After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

Chapter 245: Press to death!

call out--

Pei Chen clearly heard the sound of an arrow breaking through the air from behind him.

He dodged, and the assassins behind him chased after him.

Suddenly, Pei Chen stopped.

Those assassins didn't think much about it and were about to attack when they found that there were suddenly many more people around them.

It’s Pei Chen’s man!

These people directly attacked the pursuing assassins—

Pei Chen had more men and quickly gained the upper hand. After a fierce fight, all the assassins fell to the ground.

Before Pei Chen's men could catch the assassins, they had already fallen to the ground and died.

"My Lord." Someone came forward to check on the situation and said with a sullen face, "They're all dead."

Pei Chen's expression was grim as he glanced at the assassins. "It's dealt with."

"Yes." Some people quickly went to make arrangements, while others stayed with Pei Chen, "My Lord, you are injured!"

Pei Chen was originally wearing a black dress, and at this moment there was a darker spot on his shoulder.

Pei Chen raised his hand and touched it, his fingertips stained red, "It's okay."

He wiped the blood stains on his fingertips on another part of his clothes, then turned and headed towards the Prince's Mansion.

Pei Chen entered the Prince's Mansion and was quickly led to the main courtyard.

The quiet house that Xie Yao prepared for Xiao Ji was in the main courtyard. After dark, she was persuaded by Zhu Qing, Wei Chan and others to return to the main house.

After all, there are three days left, and Xie Yao can't stay outside all the time.

"Crown Princess, His Highness..." Pei Chen asked with concern.

Xie Yao said, "Don't worry, Your Highness will be fine." She said this to comfort Pei Chen and also to convince herself.

Pei Chen met Xie Yao's eyes, hummed, and suppressed all the worries in his heart.

This is not just because he believes in Xie Yao, it is also the intention and choice of His Highness.

His Highness had already told him that if anything happened to His Highness, he would have to follow the Crown Princess's arrangements.

Pei Chen nodded, "That's what the Crown Princess said."

Then he told Xie Yao what happened today and took out the evidence he had taken from the Lin residence of Duke Dingguo from his arms.

He had just received it and had not yet read it. Now the two of them just opened it and took a look, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Lin is worthy of being Mr. Lin. The whole bureau he left behind is very useful. It contains correspondence between the Lin family and Xiao Ning.

These evidences clearly point to Xiao Ning!

"Crown Princess." Pei Chen asked, "When will this evidence be submitted?"

"Early tomorrow morning." Xie Yao did not hesitate at all. The palace gate was locked at this moment, otherwise she would have said now.

Xiao Ning's repeated attacks on her children and Xiao Ji have seriously touched her bottom line.

This time... she won't hold back at all!

She was just trying to push Xiao Ning to death!

In this way, Xiao Ning could also feel that His Highness really couldn't hold on this time, and that she had lost her mind due to anger.

"Yes." Pei Chen put the letter away and nodded immediately, "I will follow the Crown Princess's orders."

After finishing his business, Pei Chen looked at Xiao Ji's closed door again before getting up and leaving the Prince's Mansion.

After leaving the Prince's Mansion, he did not return to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, but went straight to the Zhao family.

Tuk Tuk.

There was a knock on the window. Zhao Ying, who was still calculating accounts in the room, looked over immediately. She stood up, walked to the window and opened it, "Pei Chen..."

Zhao Ying had just opened her mouth when, after seeing the situation of the people outside the window, the smile on her face froze slightly and her originally raised eyebrows turned into worry.

At this moment, Pei Chen's black clothes had several tears in them, and his handsome face was stained with a hint of red.

Zhao Ying asked, "Are you injured?"

Pei Chen lowered his eyes slightly, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and said: "It's just a minor injury, it hurts a little, but it doesn't hurt when I see Yingying."

These words deeply moved Zhao Ying!

"Pei Chen, come in quickly." Zhao Ying stepped aside and waited for Pei Chen to climb in through the window. She immediately closed the window.

She pulled Pei Chen to the table and sat down. Seeing the darker clothes on his shoulders, she started to act without saying a word...

"Yingying, don't..." Pei Chen reached out and held Zhao Ying's hand, his expression slightly innocent.

Zhao Ying frowned, "What else? I'll apply medicine for you."

Zhao Ying put the account book on the table aside, took out a homemade medicine box from the side, and regardless of Pei Chen's resistance, she directly cut open his clothes with scissors!

Pei Chen's sturdy shoulders were exposed, and there was a cut on his wheat-colored skin. The cut was slightly long but not deep, and a lot of blood was seeping out.

Zhao Ying's eyes immediately turned red, and she looked at Pei Chen distressedly, "Does it hurt?"

