Chapter 421 Asking for help
"Oh?"
Di Ran glanced at the thing in Ji Yunfei's hand, raised his hand to take the dart and took a look at it. It was a very ordinary plum blossom dart, nothing special.
His eyes fell on the words on the note and paused. There was only one line of words on the note: "If you are in trouble, go to Tongfu Inn, Beichen Wang."
Di Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression restrained, and no emotion could be heard in his flat tone.
"Do you know who he is?"
Ji Yunfei replied, "The man threw darts with his face covered. By the time I realized what was happening, he had already escaped through the window. I didn't catch up with him, and then I found this note on the bedside table."
"I followed the address to look for the prince. I heard the waiter at the inn mention that the prince mentioned Yunfeng Temple, so I came here to try my luck. I didn't expect that the prince was really here."
"Heh, interesting."
A slight smile appeared on Di Ran's lips, his fingertips stroked the note, and there was an ambiguous look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Ji Yunfei took a step back, knelt down towards Di Ran and said, "I have something I would like to ask for your help, Your Majesty!"
"Is it about your nephew?"
Ji Yunfei looked up in surprise, surprised that the prince actually knew why he came.
But considering the great means of this King Beichen, he must have already investigated everything clearly.
Thinking of this, he frowned and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is as good as a god. I believe you already know what I mean."
"I beg Your Majesty to help me. I hope Your Majesty can hear the trial in court and make a fair judgment."
Di Ran raised an eyebrow: "Are you afraid that the princess will use her power to oppress others?"
Ji Yunfei's face darkened slightly. "Her Highness the Crown Princess behaves erratically. I have heard about her absurd behavior. I am just afraid that she will not easily admit her guilt. She may take the opportunity to suppress the case and destroy the evidence. When the matter is brought to court, I am afraid it will be left unresolved."
Di Ran lowered his eyes, turned the ring on his finger slightly, and spoke calmly.
"Master Ji, are you sure that there is enough evidence to prove that the princess killed your nephew?"
"If there is no evidence to prove it, falsely accusing the current princess is a serious crime."
"This……"
Ji Yunfei's heart tightened slightly, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He really had no evidence at the moment, and could not confirm that the dead person was really Fu'er.
If you falsely accuse the princess without any evidence, it will be a capital crime!
However, he had a vague premonition that something had happened to Fu'er.
He had been traveling all these days and nights and had many nightmares, all of which were about the tragic death of Fuer. The scene was so real that it made him heartbroken.
Thinking that the third brother's wife had already gone to search for evidence, as long as the auction could confirm the origin of the male slave and there was proof that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess had taken him away, they would have a chance of winning the case.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunfei's ugly expression faded slightly, he made up his mind secretly, and said with gritted teeth.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Regardless of the success or failure of this matter, I will bear all the consequences!"
"Your Highness only needs to sit in court to ensure that Her Highness will not use her power to suppress others when the evidence is solid."
"If the prince agrees, my Zhenguo Mansion will owe the prince a favor. If you have any errands in the future, just let me know."
If it is confirmed that the princess did kill Fu'er, given that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has now withdrawn from the court, His Majesty may not agree to convict and execute the princess.
If His Majesty is determined to protect the princess, what can they do?
But if King Beichen intervenes in this matter, the situation will be different. Such a great favor should be accepted.
After Ji Yunfei finished speaking, he waited nervously for Di Ran's reply.
After a long time, Di Ran slowly stood up.
Ji Yunfei's heart skipped a beat, and just when he thought the other party was going to refuse, a cold voice came from above his head.
"This prince has met the Duke of Zhenguo once before, and I admire his character very much. If the princess is truly proven guilty, this prince will not be biased."
"If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished just like the common people. Even if the princess of the current dynasty breaks the law, she will be punished according to the law."
Hearing this, Ji Yunfei was shocked and looked up in surprise.
Di Ran’s profile was like an immortal, and his tall and straight figure seemed to be covered with a layer of rosy light, sacred and inviolable.
An inexplicable emotion surged in my heart, and I raised my hand, bowed, and kowtowed solemnly.
"Your Majesty is righteous!"
