"Your Majesty, this is a woman disguised as a man. We wanted to make him stop and check, but she ran away without saying a word, so we kept chasing her."
The beaten Jin Yiwei covered his face with some grievance, pointed at Zhao Shuangshuang and said.
Uh-huh!
"ah!"
Just after he finished speaking, Hu Yunqing chopped off one of his fingers.
"Is this person my wife and someone you can check at will? Who sent you here?"
Hu Yunqing sensed something was wrong. Even though Zhao Shuangshuang was disguised as a man, it was impossible for him to be seen through so easily. He pointed a knife at the people in front of him and asked.
"I, we."
Just after one finger was cut off, the others panicked, and when they were about to speak, a group of royal guards came over.
"King Dingbei, what are you doing?"
Xiao San looked at it with a smile, and asked Hu Yunqing with some doubts.
"Xiao San, did I say in the palace that if you dare to mess with me again, I won't give you a whip!"
Seeing Xiao San coming over, Hu Yunqing sneered. As expected, he drew a knife in front of his face and said.
Upon hearing Hu Yunqing mention the whip, Xiao San's face couldn't help but twitch, and it still hurts a little.
"What did the prince say? We, the Jinyi Guards, are to interrogate everyone. This person is disguised as a man. According to the rules, we have the obligation to stop him!"
Seeing Hu Yunqing's gestures, Xiao San was also afraid that Hu Yunqing would make a sudden move like last time. He quickly took two steps back and reached a safe distance. Even if Hu Yunqing made a sudden move, he could easily avoid it.
"Xiao San, do you want to die? This is our princess!"
Xiao Yi also led the guards and bodyguards in the palace, walked out of the palace with knives, came to Hu Yunqing's side, and reminded Xiao San.
"Princess, I'm really sorry. It's because the people below don't understand the rules."
"Get out of here now!"
After hearing what Xiao Yi said, Xiao San looked at Zhao Shuangshuang again, quickly smiled and saluted, glanced at the trash on the ground and said.
"yes."
Several people were relieved and hurriedly left the place.
"Princess, I seem to have seen you coming out of a courtyard today. That courtyard used to be Hong Tao's residence. We have been watching you for a long time. When we were about to put out a long line to catch a big fish, why did we suddenly see you? You were a little sneaky. Did you go in?"
"Do you need to ask me where my princess is going?"
Zhao Shuangshuang wanted to answer, but Hu Yunqing grabbed his arm with his hand. Hu Yunqing looked at Xiao San and asked.
"Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me. This matter is not trivial. Hong Tao has surrendered to Jiannu. He is a traitor to our Ming Dynasty. The princess went to that courtyard. Shouldn't we ask about the situation?"
Xiao San is not timid at all at this moment. Now he takes the initiative. As long as Zhao Shuangshuang has been to this point, even Hu Yunqing can't say anything.
Everyone present felt trouble. Except for Zhao Shuangshuang, no one knew why she went to that place.
Just when Zhao Shuangshuang was about to admit it, Hu Yunqing took the lead and said to Xiao San.
"I asked him to go."
Zhao Shuangshuang was held by Hu Yunqing's hand and looked at Hu Yunqing's profile, feeling a little lost for a moment.
Colluding with the slave builders was a capital crime for the nine clans in the Ming Dynasty. I originally wanted to take the responsibility myself. Since I was alone anyway, I could avoid involving Hu Yunqing.
What he didn't expect was that Hu Yunqing was all blocking him.
"My lord, are you kidding me?"
After hearing Hu Yunqing's words, Xiao San was a little surprised. He thought about many consequences, and even thought that Hu Yunqing would take action, and he had already arranged the people.
He also didn't expect that Hu Yunqing would actually take the responsibility. After all, Hu Yunqing's identity was there. Xiao San was also a little afraid to act rashly and wanted Hu Yunqing to take back what he just said.
"I'm not joking, what I said is true. I asked my wife to get close to Hong Tao to find out the situation."
"Do you think I believe it? We'd better trouble the prince to come with us about this matter!"
After listening to Hu Yunqing's clumsy lie, Xiao San would be a fool if he believed it. He clapped his hands and said.
All the Jinyi guards behind him drew their swords and rushed forward.
"What?"
When Juan and others saw the Jin Yiwei making moves, they all took out their weapons. The two sides were about to start a conflict.
"Hey, this is really exciting."
Just when the two parties refused to give in to each other, a sharp voice sounded.
"Eunuch He."
Xiao San turned his head following the voice, saw Xiao Hezi coming next to His Majesty, and quickly raised his hands in salute.
Hu Yunqing on the other side did not move at all and still stood where he was.
"Put away all the knives!"
Xiao Hezi looked at everyone, pulled out the knife, and said loudly with some dissatisfaction.
"receive!"
Xiao San heard what Eunuch He had said, so naturally he couldn't lose face and signaled his people to put away their knives.
"Your Majesty, if you do this, I will not read out the imperial edict."
Seeing that Hu Yunqing didn't move at all, Xiao Hezi raised the imperial edict in his hand and said.
"receive."
Looking at the imperial edict in Xiao Hezi's hand, he realized that it was what he had been waiting for. He couldn't ignore the overall situation and quickly put the knife away.
Xiao San quickly stepped forward and went through the whole thing, including some exaggerations.
"Well, I understand, Duke Xiao. I will write a final summary of what happened today and submit it to His Majesty, so that His Majesty can make a decision."
After hearing what happened, Xiao Hezi didn't believe that Hu Yunqing was a collaborator. This was a person who had contributed to the Ming Dynasty. Anyone could do it, but Hu Yunqing couldn't do it.
Looking at Xiao Yi's serious expression, he couldn't say much, so he finally thought of a way to say it.
This is the only way to suspend the conflict between the two parties so that you can read the imperial edict.
"okay, I get it."
Xiao San knew that he had no choice but to give Eunuch He a face and left with his people.
"This is the imperial decree given to you by His Majesty, and it will be read to everyone tomorrow."
After Xiao San left, Xiao Hezi took out the imperial edict handed over by Chongzhen and said.
"Well, this is what I want. You can go to the Zhao Prison of Jinyiwei to get someone."
Looking at the contents of the imperial edict, Hu Yunqing was very satisfied, put the imperial edict away and said to Eunuch He.
"Zhao Prison? Do you think King Xianghuai is in Zhao Prison?"
Xiao Hezi was still happy when he heard that he could lead people. Suddenly he felt something was wrong and asked Hu Yunqing in shock.
