Soon arriving at the entrance of the inner palace, Xiao Lingyue got out of the car and was taken all the way to Qianqing Hall.
In front of the Qianqing Hall, there were many imperial guards and the atmosphere was solemn.
"Your Majesty, the Lord of Anping County is here to bring you!" Eunuch Su entered the palace to announce.
"Pass." Emperor Zhaoming's solemn voice sounded.
"It is announced that the Lord of Anping County has entered the palace——"
The little eunuch's shrill voice was heard in the distance. Xiao Lingyue lowered her eyebrows and walked into the palace with a calm expression: "I have met Your Majesty."
She glanced out of the corner of her eyes, feeling slightly startled.
There were more people in the temple than she expected.
Zhan Beihan and the prince were both there, as well as more than a dozen important officials in the court, including the elders she had met before, Zhao Chengwei, Cui Li and others.
In addition, there were several people kneeling in the hall.
Shen Zhijiang, Aunt Hua, and Grandma Li were all present, and many of them were present.
"Get up." Emperor Zhaoming's voice sounded indistinguishable from joy to anger.
Xiao Lingyue's thoughts were racing and she roughly guessed something. She stood up calmly and stepped aside.
After a while, there was another report outside the palace. The imperial guards came in, raised their hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, the prisoner Shen Yuting has been brought here!"
Emperor Zhaoming: "Bring him in."
"yes."
Two imperial soldiers escorted Shen Yuting into the palace and pushed her to her knees on the ground.
Shen Yuting was wearing a prison uniform, her hair was disheveled, her face was covered with scars and looked miserable, she had heavy wooden shackles on her head and neck, and her ankles were also shackled, making her look like a serious criminal.
"Ting'er..." Aunt Hua, who was kneeling next to her, shouted in panic when she saw her daughter.
"Shut up, don't scream!" Shen Zhijiang quickly covered her mouth.
Shen Yuting raised her head in fear, tears rolling down her face: "Dad, aunt..."
She subconsciously knelt and crawled towards them, but the Forbidden Army held her shoulders tightly.
"Don't be arrogant in front of His Majesty!" the Imperial Guards shouted.
Shen Yuting subconsciously looked up and knelt on the ground trembling.
Emperor Zhaoming sat high on the dragon chair and said coldly: "We are all here, what is the mystery of the Shen family's witchcraft? Beihan, tell me."
"Yes, Father."
Zhan Beihan stood up expressionlessly and said in a cold voice: "I have found out the case. It is actually very simple. The witchcraft doll was not done by Shen Wan, but by Shen Zhijiang's concubine, Shen Yuting." !”
......What?!
Shen Zhijiang raised his head suddenly and his lips trembled.
All the important officials in the palace were in an uproar!
They had just learned about this, and someone immediately said, "Your Highness, King Yi, do you have any evidence?"
"have."
Zhan Bei Hanyi simply said "horrified" and signaled to Cui Li.
Cui Li, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, took out a letter and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the oral testimony of the Shen family members that His Royal Highness King Yi, Wei Chen and Lord Zhao jointly tried. Please see it."
He raised the fold with both hands, and Eunuch Su quickly stepped forward and presented the fold to Emperor Zhaoming.
Emperor Zhaoming lowered his head and looked at the book.
Cui Lidao: "According to the testimony, Shen Yuting's personal maids Cuiyu and Cuiguo both confessed that they were the ones who found the materials for Shen Yuting to make witchcraft. Among them, the doll was sewn by Cuiyu on Shen Yuting's order, with silver needles. , cinnabar and other items were purchased from the drug store by Cuiguo on orders.
Wei Chen has already sent someone to the drug store to ask.
The shopkeeper, the doctor in charge, and the waiter of the drug store all testified that it was Cui Guo who bought the items.
In addition, the birth date and birth date on the yellow paper attached to the witchcraft doll were written by Shen Yuting herself.
