Chapter 499: Stirring the Water

Bei Jingchu understood something and said sarcastically, "Is Concubine Zhang trying to catch the murderer behind Yu'er's assassination, or is she just eager to throw dirty water on me?"

Bei Jingchusi didn't give her any face and directly pointed out her little thoughts.

Zhang Jieyu choked.

A pair of eyes stared at her in disbelief, as if condemning her for saying such hurtful words.

Before she could say anything more, the emperor spoke up: "Come on, shut up. Yu'er hasn't woken up yet. What are you yelling about? Don't disturb your son's peace."

The imperial physician had just told us that the patient needs to be quiet while being treated, but he only told us this once and never repeated it again.

He couldn't afford to offend those who were quarreling.

Although Bei Jingchu's clever defense did not clear her of suspicion, it made it impossible to convict her directly based on that little evidence.

She really thought she was here to visit her brother, and after giving him some supplements, she showed some concern before leaving.

I was very relaxed throughout the whole process and didn't feel guilty at all.

In fact, she was nervous in her heart. If the emperor really wanted to depose her, this would be a ready-made excuse.

It doesn't matter whether it's a frame-up or not; evidence is actually the least important thing.

I didn't feel relieved until I got out safely.

The emperor had no intention of pursuing the matter on the spot.

Bei Jingchu felt a little hope.

Perhaps, the emperor just wanted to warn her by promoting the King of Qin, and did not really want to depose her?

It just so happens that this period of desolation has performed well.

That couldn't be better...

She can prepare more and have a better chance of winning.

Changyan and others who were waiting outside the house saw her come out and immediately went to greet her.

Changyan said worriedly, "I just heard that His Majesty urgently summoned me. I was almost worried to death."

Bei Jingchu smiled, "I feel relieved when I heard His Majesty summon me."

Facing Chang Yan's puzzled look, she explained: "What I'm afraid of is not the urgent summoning, but the non-summoning."

"Unless you just stand there and say you have no way to defend yourself, as long as you meet the emperor, you will have a chance to refute your claims. Even if the person is dead, I can still make him look alive."

But after dealing with this for a while, she was tired.

When we drove back to Wu Garden, Haoyue was already waiting for us in the study.

She asked, "Your Highness, do you want me to go find the real murderer?"

Bei Jingchu leaned back in his chair and shook his head, saying, "That won't do. To prove our innocence, we have to bring all of our people who have been developing in the dark to the surface. That's not a good plan."

In fact, she is the same as Zhang Jieyu, neither of them cares much about who the real murderer is.

One wanted to extricate himself from the matter, and the other wanted to use it to bring her down.

Thinking of Yu'er who was still unconscious, Bei Jingchu sighed softly.

How pitiful! Don’t you even have someone who loves you wholeheartedly?

But she is the eldest sister and cannot be as close to her as her biological mother. She thinks that as a mother, she should love her only son as her lifeblood.

She was misjudged. Who stipulated that a mother must love her children wholeheartedly above all else?

Even with someone like Qi, Concubine Zhang can be considered soft-hearted.

This sympathy did not last long. She was now too busy to take care of herself. She continued to instruct Haoyue, "It is the Dali Temple's job to check the evidence, not our job. The simplest way is to stir the water."

"Now, it seems that I have the biggest conflict with the King of Qin, and I am the beneficiary after his death. We will push out one, two, or many more beneficiaries. Let everyone's eyes no longer be on me."

The bright moon should be it.

Not long after, many rumors spread in the capital, saying who was the murderer of the assassination of the King of Qin, and each rumor was vivid and well-founded.
