Chapter 161 Princess Anyang, Death
"The sachet contains the fragrance-free seeds!" said the imperial physician after examination.
Princess Anyang immediately cried out, "This is a frame-up! Someone must have deliberately framed me!"
She had clearly thrown the sachet away!
Everyone was stunned.
Dong Xiqi was also anxious when she saw this scene. She couldn't have a mother who poisoned her husband. Once Princess Anyang was finished, she, as a daughter, would suffer as well.
"Everyone, my mother must have been framed. How could the murderer leave the sachet with him and wait for someone to investigate? The real murderer must have deliberately thrown the sachet at my mother's seat!" Dong Xiqi said with a wronged look on his face:
"My mother and father have always loved each other, there is absolutely no reason for me to do this."
She gave a motive for the crime...
Many people unconsciously looked towards the second branch of the Dong family and the prince's gang.
In comparison, it does look like a frame-up.
"Since the Wuxiangzi was found under the eldest princess' seat, why was only Marquis Yongning poisoned, and how come the eldest princess was fine?" Jiang Rong raised her eyebrows slightly.
When she heard that Marquis Yongning was poisoned, she asked Feicui to help her out to watch the fun.
Chu Jue immediately picked up the teacup on the table, identified it and said, "She didn't drink Chengyue Brew!"
"Princess Anyang, all the guests are drinking Chengyue wine today, why did you change the wine?" Chu Shouchen looked at her suspiciously.
Princess Anyang panicked and used the excuse she had prepared long ago, "I am not feeling well today, so I don't want to drink."
If Wu Xiangzi's sachet had not been found under her seat, no one would have taken her drinking seriously.
But now it seems particularly coincidental.
Princess Anyang could only cry out, "If it was me who did it, why didn't I just throw away the sachet and wait for others to investigate!"
"But you deliberately didn't drink, which is very suspicious." Chu Jue said, and a light bulb went off in his head:
"As for the sachet... maybe you haven't had time to deal with it! Didn't the Northern Prince and the Xun family suddenly fight just now? You left your seats and may not have had time to destroy it! If there hadn't been a fight, wouldn't you have been able to quietly throw away the sachet?"
The more Chu Jue spoke, the more he felt that this was the case.
Everyone felt that what he said made some sense.
Princess Anyang felt very guilty. It was indeed her doing, but why was the sachet here?
Now that she had been caught red-handed, she didn't know what to do.
Dong Xiqi's face turned pale as he tried to argue, "My mother had no reason to kill my father. Someone must have framed her..."
She hasn't finished speaking yet.
The Yongning Marquis, who was lying on the ground with only his last breath left, suddenly raised his hand and slapped Princess Anyang in the face, saying angrily:
"Poisonous woman!"
Princess Anyang just squatted beside him in order to pretend to show concern, and was slapped to the ground.
Dong Xiqi exclaimed, "Father, you..."
"I discovered your scandal, so you want to kill me...you vicious woman!" Marquis Yongning pointed at Princess Anyang with resentment in his eyes, then turned to look at Chu Shouchen and said:
"She was having an affair with Cen Tingbai, and I discovered it. I was magnanimous and covered it up for her. I didn't expect that she would poison me because of it... She is the murderer!"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.
Yongning Hou wanted to hide this scandal, but now he is going to die! What else does he care about?
Before he died, he would make sure that this vicious woman was disgraced and died with him!
He completely agreed with Chu Jue's analysis just now and was sure that it was Princess Anyang who poisoned him!
I will never give her a chance to live!
Princess Anyang's face turned pale.
Cen Tingbai walked out of the line, looked at everyone and said, "I want to correct you, it's not an affair!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Cen Tingbai. Was he denying it?
"I was drugged." The next sentence shocked everyone again.
Cen Tingbai explained in detail, "At the palace banquet that day, I was drugged, and Princess Anyang suddenly came to Tingyu Pavilion where I was resting. Fortunately, Marquis Yongning arrived in time and took her away, saving my innocence."
"Later, Doctor Xiao from the Northern Palace came to give me some hangover soup and found out that I was poisoned, so he helped me detoxify. You and your spouse have become enemies, but you should make it clear that this matter has nothing to do with me."
Xie Lingxi once went to southern Xinjiang to confer the title of Emperor Cen Tingbai. The two of them were besieged and attacked by Xun Han together. They could be said to have a friendship of life and death.
It was reasonable for the Northern Palace to send him sobering soup.
Xiao Nanxing smiled and nodded, "I can testify to this. When the Marquis was drunk that day, my son, thinking of our friendship in Southern Xinjiang, asked me to deliver some sobering soup. But when I entered, I saw that the Marquis had been poisoned..."
Everyone was shocked again and again today, and it took a long time for them to recover.
Good job!
Princess Anyang drugged the newly promoted marquis and was caught by her husband.
Are you nobles so brilliant in private?
"Then the motive for the crime is complete!" Chu Jue was stunned with shock, but he did not forget to summarize.
Princess Anyang looked as pale as death and had no way to deny it.
"This vicious woman... vicious woman... is unworthy... I want to divorce her..." Marquis Yongning glared at Princess Anyang with resentment, blood gushing out of his mouth, and he finally died.
Die with eyes open.
Chu Shouchen saw this and said, "Princess Anyang, please come with us to Mingxinsi."
Princess Anyang was taken away.
Dong Xiqi rolled her eyes and fainted. The maid quickly stuffed a Ningxin pill into her mouth...
…
In the palace.
When the emperor heard about this, he was furious and ordered the governor of Chu to investigate thoroughly!
If it was an ordinary crime, the emperor would definitely not punish her, but she poisoned her husband, and her scandal was known to everyone...
Only by killing her can the royal family's reputation be restored and the Dong family be appeased.
Now the emperor has issued an order.
Chu Shouchen immediately interrogated Princess Anyang clearly.
"Your Majesty, Princess Anyang has confessed that she was the one who poisoned the Marquis of Yongning. She knew that the Prince Duan's Mansion would use Chengyue Brew today, so she deliberately used Wuxiangzi to poison the Marquis of Yongning... But she said that she had thrown the sachet away, and she didn't know how it appeared under the table..." Chu Shouchen presented the memorial and said:
"There must be someone else involved."
"In addition, I have also found out that the murder of Princess Yongfu some time ago was also committed by her. In addition, she also tried to murder the Northern Prince's wife several times, bribed the chief examiner, and poisoned Cheng Tanhua's wife..."
One crime after another, the crimes are obvious.
The emperor flipped open the memorial and looked gloomy. "Sentence her to be executed immediately!"
"Yes!" Chu Shouchen bowed and accepted the order.
The emperor was a man of deep thoughts. After reading the introduction of Huangquan Poison, he ordered:
"Shou Chen, immediately go and secretly look for the nine miraculous herbs. You must get at least one of them."
Although he felt that it was speechless that Anyang took his anger out on the daughter of a doctor who saved lives just for the sake of a third place in the imperial examination.
But that didn't stop him from thinking that this poison was a good thing.
Xie Lingxi was bewitched by Jiang Rong. If he had the nine miraculous medicines, controlling Jiang Rong would mean controlling Xie Lingxi.
He can also strengthen his control over the Northern Palace.
"Yes!" Chu Shouchen took the order and retreated.
