Chapter 662: An Yue on Trial
Princess Anyue was taken to the yamen and brought into a room.
"This princess wants to see your master." Princess Anyue said arrogantly.
"Princess, you will be able to see the master in court." said the officer.
Princess Anyue's face looked unhappy. How dare a mere official speak to her like that!
"This princess has been framed, but I haven't really committed any crime. How dare you treat me like this?" Princess Anyue narrowed her eyes slightly, with the intimidating power of a princess from the royal family.
The officer was older and more experienced. Despite Princess Anyue's attitude, he remained calm and composed: "Princess, we are also following orders. I will go and ask the Lord if he is ready to open the court."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Princess Anyue sat in the room, feeling angry and uneasy in her heart, but maintaining her nobility and elegance on the outside.
She sat for a while and asked a younger officer to pour her some water.
The young officer hesitated.
"If you really treat me as a prisoner, I will remember you." Princess Anyue threatened.
The young official showed fear on his face: "I will go and pour it right away, please wait."
He just turned around when the officer came back: "No need to pour it."
He looked at Princess Anyue and said, "Princess, the master is well now. You can go see him."
Princess Anyue was brought to the court.
There were already many onlookers outside the court.
The government office is going to hold a trial for the princess, and it's such a lively occasion that the common people will naturally come to join in.
Being surrounded by the people, Princess Anyue had a very ugly expression on her face. A bunch of lowly people actually dared to laugh at her!
When she saw one of the figures, Princess Anyue's expression suddenly became gentle.
She walked towards the figure: "Lü Lang..."
"Don't be afraid, Princess. I will be with you no matter what the outcome." Lu An grabbed Princess Anyue's hand, patted her back gently, and comforted her.
When he first went out, his father wanted to stop him.
That was the first time he disobeyed his father.
"Father, now that the princess is on trial, if I immediately avoid her like the plague, do you think this will save the Lu family's reputation? The people will only think that the Lu family is heartless and ungrateful! The princess and I have been together for over a decade."
Elder Lu sighed, "It's a misfortune for my family," and let him come.
Princess Anyue's previous nobility and arrogance were actually forced. Now, after hearing Lu An's words, she felt much more at ease.
No matter what, Lu Lang is always with her.
Princess Anyue nodded slightly and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Princess Anyue went to court.
The plaintiff and witnesses have already arrived in court.
The plaintiff was Tang Li.
The witnesses included Yu Niang, Princess Anyue's maids and guards, all of whom knelt on the ground in a panic.
Princess Anyue glared at Tangli fiercely.
Tangli looked back indifferently.
Although the two had only met a few times, Princess Anyue hated Tangli to the core.
Tang Li hated her just as much. This vicious princess actually wanted to attack Tang Bao and Mu Bao, which touched her bottom line. Tang Li wanted her to get what she deserved!
The gavel was banged and the trial began.
Yu Niang identified the maid, saying that she had kidnapped her son and threatened her to poison the young master and young lady of the Wu family, and presented the physical evidence of the highly poisonous Chun Mu Ku.
The Wu Mansion did rescue Yu Niang's son from the maid and guards. Therefore, the facts that Princess Anyue's maid and guards kidnapped hostages and forced them to poison were set in stone and irrefutable!
"Prisoner Chunshui, are you being instructed by someone?" The gavel was slammed down and a question was raised.
Chunshui was the maid. She glanced at Princess Anyue, and in return she received a threatening look from Princess Anyue.
Chunshui knew how cruel Princess Anyue was, his face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and decided to accept it himself.
"Sir, no one ordered us to do this." Chunshui said.
"Then why did you murder Miss Wu and Master?"
Chunshui couldn't think of a reason, so she said stubbornly, "I just can't stand Madam Wu."
"Why do you dislike me?" Tang Li looked at Chunshui and asked.
Chunshui's eyes met Tangli's, and she felt that her eyes were dark and deep. She seemed to be caught in a whirlpool, and her mouth uncontrollably blurted out what was in her heart.
"No, I was instructed by someone! It was Princess Anyue! The princess's son, Lu Xuan, died in prison. The princess believed that Tangli was responsible, so she wanted Tangli to experience the pain of losing a son. So she ordered me to capture the son of the Wu Mansion's wet nurse and force her to poison him!"
"This poison was given to me by the princess. I didn't buy it!"
Princess Anyue's expression suddenly changed. She didn't expect that she would confess so easily.
"You are talking nonsense. When have I ever ordered you to do anything? You are slandering me and framing me on purpose!" Princess Anyue said coldly.
"Princess An Yue, are you really slandering me? She is just a maid and has no grudge against me, so why would she harm me? How could she, a maid, have such ability to command your guards?!" Tang Li asked sternly.
Princess Anyue glared at Tangli fiercely.
However, because of this glance, Princess Anyue's gaze gradually became unfocused, but still carried a strong hatred.
"Yes! It was this princess who ordered it! If you and your daughter hadn't meddled in other people's business, nothing would have happened later! If Xuan'er hadn't been thrown into jail, he wouldn't have died! It's all your fault! It's you who killed my son! Do you know how painful it is to lose a child?!" Princess Anyue said as she was about to pounce on Tangli.
Tang Li reached out and grasped her wrist tightly, then leaned over to whisper in her ear, "I'll say it again, Lu Xuan's death was deserved, and it has nothing to do with me! Do you still remember Yu Anniang?"
Yu Anniang was Lu An's beloved who was killed by Princess Anyue.
When Princess Anyue heard this name, she indeed became crazy.
In front of her eyes, a pale blue figure seemed to appear, with a vixen-like face that could seduce men!
"Yu An's mother, don't come looking for me anymore! Who told you to monopolize Lu Lang? I offered you money to leave, but you refused. You're asking for death!"
"You bitch, you're pregnant before you even get married. Who knows whose bastard it is, and you're trying to blame it on Lu Lang! I won't let you succeed!"
"I am a princess. Who are you? Taking your life is as easy as crushing an ant! I am not afraid of you when you are alive, and I am even less afraid of you when you are dead! How dare you come to me? Believe it or not, I will throw you into the well again!"
Princess Anyue said this and rushed towards 'Yu Anniang'.
At this moment, a figure rushed in from outside the court and grabbed Princess Anyue's hand.
"What are you talking about? Did you kill An Niang?!" Lu An asked loudly, holding Princess An Yue's hand very tightly.
He fell in love with An Niang at first sight. For An Niang, he even disobeyed the emperor's order to reject the marriage.
Therefore, he was so devastated when An Niang left a letter saying that she had fallen in love with someone else and disappeared quietly.
For the past ten years, the three words "Yu Anniang" have been a taboo to him. He doesn't think about her, doesn't check her, and doesn't know anything about her!
Lu An never imagined that An Niang was not in love with someone else, but was killed by his first wife whom he respected and loved for more than ten years!
Princess Anyue suddenly woke up and looked at Lu An with an extremely pale face.
Her head was rumbling.
Oh my God! She actually told everyone that she had killed Yu Anniang!
I was like crazy just now, my mouth was completely out of control. What happened?
"Say something! Did you kill An Niang?" Lu An asked.
"Lu Lang, that's not the case. Please listen to my explanation..." Princess Anyue said in panic and anxiously.
Lu An's cold eyes frightened her.
She had already lost her son, was she going to lose Lu Lang too?!
No!
