When I woke up, my whole family was in rebellion!

Chapter 7

A setback did not make Xie Lingyun give up.

The skirt that had been pressed to the bottom of the box was too plain and elegant, and it probably wasn't to Gu Xingzhi's taste.So she specially prepared several extremely luxurious dresses, which were sure to capture the prince's heart!

Originally, she was still looking for an opportunity, how could she approach Gu Xingzhi again.Unexpectedly, the emperor actually appointed him to take full charge of Lu Jinyi's case - God helped me!
"Good girl, I'll just ask a few words later, don't be nervous, just tell the truth."

The concubine accompanied the queen mother to Taiqing Temple to pray for blessings. Now in the palace, there are no female relatives who can take charge.So Duke Huai specially stayed here, worried that his daughter would be made things difficult later.

Xie Jingzhang originally invited friends to go fishing in the countryside, but when he heard that people from Dali Temple were coming, he also stayed at home to support his sister.

"I know."

Xie Lingyun went in and out of the room, not knowing what she was busy with.Xie Pi and Xie Jingzhang stood at the door, looking at each other, feeling that something was wrong.

After a while, there was only a tinkling sound - Xie Lingyun came out!
She was wearing a purple dress with wide sleeves and long sleeves. The hem of the skirt was like waves rippling as she walked, ethereal like a fairy.On the head is wearing a golden silk flower red bead swing, and the golden tassels hang down on both sides, which is dazzling.

And on her wrist, there is also a string of small golden bells, which jingle as she walks, so that people can see her at a glance.

"Sister, where are you going to have a banquet?"

Xie Jingzhang was stunned for a moment, especially the Bu Yao on Xie Lingyun's head that was about to go up to the sky, no amount of money could take it off.

It's so grand, where are you going to mess things up?

Xie Lingyun gave him an angry look, "Don't I always dress up like this?"

"But it's not so exaggerated... Ah!" Xie Jingzhang covered his arms and looked at Xie Pi behind him in shock, "Father, what are you pinching me for?!"

"If you don't know how to talk, just talk less." Xie Pie slapped him to the side and approached with a smile, "My dear girl, you look so good-looking, where are you going?"

Xie Lingyun heard the word "good-looking", straightened her cuffs, smiled slightly, "I'm not going anywhere, just stay at home."

"what?"

Thankfully, I didn't realize what my daughter meant by this.Is it because you are bored at home, so you dress up to relieve boredom?

That's right, because of Lu Jinyi's incident recently, no one in the banquet capital dared to hold any kind of Lao Shizi's banquet.

Not to mention the Flower Appreciation Conference, those outings in the suburbs of the poetry conferences in the past are gone now.

When Xie Pie looked at his daughter, he immediately became fond of her.In the past, Xie Lingyun liked to attend these kinds of meetings the most, and every time she had to dress up beautifully, showing off the crowd.

Now that there is no chance to show off, can't he just enjoy himself alone at home?
"My lord, the people from Dali Temple have arrived."

Xie Pi's complexion changed, he exchanged a glance with Xie Jingzhang, and then went to the front yard first.When Xie Lingyun heard that the people from Dali Temple had arrived, she was overjoyed, "He Xiang, come on, help me there!"

Her Fairy Dress was specially custom-made, and a layer of gauze as thin as a cicada's wings was added to the hem of the skirt, which fluttered slightly when she walked, making it more agile and light.

It's just that the beading on her head is too heavy, especially to show her wealth, she also added a golden crown of precious trees on her head, and the red gemstones just adorned her forehead, making her face even fairer.

When she finally came back with He Xiang's support, she only saw a group of people in black clothes standing in the main hall, presumably they belonged to Dali Temple.

Standing at the front was Gu Xingzhi in a golden python robe, with impatience in his brows, silently confronting Xie Pi.

"My minister sees the princess!"

He Wei, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was the first to see Xie Lingyun.When he saluted, there was still a hint of urgency, after all, if the princess didn't come, the third prince would rush in and arrest him!
"Master He, you don't need to be too polite."

Xie Lingyun raised her hand slightly, and Duke Huai, who just wished to draw his sword against Gu Xingzhi, silently took a step back.

Seeing this, He Wei spoke more respectfully, "It's mainly about Lu Jinyi's case, there are still some doubts. I also ask the princess to cooperate with the investigation so that we can find out the truth as soon as possible."

"You yourself are incompetent, and you still want to blame my sister?"

Xie Jingzhang pursed his mouth angrily, and didn't pay attention to the people in Dali Temple at all.When I was about to say it again, I only felt a pain in my foot——

His good sister took a step back and stepped on his foot!
"Sister, sister?"

Xie Lingyun turned her head, and the face that was still smiling just now became fierce and fierce, and said two words silently, "Shut up!"

"Master He, just ask, the little girl will know everything."

After finishing speaking, he gently brushed his body towards Gu Xingzhi, "If Your Highness the Third Prince wants to ask anything, the little girl will definitely cooperate."

She had a look of interest in her eyes, but Gu Xingzhi turned a blind eye.On the contrary, He Wei dutifully asked, "Excuse me, princess, are you sure that the person you saw was Lu Jinyi?"

Of course, not sure.

With a smile on her face, Xie Lingyun tried to recall, "I was pushed into the water from behind by someone, and when I fell, I only saw a pink skirt with begonias embroidered on it."

And the only person who wore the begonia pattern that day was Lu Jinyi.

"But Ms. Lu insisted that she didn't push you into the water." Although He Wei looked respectful, he was actually observing Xie Lingyun's expression.

"It's too hasty to catch a glimpse, Princess, do you remember wrongly?"

The smile on the corner of Xie Lingyun's mouth dissipated instantly, "Master He, do you think I have slandered her?"

"Understood dare not!"

He said he didn't dare, but He Wei didn't really think so, the case was too strange, although according to the clues they investigated, Miss Lu was not innocent.

But the princess doesn't seem so innocent.

"How can you tell based on just a piece of skirt?" Gu Xingzhi didn't want to interfere at first, but this matter was thrown on his head, so naturally he couldn't ignore it.

"Now there is no physical evidence from anyone. It is just your one-sided statement. There is no way to convict."

Murdering the emperor's relatives is a felony. Lu Jinyi had already collapsed in prison, but he still insisted on refusing to plead guilty.The Xiangfu is also putting pressure on Dali Temple, so worried that Dali Temple Qing lost several strands of hair.

Now that he accepted the matter, he didn't intend to delay it any longer.

Whether the princess was killed innocently or deliberately framed, it has nothing to do with him.All he has to do is to find out the truth and close the case immediately!
"Third prince, are you doubting me?"

Xie Lingyun was so shocked that she took two steps back, the steps on her head shook accordingly, and the bell in her hand made a weak sound, expressing her astonishment to the extreme.

She first glanced at Gu Xingzhi hesitantly, then her eyes turned slightly red, she raised her hand to cover her face and said, "Forget it, since it's you, then I'll admit it too."

After finishing speaking, Shi Shiran walked up to He Wei, "Master He, maybe I made a mistake that day. Anyway, nothing happened to me, so just let Miss Lu go."

She was obviously wronged to the extreme, but what she said was extremely tolerant, "I don't want to embarrass the third prince, so, just like this..."
