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

Chapter 279 No one expected
The people standing outside the gazebo also heard the conversation between the prince and the emperor, and they were all envious and jealous.

Tao Lian came to his senses and hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, no."

The emperor looked at her in surprise, "Why not?"

"Because, because, because the courtier's daughter has not been cleared of suspicion, what if I am the one who pushed Xu Ying into the water? Wouldn't the crown prince want to marry someone with bad conduct?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Tao Lian pushed Xu Ying just now, how can such a person deserve to be a princess?"

Before the emperor could speak, an anxious voice cut in.

The emperor turned his head and looked, "Who are you?"

"The courtier's daughter is Qinggu, the daughter of the Lin family." After Lin Qinggu calmed down, she knelt down.

Hearing this, the emperor took a look at her, and his face became pale, "Tao Lian pushed Xu Ying, did you see it with your own eyes?"

Lin Qingru was startled and shook her head, "The courtier didn't see it, but when Xu Ying fell into the water, only Tao Lian was by her side, and before Xu Ying fell into a coma, she personally said that Tao Lian pushed her."

As she said that, she sighed, and looked at Tao Lian incomprehensibly, "Lian Lian, how could you do such a thing? Xu Ying's health is not good, and if she suffers like this now, won't she kill her?" ?”

Tao Lian frowned, "I didn't push her, I didn't push her..."

"If you do something wrong, it's useless to escape." Lin Qingru sighed, "That's a living human life."

Tao Lian was very uncomfortable hearing that, she didn't push Xu Ying, but Lin Qingru insisted that it was she who pushed Xu Ying, and she still said it so seriously.

Just as she was about to refute again, Qi Yan suddenly said: "Miss Lin, the matter has not been investigated clearly yet, you jump to conclusions like this, how can it make people feel like a thief shouting "stop thief?"

Lin Qingru was taken aback in her heart, but her face was puzzled, "Why did the prince say that?" After a pause, he continued, "It seems that the prince has taken a fancy to Tao Lian as the princess, so he wants to ignore the facts and excuse her .

Although the court lady is soft-spoken, she is also terrified, and wants to ask the emperor to report to the public to deal with the matter, to give Xu Ying justice, and not let the murderer go unpunished. "

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at Qi Yan and Tao Lian with scrutiny.

Could it be that the crown prince is really trying to excuse Tao Lian?
For a moment, this thought came to everyone's mind.

Qi Yan glanced over the crowd, and there was a coldness in his eyes, this Lin Qingru really would pour dirty water on people.

"Lin Qingru, where were you when Xu Ying fell into the water?" His voice was unhurried, without any panic.

"The courtier went to the toilet at that time." Lin Qingru said methodically.

"Oh, can someone prove it for you?" Qi Yan asked.

Lin Qingru's fingers under the sleeves were quietly clenched.

Of course not, because she didn't go to the bathroom...

"The latrine is not far away, so my daughter went there by herself."

The corners of Qi Yan's lips curled slightly, "So, no one can prove for you that when Xu Ying fell into the water, you went to the toilet."

"Even if no one testifies for my daughter, but my daughter did go to the toilet, and Xu Ying fell into the water, what does it matter if I go to the toilet or not?" Lin Qingru frowned.

"Of course there is a relationship, and it's a direct relationship, because you pushed Xu Ying into the water." Qi Yan said firmly.

Lin Qingru's complexion changed drastically, "Prince, how can you spout blood? Xu Ying was obviously pushed into the water by Tao Lian, how did she become pushed by a courtier? Even if you are the prince, you still have to give evidence when you speak.

Even if the courtier died, she would not take the blame for Tao Lian. "

Qi Yan sneered, "You also know that you need evidence, but since you have no evidence, how dare you say that Tao Lian pushed Xu Ying into the water?"

"Your servant is not talking nonsense. So many people present heard it. It was Xu Ying who was recommended by Tao Lian. It was Xu Ying who said it herself." Lin Qingru said loudly.

"Xu Ying was on the verge of fainting at that time, and her consciousness was blurred. How can what she said be taken as evidence?" Qi Yan said in a deep voice, "On the contrary, it is you who are the most suspicious.

When the incident happened, you said you went to the toilet, but no one could prove it to you. As far as I know, it was the first time you came to Taiye Pond. How did you find the toilet without the help of a palace official? ?
In other words, you didn't go to the toilet at all, but hid not far from where Xu Ying and Tao Lian were standing, and when the two were not paying attention, you went up quietly and pushed Xu Ying.

Xu Ying was only surrounded by Tao Lian, so she took it for granted that Tao Lian pushed her.

Your purpose is to get rid of Xu Ying and Tao Lian, but in fact, your plan to kill two birds with one stone is not very clever. "

At this moment, Lin Qingru panicked.

Why did the prince know so much, as if he was watching from the side at that time.

Thinking of this, her whole body felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, but at this point, she still managed to calm herself down.

"Prince, the courtiers don't understand what you mean, the courtiers have no grievances with them, why do you want to get rid of them?"

Others also looked at Qi Yan in puzzlement, even Wan Run didn't quite understand.

But the emperor understood, but he didn't make a sound.

Qi Yan pursed his lower lip, and said calmly: "For the position of Crown Princess!"

Lin Qingru's hands and feet were cold, but she still refused to admit it, "I don't understand what the prince means."

The emperor rubbed his brows, and said, "Okay, this matter has been settled. Feng Quan, go to Xuanlin Moyan to enter the palace, and ask him to come and take his daughter back in person."

"Yes." Feng Quan replied and went.

When Lin Qingru heard this, her face was as white as paper, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

The emperor glanced at her, "I originally wanted the prince to choose a suitable concubine from among the noble daughters of Xu, Tao, and Lin. If you don't cause trouble, maybe the prince will choose you, but you are so vicious. To do evil things like pushing people into the water and planting them on others, it seems that the Lin family really has no way to teach their daughters."

Hearing this, everyone finally understood.

It turns out that what happened just now was really caused by Lin Qingru.

She was ashamed to shout "stop the thief" and swear that it was Tao Lian's doing.

It's really vicious!
Tao Lian had also reacted, and looked at Lin Qingru in disbelief, "It's Xu Ying who pushed you, Lin Qingru, you are too much!"

When Lin Qingru heard this, she was irritated, and stared at her viciously, "If you don't do it for yourself, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth! You came into the palace today, and you are also rushing to be the crown princess?
Now that you have achieved your goal, you are very proud, aren’t you?
But you are just lucky, what qualifications do you have to be a princess? "

Tao Lian's eyes widened, and she looked at her in astonishment, as if he had known her for the first time, and he argued weakly, "I didn't..."

She had no idea that today's Lotus Appreciation Banquet was for the crown prince to choose a concubine.

What's more, I didn't expect that so many things would happen, and I didn't expect that the crown prince would choose her...
