Chapter 2092 I am guilty!
"Princess An, you must explain yourself."
“…”
"Your parents and family, if they knew you did something like this, just imagine how sad they would be."
“……!”
Upon hearing this, Gao Yurong trembled suddenly.
Her body seemed to be stiff, and she slowly turned around to look at Wu Wan, who looked at her coldly and said, "I don't want your family to be sad because of you."
“…”
To others, this sentence sounded as if Concubine Hui was persuading Concubine An to explain the case properly, but Nan Yan knew as soon as she heard it that every word in her words was a threat.
Although Gao Yurong is now a concubine, she does not have a good background. She followed Wu Wan into the Prince of Yan's Mansion as a dowry. Also because she had served Zhu Feng early, Zhu Feng gave her a rank higher than her background after he ascended the throne.
But her family still has no power or ability to protect themselves.
They all lived completely under the protection of the Wu family.
If the Wu family wanted to touch them, it would be almost easier than crushing an ant. Gao Yurong took this into consideration and was afraid that she would have to be careful with what she said.
Nan Yan narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Wu Wan.
Wu Wan looked up at her without any fear, and continued, "Were you the one who ordered these things?"
“…”
"Is there anyone else who forces you to do this?"
“…”
"If you have, you must tell us. Don't deceive the Emperor and the Empress and let the real culprit go unpunished."
Hearing these words, Gao Yurong burst into tears.
She knelt on the ground, her whole body trembling, like a leaf unable to protect itself in the wind and rain. After a long time, she finally closed her eyes slowly and said in a trembling voice: "All of this, all of this, is my fault. It has nothing to do with others!"
When Wu Wan heard this plan, her eyes lit up.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back into the chair, as if she was completely relieved.
In fact, she didn't have to worry.
Except for the first two times, when she went to Zhenjue Temple to burn incense and fulfill a vow, and to meet Si Muzhen, and after the two agreements were made, she never went to Zhenjue Temple again, and there were almost no flaws in her whereabouts.
Even if the queen knew that she had been there, there were so many ladies in the palace who had been there that it was not enough evidence.
Later on, she entrusted every message delivery to her confidant, Concubine An Gao Yurong, including the delivery of several letters.
The only thing she was not involved in was sending assassins to kill Debao and silence him.
Although these people were stopped by the emperor's men, these killers were all death warriors, and they had already agreed that if they were really caught, they would directly confess during interrogation that they were sent by Concubine An Gao Yurong.
So, this matter had nothing to do with her from beginning to end.
Now, it is enough to just shut Concubine An’s mouth.
This matter is easier to handle than sending out assassins. Just hearing about her parents and family, Gao Yurong has completely lost the will to resist. After all, as a slave serving her master, she has no other choice but to die for her master.
When Nan Yan heard Gao Yurong's answer, she frowned.
Of course she knew that this matter was not that simple.
However, whether it was the clues found from the Ministry of Justice, the evidence in his hands, or the confessions of the witnesses, none of them had anything to do with Wu Wan.
Only one Anpin was pulled down...
Is this really enough?
Thinking of this, she turned to look at Zhu Feng again.
However, Zhu Feng's expression did not fluctuate at all. He did not feel sorry, nor did he have any doubt. He just lowered his eyes lightly, and gently fiddled with the cups on the table with one hand.
After a while, he said, "Princess An."
Gao Yurong bowed her head deeply and did not dare to stand up again.
Zhu Feng asked, "Is this your answer?"
"……yes."
"You did this?"
"……yes."
Zhu Feng stared at her in silence for a long time, his eyes still devoid of emotion. Only Nan Yan seemed to see a glint of brilliance flashing in his deep eyes. His tone remained calm, as if nothing had happened, as he slowly said, "You truly disappoint me."
“…”
"Come here, take Concubine An away and await your punishment."
"yes."
Several young eunuchs immediately entered Yonghe Palace and pulled Gao Yurong up from the ground. At this time, she no longer had the strength to walk. Her legs drooped on the ground and she was dragged away.
When he was about to go out, he tripped over his heel and dropped one of his shoes at the door.
Immediately afterwards, Debao was also taken away.
Even after walking out of Yonghe Palace, one could still hear Debao crying and begging for mercy, but no one in Yonghe Palace spoke a word. The atmosphere was so depressing that it seemed as if it had been frozen.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Feng said, "Queen."
Xu Miaoyin was originally sitting there in a daze. Although she was not unable to react, everything happened too quickly and the matter was resolved just like that, which made her feel a little at a loss.
Hearing Zhu Feng's voice, he raised his head hurriedly: "What are your instructions, Your Majesty?"
Zhu Feng said, "Remove Gao Yurong's title."
“…”
"Her family members have also been arrested. They will be dealt with after the case is concluded and she is brought to justice."
"yes."
Just when everyone thought that the matter had come to an end and the atmosphere had already changed because today was the day to celebrate the Queen's birthday, and everyone was feeling uncomfortable staying here and preparing to get up and leave, Concubine Hui Wu Wan suddenly stood up.
She walked to the center under the stunned gaze of everyone and knelt down in front of Zhu Feng and Xu Miaoyin.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
“…”
"Your Majesty and Empress, please sentence me to death!"
Everyone was shocked and looked at her in confusion. Nan Yan, still confused about what was happening around her, looked coldly at Wu Wan's actions at the moment.
She also sat still.
Zhu Feng looked at Wu Wan and said, "Concubine Hui, what are you doing?"
Wu Wan's eyes were red, almost tears falling, she sighed: "Anpin - oh, she is no longer Anpin. Gao Yurong, she was originally my dowry, followed me into the palace, and usually interacted with me the most. I thought I knew her very well, but -"
At this point, her eyes were red and she sobbed, "I didn't expect that you could only judge a person by their appearance but not by their heart. She turned out to be such a vicious person."
“…”
"I have been with her every day, and I never realized that she was the one who set up such a vicious plan to murder His Highness the Prince of Wei."
“…”
"It was my negligence that led to His Highness's humiliation and the disgrace to the royal family."
“…”
"I beg Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Empress to punish me for my negligence. I will gladly accept the punishment and have no complaints!"
