C20 Rabble
When she turned to face the carriage, she said more righteously, "The Son of Heaven has violated the law and committed the same crime as the commoners. His Majesty loves the commoners as the children, but why does His Highness have the heart to treat a child like this? If Princess Third Princess doesn't give us an explanation today, then even if I have to sue the throne room, I will seek justice for my child. [I believe that the king is just and strict. He will not show favoritism, will he?]
When the young woman finished speaking, she looked at the commoners on both sides. Her words seemed very convincing, especially when she praised His Majesty's kindness. They really did speak deep into the hearts of the commoners.
There would be citizens who would come out immediately to support him. His Majesty the emperor was wise, he would not be so selfless as to not part with the public.
At that moment, someone started to point and talk.
Mo Wen rode his horse over. He looked at the young lady in the middle and frowned as he looked at her with a gaze as sharp as an eagle. He was tall and stalwart, clad in armor, and the saber at his waist shone brightly in his eyes.
"Who dares to make a ruckus again and stop the guards from advancing? What crime should they be punished for?"
The general on horseback was expressionless as he gave the order without getting angry. A formless pressure suddenly came over, causing the surrounding citizens to retreat. The words that had just started to talk disappeared without a trace.
Mo Wen lowered his head, his sharp gaze directed at the woman in the middle of the road. "Who are you, state your name and stop the princess from seeing you. You sure have a lot of guts."
In less than a second, she was defeated and was unwilling to admit defeat. She then stood up, and with a little confidence, said: "This little girl's name is not worth mentioning at all, it's just a matter of standing on the wrong path and pulling out a knife to help."
"What a great 'Drawing the Saber' assistance. Do you know what kind of great price you will pay for drawing the 'Sword' assistance this time? Your highness, the princess, is unparalleled in dignity. You dare to be so reckless, disturbing the carriage, I'm afraid you've come prepared. Do you know the consequences of your actions? Your own small life is not worth lamenting about. If there are parents or relatives who were implicated and lost their lives just like you, then things will be difficult! "
Mo Wen's low voice was just able to reach the young woman's mouth. The young woman's face paled and she immediately pretended to be calm as she thought of something: "This master is really capable, he only knows how to threaten me. In order to save them, if this little girl really did lose her life, then the only thing that could be said was that the nation was unable to discipline and treat human life as if it was grass, and that this little girl died for justice, this little girl died without regret! "
The last sound was loud enough for the surrounding commoners to understand.
"Alright!" Someone in the crowd immediately called out.
Then there was another round of applause, cheering on the young woman's loyalty to the death.
The young girl smiled, turned her head to look at Mo Wen and said proudly, "Sir, do you think I really deserve to die?"
This girl was so crafty. She actually dared to use the commoners to make trouble. If today she really punished someone, then Third Princess's bad reputation would immediately spread. However, if she did not punish Chu Feng for her crimes, this woman would be extremely daring. Her tongue was like a lotus flower, and her ability to incite others was extremely strong. Likely, she would bring about endless troubles in the future.
Behind him, Aunt Jing had told everything to Gu Qingxin, who was sitting in the carriage.
Gu Qingxin smiled slowly and lowered her head to whisper a few words into Aunt Jing's ear. She then saw the happiness on Aunt Jing's face and left to receive her orders.
There was a stalemate at the front. A guard on horseback came up to Mo Wen and said: "The Princess has orders. Please come to the palanquin with the lady in front of you and let us know the cause and effect."
After Mo Wen signaled, a soldier walked forward and brought the confident young woman to stop in front of the carriage.
At this moment, the curtains that covered the princess' heavenly beauty were pulled open from both sides. The princess' clothes immediately entered everyone's line of sight.
She was about five years old, with skin as white as congealed oil, eyes as clear as spring water, and a mouth as small as the petals of a nose embedded in her flawless white face. It was truly pleasing to the eye.
His expression was tranquil and calm as he sat there, silently attracting everyone's attention. His gaze was calm as he stared in front of him, revealing an innocent smile. His small face instantly lit up like a flash of light, and two dimples appeared on his cheeks. In the blink of an eye, all of the light in the world had gathered in one place.
Such a cute and beautiful girl! It really was like a celestial child descending from the heavens when Guan Yin sat down.
At this moment, this was what all the commoners were thinking in their hearts. It was fortunate to be able to meet the Western Holy Maiden of the Princess Palace. It was indeed the descent of an immortal child!
