1051: The Death of Consort Jing (6)

The Death of Consort Jing (6)

Shen Miao's gaze was soo intent that even Ye Hongguang sensed it. Ye Hongguang glanced over with a curious gaze. Seeing that Shen Miao was staring at him without blinking, he lowered his head in shock and rubbed the edge of the blanket on his knees uneasily.2

"Young Master Ye?" Lu Zhengchun frowned and asked, "Did you see the murderer who killed Jing?"

Ye Hongguang was stunned. When he saw Lu Zhengchun's fierce expression, he was shocked and looked at Ye Mei for help. Every time he looked at Ye Mei with a reliant gaze, Shen Miao felt like a knife was stabbing her heart.

Empress Xiande said amiably, "Hongguang, you said that you saw the person who pushed Consort Jing. Is that true?"

Empress Xiande seemed to have a good impression of Ye Hongguang, and her tone was much gentler. Ye Hongguang looked at Empress Xiande and seemed to be less afraid. He nodded.

"Then, who is that person?" Empress Xiande asked.

Ye Hongguang lowered his head timidly. He hesitated for a long time before looking up again. He looked up at Shen Miao. Then, Ye Hongguang slowly reached out and pointed at Shen Miao, saying softly, "It's her."

Shen Miao felt as if she had been struck by lightning!

Empress Xiande's expression changed and she asked sternly, "Hongguang, do you know that if you lie, you will be decapitated?"

Emperor Yong Le also said coldly, "Are you sure you saw it clearly?"

The empress's attitude made it clear that she did not believe Ye Hongguang. Ye Hongguang looked very timid, but under the empress's pressure, he became even more determined. He looked at Shen Miao and said with certainty, "It's that madam."

Shen Miao staggered, almost unable to believe her ears. Fu Ming actually called her "that madam". Her son was now close to her enemy and was testifying for her!

How ridiculous!

In the eyes of others, her action seemed to indicate that she was guilty of something.

Lu Zhengchun narrowed his eyes. Without a word, he reached out to grab Shen Miao. Seeing this, Ba Jiao and Hui Xiang immediately stood in front of Shen Miao. No one expected Lu Zhengchun to suddenly make a move. The guard quickly protected Empress Xiande and Emperor Yong Le. Emperor Yong Le shouted, "Lu Zhengchun, are you going to rebel?"

As Lu Zhengchun fought with Ba Jiao and Hui Xiang, he said loudly, "Your Majesty, now that the murderer is in front of us, let me avenge my daughter first! Then, I'll let you punish me.?

Emperor Yong Le was so angry that his face turned ashen.

Ba Jiao and Hui Xiang had to consider their status and Shen Miao, but Lu Zhengchun was ruthless. The two of them were about to lose. Shen Miao looked at Ye Hongguang, who was beside Ye Mei, in a daze. Ye Hongguang seemed to be avoiding her gaze, unwilling to look at Shen Miao. Instead, he whispered something to Ye Mei.

At this moment, Lu Zhengchun's legs suddenly went weak and he knelt on the ground. Before anyone could see what happened, they heard two gold ingots fall to the ground.

Lu Zhengchun held his knee and fell to the ground.

A calm voice sounded from outside.

"Let me see who is bullying my woman while I'm not around."

Everyone could hear the anger in this calm voice.

Xie Jingxing appeared at the door with a gold ingot in his hand. Clearly, he had used this to injure Lu Zhengchun's knee just now.

He strode to Shen Miao. Seeing that Shen Miao's face was pale, he thought that she was frightened and became even angrier. He turned to look at Lu Zhengchun, who was being helped up by his subordinates, and said indifferently, "Master Lu, do you have a grudge against me?"

He was handsome and his tone was calm, but it made people shiver.

Lu Zhengchun was not to be outdone. Although he was wary of Xie Jingxing, he did not back down. He said, "Jing was killed! Young Master Ye saw with his own eyes that it was Shen Miao who killed her. It's only right for me to avenge my daughter!"

"Young Master Ye?" Xie Jingxing glanced around the room and stopped at Ye Hongguang, who was in the wheelchair.

He slowly approached Ye Hongguang and looked down at him.

Xie Jingxing exuded an extremely oppressive aura. Ye Hongguang avoided eye contact with him uncomfortably.

Xie Jingxing looked at him with a faint smile. "Which eye of yours saw her kill someone?"

Without waiting for Ye Hongguang to answer, Xie Jingxing said indifferently, "I'll dig out that eye."
