Chapter 243 Miss Zhu, what are you performing?
The cold air seemed to freeze again, and everyone looked at Zhu Zifeng with different eyes, some were sarcastic, some were mocking, and some were gloating.
Seeing that the man didn't respond, Baili Rushu shouted again, "The one wearing the cloak, didn't you hear what this princess said?"
Nangong Xiyun came over at this time, with a somewhat happy smile on her face, "Eleventh Princess!"
She really didn't expect to see Baili Rushu in Beisha City.
Baili Rushu has always had a grudge against Zhu Zifeng. If she saw Zhu Zifeng in such a miserable state, Zhu Zifeng's reputation would be ruined without her having to do anything!
"Sister Xiyun? You're here too?" Baili Rushu was obviously happy to see Nangong Xiyun, but also surprised. Wasn't she stationed at the Nangong residence in Kyoto? Why was she here?
Then, her eyes fell on Baili Moqing, and a look of understanding appeared on her face. "Oh, you are here to see my seventh brother, right?"
"You're so kind! Seventh Brother was exiled, and everyone kept their distance from him, yet you actually chased him all the way from Kyoto..."
"Xiao Eleven! Shut up!" Baili Moqing's temples couldn't help but throb.
This girl, doesn't she even know what the situation is? How dare she say anything?
After reprimanding the Eleventh Princess, Baili Moqing glanced coldly at Nangong Xiyun and gave her a warning.
"Uncle, something happened in Biluoyuan. Why don't you let Nanqi take you and Xiaoyi to the backyard to rest for a while? Once I finish dealing with things here, we can talk about it later."
Baili Qingren nodded, his eyes passing over Baili Moyan intentionally or unintentionally.
"That's good. Now that you've been promoted to a prince, a first-class duke, I guess no one would dare to do anything to you."
At this point, he glared at Baili Rushu and said, "Xiao Shiyi has been pushing me all the way here, forcing me to ride as fast as I can without stopping for even a moment. I'm almost falling apart! Xiao Qi, hurry up and get me something delicious!"
Baili Moqing had a helpless smile on his face and shouted, "Uncle Zhang, let Madam Wang prepare lunch."
Uncle Zhang responded from behind the crowd.
After Nanqi took Prince Xiaoyang and the Eleventh Princess away, Zhu Zifeng lowered his head and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Princess Eleven didn’t see her like this!
But how could Nangong Xiyun let go of such a good opportunity? While no one was paying attention, she chased after Baili Rushu.
At this time, the only people left in the courtyard were the people from the disaster relief camp, as well as Zhu Zifeng, Baili Moyan and others.
Zhang Qiong, the imperial physician, was also pulled away by Baili Qingren, who said he wanted to take the patient's pulse and examine his body.
Since the autopsy documents had been obtained, Baili Moqing agreed.
Zhang Zhiyi took Xu Yan back to the garrison camp, and they also had to prepare to receive the imperial edict.
"Seventh brother, congratulations! This time, not only has your title been restored, but you've also been promoted to first-class prince. You're the first prince in history to be promoted to prince!"
Baili Moyan had a smile on his face, but the smile was a little stiff and had a bit of hypocrisy.
"Xiaojiu, the people in the disaster camp were poisoned to death. What do you think we should do now?"
Baili Moyan's expression froze, then he feigned shock and said, "Seventh Brother, didn't the person who poisoned him commit suicide? What else do we need to do about this?"
Baili Moqing looked at him, a hint of a smile in his eyes, with a hint of coldness, "You mean, the person who poisoned is dead, so the others are not responsible, right?"
When Li Ziwei and other people heard this, anger was visibly evident on their faces.
"What do you mean by no longer responsible? Miss Zhu's suspicions haven't been cleared yet, so are you just going to leave it alone?"
"That's right! So many of us died, and she's just a maid, and she wants to write it off? Your Highness, this is unfair!"
"Yes, Lord Li, this is unfair! Killing someone means paying with your life. That woman must pay for the death!"
The people were in high spirits and had no intention of letting Zhu Zifeng go.
