After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

Chapter 32: Confrontation in court, a storm in the city

When Wei Tingfeng was about to give an order, a clear female voice came from in front of him.

"Ariel, don't mess around."

Meng Zhaoge walked slowly towards the door and stopped the boy in time.

She looked calm and nodded slightly to Wei Tingfeng: "Master Wei, please forgive me. A Lie is still young, he is just worried about me."

Wei Tingfeng glanced at the pale-faced young man and said playfully, "So, Your Majesty knows the purpose of my coming here?"

Meng Zhaoge: "Lord Wei came in person, it's impossible that he came to visit my Jingwang Mansion. I know I'm innocent, I just don't want to play dumb."

Wei Tingfeng paused and thought that this princess, who was usually said to be cowardly, was quite interesting.

It seems that he is quite eloquent.

"Then please follow me, Madam." He said in a deep voice, making a 'please' gesture.

Meng Zhaoge nodded, turned around, and gave a reassuring smile to the boy and girl who were looking worried.

"Don't be afraid."

She said gently: "Lord Wei, I will never take anyone's life lightly."

Wei Tingfeng: “…”

"But..." Yuan Jinglie's eyes turned red and he was about to say something else.

But looking at Meng Zhaoge's gentle eyes, in the end, he just nodded heavily.

"Sister, I understand."

There must be a reason why Sister did this. He couldn't cause trouble for Sister anymore.

Mo Huan said with red eyes: "I will wait for the queen to come back, the queen will be fine."

Immediately, Meng Zhaoge was taken away by people from the Dali Temple.

The commotion that morning quickly spread throughout Chai'an.

When Concubine Lan in the palace heard this, she became restless and prepared for the worst.

"Fortunately, Qi'er is not here now, so I can't blame Qi'er." Thinking of this, she felt fortunate again.

Then, Nanny Tongfang ordered: "Immediately find someone to guard outside the Dali Temple. Once Meng Zhaoge's guilt is confirmed, report back immediately. By then, we will have to draw a clear line between ourselves and her."

Nanny Fang was stunned: "Madam, do you want the prince to divorce her?"

Concubine Lan closed her eyes with a headache and said, "We can't have a concubine who is involved in human life in the Jing Palace."

This would be a stain on her son.

Among the people, there was even more discussion.

A dead body fell in front of the gate of Prince Jing's mansion, which was very strange. The murderer was suspected to be the princess, which was even more surprising.

After all, Meng Zhaoge has been known in Chai'an for his gentleness and restraint over the years.

How could such a weak girl actually kill someone?

In the streets and alleys, everyone started discussing: "It is said that Gong Yangye pretended to be Mr. Gong Yang from Bailu Cave, and was discovered by the princess, so she killed him."

"That princess is too impulsive."

"But I heard that the fake was cornered and held a grudge, so he went to seek revenge on the princess, but was killed by the people in the Jing Palace."

"But even if you lied, it's not a capital crime."

"Ugh."

……

Dali Temple Court.

Meng Zhaoge was brought to the hall, where he realized that someone had been waiting there for a long time.

The man was very young and had a delicate face.

The first time Meng Zhaoge saw him, he began to guess who he was.

Until the Dali Temple Minister Murong Gu called him: "Fang Xiu, now that the princess has arrived, come and take a look. Is this the person you want to identify?"

The man called Fang Xiu looked at Meng Zhaoge tremblingly and his face turned pale immediately.

"My Lord, it was she who killed my master!"

Murong Gu asked again: "Please look carefully. The person in front of you is the Princess of Jing. If you have mistaken her, I will hold you responsible."

Fang Xiu knelt on the ground with a thump, and said with certainty, "How dare I lie to you? It was this princess who came to our house last night. She said she had something to tell the master, and asked me to leave."

"Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, the people brought by the princess knocked me out. When I woke up, the gentleman was already dead!"

He seemed to recall with horror: "I had no choice but to bring the person to the Jingwang Mansion to seek justice."

Meng Zhaoge asked first, "Were you the one who dragged Gong Yangye's body to the gate of the palace?"

"Yeah." Fang Xiu swallowed.

Meng Zhaoge pursed his lips: "You are lying."

Murong Gu paused and asked, "Why do you say that, Madam?"

"Master Murong." Meng Zhaoge looked at Murong Gu calmly and explained, "Yesterday, I did have a conflict with Gong Yangye. I think you have already found out. Gong Yangye pretended to be his cousin Gong Yangyi to deceive people. I just exposed his identity."

"Yes, your Majesty, this action is to eliminate harm for the people." Murong Guo said kindly.

Then he changed the subject: "However, cheating is not a capital crime. What the queen said cannot be used as evidence that Fang Xiu lied."

Meng Zhaoge: "I know, please continue to listen to me, sir."

Murong Gu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please speak."

"Afterwards, those who were deceived by Gong Yangye came looking for revenge, and his family assets were emptied. And the man who followed him, who was called a book boy but was actually a concubine, naturally abandoned him."

After saying that, she looked at the kneeling man meaningfully and smiled slightly: "Am I right? Fang Xiu."

Fang Xiu was sweating profusely, his lips trembling, "I don't understand what the queen means..."

"I mean--"

Meng Zhaoge said word by word: "You are the one who abandoned Gong Yangye and ran away, the concubine."

Hearing this, several people in the hall were shocked, but after a moment, they felt it was normal again.

This Fang Xiu has the appearance of a pretty boy and really doesn't look like a proper book boy.

Wei Tingfeng was even more thoughtful and speculated: "In this case, it is impossible for Fang Xiu to see the princess go to Gong Yangye at night."

Murong Gu glared at him, thinking that he talked too much, and quickly cleared his throat to regain his composure.

"If it is true, then Fang Xiu's words are not valid."

"It's fake!" Fang Xiu suddenly said excitedly, "I didn't leave. I stayed with you all the time! It was the princess who slandered me."

"Don't worry, I still have evidence." Meng Zhaoge smiled and asked Wei Tingfeng again: "Sir Wei, when you came to the palace, did you see any bloodstains on the street?"

Wei Tingfeng thought about it and said, "No."

Meng Zhaoge nodded: "That's right."

She pointed at Fang Xiu again and said with certainty, "Sir, he just said that he dragged Gong Yangye to the gate of the palace, but Gong Yangye was covered in blood. If he really dragged him here, how could there be no blood on the street?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xiu's pupils trembled suddenly and he lowered his head nervously.

Murong Gu thought it made sense and nodded: "Yes, if there is no blood on the street, it means Fang Xiu is lying."

After that, he slammed the gavel on the table and asked sternly, "Fang Xiu, why do you bite the princess so casually?"

"Sir!" Fang Xiu raised his head, his eyes red, as if he had suffered a devastating blow.

He screamed miserably: "How can you be so indiscriminate? Just because this woman is the princess, you have to favor her?"

Murong Gu was shocked by his inexplicable accusation and was about to scold him angrily, but Fang Xiu suddenly stood up and rushed towards the corner post.

"The world is so unfair! Sir! I will die for you!"

The miserable cry struck Murong Gu's ears like a bolt of lightning.

His expression changed in shock: "Wei Tingfeng! Stop him!"
