Chapter 227: Escape from the Crime
"criminal?"
Wei Ming frowned, looked at Ashina with his cloudy and sharp eyes, and said unhappily.
"Your Highness, you are going too far. The Crown Princess is the heir to the throne of a country and a role model for everyone. How can you describe her as a criminal?"
"What if she captured our princess?"
"When two countries are at war, they still don't kill the envoys. Your princess falsely accuses my princess of being a spy for such a small matter, and even intends to torture my princess. Is this how you, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, treat guests?!"
Hu Yanzhen spoke aggressively, and when he glanced at Ji Xuan standing beside him, he chuckled and said sarcastically.
"Besides, I have heard about your country's princess's style of doing things. To be honest, I really can't praise her."
"you!"
Ji Xuan's face suddenly became gloomy and ugly.
Hu Yanzhen glared back without fear.
Ji Yao looked at her daughter with a gloomy expression: "Daughter, do you admit your guilt?!"
Ji Xuan was stunned, panicked at first, her face turned pale, and then she explained in a panic.
"It's unfair! Queen Mother!"
"Son...I have never done such a thing. Mother, you have misunderstood me."
"Misunderstand?"
Ji Yao's face was still gloomy and angry.
"What misunderstanding? I think you are just trying to shirk your guilt!"
Ashina just couldn't stand Ji Xuan's expression and thought she just wanted to completely shirk the matter.
And Ji Xuan did have this plan.
What crime is it to detain and torture envoys from other countries in prison?
To put it simply, it is a personal grudge. If you apologize, people are willing to forgive you and a big thing will be made small, and a small thing will be forgotten.
To put it bluntly, if relations between the two countries break down and war breaks out, you will be the culprit and a sinner for all eternity!
Not to mention that the queen mother would not favor her, even the spit of the people in the city could drown her.
Ji Xuan was anxious to explain: "No, mother, it has nothing to do with me. I was just angry that she was against me, so I ordered her to be arrested in a fit of anger. Besides..."
"Besides, she attempted to murder me. Everyone saw it. I didn't know she was an envoy from Zang Rong at that time, so... so my behavior is understandable, Mother Queen~" "Bullshit!"
Ashina was so angry when he saw Ji Xuan was so shameless that he yelled at her.
He glared at Ji Xuan fiercely and said angrily: "It was you who used your power to frame Xiao Wang as a spy and sent people to arrest Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang had no choice but to resist!"
Even Yili couldn't help but frown and speak for his own princess.
"Your Highness, there is no need to argue. The facts are all there. It is true that you sent people to arrest our princess, and you also intended to use lynching."
"This is a violation of the covenant. How will Her Majesty the Queen deal with this?"
The disaster was directed to the empress. Ji Yao said with a gloomy face: "Don't worry, Prime Minister Yi. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
After that, he looked at the pale Ji Xuan with a sharp gaze: "Princess, it seems that I have been too indulgent to you, which has led to your reckless behavior and disregard for the law!"
Seeing that her mother seemed really angry, Ji Xuan looked a little panicked: "Mother, I am innocent~"
He was anxious, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he blurted out the answer.
"Mother Queen, I saved the princess!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Empress Ji Yao also frowned, not understanding what Ji Xuan meant.
What do you mean she saved the princess?
When he saw Ji Xuan, she refused to admit it and asked him what he meant by saving her?
Ashina's expression was so ugly: "Bullshit!"
"What do you mean you saved Xiao Wang? You're dreaming if you want to make up a story to get away with it!"
Ji Xuan's expression seemed to change, she became calm and composed, and snorted softly.
"You know what, I really saved your life. If it weren't for me, you would have been killed by that assassin."
"What assassin?"
Ashina was stunned and said lightly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Everyone was also confused.
