Chapter 110 Revenge out of Hate
"No, you are afraid that your daughter will be implicated because of the Third Prince. But your daughter has a vicious mother like you, do you think she won't be implicated?" Xu Qingyan frowned when she heard this and couldn't help but speak out.
From this point of view, the Third Prince's wife was threatened! With such a good opportunity, she didn't want the Third Prince to escape, otherwise he would definitely retaliate against them crazily in the future.
After hearing what Xu Qingyan said, the Third Prince's wife was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled bitterly and said, "She is unlucky to have such a vicious mother like me, but she is also the Third Prince's child. I am afraid that if I continue to investigate, I will find out the truth. It is better for me to admit it actively, and perhaps I can get some forgiveness. The Third Prince has been deceived, and all this is my personal behavior!"
She must admit that she did it, otherwise not only will her daughter's marriage be ruined by Concubine Chun in the future, but more importantly, her father threatened her yesterday that if she didn't do this, he would give her mother a chronic poison to torture her to death, and her brother would be abandoned by her father. Her brother was dull in talent and ranked last in the Imperial College. Without the support of his father, where would he go in the future? His father favored his concubine and neglected his wife. The concubine also had a daughter and a son, and the son of the concubine was smarter than her brother. He ranked first in the Imperial College as soon as he entered. Now her mother has lost the support of the Queen Mother, and Concubine Chun is in cahoots with her father. If she doesn't agree to them, then her mother, brother and daughter will all have no way out!
When Xu Qingyan saw the determined look on the Third Prince's wife's face, she knew that she was determined to confess her guilt and that the Third Prince must have something very important in his hands.
Then, Xu Qingyan and Pei Jingchuan looked at each other.
Pei Jingchuan stepped forward and said to the Dali Temple Minister: "My lord, even if the Third Prince's wife has confessed her guilt, she said that she dressed up as the Third Prince to commit the crime, but how can the voice of the Third Prince be changed so easily? There are human skin masks in this world, but this voice, unless the Third Prince's wife imitates the Third Prince's words in public, if she can really imitate it, this is evidence."
"Yes, we have not only seen the Third Prince's appearance, but we have also heard his voice. It was obviously the Third Prince who hurt us. The Third Prince's Consort is a woman, how could it be her!"
"I will never forget the Third Prince's devilish laughter in my life. It was the Third Prince who harmed us!"
"If the evil Third Prince is not punished today, I will die in this court!"
The victimized women kneeling on the ground all echoed in anger. They simply did not believe that this was done by the Third Prince's wife. They had clearly seen with their own eyes that it was the Third Prince who hurt them!
"Yes! How did the voice change? Unless the Third Prince's wife can imitate the Third Prince's speech, otherwise, I also think that the Third Prince's wife is trying to take the blame!"
"Look at what those women said, they were so angry and sincere. They must be vicious and perverted towards the Third Prince. That's a deep memory. Otherwise, how could they be so sure?"
At this moment, some ministers couldn't help but agree.
When the Third Prince heard this, he looked a little anxious. The Third Prince's wife was also pale at this time, not knowing how to defend herself. She really couldn't imitate the Third Prince's voice!
"Third Prince's Concubine, when you were torturing these women, dressed up as the Third Prince, did you ever speak to them? Couldn't they really tell that you were a woman?" At this moment, Mr. Qi in the crowd suddenly spoke.
His small eyes looked at the Third Prince's wife, staring straight at her. Even though no emotion could be seen in his eyes, the Third Prince's wife could feel that he was reminding her to deny it.
"I haven't spoken to them. I dressed up as the Third Prince to deceive them. If I spoke, wouldn't I be exposed? They want to frame the Third Prince, so they are talking nonsense. They hate me to the core and want to kill my daughter as well! They must be thinking that as long as they can put the blame on the Third Prince, then as his consort, I will not be able to escape!" The Third Prince's wife reacted instantly and argued with reason and evidence.
The Third Prince also cooperated very well and showed an angry expression, saying: "It was the Third Prince's Consort who hurt you, I know nothing about it. Maybe it was because I looked at you a little too much that I caused you trouble. But it was the Third Prince's Consort who hurt you, how could you go crazy and bite me because of this? Did you see that the other victims have turned into skeletons and can't speak, so you dare to frame me like this!"
"I didn't frame you. I really heard the Third Prince's voice, and I have never met the Third Prince's wife!" The daughter of the Xicheng County Magistrate said anxiously when she heard this.
She didn't expect that the Third Prince's Consort would bite back at them, saying that they were trying to frame the Third Prince because they hated the Third Prince's Consort. Now, they were the only victims left. The previous victims had long since turned into lanterns or dry bones, and there was clear evidence to prove that the lanterns in the Third Prince's mansion were brought in by the Third Prince's Consort. All the evidence pointed to the Third Prince's Consort, and she herself admitted it. Only the victims, like them, were holding on to the Third Prince.
Xu Qingyan looked at the people in the hall and couldn't help but sighed in her heart: [The man just now should be Mr. Qi! I almost forgot about this person. In the original book, the Third Prince not only has Pei Jingyuan's help, but also a great counselor! This man is insidious and cunning, and is best at taking advantage of loopholes. This time he must have been behind the scenes planning for the Third Prince, otherwise, such obvious evidence points to the Third Prince, how could it turn out like this? Alas! It seems that the Third Prince will not die this time. Now the Third Prince's wife is holding on tightly and taking all the blame. The emperor can only punish the Third Prince for negligence at most! ]
Pei Jingchuan beside him also frowned upon hearing this. Indeed, as long as the Third Prince's wife did not change her words, the Third Prince would be able to escape the crime. She admitted that she was jealous of these women and was afraid that they would covet the Third Prince, so she killed him. This was a motive for committing the crime. But what about the Third Prince? What was his motive for committing the crime?
He had created a good image of being gentle and refined in front of the people. No one knew that he was a cruel pervert in private. Moreover, this case happened in the Third Prince's mansion. The Third Prince's wife and the Third Prince were equally suspected, especially since they had already agreed on their confessions in private. The Third Prince's wife even explained clearly how the Third Prince had hurt her and where the body was dumped. What reason was there not to convict her?
As for the rebuttal of the Third Prince's wife, saying that the victim hated her so much that she wanted to drag the entire Third Prince's mansion into the water, this is also a reasonable guess. The most important thing is that when someone takes the responsibility for the crime and can refuse to admit that it was the Third Prince who did it, the emperor will definitely choose to believe the Third Prince.
This is not just because of favoritism towards the third prince, but for the sake of the reputation of the entire royal family.
