Wuji lowered his head and listened to the witnesses, "The villain was on duty at the Prime Minister's Mansion. When the incident happened that day, he was on duty. The Prime Minister summoned several adults to discuss the matter late at night. The princess ran in and scolded After talking for a while, the villain heard that Princess Yi said that the Prime Minister had committed corruption, had liaison with foreign enemies, formed cliques for personal gain, and was going to harm the people of the world. The Prime Minister was very angry and spread the word that the villain wanted to drag the princess out. In anger, the princess actually ordered He picked up the fire oil that he had prepared long ago and shouted sadly, since my father is stubborn, I will kill my relatives and eliminate harm for the people. Just like that, the fire was lit, and the fire was very strong. The villain was still at the door at this time. , I was too timid to go in to save people because I was afraid of death, and the fire was so big that I really couldn’t get in.”
The next people said basically the same thing when they testified, saying that Princess Yi did indeed say such things at that time.
Taifu Lu was furious when he heard this, "That's nonsense. When Leng Zhenhuan's accident happened, that's not what you heard at all. It was Leng Zhenhuan who sent her to murder His Highness the Crown Prince. After the murder, he did not keep his promise and send her to the hospital." Give her what she deserves, you dare to lie in court, I think you are tired of living."
Nangong Yitian said coldly: "Why is Taifu so excited? Such words came out that day because someone was spreading rumors."
"Who spread the rumors? Investigate thoroughly!"
Nangong Yitian's eyes were cold, "The person who spread the rumors is exactly..."
"It's the Ai family!" The Empress Dowager immediately intercepted his words, "It was the Ai family who ordered people to spread it like this. Neither the prince nor the emperor knew it, so they believed the rumors spread by the Ai family."
Nangong Yitian's eyes tightened, "Royal Grandmother."
He should have been the one who spread the rumors. He had already prepared some words.
The Empress Dowager looked at him, "Prince, the Ai family doesn't want to hide anything from you anymore. It's because the Ai family doesn't like Leng Xiao or the Leng family, and they don't want anyone from the Leng family to become a hero of the court, so they ordered someone to Spreading rumors to slander Leng Xiao, Leng Xiao is not killing her father, she is just killing her relatives out of justice."
Mrs. Lu was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood, "Empress Dowager, you must not be accused of spreading rumors because of Leng Xiao."
The Empress Dowager said sternly: "Master, the Ai family is admitting their past mistakes. The Ai family should bear this infamy. The Ai family is old and does not want to have their conscience blamed all the time, and cannot bear to see the emperor's grandson being scolded because of her mother. Leng Xiao did nothing wrong, she even contributed to the court and the country, and it is really inappropriate for the Ai family to treat her like this."
"Mother, please stop talking about this..." Although the emperor felt sorry for Leng Xiao, his mother's lifelong wisdom could not be ruined like this.
"Emperor, decree to rehabilitate Leng Xiao." The Empress Dowager said with a serious look in her eyes. As soon as these words came out, no matter how much the ministers had any objections, they knew not to speak again.
However, Taifu Lu knelt down and argued stubbornly, "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, please think twice about the choice of Crown Princess."
Nangong Yitian's eyes were cold, "No matter how I think about it, there is only one Crown Princess that I recognize, and that is Leng Xiao. Moreover, I have the holy decree at hand, and I will choose the Crown Princess myself."
Taifu Lu suddenly said: "No matter what, Leng Xiao is dead. Even if she is the crown princess, she can still have a successor."
The Queen Mother said: "Leng Xiao is not dead."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was shocked. Are you alive? How could he not die?
Even the emperor was shocked. Didn't Leng Xiao and Leng Zhenhuan die together three years ago?