Pei Chen's eyes flickered, he felt guilty and moved. Such an injury was naturally a piece of cake for him.

How could he feel pain again?

He came to find Zhao Ying on purpose because he wanted Yingying to feel sorry for him.

But looking at Zhao Ying's performance at this moment, Pei Chen couldn't help but feel guilty and a little sorry for Yingying...

"It doesn't hurt!" Pei Chen answered firmly.

Zhao Ying felt even more distressed and glared at Pei Chen, "Don't try to comfort me. The injury is so serious, how can it not hurt?"

Pei Chen's heart softened immediately.

He held Zhao Ying's hand, wanting to speak but not knowing where to start. His eyes were filled with emotion, "Yingying..."

"Don't move." Zhao Ying warned, then began to gently wipe Pei Chen's wound, blew on it, and then applied medicine carefully.

The candlelight in the room was warm, and the dim warm light sprinkled on Zhao Ying's profile, outlining the contours of her serious and focused eyebrows.

Pei Chen felt his heart at peace as never before. He murmured softly, "Yingying."

"Hmm?" Zhao Ying raised her eyes and fell into his deep eyes, which were focused and single-minded, clearly reflecting her appearance.

Pei Chen's throat rolled, "Can I hug you?"

The two of them were already an engaged couple who had been granted marriage, and they had kissed and hugged each other before, but at this moment... Pei Chen asked this question.

It even seems a little weird.

Zhao Ying took the initiative to reach out and gently hug Pei Chen. Her movements were gentle and her embrace was warm.

Pei Chen reached out and hugged her, feeling like he was hugging his whole world.

……

The next morning, just after the morning court session.

As soon as the ministers finished their salute, Pei Chen strode forward, knelt upright in the Golden Palace, and held the evidence high in his hand.

He said in a clear voice, "Your Majesty, the Lin family of the former Duke Dingguo Mansion has confessed their guilt and revealed that the mastermind behind the illegal manufacture of weapons is undoubtedly the eldest princess Xiao Ning."

"Lin Liye's confession and the correspondence between the Lin family and the eldest princess are all here. Your Majesty, please review them."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent!

Everyone looked at Pei Chen, and the ministers who were originally a little drowsy woke up instantly.

What? What is Pei Chen talking about?

What happened today? Such shocking news broke so early in the morning...

The entire Golden Palace fell into an eerie silence.

A young eunuch reacted quickly, trotting all the way to Pei Chen, took the evidence from Pei Chen's hand, and respectfully handed it to Li Dajian, who then delivered it to the emperor.

The emperor did not open the letter immediately, but looked at Pei Chen with a serious gaze for a long time before taking the letter and reading it.

Pei Chen...well done.

After reading the contents of the letter, the emperor's face darkened...

The content of this letter was exactly what Pei Chen said. How many things had his good daughter done behind his back?

The last secret deal between Xiao Ning and Song Wenbo had already made him suspicious, and he put Xiao Ning under house arrest.

He also asked Li Dajian to investigate, but before the results came out, Pei Chen gave him such a big surprise!

He is truly his good subject!

Pei Chen had never revealed a single word about such a big thing before.

At this moment, the court officials in the court finally reacted and began to discuss in low voices. Of course, some people immediately stepped forward to defend Xiao Ning.

There are endless disputes.

But Xiao Ning, one of the parties involved, was still outside the Yangxin Palace at this moment.

She stayed outside the Yangxin Palace all night last night. The emperor's hesitation was a good sign, after all, it meant that the emperor was considering how to deal with the matter.

Hesitation is due to soft-heartedness.

Xiao Ning still felt quite confident. Her father had truly loved her since she was little, and she also had her mother...

At this moment, a figure came hurriedly, not caring about being exposed, and whispered to Xiao Ning what happened today.

Xiao Ning's expression instantly turned ugly, "Where are the people I arranged?"

The messenger immediately lowered his head and whispered, "Your Highness, those assassins you arranged for the Lin family are dead... all dead."

"Waste!" Xiao Ning cursed.

A bunch of trash!

She had clearly attacked the Lin family several times and had arranged people in the Lin family in advance, but so many people... were defeated by Pei Chen.

If she had succeeded in her scheme against Pei Chen, then now...

Xiao Ning said with a sullen face, "It seems they are determined to go against me."

But this also means that Pei Chen is anxious.

Could it be that someone really did something to Xiao Ji after she attacked him? And Pei Chen and Xie Yao blamed this on her, so...

Thinking of this, Xiao Ning's expression became even uglier.

Xiao Ning didn't think much about it and immediately made a backup plan, "Send someone out of the palace and back to the princess's residence immediately..."

Originally, she wanted to wait for the emperor to soften his heart, but after something like this happened, it was impossible for him to be softened.

