C95 (1/2)
The sound of jade shattering broke the silence of the hall. Everyone quickly kneeled down, and Zhao Fan and Imperial Consort Wu also stuck their heads on the ground at the same time.
Everyone became flustered, afraid that they would not be able to endure the wrath of the Son of Heaven.
Xie Heng and Xie Xuan both looked at Wen Jiu at the same time, the shock in their eyes hard to conceal.
”Two months ago, this person suddenly appeared in the Changping County and took me as his guide. Who would have known that when he was hidden in the forest, there were actually dozens of black-clothed men chasing after him. As they were fighting, this person fell off the cliff.
Wen Jiu's face stiffened: This humble girl does not know, just what is this evidence?
It was said that the ignorant was fearless. She pretended to be ignorant and fearless!
Wen Jiu's voice was not particularly loud, but at the moment, the hall was quiet, making her words extremely clear.
”How dare you, Wen Jiu! How dare you … ”How dare you …”
Wang Liang wasn't even able to complete his sentence as he hurriedly descended the white jade steps and almost fell to the ground. With trembling hands, he picked up the shattered engraved dragon carving on the ground and presented it to the Emperor.
Seeing that, Zhao Yi's face turned green.
Several sharp-eyed officials noticed and one of them said in a low voice, ”Isn't this the same as a few days ago …” the stolen Imperial Jade Seal? ”
The crowd did not dare to speak up.
Who could afford to offend a girl who smashed the Imperial Jade Seal in front of the Emperor and asked what the hell she was up to?
Wen Jiu asked in confusion, ”The Imperial Jade Seal? What's that for? ”
No one answered.
She then continued to speak: ”This humble girl has been keeping this item ever since she escaped from death, precisely because she wanted to one day identify this person. Who would have thought that this person would be the Fourth Prince of the dynasty, to kill me the moment he saw me, and chase after General's Mansion from the palace … This humble woman does not know which part of the Great Yan regulation says: ”If Prince wants to kill, you have to stand there and allow him to stab you with his blade!”
”Wen Jiu! What is your motive for slandering me like this? ”
Zhao Fan suddenly stood up, and said to her in a low voice: ”Calm down the matter, maybe you can save your own life.”
Wen Jiu suddenly took a step back as if he was overly frightened, and then he unsteadily fell to the ground at the center of the hall. His eyes were filled with panic, ”If you want to kill me, you just have to kill me … Why must you harm my brothers like this? ”
After she had said everything she needed to say, she fell onto the ground. Her clothes were soaked in the wind and snow, and she was scared and frightened. She looked weak and weak, but she could still be bullied.
Xie Heng took a step forward, bent down, and helped her up. He said with a frown: ”With your majesty here, how can he cover the sky with one hand?”
Wen Jiu looked at her, and called out with his trembling voice, ”Brother …”
Everyone's heart skipped a beat as they looked at the person who had treated the Imperial Jade Seal like a rock just now. How did he become like this in the blink of an eye?
The Xie Xuan who had been silent all this while suddenly opened his mouth: ”A prince carrying the Imperial Jade Seal ran from the Dijing to a remote Changping County, and was chased by people, forcing this civilian girl to escape, what is his intention in this?”
Without waiting for Zhao Fan to retort.
Xie Heng said, ”His Great Jin attacked Anyang City at night and slaughtered a hundred and thirty thousand people. He said that he had come here on the spur of the moment, would anyone believe him?”
The stolen Imperial Jade Seal suddenly became an object brought out by Zhao Fan. A while ago, the Old Emperor was severely ill, and there were rumors of him passing down the throne, causing great chaos between the crown prince and the Prince Rui. However, Zhao Fan disappeared at that time, and the situation of the Dijing City had just stabilized, and this person just happened to appear again.
At first, he didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but if he truly connected these things one by one, wouldn't that mean …?
When everyone heard this, they were even more shocked.
Not to mention what Zhao Fan had originally planned to do, now that the Xie Family brothers had said those words, they had already linked Zhao Fan escaping with the Imperial Jade Seal with the incident of his Great Jin invading Anyang City at night. No matter how Fourth Prince defended, he definitely had doubts in his heart.
