The princess was unprepared, and her heart was full of surprise, but she was silent on the surface.

The princess stood up solemnly, her gaze swept over everyone's faces, did not pause, and finally stopped at the dragon king, but she seemed to turn a blind eye, she knew what the dragon king wanted to hear, and knew the real purpose of his move.

It was a test, though it was a little too early for her, and she had to make a decision to show her loyalty and stand to the Dragon King.

"Yesterday night. She said, in a calm tone with dignity of her own, much more credible than the three previous witnesses, and no one doubted or dared to doubt her words, "I saw someone sneaking out of the palace, two people. ”

The princess's testimony is only one sentence, which has caused gossip and speculation, and everyone does not understand what the princess wants to prove in this sentence.

Gu Shenwei nodded slightly to Princess Chong, showing respect and support, and turned to the mother-in-law again.

The mother-in-law was almost squatting on the ground, and she didn't have the slightest confidence in what she was going to say.

"Have you thought about it?Tell everyone, why did you leave the palace maid who was pregnant with the son of the stone king and run out for help?"

"I—I'm scared, I'm so scared, my brain is ......"

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid...... Dragon King. When the mother-in-law said the last two words, her voice was as small as a mosquito.

"Be louder. But the dragon king did not give up.

"I'm afraid of the Dragon King. The mother-in-law tightly grabbed the placket of the maid ring beside her, as if she would fall down at any time.

"Afraid of me? You didn't see the murderer at the time, what are you afraid of me doing?"

The mother-in-law's ability to bear it was over, and in the preparation in advance, no one told her that she would be interrogated in such a detailed manner, and those smart people should have thought of this, "Ask him, ask him, he usually always says that the dragon king may come to murder a pregnant woman, and I am influenced by him......"

The thirst for the truth outweighed the anger in his heart, and all eyes inside and outside the hall were on the guard Juchi, who sat in his chair with his head hung down, as if he hadn't heard the words of his mother-in-law at all.

During the questioning, Gu Shenwei stared at Ju Chi most of the time, but at this time, he looked away, and didn't even continue to ask, he turned to the maid who had been trembling, and slowed down his tone, "I'll ask you a word, you can remember it well." ”

"Huh?" Yahuan softened, and the mother-in-law who was tugging at the hem of her clothes almost sat on the ground, "Yes, I ......"

"Are you sure that the person who died next to you is the pregnant woman you have been serving for the past few months?"

Gu Shenwei asked loudly, every word was very clear, even the crowd outside the line of sight could hear it, everyone crowded forward like a tide, and the guards guarding the gate were sweating profusely, barely maintaining the blockade line.

The panicked Yahuan obviously didn't understand the meaning of the Dragon King's question, and pondered for a long time before saying, "It's Begonia, so much blood, everywhere...... Ah, the face too, I ...... Actually, I didn't see her face, in fact...... But the fetus ...... How could it be ......"

Yahuan was completely confused, and her expression could arouse the audience's endless imagination more than her words.

Gu Shenwei nodded to the princess again, he was sorry for letting his queen stand for so long, but he only had a few words left to ask, "The queen saw that two people secretly left the palace, did she send someone to follow her so that she could find out the reason?"

This is the first time that the princess has learned the dragon king's style of doing things, and like many people around the dragon king, she doesn't like raids, and she hopes to get guidance in advance, even if it is a few hints, so that she will not be at a loss as she is now.

But she had to guess what the dragon king really thought, and this was also part of the test, an important part.

"Yes. Her heart was pounding nervously, but her tone was solemn and majestic, "I can't allow an unseemly conspiracy to appear in the palace, so I need to find out." ”

"Have you found out?"

"Got it checked. The princess became more and more sure that she had guessed the dragon king's mind, though she still knew nothing about the outcome.

"You found these two too?"

"Found it. ”

"Can you call them out?"

"Yes. ”

The princess felt that she had received a hint from the dragon king, so she looked up at the side door to the left of the council chamber, from where the witnesses had entered and exited.

"Bring them up. "The princess gave an order, not knowing if it really meant something.

The dragon king nodded at the princess for the third time, cordially, and with a hint of satisfaction, which meant that she could sit down, and the princess's task was completed.

The princess claimed to have seen two men sneak out of the palace, but only one person came in through the side door, a pregnant woman with a panicked face and unsteady standing on her feet.

Seeing her, the mother-in-law screamed and fainted to the ground, Yahuan screamed and almost fell, and then she called out the pregnant woman's name, "Begonia!"

Although Haitang is pregnant with the king's child, her identity is still that of a palace maid, and Yahuan is used to calling her by her name.

Whether it was the ministers and generals in the hall, or the crowd outside the hall, few people knew the pregnant palace maid, but at this time, they all stretched their necks and wanted to take a closer look.

This result was really beyond their expectations, the palace maid who had been assassinated was standing alive in front of them, who was the dead man, who was the one who fled the palace with the pregnant woman, and what was the purpose of all this?

It seems that only the dragon king can explain all this, he knows everything and can do everything, and all conspiracies cannot escape his eyes.

Gu Shen was looking forward to this effect, and when he felt that it was almost over, he waved his hand, walked out of the two maids, and slowly retreated with Haitang.

