"Your Majesty, I have made a great discovery..."

Chen Cao had just opened his mouth.

Zhao Jieyu immediately stepped forward and threatened Chen Cao directly:

"You slut! If you dare to say a single word, I will kill you!"

"I naturally believe it."

Chen Cao glanced at Concubine Zhao, with a neither humble nor arrogant attitude, "After all, Concubine Zhao, in order to keep her murder secret hidden, even dared to kill the princess personally appointed by the emperor many times."

She said it in a nonchalant tone.

Concubine Zhao was instantly enraged, so angry that she wanted to go forward and tear up the Chen Cao:

"You slut! Who gave you the courage to frame me like this in front of me?

"Tell me! How much did the Queen and Princess Lingfu offer you to bribe you?"

She kept saying and insisting that Chen Cao was instructed by Shuangbao.

Shuang Bao couldn't help but retort in a baby voice, "Shuang Bao didn't bribe Sister Chen Cao! Sister Chen Cao is a good person!"

Chen Cao was immediately amused.

The next moment, she quickly became serious again and didn't even pay attention to Concubine Zhao's mad dog accusations.

She faced Emperor Chengxuan directly and continued to report, "Your Majesty, I have discovered that before entering the palace, Concubine Zhao murdered her cousin who had come to seek refuge with the Zhao family. Her motive was to seize her stunning face."

"You're talking nonsense! I have never done such a thing! The Zhao family has never had any cousin coming to seek refuge with us!" Concubine Zhao immediately denied it.

"Zhao Jieyushi, if you continue to interfere with Chen Cao's report, I will have no choice but to order someone to block your mouth so that you can't say a word." Emperor Chengxuan gave her a warning look.

Concubine Zhao gritted her teeth.

She was unwilling, but she could only shut her mouth tightly.

"Go on." Emperor Cheng Xuan gestured to Chen Cao.

"Yes, this cousin was originally the granddaughter of the deceased Madam Zhao. Her fiancé was in the capital, and when the time came to discuss marriage, she came with an engagement letter and a token of love. Upon arrival, she learned that Madam Zhao had passed away. She wanted to leave, but Concubine Zhao warmly persuaded her to stay, saying that the Zhao family was willing to help her meet her fiancé. However, she ended up luring her to an uninhabited house, peeling off her skin, and then brutally murdering her."

Chen Cao listed the crimes of Concubine Zhao word by word.

"After the incident, Zhao Jieyu's parents found out about it, but chose to conceal it for Zhao Jieyu. They announced to the public that Zhao Jieyu had suffered a facial injury and found a famous doctor to perform a face transplant on her. This is how she later became this stunningly beautiful face.

"After half a year, because there was no news of my cousin, her family felt something was wrong and went to the capital to look for her. They first sought help from the Zhao family. In order to put an end to the matter once and for all, Concubine Zhao tricked my cousin's family of five into the capital and killed them all.

"Zhao Jieyu's parents, feeling guilty, erected an anonymous monument for their family of six and performed rituals for several days in a row, all to protect the Zhao family from future vengeance by the ghosts of my cousin's family."

"Daddy, my cousin's family is so pitiful!" Xiao Shuangbao looked distressed when he heard this.

"Don't worry, Daddy will definitely seek justice for their entire family." Emperor Cheng Xuan touched her little head and comforted her.

Zhao Jieyu was so stimulated by these words that she wanted to speak madly again.

But Emperor Cheng Xuan stopped her with just one look.

"Chen Cao, do you have any evidence for what you have found?" Emperor Cheng Xuan asked.

Xiao Shuangbao immediately turned his head and looked at Chen Cao.

Chen Cao was instantly touched by the little princess's head turning around.

She forced herself to suppress her smile and tried to speak seriously:

"Your Majesty, after Concubine Zhao murdered my cousin, she dumped the body into a mass grave.

"But she did not destroy the engagement certificate and the token of engagement on her cousin's body. Instead, she threw them into a mass grave. Later, they were found by a ragpicker who pawned the token of engagement.

"What a coincidence, the owner of this pawnshop is my cousin's fiancé's family.

"After asking, we learned that the token was found by a beggar on a faceless female corpse in a mass grave. The fiancé immediately led his men to the mass grave and confirmed that it was his fiancée based on a birthmark with a strange pattern on the faceless woman's arm.

"Later, by chance, the fiancé saw Concubine Zhao, who looked exactly like his cousin. He was shocked and went to ask about it, but Concubine Zhao ordered her to beat him up.

"Afterwards, the fiancé learned that Concubine Zhao's face had never looked like this before. He realized that the people who killed his cousin were most likely the Zhao family, and their goal was this face of his cousin.

"Zhao Jieyu's father was a minister in the imperial court, her mother was a princess, her uncle was a duke, and her fiancé's family were just merchants who ran a pawnshop in the capital.

“They were afraid of bringing trouble to their families, so they moved away from the capital.

"But I never imagined that the Zhao family had no intention of letting them go. They had been monitoring their every move. After my fiancé and his family left Beijing, they sent someone to kill them on the way. Afterwards, they disguised themselves as bandits to rob them and took all of my fiancé and his family's property for themselves."

When Chen Cao said this, Concubine Zhao could no longer bear it.

She stared at Chen Cao with an unpleasant expression, still trying to argue, "You're talking nonsense! You've made up this mess of stories just to bring me down! You've said so much, but can you provide any evidence?"

She was certain that the murder and destruction of the body were done very cleanly.

There is absolutely no way Chen Cao can get any evidence!

"Empress Concubine, God is watching what you do. You think you have done everything perfectly, but in fact, God has secretly left evidence of your crime, and it has already been discovered!"

Chen Cao said with certainty.

"Wow! Sister Chen Cao is so awesome!" Little Shuangbao was excited by her words.

Emperor Cheng Xuan looked at the little baby with a hint of doting in his eyes.

Chen Cao also quickly glanced at his lovely little princess.

Then, she continued in a serious tone, "Your Majesty, I have only been out of the palace for three days. The reason I was able to investigate these facts so smoothly is because Zhou Shaoqing of the Dali Temple has been secretly investigating this case for a long time. It has been more than a year since Concubine Zhao entered the palace, and Zhou Shaoqing stumbled upon this murder case more than half a year ago.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Shaoqing is waiting outside the palace. He has all the case files in his hands.

"As for the rest, please ask Zhou Shaoqing to explain it to the emperor!"

Chen Cao said.

No matter whether it was her or Xiao Shuangbao before, no matter what was said, Concubine Zhao would never admit it.

But at this time, when she heard Chen Cao talking about Zhou Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, Concubine Zhao finally felt scared!

"Your Majesty! I disagree! This is a family affair between me and Your Majesty, how can outsiders interfere? What about Zhou Shaoqing from the Dali Temple? From my perspective, it's clear that the Empress is trying to clear herself of suspicion by temporarily bribing someone who wants to frame me!"

"Your Majesty, I am wronged. Please help me!"

As Concubine Zhao spoke, she not only knelt down, which was very rare, but even shed a few tears.
