Chapter 506: Male Pet, the incident (Part 1)
The situation he learned from the three princes was enough to prove that this matter has nothing to do with Lin Chujiu, or even if this matter was done by Lin Chujiu, Lin Chujiu has enough evidence to prove that everything has nothing to do with her.
Lin Chujiu’s guards didn’t enter the courtyard; Her only shadow guard was knocked down by Princess Fushou Zhao, and was still being guarded by her guards until now.
Lin Chujiu was drunk by Princess Fushou Zhang, and she was indeed drunk when she left early. The big black bear who went crazy in the courtyard has nothing to do with Lin Chujiu. When that happened, Lin Chujiu had already left, the guards in the mansion could testify.
In other words, Lin Chujiu and the people she brought with her had sufficient alibi to prove that no matter how the emperor spilled dirty water on her, he couldn’t count Princess Fushou Zhang’s death on Lin Chujiu’s head.
The emperor sighed, and didn’t hold on with Lin Chujiu anymore, but asked: “Who killed the eldest princess?”
The emperor’s words seemed to be asking the three princes, but it was more like talking to himself. Xiao Zian and Prince Wen bowed their heads and said nothing, while the Crown Prince was hesitant. Under such circ.u.mstances, the emperor naturally asked the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince hesitated for a moment, but then said: “Imperial Father, I heard from the people in the mansion that there is a male pet disguising as a woman, who was bought by Eldest Imperial Aunt. Eldest Imperial Aunt sent someone to look for him in Jiangnan and let him pretend to be a maidservant. This male pet eats and lives with Eldest Imperial Aunt, and they were very close. When Eldest Imperial Aunt had an accident, this person had disappeared.”
When the Crown prince spoke those words, his voice became smaller and smaller. Even if he didn’t look up, he knew that their imperial father was very angry.
“Male pet? She looks for another male pet? She is indeed wretched!” The Emperor was originally feeling guilty by had 3 points, but now it all disappeared.
Their imperial family lost their face because she was raising male pets. The emperor threw her outside the capital to reflect. He didn’t want her to have another scandal just like before. But she still bought a male pet from Jiangnan?
If this matter spreads out, how will their imperial family keep their face?
The Emperor’s face turned blue in anger. The three princes didn’t dare to take a breath. It took a long time before they heard the emperor’s voice again, saying: “You should forget about this matter. I don’t want to hear this matter ever again.”
“I understand.” The three princes knelt down and almost swear to promise.
“Retreat.” The Emperor was no longer interested in questioning things related to this incident. He sent his spy to investigate, so there will be news by tomorrow.
“We will retire.” The three princes didn’t dare to stay longer and walked out one by one.
The Crown Prince and Prince Wen had a mansion outside the palace. While Xiao Zian still lived in the palace. The three of them walked in different directions, so they separated after leaving the palace.
Xiao Zian walked towards the Qinghe Hall alone, while the Crown Prince and Prince Wen walked in the other direction. Before leaving, the Crown Prince looked at Xiao Zian’s departing back and indifferently said: “Zian is really loved by imperial father. He still lives in the palace. I remember Imperial Brother Wen left the palace when you turned 16, right?”
Prince Wen knew in his heart that the Crown Prince was trying to provoke his relations.h.i.+p with Xiao Zian. Although he didn’t like Xiao Zian, it doesn’t mean that he would be fooled by the Crown Prince.
