Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Chapter 175 Testify

Because of Li Longye's insistence, Li Longji punished Princess Cheng'an, which was beyond Jiang Feng's psychological expectations.

What more bikes do you want?

She has always been good at controlling her expectations.

……

In the palace.

In the towering hall, Jiang Fei, kneeling there, looked even smaller.

Li Dan, Li Longji, Princess Taiping and Li Chengqi each sat majestically, like statues of gods.

After Jiang Feng knelt down, he kowtowed to the "statues" sitting on the throne and greeted them.

Li Dan asked a lot of questions, and Jiang Feng answered according to what he had agreed with Li Longye in advance: all the blame should be put on Cheng An, since she was not at fault anyway; Jiang Fei was performing a ritual in the inner hall and had no idea what was happening outside the hall; as for the Princess of Ji'an, she could not mention her at all.

Li Dan finally asked, "Did you tell Cheng An that one of the two people she brought was involved in the assassination of the crown prince?"

Jiang Feng said: "Among the two assassins brought by Cheng An, one of them has an iron left arm and holds an eagle-head sword."

Li Dan asked again: "But Cheng An also said that the man was assigned to her by the Crown Prince's concubine."

Jiang Fei's body trembled, and he knelt even more submissively.

The brothers Ji and Ye did not look happy.

Princess Taiping's expression remained unchanged.

Li Chengqi was secretly delighted.

Jiang Feng kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty, please understand. Concubine Jiang and I are close sisters. How could Concubine Jiang harm me? Even if we take a step back, if my sister wants to do something to me... she will never ask anyone else to do it. Even if she asks someone else to do it, she will definitely ask someone she can trust. She has no friendship with Cheng An at all, so how could she ask such a horrifying thing to be asked of her? Even if she asks Cheng An to do it, he will never assign someone who has participated in the assassination of the prince. I think that the only clues to the assassination of the prince are the iron arm and the eagle-headed sword. A criminal with such obvious characteristics must have hidden his whereabouts very well. It seems that he did it on purpose to show up in public like this. He is really worthy of death by insinuating the prince through the prince's concubine!"

After Jiang Feng finished speaking, one could hear a pin drop in the hall.

Li Dan said: "According to what you said, Cheng An is trying to bite the prince's concubine?"

Jiang Feng raised his head and said to Li Dan frankly, "The feud between me and Cheng An started from the moment I entered Chang'an. She has tried to kill me many times, and I'm sure Your Majesty has heard about it. Now that she has just been released from confinement, she is impatient to kill me again, and she has even planned a way out. She chose Gratitude Temple, a time when only the concubine and I were together, and brought a man with an iron arm who is hard to tell whether he is real or fake. She has already made up her mind to involve the Eastern Palace."

Li Dan said nothing.

Princess Taiping drank a cup of tea and asked with a smile: "Oh? It involves the Eastern Palace? Ah Feng, tell me about it."

After not seeing each other for several months, Princess Taiping became even more kind and gentle.

Jiang Feng kowtowed to Princess Taiping again, and then said: "Using the Iron Arm Man as a bargaining chip, no matter whether she can kill me or not, she will threaten the East Palace and not pursue her sins! But she calculated and calculated, but she only missed the Crown Prince's mind! Even though His Royal Highness knew that this matter would be exposed to His Majesty and would arouse His Majesty's suspicion, he was still open and honest, not afraid of suspicion and slander, and insisted on Cheng An's guilt!"

No matter what, let’s nail Cheng An to death first.

If she keeps stirring up trouble, even if she is a fool, it will be very distressing.

As for Jian.

She didn't believe it, and Li Longji still thought she was just a poor little girl who was practicing Buddhism with her hair untied. As for the rest, he could only take his time.

She had to hug Li Longji's thigh and hold it tightly without letting go.

She has now suffered a great loss at the hands of Cheng An, Jiang Fei and Ji An, but for the sake of Li Longji's grand cause, she can only identify one murderer, at least to gain some standing points.

After coming out of Mingzheng Hall, Li Longye was in a bad mood.

Just now in the hall, he also had a gloomy face.

Jiang Feng consoled her, "If Your Majesty feels that I have been wronged, why don't you just pick up your knife and go to the nunnery outside the city to kill her?"

Li Longye just walked with his hands behind his back, not saying a word.

Jiang Feng, still smiling, followed behind him, put his hand in his, and said, "You have done a good job in persuading the prince to severely punish Cheng An."

Li Longye turned around, held her hand, and said, "I am not strong enough. If I were the prince..."

Jiang Feng didn't wait for him to finish, he pulled his hand over his mouth and said in panic: "I'm going to die! Saying this!"

Li Zan, Li Bian and Feng Changqing, who were following from a distance, thought that the two were just showing off their affection again, and they looked at the butterflies everywhere in an unnatural manner.

Jiang Feng said: "Anyone, even if he is an emperor, has things that he cannot do."
