Chapter 307: The Closing (1)
But even so, the small figure walked wildly, not tall, but felt calm and composed. Even though the emperor could not help but flash a little surprise in his eyes, it was said that a person's behavior was worthy of his demeanor. Xuan Pei appeared so suddenly in the eyes of everyone, but was not the cowardly inferior prince in everyone's mind. Instead, he had a kind of demeanor and glamorousness. Even everyone had an illusion that in time, this prince must be nothing in the pool. At such a young age, he had already become a bit restrained and calm. Although the Tian family had unique conditions, Xuan Li was just like this back then.
Xuan Pei walked to the Golden Palace, lifted the corner of his robe and knelt down beside Jiang Ruan, and said, "Father, my son can testify that Princess Heyi was not killed by Princess Hong'an!"
Jiang Ruan looked at the boy in front of her in a daze. Looking closer, unlike the bullied child before, Xuan Pei seemed to have changed into another person, with a pretended calm and mature face, but it was extremely strange.
Xuan Pei was timid and was bullied in the palace because of her biological mother. She had made an appointment to enter the palace at this time in her previous life. At that time, she encountered Xuan Pei being bullied. She comforted her a few words, but later somehow it reached the emperor's ears and handed over Xuan Pei to her for raising.
In her previous life, she and Xuan Pei depended on each other in the palace. Xuan Pei was the most sensible child she had ever seen. She was just a good child, but she could only be trapped in the deep palace like her. Xuan Pei did not even have the opportunity to show her abilities in the court like other princes. Before Xuan Pei met her, she was trashed by someone with ulterior motives in the deep palace. Although she was eight or nine years old, her mind was no different from a five or six year old.
Now this child is abnormal, and there is no obsession in his previous life in his eyes, which is clearly clear. Xuan Pei was born well, and was attracted by Li Dong in his previous life because he was extremely beautiful. At this moment, the children's appearance is excellent. Kneeling with Jiang Ruan makes everyone in the Golden Palace feel dazed. He only feels that the two of them are 70% similar in appearance and behavior. When they think about it, they think that they are thinking too much.
Xuan Lang and Xuan Li's eyes changed slightly, but neither of them expected Xuan Pei's appearance. Although Xuan Pei was not favored, he was nominally a prince like them. In Xuan Li's eyes, Xuan Pei was not even an ant, and he rarely heard his name in the deep palace. Now Ji Chinen has been raising and was not afraid of it since he was a child. It was not afraid of it. It suddenly appeared today. It was shocked that he would speak for Jiang Ruan. Xuan Pei's demeanor and behavior at this moment made Xuan Li feel deeply uneasy.
The emperor looked at Xuan Pei with a complicated expression. He had never taken this son to heart. He could not remember how many princes died in the years. There was never a shortage of bones buried in the deep palace. Perhaps it was God's punishment for him. Among these sons, all those with some talent were wolfish ambitions or were incompetent people, such as the prince, who had shallow nature. If he had not protected him secretly, he would have long become victims of the power struggle of others.
Xuan Pei's mother, the emperor, could no longer remember it, and in the deep palace, the prince who was born in a lowly family was optional for the emperor, and he never cared about it. When he first saw Xuan Pei today, he didn't know what it felt like.
This young man has a beautiful appearance and beautiful facial features. Because he has lived in the deep palace for a long time, his skin looks too fair. However, because he is young, he doesn't feel pale and haggard, but he is as charming as a crystal doll. He inherited the natural good demeanor of the royal family and integrated such good demeanor. Even though he hasn't come out to meet people for so many years, he doesn't know how he has lived, but he has not lost the natural noble temperament.
More importantly, since he walked in, he looked straight into the emperor's eyes, his voice was respectful but not humble, his attitude was calm but not conceited, and he was not like a child of eight or nine years old, and he was almost the same as a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old.
The emperor suddenly realized that he had ignored a possible outstanding prince for so many years.
Xiao Shao frowned slightly. He could see clearly. Jiang Ruan's gaze at Xuan Pei was a little unusual. Although he was trying hard to hide it, he still leaked one or two points. He had installed the Jinyiwei in the palace, so he had naturally heard of the situation of the Thirteenth Prince. How could a stubborn child suddenly change overnight? Jiang Ruan helped Xuan Pei a while ago, and later he heard the Jinyiwei report the situation. At that time, Xuan Pei was still a cowardly prince bullied by the palace maids, so why did he act like this today, completely different. Looking at the palace maids and eunuchs who followed Xuan Pei just now, behave properly without any slightest cross. He clearly respected his master.
I thought Xuan Pei's appearance was Jiang Ruan's arrangement, but it seemed different at this moment. Jiang Ruan's expression was obviously unaware of it. What exactly does this Thirteenth Prince mean?
Xiao Shao's eyes paused. I wonder if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Xuan Pei's actions were actually somewhat similar to Jiang Ruan, almost exactly the same.
The emperor pondered for a long time before slowly speaking, "Oh, how do you want to testify?"
"When the incident happened that day, I was also at Mufengting. I saw with my own eyes that Princess Heyi was dragged to the chair by two palace maids. At first, Princess Hong'an thought it was them playing tricks, but later Princess Hong'an came. When Princess Heyi saw her coming forward to ask, Princess Heyi fell down. The incident happened suddenly, and Princess He was confused and secretly went back while no one was paying attention. Later, when he heard that Princess Hong'an was imprisoned, Princess Hong'an was imprisoned, and she thought about it. She always felt something was wrong. Although she was afraid, she could not watch Princess Hong'an being slandered. Princess was cowardly and had just come forward to testify. Please ask the father to understand!"
As soon as these words were said, everyone took a breath. What did the Thirteenth Prince mean? He could testify on the spot, and the Fourth Prince Xuan Lang also said he had seen it with his own eyes. Xuan Pei's words were obviously accusing Xuan Lang of lying!
Xuan Lang's face changed a few times, and naturally he knew that this matter was amazing. Since Xuan Pei said this, he would have to go to this muddy water even if he didn't. And no matter what, Xuan Pei's words came out, he first aroused the emperor's suspicion.
Who is Xuan Pei? Now he is just an eight or nine-year-old child. No matter how calm he is, his age is indisputable. People think that there is no need for a child to lie, but he is different.
Before Xuan Lang could expel him, Concubine Shu said impatiently: "Do you know what you are talking about? The Fourth Prince also saw it with your own eyes. Wouldn't you betraying the Fourth Prince?" Concubine Shu had already poisoned Xuan Pei's hatred in her heart, but a low-ranking palace maid actually colluded with Jiang Ruan to expel him. Since that was the case, she pulled the Thirteenth Prince into the water and asked him to pay the price for what he did!
