Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Chapter 236 Identity Suspicion

Yun Chang turned her head, and saw Jing Wenxi was wearing a red dress and a big cloak, standing at the gate of the imperial garden, her eyes seemed to glance over the crowd inadvertently, then she lifted her foot and walked in.

Didn't the prince already catch her? How could she appear here? Some doubts arose in her heart, but King Jing is not here now, and the hidden guard should be by King Jing's side. Yun Chang turned her head to look at Qianyin, wanting to ask Qianyin to ask King Jing what was going on, but suddenly Sensing a gaze from behind, Yun Chang turned around and saw Jing Wenxi looking at her with a smile, walking towards her.

Jing Wenxi watched, if she sent Qianyin to ask, it might attract Jing Wenxi's attention. Yun Chang thought about it for a while, then gave up the plan, and smiled at Jing Wenxi who was walking towards her, "I heard from Mrs. Jing that Miss Jing is recuperating at home, and I thought I wouldn't see Miss Jing today. Well, I didn't expect Miss Jing to come to the palace anyway."

Jing Wenxi didn't seem to understand the sarcasm in Yun Shang's words, so he calmly walked in front of Yun Shang, bowed his knees and saluted, "I've seen the princess."

Yun Chang quickly helped Jing Wenxi up, "Miss Jing is free."

Jing Wenxi's gaze fell on the swaddle in the hands of Madam Zheng next to Concubine Jin, "Is this the little prince? Isn't he really cute?" Jing Wenxi said, and then walked to Madam Zheng. In front of Mammy, she was about to reach out her hand to touch Chen Xi's face, but Madam Zheng took Chen Xi back and took two steps back, "The little prince is afraid of life, I'm afraid Miss Jing will start crying again if she touches her, and I can't be coaxed." .”

Jing Wenxi smiled, and casually withdrew his hand.

However, Yun Shang felt that something was not quite right. When Jing Wenxi saw Chen Xi just now, the hatred in his eyes was too obvious. But according to common sense, Chen Xi is just a child. When Jing Wenxi was in Laifeng Palace, Jing Wenxi tried to hurt Chen Xi in order to blackmail her through Chen Xi, but why, when she saw herself today, she lost her eyes. When they met each other, they had hateful and jealous eyes, but when they saw the morning sun, their hatred flourished.

Yun Shang pondered for a moment, then pulled Jing Wenxi with a smile and said, "Chen Xi has a bad temper now, and even my concubine dare not hug him easily, for fear that he will cry, that would be a shocking weeping ghost. Miss Jing Now that you're here, let's sit in the pavilion first, it's still early, and Miss Jing can also chat with the Madam or Miss who I know well on weekdays, and in about an hour, I can head to Penglai Island for a seat."

Jing Wenxi nodded, walked to the pavilion in the imperial garden and sat down. There were several people sitting in the pavilion who should be common friends with Jing Wenxi, but they were in Jing Wenxi's eyes. When walking towards them, he withdrew from the pavilion. Jing Wenxi didn't seem to notice it, and after sitting down, his eyes turned to the lake.

Yunshang paused slightly, and stumbled suddenly when walking up the steps of the pavilion. Yunshang heard exclamations from behind, "Princess, be careful."

The body was about to touch the ground, Yun Chang quickly grabbed Jing Wenxi's arm, and barely stood up with strength, but seemed a little shocked, and kept holding Jing Wenxi's hand without letting go.

Jing Wenxi frowned, and his eyes frequently fell on Yun Shang's hand on her arm.

Yun Chang stood firm, was stunned for a moment, then quickly let go of Jing Wenxi's hand, and smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, maybe there is ice on the ground, it's too slippery to stand firmly."

"Princess, you're being polite." Jing Wenxi frowned, but said politely.

Yunshang ordered someone to bring some pastries over, and moved the tea stove in to start making tea. Qian Yin hotted the teacup, put it on the small table that was moved, took the tea cake and mashed a small piece, Then put it in the tea stove and boil it.

