Six years after the suspended animation, the father of the cub caught up with him

Chapter 228 The Emperor Arrives

"What's your opinion?"

The Empress Dowager's face was obviously very impatient, but seeing that Yan Lian was the prince of another country, she still responded.

Yan Lian slowly got up at this time.

"Empress Dowager, do you really think Xiang Shizi was murdered by Aunt Hu?" He asked back.

"She killed Zhang'er to avenge her sister. There is a good reason for killing Zhang'er. Could it be that the Ninth Prince wants to defend her?"

The Empress Dowager's face turned cold instantly.

Immediately afterwards, she asked someone to bring Hu Yi up.

At the same time, she also called Nan Xu and Xiang An in.

He glanced at Hu Yi, who was thrown on the ground, covered in injuries, even with blood on his face, his eyes flashed with satisfaction.

As long as the Queen Mother believes that the person was killed by Aunt Hu, then all this will be easy to handle.

Both Xu Wang and Xiang Junwang are here, how should he deal with it?
Yan Lian was very anxious, but he still had to pretend to be calm.

"Empress Dowager, I'm not trying to acquit Aunt Hu. I just don't understand something. Xiang Shizi died by hanging. He was not poisoned during the autopsy, so someone hanged him while he was alive. On the rope. Dare I ask Aunt Hu, who has such a petite body, and she has no martial arts, how did she hang such a big man on the rope?"

When he said these words, the queen mother's face changed.

But at this time, Nan Leshi said slowly: "Didn't you say that you used the man-eating Gu? You didn't die at all when you hanged yourself. She used the man-eating Gu to turn people into a pile of bones."

Hearing this, Yan Lian's eyelids twitched violently.

Nan Leshi even knew about man-eating Gu, I'm afraid she has been paying attention to this matter and staring at them all the time.

Also, if she hadn't been staring at them all the time, she wouldn't have been able to rush into the princess mansion in such a short time, and then take Aunt Hu away.

"A pile of bones? Could it be something wrong with Zhang'er's body?"

Xiang An yelled at this time, he deliberately showed grief, and then choked up and said: "Zhang'er, it's my father's inability to protect you, it's my father's fault, wait, my father will go down to accompany you soon gone."

He looks so good!

If he didn't know that Xiang Zhang might not be dead, Yan Lian felt that he might be confused by Xiang An now.

"Ping'er, what's going on?" The Empress Dowager turned her head and asked Nan Leshi sternly.

Nan Leshi hastened to speak righteously about Xiang Zhang's fact that he had turned into a pile of bones.

Seeing that the queen mother was about to get angry, Yan Lian hurriedly said again: "Young mother, listen to me to continue. The princess and I have repeatedly confirmed with the housekeeper and servants of the county palace. They all said that when the prince was rescued from the rope, he was Dead. How can he be killed by man-eating Gu now? You know, man-eating Gu can only harm the living."

"Could it be that the servants of Xiangjun Palace have misread it?" Nan Leshi asked in a cold voice.

She seemed determined to push this matter onto Hu Yi.

But Yan Lian responded in a hurry: "Why doesn't Princess Leshi think about it, maybe she lied to the servants of the county prince's mansion? Or the person who died was not Xiang Shizi at all!"

"Presumptuous! Zhang'er is dead, how can you make fun of him here? Ninth Prince, if you continue to do this, don't blame the Ai family for disregarding your status and punishing you!" The Queen Mother angrily yelled.

After warning Yan Lian, she immediately looked at Hu Yi with cold eyes.

"You bastard, you are so brave, you dare to murder the prince. Someone, chop off ten of Aijia's fingers, and beat her to death with sticks." She ordered angrily.

This old woman is really cruel.

Yan Lian was very anxious, and he wanted to stop him, but he didn't know what to do for a while.

At this moment, Jiang Yu who was behind him came over.

She spoke coldly to the queen mother: "Before coming to Nanduan, the daughter of the people, I heard that the queen mother is a kind-hearted, fair person who can distinguish right from wrong, but seeing you today, the rumors are not true. The queen mother is interrogating a person Before that, could you ask her why she did this, whether you didn't know about Xiang Shizi's killing of so many innocent women, or did you pretend not to see it?"

As he spoke, Jiang Yan's tone became extremely angry.

She was questioning the queen mother on behalf of Hu Yi's sister and those innocent female soldiers who died.

what?
Hearing Jiang Yan's words, many people froze in place.

They never imagined that she would be so courageous to question the Queen Mother.

"Okay, that's great, a little girl dares to question Aijia like this. Someone, let Aijia tear her mouth off!"

The queen mother gritted her teeth and gave the order.

The old lady next to her rushed over immediately.

When Yan Lian saw this, he had a terrible headache.

But he would never watch something happen to Jiang Yu.

Taking a deep breath, he immediately stood in front of Jiang Yan, and then said in a cold voice, "Empress Dowager, Jiang Yan just told the truth, why are you so angry?"

"Ninth Prince, it seems that you really want to leave your life in Nanduan Kingdom?" the Queen Mother said gloomily.

"If the Empress Dowager insists on killing innocent people in disregard of the truth today, then she should kill Yan Lian too." Yan Lian straightened her back and said expressionlessly.

"Hmph, I don't know how to live or die, drag them all down to be beaten to death by the Ai family with a round stick. If the Yan Kingdom asks, the Ai family has their own way to deal with it!" The queen mother continued to order angrily.

Just when the atmosphere was tense to the extreme, there was a coughing sound at the door.

Immediately afterwards, Nan Li was helped in by the palace servants.

There was a sick look in his eyebrows and eyes, but that aura was hard to underestimate.

"Why did the prince have the time to come to Ai's house today?" The queen mother glanced at him indifferently, and then said quietly.

She couldn't afford to like Nan Li at all.

Nan Li didn't care about her dislike, he walked forward slowly, and then said in a low voice: "Nan Li has seen the emperor's grandmother. I heard that the emperor's grandmother murdered Xiang Shizi in your palace, so I came to see .”

"Come and see? You want to intervene in this matter, right? Prince, your hand is long enough." The queen mother sneered.

At this time, Nan Xu walked forward quickly, and he said in a sincere tone: "Don't be angry with the queen mother, the prince just wants to share your worries. Prince, do you think so?"

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Nan Li.

Looking up, meeting Nan Xu's kind eyes, Nan Li just wanted to sneer.

As expected, Uncle Xuhuang was "kind" as always, but they all knew that he was the most poisonous snake in the entire Nanduan Kingdom.

Nan Li didn't want to talk nonsense with them, he continued to look up at the Queen Mother, and then said softly: "As for Xiang Zhang, the murderer is not the one you arrested."

"The crown prince also came to stop the Ai family? Is this Aunt Hu a kind of coquettish woman who actually asks all of you to speak for her? The more you prevent the Ai family from killing her, the Ai family will definitely do it!"

The queen mother sneered, and then planned to continue to order.

But at this time, there was a voice outside, "The emperor is here!"
