Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 396
Chapter 396 Asylum
Everyone was stunned for a while. Seeing that the guards were kneeling, many people followed suit. Qi Delong looked at everyone and was extremely angry. He was at least an emperor! Why are these unruly people undisciplined now? He actually didn’t put him in his eyes! If he hadn’t heard of the commotion here, why would he and the Dali Temple’s Qing have come here to receive such humiliation!
Qi Chengfeng carried Su Wanwan in his carriage and glanced at Qi Delong with tears streaming down his eyes. He raised his head to look at the azure sky and said, “May I ask what Royal Brother’s country is doing?” Is it for evidence? Then hurry up and show me the evidence! This king can easily find out the suspicions to break through. This king does not want the princess to die in this prison carriage, and this king does not want the majority of the people to be displaced! This king can’t! ”
Qi Delong only felt that his chest was blocked. He came here to “convince the crowd”! He really did bring some evidence! The Dali Temple’s Qing also came and slowly walked out from behind him. He held the sharp saber and other items in his hand and said, “Prince Lian, this official went to investigate the former Emperor’s Bedroom Hall and found evidence. This …”
“Pa!” The monk shut his mouth and a leaf of vegetables slapped his face. Everyone said angrily, “We don’t believe that His Highness Prince Lian would be so vicious! He’s always been very gentle!”
“That’s right! And even if you kill the previous emperor, so what? The previous emperor has been on the throne for more than twenty years and has no achievements! He even sold his land and owed us a debt! You are also selling your land now. Are you trying to impose a high tax on us if you can’t get the money? Do you want us to live?”
“…”
The sound of questioning and wailing shook the heavens and earth. Qi Delong felt his ears hurt and he looked at the crowd for a long time without saying a word.
Qi Delong had no idea why Qi Chengfeng had killed the previous Emperor so naturally! Moreover, they were supported by everyone! Qi Delong was even wondering if everyone would still support him if he told the people of the world that Qi Delong had killed the previous emperor.
Qi Delong wanted to do this, but he didn’t dare. He felt that the people would definitely say that he was ruthless and vicious!
When two people did the same thing, the effects were different. Naturally, the repercussions were also different. Why did Qi Chengfeng have such ability? Qi Delong was very jealous and shouted in his heart, “Qi Chengfeng, I will definitely kill you!”
Seeing Qi Delong’s unsightly expression, the Dali Temple’s minister was about to say something else, but the vegetable leaf still smashed into his face and immediately shut up, fearing that someone would suddenly throw rotten eggs into his mouth.
Qi Chengfeng looked at the people outside and looked around. “Everyone, don’t be angry! Thank you for trusting this king! But … this king is a shameless person! This king wants fame! This king will definitely testify for myself!”
Everyone looked at each other, and then put down the vegetable leaves and rotten eggs in their hands. Some people were very distressed by the vegetable leaves. This was something they took to the city gate to cook for the people of Beichuan Fengliu to eat for the refugees!
“Dali Temple’s Qing! Hurry up and tell me! You must be fair! If you are unfair, we will teach you a lesson!” Someone shouted.
“You guys!” The sound of mosquitoes and flies came from the mouth of the Dali Temple’s Qing. He felt that he was the one who was unreasonable. However, his status as the Dali Temple’s Qing should have been high. Why was he still trampled on by everyone?
Dali Siqing was very aggrieved and was still thinking about what to do. However, when he heard Qi Delong’s urging voice, he said to the Evidence, “This knife was used by Prince Lian. I found Prince Lian’s fingerprints on it. Secondly …”
“May I ask which finger’s fingerprint is it?” Qi Chengfeng asked.
“It’s the thumb and index finger,” said the Dali Temple’s Qing.
“Left hand and right hand?” Qi Chengfeng asked again.
“Yes … right hand.” Originally, this evidence was fake, but now that he had to compile it and add Qi Chengfeng’s and the crowd’s gazes on the Monastery Qing, he trembled for a moment before coming up with this answer.
Dali Siqing originally thought that Qi Chengfeng would be scared if he said so straightforwardly. However, Qi Chengfeng slowly took out his right hand with a faint smile on his face and tears flowing down his eyes. He said, “The heavens have eyes! This king is finally innocent!”
How could this be innocent? Qi Delong was stunned, not knowing why.
The same was true of the Dali Temple’s Qing! Qi Chengfeng was dumbfounded. However, he slowly raised his right hand. Everyone looked over and saw that Qi Chengfeng’s thumb was covered in blurry blood. The wound on his head had not healed yet. He heard Qi Chengfeng say, “This prince burned the princess in the charcoal basin long before the death of the previous emperor. Now that his hand is still recovering, how did this prince suddenly have fingerprints?”
“This, this, this” The Qing of the Dali Temple’s face turned pale and sweat broke out on her forehead. She immediately raised her sleeves to wipe her sweat. Everyone looked at the Qing of the Dali Temple with disdain. The stones, vegetables, rotten eggs, and other things in her hands were thrown over.
The originally wide road was now occupied by everyone, and it was surrounded by a group of sharp and ear-piercing voices–“Aiyo! Stop throwing it! It hurts!”
Qi Chengfeng watched coldly as he gently put down his wide sleeve to cover it. Su Wanwan was very proud that she had hurriedly used the paint of space to draw that injury! The effect was so realistic!
“Everyone, don’t attack again. Since he lied and framed this king, he will be punished. If we kill him now, we will still be punished,” Qi Chengfeng said.
Hearing the word “we”, everyone was moved. They felt that this was the right thing to do, and they felt that Qi Chengfeng had a good heart.
Quite a few people were moved to tears. Qi Delong’s expression was very heavy and his heart was very unwilling. Why was Qi Chengfeng able to dodge the calamity so easily?
Why? Shouldn’t Qi Chengfeng die? Qi Delong’s chest was filled with rage, but he couldn’t resolve it. His chest rose and fell violently. Qi Delong rolled his eyes and was just about to discover how to deal with this matter when he suddenly heard Qi Chengfeng say, “Royal Brother, do you think you want to punish the Qing of the Dali Temple?”
“Yes.” Qi Delong nodded and then coldly said, “Into the Dali Temple! Prison! Choose a day to hear the case!”
It’s over just like that? Everyone was enraged by Qi Delong’s attitude and said, “Your Majesty, you should give Prince Lian an an explanation! Yes! You should also apologize to him!”
Apologize? Impossible! Qi Delong said coldly, “I’m tired. You guys should disperse.”
What a joke! How could everyone disperse! He immediately scolded Qi Delong.
Suddenly, someone said, “Stop! Have you ever thought of the rumors? The emperor first came into contact with the previous emperor that night. He was the one who killed the previous emperor, right?”
Everyone threw stones at him. Taking advantage of the chaos, Su Wanwan picked up a small stone from the space and threw it over as well. She temporarily sealed his acupoints.
Qi Delong was speechless, and his wit gradually disappeared. He suddenly shouted, “Ah! That’s right! I killed him!”
After saying that, Qi Delong was stunned. How … could he speak again?
