If you really did something, you wouldn't be wronged at all, but if you don't do anything, this huge scapegoat is simply unjust.
Mrs. Pei turned to Tang Ning and said urgently: "Yiyang County Master, don't believe the false accusations made by the fourth prince and concubine. Madam Bai and I really just met the fourth prince and concubine by chance. We didn't do anything..."
"Accidental? There are so many accidents in such a large Lingyun Temple. Moreover, the Dharma conference was not over when I left. I left early because I wanted to clear my suspicions. In order to avoid the side roads taken by others, what about you? You just happened to follow the same path as me?"
Mrs. Pei was having a hard time explaining herself, and the second girl Bai next to her was even more aggrieved.
"Mrs. Pei and I also accidentally got our clothes wet during the Dharma gathering, and we followed someone after we saw someone sneaking towards that direction."
"Ah!"
Facing their explanation, the fourth princess just sneered, full of mockery.
The people around him were silent when they heard this "extremely lame" excuse.
Mrs. Pei and the others panicked and turned around to tell Tang Ning.
Tang Ning's face was extremely ugly, and even his words were a little hoarse: "You don't need to tell me so much. Whether or not we have done it will be decided by the Privy Council."
"I have never offended anyone, and I just wanted to live quietly with my aunt, but I didn't expect..."
Her eyes were red, and she seemed to be holding back and angry.
"Commander Cang, this matter involves the prince and involves so many people. It is beyond our ability to deal with it. Please Commander Cang, please report the matter to your majesty and let your majesty handle it."
Cang Lang nodded: "Don't worry, County Lord, I will definitely inform your Majesty of tonight's events, and the Governor will never let go of those who dare to cause trouble in the Buddhist temple."
Mrs. Fu said from the side: "This matter is too involved, and I don't know if there are other plans behind it. It will inevitably lead to long nights and many dreams. Commander Cang should report it to the Holy Majesty as soon as possible."
"Mrs. Fu is right."
Cang Lang waved his hand: "Come here, lock up all the people involved in tonight's case and escort them back to Beijing immediately."
"How dare you?!" The fourth prince's mouth was full of blood and he looked shocked and angry.
Cang Lang raised his eyes and said, "The Privy Council is the sharp sword in your Majesty's hands. He never dares to do anything. The fourth prince had better calm down. Otherwise, don't blame me for being sorry."
"Take them away!"
The black-armored guards all came forward. The fourth prince faced the man who came forward aggressively with a knife. He tried to struggle but was restrained. When he cursed angrily, he was blocked directly.
In addition to the fourth prince, the fourth prince's concubine, and the eldest princess Leyang, a large area of space surrounded Mrs. Pei and the second lady Bai in the crowd. Others avoided them. When the black-armored guard rushed to get them, The two of them screamed that they were wronged, and in just a few moments they followed in the footsteps of the Fourth Prince.
The night outside was dark, and the wind suddenly started blowing in the mountains.
In front of the Main Hall, the black-armored guards receded like a tide, and only after the sound of the clashing armors completely faded away did everyone in the hall dare to breathe.
Tang Ning whispered: "What happened tonight has disturbed everyone. It is Tang Ning's fault."
After hearing this, everyone looked at the little girl in the palace and expressed sympathy. The Lord of Yiyang County was extremely unlucky. The eldest princess, the fourth prince, and even the second prince all regarded her as a ploy to plot against each other. They clearly just went up the mountain to worship. Parents, their reputation was almost ruined.
Seeing her pale face and red eyes, who could bear to blame her.
"County Master, don't say that. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's the eldest princess and the others who are too cruel."
"Yes, you are innocent, and you were almost harmed by them. Fortunately, God blessed you and nothing happened, otherwise it would be really..."
"The fourth prince's concubine is also very vicious. Fortunately, the Buddha beads were recognized by others."
"Anyone who commits unjust acts will be punished by his own death. Don't worry too much, County Master. The eldest princess and the others deserve their punishment. When Your Majesty finds out, he will punish them severely and give you justice."
The world always pities the weak, and besides, Tang Ning is innocent.
Listening to everyone's consolation, Tang Ning forced a smile, but her small face that should have been so beautiful was still pale, and she was obviously shocked.
Mrs. Qian sighed softly and stepped forward and said to everyone: "We have been noisy all night. We are all tired. Let's go back and rest first."
The people in the hall had experienced a thrilling night, and they were indeed tired. However, their bodies were sleepy and their spirits showed no intention of resting. After they dispersed from the hall and went back, many of them were still whispering about the Buddhist temple in the back mountain.
Qian Qiyue and others surrounded Tang Ning.
"Tang Ning, don't be sad, those bastards will definitely not end well!" Qian Qiyue said angrily.
Qian Qingran also frowned: "The second prince and the fourth prince are really despicable. They just fight for power and gain, but in order to plot against each other, they actually use such shameless means to harm innocent people and use a woman's innocence as a stepping stone. How can such people Are you worthy of being your king?"
Fu Laiqing also said angrily: "I used to think that the second prince was better than the fourth prince, but I didn't expect that he is also such a vicious person. He is so easy to use a borrowed knife to kill people. No wonder he can win over people from the aristocratic family and steal the help of the fourth prince. It’s just that someone like him still wants to sit on the throne, unless His Majesty is blind..."
"Fu Laiqing!"
Mrs. Fu shouted in a low voice and glared at her grandson who spoke so freely.
Mrs. Qian also sighed softly: "The royal affairs are not something we can discuss, but tonight's matter has been brought to the forefront. After these people from Tomorrow Temple return to Beijing, the outside world will not be able to hide it. I am afraid that the former and the harem will all If there is turmoil, I don’t know if His Majesty will be soft-hearted.”
Mrs. Fu looked slightly cold: "The dignified prince is accustomed to resorting to dirty tricks. If your majesty spares them, how can you be a wise king?"
Are they treating the censorship platform as a decoration?
After a while, she sent people to rush back to the capital overnight to see her brother. If His Majesty still covers up such a big matter, then his reputation as a king will be lost. She does not believe that His Majesty can spare the word "foolish king" and go. Protect two unscrupulous bastard sons.
A few people exchanged a few words, but seeing that Tang Ning remained silent, Rong Yue also looked bad.
Knowing that the two of them might have been frightened tonight, Mrs. Qian held Tang Ning's hand with compassion.
"Okay, the matter is over. Fortunately, you have always been smart enough to avoid it. The culprit has been found. You are scared tonight, so go back and rest."
Mrs. Fu also nodded: "Go and rest quickly. Don't worry. Everyone knows what is right and wrong."
Tang Ning said "hmm" with red eyes.
Several people comforted Tang Ning and then returned to their respective residences. Tang Ning and the others came early, and the courtyard they lived in was some distance away from other people's residences. After they were separated from Mrs. Qian and the others, Tang Ning and Rong Yue went to court together. Walk towards your residence.
"Tang Ning." Rongyue, who had been holding back since seeing no one else, spoke up: "What happened just now..."
"Girl, Master Heart Lamp is here."
