"How did you come?"
Ling Muer looked at the handsome and monstrous man standing in front of her in surprise.
"If Chaoyang hadn't returned to the mansion, I didn't know you would be here. Why didn't you send someone to inform me when you entered the palace?"
Su Ce didn't turn his head back, and his calm and forceful words overflowed from his thin lips, making Ling Mu'er, who was still a little trembling just now, feel a sense of security in an instant.
"Prince Su Xiaojun, don't think that if you protect her today, you can avoid her guilt. She hurt my Lian'er, and she must not be forgiven lightly."
Concubine Shu is the emperor's favored concubine and has a place in the harem, so she naturally has no fear of Su Ce.
Su Ce looked at Princess Lian'er, then at the aggressive Concubine Shu, and slanted his lips, "I don't know how Miss Ling hurt Princess Lian'er, I only know that she can't carry weapons with her when she enters the palace. If I'm not mistaken, this dagger should be carried by Princess Lian'er, right? In other words, even if Miss Ling just hurt the princess, it was the princess who provoked her first!"
He didn't ask anything, didn't look at it, and firmly believed in Ling Muer's innocence.
Let her have an instant touch.
"No, this dagger is not mine!"
Throwing the dagger to the ground, Lian'er refused to admit it, and screamed for pain while clutching her neck.
"Lian'er? What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you announce the imperial doctor immediately!" Concubine Shu held her daughter while glaring at Ling Muer fiercely, "I should tell you Ling Muer, if there is anything wrong with my Lian'er , I will let your whole family be buried with you!"
Turning to look at Su Ce again, Concubine Shu looked arrogant, "My Lian'er is a dignified princess, is it worth getting entangled with such troublesome people? Who knows where she stole this dagger, it is necessary to deliberately hurt the royal princess." The great crime of exterminating the nine clans. Su Ce, not to mention that you have nothing to do with her, even if you do, you, a majestic county king, still want to interfere in the royal affairs!"
Well, the high hat must be put on Su Ce's head.
It must not be admitted that Concubine Shu Gui thought of all possible situations and made preparations in advance.
"The imperial concubine insisted that it was Miss Ling who hurt Princess Lian'er. Well, what is the motive of Miss Ling's action? Why did she do this? In addition, if the king of this county remembers correctly, Princess Lian'er is still in the emperor's house." During the punishment period, if you enter the palace without being called, does your empress know that it is also a capital offense?"
Hearing this, Lian'er shuddered, she bit her lip and looked at the noble concubine uncertainly, hissed: "Mother concubine, what should I do?"
Concubine Shu obviously didn't expect Su Ce to defend Ling Mu'er so much, she secretly gave Lian'er a look to signal her to rest assured. Looking at Su Ce again, she sneered a few times, "Is the little county king determined to fight against me? We have seen that she is a troublemaker who hurt the princess. Is it possible that we have to swallow our anger and be bullied by her for nothing?"
Su Ce also smiled back, although he looked gentle but cold, "If Miss Ling really hurt Princess Lian'er, the king of this county will naturally not protect her, but she has never done it, and I will decide today if I am here." You are not allowed to accuse her of unnecessary crimes!"
Su Ce cast a cold stare, and the guards around him were so frightened that they backed away.
"Well, Su Ce, you have abandoned my Lian'er in order to protect a commoner's daughter. Okay, I will tell you that he hurt my Lian'er for her." Concubine Shu looked at Ling Mu'er as if she wanted her Eat it alive.
"Because she snatched away our Lian'er's favorite man and even tried to kill her, and why my Lian'er appeared in the palace at this time is because she misses me as a concubine! The emperor ordered her not to enter Gong Dan did not decree not to allow her to meet her mother."
"If I want to silence her, I can just poison her. How can I openly assassinate in the palace? Besides, she rushed out to kill me just now, and the wound on her neck was also cut by herself." Ling Muer explained.
"Why did our Lian'er murder you so well? You are a little poor man, is it worthy of the princess to attack you personally? Besides, you said that our Lian'er did it first, and who saw it? And you just took the dagger to kill you." Kill Lian'er and the servants saw it with their own eyes!" Concubine Shu Guifei spoke aggressively.
Su Ce frowned tightly. He had to be more shameless than them when he encountered such troublesome people.
"The king of this county saw it." He said quietly, his face didn't blush and his heart beat when he talked nonsense.
"You..." Concubine Shu was impatient, she never expected that Su Ce, who used to be noble and unruly in the past, would defend Ling Muer so much.
"You're talking nonsense, you just arrived, how could you see what happened before?" Lian'er pointed at Su Ce's face and cursed angrily. If her eyes could kill people, she really wanted to punish this little county king on the spot. .
"I saw it when I said I saw it. Is it possible that my majestic little county king is still lying?" Su Ce shrugged brazenly, and gave her a reassuring look when he looked at Ling Muer.
"Princess Lian'er was punished by the emperor for colluding with the crown prince to murder Ling Mu'er. The princess is angry but wants to seek revenge on Miss Ling. So the princess provoked me first, am I right?"
