Chapter 205 The Truth
(Second Update)
When the commander of the Imperial Guard saw the emperor, he quickly knelt down.
The prince also took away the frost on his face and hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects.
Emperor Tianshun first asked about Concubine Wei’s injuries.
When the imperial physician inside heard Emperor Tianshun’s arrival, he hurriedly came out to pay his respects and reported to Concubine Wei’s injuries: “The dagger hits the vital point, fortunately he is treated in time, otherwise it will be dangerous!”
The palace maid at the door suddenly knelt in and cried and begged Emperor Tianshun to treat the fifth princess. The fifth princess' face was ruined...
Emperor Tianshun has always had a good temper. At this time, he heard the disfigure of the fifth princess and Concubine Wei almost died. His face was instantly covered with frost.
Seeing the anger brewing on Emperor Tianshun's face, the palace maid hurriedly pointed at Nalan Jing: "Your Majesty, it's her, the Princess of the Responsible Princess. She first poured tea on the fifth princess' face and poisoned it, causing the fifth princess' face to be rotten by poisonous attacks. She pretended to come to visit the fifth princess with the princess, but when the person was not paying attention, she stabbed the dagger at Concubine Wei. I saw her move with my own eyes."
The prince also knelt down: "Father, when the son-in-law was only turned around, Concubine Wei was lying on the ground, and there was a dagger on the ground. The princess was behind Concubine. If she wanted to hurt someone, she should be beside Concubine Wei, rather than standing there. Concubine dared to ask the father to thoroughly investigate the matter."
The palace maid trembled and said, "But I saw it with my own eyes..."
"I'll go in and see the imperial concubine." Emperor Tianshun walked inside with a calm expression.
Queen Liu looked at the eldest princess in the crowd with fear.
In short, if you don’t force confession, how can you know the truth?
The eldest princess looked at Nalan Jing with her eyes raised her eyes and looked at her clear eyes without any fluctuation: "The princess has a grudge against Concubine Wei?"
Zhenbeihou sneered: "The evidence is here, Li, do you still want to argue?"
She knelt on the ground, her eyes clear, and she said in a panic: "Your Majesty, my wife has never attacked Concubine Wei. Her injuries were not done by her. Please give your Majesty a clear guide."
Gu Bai immediately asked someone to search for daggers in a carpet style. The Imperial Guard led people to search the fifth princess's bedroom, while Gu Bai and the Minister of Justice took people to the concubine Wei's bedroom.
"You!" Her intention was too obvious. Zhenbei Hou was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and his eyes were about to break.
Prime Minister Liu also spoke: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wei will never joke about her life. She will definitely not be faked by her accusation of Li. She also asked His Majesty to deal with Li. Give Concubine Wei a fairness and do not let the court officials feel disappointed."
Concubine Wei returned to the bedroom to get things...
Gu Bai flipped through more than a dozen palace ladies before seeing what he wanted to see on the aphorism of a small palace maid.
Soon, Gu Bai had a bunch of dense confessions in his hand.
The eldest princess stood there and glanced at him: "The princess is guilty, and I and Your Majesty will never let go. Now the case is unclear and the crime is not decided. Why should the princess be imprisoned?"
Emperor Tianshun exclaimed: "Imperial Concubine!"
The prince subconsciously blocked Nalanjing and was pushed away by Nalanjing.
The Jinyiwei put the rice paper in front of them and ordered them to write down what they heard and saw on the paper.
Concubine Wei on the bed looked at Emperor Tianshun who was in a daze, and her eyes were sad: "Emperor, why... why... why is the princess trying to harm the fifth princess and my concubines. My concubine and the fifth princess have no grudges with the princess. Why is she so vicious? She wants to disfigure the fifth princess and kill me!"
Emperor Tianshun looked anxious and turned around and saw Nalan Jing in the crowd. His eyes were complicated and his face was solemn: "Concubine Wei said that the princess seriously injured her. Is there anything to explain to the princess?"
Gu Bai checked the dagger and saw the broken gap. He knew that the dagger must have a dagger sheath. He asked the commander of the Imperial Guard to find the dagger sheath.
Zhenbeihou gritted his teeth: "The princess should be imprisoned, too!"
Gu Bai's movements were quick, and he took the people who served the fifth princess's bedroom and the personal palace maid beside Concubine Wei, took out the "Eighteenth Level Purgatory" poison that Nalan Jing secretly gave him, and poured some of them into each of them.
Zhenbei Hou sneered: "The evidence is conclusive, what else do the eldest princess want to investigate? Could it be that she still wants to find a scapegoat to punish your daughter-in-law?"
The commander of the Imperial Guard shook his head. When they arrived, the blood-stained dagger fell to the ground and no dagger sheath was seen.
He stepped forward and half supported the person, shouting anxiously: "Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor!"
She asked Emperor Tianshun and everyone.
Gu Bai and the commander of the Imperial Guard asked for the dagger they came to pick up.
Concubine Wei woke up slowly under the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial physician. When she heard the princess’ last words, she was furious and fainted in an instant.
The fierce eyes of Zhenbei Hou and Prime Minister Liu shot at Nalan Jing together.
The eldest princess still had a slow posture and spoke in a cold voice: "The princess wants to disfigure the fifth princess and wants to kill Concubine Wei, why?"
The imperial physician hurriedly surrounded him and treated Concubine Wei.
The dagger was stained with blood all over his body, and the dagger was sharp, and you could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary dagger.
Most of them were unaware of the situation. They told the fifth princess that she had the imperial physician come to treat her after the burn on her face, and then her face turned rotten...
Zhenbei Hou knelt down and looked up with a fierce look on his face: "We need to ask the princess of the backer for this matter."
A warm smile appeared on the corner of the eldest princess' lips, and a cold voice sounded, and a storm sounded: "I have seen so many conspiracies, let alone a small trick of bitterness. Don't think that you're about to die, and you can drag others into the water. I tell you that even if Concubine Wei really dies, you have to find out the truth before you can be buried. Those who should be punished will hide in the coffin board and cannot escape."
She knew that as long as the eldest princess did not let go, Emperor Tianshun would not be impulsive, and he always respected his elder sister.
He asked Emperor Tianshun to imprison Nalanjing.
Nalanjing shook his head: "No."
Her excited voice, a sharp pain in her chest, spit out a mouthful of blood, dyed the white quilt red, and her body was shaking.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to say more.
Sure enough, under the pressure of Zhenbei Hou and Prime Minister Liu, Emperor Tianshun looked ugly and turned around and asked the eldest princess: "Sister Huang, what do you think about this?"
The eldest princess nodded: "It's actually true. Let the Minister of Justice and Commander Gu check it out carefully. Start by investigating it from a young age, such as the people who served in the fifth princess's palace and those who followed Concubine Wei, all of them will be thoroughly investigated."
Sure enough, in the dressing table box of Wei Guifei, I saw the dagger sheath with gems inlaid.
Gu Bai held the box and the aphorism, and quickly submitted it to the front of the sage.
At the same time, the Jinyiwei forced Concubine Wei's personal palace maid to inquire whether the dagger belonged to Concubine Wei.
Several palace maids could withstand the pain of "Eighteenth Level Purgatory" and quickly confessed that the dagger was indeed from Concubine Wei. The gems inlaid with the dagger sheath were priceless and were the dowry of Concubine Wei. I heard that when the Marquis of Zhenbei retreated to the Beidi aliens, the Beidi royal family offered it.
