Under the gaze of so many people, Jiang Yuanying was taken to the court. Faced with the servant's vivid description, Jiang Yuanying could not deny it.
She was terrified and subconsciously avoided everything, saying "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know anything."
Or, “I don’t have one.”
"I am the child of the Marquis's Mansion."
"I don't know who Zhu Hao is."
"I didn't mean to burn them."
"This is a false accusation."
However, the witnesses were there, and there was more than one witness, so Jiang Yuanying could not provide any evidence to prove that he did not do such a thing.
She had indeed gone there that day, and after witnessing Marquis Anyuan and Concubine Cui being burned to death, she had indeed not informed the Marquis's residence or reported it to the authorities.
None at all.
She was already a strong suspect, and now there was evidence. It didn't take long for the Dali Temple Minister to convict her.
Such a crime would surely result in death for her.
She doesn't want to die.
"I didn't burn them to death. I just didn't save them. I don't know how the fire started."
"I'm just a weak woman, there's nothing I can do."
"The Queen Mother won't let you do this. She will protect me."
"Yes, I'm going to find the Queen Mother."
She was about to run away in a daze, but was directly detained by someone.
"Jiang, you not only murdered your parents, but you also accused the Empress Dowager. This is such a serious crime that I dare not be careless. I can only bring you before the Emperor and let him make the final decision."
The deceased was Marquis Anyuan, the son of the Grand Princess and the father of the current empress. He was a royal relative among the imperial family, so the Minister of the Dali Temple naturally did not dare to make a decision easily.
Soon, Jiang Yuanying was escorted into the palace.
Jiang Yi was not surprised by this, because from the very beginning, this matter was under her control.
It was quite a pleasure to watch her jumping up and down, thinking she had escaped from a desperate situation, but in fact she was in a deeper desperate situation.
The first one is Aunt Cui, and the second one is Marquis Anyuan.
The third one must be Jiang Yuanying.
Naturally, Jiang Yi first informed the Anyuan Marquis Mansion of this matter.
Although the eldest princess often lamented that her eldest son was disobedient and unmotivated, she was still very sad when she actually heard the news of his death.
After hearing that Jiang Yuanying, who was deliberately replaced as the legitimate daughter by Marquis Anyuan, was very likely not even the blood of the Marquis's family, but the child of Aunt Cui and Zhu Hao.
The eldest princess's sadness disappeared.
This is really... so embarrassing.
It was shameful enough to replace the legitimate daughter with a concubine's daughter, but the one who recovered was not even of the Marquis' bloodline.
Marquis Anyuan was really fooled by Aunt Cui.
I'm afraid that such a ridiculous thing has never happened in the past few hundred years.
A son like this should die early and end his life early.
If he lives, who knows what kind of joke he'll become!
On this day, the Grand Princess cursed the late Marquis Anyuan for the entire day.
She really didn't have enough energy, otherwise she would have been able to curse.
The eldest princess also sent a message to the palace, asking the emperor to make any judgment he wanted.
After the Grand Princess said this, Xie Yuan naturally became casual.
He glanced at Jiang Yuanying casually, and then said casually: "Prince Gong's concubine Jiang, be tortured to death by slicing."
"No." Jiang Yuanying screamed miserably, "I didn't kill anyone, let alone burn them to death. It was a frame-up. She framed me."
She pointed straight at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi, who was sitting above the emperor, suddenly showed weakness on his originally indifferent face, "Brother Yuan, her eyes are so scary, as if she wants to eat me up."
There was mist in her almond-shaped eyes, and she looked so pitiful.
It happens again and again.
It would have been fine if she had pretended to be weak in front of Prince Gong many times in the past, but she is still like this now.
She couldn't stand seeing Jiang Yi like this the most.
I just wish I could tear Jiang Yi's face into pieces.
"I'm here, what am I afraid of?" The emperor, who had been so tender and affectionate just now, wrapped his large palm around her small hand and said calmly, "Since the queen is afraid of her eyes, then gouge them out."
"First gouge it out, then lingchi."
The emperor's casual words shocked Jiang Yuanying.
"No."
"Kill me and give me pain."
When Jiang Yuanying thought of the pain of lingchi, he wished he could die right now.
So she went to hit the pillar with the courage to take a gamble.
She fainted and woke up again.
"Sister." The pretty girl sighed softly, "You didn't hit the pillar with enough strength. If you didn't die, you'll have to die again."
In front of Jiang Yuanying's horrified gaze, she took out a dagger and walked forward, intending to gouge out Jiang Yuanying's eyes herself.
"No, don't do this to me. I was wrong."
"I shouldn't have taken your identity."
"It's all Aunt Cui's fault, it's all Marquis Anyuan's fault. They wanted to do this, and there's nothing I can do."
"Please spare me, I don't want it."
The dagger fell to the ground.
"You should come. She is too dirty. I don't want to touch her."
Having said this, she left without looking back.
No matter how Jiang Yuanying wailed in pain, she no longer cared.
She did all this more insensitively, as she should.
In this kind of revenge, she also became more numb.
A little tired.
She wanted to let go of all this as soon as possible.
Faster, faster.
She closed her eyes tiredly, and a pair of broad hands covered her eyes. The man pressed her forehead steadily and forcefully.
"If you're tired, take a nap."
"Brother Ayuan." A strong sense of grievance emanated from his nose. "Do you think I'm scary? Do you think I'm cruel? Do you...don't love me anymore?"
"How could that be, silly girl?" Xie Yuan sighed.
"I just feel sorry for you. Those people bullied our little A Yuan so badly."
"Xiao Jiang Yi, I hope you are happy and I hope you are happy."
"Being kind doesn't make us happy. I hope you are selfish and brave."
"Just like when we first met."
"Have the courage to move forward. Don't be afraid. Brother Yuan will always be behind you."
He had known her for several years and naturally knew what kind of life she had lived.
If this was what she was supposed to experience, it would be fine.
But it's obviously not right, so why?
Being a saint is too hard, they are all ordinary people.
Jiang Yi suddenly hugged Xie Yuan's waist and couldn't stop crying for a long time.
Xie Yuan felt somewhat helpless. He was clearly trying to coax the person, but in the end, he ended up making the person cry.
Maybe he's just not good at talking.
"Little Jiang Yi, stop crying."
He stroked her head gently, "I will laugh at you."
