Chu Han glanced at Chu Mu and said, "The truth has been revealed, Shangguan Yue is the real murderer."
"Shangguanyue?" Chu Mu raised his eyebrows, "I remember that she had a good relationship with Princess Rui. How could she suddenly kill someone? This is unreasonable!"
"The evidence and testimonies are all here. If fourth brother is curious, he will know at a glance." Chu Han said solemnly.
"Of course I want to take a look. I didn't expect that the fifth brother and the fifth brother-in-law would solve the case in just a few hours? This is too fast. I hope the fifth brother and the fifth brother-in-law take it seriously.
, It’s better that there is no fraud!” Chu Mu said angrily, and then walked to the evidence and testimony.
Chu Han heard the meaning of Chu Mu's words and sneered coldly, "I never do anything deceitful, not to mention that this matter concerns the face of Princess Rui and the royal family, so naturally I won't be careless!"
The queen captured the useful information and asked Chu Han, "Lao Wu, have you ever investigated the possible relationship between this matter and Princess Han?"
"I checked. This matter has nothing to do with her." Chu Han responded.
When he first learned about this incident, he immediately sealed Prince Han's Mansion and Purple Smoke Pavilion in order to find evidence to clear Xie Yao's suspicion.
"Is there any evidence? I have not seen it." The queen asked.
"At the beginning of the investigation, it was discovered that Xie Yao was not at Prince Han's Mansion when the incident occurred, but had just gone to Pingdong Hou Mansion not long ago to prepare the details of the funeral ceremony. Since he was not present, there is no possibility of committing murder!" Chu Han said
respond.
"Just because there was no time to commit the crime does not mean that he was not the murderer. Shangguan Yue has already confessed that this matter was ordered by Xie Yao. Did you know about this before?" The queen's face was cold, trying to find an opportunity to convict Xie Yao.
"Shangguanyue never mentioned it. It was the first time I mentioned it after I got here." Chu Han said bluntly without any hesitation.
"You mean, Shangguan Yue made a last-minute decision?" The queen's face darkened.
"Indeed." Chu Han's back was straight.
Chu Mu's dark eyes flashed, and he suddenly said: "Since Shangguan's side concubine has confessed, and there is Princess Han behind the scenes, why not fifth brother to investigate again, and no matter what the result is, there will be an explanation."
"King Mu, you want to know the facts of the case. I won't stop you, but that doesn't mean you can participate in the case arbitrarily." Chu Hanhan said in a cold voice.
Chu Mu twitched the corner of his mouth and revealed a sneer, "I remember that Shangguan's side concubine had a good relationship with Princess Rui. Now she suddenly attempted to murder her. Your closing statement stated that she was just to frame Princess Han. This reason is a bit far-fetched. If
Being coerced by Princess Han is more reasonable."
Chu Han's eyes sharpened and he was about to refute Chu Mu's statement.
"Listen to what the fourth child said. Your Majesty, I think of something." The queen took over the words and said to Emperor Zhaochu: "Rui'er was verbally humiliated by Princess Han several times, and was even poisoned by Princess Han.
, face covered with abscesses.”
"There has been a long-standing grudge between Princess Han and Rui'er. If it comes to assassinating Rui'er, Princess Han has enough motives."
Emperor Zhaochu's deep eyes looked at Shangguan Yue with pressure, "Were you ordered to assassinate Rui'er? If you dare to deceive you, I will punish your nine tribes!"
Shangguan Yue quickly kowtowed to Emperor Zhaochu, "My daughter-in-law must tell the truth and will not hide a word."
"Father, Emperor Mingjian, I was forced by Princess Han, so I did it as a last resort! Princess Rui had already fainted at that time. If I really wanted to kill her, it would be easy. But Princess Rui is usually very nice to me, so I couldn't bear to do it!" Shangguan said.
Yue said respectfully, feeling secretly happy.
When Shangguan Yue finished speaking, Emperor Zhaochu remained calm and showed no attitude.
"This is just her one-sided statement." There was no expression on Chu Han's face, and his eyes were unfathomable. "This matter still needs to be investigated. I will report it after I have found out."
In the current situation, only by waiting for Xie Yao to come and confront Guan Yue can the suspicion be cleared. Before that, he had to prevent the situation from further fermenting.
After saying that, he would order someone to take Shangguan Yue down.
In just a few hours, his understanding of Shangguan Yue was subverted far more than before!
However, his mentality is much calmer than before, and he is even a little bearish.
No matter what despicable actions the former Shangguan Yue made or what shameless words she said, he would not be surprised anymore.
He had been blinded all along, and it was only now that he could see clearly.
"There's no need to go to so much trouble. Just call the fifth sister-in-law and confront her face to face." Chu Mu immediately stopped him, his eyes gloomy.
Shangguan Yue is now a prisoner. If she is taken to prison, the fetus in the house may not be able to bear it!
She almost had a miscarriage before, and he would never allow any accidents to happen to his child!
Emperor Zhao Chu's expression darkened, and after taking a look at Chu Mu, he directly issued an order, "Come here, go and invite Princess Han here. Also, take Shangguan Yue down. I don't want to see her now. Wait for Princess Han.
Here we are, bring them all together!"
"Yes." The guards immediately came in from outside.
"Father." Chu Mu said quickly.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Zhaochu said in a deep voice.
"... Before I entered the palace, I heard that the funeral ceremony at Pingdong Hou Mansion will be over soon. If I send someone to call now, Princess Han should be back soon. There is no need to let Shangguan's concubine go out.
It's troublesome." Chu Mu thought for a moment and said.
"She is about to die, do you want her to stay in the imperial study room for a long time?" Emperor Zhaochu rebuked coldly, and the atmosphere in the imperial study room dropped sharply.
Chu Mu was puzzled, "A dying person? If she was forced by Princess Han, she should not be punished until death!"
"Do you want to plead for her?" Emperor Zhaochu's eyes were as deep as a bottomless abyss.
"My son... I do have this intention." Chu Mu did not dare to say no. If his father really executed Shangguan Yue, he would be in trouble. "Princess Han and Shangguan's concubine are both the wives and concubines of the fifth brother, and they are the only fifth brother.
Two people. If both of them are beheaded because of Princess Rui's matter, wouldn't the fifth brother be left alone? It would be unlucky."
Emperor Zhaochu's eyes were already covered with frost, and he stared deeply at Chu Mu.
Upon seeing this, Shangguan Yue spoke quickly and took advantage of the opportunity to plead with the Minister of Finance, "Father, King Mu also has good intentions, and please don't blame me. My daughter-in-law knows that she has sinned deeply, and she does not ask her father for forgiveness, but only asks her father not to anger the minister."
It’s the government.”
Chu Mu's eyes were sharp and he glared at Shangguan Yue angrily.
How dare this stupid woman kill his child?!
Emperor Zhaochu saw the fierceness in Chu Mu's eyes and said directly: "I have made up my mind. Shangguan Yue's murder of Rui'er is unforgivable. After the matter is found out, all those who participated in the murder of Rui'er will be punished.
