After hearing what the prince said, Xiaotang knelt down on the ground with a plop.
"Your Highness, please calm down. There must be a misunderstanding about this matter. My mother-in-law will not steal anything. Besides, the person who was the queen came out of the palace just now to meet my mother-in-law. It was he who took us into the Anning Palace. Everything in the Anning Palace Everyone saw it, how can we say it was my mother-in-law who broke in?"
Compared to Xiaotang's anxiety, Liu Shengsheng understood everything in an instant.
She was plotted against.
If she guessed correctly, the guards who called her into the palace just now were arranged by the prince.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Shengsheng finished thinking this, the guard just now was escorted up.
"Is this the person you are talking about? He is not from my mother's family. He is from your Cang Prince's Palace, right?"
Nan Tian stared coldly at the man who was being escorted up, "Tell me, why did you bring the princess to Anning Palace? Do you have ulterior motives, or..."
Before Nan Tian could finish speaking, the guard suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I didn't steal the Queen's things. I followed the Princess into the palace. It was the Princess who said she wanted to see the Queen if I had something to do, so..."
"Nonsense! You were clearly the one who came here to say that the queen wanted to see my wife, and it was you who brought us into the palace. How could you confuse right and wrong?"
Xiaotang retorted excitedly.
But he said: "The Queen didn't make an appointment with you at all, how could I dare to pretend to convey Feng's wishes? At first I escorted you into the palace, then I followed you out of the palace, and then you took me into the palace... "
"You are talking nonsense! Your Highness, this person is talking nonsense!"
Xiaotang explained excitedly, and then said: "My mother-in-law has left the palace, how could she come back? Besides, my mother-in-law is not so bold to break into the Anning Palace. If he hadn't led the way, how could we have traveled unimpeded?" Enter the Peace Palace? This man is lying at first glance. Your Highness the Crown Prince cannot believe him. He must have been instructed by someone to deliberately slander my mother-in-law!"
"The emperor's aunt is Princess Cang. Who dares to stop her from entering the palace? Everyone in Anning Palace knows the princess, so naturally they can't stop her. Even if she enters Anning Palace alone, she will still be able to pass without hindrance. Why does she need others to lead the way? "
Nan Tian looked at Liu Shengsheng coldly, "Princess, don't think that just finding a guard can take the blame for you. Taking advantage of the queen's sleep, she secretly broke into the Anning Palace and stole the queen's treasure. It is an unforgivable crime. Anyone who comes will be punished immediately. She was imprisoned in the sky prison to wait for the fate of her mother!"
Xiaotang still wanted to explain, but Liu Shengsheng shook her head at her.
"People are deliberately slandering us. No matter how much you say, they won't listen."
Xiaotang was impatient, "Madam, this person is not from our Prince Cang's Palace at all. His one-sided words are not enough to convict us. I will go back to find the prince now, and I must ask him to give you justice!"
"Do you think you can leave? Since you are accompanying the princess to the Ning Ning Palace, it is possible for you to steal things. Someone, please arrest this little maid as well and throw her into the sky prison!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two guards immediately grabbed Xiaotang, and Liu Shengsheng was also caught tightly.
Nan Tian said coldly and arrogantly: "Don't worry, the prince will personally go over to explain the situation to the emperor's uncle, and the queen mother will also find out this matter personally. If you didn't steal the thing, you will naturally be let out, but if it was really you who stole it, , even the emperor’s uncle can’t protect you.”
Liu Shengsheng struggled twice, but couldn't get away at all.
If they resisted forcefully, they would probably be able to escape. After all, there were not many people surrounding them.
But if he really resisted forcefully, wouldn't that prove his guilt?
At that time, I really couldn’t argue.
No wonder I didn't see the Queen even after waiting for a long time. It turned out to be a conspiracy from the beginning.
They probably wanted me to wait there for a long time, and then come out to catch them and accuse me of stealing...
As a result, he rescued the princess midway and even gave them some words.
The more he thought about it, the more Liu Shengsheng realized that
Something was wrong, the current situation was too bad, how should she save herself?
Thinking about it, Liu Shengsheng said: "I still don't know what treasure the Queen has lost, which makes you mobilize so many people. No matter what, I am still a princess, so throwing her into a prison is too much, right?"
Nan Tian sneered, "You stole the queen's phoenix seal. This is a capital crime. Just being thrown into the sky prison is already an advantage for you."
As soon as these words came out, Xiaotang turned pale with fright.
"It's not us! We didn't steal anything at all! Why did my mother-in-law steal the Phoenix Seal so well? That thing is of no use to us!"
"How could it be useless? Losing the Phoenix Seal is a serious crime. If you two thieves hadn't been caught, my mother would have been the one who got into trouble from now on! It's a joke that we slandered you one by one. Could it be that my mother would use her own Is it safe to slander you?"
"If you haven't stolen it, you haven't stolen it. We don't have the Phoenix Seal on us at all. If the prince doesn't believe it, he can search us!"
Xiaotang's tone was full of panic, but Nan Tian said: "You all stole the things and left. Who knows where you hid the things? What else can be found in the search now? Hold on!"
Xiaotang kept explaining, but Nantian didn't listen at all, and Liu Shengsheng didn't explain a word. She knew that explanations were useless after she understood everything.
Although he didn't understand why the queen and the prince wanted to slander him, since they teamed up to deal with him, he would definitely not be able to leave today and could only let them take him to the prison.
And the news quickly spread throughout the palace.
In the imperial study room.
Nan Xin rushed in with a weak look on her face, "Princess is not a person who steals things. There must be a misunderstanding about this matter!"
As soon as she entered, she saw Nan Luochen, who also had a serious face.
"Father, although Auntie Huang is a shameless person, she probably won't be able to do something like steal the Phoenix Seal. There's no use for her to do that..."
"Yes, Father! She saved me just now. If she really stole something, shouldn't she run out immediately? How could anyone steal something and come here to save someone? There must be a misunderstanding!"
Nan Gongcheng had a headache.
"Okay, you two, please calm down for a while. The queen has already told me about the situation. Princess Cang broke into the Anning Palace inexplicably and then came out in a hurry. It is indeed difficult to explain, but she is your uncle's person after all. , the Queen will not do anything to her, she will only interrogate her carefully."
Nan Xin said: "Why did you break in for no reason? She said that the queen mother asked her to meet her, and then she came out in a hurry. It must be because she heard that something happened to me! I think there must be a conspiracy in this matter. , someone must have deliberately lured her there. Besides, even if the Queen Mother sleeps again, there will always be someone to report when she goes in, right? With so many people there, how could she steal the Phoenix Seal? Could it be that the Queen Mother's Phoenix Seal Did you leave it at the gate for others to take?"
"Insolent! How can you say such things about your mother?"
Nan Gongcheng spoke coldly and said with a headache: "This matter has nothing to do with you two. The queen will interrogate it personally, and I will figure out the ins and outs of the matter. Go down."
"..."
