In the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Jiang Yueyang sat in her seat, silently thinking about what she was going to say next.
After a while, a strong smell of medicine filled the air, accompanied by a faint smell of blood.
She instinctively looked in the direction where the smell of medicine came from, and then saw Qin Shi walking past her with a pale face.
She also heard about Qin Shi being assassinated and injured.
Today, he went to court with injuries. Perhaps, like her, he wanted to resolve the issue of Su Yuan at the morning court.
Princess Yuehua was also crazy. She sent out assassins to kill dozens of officers and soldiers along the way, and she also wanted to kill Qin Shi.
Although there is no evidence to prove that the assassinations were carried out by Princess Yuehua, everyone is not stupid.
After several waves of assassinations, even a fool would know that something is wrong.
I'm afraid someone will pretend to be stupid...
When other people in the hall saw Qin Shi coming to court, they all looked at him. The Grand Court Minister and several officials were concerned about his injuries.
Of course, they also knew that Qin Shi came to court under such circumstances, so he must have something to say.
As for what it was, everyone knew it.
Qin Shi thanked those who cared about him and sat down. Not long after, Emperor Yuan arrived.
Seeing Qin Shi appear in the hall, Emperor Yuan knew that Su Yuan’s case had to be handled today.
Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, Qin Shi slowly stood up by supporting himself on the low table.
He stepped out of the line and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I have fulfilled your mission. I have now found out that Su sued Princess Yuehua for taking human life, and I have brought back witnesses. Please make the decision, Your Majesty!"
As soon as Qin Shi finished speaking, Lord Wei stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this case concerns the reputation of the royal family. The trial should be held as soon as possible."
[Hmm?] Jiang Yueyang frowned.
Hearing Jiang Yueyang's slightly dissatisfied voice, Lord Wei frowned in confusion. Was he wrong?
The system chuckled, [Host, it seems that Lord Wei didn't fully understand what you meant. ]
Jiang Yueyang didn't have time to respond to the system. He hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Yuehua is now living in the palace. You said before that you would try the case in person. Why not try it in this palace?"
Hearing this, Lord Wei knew why she was dissatisfied. It turned out that she wanted His Majesty to try the case in front of all the civil and military officials.
"I second the motion." Qin Shi spoke again.
As the chief official of the Dali Temple, the Dali Temple Minister naturally wanted to support his own people, so he also stepped out to second the motion.
Moreover, he was very angry that Princess Yuehua tried to kill Qin Shi!
As the Dali Temple Minister's voice fell, the left and right prime ministers and Duke Su Guo and others also stood up to second the motion.
Upon seeing this, their officials stepped forward one after another, and for a moment, voices of secondment were heard one after another in the hall.
Emperor Yuan was secretly displeased when he saw this scene.
Do they think I will be partial to them by acting like this?
I have placed him under house arrest in the palace. Doesn't this make my attitude clear?
Forget it, I am magnanimous and won’t bother with them!
Emperor Yuan raised his hand to signal them to be quiet, then said expressionlessly: "Send Yuehua and Su to the palace."
Hearing this, the officials who stood up slowly returned to their seats. In order to facilitate the conversation, they all stood at the same time.
The same goes for Jiang Yueyang. It is too troublesome to sit down and stand up again.
While waiting for Princess Yuehua and Su Yuan to arrive, Qin Shi was not idle. He reported all the suspicious points he had investigated to Emperor Yuan one by one, and said that the witnesses were waiting outside the palace.
In order to reduce the waiting time, Jiang Yueyang took the lead in requesting Emperor Yuan to summon the witness as well.
Emperor Yuan waved his hand and agreed.
[Little melon, it seems that His Majesty has no intention of showing favoritism.] Jiang Yueyang said.
Emperor Yuan snorted: I never intended to show favoritism!
Yuehua killed the Su family and so many officers and soldiers. If he showed favoritism, all the civil and military officials would probably rebel against him!
System: [Even if he wants to be partial, he can't be partial. The civil and military officials are not fools.]
About a quarter of an hour later, Princess Yuehua, her daughter and Su Yuan entered the hall one after another.
Emperor Yuan asked in a deep voice: "Yuehua, Su sued you for stealing her husband for her daughter and killing her entire family. What do you say?"
"Yuehua is innocent!" Princess Yuehua cried out, "Yuehua admits that she arrested Su's husband, but it was because that man flirted with Wen'an and slandered Yuehua. Yuehua was so angry that she arrested him."
"No, Your Majesty, she is lying. My husband has never done anything frivolous to them!"
"The people of Yizhou all saw it with their own eyes. Your husband held onto Wen An's hand and wouldn't let go. If that wasn't frivolous, what was that?" Princess Yuehua asked harshly.
The Lady of Wen'an County echoed, "Your Majesty, you can see clearly that Wen'an was indeed grabbed by the hand by that scoundrel that day."
"You...you are shameless! That day, my husband clearly tried to stop you from hitting me!"
Emperor Yuan slapped the dragon table and said, "Silence!"
He glanced at the three people, then grabbed the token on the dragon table and threw it down, "Yuehua, do you recognize that token?"
When Princess Yuehua saw the token, a trace of panic flashed across her eyes, but she quickly calmed down.
She said calmly, "Your Majesty, that token is the one worn by Yuehua's personal soldiers."
"According to Su, this token was dropped by someone who was chasing her. How do you explain it?"
Princess Yuehua immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, someone must have deliberately framed Yuehua. The personal guard token is occasionally lost, and a token cannot prove anything."
Princess Wen'an also knelt down to provide evidence, saying that there were records of lost tokens and it would be clear with a simple check.
At this time, Jiang Yueyang said: [They are really good at making excuses. If Qin Shi hadn't found the witness, they really wouldn't have been convicted! ]
Princess Yuehua suddenly looked up. Who was talking?
Why is there a woman in the hall?
Princess Yuehua is obsessed with male beauty and spends all day seeking pleasure in the princess mansion. She is unaware of what is happening in the capital, and is unaware of Jiang Yueyang's existence and abilities.
Qin Shi stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I rescued a man in Yizhou. The man claimed that he was captured by Princess Yuehua and forced to be her lover. He also said that he saw Princess Yuehua kill someone with his own eyes."
As soon as these words were spoken, Princess Yuehua’s eyes widened!
Didn't she kill all those people?
Suddenly, she realized something and glanced at County Lady Wen'an.
Princess Wen'an also realized it and her face turned pale.
At the same time, Qin Shi pleaded loudly: "Your Majesty, please summon him to the palace for a confrontation!"
"Xuan!"
