Chapter 117: Conferred the title of County Lord
Xiao Wenzhan's face darkened, and he looked at the Crown Prince and Prince Rui with his majestic eyes.

"Is this serious?"

The prince immediately said, "Father, everyone in Houde Village can confirm that the child is sick. How can we believe her words?"

Ah Ying looked straight at the prince and asked, "Prince, how can you be sure that what this child said is false? Why are you trying to stop him from being tried at this time?"

The two blunt words completely made the prince's eyes red, "How dare you slander me?"

Xiao Wenzhang's eyes darkened, "I'm not dead yet!"

Suddenly, the extremely oppressive voice made the prince feel oppressed.

"Do you have any evidence?" Xiao Wenzhan asked coldly.

Ah Ying replied: "Yes!"

Suddenly, the prince's eyes were startled and he looked at A Ying. Is there any evidence?

Then, King Rui called out, "Sulu, bring it up!"

After a while, Solu bowed and walked into the hall holding an item.

Ah Ying looked at the items with a sad look in her eyes and said to Xiao Wenzhang, "Your Majesty, please look!"

With a "whoosh", Aying lifted the white cloth covering the room.

Suddenly, a blood-stained stain appeared before his eyes.

The prince paused.

Xiao Wenzhan stood up immediately in shock.

Gao Pan hurriedly went to help Xiao Wenzhang, but he waved his hand away.

Xiao Wenzhang gradually approached the blood-stained robe and frowned, asking, "What is this?"

Ah Ying said with red eyes: "This is the bloody shirt that Shengsheng wore when he was tortured on the day he escaped!"

Suddenly, Xiao Wenzhan's eyes trembled.

"It's just a bloody shirt, how can we be sure that it was done by those people? Besides, even if the girl was beaten, so what? We can't frame her at will, right?" The prince said dimly.

Xiao Cong immediately stood up and said angrily, "This can't be confirmed, right?"

I saw Xiao Cong making a gesture.

More than a dozen soldiers came in carrying things.

Inside, there were bloodstained clothes and even various utensils with blood spots on them.

Not only that, there are also various jade pendants, pipes, and even daggers.

The prince looked at the thing in confusion.

Xiao Cong said in a loud voice: "Father, if that bloody shirt can't prove it, look at these. There is not only the bloody shirt, but also those personal belongings. They are all hidden by Shengsheng after being tortured. She hopes that one day she can redress her grievances and bring these beasts to justice! Father, you can find someone to identify these things to see if they are those people's personal belongings!"

The prince could not help but retort: ​​"How could these be done by a nine-year-old girl?"

Xiao Cong stared at her aggressively and said, "Of course, Shengsheng didn't do all this alone. There are also two dead sisters! The prince may have heard of her name..."

Just as Xiao Wenzhang looked at his two sons in shock, Xiao Cong said quietly, "Awan, Achan, does the prince remember?"

The moment Xiao Cong said the name, the prince was visibly flustered.

Xiao Wenzhang seemed to understand something and looked at the prince, "Prince, tell me! What did Cong'er mean?"

The prince knelt down in fear and kowtowed immediately, "I don't know!"

"Don't know? Then I will tell father for you! These A Wan and A Chan are none other than the girls that the prince has raised in his mansion for abuse and play since they were six years old!" Xiao Cong said angrily.

The prince immediately refuted: "Nonsense!"

"Nonsense? Prince, are you willing to let your father search your mansion?" Xiao Cong looked at him calmly and contemptuously.

After hearing this, Xiao Wenzhan understood that Xiao Cong was not just talking.

He slammed the table in anger, "Asshole!!!" Xiao Wenzhang, furious, shouted, "Someone! Take the prince down!"

Gao Pan was startled and looked at Xiao Wenzhang, "Your Majesty, calm down."

"Why should I calm down? This is the crown prince, the heir apparent of Northern Jin. He actually did such a thing. How can I trust him to be the emperor's successor!!!" Xiao Wen Zhang pointed at the crown prince Xiao Bai and shouted angrily.

Xiao Cong knelt again, "Father, I didn't want to say anything. I just wanted to uphold justice for the little girl, but the prince blocked me at every step. I am so angry!"

Xiao Wenzhang raised his voice and cursed: "Why wouldn't he stop you? If you keep digging, everything will be exposed!"

Seeing that he could no longer conceal his guilt, Crown Prince Xiao Bai knelt down near Xiao Wenzhang and begged, "Father! Father! I was wrong, and I will never do it again! Please give me another chance!"

Xiao Wenzhang felt so frustrated that he felt dizzy, and Gao Pan quickly supported him, "Your Majesty!"

It was not until he sat on the dragon throne and relaxed for a while that Xiao Wenzhan gradually calmed down.

He pointed at Xiao Bai solemnly and said, "Tell the news! The Crown Prince is suffering from a serious illness and cannot stay in the capital, so he is sent to his fiefdom to recuperate! The power of regent will be taken over by Prince Rui!"

The prince's body softened, and he immediately begged for mercy in a hoarse voice: "Father, please have mercy, I won't dare to do it again! Father!"

Xiao Wenzhang was like an angry lion, threatening to bite people at any moment, "Pull him away!"

"I, your son, will never let you down!" Xiao Cong kowtowed.

The air was so silent that even breathing seemed harsh.

Aying looked at His Majesty and then at Prince Rui dimly, feeling very uneasy. To be honest, she had thought that the Crown Prince would be punished after the truth was revealed, but she had never expected that this stick would reach his fiefdom.

Just as Ah Ying was in a daze, she heard a voice: "Ah Ying."

Ah Ying saw that it was His Majesty calling her, and quickly replied, "I'm here."

"You have made a great contribution by reporting this matter. From today on, you will be granted the title of county lord and the fiefdom!"

Ah Ying was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Wenzhang bowed slightly, and Gao Pan quickly helped him up, flicked his whisk and said, "Get up!"

Xiao Cong and A Ying bowed.

At this moment, Aying still felt like she was dreaming. How could she be rewarded for speaking up for Sheng Sheng?
"Your Highness?" Aying called softly.

Xiao Cong looked at A Ying with a gloomy expression.

"Your Majesty, you won't reward me now just for the sake of face, and then kill me tomorrow, right?" Ah Ying's expression didn't seem like he was joking.

Xiao Cong looked puzzled, "Why do you think so?"

Ah Ying quickly analyzed, "That's the crown prince! How can His Majesty feel comfortable if he is demoted to a fiefdom? In the final analysis, this is also the incident that I provoked. If His Majesty is unhappy and gives an order, I won't be able to escape even if I want to!"

Xiao Cong sighed that Huo Aying had such a wild imagination, and said helplessly: "Don't worry, father is not as petty as you think!"

"Really not?"

Xiao Cong asked back: "If that's true, do you regret helping Sheng Sheng?"

Ah Ying was stunned, then shook her head with certainty, "No regrets! If it happens again, I will still do it!"

"That's fine." Xiao Cong said.

"However, I never expected that His Majesty would be so angry..." Ah Ying sighed.

Xiao Cong said meaningfully: "That's just what you didn't expect..."

Ah Ying: ...? What do you mean?
At this time, Xie Chengyi outside the palace also received the news.

"My lord, the young lady has been conferred the title of county lady." Zhan Li reported.

Xie Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief, "This girl should be happy for a long time."

"If you hadn't done all these things behind the scenes, Miss Aying wouldn't have been so lucky." Zhan Li couldn't help but feel sorry for his master, as he had worked so hard but didn't even get any thanks.

Xie Chengyi smiled faintly. As long as this girl stopped belittling herself, he would be happy if she was happy...