"Send her to the Stone King, and ask the Stone King to identify herself. Gu Shenwei's words were for the audience, the palace maid has the blood of the king, her identity is special, and she cannot be interrogated in public, and King Shi himself is not suitable to appear on this occasion.

But the mystery is still not solved.

Juchi couldn't sit still in his chair any longer, coughed, and was about to speak.

The dragon king stood beside him, reaching out and pressing it on his shoulder, as if not noticing that it was a living person, but Juchi understood the meaning and shut up in confusion.

The dragon king did not care about the curiosity of the audience at all, as if everything had fallen into place, and slowly walked back to his place behind the table and sat down.

There was silence all around, and even the guards guarding the door, while blocking the crowd, couldn't help but look back frequently, wondering what the Dragon King was going to do next.

Long Chuanyun once again served as the spokesman of the Dragon King, this time full of confidence, and his voice was much louder, "Xuan Shangguan Fei." ”

Shangguan Fei came in through the side door and bowed respectfully to the Dragon King and Queen.

Someone knew him, and immediately pointed out to the people around him, the Dubu King's own son was loyal to the Dragon King, which in itself was a strange thing worth talking about.

"Shangguan Fei, tell me your duty. Long Chuanyun was very clear about the next questioning, among all the people, he was the only one who had received instructions from the Dragon King in advance, although it was not much, but it was enough for him to grasp the general context of the development of events.

"I am ordered by the Dragon King to bring people to protect the queen. ”

The princess's body trembled slightly, she only knew that the dragon king had transferred three female guards, but she didn't know that she had sent others to protect her.

"Tell me about what happened last night. ”

Shangguan Fei still bowed to the Dragon King and his wife, and said loudly: "Around the third watch in the evening, the queen sent someone to tell me that she inadvertently saw two people sneakily leaving the palace and ordered me to investigate. The two had disappeared, and I didn't give up and spent the whole day looking for clues. Almost two hours ago, I found out the whereabouts of the two men, and found that they were a man and a woman, the man disguised as a guard, and held the pregnant woman hostage, so I led someone to rescue the woman and kill the captor. ”

"Who is the pregnant woman you saved?"

"She claimed to be Haitang, a maid of the court, eight months pregnant, and was kidnapped last night, and we immediately sent her to the palace and reported the situation to the queen, who ordered us to stand outside the hall. ”

The princess is not used to being noticed by so many people, and only she knows that the part about her in Shangguan Fei's words is all lies, but her demeanor and expression are impeccable, and she is not inferior to any queen of the Western Regions.

More and more people suddenly realized, and countless strange speculations sprung up in everyone's minds, and everyone wanted to share them with others, but as a result, you were talking and buzzing, and no one could hear what the other person was saying.

Long Chuanyun raised his voice, "The palace is heavily guarded, and only one person can kidnap the palace maid who is protected?"

Begonia said that he had an internal response. ”

"Who should be inside?"

The guard Ju Chi writhed uneasily again, but Shangguan Fei's finger was not him, "It's her, the midwife, who colluded with the people of Jinpeng Castle to kidnap Begonia, steal beams and change pillars, and use another pregnant woman to pretend to be, brutally kill her, and frame her to the Dragon King." ”

The noise almost lifted the roof, and the ministers and generals who were watching could not help but exchange views with each other, and the crowd outside was even more chaotic, and there were already several disputes between people outside the palace in order to go one step further.

Among all of them, the most fierce reaction was the midwife, who had already fainted to the ground, but suddenly jumped up, "Nonsense, nonsense, I didn't collude...... I'm not...... He made me do it, and he gave me the money and told me......"

The mother-in-law defended in a panic, but it was tantamount to not admitting herself, and in the noise, few people could hear what she was saying, and two guards came in through the side door, set up the limp prisoner, and escorted him out of the council room.

Shangguan Fei wanted to carry out his mission to the end, so he continued loudly: "The assassination incident created by Jinpeng Fort is to provoke the relationship between the Shi Kingdom and the Dragon King, and then take advantage of the chaos to suppress the territory, and then push out the pregnant palace maid and let her child be a puppet king......"

And who could be more credible than the son of the Dubu King to accuse Jinpeng Castle? Even if this is a rebellious son, and his words are supported by a series of evidence, and most importantly, that Begonia is not dead, which is more convincing than all the facts.

It was the king of Shiguo who turned this evidence into ironclad evidence, he sent his cronies and eunuchs, and announced in public that the palace maid who was sent in was Begonia, pregnant with the king's child, and the eunuch expressed his deep gratitude to the dragon king and queen on behalf of the king of stone, and many people knelt down and no longer had any doubts about the dragon king.

The audience will be evacuated, and most of them will stay up all night, waking up friends and relatives who have not been well informed and telling the story of the council hall over and over again.

The ministers and generals left convinced, and at the same time a little uneasy, and before leaving, they bowed to the dragon king in the most humble manner, hoping to prove by all means that they had nothing to do with the conspiracy of Jinpeng Castle.

Only two men walked out of the chamber with a series of doubts.

The guards Juchi and the princess knew that they would soon be summoned again by the Dragon King.
