Chapter 73 Conclusion
The water bag that Chu Qinshu brings to Yu's study every day has now become Emperor Yongping's favorite.
His horse Chi Yan was the first to benefit from the water bag, even though he was already a twenty-year-old horse with old limbs.
Eating grass and basking in the sun are his daily routine in old age.
Unexpectedly, ever since we started adding water from the water bag to its drinking trough, its body has become stronger day by day.
But within ten days or so, its muscles had become strong and its coat was shiny, and it was much more energetic than a ten-year-old horse.
Lin Fu's old illness gradually disappeared with a glass of water every day.
As for the water bag given to Prince Shou, Emperor Yongping also asked people to inquire about its usage and the effects after use.
Although it was Chu Qinshu's bath water, the real effect was right in front of him, so Emperor Yongping would not mind.
He immediately asked Lin Fu to arrange it for him, and the water used for making tea every day must be from the water bag.
Even the tea prepared for him at today's full-moon banquet was no exception.
"Yes."
Lin Fu agreed and went to pour the water, secretly feeling grateful for the good fortune of this young eunuch.
After drinking this glass of water, your life will be saved.
When Chu Chengzhao saw the eunuch being dragged in, he was already somewhat uneasy, and kept blaming the person who was doing the job for not being efficient.
Of course, it would be best if the young eunuch could not survive and died on the spot.
"Your Majesty, these two people appeared beside the young eunuch today. They were sneaky when they were screened just now, so I brought them here as well."
Lin Bushie was also afraid that the young eunuch would lose his temper, so he brought all the suspicious people he found.
"Trial."
Emperor Yongping sipped his tea and spoke slowly.
Lin Bushie and Lin Fu were busy again.
Finally, the eunuch who had drunk the water confessed that he had written the secret letter for Chu Chengzhao, and handed the secret letter to the eunuch in the prince's office, who delivered it to Luo Yongsen.
The two sneaky eunuchs confessed that it was Chu Chengzhao who ordered them to silence the person.
But they didn't know why the person who was thrown into the well last night was able to stand in front of them alive.
They never imagined that the person they suffocated to death while he was sleeping in the middle of the night could survive.
"Eighteen, do you have anything else to say?"
Emperor Yongping stared at Chu Chengzhao, his small body already trembling slightly.
"Father, I didn't do it. I don't admit it."
Even though he said that, his eyes were clearly evasive, but he still felt lucky.
He always felt that he was a prince and was still young, and the eunuch who wrote the letter on his behalf could not prove that he was the one who ordered it.
As long as he firmly denies it, who can force him?
"Well, since you don't admit it, I'll hand it over to the Dali Temple for retrial."
Emperor Yongping was even more furious when he saw his attitude of refusing to admit his mistake.
He is so vicious at such a young age, and is indeed an incestuous creature that cannot be tolerated in this world.
If they didn't want to keep him as evidence so that they could find his biological father and catch him in one fell swoop, why would they let him live any longer?
"Father, that eunuch must have had a feud with the young master of the Wuwei General's Mansion, so he used me to pass the message to Cousin Sen. I was wrongly accused, and even if the Dali Temple re-examined me, I would not confess under torture."
When Chu Chengzhao heard the word Dali Temple, his body trembled.
He has admired the Grim Judge and his six death messengers ever since he could remember.
But he didn't expect that he would formally get to know them in this way.
However, even if he was to be handed over to the Dali Temple, he had to clear himself of the matter in front of all the court officials.
[As expected of the person who finally sat on the throne, he has learned to set traps for others at such a young age. This is obviously to confuse the public and make the Dali Temple a nobody. 】
Chu Qinshu didn't sleep soundly and spent a lot of time interrogating these people.
She originally felt some sympathy for Chu Chengzhao's ending in the original book, but she didn't expect that he was still a little wolf cub and so cruel.
No wonder in the original book, the imperial master was willing to kill him even at the cost of violating the taboos of his sect.
I'm afraid he's worried that if he's alive, his own life will be in danger.
"Your Majesty, I...I have a witness. I have a witness who can prove that it was His Majesty the Eighteenth Prince who ordered me to write for him."
The young eunuch, who was holding his breath, has recovered.
He remembered the words written on his palm by the person who saved him.
Although no pen or ink was used and no trace was left, he knew that this was his hope of survival.
"say."
Emperor Yongping did not want to delay matters that could be resolved immediately, so he started the interrogation directly.
"It's Madam Jia. When His Majesty the Eighteenth Prince asked me to write a secret letter, Madam Jia was beside him."
After the young eunuch finished speaking, Chu Chengzhao's expression changed.
Nanny Jia was his wet nurse and the person he trusted the most, so these things did not prevent her from doing so.
"Xuan."
The little prince's wet nurse usually serves by his side at all times, so wherever Chu Chengzhao is, she will be there too.
Sure enough, as soon as Emperor Yongping finished speaking, a woman about thirty years old was brought into the palace.
"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty. Long live the emperor."
Before Nanny Jia entered the hall, her face had already turned pale with fright.
She had served Chu Chengzhao for eight years and had never encountered such a major event.
"You must confess the truth about the Eighteenth Prince asking his servants to write the secret letter."
Emperor Yongping had a calm expression, and no one could guess what he was thinking.
Prince Shou looked at Chu Chengyi intently. He always felt that there were some traces of human intervention in today's incident.
"Yes, I have served His Highness the Eighteenth for eight years. His Highness never hides anything from me. I am afraid that His Highness does not like the fact that the young master of the General Wuwei's Mansion looks like him, so he wants to harm him.
However, when Your Highness ordered the servants to write the secret letter, I also advised Your Highness that after all, their mothers are twin sisters, and their resemblance is also fate, so they should cherish it.
But Your Highness does not think what I said is reasonable and insists on having his own way."
Nanny Jia prostrated herself on the ground and confessed the truth, while Chu Chengzhao clenched his fists tightly.
After hearing what Nanny Jia said, the court officials all looked at Chu Chengzhao and Wang Zixuan.
The claim that the two look 70% alike is not new.
In previous palace banquets, all the ladies and courtiers who had met the two of them would say that they were like brothers.
It's just a joke, everyone would just laugh it off.
Besides, the Empress and the Young Lady of the General Wuwei's Mansion are twin sisters, and they look like they were cast in the same mold.
There is nothing wrong with their children's imagination. What is there to mind?
"Now that the truth has been revealed, he will be punished according to the law. The Eighteenth Prince is so young, but he has such evil intentions. I think it is because I and the Queen have been too tolerant of him and have corrupted his habits."
This time, Emperor Yongping no longer asked Chu Chengzhao, but made a direct conclusion.
"Young Master Yu of Duke Xuan's Mansion was guilty of disrespecting the emperor, and also of deceiving the emperor, and of attempting to murder someone.
Minister of Rites and Minister of Punishments, you two should discuss quickly and see how to convict him so that both Duke Xuan and the old general will be satisfied."
Emperor Yongping stared at Duke Xuan, who was kneeling in the hall with his clothes already soaked with sweat, and looked at him several times.
A man who is so stupid as to raise a cuckolded daughter, I really underestimated him in the past.
"Your Majesty, why did you punish only me and not the eighteenth prince?"
When Luo Yongsen heard that he was charged with a lot of crimes, he couldn't help but become anxious.