Lu Qiao's eyes were red and glaring, as if she wanted to eat the people. "My young lady knows nothing about this matter. The person who committed the serious crime has already died to atone for his crime. What else do you want?"
"Would a servant hide her actions from her mistress? We don't believe it no matter how you say it! Zhu Zifeng must pay with his life!"
Seeing Zhu Zifeng's dejected look, Baili Moyan felt a sense of pity in his heart.
After all, she was his woman, and he felt it was shameful that she was forced to this point.
His expression turned slightly cold as he spoke. "Whether you believe it or not, the perpetrator is already dead. As for whether Miss Zhu knew about this, you're just speculating; there's no evidence."
"If you can prove that this was truly Miss Zhu's personal order, or that she personally administered the drug, then killing someone means paying with one's life. This king will show no partiality!"
"But if you can't produce any evidence, then Miss Zhu, the daughter of the Grand Tutor and a close attendant to the Princess, there's no way she could have been killed by you in such an unclear manner!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people in the courtyard fell silent.
Evidence? Where can we get evidence? The person who poisoned me is dead. There is no evidence now. How can we get evidence?
But we clearly know that Zhu Zifeng is a major suspect, so are we just going to let it go like this?
Li Ziwei looked at Shu He and Baili Moqing with a pleading look, hoping that they could convict Zhu Zifeng.
But Shu He had no choice in this matter.
Ziying is already dead, and a dead person cannot speak and identify the person behind the scenes.
Zhu Zifeng can only be charged with lax discipline at most.
Sure enough, in the end Baili Moyan issued a strong order that before returning to the capital, Zhu Zifeng was confined to his house and was not allowed to step out of the Zhen Mansion. After returning to the capital, he would be handed over to the personal discipline of Grand Tutor Zhu Heng.
He also said that Grand Tutor Zhu was an upright person and would definitely give everyone an explanation on this matter!
Shu He stood behind and heard this, with a sneer on his face.
Explain?
At that time, what else can be explained?
It just ended in nothing!
Li Ziwei and others wanted to say something, but Baili Moyan didn't give them a chance and directly ordered Guan He to send Zhu Zifeng back to Zhen Mansion and put him under house arrest.
Baili Moyan is the ninth prince. Since he has said so, the people can only accept their fate no matter how unwilling they are.
"and many more!"
At this moment, a crisp sound came from the backyard corridor. Zhu Zifeng, who was almost at the door, trembled suddenly. His bright eyes were filled with fear and anxiety.
"Commander Guan, hurry up, go!"
Baili Rushu saw Zhu Zifeng trying to escape and immediately shouted, "Zhu Zifeng, do you dare to disobey even the orders of this princess?"
The word "command" stopped Zhu Zifeng in her tracks. She lowered her head, clenched her fists tightly, and her body trembled with tension and anger.
Baili Rushu walked over and immediately pulled off her cloak.
Suddenly, Zhu Zifeng's embarrassed appearance reappeared in front of everyone. When Baili Rushu saw this scene, she was shocked at first, and then she couldn't help laughing.
Is this, is this still the Zhu Zifeng she knows?
Could it be a fake?
When Nangong Xiyun said it just now, she didn't believe it. Now, seeing it with her own eyes, it was such a big surprise!
At this moment, her laughter sounded like a sharp knife to Zhu Zifeng, stabbing her all over.
The cold wind, carrying humiliation, almost drowned her sanity.
Luqiao quickly picked up the cloak on the ground and wrapped Zhu Zifeng in it again. However, facing the princess's identity, she didn't dare to say a word and could only look at her indignantly.
"Zhu Zifeng? Is it really you?"
"How come the most beautiful woman in Kyoto has a face full of pockmarks?"
"And your clothes and hairstyle, why are they so chic? Are you performing something?"
Zhu Zifeng said nothing, his body shaking even more violently.
"However, even if it's a performance, you're a lady from a noble family after all. Baring your shoulders and back in public like this is a bit immoral, isn't it? Is this the tradition of your Zhu family?"
