Soon he arrived at the gate of the inner palace. Xiao Lingyue got out of the car and was taken all the way to the Ganqing Hall.
In front of the Ganqing Hall, there were many imperial guards standing in front of the temple, and the atmosphere was solemn.
"Report to Your Majesty, County Lord Anping is here!" Eunuch Su entered the palace to inform.
"Chuan." Emperor Zhaoming's solemn voice sounded.
"The lord of Anping County entered the hall--"
The little eunuch's sharp voice spread from afar. Xiao Lingyue lowered her eyebrows and walked into the hall with a calm expression: "I have seen Your Majesty."
She glanced at the sight of her eyes and felt a little shocked.
There were more people in the temple than she thought.
Zhan Beihan and the prince were there, and there were more than a dozen important officials in the court, including several cabinet 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 Madam Li were among the list, and many of them were all here.
"Get up." Emperor Zhaoming's voice was heard without discerning his joy and anger.
Xiao Lingyue's thoughts changed rapidly and guessed something. She stood up calmly and retreated to the side.
After a while, there was another report outside the hall. The imperial guards came in and bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the criminal Shen Yuting is brought here!"
Emperor Zhaoming: "Bring it in."
"yes."
Two imperial guards escorted Shen Yuting into the hall and pressed her to kneel on the ground.
Shen Yuting was wearing a prison uniform, with a disheveled hair, a scar on her face, a thick wooden shackle on her head and neck, and her ankles were locked in shackles, as if she was a serious crime.
"Ting'er..." Aunt Hua, who was kneeling beside her, shouted sadly when she saw her daughter.
"Shut up, don't scream!" Shen Zhijiang quickly covered her mouth.
Shen Yuting raised her head in panic, and tears rolled down her face: "Dad, aunt..."
She subconsciously knelt down and wanted to go to them, but the imperial guards pressed her shoulders tightly.
"Don't be arrogant in front of Your Majesty!" the imperial guard shouted.
Shen Yuting subconsciously looked up and knelt on the ground tremblingly.
Emperor Zhaoming sat high on the dragon throne and said coldly: "There are all people, what is the mystery of the Shen family's witchcraft? Beihan, you say."
"Yes, Father."
Zhan Beihan stood up expressionlessly and said coldly: "The minister has found out in this case, it is actually very simple. The witchcraft doll was not done by Chen Wan, but by Shen Zhijiang's concubine daughter, Shen Yuting. !”
......What?!
Shen Zhijiang raised his head suddenly and his lips shook.
The officials in the palace were in an uproar!
As soon as they learned about this, someone immediately spoke, "Your Highness, does it have any evidence?"
"have."
Zhan Bei Hanyi was shocked and signaled Cui Li.
Cui Li, the Minister of Justice, took out a memorial and said respectfully: "Report to Your Majesty, this is the confession and testimony of the Shen family that His Highness, the empress and Lord Zhao, were tried together. Please check it out."
He held the note high with both hands, and Eunuch Su quickly walked forward and presented the note to Emperor Zhaoming.
Emperor Zhaoming looked down at the memorial.
Cui Li said: "According to the testimony, Shen Yuting's personal maid Cui Yu and Cui Guo have both admitted that they found materials for Shen Yuting to make witchcraft. Among them, the doll was sewn by Shen Yuting's order, and the silver needle , cinnabar and other substances were purchased from the medicine shop.
Weichen has sent someone to the pharmacy to ask.
The shopkeeper, doctor and waiter of the medicine shop all had confessions that it was confirmed that it was something Cuiguo himself bought.
In addition, the yellow paper pasted on the witch doll was written by Shen Yuting himself.
