Wishful Things

Chapter 42 Different

For example, the crown prince is weak and cannot live for too long, your Majesty has no children, and the concubines in the harem have not been born for many years. In order to stabilize the court and the people, one of the clan's children should be adopted as the crown prince in the future...

And in terms of closeness, Jing Wang and His Majesty are born of the same mother, Jing Wang's son may be one of the candidates.

Although these are statements that cannot be placed on the bright side, they are not impossible.

Could it be that the recent news of Concubine Rong's pregnancy made Prince Jing, who had hoped for it, lose his mind and act impulsively while drunk?

The officials were thinking in this way, just as the crown prince passed away suddenly, and seeing Prince Jing's uneasy and flustered appearance, the sad and angry civil servants expressed their thoughts speculatively.

Prince Jing became more and more panicked when he heard that.

He admitted...he once really hoped that the prince would die sooner!

The crown prince is dead, he might have a chance to replace him...

But this kind of hope is only limited to muttering a few words in my heart, and if I am bolder, I will burn incense and so on... I never thought of murdering the prince for this!

After all, who is alive, who doesn't have a dream?

It's like everyone is looking forward to picking up gold, but if you can't find it, you can't just think about killing people to grab it!

The heavens can learn from him, he is really just a dreamer, but he does not intend to take risks for this dream, he just waits firmly for the pie to fall from the sky, he is just an ordinary person daydreaming for short——

Under the watchful eyes of many people, King Jing's son defended hurriedly.

At this time, a forbidden soldier walked quickly.

"Bizhi found this jade pendant by the side of Fuyun Pool!"

Li Ji hurriedly took the jade pendant and presented it to Emperor Qingming.

Emperor Qingming's expression changed after only one glance.

The sample of this jade pendant can only be used by the descendants of the Xie family's clan——

Emperor Qingming looked at Prince Jing's empty waist, and restrained anger in his voice: "Xingchang, where is your jade pendant?"

Prince Jing subconsciously leaned towards his waist——

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

There was no trace of drunkenness or blood on Prince Jing's face, he knelt down with a plop, and said in great panic: "Your Majesty, someone must be trying to frame my nephew!"

Now, no matter how dull he is, he also realizes that someone set up a trap for him, to make him bear the death penalty of murdering the prince!

"Planting and framing..."

Emperor Qingming leaned on the relief on the chair handle, stood up slowly, pursed his lips for a moment, and said in a concentrated voice: "Of course I hope so too!"

"...I hope Your Majesty will find out the truth and return my nephew's innocence!" King Jing's son cried out with no manners, and said indiscriminately: "Before entering Beijing, my father asked me to keep my nephew safe, Don't cause trouble for His Majesty, my nephew has always kept it in mind, so how dare I do such a rebellious thing!"

He didn't dare to hide the slightest thing and said: "My nephew left the banquet earlier, but because he saw the beauty of the maid serving wine for my nephew, she frequently flirted with her nephew... My nephew was drunk and confused for a while, so he followed the maid. Went to the garden... but never saw His Highness at all!"

Now that I think about it, the jade pendant may not have been stolen by the palace lady when he was not prepared!

At first he didn't say anything about it, just for the sake of face and reputation, but now that his life is about to be lost, what's the point of losing face!

It's just that with all the personal and material evidence, this statement now seems like a sophistry lie.

Emperor Qingming believed how much he believed, looked at him and said: "It wasn't you who did it, I will never allow anyone to slander and instigate, if you did it, I will not be soft-hearted! Someone, take Prince Jing down here and strictly Take extra care, until the matter is found out, you are not allowed to leave the palace for half a step—"

Xu Mingyi watched this scene, his eyes changing.

The Prince Jing of the previous life should have been strictly guarded because of this, and within a few days, news spread that the other party confessed to murdering the prince...

Now that he has "confessed personally", all the next steps are naturally taken for granted.

However, now she gradually feels that Prince Jing, who seemed guilty before, is just someone else's scapegoat.

In other words, the crown prince and King Jing's son were both in the calculations of the people behind them early in the morning.

If the prince really died, all of this would undoubtedly become an unsolvable mystery.

But now it's destined to be different——

Xu Mingyi really seemed to give up, pulling out the silver needles that had pierced the boy's body one by one.

After she pulled out the last silver needle, the boy's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he let out a very weak cough.

The forbidden army came forward to detain King Jing's son, but the people who were paying attention here did not notice this subtle voice.

However, Duke Zhen couldn't stand it and said in amazement: "His Royal Highness?!"

Everyone immediately gathered their attention.

The prince opened his eyes weakly with difficulty, and was momentarily dazed looking at the old face with a surprised expression that leaned forward.

"Xu... General Xu?"

"His Royal Highness is alive!"

Duke Zhen shouted excitedly.

"What……"

"The prince is awake?!"

All the people and officials in the palace were shocked, Emperor Qingming's pupils tightened, his expression lifted, and he strode over.

"Sheng'er!"

Several imperial physicians stepped forward in disbelief, carefully checked the prince's pulse again, and slowly helped him sit up.

"His Royal Highness!"

King Jing's son broke free from the imperial guards and rushed forward staggeringly, weeping with joy as he watched the 'resurrected' prince.

The prince looked at his cousin who was in a mess of tears and snot, and fell into a daze again - when did his relationship with the cousin become so good?

At this time, the cousin looked at him excitedly and earnestly, and said: "Your Highness, since you are awake, you should quickly explain it to His Majesty, so that I can be innocent!"

The prince was perplexed.

Li Ji recounted the general process on the side.

"..." Hearing these words, the crown prince gradually recalled the images before the accident. As he recalled, his face gradually became paler and more terrifying, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

Emperor Qingming stared at his son, and asked, "Cheng'er, tell Father, who harmed you? You can see clearly—"

Facing those loving eyes full of anger and majesty, the boy's trembling fingers tightened slightly, he opened his mouth, and said after a while: "Father...the one who pushed my son into the water was not my cousin... my son." Haven't seen my cousin tonight..."

There was an uproar all around.

...It's not about respecting the king's son!

Hearing this, Prince Jing's tense body suddenly went limp, and his already weak legs suddenly lost any strength, and immediately fell to the ground, really weeping with joy again.

Woohoo, his life was saved!

If the atmosphere didn't allow it, he really wanted to kowtow to the prince's cousin on the spot! ——This is so timely!

no, no...

The prince's cousin was just telling the truth, and the person he should thank more should be the girl who saved people!

Prince Jing looked at Xu Mingyi, and when he saw the girl's appearance clearly, he said gratefully from the bottom of his heart—the fairy is reincarnated!

"If it's not Shengchang, then who is it?" Here, Emperor Qingming continued to ask.

The prince tightly held the queen's sleeve, and slowly turned his head to look.