Yun Chang looked at the flames jumping in the tea stove, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, she looked at Jing Wenxi's red dress, and fixed her eyes, "Miss Jing's dress today is a bit inappropriate, today is the queen of the father Today, except for the father and the concubine who is about to become the empress, no one else in this palace should wear the bright red clothes. This princess still has some clothes in this palace. If Miss Jing doesn’t dislike it, you might as well go Changing clothes in the palace before getting married?"

Jing Wenxi sneered, "The emperor has not issued such a decree, saying that no one else is allowed to wear clothes of this color today."

Hearing what Jing Wenxi said, Yun Chang didn't take it seriously, and smiled lightly. Since she didn't change it, she must have her purpose. She wanted to see what she wanted to do today .

There is nothing to talk about with Jing Wenxi Yunshang, she is sitting here just wanting to know what kind of tricks Jing Wenxi is playing, the two of them are sitting quietly, only hearing the sound of water boiling in the tea stove, gurgling. There was a small voice of discussion not far away, but it entered Yunshang's ears in a moderate manner.

"I heard that the concubine and the wicked evildoer have always been at odds. The evildoer wanted to seduce Prince Jing before, but the prince Jing and the concubine are deeply in love, so the evildoer did not fulfill his wish. Now that he has lost the position of queen, does it mean that he wants to embarrass the princess again?"

Seeing Jing Wenxi's throat move, Yun Chang snorted softly, and the smile on his face became colder and colder.

"The concubine has a beautiful appearance and a gentle temperament. She is polite and gentle to everyone, but Jing Wenxi can only be regarded as an upper-middle-class appearance, and she has a heart of snakes and scorpions. I heard that she wanted to murder the little prince before. If I were Prince Jing, I would definitely choose Concubine Jing."

"Miss Jing and Princess Huajing heard that they were best friends before, so it's no wonder that they have similar tastes, and Princess Huajing is very dissolute, and Jing Wenxi must not be much better." This is very blunt. Yes, Yun Shang chuckled, and naturally recognized that it was Wang Jinyan's voice.

Jing Wenxi didn't care, just sat quietly.

After Qianyin finished making tea and brewed two cups of tea, Yunshang said softly, "Miss Jing, please drink tea."

Jing Wenxi did not refuse, picked up the tea and blew away the froth in the cup, then took a small sip, frowned slightly, and put the teacup aside again.

Seeing this, Yunshang smiled slightly, stood up and said, "I'm still a little busy today, so Ms. Jing can drink tea here by herself. The snacks are all ready. If there is anything you want to eat, tell me Palace people can."

Jing Wenxi nodded, waved his hand indifferently, and then turned his gaze back to the lake.

Yun Chang walked out of the pavilion, and was pulled over by Wang Jinyan, "What do you have to say to that person? Didn't my brother say that Prime Minister Jing would definitely treat her as an abandoned son? How dare Prime Minister Jing let her in on such a big day?" Palace..."

Yun Shang chuckled lightly, took her hand and said, "There are eyes everywhere in this harem, do you think she is so bold that she dares to do something under everyone's noses?"

After that, Yunshang forgot about Jing Wenxi, but Wang Jinyan had been secretly paying attention to Jing Wenxi's movements, and talked to Yunshang from time to time.

"Look at her defiant appearance, those who don't know think she is the one who becomes the queen today." Wang Jinyan snorted, the dissatisfaction in her eyes was very obvious.

It's just that Jing Wenxi has been peacefully and peacefully, and has never done anything until the banquet on Penglai Island is over.

Everyone rested in the imperial garden for a while, and Concubine Jin took everyone to the Jinluan Hall to pay homage to the new queen.

"Princess, hasn't Princess Huajing already arrived in the imperial city? It stands to reason that she should come? Why didn't she show up?" Qianyin murmured in a low voice, and Yunshang smiled, "If you don't come, you won't come Well, one thing more is worse than one thing less."

When they arrived at the Jinluan Hall, the courtiers lined up in two rows and had already taken their seats. Concubine Jin led the harem concubines in front, followed by the women who had orders from the imperial court, and after that came the wives and ladies of various families. Three prostrations were performed in the hall, "I greet the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and greet the queen, the queen will live a thousand years ago."

"Pingshen." Emperor Ning's voice without the slightest emotion came down, echoing in the Golden Luan Hall, and it took a long time to stop completely.

