After hearing His Highness Prince Ning's words, Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing fell to their knees before they had time to react.
"Your Highness, I don't know what you mean. I ask myself that I have always done my duty and have not exceeded the rules." .”
"Are you pretending to be confused because you understand? In your heart, you are just like Ming Jing'er. Are you pretending to be stupid here like me?" His Highness Prince Ning sneered with a straight face, "Who have you been interacting with recently? In your heart No points? Who are you surrounded by, and you have no points in your heart? Knowing that this king is going to live in Wudinghou Mansion, are you very panicked? Are you afraid that I will break your little secret? "
"Your Highness, although you hold a high and powerful position, you cannot slander people so casually." People from the Mansion and the Shen Family Army, your Highness, do you suspect that the people here are disloyal? Your Highness, although this is the first time I have met you and I am not that familiar with you, you can't slander others with your mouth, right?" He took a deep breath and said, "If you have evidence to prove that I am guilty, then please show it, otherwise, don't talk nonsense. Although I am young, I am not a person who is willing to be manipulated and charged with any crime."
"Xiaotian, don't talk like that!"
"It doesn't matter. The attitude is not important. What is important is the final result, isn't it? Lord Xue, do you want evidence?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"No problem, I can completely satisfy you." His Highness Prince Ning glanced at Jin Jing, took out the letter from his arms and asked him to come and get it, "Take a look, you two can read it. Mr. Jin is a military advisor, I also help Mr. Xue to advise him on whether he should resist or admit it when encountering such a thing!"
Jin Jing got the letter, looked at His Highness Prince Ning, knelt down and walked back to Xue Ruitian, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, and read it carefully word by word.
When they first read it, neither of them had any reaction, as if they were reading someone else's letter. But the further they read, the more frightened they became, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads. It didn't take long for them to... The ticks fell down.
“Your Highness!” , they are all false and I have no knowledge of them. I would like to ask Your Highness to find out the truth and clear my name, as well as my father and my mother." He kowtowed to His Highness Prince Ning, "Your Highness has also been wronged before. I believe that Your Highness can I understand your situation at this moment, and I believe that His Highness will not do anything to wrong others."
"Unjustly accused?" His Highness Prince Ning pointed to the letter, "It is clearly written in black and white. The Xue family has an ambiguous relationship with the Qinglian Sect. Do you want to deny it? In other words, do you want to deny it for your family? ? Mr. Xue, you should know that this dynasty is absolutely intolerant to the Qinglian Sect. Anyone who has anything to do with the Qinglian Sect will rather kill by mistake than let go. Even if you are as noble as the Empress Dowager, They are all the same. Do you think your Xue family can be more noble than the Empress Dowager?"
"That's not what I mean. What I mean is that I do not agree with the content of this letter. Your Highness cannot judge the Xue family guilty just based on this one-sided statement from an unknown source." Xue Ruitian raised his head and did not retreat at all, " Unless Your Highness can have other evidence to prove this, this will be slander to me."
"Xiaotian, there is other evidence, it should be... the mother-in-law of the Xue family." Jin Jing knelt beside Xue Ruitian. When she saw him turning his head to look at her, she sighed softly, "That person suddenly became seriously ill. , the empress who was in danger but somehow recovered, should be the insider."
"Xiaojing, you..." Xue Ruitian opened his eyes in surprise, "Do you believe what this letter says?"
"Yeah!" Jin Jing nodded lightly. Seeing that Xue Ruitian was in a hurry, she quickly comforted her, "Don't be anxious, listen to me slowly. It's not that I believe what is said here, but..." He glanced at Prince Ning Your Highness, "I know something you don't."
"What do you know that I don't know?" Xue Ruitian reached out and grabbed Jin Jing's collar, "What on earth are you going to do?"
"I told you, don't worry. I didn't ask for this intentionally. Aunt Xue said it accidentally." Seeing Xue Ruitian's red eyes, Jin Jing sighed again, "Don't you know that your grandmother, grandmother, Great-grandmother and the others all believe in the Green Lotus Sect?"
"Don't talk nonsense, how could they..." Xue Ruitian looked at Jin Jing, and then at His Highness Prince Ning with a serious expression. When he saw their reactions, he knew that this matter was true, and he collapsed immediately. On the ground, "No, it's impossible, I...I never knew."
"Because Aunt Xue hid it very well." Jin Jing patted Xue Ruitian on the shoulder, "She just said casually that when she was young, she seemed to be an outlier in the family. Others would often kneel in the Buddhist hall for several nights. , is extremely devout, and often goes to the temple to participate in Dharma gatherings and so on, which she has never been to. Her behavior is very unsociable for the female relatives in the family. "
"Why did mother never tell me?"
"Because during that time, I fell into a strange circle. You know, I am not as interested in practicing kung fu as you are, and I am not as curious as Miaomiao about various herbs, flowers, and medical skills. , I was very confused at that time, but Aunt Xue saw it out, and she came to enlighten me. Don’t compare with others, everyone is unique. As a result, enlightening, enlightening, I said this." Jin Jing chuckled lightly, "She said that she originally thought that after getting married to Uncle Xue, she would be able to escape from the obsessed people in the family, but she didn't expect that the Xue family's situation would be similar. Even the empress who had married into the palace was also right. I am obsessed with worshiping Buddha.”
"However, my mother only said that she is obsessed with worshiping Buddha, but how can you be sure that it must be the Green Lotus Sect? This is unreasonable!"
"Because of the incident involving the Empress Dowager and the Xue family, I remembered what Aunt Xue said to me and went to check the files about the Qinglian Sect." Jin Jing sighed, "You also know that in our house The files are very complete and easy to find. At that time, the Qinglian Sect changed its name and became popular in Xijing, which is consistent with what Aunt Xue said. But Your Highness..." He looked at His Highness Prince Ning, "After we were born, the Qinglian Sect disappeared for many years, and it only appeared now. The Marquis knew nothing about it. It would be completely inappropriate for His Highness to punish the Marquis for the sins of his ancestors. Your Highness, please think twice.”
