that the crown prince would not believe what he said, the young man quickly knelt down and kept explaining: "His Royal Highness, you also know...the young one...the young one is a pawnbroker, how could the young one have any relationship with the guilty minister?" .”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Hongyu rushed forward and grabbed the boy's collar, "Open your dog eyes wide and take a good look, how could you not have seen me!"

The boy was too frightened to open his eyes, and just kept waving his hands, "My lord, you must have misunderstood me, I really haven't seen you, I really haven't seen you!"
