The princess is beautiful and Ziye

Chapter 177 Two in One
"Is she out of her mind, or is it because she clearly knows that a foreigner will appear in Xie Tinglan's room tonight, so she brings people here with great fanfare."

Fu Pingye said lightly, and Zhao Wenjin was so scared that his back was wet, he shook his head again and again, and said in his throat: "No, Your Highness, I didn't..."

A few drops of cold sweat also appeared on the Queen Mother's forehead. She rubbed her fingers, thought for a while and said: "It's so late, and this person is crazy, it's inconvenient to check. Why don't we send someone to investigate after returning to Beijing tomorrow?" , Ting Lan won't be wronged."

"Someone ordered me to do it. I'm just a countryman. I don't dare to offend the nobleman! Please learn from the nobleman! Please spare my life!"

When Cao Yi heard that he was going back to Beijing for a closer investigation, he knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy. If he returned to Beijing like this, wouldn't his life be in the capital?

He kept thinking of ways in his head, suddenly!
"I have evidence! I have evidence!" The guards were about to drag him down and lock him up, but Cao Yi, who happened to think of it, struggled.

The Empress Dowager's brows slightly furrowed, she gave a few guards a cold look, and signaled them to take him down quickly.

The guards dragged their heads in suspense. At this moment, a hand was suddenly pressed on their shoulders, with such force that they were immediately unable to move.

The shadow guard who appeared from nowhere snatched Cao Yi from the bodyguard, dragged him forward and threw him on the ground, Fu Pingye and Xie Tinglan were not far in front of him.

The queen mother's eyes blurred, she couldn't help but close her eyes and turn her head away.

Zhao Wenjin probably won't be able to keep it.

Zhao Wenjin herself was trembling with fright, she didn't know if Yang Mei was looking for the person in front of her, but what she didn't believe was, how could there be any evidence left behind!

Yang Mei must have disguised herself before looking for someone. How could this guy come up with evidence.

Is there any handle left by that waste?

Yang Mei hid behind the crowd, her brows were tightly wrinkled and her face was full of panic. She kept thinking about whether she had left any evidence when she met Cao Yi, logically speaking she shouldn't!
Cao Yi hurriedly explained everything.

"The villain was in the capital a few days ago. He accidentally stole something from the nobleman. He was threatened that he would send the villain to the Yamen. As long as he could do one thing for them, he would not go to jail. The villain reluctantly agreed. They said how much the nobleman Tianhou is coming to Huijue Temple, there is a woman who does not please the nobles here, and after I set fire to the mountain, I will take advantage of the chaos and give people to—”

Under Fu Pingye's icy gaze, Cao Yi immediately stopped talking, and he kowtowed, his head was bleeding and he didn't dare to stop.

"The little man knew he was wrong! He knew he was wrong!"

Xie Tinglan said: "Continue talking."

"Yes, yes! The villain hasn't met her since that day. Just the day before yesterday, she found the villain again and told him to act tonight. The villain is penniless and came to Huijue Temple After running out of ammunition and food for a few days, I wanted to ask her for some money first, but that person refused to give it. The little man caught a glimpse of her under the cloak, with a pendant on her waist, which was very delicate, so...he took advantage of her not paying attention. stole."

Yang Mei's face lost all color.

Fu Pingye said, "Where are the things?"

"The villain pawned it yesterday, and it's in a town not far below the mountain." Cao Yi quickly reported the name of the pawn shop.

One of the shadow guards dodges away.

The Queen Mother said with a straight face: "Ai's family is tired, so I won't wait here with you at this hour."

"The Queen Mother..."

Only then did Zhao Wenjin realize that he was afraid. Seeing that the Queen Mother was about to leave, he called her weepingly.

The Empress Dowager turned a deaf ear to it, she was a useless person anyway, she dared to make such calculations against Xie Tinglan, she would be blamed if Fu Pingye didn't kill her.

I was still thinking about easing the relationship with the prince, but now everything is ruined by this bastard!

In the eyes of the crown prince, Zhao Wenjin is hers, so don't misunderstand that she ordered Zhao Wenjin to harm Xie Tinglan!
The queen mother had a headache and was about to leave when Fu Pingye stopped her.

"People will come back soon, and it's not too late to wait for the Queen Mother."

The queen mother bit her lower lip, swallowed her saliva and said: "The Ai family is useless here, and this matter has nothing to do with the Ai family."

Xie Tinglan smiled, "The Lord of Changle County is the grand-niece of the Empress Dowager's natal family. If this matter is really done by the Lord of Changle County, I still need to ask the Queen Mother how to deal with it."

The queen mother was about to speak, when the monks outside the courtyard stepped aside, it turned out that the abbot heard the movement and rushed over.

"Amitabha."

The abbot twisted the beads and said: "Since all pilgrims have important matters to deal with, you might as well move to the living room. There will be morning classes tomorrow, and the monks in the temple need to rest."

