Chapter 112 Exposed
Chapter 112 Exposed
Without waiting for Yan Qing to say anything, Wang Mingyu jumped up first.
She stared at Lu Qiaonan in disbelief: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Why did she feel that the more she explained, the worse it got?
Although she and Lu Qiaonan stayed in the same box for a whole night and her clothes were disheveled, nothing happened between them!
Lu Qiaonan was very clear about this.
But why didn't he explain it clearly? Why did he let everyone think that he and her had something going on?
What does Lu Qiaonan want to do?
In the excitement, an absurd thought suddenly flashed through Wang Mingyu's mind: Could it be that Lu Qiaonan still wants to marry her?
What are you dreaming about?
Wang Mingyu immediately looked at King Qi: "Second brother, don't listen to his nonsense. I have nothing to do with him..."
"Mingyu."
The King of Qi interrupted Wang Mingyu.
He reached out and straightened Wang Mingyu's messy hair, looking at her tenderly: "Such a big thing happened, why didn't you tell your second brother? Don't worry, your second brother will definitely seek justice for you."
Wang Mingyu met King Qi's eyes and suddenly shuddered.
The words of defense were instantly silenced.
She turned around and glared at Lu Qiaonan with gloomy eyes.
He married Yan Qing, slept with Yan Tan, and still wanted to marry her? Where did Lu Qiaonan get the nerve?
Did she really think that, with her reputation as an excuse and her second brother's support, she would have no choice but to marry him? She was a daughter of the royal family, a lucky charm born with jade in her mouth, and a county lady raised by the Empress herself!
Who does he think he is?
Just a poor fellow! Do you think you are worthy?
However, Lu Qiaonan seemed unable to sense Wang Mingyu's murderous look, nor did he seem to sense the strange and bizarre attitudes coming from all around him.
The man who used to care so much about what others thought of him was now like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and he didn't care at all about how he looked in everyone's eyes.
He now has only one purpose.
His heart and eyes were filled with the thought that no matter what means he used, he would climb up, he would stand at the pinnacle of power, and he would step on Yan Qing and Gu Huaizhou under his feet!
Make her regret betraying him!
The King of Qi looked at Yan Qing again and said coldly, "Princess Qinghe, do you want to give me and the Princess an explanation?"
Yan Qing stepped out from behind Gu Huaizhou and asked blankly, "What do you mean?"
The King of Qi looked at her with a smile and asked, "Why did the Princess frame Prince Lu and the County Lady?"
Yan Qing really wanted to applaud him.
How could the King of Qi be seeking justice for Wang Mingyu? He clearly wanted to use Wang Mingyu to attack her.
Ever since the Gongsun Zhi incident, Yan Qing understood that the King of Qi wanted to kill her all the time.
But Wang Mingyu at least called him second brother.
Grew up with him since childhood.
He actually didn't care at all.
Thinking of this, Yan Qing looked at Wang Mingyu with pity, and that look made Wang Mingyu even angrier.
Yan Qing spoke calmly, "From just now until now, the County Lady, Prince Lu, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi have all insisted that I framed the County Lady and Prince Lu. Do you have any evidence?"
"Yes."
Gu Huaizhou looked at the calm and wise woman in front of him, his lips slightly raised, and his dark eyes glared at King Qi: "Second brother, you don't think you can solve the case just by talking, do you?"
The King of Qi pointed at Yan Tan lying on the ground and said, "Miss Yan is the evidence!"
Yan Qing laughed: "Your Highness, perhaps you have forgotten something and forgot how to conduct an investigation?"
"you--"
"Why not let the Dali Temple Minister and Jingzhao Prefecture Governor tell Your Highness whether Yan Tan is a witness?"
As Yan Qing finished speaking, Jingguang Prefecture Governor Li rolled his eyes at Yan Qing's back. "What? Isn't a tough guy like the Dali Temple Minister enough for you? You have to drag him into this?"
However, even though he was complaining in his heart, he appeared more respectful than anyone else.
Lord Wang, the Supreme Court Justice, stepped forward and said, "According to Miss Yan's testimony, she and the county lady were in the wing room with Prince Lu last night. Therefore, she is a party to the incident, and parties cannot be witnesses."
The Jingzhao prefect nodded repeatedly: "Master Wang, what you said makes sense."
Lord Wang continued, "If you want to solve this case, it's easy. Call in the people who went to Fusheng Restaurant with the county lady yesterday, as well as the restaurant owner. Confront them one by one, and the truth will become clear."
The Jingzhao prefect continued to nod: "Master Wang, what you said makes sense!"
The King of Qi then said, "Okay, then call all these people here!"
"Master Wang is right... Hey! It's not Master Wang who's speaking, is it?"
The prefect of Jingzhao was nodding halfway when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw that everyone was looking at him.
He touched his nose and immediately looked at the King of Qi in a flattering manner: "Your Highness, what you said makes sense!"
The King of Qi looked at him with disdain.
This Jingzhao prefect is a fence-sitter who can do nothing but agree and flatter. I don't know how he has been able to sit in the position of Jingzhao prefect for so many years.
Soon, all the noble ladies who were invited by Wang Mingyu to Fusheng Restaurant yesterday were invited to Yan Mansion.
There are also the owner and waiter of Fu Sheng Restaurant.
Although Fusheng Restaurant serves wealthy and powerful officials, facing four princes and most of the high-ranking officials in Kyoto at the same time would scare even the experienced owner into breaking out in a cold sweat.
Without waiting for anyone to ask, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "My dear friends, what happened yesterday has nothing to do with our shop. How can we stop the county lord from doing anything..."
The Dali Temple official asked, "What did the county lady do?"
The shopkeeper said truthfully, "The county lady invited all the noble ladies to a banquet, but she reserved two side rooms. Later, I saw the county lady enter the other side room alone..."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Wang Mingyu immediately looked at the restaurant owner threateningly: "If you dare to slander this county lady again, I will pull out your tongue!"
The shopkeeper turned pale with fear, but he was very clear-headed and could not tell a lie at this moment. He trembled and held out an account book, saying, "This is the restaurant's account book. It records the county lady's reservation yesterday. If you don't believe me, you can take a look."
The prefect of Jingzhao immediately stepped forward and snatched it away.
Everyone thought he was going to look through it, but they saw him hold the account book in front of the King of Qi with both hands and said flatteringly, "Your Highness, please take a look."
Officials: Dogleg!
King Qi turned to the page from yesterday and saw that Wang Mingyu had booked two rooms.
He looked at Wang Mingyu with cold eyes.
Wang Mingyu defended herself, "I decided that for the sisters. I was afraid everyone would get drunk and have nowhere to rest..."
The ladies said, "We were indeed all drunk yesterday, but we didn't go to the other rooms. We stayed in our original rooms... When we woke up, it was already the next day. Apart from us, we didn't see the county lady..."
"Not only did I not see the county lady, I also didn't see Prince Lu and Miss Yan."
The last person to speak was Yang Yun, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She looked at Wang Mingyu and Lu Qiaonan and said slowly, "I didn't drink much yesterday, so I woke up soon after. I happened to see the princess who was also sober, so we left Fusheng Restaurant together."
After saying that, Yang Ying looked at Yan Qing.
He actually blinked mischievously.
Yan Qing understood instantly: I didn’t lie.
She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and at the same time felt grateful. She didn't expect that Miss Yang would be willing to help her.
