Emperor Zhaoming sat on the main seat and looked at Princess Thirteen: "I heard Thirteen's voice outside. What are you mother and daughter arguing about?"
Concubine Shu said coquettishly: "It's nothing, it's just that Thirteen said some ignorant words, and I am teaching her..."
"Father, I don't!" The Thirteenth Princess was looking at the Eighth Princess and Wen Shaoqing who came together in shock. She immediately retorted after hearing Concubine Shu's words.
She looked at Emperor Zhaoming with an aggrieved look: "I just want to seek justice for Eighth Sister, and I also have good intentions!"
Concubine Shu was angry and angry: "Thirteen, you still won't shut up!"
"Let her tell." Emperor Zhaoming said calmly, "I also want to know what is going on."
Concubine Shu had no choice but to agree and secretly glared at the Thirteenth Princess, telling her to be careful what she said.
The Thirteenth Princess couldn't care less about this. She immediately explained the matter with added detail and added her own thoughts and analysis.
Finally, he said plausibly: "Father, please tell me, aren't I doing these things for Sister Eight? She has been drugged and plotted against her, and she almost...if we don't arrest her today, we will do it next time."
I don’t know what to do.”
Everyone heard the subtext in her words.
The Eighth Princess was extremely angry and laughed back: "So Thirteenth Sister cares about me so much, and I have to thank you?"
Wen Shaoqing held her hand with an expressionless face.
The Thirteenth Princess saw this and couldn't help but said: "Speaking of which, where did the Eighth Sister go when she hasn't been seen for so long? Why did she even change her clothes?"
The eighth princess's eyes flashed with anger, but she did not speak.
Wen Shaoqing said: "The eighth princess has been with me all the time. Why does the thirteenth princess ask this?"
The Thirteenth Princess said unwillingly: "Really? How do I remember that Brother Shaoqing didn't enter the palace..."
"I have been in the palace for a long time, but the thirteenth princess doesn't know." Wen Shaoqing blocked her words directly and held the eighth princess's hand tightly.
The Thirteenth Princess was secretly resentful. Seeing that her words failed to provoke her, she gave up bitterly. She turned around and said coquettishly to Emperor Zhaoming: "Father, do you think my request for a body search is too much?"
Emperor Zhaoming said nothing.
The prince said calmly: "It is indeed against the rules to ask the imperial concubine to be searched without any evidence."
"But I have already said, I am here for the Eighth Sister..." Princess Thirteen said.
"If it's really for me, why don't you put your cousin on trial and instead target unrelated people?" The Eighth Princess said angrily, "I can't understand Sister Thirteen's concern."
The thirteenth princess choked: "But my cousin has already said that he doesn't know anything..."
Princess Eight: "The prisoners in the prison said so too."
Thirteenth Princess: "..."
The prince asked: "Hu Hongzhi was captured as an assassin. Hasn't he been interrogated yet?"
Concubine Wen shook her head: "I haven't been tortured yet."
"Then let's delay it for now, and let's go through the torture again." The prince said lightly, "If he can survive it and still insists that he doesn't know what to say, then this statement will be somewhat credible."
"Is the prince going to give in?" Concubine Shu was a little unhappy.
The prince sneered: "Does he still have the nerve to complain?"
Concubine Shu: "..."
No matter what happened to the Eighth Princess, whether Hu Hongzhi was the mastermind or an accomplice, he could not be called unjust, not to mention that he violated palace rules and was captured alive as an assassin.
For this crime alone, it would not be too much to kill him with a stick. How could he be wronged?
Concubine Shu was feeling aggrieved and embarrassed. She had already scolded Hu Hongzhi a thousand times in her heart, so she simply kept a cold face and said nothing.