After seeing it once, he had a photographic memory.
After laughing, Gu Qingxin looked at the dazed looks on everyone's faces and asked in a clear and melodious voice, "What happened?" This princess has been eating fruits, are you all hungry? Would you like one too? "
As he spoke, he extended his hand towards the fruit in his hand, offering it to the others.
The commoners didn't dare to take it. They all waved their hands, but no one was able to say anything bad.
Beautiful and good-looking people were born to easily obtain the goodwill of others. They were also easily forgiven by others, not to mention this cute and amiable little princess in front of them.
Such a cute little princess with such a beautiful and innocent smile, how could she have any bad intentions? It must be the coachman or the horse that was disobedient. How could they blame such a small princess?
Everyone was feeling guilty for their previous thoughts. The little princess was so adorable, yet she didn't have any airs of arrogance at all, and still had to treat them to fruits. This princess was truly the most beautiful and affectionate princess in Platinum Kingdom.
After Gu Qingxin's naive words, all the malicious guesses of the commoners vanished like smoke in thin air. Their gazes towards the little princess were all filled with amazement, love and adoration.
"Hey, auntie, you're here. Who's the person following behind you?"
The little princess' sudden words successfully drew the attention of everyone present to the few people who were walking over.
There were three people following behind Aunt Jing, a man and a woman, and a child.
Everyone recognized this child. Wasn't she the little girl who had almost died under the hooves of the horses? The child, the man and the woman, should be a pair of parents. A discerning person could tell that these three people were a family of three. What was the use of bringing this family of three up?
Everyone looked at the people Aunt Jing had brought with her with a puzzled expression, ready to listen to her explanation.
Aunt Jing slightly nodded at Gu Qingxin. She then began to explain the purpose of the two men she had brought with her.
"Reporting to your highness, this is the child and his parents who almost had an accident earlier. I brought them all with me. They confessed everything, saying that they had taken someone else's money to teach the child to flee to the carriage. "It's obvious that someone was ordering her to deliberately ruin her reputation and cause everyone to misunderstand her highness." Aunt Jing stated the truth in a serious manner, and the two adults behind her immediately knelt down and admitted what they had said. In the man's hand was a purse full of money, and it was obvious that it contained a lot of money.
Everyone came to a realization. Someone in the crowd immediately woke up, "So this child was doing this on purpose. Does she know what role this savior has assumed?"
"You're lying!" The young woman saw the situation and immediately retorted: "Who knows what your aunt brought people to do. How do we know that you didn't use that money to bribe the couple, or threaten them to force them to admit that it was a child who deliberately ran over? Furthermore, all the parents in the world loved their children. Who would be willing to risk their children under the hooves of a horse? If they were careless, what would happen if something really happened? There can be no parents who put their children in danger for money. "
"Fellow villagers, if it were you, would you all be willing? "There are many villagers who already have children among us. Would you be willing to gamble your children's lives for a few pieces of stinky money?"
Yes, even if it was for money, there wouldn't be any parents who would be willing to gamble with their children's life on the line. Many of the onlookers were parents, and some even brought their children to watch the show.
"That's right, what this lady said makes sense. If it were us, we wouldn't put our hams in danger just for money." Immediately, some people began to cater to the situation.
The direction of the wind began to change again. It was hard to tell who was in the right and who was in the wrong.
What a sweet talker, this ability to stir people's hearts is really strong! Aunt Jing thought bitterly in her heart. She thought she would be able to clarify everything after finding the person she was looking for, but was provoked by a few arrogant words from her.
Aunt Jing was slightly anxious as she raised her head to look at the princess on top of the carriage. The method to find her children's parents had been thought of by her highness. Her highness would definitely find a way to resolve this matter! For some reason, Aunt Jing believed this way.
Gu Qingxin received the signal from Aunt Jing to ask for help, using her eyes to comfort her.
She was still smiling sweetly, just like a five-year-old girl, making people unable to bear to suspect that she was a little kid. However, Gu Qingxin saw that the commoners immediately agreed with the young woman's words. Like a fence-sitter, she fell to the other side and her eyes became colder and colder.
As expected, they were just a bunch of idiots! In the eyes of these people, the truth and the truth were far from being as convincing as a few glib arguments and provocations.
The grass on both sides of the wall, isn't it just these people who listen to the wind and listen to the rain?
