After the divorce, my ex-uncle fell in love with me crazily

Chapter 278 His heart is inexplicably tight

Seeing him coming, everyone was startled and hurriedly knelt down, "See the emperor."

Concubine Xian stepped forward with an ugly expression, "Your Majesty, something happened just now."

"What's the situation?" The emperor lowered his face.

Seeing this, Concubine Xian immediately knelt down and said with self-reproach: "There is a noble lady who pushed another noble lady into the water, causing that noble lady to faint. The concubine did not do her job well, and I ask the emperor to lower her responsibility." .”

The emperor said impatiently: "You get up first."

Concubine Xian had no choice but to stand up.

"Where is the lady who caused the trouble?" The emperor's majestic gaze swept over everyone present.

Everyone knelt on the ground, trembling.

"There." Concubine Xian pointed to the side.

The emperor looked over and saw that in the gazebo, Wan Run was supporting a girl, comforting something. The girl was wrapped in a cloak, and her head and face were covered with water.

The emperor frowned, but before he could say anything, Qi Yan, who was standing aside, suddenly strode towards the pavilion.

"Tao Lian?" Qi Yan looked at the girl supported by Wan Run in surprise, not understanding how she made herself like this.

Tao Lian was at a loss at this time, and was very flustered.

Hearing the familiar voice, she raised her head hastily, and when she met the prince's dark but concerned eyes, she was like a drowning person, grabbing driftwood, and subconsciously grabbed his sleeve, " Your Royal Highness, the courtier did not push Xu Ying, it was really not me who pushed..."

"Don't worry, what's going on, tell me carefully, Gu, Gu is in charge of you." Qi Yan couldn't help but put his hand on her shoulder and patted her gently comfortingly.

Hearing this, Tao Lian said with a choked voice: "At that time, Xu Ying and Lin Qingru and I were standing by the pond to admire the lotus. After a while, Lin Qinggu was going to go to the toilet and left. Only Xu Ying and I were still there. Standing there, not knowing what was going on, Xu Ying screamed and suddenly fell into the pool.

Before she passed out, she asked me why I pushed her, but I didn't push her..."

Maybe it was explained too many times, so when it came to the end, Tao Lian's voice was a little weak.

"Is there anyone nearby?" Qi Yan asked.

Tao Lian shook his head, "There is no one, that place is relatively secluded."

"Then why are you wet all over, and you fell too?" Qi Yan asked with a frown.

"After Xu Ying fell into the pond, she also jumped down, and she rescued Xu Ying." This time, it was Wan Run who answered for Tao Lian, "When we heard the sound of someone falling into the water, we rushed over , happened to see Tao Lian jumping down to save someone, and after she rescued him, the girl from the Xu family asked her why she pushed her.

It was also because of her questioning that everyone believed that Tao Lian was the one to push. "

After hearing this, Qi Yan probably understood the cause and effect of the matter.

Seeing that he was silent, Tao Lian clenched his sleeves tightly, "Your Highness, the servant did not push anyone, she fell down by herself..."

Qi Yan looked down at her little hand clutching his sleeve, paused, then looked up at her, "Well, I believe you."

Hearing this, Tao Lian held back the tears for a long time, rolling down in a rustle.

So many people, except for Wan Jieyu and the prince, no one believed her at all. Even Lin Qingru, who was relatively close on weekdays, believed that she had recommended Xu Ying.

At this time, the prince said, "I believe in you", which moved her very much.

The prince is really a good person, and so is Wan Jieyu.

In Qi Yan's impression, Tao Lian had always been a very happy and carefree girl, the first time he saw her cry, his heart tightened inexplicably, and the hands under his sleeves also tightened unconsciously.

"Tao Lian, don't cry, the prince and I believe in you and will help you decide." Wan Run comforted softly, and took a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"Father!" Qi Yan said suddenly at this moment.

Wan Run was taken aback, then looked up, and saw a bright yellow figure standing outside the pavilion, it was the emperor.

I don't know how long he has been here.

She paused, pulled Tao Lian to stand up and saluted together, "I have seen the emperor."

The emperor glanced at her, walked in, his eyes fell on Tao Lian, and after looking at her for a moment, Fang asked, "Are you the fifth girl of the Tao family?"

"It's the minister's daughter." Tao Lian replied immediately, she had just cried, her voice was still a little choked.

"Then Xu Ying, you really didn't push it?" the emperor asked.

"It's really not, my servant didn't have a reason to push her." Tao Lian frowned, feeling very wronged, she jumped into the water to save her immediately, "If my servant pushed her, why should I save her?" she?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, "You jumped down to save her to remove the suspicion."

"But the truth is, the court lady didn't get rid of her suspicions because of this, and she even caused a mess." Tao Lian raised the back of his hand and wiped away his tears, feeling very sad, "If I did it, I can just stand by and let her, let her If she sinks, won't she die without symptoms?"

Speaking of the latter, her voice dropped.

The emperor looked at her in surprise, but he didn't expect this little girl to be soft and sticky, but her reaction was quick.

This girl from Tao Mansion is quite smart.

Appreciation appeared in the emperor's eyes, and he looked at Wan Run and Qi Yan, "Why do you believe that she didn't push people based on her one-sided words?"

Naturally, Wan Run couldn't say that she believed Tao Lian because she knew Tao Yao's younger sister. She replied: "The concubine just thinks that if she wants to harm others, she can use other methods. It's stupid, and it can be seen right away."

The corner of the emperor's lips twitched, and he said with great interest: "Then if it's Wan Jieyu, how can she harm someone?"

"Chenqie..." Wan Run stopped the conversation in time, and said with a serious face, "Chenqie never has the intention of harming others, how does this concubine know?"

The emperor took a deep look at her, and said unhurriedly: "Just suppose, if it is you, what would you do?"

Wan Run glanced at him, "Your Majesty, you can ask someone else, you don't need to catch the concubine alone?"

The emperor smiled, and really didn't ask her any more, but looked at Qi Yan, "Why does the prince believe that Miss Tao Wu didn't push her away?"

Qi Yan paused for a moment, then replied: "Do you still remember what my father said just now in the imperial study? The candidate for the crown prince in my son's mind is Miss Tao Wu.

And just as Wan Jieyu said, if Tao Lian wants to harm others, she can use other methods. She is so smart, if she is harmful to others, how can she use such a stupid method to put herself in a disadvantageous situation? "

The emperor was stunned, "Who is the crown princess?"

"Father, please fulfill me!" Qi Yan knelt down on one knee.

"Have you identified it as her?" the emperor asked again.

"Yes." Qi Yan nodded without hesitation.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "In that case, I agree."

Tao Lian froze in place, looking at Qi Yan inexplicably.

What does prince mean?
Why did you choose her as the princess?

This turn of events is not too strange.

A moment ago, everyone believed that she was the murderer who pushed Xu Ying...
