The slender figure of a woman strode in.
Princess Chen!
The eunuch who was chasing after him was terrified. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't have time to report it, and Princess Chen rushed..."
"Step back." The emperor waved his hand.
When the young eunuch saw that the emperor would not punish him, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly rolled out.
Qin Ye strode in, bowed to the emperor, and without waiting for him to say "no need to be polite", he straightened his back and said to the prince:
"Your Highness is the person involved in the assassination, so he should know the truth of the matter best, right?"
She emphasized the word "truth" meaningfully, and her words contained a deeper meaning.
Zong Zhengyu glanced at her coldly.
Since when has a woman been allowed to run into the imperial study and shout loudly?
Instead of serving your man well, serving him tea and water, washing his feet and rubbing his back, why are you running here to make a fuss?
"What do you mean, Princess Chen?" he asked in a calm voice.
Qin Ye looked straight at him: "I heard that Concubine Wei suffered severe internal injuries and died on the spot?"
Zong Zhengyu said calmly, "On the night of our wedding, she suddenly tried to assassinate me. To protect myself, I subconsciously slapped her, but the force was too strong and she couldn't bear it."
"oh?"
This is interesting.
Qin Ye curled his lips, "But she died of poisoning."
What?!
When these words were spoken, everyone in the imperial study was shocked.
Qin Ye slowly took out the evidence, "Your Majesty, to be honest, before entering the palace, I went to Shuntian Mansion and saw the body of Concubine Wei. She was poisoned by a toxin that paralyzes the nerves."
"This poison seeps into the blood and can calm a person down, as if they were in deep sleep, with their souls and spirits out of control."
"At this point, it's like someone is whispering orders in her ear, and she'll do it."
"I suspect that someone used this poison to order her to 'assassinate the crown prince', which is why she did such a rebellious act. And the person who poisoned her was definitely not Prince Chen."
"Since he poisoned Concubine Wei and was able to control her, why did he leave behind a jade pendant? Isn't this just digging a hole for himself? How stupid!"
As Qin Ye spoke, she announced the autopsy results. The thing in her hand was the best evidence:
Concubine Wei had another cause of death.
The murderer is someone else.
Zong Zhengyu was stunned for a few seconds and looked at the woman with extreme surprise.
This poison melts into the blood and almost merges with the human body. It cannot be detected by silver needles. Even the best forensic doctor in the imperial capital cannot find it. But Qin Ye actually...
This damn woman!
She found out such an important thing, but no one from Shuntian Prefecture came to tell him?
The emperor looked at Qin Ye in surprise, with a scrutiny and a deeper light in his turbid eyes.
The eunuchs were also shocked.
Who would have thought that the ugly girl of the Qin family, who was once notorious and despised by everyone, actually knew how to perform autopsies and was an expert at it?
Zong Zhengchen looked at the girl with a deeper, gentle gaze. Her aloof look seemed to be saying:
Isn't it amazing? Are you envious? Qin Ye, this is my king's.
Qin Ye continued, "Also, Your Majesty, when I discovered that Concubine Wei's body was abnormal, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture tried his best to stop me from performing an autopsy. As soon as I left, a fire broke out in the morgue."
She knelt down and pleaded, "I pulled out Concubine Wei's body from the fire, and I suspect that the Shuntian prefect destroyed the body and destroyed the evidence. I beg you to grant me three days to find out the truth!"
Speaking of fire, everyone noticed that Princess Chen's clothes were dirty and wrinkled, her hair was messy, and there was something black on her cheek.
When the emperor saw so much strong evidence before him, he suddenly had reasons to favor Prince Chen.
He immediately said:
"It seems that there is something fishy going on here. Before the truth comes out, no one should make public the assassination of the crown prince!"
In this way, the reputation of King Chen was protected, the people's gossip was avoided, and the government would not be disturbed.
"Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother's Wife, I will give you three days. After three days, I will tell you the truth!"
