Chapter 372 Crime
"Sang Luo, prepare the car, I want to go to the palace!"
Picking up the letter on the ground, Sang Luo looked at her solemnly, his brows furrowed. "Princess, we just injured the Third Prince at that critical moment. Have you forgotten how much trouble we went through to get out that day? Didn't you also say that I might not be able to enter the palace again? How could you forget so quickly?"
"Someone used the Crown Prince's words to lure me into the palace, saying that only I could save a life! Obviously, that life wasn't the Crown Prince's, but the Prince's!"
When Sang Luo heard that it was the prince, he was a little panicked.
But he was even more worried about Lu Xuan, so he hurriedly said, "Then I'll go find Uncle Zhong and ask him to prepare more people to protect us in secret!"
She grabbed Sang Luo who was about to run over and said in a deep voice, "No need, I can go alone."
"Alone?!" Sang Luo's pupils turned red with worry. "How can this be possible? What if I get into danger alone?!"
"This time, I think they want me, and they're deliberately using the prince to exchange for me. So as long as I go, the prince will be safe."
She suppressed her panic and gave Sang Luo a confident smile, "Besides, I have my own profound skills, which will make it much easier for me to escape than the prince! You stay at the palace and wait for the prince to come back!"
There was a tremor in that smile. Sang Luo looked at her expression and was so troubled by these things that he stuttered when speaking. He didn't know what to say or what to do.
Stop the princess? But it's obvious that she has made up her mind, and the prince's life is at stake, he must be saved.
Don't stop her? But if the princess goes this time, what will happen? Even if the prince returns, if the princess is not there, the entire palace will probably be meaningless...
With tears in his eyes, Sang Luo was still lost in thought when someone tapped his arm harshly. "Why, you don't even want to prepare the car?"
"No, I'll go right away." Unable to make sense of what was going on, she could only run towards the carriage yard while crying.
She chose the most comfortable and spacious carriage that Jiang Xing had prepared for Lu Xuan in the carriage yard. She stood at the door and watched Lu Xuan step into it nimbly with a few steps, her heart tightening with anxiety.
The prince's life is at stake, but the princess is also in danger!
What should I do?
Before she could give her a few words of advice to be careful, the carriage had already sped out and was running on the street.
Two tears fell to the ground. Sang Luo turned around and saw that the palace was taking down the white banner that the princess had asked to be hung again a few days ago because of the death of Nanny Yu.
Yes, because Nanny Yu is gone, no one can persuade the princess anymore, and no one can make decisions for her.
If Nanny Yu were here, she would definitely give the princess the most appropriate answer to her reckless behavior.
Lu Xuan's carriage had a smooth journey. When it arrived at Taihe Gate, she asked Old Man Yuan to guard the door and entered the palace alone.
Today, the Jinwu Guards were particularly attentive, even bowing politely upon seeing her enter the palace. Compared to their previous practice of frequently blocking her entry or making excuses to her, this was a rare first.
His premonition grew increasingly ominous, and relying on his memory, Lu Xuan hurried towards the East Palace.
However, just as she walked outside Wenyuan Pavilion, the ground trembled slightly.
Taking action before reaching the Eastern Palace?
How is this going?
Lu Xuan looked up instantly, and in an instant, countless Jinwu Guards and Imperial Guards poured out from all directions like mud and sand entering the sea. She was like a lamb to be slaughtered, surrounded by a human-shaped formation composed of golden swords and iron shields.
"Princess Jin, you possessed sorcery and plotted to murder the Crown Prince and severely injured the Third Prince. After you left for the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince was poisoned. Your maidservant followed your orders to murder the Third Prince. You have committed such a heinous crime. Do you acknowledge your guilt?!"
A cold and deep voice sounded from outside the human-shaped shield, and the densely packed Jinwu Guards in front immediately made way.
The emperor led Pei Fan and approached from the outside with his hands behind his back. There was a strong and intense murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at her.
Lu Xuan looked behind the emperor, thinking she would see Jiang Xing. However, she looked left and right but could not see anyone, which made her even more anxious.