Everyone got up quickly, Yun Chang raised her eyes, and saw Emperor Ning sitting on the dragon chair, wearing a red auspicious suit with a golden dragon embroidered on it, and Liu Qingya sitting next to Emperor Ning, also wearing a red dress, Embroidered with a phoenix spreading its wings, her makeup is dignified and her face is luxurious and graceful.

Yun Chang couldn't help being a little amazed. She was worried about whether Liu Qingya would be able to calm down the scene, but she didn't want to. The upper body of the phoenix suit and the phoenix crown made it a majestic appearance.

"Take a seat." Emperor Ning paused his eyes on Concubine Jin, then softened his voice and said softly.

Everyone walked to the seats at the back and sat down. Yun Shang also walked to the position behind King Jing and sat down on his knees. There was music playing, it was a song "Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Good Fortune". Yun Shang listened to the music, lowered her head, and raised her lips, "Jing Wenxi appeared."

Prince Jing was taken aback, and glanced around the hall for a while, and saw the red dress, frowned, and said in a low voice, "No, I locked her in a very firm place, she It is unlikely that I can escape, and I have never received a report from the hidden guard that she has escaped..."

When Yun Shang heard the words, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, and it slowly rippled on her face. Turning his eyes to Jing Kui, he seemed to have seen Jing Wenxi, his eyes were full of disbelief, and his complexion suddenly turned pale.

Xu Jingkui and King Jing's gazes were too conspicuous, and Emperor Ning followed suit, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and his voice was somewhat displeased, "Today is the Empress Dowager On the day of great joy, but someone appeared in a red dress, what crime should be!"

Everyone saw the red dress more or less, but because of the wrong time and place, they didn't speak. When they heard that Emperor Ning was suddenly angry, they all looked at Jing Wenxi.

Jing Wenxi was not in a hurry, stood up, walked into the hall, and bowed to Emperor Ning Yingying, "The emperor didn't make a decree saying that red clothes are not allowed to enter the palace today, but since the emperor is angry because of this, then the It's the daughter of the people who is wrong, and the daughter of the people knows it is wrong. It's just that the emperor was accused for wearing an inappropriate dress, so what about the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Emperor Ning looked at Jing Wenxi coldly, "The crime of deceiving the emperor should be punished, but so what if you ask, do you still want to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Yunshang looked at Jing Wenxi, but saw Jing Wenxi smiled slightly, and the smile was a little strange, "Naturally, the girl of the people did not commit the crime, but the girl of the people knows that someone in the hall has committed the crime of bullying." The king's crime, no, not only bullying the king, she also murdered the princess!"

princess? There was a bit of doubt in everyone's eyes, and they lowered their heads and whispered, "There are only two imperial daughters in Ningguo, and one is Princess Huajing, but she should not be regarded as an imperial daughter now, right? And I haven't heard that she is dead yet? Isn’t the other princess right here? How did the murder of the princess come about?”

"Nonsense!" Emperor Ning patted the armrest of the dragon chair suddenly, his eyes gradually condensed.

"Whether the Minnv is talking nonsense, the emperor just listen to the Minnv. The Minnv is going to expose a heinous person here today, and he is..." Jing Wenxi stood up abruptly, pointed at the hall one direction.

Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing at, and saw that she was pointing at Prince Jing.

"Is she crazy? Why do you say that Prince Jing murdered the princess?" Someone muttered softly.

"She was the one who murdered the princess! Concubine Jing!" Jing Wenxi's voice suddenly rose, and after echoing in the Golden Luan Hall for a long time, it gradually quieted down, but all kinds of voices rang out again, whispering, laughing, and surprised Yes, dismissive.

Jing Wenxi took two steps forward and knelt down, "Minnv has evidence, the current Princess Jing is not Princess Yunshang at all, Princess Yunshang was killed by her a year ago, and she replaced it, replacing Yunshang. Princess Shang returned to the palace and became Princess Yunshang and Concubine Jing, you were all deceived by her."

Yun Chang raised her eyebrows, staring at Jing Wenxi, an obscure light flashed in her eyes.