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, and said: "I have disturbed the abbot, Ai's family feels ashamed, and Ai's family will copy a volume of scriptures and send it to your monastery some other day, it should be an apology."

"The poor monk will definitely enshrine the empress dowager's calligraphy in the hall to accumulate virtue for the empress dowager."

Fu Pingye didn't believe in Buddhism, he looked indifferent, and just said: "In a few days, I will find someone to cast a golden Buddha for you."

The abbot's expression was indifferent, and the other monks were not so calm. They clasped their palms together and thanked Fu Pingye.

The abbot bowed together and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Then he led the monks out of the small courtyard.

Xie Tinglan and others also moved to the living room, Wei Shi also followed in order to watch the fun, and Xie Shuhui also stayed close in the name of worrying about Xie Tinglan.

The queen mother couldn't move, so she had to follow her, resting her elbows on the table, covering her face and rubbing her temples.

Not long after, the shadow guard came back.

"Your Highness." The Shadow Guard wanted to hand over the jade pendant to Fu Pingye, but Fu Pingye raised his chin in Cao Yi's direction and said:

"Show him if it's one."

Cao Yi's eyes were staring at the pain, he tried his best to look at the jade pendant with wide eyes, and then nodded fiercely.

"That's right! That's, that's it!"

Seeing his delirious appearance, Zhao Wenjin rolled his eyes and said, "You said this was stolen from that man! Your Highness, maybe he just pushed the charge to be unfounded because he wanted to escape the crime." on the person. You must not be deceived by him!"

Cao Yi said anxiously: "I'm not lying! There are still engravings on this jade pendant! Look at it, my lord!"

"The villain guarantees that this pendant was definitely stolen from the servant girl who instructed the villain! Otherwise, the villain will be struck by lightning and die!"

On the pendant - there is an engraving! !
Zhao Wenjin suddenly thought of something, and his face turned pale.

Xie Tinglan asked someone to bring up the pendant, found the place where the lettering was engraved, and said with a chuckle, "Le, this lettering is a bit special..."

There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were dark and she looked at Zhao Wenjin.

Who in Beijing didn't know that because Zhao Wenjin was the empress dowager's grand-niece, she was given the title of Changle County Lord, and she was very proud. Since then, almost every personal item has her title engraved on it, such as handkerchiefs, hairpin handles, Jade pendant!
Zhao Wenjin's eyes widened, and he quibbled: "Framed! This is clearly framed!"

Xie Tinglan glanced behind her, Yang Mei's head was almost buried in her chest, and her guilty conscience was written all over her face.

Xie Tinglan said: "Yangmei, this pendant was given to you by the Lord of Changle County. She shouldn't be able to do this kind of thing by herself."

Yang Mei was horrified, and immediately knelt down and said, "Your servant is wronged! This servant doesn't know anything! Someone must have framed the magistrate!"

Yang Mei was so frightened that her voice became hoarse.

Cao Yi's eyes lit up when he heard it.

"It's her! It's her! It's the voice, I remember the voice!"

Yang Mei still refused to admit that Fu Pingye was already bored and didn't want to hear her crying and howling, so he frowned and said, "Take her for interrogation."

"Your Highness! Your Highness's slaves are really wronged! The county lord saves the slaves, the county lord!"

Yang Mei's mind was full of Cao Yigang rushing out of Xie Tinglan's room, her hands were trembling, she couldn't catch her breath, she fainted on the spot.

The shadow guard showed no mercy, let her go and let her lie on the ground, and then pinched her five fingers with his foot.

Zhao Wenjin shuddered in fright, leaned tightly on the back of the chair, and kept looking at the Queen Mother with eyes asking for help.

After a shrill scream, Yang Mei woke up.

The pain from the five fingers made her head go hot, and she thought that like Cao Yi, her fingers had been cut off.

Yang Mei burst into tears, knelt on the ground and kowtowed while saying, "Your servant also obeys orders! Everything is done by the county magistrate!"

Yang Mei vomited everything up, and the only sound left in the hall was her sobbing, and Zhao Wenjin's huge panting of fear.

"It's not me...Really, I didn't...You lowly maidservant! You actually framed me!"

Zhao Wenjin stood up from his chair, and beat Yang Mei to vent his anger.

Suddenly, she felt as if something had passed over the top of her head, it was cold and brought a gust of wind.

Zhao Wenjin's eyes widened, she saw her black hair scattered, and a scream escaped from her throat.

Fu Pingye hissed softly, and the long sword that had just cut Zhao Wenjin's Qingsi was placed in front of her neck, only a trembling distance away from her throat.

The queen mother was terrified, she quickly stood up and said, "Yuan Ting! Zhao Wenjin is at fault, but the crime is not worthy of death!"

"Woooooh, auntie, save me..."

Zhao Wenjin didn't dare to move, tears fell like bursting a bank.

She looked at Fu Pingye with red eyes, she didn't expect him to be so ruthless.

Even if she did this, she wouldn't be able to shoot her. She and the prince are cousins!And isn't Xie Tinglan unscathed!