As if she was really there just now, Lian'er was startled when she spoke in such detail, she timidly stepped back and hid behind Concubine Shu.
"No! Who in the palace doesn't know that the little county king loves Ms. Ling? You hang around this girl all day, so naturally you want to protect her." Jiang is still hot, and Concubine Shu quickly found a way to deal with Su Ce. "You said you saw that I, Lian'er, was bullying Ling Mu'er, but then you can tell me who can testify for you, proving that what you said is true?"
"I can!"
Almost as soon as the words were finished, a mid-spirited voice came from behind in the distance.
Everyone was stunned when they looked back, only to see the Empress Empress striding forward with a group of servants.
"It's over." Ling Muer rolled her eyes in her heart.
Concubine Shu didn't expect the queen to appear suddenly, and she was afraid that she would speak for Ling Muer, so she hurriedly brought Lianer to the ground, "My concubine greets my sister, sister, you must make decisions for Lianer, look Lian'er's neck was cut by this girl, if I hadn't arrived just in time, my Lian'er would be separated from me forever."
Su Ce didn't kneel down, but greeted her, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, you know, the dagger on the ground is still Princess Lian'er's sword. Ling Muer, as a pauper, cannot carry a weapon when she enters the palace. The princess provokes first."
"No, it's not me, empress, trust Lian'er, this dagger is not mine!" Lian'er hurriedly raised her head and looked at the queen nervously.
Several people present glanced at me and said a word, but Ling Mu'er stood there indifferently, with a high-hanging posture that had nothing to do with herself.
The queen looked back and met Ling Mu'er, "What do you have to say?" Hua Luo winked at her.
Ling Muer fixed her eyes on the queen with a pair of jewel-like eyes, and quickly understood her voice.
The queen wanted her to give up the woman in the deserted courtyard of the county prince's mansion, but she was a doctor, and saving people was her bounden duty. Besides, she is innocent in this matter, and she believes that justice is at ease.
"Your Majesty is aware of the details, and the women of the people believe that your Majesty has wronged a good man."
Does this mean that no quid pro quo?
The queen nodded slightly, then turned around, "Just now I saw Ling Mu'er trying to cheat on Princess Lian'er from a distance, and the wound on Princess Lian'er's neck is a good proof."
Concubine Shu and Lian'er were startled, obviously they didn't expect the empress to help them.
Su Ce was in a hurry, "Ma'am..."
"What? Could it be true what I saw with my own eyes?" She turned her head and gave the Imperial Army a look, "What are you still doing? It is a heinous crime to assassinate the princess in the palace, so take her down and put her in the prison!"
"Ma'am..."
Su Ce protected Ling Muer behind him, but unfortunately the queen brought so many people, seeing that he was about to make a move, Ling Muer hurriedly said, "Little prince, I am innocent, I believe the emperor will know clearly, this is the queen, you Don't make useless sacrifices for me."
According to Su Ce's martial arts, taking her away by force has an 80% chance of winning, but he quickly understood Ling Muer's meaning.
By the way, Ling Mu'er was summoned by the emperor to enter the palace, so this matter can only be resolved with the emperor.
"The empress has already spoken, why are you still standing there, take this bitch away!"
Seeing that the Imperial Forest Army was still not moving, Lian'er held a chicken feather as an arrow, with a smug expression on her face.
In the prison.
Ling Mu'er was forced to change into a white prison uniform, and occasionally a few mice ran by in the damp and dark cell, but she sat on the grass calmly, as if she was meditating, or fell asleep.
The empress stood at the corner and watched her for a long time, and when she found that she was not afraid at all, the corners of her mouth twitched angrily.
"Ling Mu'er, do you know that as long as you obeyed my wishes just now, you would not end up here. You saved my life, and I don't want to make things difficult for you." The queen's eyes were sharp, "I will give you one more Chances are, you know what the answer I'm looking for."
Ling Mu'er slowly opened her eyes, but closed them again quickly, her voice was calm and calm, and she didn't take being in the dungeon seriously at all.
"Your Majesty, please go back, the dungeon is damp and there are rats, it will be bad if your shoes are dirty."
"You don't have to drink a toast, but I want to see how long you can last!"
The queen flung her sleeves and left angrily, while the servants outside the dungeon waited respectfully with a bamboo frame.
"What are you looking at? Throw everything in it, I don't believe that she is not afraid of a little girl."
Even so, the queen still had a sliver of hope for Ling Muer, "Find someone to keep an eye on, and if she begs for mercy, notify me as soon as possible."
"It's the empress." The servant took the order and walked in immediately.
Ling Mu'er continued to hold her breath, and vaguely heard some strange voices. When she raised her eyes casually, a tongue suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. She instinctively retreated, but there was no fear in her eyes.
At a speed invisible to the naked eye, she quickly spilled some kind of white powder, and the poisonous snake lost its eyesight and fainted.
Immediately afterwards, all kinds of cuties came one after another.
Rats, cockroaches, and even frogs.
Thinking back when she was secretly trained in an even harsher and worse environment than this, she endured it, what is this?
Ling Muer couldn't help laughing out loud, it was really hard for them to find these things in this season.
