The soft and sticky crown princess is reborn and throws herself into the arms of the crown prince
Chapter 189: Reversal of Confession
Pei Xuan and Mu Yunchen arrived at the Ministry of Justice prison one after another.
Because of Pei Xuan's interrogation, and the fact that Mu Yunyu killed someone to silence him, Ao Zhishan was frightened, and Mu Yunchen also sent people to rescue him, as well as Mei'er and Xiao Doubao.
Now, he has no choice but to choose the crown prince or the prince.
Before Pei Xuan was even tortured, Ao Zhishan knelt down and cried for his parents, saying that he wanted to confess. However, as to what he wanted to confess, he had to wait until he met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Therefore, Pei Xuan invited Mu Yunchen to the Ministry of Justice's prison.
Pei Xuan sat and waited for a while before Mu Yunchen arrived.
"His Royal Highness."
Pei Xuan stood up and bowed to Mu Yunchen. After Mu Yunchen sat down, he sat down too.
"Master Pei, you have worked hard."
Then Mu Yunchen turned around, waved his hand, and said to the yamen runner: "Bring the person up."
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Soon, the bailiffs brought Ao Zhishan out of the prison. Although he was not tortured, he looked really miserable. He smelled like a rough guy, like stinky feet.
Mu Yunchen and Pei Xuan looked at each other, and in a rare tacit understanding, they both covered their mouths and noses. They stayed there for a long time, waiting for their sense of smell to adapt to the surrounding environment before letting go.
When he saw Mu Yunchen, Ao Zhishan immediately knelt down and cried, "Your Highness, please spare my life. I am forced to do this."
Mu Yunchen frowned and completely ignored Ao Zhishan's words.
His eyes were fixed on the dead mouse stuck to the sole of Ao Zhishan's shoe, which was almost crushed into pieces.
For some reason, a word suddenly appeared in Mu Yunchen's mind - explosion!
Tofu!
Suddenly, he felt nauseous and couldn't help but let out a sigh, which immediately made Pei Xuan look at him differently.
Isn't it rumored that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince always has a blank expression on his face and is indifferent to everything, as if there is nothing in this world that he cares about?
He has an indifferent, arrogant and cold personality, which makes him incompatible with this world. But he is also kind-hearted and his methods are as swift as thunder, which makes many people respect him?
Although he had met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince two or three times, they did not have much interaction. If the Ministry of Justice had not been headed by the Crown Prince this time, they would have had even less interaction.
After spending time with him yesterday, he also felt that it was just as the rumors said, that the prince was very aloof.
Why does it seem like this now? ...
Pei Xuan thought for a long time before he came up with a word to describe it.
Be informal!
Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so friendly and casual today?
I'm afraid the rumor is false!
Mu Yunchen remembered after he had taken a look that this was not in the Prince's Mansion.
His behavior just now might have damaged his dignity as the crown prince!
He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Pei Xuan, nor did he want to establish an approachable image.
Not sure if it was out of embarrassment or something, but Mu Yunchen pretended to cough twice, his eyes swept over Pei Xuan intentionally or unintentionally. He was the crown prince, but he played the guilty conscience game very well.
"Don't move, kneel down!"
Mu Yunchen raised his hand and pointed at Ao Zhishan. The bailiff beside him stepped forward and held Ao Zhishan down properly before Mu Yunchen began to ask questions.
It was just a minor incident, no one will care.
But Mu Yunchen didn't know that the majestic image he established was shattered to pieces by Pei Xuan's "rumors" after he inherited the throne!
Ao Zhishan shrank back awkwardly, waiting for Mu Yunchen's question.
"I heard from Lord Pei that you would only tell the truth if you saw me. Now that I have seen you, tell me. Lord Pei and I are both sitting here, and we will listen carefully to what you have to say."
"But..." Mu Yunchen deliberately raised and lowered his voice, emphasizing the tone of the second half of the sentence.
"If you can't tell the truth, I don't have that much time to waste with you."
Although Ao Zhishan cannot bear the hardship in front of him, he is also a man with good vision.
He immediately expressed his loyalty to Mu Yunchen.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will tell you everything I know. If I tell you even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning."
There's nothing strange about this sounding, it's like someone holding a bounty order in the market asking for the reward.
Pei Xuan looked at Ao Zhishan expressionlessly, and could not help but interrupt him: "I advise you to find your own position and not play tricks in front of me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Don't forget, you are a witness, but you are also a prisoner. Now is not the time for you to show your loyalty."
