Chapter 327
Pang Bowu was undoubtedly the one who least wanted Shangguan Ziling to be involved, so when he heard that Shangguan Ziling had witnesses to prove herself, he was happier than anyone else.
The people in the general's mansion looked very unhappy. Madam Yun said, "Master Pang, the personal maid of the Regent Princess can also be a witness? Even if she is a personal maid of the Princess, she must be speaking in favor of her master. How can such a person be a witness?"
Shangguan Ziling said in a cold tone: "Madam Yun, why don't you listen to what this princess's maid has to say first, and then make a plan?"
"Humph!"
When Pang Bowu saw that there was no objection from the General's Mansion, he immediately said, "Everyone in the hall, tell us everything you know, and don't hide anything."
Qiu Kui and Dong Qing walked into the hall and bowed to Pang Bowu who was sitting in the court.
Pang Bowu asked, "Since you are the personal maids of the Regent Princess, why aren't you following her?"
Qiu Kui replied: "I accompanied the princess from the Prime Minister's Mansion. On the way back to the palace, we met assassins. Because there were too many assassins, I and the secret guards who were protecting the princess secretly restrained the assassins and let the princess leave first."
Pang Bowu was shocked and continued to ask: "Since it was an assassin who assassinated the princess, how could you let the princess leave alone? Does the regent princess know martial arts and is not weak?"
"Lord Pang, why don't you ask this princess yourself?" Shangguan Ziling said.
"Uh……"
Shangguan Ziling said: "My princess is not only good at martial arts, but also an expert in medicine and poisons, and she is self-taught."
"Well, I admire you, the Prime Minister, for educating his daughter well!"
Pang Bowu continued to look at Qiu Kuro and Dong Qing in the middle of the lobby below and asked, "Where were you attacked?"
"In the foggy alley," Dongqing said lightly.
Yun Shen said, "The foggy alley is so far away from where the incident happened, why would the Regent Princess go there?"
Shangguan Ziling smiled and said, "You question me? Will I tell you?"
Yun Shen was furious, "Don't you think the Princess Regent wants to explain clearly and clear her name?"
Shangguan Ziling said with a smile: "Aren't you sure that I am the murderer? How can a few words from me dispel your doubts?"
"Shen'er, let Master Pang Da come. I believe Master Pang Da will give an explanation to our general's mansion," said Old Madam Yun in a deep voice.
Pang Bowu nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yun, I will get to the bottom of this matter."
Pang Bowu asked, "When did you and your servant leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when did you separate?"
Qiu Kui replied: "I left the Prime Minister's Mansion at 15:30, and separated from the princess at around 15:30."
Pang Bowu said: "Come here, go and ask the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion to come over, and also go to the Fog Alley to see if there are any signs of a fight."
"Yes".
————Prime Minister's Mansion
"Madam, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened."
Beichen Xue frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you yelling?"
The maid said, "Madam, there are rumors outside that the Regent Princess killed General Yun."
"What?" Beichen Xue stood up in shock.
"Madam, the news is spreading everywhere outside."
Beichen Xue said angrily: "This is nonsense! How could Zi Ling kill General Yun?"
"Really, ma'am, and General Yun is gone."
Beichen was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Where's the young lady? Didn't she go out? Is she back?"
The maid shook her head and said, "No."
Beichen Xue thought: Oh no, Youyou is still pregnant. If she hears the rumors outside, can her body bear it?
Beichen Xue immediately said: "Tell the housekeeper to send someone out to find the young lady, and make sure to bring her back safely!"
"Yes".
Shangguan Dong strode in, and Beichen Xue stepped forward and said, "Brother Dong, you're back. Have you heard the rumors outside?"
Shangguan Dong nodded with mixed feelings, "Madam, I came back just to ask you, what's going on?"
Beichen Xue shook her head and said, "I don't know either! Zi Ling had lunch at noon, and the secret guards of the Regent Palace said that the prince had returned home, so Zi Ling left in a hurry. I was still sighing at the good relationship between the young couple! It was only when the maid came in and told me just now that I knew about it!"
Shangguan Dong walked over and sat down, silent.
Beichen Xue asked anxiously, "Brother Dong, what's going on? How could Zi Ling kill General Yun? How is this possible?"
Shangguan Dong said: "Don't worry, Zi Ling is now in Shuntian Prefecture. Lord Pang, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, will investigate it thoroughly and will not wrongly accuse Zi Ling."
Beichen Xue was shocked and said, "What? Zi Ling is in Shuntian Prefecture now? Brother Dong, don't you want to go to Shuntian Prefecture to take a look?"
Shangguan Dong said: "Madam! Don't be anxious. We have just become relatives with the General's Mansion. Now such a big thing has happened in the General's Mansion, and Zi Ling has become a suspect in the murder of General Yun. It may not be a good idea for your husband to step forward at this time. Let's wait and see."
Beichen Xue said worriedly: "What about Zi Ling......"
Shangguan Dong comforted her, "Zi Ling is now the Regent Princess. Her status is there, and she has the Regent behind her. There is no need to worry about her. She is wronged. Even the people in the Regent's Palace will investigate the truth and clear her of suspicion."
"By the way, Brother Dong, Ziling just found out that Youyou is pregnant, but she went out and hasn't come back yet. I'm worried that she won't be able to bear the blow when she finds out that her father is gone."
"What? Have you sent someone out to look for him?" Shangguan Dong asked.
"Before you came, I sent the maid to inform the housekeeper to ask someone to go out and look for it."
"If something happens to Youyou, I'm afraid we will become complete enemies with the General's Mansion," Shangguan Dong stood up and paced back and forth.
"Yes, yes, Youyou just found out that she is pregnant, and her body can't stand the stress. I'm also worried that if something happens to her, what should I do?" Beichen Xue choked up.
"Come here, immediately send more people out of the house to look for the young lady," said Shangguan Dong.
"Yes"
Butler Lin hurried into the yard and said, "Master, Madam, someone is coming from Shuntian Prefecture."
Shangguan Dong and Beichen Xue walked out of the house after hearing this.
Shangguan Dong looked at Steward Lin and asked, "Why did someone from Shuntian Prefecture come here?"
Steward Lin said: "The people from Shuntian Prefecture came to ask whether the princess left the Prime Minister's Mansion at 3:15 p.m. today. This old servant has already told them that the princess left the Prime Minister's Mansion at 3:15 p.m."
"Oh, then have the people from Shuntian Prefecture left?" Shangguan Dong asked.
"No, I have gathered together all the maids and servants who saw the princess leave, and asked the yamen runners of Shuntian Prefecture to question them one by one," said Steward Lin.
Shangguan Dong nodded and said, "Well, Steward Lin, you did the right thing. Go down and send someone to Shun Mansion to inquire about the news. Come back and report to the emperor immediately if there is any news."
"Yes".
