He seriously underestimated Ruyi!
That matter has been concealed for so long, but I didn’t expect it to be dug out by a little girl today!
"What evidence do you have!"
He stared at Ruyi, somewhat unwillingly.
"As for the evidence, it's not that there is none."
Ruyi looked at him and said, "Four years ago, although I was just a little girl in the backyard, two big things happened at that time, and I was not completely unaware of them."
"First, Lord Cao's wedding was held with great pomp and circumstance."
"I didn't think there was anything wrong with it at the time, but now I feel strange because Lord Cao's wife is neither the daughter of a noble nor someone that Lord Cao has been thinking about for a long time."
"But Lord Cao's wedding was even more grand than the prince's marriage to his concubine."
“I never figured out why.”
“But now, I have a clue.”
"That's because Lord Cao wants to use this incident to cover up other things."
Ruyi saw Cao Ru's expression gradually change, and knew that what he said was absolutely right, "The first thing you want to cover up is to poison Mu Yuandao."
"you--"
Cao Ru's defense was broken again at this moment.
Ruyi sneered, "Who would have thought that you would be so happy about the great event of the Cao family, and still have the mind to harm others? Even Mu Yuandao himself did not expect it, so he recommended your father to be promoted afterwards."
Cao Ru stared at her, his pupils trembling.
"The second thing is the identity of your wife." Ruyi sneered with a smile on his face. "I remember that after the Nanshan bandit rebellion, the most terrifying bandit group active in Northern Qi suddenly disappeared and has not appeared for many years."
"Isn't that a coincidence?"
"Before this, I heard that they had committed a major crime, in which more than 300 people died."
Cao Ru: “…”
He was no longer able to speak.
Eunuch Yuan couldn't help but ask directly, "Master Seal Holder, do you mean that those fierce bandits later appeared in the Nanshan Mountain of the capital and helped the Cao family dig tunnels?"
"more than."
Ruyi stared at Cao Ru, "In fact, no one died in the case created by those fierce bandits. The case happened in Xiangzhou and it was a false case."
"You arrested people and sent them to the capital in batches, taking advantage of the time when General Yao was recovering from his injuries."
"Then you killed them as if they were bandits."
"But the real bandits have become one of your own, staying to dig tunnels and prepare for today's events."
"And your wife should be the leader of that gang of bandits, right?"
When Ruyi said this, everyone was shocked.
"Ruyi, how did you think of these?"
The emperor couldn't help but speak.
These things were so complicated, and Ruyi was still in the Shen family when they happened. When she told them today, even the emperor found it unbelievable.
Ruyi turned to look at the emperor, feeling a little complicated. "I couldn't have thought of it at first, because after all, I'm not in the court and don't pay attention to these things. But recently Mu Yuandao was poisoned, there are two secret passages under the capital, and so many people..."
"Plus, the city guards assassinated me a few days ago, causing General Yao to step down. And digging a secret passage requires manpower, and these people need to be trustworthy."
“All these things made me have to connect these things.”
"But I knew about Mu Yuandao's poisoning a long time ago because I have a good relationship with Sister Mu. Sister Mu told me about the bandits before."
The emperor nodded and motioned for her to continue questioning.
Ruyi looked at Cao Ru, "Now that things have come to this, write a letter to your father. I tell you to write it."
Cao Ru felt cold all over and his mind was blank.
He really didn't expect that so many things in his family would be exposed all of a sudden!
"You have no evidence."
It took him a while to utter a word.
“You don’t need that much evidence.”
Ruyi smiled and said, "The Third Prince has gone to Yancheng. He will be caught soon."
Eunuch Yuan prepared paper and pen and asked Cao Ru to write a letter.
Ruyi looked at him and said, "You'd better stop shaking your hands, otherwise..."
She smiled and took out the silver needle.
Cao Ru didn't want to write, but he became scared when he saw the silver needle. In the end, he obediently wrote a letter according to what Ruyi said, and then collapsed on the ground, feeling hopeless.
Subsequently, Cao Ru was arrested.
Ruyi asked for leave from the emperor, saying that he needed three days.
The emperor approved.
When leaving the palace, a black carriage was waiting outside. The servant stepped forward and said, "Sir, my prince is waiting for you in the carriage."
Ruyi felt warm in her heart and quickly stepped forward to get on the carriage, "Why are you here, Senior Brother?"
Rong Yan's expression was somewhat complicated, "I'll go to Guangwen Hall with you."
After a moment, he sighed again, "There's news from Fengyu Pavilion that Chen Jiaojiao has become a disciple of Doctor Liang. Doctor Liang has researched something incredible. I estimate that within a month, Chen Jiaojiao will make a comeback."
“…”
Ruyi was a little surprised.
But he soon calmed down and said, "I have asked for leave from the emperor and will go to Guangwen Pavilion to find my master. But Jing San has been sent out by me. I need my brother to find someone to help deal with this letter and send it to Cao Zhizhang who is injured."
Ruyi told Rong Yan about what happened in the Priest's Temple.
Rong Yan nodded and handed the letter out of the window.
Soon, a figure disappeared.
An hour later, just as Ruyi took the medicine and used silver needles to harmonize the acupuncture points, and Master Yikong and Rong Yan were protecting her, Cao Zhizhang received the letter.
"Everything is ready, only east wind is lacking!"
He was overjoyed after reading Cao Ru's letter, and ordered, "The palace examination can be put on hold for a while. Notify all parties and prepare to launch an attack on New Year's Eve!"
Cao Ru wrote in the letter that everything went very smoothly and perfectly, and he didn't notice anything unusual at all.
I just feel that victory is in sight.
So, he happily used a falcon to inform the third prince: everything in the capital is going well, just waiting for good news on New Year's Eve!
…
The prince was buried that afternoon.
The eldest princess went to the funeral, her thoughts in a state of confusion.
She recalled many past experiences between herself and the prince, and compared them with Ruyi and Ruyi's recent reaction. She felt sad, but in the end she couldn't say anything.
And because Ruyi took three days off this time, the exile of the Gu family was also postponed for three days.
Ruyi underestimated the terrible nature of the prescription left by Taoist Yu.
After taking the medicine, her body changed quickly. Even with the help of silver needles, cracks appeared in her meridians, blood oozed from her body, and even her five internal organs had problems.
An unprecedented pain swept over her.
Rong Yan's eyes turned red with heartache. He stepped forward and used the Prajna Heart Method to slowly inject his internal energy into her body to help relieve her pain.
"Master Yu is a lunatic."
Zen Master Yikong sighed, "This recipe combined with Taoist Yu's mental method is even more explosive than Yi Jin Jing. Even the Prajna mental method can hardly suppress it."
I have to say that Ruyi is also a ruthless person.
She was in so much pain, but she gritted her teeth and said nothing, just clenched her fists tightly.
The scene of the tragic death in the previous life emerged in my mind.
Facing a powerful enemy, she would never allow herself to die like that this time.
