Song Xia quickly walked towards her and covered her mouth: "Don't shout, we're not bad people."
Princess Taiping had already seen Jin Beichen by this time. She recognized him, and her eyes immediately reddened.
Jin Beichen immediately turned around.
Song Xia went to get a dress for Princess Taiping to wear.
Put it on.
She and Jin Beichen then stepped forward to check on the Holy Emperor's breathing.
"She's out of breath."
Song Xia frowned.
Princess Taiping's expression changed, and she said emotionally, "General Jin, the Holy Emperor's death has nothing to do with me. I did nothing, really I did nothing."
They were worried that if she continued like this, she would attract the attention of the guards.
Song Xia said to her, "Don't get so agitated, we believe you."
Before Princess Taiping could say anything...
Song Xia immediately had Jin Beichen change into a dragon robe, pretending to be the Holy Emperor, and leave the place. Then she turned back and threw him into a nearby artificial lake.
Jin Beichen understood Song Xia's meaning and did as she said.
However, his belly was flat, completely different from the Holy Emperor's.
Song Xia then rummaged through the wardrobe and stuffed some clothes into his clothes.
I took a look.
Song Xia felt it wasn't realistic enough, so she used cosmetics from her spatial dimension to give Jin Beicheng some cosmetic enhancements.
Done.
She urged him to leave quickly.
"You ungrateful wretch!"
Jin Beichen imitated the Emperor's tone, shouted, threw something, then strode to the door, opened it, and stormed off.
None of the guards dared to step forward or say anything; they simply glanced at the soldiers and then lowered their heads.
Jin Beichen successfully left Jinhe Palace. He couldn't help but feel glad that the Holy Emperor was not a good person. He usually chased away his subordinates when he beat his concubines.
Otherwise, he fears he won't be able to keep up the act for long before they discover he's not the Holy Emperor.
Just as Jin Beichen was about to turn back, he noticed people approaching from a distance, and it seemed there were quite a few of them.
Thinking back to what had happened before.
Jin Beichen's heart skipped a beat. He returned to Song Xia and the others as quickly as possible, gave them a few instructions, and then took the dead Holy Emperor and left.
Fifteen minutes later.
Fang, the old nanny under Consort Yue, led several palace maids into Jinhe Palace, claiming that Consort Yue had a fever and was very ill, and that the Emperor should go and see her.
Princess Taiping had already finished dressing and grooming.
Seeing them barge in so brazenly, she tightened her grip and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? How dare you trespass on my palace!"
Wait a minute, isn't the Emperor here?
How come it's not here?
Fang Mama, regaining her composure, led her maids in a bow and said, "Your Highness, please don't be offended. We had no choice. Our lady is ill and insists on seeing the Emperor; we had no other option. Besides, the Emperor originally said that if our lady feels unwell, she must be informed, and we cannot disobey his decree, can we?"
The words were spoken.
Granny Fang looked directly at Princess Taiping and asked, "Consort Yan, I heard that the Emperor came to your place, but I haven't seen him. Where did he go?"
"I didn't know; he just left not long ago."
Princess Taiping said expressionlessly.
Just left?
Why didn't they run into it?
Why hasn't the poison taken effect yet?
Granny Fang was filled with doubt. She didn't quite believe Princess Taiping's words and began to look around nervously.
Princess Taiping knew what she was looking for. She felt both relieved and a little scared. Thank goodness Jin Beichen and the others came, otherwise she would definitely be finished now.
Even if she didn't kill the emperor, her future won't be easy.
"What, you don't believe me? If you don't believe me, then look around."
Princess Taiping walked to the table and poured herself some water.
Granny Fang noticed that she was not acting strangely at all. After looking around, she left without saying a word.
go out.
Granny Fang then went to the guards to inquire.
Ask clearly.
Granny Fang led her maids out in a long stride.
When she returned to report, the Emperor had already been found dead in the artificial lake outside Consort Yue's palace.
When the Empress found out, she immediately ordered her to be killed.
But unexpectedly.
Her son, the eldest prince, protected her.
The eldest prince is protecting them.
Not to mention that Consort Yue survived.
The eldest prince even helped Consort Yue slander Princess Taiping, saying that the emperor's death was related to her.
It is said that she was unwilling to marry her own father, the emperor, so she poisoned him.
Song Xia and Jin Beichen never left the palace.
Seeing how the eldest prince is distorting the truth and protecting Consort Yue.
Song Xia whispered to Jin Beichen, "That Consort Yue is quite shrewd, managing to get the First Prince to help her so much. Husband, do you think the Emperor's death might be related to the First Prince...?"
"I can't say for sure about this either."
After all, there's no evidence, right?
Jin Beicheng said with a complicated expression, "If Princess Taiping's crime is determined like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before the Great Sage Dynasty causes trouble for our country and starts a war with us."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so why don't we do this..."
Song Xia pulled Jin Beichen aside and whispered her idea in his ear.
Jin Beicheng had no objections whatsoever.
soon.
Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor was dead.
Song Xia and the others also knew who was most at odds with the eldest prince.
He is the second prince.
The son of Consort Jing.
He was also the Holy Emperor's favorite son.
He was clearly the crown prince favored by his father, but now his father has suddenly died and even produced a will that states the throne will be passed to the eldest prince.
How could he believe it?
He immediately demanded an autopsy.
It's true that the eldest prince has his own people in the palace, and so does the second prince.
They are evenly matched.
It didn't take long.
He and the eldest prince invited some of the best coroners in the capital.
After several coroners examined the body, they all concluded that the emperor died from poisoning. Although he was found in the lake, the autopsy results clearly indicated that he had been thrown into the lake by someone else.
The second prince shouted angrily, "Who is it? Who dares to do this!"
The eldest prince said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "Second brother, didn't we already say that it was Princess Taiping who did it?"
Where is she?!
The Second Prince will not rest until he gets to the bottom of this.
The eldest prince frowned and said, "She has already fainted. Father hit her before the accident..."
The second prince naturally wouldn't believe the first prince's one-sided story; he went to see Princess Taiping with his mother.
She was lying face down on the bed, her back covered in blood.
They immediately summoned people to treat her.
Princess Taiping initially pretended to faint, but as she continued to pretend, she actually fainted.
Her wound hadn't been treated, she had lost too much blood, and it was the first time she had experienced something like this.
How can I not feel dizzy?
They then interrogated everyone in Princess Taiping's Jinhe Palace.
The nanny and palace maids were not there at the time; only some guards were present.
They interrogated the guards.
With the eldest prince's instructions, the guards did not tell the truth. They only said that they heard Princess Taiping's screams and nothing else.
"You bastards, what are you all good for?!"
