"Prince Cheng, please continue to hear the case!"

Xiao Lintian did not call Concubine Shao to be calm, Concubine Shao could only kneel down.

Prince Cheng should also turn a blind eye and continued, "There is evidence that the Empress Dowager was not poisoned. Wanqishan, lift the mouse up!"

Wanqishan lifted up a few still alive mice.

Prince Cheng explained to the officials that these mice were fed the blood of the Empress Dowager.

Seeing these mice still jumping around, even Censor Pan couldn't find any refutation.

King Kang was concerned about Xiao Lintian's threat just now and did not dare to refute casually.

Prince Cheng asked Wanqishan to take out the silk that the rats gnawed, and the poisoned rats that had been soaked in silk water were fed to death.

"Facts have proved that the Empress Dowager died of sudden heart failure. Her body was ruined. It was caused by someone who had ulterior motives. She replaced these silks soaked in the fragrance of poisonous rats, and then chiseled open the lid of the coffin and put them in the rat!"

When Prince Cheng said this, his eyes fell on the kneeling Concubine Shao.

"I have interrogated the deputy chief officer who manages funeral matters. According to what she said, Teng Xiang from Concubine Shao's palace went to get the burial silk!"

When Concubine Shao heard this, she said anxiously: "Prince Cheng, the Empress Dowager died in a hurry last night. The Empress was not in the palace. The Palace helped to preside over the empress dowager's burial. Teng Xiang did go to collect it according to the order of the Palace.

Bury the silk!”

"But this is not enough to prove that Teng Xiang has tampered with the silk! The deputy chief officer in charge of funeral affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will also change the silk."

Prince Cheng said in a deep voice: "Teng Xiang!"

Two nannies brought Teng Xiang up.

Teng Xiang looked calm and knelt down and said, "Prince Cheng, I really don't know when the silk was touched. Teng Xiang dared to protect her life and never changed her silk!"

"The deputy chief officer of the Internal Affairs Office manages funeral matters!"

The deputy secretary was also brought up, and he knelt down and looked like he was swearing, declaring that the silk was fine. He didn't know how the silk was stained with the poisonous rat fragrance.

The deputy secretary and Teng Xiang each had their own opinions. Both of them were suspected of changing silk. The officials looked at Prince Cheng and Xiao Lintian, not knowing how they wanted to determine who these two were lying.

Prince Cheng was not in a hurry, looked at the two of them coldly, and said, "One of you changed to the silk that was soaked in the fragrance of poisonous rats, so that the rats could enter the coffin and destroyed the body of the Empress Dowager. You

Do you know that this is a death sentence!”

"I just swore in front of the coffin of the Empress Dowager, and caught the murderer who was plotting against the Empress Dowager, and wanted to throw him into the snake cave and let him suffer from thousands of snakes to death!"

Prince Cheng's words made Teng Xiang and the deputy secretary change their faces, and the same was true for those officials to hear them.

This snake cave was not created by Prince Cheng to intimidate them. There is a cave in the imperial capital Wanshou Mountain, which contains many poisonous snakes. Although it is not as exaggerated as Wanshou snakes, there are thousands of them.

This is torture that was found in the previous dynasty, and it is specifically used to execute those criminals who are extremely guilty...

"If you two think that I can't check who you are lying, you're wrong!"

Prince Cheng shouted sternly: "I am just giving you a chance. As long as I call you truthfully, I will promise him a complete corpse to avoid the pain of gnawing on thousands of snakes!"

The deputy secretary said loudly: "Prince Cheng, there is no problem with the silk sent by the subordinates. If the subordinates are confirmed to be lying, the subordinates are willing to be eaten by thousands of snakes until they die!"

When the deputy secretary said this, Teng Xiang could only make the same vow with a gritted bullet.

She believed that as long as she bit herself and refused to admit it, Prince Cheng would never find out that she had changed into silk.

Seeing this, Prince Cheng said in a deep voice: "Take in with Teng Xiang and bring in the silk nanny!"
