Zhao Jin also looked calm and composed. He had already guessed that Concubine Jing would be tampering with him behind his back.
No matter what kind of tricks he does behind his back, as long as he can hold his own, he will be blocked by soldiers and covered by water and earth.
No matter what, Concubine Jing is bound to be brought down today.
Not long after, a young eunuch was arrested in the palace of His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Who are you?"
The little eunuch trembled and said, "Back to the emperor, this servant is a little eunuch who lives only a kilometer away from His Highness the Crown Prince. Please forgive me. I don't know anything."
The emperor looked into his eyes and said firmly, "Then why is His Highness Prince Ning so bedridden?"
The little eunuch's eyes were panicked, and he glanced at Zhao Jin intentionally or unintentionally.
"Back to your Majesty, I don't know why His Highness Prince Ning was poisoned. How dare you poison me? Your Majesty, please find out clearly."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present took a deep breath.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and stared at the man in front of him like a hawk.
"No one has ever told you that His Highness Prince Ning was poisoned. How did you know that he was poisoned?"
After hearing this, the little prince was stunned for a moment.
He hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, it was a slave who heard someone say this in the palace, so, so~"
Concubine Jing came over and slapped him in the face.
"What a slave, you dare to poison the prince in broad daylight in the palace. Your Highness, Prince Ning, has never offended anyone in the palace. Why are you so cruel to him?"
On the one hand, Jing Guifei is clearing the relationship between herself and on the other hand, she is letting the emperor see how virtuous she is.
"Your Majesty, please spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life. This is really not the work of a slave."
Concubine Jing threw the large bottle of poison next to him, and then looked at him fiercely and said, "You said it was not you who poisoned me, so why did the poison found from you be exactly the same as the poison that was taken by your Highness?"
.”
The eunuch didn't dare to speak for a moment.
Concubine Jing snorted coldly, "I'm sorry you don't have the guts. What's more, you are just a eunuch. Where can you get this poison? If someone didn't instruct you to do this behind your back, even if I give you two more guts,
, you don’t dare to frame Long Zi.”
The emperor's deep voice sounded throughout the palace. Although the voice was not very bright, it was full of power and the majesty did not need to be described in words.
"Your Highness, no matter what, this palace servant belongs to you after all. What kind of explanation do you want to give me?"
Zhao Jin knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Father, this is not what I say, but someone is framing me."
Concubine Jing's eyes shone with a cold light, which was even colder than the cold light from the tip of the knife.
"Your Highness, your whole person has changed since you entered the East Palace. You are no longer the prince who was loyal to the underground and the people. Now that the evidence of the crime is placed in front of you, do you still deny it?"
Zhao Jin mocked her coldly.
"My concubine, why are you so eager to make me admit this crime? What are your intentions?"
Concubine Jing said angrily, "Now that death is imminent, are you still arguing? This eunuch is from your palace. If you didn't instruct him, where did he get this medicine?"
"My concubine, this medicine is from Korea, but Korean people don't have such strong medicine. Does your concubine really not know what is going on?"
The emperor interrupted them angrily.
"Okay, you all have your own say. I've had enough of your intrigues. If you can't produce evidence, you must be tortured."
Concubine Jing gave the little eunuch a look.
"Just tell me now. The Emperor is here to make the decision for you, and others won't dare to attack you behind your back."
The little eunuch nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know exactly who did these things, but I do know one thing, that is, Concubine Jing made this happen.
The medicine was given to the slave and asked to be placed in the palace of His Highness the Crown Prince."
After hearing these words, Concubine Jing's eyes suddenly changed.
She had already planned all these things and everything was foolproof, but why did this little eunuch suddenly fall to the side of the prince?
Concubine Jing cried and shouted to avenge herself.
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me. This little eunuch is slandering me at first glance. Why didn't he say something to His Highness the Crown Prince? How can I get this if I stay in this palace all day without leaving the door or taking a step forward?
Where's the poison?"
The emperor did not listen to Concubine Jing's excuse.
"What you said is true, so what evidence do you have?"
The little eunuch nodded and took out a letter from his pocket.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Jing threatened the slave with his parents and brothers. If the slave doesn't listen to him and frames His Highness the Crown Prince, then she will kill the slave's family, Your Majesty."
This letter is from Concubine Jing and the Korean side. What they said is exactly about this matter.
Concubine Jing was helpless. Now that the letter was written in black and white, how could he get out of the situation he was in?
"Your Majesty, this is clearly trying to frame me. This little eunuch has never been to my palace. Even if I wanted to send letters to South Korea, how could he get such a letter?"
Zhao Jin sneered, and then asked someone to take out the pigeon.
"The token your concubine mentioned is this homing pigeon. You must recognize it, right?"
Korean homing pigeons are tied with a red ribbon and the seal of the Korean royal family is printed on it.
The emperor squinted his eyes and thought carefully, then he burst into laughter. Finally, his entire face was stained with gloom.
"Your mother's family is a Korean scholar-bureaucrat, and this poison also comes from Korea. What's more, you still have letters to and from Korea. At this point, what else do you have to say."
Concubine Jing knew that he had tricked His Highness the Crown Prince, but under the current circumstances, he could only keep silent and refuse to admit it.
"Your Majesty, although all the evidence now points to Concubine Chen, don't you understand who I am? I am just a woman with no power to restrain a chicken. How could I have such a plan? Moreover,
I have always treated His Highness Prince Ning as my own child, so how could I harm him?"
The emperor crossed the string of beads in his hand. He did not want the beads to be stained with the blood of his brothers, but his descendants would have to soak the beads in blood.
Over the years, you have tested my heart three times every time. I have forgiven you time and time again because you have been with me for so long. But now, look at the things you have done, I really regret it.