"Your Majesty, do you have any evidence to support your accusations of criminal activity against me? The Crown Prince was poisoned. It was clearly a deliberate act by you, the Empress, and the Third Prince, yet you place the blame and stigma on me, his aunt!"
"And the matter of the Third Prince being seriously injured? Last time, in front of His Majesty, I clearly explained the matter clearly. Even Zhao Qi had been beaten to death, yet now the Emperor is accusing me of instigating a maidservant. As the ruler of a country, do you really have the right to fabricate things, call a horse a zebra, and frame others at will?"
The emperor didn't expect Lu Xuan to be so ruthless to him. Not only was he not afraid, he even dared to talk back to him.
The anger in his heart suddenly rose up. "Lu Xuan, the Crown Prince has personally accused you of poisoning him, and the Prince of Anchang has also accused you of instigating the maid to commit the mutilation. Don't you want evidence? The Imperial Household Department has already recorded their testimony. Take a good look at it!"
After he finished speaking, Pei Fan handed over two lengthy petitions.
Lu Xuan took the testimony but did not read it. After a few ripping sounds, she tore up the testimony completely.
"Your Majesty, I dare you to take responsibility for your actions. Since you lured me here, you should have known the bargaining chips. To still bring out these far-fetched and fabricated things at this time is truly insincere!"
Since she has entered the game herself, the person the other party should bring out now is the prince, not these frivolous testimonies!
She had already realized that he came today just to take her life, and as for these sudden changes in his decision, it was just to give her death a name.
It is obvious whether the contents of these two testimonies were personally testified by the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, and who wrote them and where.
If you don't exchange her for the prince, and you want her to surrender with two thin pieces of testimony, and want to catch her and the prince in one fell swoop, no way!
If she admitted it now, she would really be dragging the prince into the water!
"Lu Xuan, don't be so stubborn!"
Seeing her tearing up the testimony so contemptuously, the emperor flew into a rage, "Who gave you the courage to be so presumptuous in front of me?"
He took two steps toward her with his hands behind his back, his sinister eyes filled with vicious calculations. "You have already offended my majesty. I'll give you a chance. As long as you die obediently, I won't implicate Prince Jin's Mansion in the crime of disrespect! If you truly don't know how to handle the current situation, then don't blame me. Besides your maids in Prince Jin's Mansion, I'll also punish Prince Jin for his negligence in disciplining you!"
Wait a minute……
Lu Xuan suddenly felt something was wrong.
What do you mean, even Prince Lian Jin is going to be punished for neglecting to discipline you?
Her heart skipped a beat and she looked up suddenly.
The big thing is bad!
The prince is not in their hands at all!
Now he was in trouble. He couldn't hold himself together and didn't do anything to save face, so he ended up falling out.
She chuckled dryly twice, but walked towards the emperor. "Your Majesty, if you want to accuse me of something, you can always find a pretext. If there is anything, I will take full responsibility. But I didn't do these things, so I can't admit it."
Seeing that she really cared about the people in Prince Jin's Mansion, the emperor finally felt relieved.
"Whether you admit it or not, you can't escape the charge of trespassing into the palace today!"
Isn't it just finding an excuse?
He is the emperor, he has the final say in everything, and he has a lot of excuses in his hands.
"Jiang Muyao..."
A gentle voice sounded, and Lu Xuan called him softly with the corner of her eyes raised.
The emperor was stunned, and suddenly looked at Lu Xuan, who had walked in front of him at some point and was only half a step away from him, with horror flashing in his eyes.
This voice was exactly the same as the one Lu Siyu used to call him before.
Lu Xuan's face in front of him overlapped with Lu Siyu's, making him stay where he was and forget to move.
At this moment, the emperor blinked, and suddenly, Lu Xuan in front of him disappeared without a trace.
She specifically walked close to the emperor so that she could use the only escape hatch behind him when he used the invisibility talisman.
Lu Xuan ran away, put on an invisibility talisman, and bought himself half an hour.
Running out of the palace should be enough.
However, what Lu Xuan didn't expect was that before she could completely escape the encirclement, a sharp and thin needle had broken through the wind and rushed to her forehead, and she suddenly became unable to move.