The private manufacture of weapons is a crime tantamount to treason!

Even if the emperor would be soft-hearted, the civil and military officials would not let it go. No one has come to arrest her yet. I'm afraid that the people in the Golden Palace are still arguing about how to deal with her!

Hearing Xiao Ning's order, the young eunuch did not dare to delay and immediately stood up and left in a hurry.

He did not leave the palace by himself, but changed direction to look for someone else.

There was a deserted area outside the Yangxin Palace. The news that he came to deliver a message to Her Royal Highness the Princess could not be concealed. The fact that he was Her Royal Highness the Princess's man had been exposed, and he would definitely die.

The only thing he could do was to pass on Her Royal Highness the Princess's instructions before he died.

Xiao Ning guessed correctly.

Not long after the young eunuch left, a Jinwu Guard came towards her and said in a cold voice, "Princess, please."

These people did not take Xiao Ning to the Golden Palace, but took them directly to the Heavenly Prison.

This news spread throughout the capital at an extremely fast speed, causing an uproar throughout the city!

Prince's Mansion.

"Crown Princess, I just received news that the princess has been imprisoned in the Sky Prison." Zhu Qing reported in a low voice.

"Yeah." Xie Yao got up early today, also waiting for news on this matter. "Hasn't he said how to deal with it yet?"

"Yes." Zhu Qing whispered, "I heard that there has been endless debate in the court, but there has never been a definite answer. And..."

Zhu Qing hesitated and said, "Your Majesty seems to be... interested in replacing the presiding judge."

Pei Chen, the current presiding official, reported on the follow-up of the Lin family case, which is reasonable no matter how you look at it.

But even so, the emperor has objections?

Xie Yao just wanted to laugh in her heart. His Majesty's action...who is he dissatisfied with?

Seeing Xie Yao's surprised expression, Zhu Qing hurriedly tried to make amends, "Princess, please forgive me, this is just speculation. The presiding official has not been changed yet..."

Xie Yao said: "That's because we haven't found the right person."

Once this candidate is found, the emperor will immediately replace him.

"Cousin." Wei Chan also felt that something was wrong and couldn't help but whispered, "This..."

"No rush." ​​Xie Yao gave Wei Chan a soothing look, her gaze falling on the locked door.

Just change it.

The most important thing to her now is His Highness.

Now, not only the Prince's Mansion is discussing this matter, but every family and place in the capital is discussing it. Xiao Ning has become the focus of everyone's attention for a while.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, and on the table in front of him was the letter that Pei Chen had just presented today.

His face was cold and his eyes were deep. "What a coincidence."

Xiao Ji had just fainted yesterday, and today Pei Chen submitted a memorial, reporting that Xiao Ning was guilty of treason.

Li Dajian whispered, "Your Majesty, I have done some research and found that the Marquis of Zhenbei did spend the entire afternoon in the prison yesterday and had a long private conversation with Lin Liye."

"After leaving the prison, I went to the Lin family's old house. These letters were taken out from the old house. When the Marquis of Zhenbei left, he was assassinated."

"Zhenbei Hou was unfortunately injured. Fortunately, rescue came in time, but the assassins who tried to kill him were all assassins. Zhenbei Hou didn't capture them alive, and those assassins had already severed their own meridians and died."

Li Dajian spoke slowly and it sounded like he was telling a story.

The emperor listened and sneered again, "I have underestimated this daughter!"

I only knew that Xiao Ning might have ambitions, but I didn't expect him to go to this extent.

"Before, she insisted on marrying Pei Chen, and I thought she was doing it for the second son. But now it seems... the second son is just her pawn!"

The emperor sighed over this, and Li Dajian lowered his head and dared not speak.

A princess is a princess after all, a woman.

If a prince had caused such a thing, His Majesty would probably be furious, and would not just sigh.

Just as Li Dajian was thinking about this, he heard the emperor say, "I'm afraid the Crown Prince's coma this time... is definitely related to Xiao Ning!"

He is sure.

At this moment, the voice of the young eunuch came from outside the Yangxin Palace, "Your Majesty, Concubine Li requests an audience!"

Before the emperor could say anything, Concubine Li's voice rang out from outside, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to see you."

Princess Li...

A hint of coldness flashed in the emperor's eyes. "No."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Li's voice came again, "Ning'er is innocent. I beg Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter and clear Ning'er's name!"

The emperor was annoyed by what he heard and angrily said to Li Dajian, "She is a bad mother and I didn't take my anger out on her. How dare she plead for that evil creature?"

"Go out and tell her that if she pleads for that evil creature again, she will be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison together with him."

After these words were spoken, Concubine Li no longer dared to plead for mercy, and the scene outside the Yangxin Palace soon became quiet.