Damn it is that audacious waste who dared to accept such a thing, and this lowly maid who betrayed her master!

The queen mother stared nervously at the sword in Fu Pingye's hand, for fear that he would shake his hand and ruin Zhao Wenjin's life.

The queen mother immediately said: "You bastard! Why did you do such a thing, why don't you kneel down and apologize to Ting Lan!"

As soon as Zhao Wenjin bent her knees, Fu Pingye's sword moved forward, and she was so frightened that she dared not move at once.

Seeing the impatient expression on Fu Pingye's face, he couldn't even cry.

Fu Pingye glanced at the queen mother, suddenly laughed, and said lazily, "Why is the queen mother so nervous, Gu is not going to kill her."

The queen mother breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, "Yuan Ting, you let her go, the Ai family will teach her a good lesson, and I will definitely give Xie Tinglan an explanation!"

The queen mother looked at Xie Tinglan, "Tinglan, don't persuade the prince! Even if you have a grudge with Changle, do you really have the heart to see her blood splatter on the spot?"

Xie Tinglan looked at her obediently and said, "Your Majesty will obey your Highness."

"you!"

Fu Pingye cut off the Queen Mother's words impatiently, "If Gu wants to kill her, no one can stop Gu."

The Empress Dowager licked her lips, she understood what Fu Pingye meant, and this was to be resolved on the spot, without giving her a chance to delay.

The Empress Dowager sat down on the chair and said after a while, "What do you want?"

"It's nothing. It's just that Zhao Wenjin has a predestined relationship with Buddhism, so I helped her cut off this trouble, so that she can be with Buddhism." Fu Pingye suppressed his smile, looked at Zhao Wenjin expressionlessly, and opened his lips and said: "I only want you to repay the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng for the rest of your life."

Zhao Wenjin was so angry that he fainted and fell to the ground.

The sword in Fu Pingye's hand moved down slowly, reaching in front of her, and he looked back at the queen mother slowly, "What do you think?"

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Just, just do as you said..."

"Come here. Find a pair of scissors." Fu Pingye ordered without haste.

The queen mother clenched her teeth, watching Zhao Wenjin's black hair being cut, blood clenched from the palm of her hand.

Her hard work of more than ten years——was ruined in one fell swoop! !
Wei's group were all silent in shock, Xie Shuhui's heartbeat was especially fast, almost jumping out of her throat.

She is very lucky now, fortunately she found Zhao Wenjin as a shield, otherwise she would be the one whose hair was twisted to be the sister-in-law now!
After Zhao Wenjin became completely bald, Fu Pingye let her go with satisfaction.

The queen mother couldn't stand it any longer, and got up to leave, but Fu Pingye said slowly from behind: "Since she has become a monk, she is no longer a member of the Zhao family. Please let the queen mother tell the Zhao family and remove her from the family tree." Xinshan sent her off for the last time, someone will send her to the nunnery tomorrow, don't bother the Queen Mother."

The empress dowager's shoulders trembled angrily, and she left without looking back.

After returning to the wing room, the queen mother sat motionless on the couch, as if in trance.

Chun An carefully served a cup of tea, but did not dare to make a sound, and looked at the Queen Mother after a while, only to find that she was crying angrily.

Chun An hurriedly found a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Queen Mother...don't be like this, calm down..."

The Empress Dowager's eyes were closed tightly, tears were streaming down her face, and her fingers were clenched into fists.

"The painstaking efforts of the Ai family for more than ten years! It's all in the hands of that bastard Fu Pingye!"

Chun An thought about it and said: "The county lord... Cousin girl is just confused for a while, my lady, don't worry, there may be a turning point in this matter, my lady will go back and beg the emperor, maybe the emperor will take it easy—"

"That bastard did such a shameless thing! If Ai's family begs for mercy, the emperor won't turn against Ai's family!"

Is it because the queen mother loves Zhao Wenjin?Of course not, what she feels distressed about is the pawn that she has worked so hard to cultivate for more than ten years, and one trick was eaten.

"Asshole! Asshole!"

Compared with Fu Pingye, the Empress Dowager hated Zhao Wenjin even more. Her eyes were fierce and she gritted her teeth and said, "Ai's family will return to Beijing soon! Zhao Wenjin will no longer be a county lord in the future, and the Zhao family does not have such a daughter!"

Harugi lowered his head timidly.

After the empress dowager got angry, she gradually calmed down, thinking about what happened just now, and a face appeared indifferently watching the show from the beginning to the end.

She didn't add fuel to this matter, but it was caused by her.

The crown prince is protecting her like this at this moment, how can he know if the person he puts in will still have the possibility of being in power after getting married.

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes.

Xie Tinglan... really can't stay!

But get rid of her, the prince will go crazy again...

It would be fine if the marriage didn't work out.

The queen mother rubbed her temples tiredly.

Zhao Wenjin is stupid, so he doesn't know how to keep it secret, if it is successful, now he can't steal the chicken and send himself to the temple.
