"Why don't we find a few young ladies from aristocratic families of the same age? Since we are all of the same age, there won't be any awkwardness." Long Zeyu couldn't help but applaud Murong Xuelian's suggestion, so he asked for Murong Qiqi's opinion. Murong Qiqi didn't have much to say. No matter what, she had to get revenge for today's humiliation!
There were only two young ladies from aristocratic families of similar status — Bai Yiyue and Duanmu Yiyi. The two of them were called forward. Then, the palace maids pulled up a two-meter-tall white cloth to form a square barrier in the middle of the imperial garden. The three of them went inside.
This was the first time Duanmu Yiyi had encountered something like this, so she was slightly nervous. After all, the empress was her aunt, and Long Zeyu was her cousin. Their relationship was not ordinary.
Murong Qiqi, on the other hand, was calm when she saw Duanmu Yiyi's cautiousness. She immediately took off her robe, revealing her snow-white arms. A red bean-sized 'shou gong sha', as red as blood, quietly lay on the snow-white ground. Everything had been revealed.
"Princess, you have been wronged!" Bai Yiyue saw the dot and nodded at Murong Qiqi. She personally helped her put on the robe.
"I hope the two of you can prove my innocence!" After putting on the robe, Murong Qiqi walked out of the barrier.
What should I do? What should I do? Duanmu Yiyi was currently hesitant. If she told the truth and Murong Qiqi really killed Long Zeyu, what would she do? At that time, her aunt, the empress, would definitely look for her to settle the score!
However, if she slandered Murong Qiqi, not to mention the fact that Bai Yiyue was there as a witness, it would be hard on her conscience. Duanmu Yiyi was very clear about the importance of innocence to a girl!
Just as Duanmu Yiyi was hesitating, Bai Yiyue said something that made her completely decide.
"I heard that the empress dowager has always been upright and kind. Imperial Prince Jing grew up by her side and was influenced by her. His character is also extraordinary. Since Miss Duanmu is interested in Imperial Prince Jing, you should understand his preferences. This is also for yourself — "
It had to be said that Bai Yiyue's words had a direct effect. In just a moment, Duanmu Yiyi made her decision.
When the two of them walked out, everyone was waiting for them to announce the result. Duanmu Qing even stared straight at Duanmu Yiyi. She understood this niece of hers, and she also knew that Duanmu Yiyi hated Murong Qiqi. As long as Duanmu Yiyi denied it, there was still room for negotiation.
"How is it?" Long Zeyu looked at the two anxiously. He had never felt that time was passing so slowly.
"Your Majesty, the Sunshine Princess is as pure as ice and as clean as jade." For Longze Jingtian, for her own future, Duanmu Yiyi calmly told the truth. Bai Yi Yue, who was beside Duanmu Yiyi, also nodded. "The Sunshine Princess is indeed a good woman who cherishes herself. Your Majesty, please uphold justice for the Sunshine Princess!"
"Yiyi!" Duanmu Qing's voice was filled with astonishment. There was even a trace of anger in her astonishment. Didn't Duanmu Yiyi hate Murong Qiqi? Why would he help her now? What about Long Zhe and Yu 'er? If Murong Qiqi really wanted to pursue the matter, how could she protect her daughter?
Duanmu Yiyi lowered her head at Duanmu Qing's accusatory gaze. Bai Yiyue's earlier words rang in her ears. Auntie, I'm sorry! I can't let Imperial Prince Jing hate me!
With these two's words, Long Zeyu suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Murong Qiqi was innocent. Otherwise, if Feng Cang pursued the matter of them sending a woman to appease him, he would be in big trouble.
However, just as Long Zeyu heaved a sigh of relief, he started to have a headache again. If Murong Qiqi was innocent, then wasn't Long Zhe Yu 'er slandering her?
According to their earlier agreement, Murong Qiqi would take Long Zhe Yu 'er's life! Although the child did not live up to expectations, she was still his biological child. If he were to watch her being killed right under his nose, what would the commoners say if word got out? How would the world laugh at him?
Long Zhe Yu 'er probably sensed the situation he was in. His earlier arrogance disappeared and his entire body started to tremble.
"Princess Ping Yang, are you going to end yourself, or do you want me to send you on your way?" Murong Qiqi pretended not to see Long Zhe Yu 'er retreating and drew her dagger.
"Although this consort has never killed a person, nor have I killed chickens or ducks, when His Highness chopped off Princess Xin's hands earlier, this consort watched carefully and learned quite a bit. Although I can't do it as cleanly as His Highness, don't worry, this consort will definitely not let you feel any pain. Really! "
Murong Qiqi smiled from ear to ear and her voice was filled with tenderness. If it wasn't for the fact that her words were filled with threats, others would think that she was having a heart-to-heart chat with someone.
"No, don't —"
The more harmless Murong Qiqi was, the more chilling it was. Long Zhe Yu 'er shook his head and retreated. She didn't want to end up like Mingyue Xin. She didn't want to end up like that. She was a princess! How could Murong Qiqi dare to be so rude to her?
Before Long Zhe Yu 'er could finish, Murong Qiqi's expression changed. "Don't want? How can that be! Do you think this consort is easy to bully? Do you think North Zhou is easy to bully? The dignified Princess Nan Lin was actually forced to prove her innocence at the state banquet of Xi Qi. If this gets out, how do you expect this consort to live? "
At the end, Murong Qiqi's eyes became moist again. Before anyone could understand what was going on, crystalline tears flowed down her cheeks like a broken dam.
"Qingqing —" Faced with Murong Qiqi's tears, Feng Cang didn't know what to do. As he carefully wiped away her tears, his hostility skyrocketed. "Qingqing, this consort will definitely avenge you on the battlefield for the humiliation you suffered today!"
Seeing that Feng Cang wanted to escalate this matter and even mention the battlefield, Long Zeyu couldn't sit still anymore. He rushed to Long Zhe Yu 'er and slapped her hard. "Bastard! How did I give birth to a thing like you?! "
"Father …" Long Zhe Yu 'er was seeing stars from Long Zeyu's two slaps. Although she was a daughter, she had been doted on by Long Zeyu since she was young. Her father had never laid a finger on her, but he had slapped her in front of so many people today.
"You shut up!"
Afraid that Long Zhe Yu 'er would say something else, Long Zeyu angrily rebuked her for her to shut up. Knowing that Long Zeyu was truly angry, Long Zhe Yu 'er forced a bitter expression and held back her tears. She stood there with her red and swollen face, not daring to move.
