"Wait a minute." Emperor Zhaochu suddenly spoke and asked Shangguan Yue in a low and cold voice, "You said you were ordered by someone else?"
"Yes, yes." Facing the emperor's question, Shangguan Yue's lips trembled when she spoke.
"Who instigated you? Is there any evidence?" Emperor Zhaochu's eyes were as bright as a torch, as if he could see through people's hearts.
"It's Princess Han!" Shangguan Yue insisted.
Today, she must let Xie Yao be buried with her!
Chu Han's face turned cold and his voice was as cold as ice, "Shangguanyue, now that things have come to this, you'd better put away your useful tricks! Stop trying to slander Xie Yao!"
"Your Majesty, I did not slander her, but it is indeed the case. It was she who arranged all the drama herself and forced me to help her complete it! She also asked me to deliberately frame her, and then left many loopholes for her to clear her suspicions.
"Shangguanyue said seriously and conclusively.
"Is there any evidence?" Emperor Zhaochu asked again in a heart-stoppingly deep voice.
"No... Princess Han is very cunning and didn't give me a chance to leave any evidence!" Facing the emperor's questioning, Shangguan Yue's hands and legs couldn't stop trembling slightly.
"If there is no evidence, you are making a false accusation! Only if you provide evidence can we prove that it was Princess Han who actually instigated you!" The queen suddenly spoke, emphasizing the word evidence, and stared at Shangguan Yue.
Shangguan Yue almost killed Chu Rui, and she would not let Shangguan Yue go. But it would be great if Xie Yao could be involved.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yue immediately understood the queen's intention.
Chu Han's eyes were cold, "Shangguanyue, the evidence of your plot to murder Princess Rui is conclusive, and you cannot deny it!"
"I'm not denying it! She was the one who instigated me!" Shangguan Yue immediately refuted Chu Han, then broke away from the guards, knelt down and kowtowed to the queen, "I ask the queen mother to make the decision for me, it was Princess Han who instigated me to murder Princess Rui.
.If this were not the case, I would never do anything harmful to Princess Rui!"
"The bloody dress I was wearing was given to me by Princess Han! She said she had two, and asked me to wear one on purpose to frame her, saying that she would have her own way out of trouble, and then no one would doubt her!"
????"That bloody dress is the evidence that she framed me!"
The queen's phoenix eyes flashed slightly, "Lao Wu, does Princess Han have a dress similar to the blood dress?"
Chu Han responded with a cold expression, "Mother, Shangguan Yue conspired to murder Princess Rui. The evidence is conclusive. There is no one behind the scenes. Please be aware of it!"
"I want to ask you, does Princess Han have clothes similar to the blood clothes?" The queen's face darkened.
Upon seeing this, Shangguan Yue immediately spoke first, "The prince is thinking only of the princess now, so naturally he won't answer. If the queen wants to know the truth, she will have someone go to Prince Han's Mansion to search and find out."
Chu Han's cold eyes instantly narrowed, and the flashing cold light in them was breathtaking.
???"If the Queen Mother judged Xie Yao as the mastermind based on a piece of clothing, wouldn't everyone who owns this piece of clothing be suspected?"
The Queen's face suddenly looked a little ugly after being contradicted in this way, "Lao Wu, do you want to give orders to me?"
"I don't dare. I'm just telling the truth. That piece of clothing was purchased from a clothing store and was not custom-made, so Xie Yao must not be the only one who owns that piece of clothing." Chu Han replied neither humble nor arrogant.
The Queen sneered, "Lao Wu, since you trust Princess Han so much, what evidence is there to prove that she is not the instigator?"
Chu Han's expression tightened, "Mother, Xie Yao and Shangguan Yue have a bad relationship. Even if Xie Yao instructs her, Shangguan Yue will not obey."
"My son is willing to guarantee with his life that Xie Yao never participated in the assassination of Princess Rui! Only Shangguan Yue participated in this matter!"
The queen's phoenix eyes narrowed coldly, and she took a deep look at Chu Han.
Shangguan Yue raised her head in disbelief. She didn't expect that Chu Han would protect Xie Yao to such an extent!
Immediately she lowered her head, and a malicious light flashed across her eyes.
The more this happens, the more she wants Xie Yao to die!
"Your Majesty, now that the matter is over, you should stop protecting the princess like this!" Shangguan Yue looked at the queen with a troubled look on her face.
"It was indeed Xie Yao who instigated me to do this! The reason why I kept hiding it was because the prince valued her very much. I knew I would die, so I took all the blame for the prince."
"Shangguanyue!" Chu Han shouted, with danger hidden in his voice.
Hearing Chu Han's cold scolding, Shangguan Yue felt desolate in her heart.
???Did he forget everything he had done?
Now, she is mortal, there is nothing to be afraid of!
It was Xie Yao who caused everything now, she will not let her go!
Since Chu Han is so nervous about Xie Yao, then she will let Chu Han taste the feeling of losing Xie Yao!
On the surface, she pretended to be afraid of being wronged, and even stayed away from Chu Han.
"You and Princess Han, who stabbed Rui'er? Why did she instigate you?" The queen's eyes were deep, "If there are any loopholes in your words, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Shangguan Yue rolled her eyes and continued: "Mother knows it well! My daughter-in-law dare not lie! The princess had a grudge against the move of the palace, but she had no choice but to do anything to the King of Yue, so she attacked the King of Yue's sister, Princess Rui."
"That's nonsense!" Chu Han said with a cold face, "Father, Shangguan Yue deliberately framed him! It's unbelievable! Erchen and Xie Yao have already found out about this matter. The murderer is Shangguan Yue, and all the evidence has been presented.
When it happened, Xie Yao went to Pingdonghou to help and was not at Prince Han's Mansion at all!"
At this time, Eunuch Liu came in and reported, "Your Majesty, His Highness the King Mu wants to see you."
Chu Han's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he straightened his back without moving.
Shangguan Yueze's heart skipped a beat. What was Chu Mu doing here?
Emperor Zhaochu refused in a deep voice, "I have something to take care of, so I won't see you."
"Prince Mu said that he came here precisely because of the assassination of Princess Rui." Eunuch Liu said.
Emperor Zhaochu's eyes darkened slightly, "Xuan."
"Yes." Eunuch Liu exited.
When Shangguan Yue heard what Eunuch Liu said, her heart immediately beat faster. She wanted to hide or withdraw immediately!
Why did Chu Mu come? What on earth was he going to do?
Chu Han noticed that Shangguan Yue was very nervous and his dark eyes deepened.
Soon, Chu Mu came in from the outside and bowed and saluted, "I have met my father and my queen. I wish to pay my respects to my father and my queen."
"Are you here because of Rui'er's assassination?" Emperor Zhaochu said, without the coldness towards Chu Han in his voice.
"Exactly." Chu Mu's face was still a little pale, as if he was seriously ill.
When Emperor Zhaochu saw it, he directly ordered, "Come here and give King Mu a seat."
"yes."
The seat was brought over, but Chu Mu did not sit down. He glanced at Shangguan Yue on the ground and Chu Han, who was standing with his hands down, and asked aloud: "I heard that the fifth brother and the fifth brother-in-law were investigating the assassination of Princess Rui.