Mu Yunchen's eyes were as clear as a mirror. He curled his lips and said, "Pei Xuan, you are worthy of important positions."
Maybe in the future I will be like Bai Yu and become his right-hand man.
Ao Zhishan was so scared by Pei Xuan's yell that he just nodded tremblingly.
"Yes, yes, Master Pei is right. I understand."
As he spoke, he did not forget to observe Mu Yunchen's expression.
"Then tell me, on New Year's Eve, when you really saw with your own eyes the carriages of the Crown Prince's Mansion collide with those of the Prince He's Mansion, was it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who ordered all the drivers to be beaten to death?"
After a pause, Pei Xuan added: "Ao Zhishan, this case involves more than a dozen lives. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Heqin are both involved in this case. I think you know the importance of this case."
"So, if you dare to lie or speak rudely, you will be dragged out and chopped up and fed to the dogs."
After saying that, Pei Xuan snorted coldly and sat back in his chair. Although he appeared calm on the surface, his eyes were still observing Mu Yunchen's expression.
After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still here, and what he just said clearly overstepped the mark.
Fortunately, Mu Yunchen didn't move. He just sat there, slightly raised his eyebrows, and a faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Ao Zhishan quickly raised his hand and swore to the sky, saying righteously: "No, on New Year's Eve, the dozen or so drivers were beaten to death by order of Prince Heqin. It had nothing to do with the Prince's Mansion. I was wrong."
Pei Xuan was a little surprised, but not that surprised.
He just reminded in a cold voice: "Ao Zhishan, I am warning you. When the Ministry of Justice sent someone to question you, you insisted that it was the Crown Prince's Mansion who ordered the beating. Now you say it was the Prince of Heqin. Do you know what crime it is to frame the prince?"
"I will give you one last chance. Tell me exactly what you saw on New Year's Eve."
The balance in Ao Zhishan's heart had already tilted since Mu Yunyu ordered someone to kill him to silence him.
He agreed to give false testimony because he was greedy for the silver and the prince threatened him by detaining his people.
But now, the prince has fallen out with him. If he doesn't tell the truth, he will be in trouble and even lose his life.
Thinking of this, Ao Zhishan told everything that happened that night.
It was an expected answer. Mu Yunchen pursed his lips slightly, waiting for Pei Xuan to ask thoughtfully.
He felt that Pei Xuan... wouldn't be so stupid.
as predicted.
Pei Xuan continued to ask: "Ao Zhishan, I have another question to ask you. Why did the other guards who were on duty with you that night all say in unison that they did not see the Crown Prince when the carriages of the Prince's Palace collided with the Crown Prince's Palace?
You are the only one who said that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who issued the order on the spot. Could it be that the order was issued before the person was present?"
Pei Xuan certainly knew that at the beginning of the case, the families of those coachmen sued His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for taking human lives lightly, and then because the Crown Princess said that the Crown Prince had never traveled with them.
That's why the Emperor ordered that only the Crown Princess be arrested and imprisoned, while His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was left intact and now has become his immediate superior.
But is this really the case?
Ao Zhishan had almost gone over Pei Xuan's words several times in his mind. As soon as Pei Xuan finished speaking, he immediately replied: "My Lord, I am bewitched.
In order to drag His Royal Highness into this water, I cooperated with Prince He to make up lies. The Prince's Mansion was framed by Prince He!"
Pei Xuan's face showed no emotion, but he had a plan in mind.
Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not present, the Crown Princess was there, and the carriage belonged to the Crown Prince's mansion. If they wanted to put the blame on someone, why would the Prince go to the trouble of asking Ao Zhishan to point the finger at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
and so……
Pei Xuan asked in a deep voice: "I just want to ask you one question, was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really not there that night?"
Ao Zhishan was at a loss for a moment. He was being hunted by Prince He and was taken to the Ministry of Justice just after escaping death.
No one told him that what the others said was that they had not seen the prince.
So did he see it or not?
"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here... or not...?"
Ao Zhishan looked up at Mu Yunchen, his eyes seemed to be asking what to say. How could Pei Xuan not see such an obvious action? He knew everything in an instant.
But Pei Xuan didn't say anything. Mu Yunchen flicked the dust off his clothes and smiled kindly.
But he couldn't help but think that Mu Yunyu was stupid. Why would he look for someone like Ao Zhishan who couldn't judge the situation to do things for him?
What an idiot!
He was scolding Mu Yunyu and also Ao Zhishan.
