Chapter 55: Evidence points to Liu Qingyin
Zhao Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Su Tan as if he was looking at the most vicious poisonous scorpion in the world, wishing he could tear Su Tan into pieces immediately.
Several imperial guards kicked him to the ground and he vomited blood.
Su Tan looked at him quietly, a sneer on his lips, "What is Mr. Zhao talking about?"
"I framed you?"
"You are the second son of the Zhao family, and I just returned to the capital. You said earlier that our Su family is deserted. So, I certainly don't have the ability to frame you."
"Even if I had to attack you, why would I risk having my entire clan exterminated by withdrawing His Royal Highness Prince Yu here? Could it be that I think the remaining elderly, weak, women, and children in our Su family are too old to live?!"
Zhao Yu was speechless after being confronted. His eyes were as cold as a knife, as if they were filled with poison. "Only you——"
"You'll be the only one who will harm me next time!"
"Bitch!"
"I won't let you go! The Zhao family won't let you go either!"
The person who was supposed to lie with these men was Su Tan!
Why did it become me?!
My life has been ruined by that bitch Su Tan!
He must kill Su Tan!
Su Tan's gaze fell on him coldly, and he curled his lips expressionlessly, "Not only are you, Zhao Yu, a homosexual, but you also wantonly raise boys in your house, even killing countless children."
"Not only do your parents and your brother know all of this, they've also gone to great lengths to cover it up for you. They're even looking for a girl who's easy to handle for you."
"Zhao Yu, I haven't said a single word to wrongly accuse you of anything. You say you were framed? Oh, maybe the souls of those you killed are seeking revenge on you."
If it were in the past, when she said this, Zhao Yu would definitely retort with a gloomy face, telling her not to be a gossip and not to spread rumors and destroy the reputation of the Zhao family.
But at this moment, Zhao Yu's face suddenly turned pale.
The wronged spirit...the wronged spirit seeking revenge?
No!
This is impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
Those people were indeed buried in the Zhao family's yard.
But before burying them, he had someone perform a ritual, and those people were trapped tightly, unable to be reborn forever.
How could I possibly have the ability to take revenge on him!
"You're lying! Bitch, you're lying!"
"I think what County Lady Jiayi said makes a lot of sense."
Prince Lu Zhiheng raised the corners of his lips nonchalantly. He waved the fan in his hand and glanced at Prince Yu and Zhao Yu's faces inadvertently.
"Perhaps, the souls of those killed by Zhao Yu led Fourth Brother to that secluded palace, hoping to lead Fourth Brother to discover Zhao Yu's rebellion in the palace. But Zhao Yu, seeing Fourth Brother alone, unexpectedly reached out to harm him."
As he spoke, he actually sighed and cast a sympathetic look towards Prince Yu.
"If this happened to an ordinary man, he would definitely feel ashamed and would never tell anyone about it even if he died. I think Zhao Yu wanted to use this incident to threaten Fourth Brother to keep his mouth shut. Who knew that this would be discovered by the Queen Mother in the end?"
Prince Yu was so angry that he almost fainted. He pointed at Lu Zhiheng with a trembling hand, "You...you..."
He didn't want to go down, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, then looked at Emperor Qinglong with tears in his eyes.
"Father! I was framed!"
"Someone set this up to harm me. Father, you must give me justice!"
Lu Zhiheng waved his fan and comforted Prince Yu in a very understanding manner, "Don't worry, Fourth Brother. Father will definitely punish Zhao Yu severely and will not let this person humiliate your innocence in vain."
"Oh, it's not right to say you're innocent. After all, Fourth Brother is also a father. But it's really pitiful that you have this experience today."
From now on, even if Prince Yu wants to marry, ordinary families will not marry their daughters to him.
First of all, Prince Yu hangs out with so many men, who knows if he will contract some dirty disease.
Secondly, no matter whether he was framed or not, the fact is that he was caught in public in front of Emperor Qinglong. It was so embarrassing that he had no chance of becoming emperor.
In addition, everyone saw how he treated the previous Princess Yu. People used to say that he was heartless, but after this incident, everyone would think that he didn't like women at all.
Prince Yu gritted his teeth, "Lu! Zhi! Heng!"
"Alright, everyone, shut up!"
Emperor Qinglong's face was extremely pale. He pressed his aching temples and turned to look at the eunuchs beside him. "Go ask those people how their investigation is going. Are they all good-for-nothings? It takes so long to investigate such a trivial matter!"
Li Chunlai quickly took the order and left.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he returned with the explorers.
"Your Majesty, we have found out that His Royal Highness Prince Yu was indeed framed. There was aphrodisiac incense in the palace and knockout drugs in the tea."
The Queen burst into tears, "Your Majesty, you must stand up for us, mother and son. Today, someone dared to use such a dirty trick to frame Jin'er. Will someone use such vicious means to frame me in the future?"
Emperor Qinglong's expression was neither clear nor dark.
There was candlelight dancing in his eyes. He reached out to help the queen up, but there was not much warmth in his eyes.
The Queen saw him turn his head, and with a cold glint in her eyes, she asked in a cold voice, "Have you found out who did it?"
The guards, eunuchs, palace maids and imperial doctors who were sent to investigate knelt down immediately. They all looked at each other, feeling that what they had found was too absurd and didn't know how to start.
"Are you all speechless? I ask you who did this!"
"Return to——"
A palace maid knelt down with tears on her face, "Your Majesty, we've checked...we've found out, it's...it's Liu Qingyin!"
Liu Qingyin's face turned pale.
She only felt a buzzing sound, as if something exploded in her ears. She stared blankly at the palace maid who was speaking and screamed, "What does this have to do with me?"
She quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Qinglong to apologize, with tears in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, this is a frame-up!"
"I have no grudge against His Royal Highness Prince Yu, or even against Second Young Master Zhao. Why would I attack them?"
"Besides, I am just a weak woman. How could I have such ability to gather so many people together and hide it from the eyes of those patrolling guards?"
"Someone must be trying to confuse the public. Not only does he want to get rid of Prince Yu and attack the Second Young Master Zhao, he even wants to get rid of me as well!"
"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
"I have never done anything so unscrupulous as this. Your Majesty, please understand!"
Liu Qingyin knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
She was really panicking now.
She just wanted to watch the fun, or to put the blame on Su Tan if necessary.
Because she knew what happened today, it must be related to Su Tan, otherwise the people lying in there would be Su Tan and Prince Yu.
But - but no one knows what went wrong, and in the end, it caused such a chaotic scene.
but!
But how could this fire burn on her head!
Liu Qingyin almost vomited blood.
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. Even if I had ten or eight times the courage, I would not dare to do such a treasonous act!"
At this juncture, it is meaningless to worry about who wants to harm her.
Liu Qingyin only knew that no matter what, she couldn't let this shit fall on her head.
Otherwise, she would definitely not be able to leave alive today.
"snort!"
The Queen sneered, her eyes as cold as a knife fixed on Liu Qingyin. Things happened too suddenly, and she had no time to readjust her strategy, so she could only proceed according to the previous plan.
"Liu Qingyin, stop pretending to be innocent!"
"You said you didn't have such great abilities, but I think you are very capable!"
"Otherwise, why did Miss Su divorce General Song? I don't believe you had any hand in this!"
"You said you had no grudges against Prince Yu and Zhao Yu, but what if you didn't intend to attack my son and Zhao Yu in the first place?"
Liu Qingyin's face grew paler.
this……
This is getting more confusing!
"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are saying!"
Emperor Qinglong's face turned pale. "What's going on?"
