Chapter 428 How can I be convicted of a crime?
Qingfeng Tower
"boom!"
The door was suddenly pushed open and a guard rushed in with a panicked look.
"Your Highness, this is bad!"
"what!"
Ji Xuan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, was immediately awakened by the beautiful woman's scream.
A surge of anger surged in her heart, and she raised her hand and gave a loud slap to the handsome man next to her.
"Shut up!"
It seemed that too much force was used and the little handsome boy was knocked unconscious.
Ji Xuan, with a dark and angry face, picked up a pillow beside her and threw it at the guard who disturbed her.
"Get out!"
"Your Highness~"
When the guard saw Ji Xuan's ugly and gloomy face, he remembered that he had barged in on impulse and almost forgot that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess hated being disturbed the most.
Facing that murderous and brutal gaze, the guard's face turned pale instantly, his legs went limp and he fell to his knees on the ground.
"Your Highness, please spare my life~"
"I...I didn't mean to disturb you. It was just an urgent matter, so I had to disturb Your Highness..."
Ji Xuan had a dark face, sinister eyes, and a sharp voice that revealed impatience and irritability.
"You better have something urgent!"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
The guard looked terrified and said hurriedly, "Reporting to Your Highness, Lord Xue just sent someone to deliver a message saying that someone from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion sued Your Highness for killing Young Master Sun of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
"We have also invited King Beichen to take charge and demand that Your Highness pay with his life. We have already sent people to capture Your Highness."
"Lord Xue asked his subordinates to inform His Highness that she is stalling for time and asking His Highness to leave Liuzhou as soon as possible. Once she returns to the capital, she will not be able to do anything to His Highness."
Ji Xuan got angry when she heard this.
"Why go back to Beijing?!"
"Wouldn't that make people think that I'm afraid?"
"What can the mere Duke Zhenguo Mansion do to me? Pay with my life? She dares!"
Ji Xuan clenched her fists, her eyes were fierce and violent, and she was furious. She didn't expect things to turn out like this, and even dragged King Beichen into it. Annoyed, Ji Xuan threw the cups and teapots on the table to the ground.
"Wow..."
Ji Xuan calmed down, narrowed her cold eyes, and asked sideways.
"How is the matter that I asked Xue Yanqing to do going?"
The guard knelt on the ground and responded in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, Lord Xue asked me to tell you that you can rest assured that the matter has been taken care of and it will not threaten you."
"Even if this ends up before the Holy Lord, it won't affect you."
After hearing this, Ji Xuan's anger eased a little: "If that's the case, then what is there to be afraid of?"
"Without evidence, how can you convict me of a crime?"
Ji Xuan curled her lips and sneered: "Falsely accusing the princess is the same crime as deceiving the emperor. This princess wants to see how they die."
"But Your Highness, they have King Beichen..."
Ji Xuan glared angrily and snorted, "So what? Even if the King of Beichen is here, you can't do anything to me without evidence."
Seeing that his master was so confident and sure of victory, the guard opened his mouth but finally gave up trying to persuade him.
After all, His Highness is confident about his plan, and pouring cold water on him at this time is just asking for trouble.
It has to be said that the personal guard knows Ji Xuan very well.
……
Prefectural Office
Prefect Xue wiped the sweat from his forehead and bowed to Emperor Ran.
"I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming. I failed to greet you from afar. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"
Di Ran sat on the armchair with a calm expression on his face, exuding an aura of majesty without even being angry.
He glanced at Xue Yanqing and said calmly, "Get up."
"I am only here to attend the trial. Sir Xue, there is no need to be nervous."
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Prefect Xue was servile and humble, with cold sweat running down his back, and he felt guilty and nervous.
Of course, the King Beichen in front of him is the most popular figure in the court now.
Even His Majesty didn't dare to do anything to her, let alone a mere prefect like her.
Considering what she had done behind her back, how could she not be panicked?
