Chapter 61 Those Who Commit Evil Will Be Retaliated Against
Yan Li, Ling Ning, and Shen Huifu left Haitang Garden and walked towards the front yard.
Ling Ning didn't talk much at all, and now was not the time to talk, so she was speechless all the way, holding a question in her heart, planning to ask Yan Li after she left Prince Yu's Mansion.
The maids in the palace passed through the corridors, coming and going in a hurry, all of them looked frightened, as if something big had happened.
"What's going on?" Shen Huifu walked beside Yan Li, looked around calmly, and said in a low voice, "The atmosphere is a little unusual."
Yan Li's voice was very calm, and no emotion could be heard: "Those who do evil will suffer backlash."
Shen Huifu was startled and was thinking about the meaning of her words when he suddenly heard a mess of footsteps behind him.
"Yan Li!" Princess Yu's stern voice came after her, her gloomy anger could hardly be concealed, "Stop!"
Yan Li, Ling Ning and Shen Huifu stopped at the same time, turned their heads, and looked at Princess Yu who was hurriedly coming with her people.
"Princess Yu." Yan Li's eyes were cold and there was no strange expression at all, "What's the point of stopping me?"
Princess Yu looked ugly and stared at Yan Li resentfully: "Yan Li, what have you done that you didn't know about?"
Ling Ning and Shen Huifu turned to look at Yan Li at the same time.
"What did I do?" Yan Li raised her eyebrows and smiled coldly, "Why don't you ask Princess Yu to explain clearly, what did I do?"
Princess Yu angrily asked: "Are the injuries on Wenxuan's body your work?"
"Is Prince Xuan injured?" Shen Huifu was startled, and then he guessed uneasily, "It couldn't be that an assassin came in."
"Princess is joking." Yan Li frowned, with an air of indifference, "I and several noble ladies have been staying in the Begonia Garden to enjoy the flowers, and have never left the attic. How could I hurt Prince Xuan? Could it be that Prince Xuan also Went to the attic?"
After a pause, he said, "Although this is Prince Yu's palace, and Prince Xuan is one of the palace's masters, men and women are not close to each other, so he shouldn't be rude enough to break into a place where women are admiring flowers."
"You dare to quibble after Wenxuan was hurt?" Princess Yu said fiercely, "I have no time to listen to your nonsense. Someone, come and take her down!"
"Princess is too impulsive." Ling Ning frowned and subconsciously stood in front of Yan Li, "Princess Nanyang has indeed been staying in the attic to enjoy the flowers. She has never left even half a step. How could she hurt Prince Xuan?"
Shen Huifu nodded: "Yes, the princess accuses Princess Nanyang of harming Prince Xuan. She should at least provide evidence. Otherwise, it is just slander. Even if the accusation is brought before the emperor, the princess will not be justified."
Shen Huifu's father was the censor of the dynasty, and his duty was to impeach all officials. Any official in the dynasty who had improper behavior or violated discipline, regardless of whether he was a prince, prime minister or a ninth-grade pawn, was treated equally in his eyes, and he would impeach him if he should be impeached.
So Shen Huifu did the same when facing Princess Yu. When he accused others of hurting others, he had to at least provide evidence, otherwise it would be spreading rumors and slander.
"Miss Ling, Miss Shen." Princess Yu glanced at them coldly, "What happened in Prince Yu's Mansion has nothing to do with you. I hope you two won't wade into troubled waters."
Neither Lord Protector nor Shen Yushi were easy to mess with. Princess Yu had no intention of becoming an enemy of either of them, so she didn't care about Ling Ning and Shen Huifu's attitudes.
But if they interfere in Prince Yu's affairs, they are looking for trouble.
"But--"
"Miss Shen is right. The princess accuses me of hurting someone. At least she should provide evidence." Yan Li smiled faintly and casually glanced at the surrounding palace guards. "Otherwise, it is deliberately framed. Even if you are the princess, You can’t do that either.”
"Sharp teeth." Princess Yu thought of her son's injury and hated her in her heart. She had no intention of listening to her excuses. "I want to take you down today. Let's see what you can do? Come on!"
Upon hearing the order, the guards of Prince Yu's Mansion stepped forward one after another, trying to capture Yan Li with great momentum.
Yan Li sneered and was about to pull out the whip from his waist when a loud announcement suddenly sounded outside: "The Ninth Prince is here!"
Princess Yu's expression changed and she suddenly looked up.
Mu Cang walked slowly into the door. His black robe made him look tall and thin, and his demeanor was cold and terrifying. His handsome face was covered with a thin layer of frost, and his eyebrows were noble and ascetic. Like banishing an immortal.
If you only look at his appearance, it is clear that he is a cold prince who can only be viewed from a distance but not played with. However, the pressure around him makes people fearful and frightened.
The guards immediately knelt on the ground, followed by Ling Ning and Shen Huifu.
"See the Ninth Prince."
Mu Yunzhu and Mu Ya were startled when they heard the movement and chased after them. Their eyes flashed and they knelt down respectfully and saluted: "I've seen Uncle Nine Emperors before."
Mu Cang ignored the others and just looked around at the battle in front of him expressionlessly, then looked at Princess Yu: "Princess Yu is so capable."
Princess Yu's expression changed: "The Ninth Prince didn't know something, Yan Li hurt Wenxuan, she..."
Mu Cang's eyebrows were stern: "Is there any evidence?"
Princess Yu paused: "I..."
"I want to keep the princess's fiancée in the palace without any evidence. Is this the rule of Prince Yu's palace?" Mu Cang's eyes were filled with coldness. "Did you see it with your own eyes, or did Mu Wenxuan tell you personally that it was Yan? Li hurt him?"
Everyone was shocked, kneeling on the ground and not daring to speak.
Princess Yu's aura weakened, her face turned blue and white, but she still insisted on Yan Li: "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, except for Yan Li, there is no one else at all..."
"Princess Nanyang has been staying with us." Ling Ning said calmly, not caring whether this testimony would make Princess Yu hate her, "From entering the attic to leaving the garden, the princess never left the garden attic. Shen The girl, the eighth princess and Princess Muya can all testify."
Mu Yunzhu and Mu Ya's expressions both changed, they raised their heads and glared at her resentfully.
"Reporting to the Ninth Prince, what Miss Ling said is true." Shen Huifu said respectfully, "Today Princess Muya invited us to attend the flower viewing banquet. The invited people sat in the flower hall drinking tea and chatting for a while. , Princess Muya invited us to go to the Begonia Garden to enjoy the flowers. Everyone dispersed in the garden. The court lady and Miss Ling were on the second floor. They saw Princess Nanyang standing in the attic admiring the flowers and never left, so..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Princess Yu suddenly lost control and interrupted her sternly, "Wenxuan is lying on the bed now unable to move. The guard insisted that it was Princess Nanyang who did it. Why do you testify against her? Did you see it with your own eyes? Yushi Shen’s daughter also learned to lie with open eyes? "
Ling Ning said calmly: "If Princess Yu wants to frame Princess Nanyang, she will naturally reconcile her confession with the servants in the palace in advance."
Princess Yu was so angry that her face was livid: "You are so outrageous! You are so outrageous!"