Everyone looked at Jing Wenxi as if they were looking at a lunatic, but Jing Wenxi still didn't give up, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the daughter of the people has witnesses. It proves that Princess Yunshang was killed a few days before returning to the palace last year." Killed, Minnv also got a self-portrait of Princess Yunshang before she died, although she resembles this fake princess to some extent, it is not her."

Emperor Ning showed some thoughtful expression, "Since you said you have witnesses, then bring them up for us to see."

Emperor Ning's voice sounded faintly, Concubine Jin frowned slightly, raised her eyes to look at Yunshang, saw that Yunshang's expression was calm and not worried at all, so she was relieved, but when her eyes fell on Emperor Ning, Cast a little disappointed.

Jing Wenxi smiled coldly, took out a scroll of paintings from his sleeve, raised his hands over his head, lowered his head and said, "This is a self-portrait painted by Princess Huiguo last year, and there is a small seal of Princess Huiguo on the painting. "

Emperor Ning motioned for Eunuch Zheng to pick it up and presented it to Emperor Ning. Emperor Ning opened it and looked at Yunshang, then put the painting aside without saying a word.

"The witness of the Minnv is outside the hall. It is a monk from Ningguo Temple." Jing Wenxi said in a low voice, with a bit of complacency in his voice.

Then the servant walked out of the Golden Luan Hall again, and went to bring in the people Jing Wenxi said, and they were indeed some bald monks.

Emperor Ning glanced lightly, then turned his head to look at Yunshang and asked, "Does Princess Jing recognize the monk kneeling in this hall?"

Yun Chang smiled and nodded, "I recognize them, they are monks in Ningguo Temple, two are sweeping monks, and two are firewood monks."

Emperor Ning nodded, looked at the four monks and said, "What evidence do you have to prove that Princess Jing is a fake Princess Huiguo, and where did the real Princess Huiguo go?"

The four monks looked at each other, and after a long while, only one person said, "Report to Your Majesty, the poor monk is a floor sweeper in the temple. Princess Huiguo came to Ningguo Temple eight years ago, and the courtyard where she lived has been cleaned by the poor monk. Princess Huiguo entered After the temple, I stayed in the house to copy the scriptures and rarely went out, so there was not much time for relief, and every time we met, the princess was covered with a veil, so many people in the temple had never seen the princess's face."

"It's just that the poor monk and these three senior brothers are exceptions. Because they have been waiting in the courtyard where the princess lives all year round, they occasionally see the princess without a veil. And the concubine Jing Wang in the palace is none other than Abbot Wuna. A friend of mine, who comes to stay in the temple for a few days every month, is familiar with us. Last year, after Princess Huiguo received the emperor's order to call her back to the palace, this Princess Jing came to the temple."

"At that time, we thought that the benefactor just came to stay for a few days as before, but that morning, the poor monk got up earlier, and saw a maid beside the benefactor dragging a sack from the princess's wing. He walked out of the sack, and there seemed to be something moving in the sack, and the poor monk was curious, so he followed. The maid dragged the sack and threw it into the valley behind the temple, and dug a hole to bury the sack .”

Yun Chang raised her eyes to look at Jing Wenxi's expression, but saw that her gaze was always on Yun Chang, with a bit of pleasure in her eyes. Yun Chang slightly hooked the corners of her lips, and continued to listen to the monk's raised voice.

"After watching the maid leave, the poor monk hurriedly removed the buried soil. When he opened the sack, he saw the princess curled up in the sack, no longer breathing."

All the people in the hall looked at Yun Chang with a little bit of searching. Although they didn't believe what Jing Wenxi said, it was just that the identity of the monk was confirmed by Yun Chang himself. A little hesitant.

"Oh?" Yun Shang said lightly, "Well, I kind of believe what this master said, but I don't know this master, since this princess is a fake princess, Moreover, the appearance is not the same as that of the princess in the temple, why did Abbot Wuna in your temple meet me countless times later, and never say that I am a fake?"

Everyone nodded secretly, that's right, Abbot Nawuna came to the imperial city a few days ago and exposed Jing Wenxi's identity as a monster who deceived the country, why didn't he say a word about Princess Jing being a fake princess? And the so-called witnesses that Jing Wenxi found were all unspeakable, they were all from sweeping monks and firewood monks, I'm afraid they were bought deliberately. \u003c
