The maid Lu'e emotionally recounted the crimes of Princess Yuehua, and every word was filled with heart-wrenching pain.
It turned out that Princess Yuehua had been keeping a lover in the princess's mansion since the third year after her husband's death.
That year, Princess Yuehua held a poetry meeting in the princess's mansion and invited students from Yizhou City to participate.
On the surface, Princess Yuehua provides a place for students to exchange knowledge.
But in fact, she was looking for a well-educated and handsome man to be her lover.
There were many vain students who wanted to curry favor with the rich and powerful. Knowing that they had won the favor of the princess, they did not even take the imperial examination.
There are people who are willing to be a concubine, and naturally there are also those who are not willing.
At the beginning, Princess Yuehua did not kill anyone just because they were unwilling.
She just made things difficult for those students who were unwilling to become her slaves, making it difficult for them to take a single step in Yizhou and making their journey to study even more difficult and encountering obstacles at every turn.
Many students ruined their path to the imperial examinations because of her deliberate obstruction, but they were powerless to resist.
The poetry gathering at the Princess's Mansion is held every three years.
When the third poetry gathering was held, Lu'e's brother went to Yizhou Prefecture School alone to study.
But before he had the chance to take the entrance examination for the prefectural school, he was kindly dragged by students from the Yizhou prefectural school to attend a poetry meeting at the princess's mansion.
Lu'e's elder brother was very knowledgeable and good-looking. Princess Yuehua fell in love with him at first sight.
Unfortunately, Lu'e's brother was determined to take the imperial examination and become an official, so he rejected the temptation thrown by Princess Yuehua.
This time, Princess Yuehua did not deliberately make things difficult for Lu'e's brother, but directly detained him secretly in the princess's mansion.
Lu'e's brother was locked in a secret room, and Princess Wen'an would use various means every day to ask him whether he was willing to stay in the princess's mansion.
Are you willing to serve Princess Yuehua?
Lu'e's brother was a stubborn man who would rather die than give in, and was eventually tortured to death in a secret room.
Lu'e heard all these things after she sneaked into the princess's mansion.
The reason why she sneaked into the princess's mansion was because her brother had been in Yizhou for three months and had not sent any letter home to report his safety.
She was worried that something had happened to her brother, so she came to Yizhou to look for him.
After asking around, she finally found a clue at the inn where her brother had stayed.
Because her brother was very handsome, the innkeeper remembered him as soon as he saw her brother's portrait.
The shopkeeper was very angry and said that Lu'e's brother owed rent and asked Lu'e to pay.
After paying the silver, Lu'e took her brother's bag back from the shopkeeper and went to find the Yizhou student who the shopkeeper said had left with her brother.
The Yizhou student knew nothing, he only said that on the day of the poetry gathering, Lu'e's brother suddenly disappeared.
He searched for a long time in the princess's mansion but couldn't find him, so he returned home alone. Since then, he has never seen Lu'e's brother again.
Lu'e believed that her brother's disappearance was related to the princess's mansion, so she sold herself to the princess's mansion.
It took her two years to gain Princess Yuehua's trust. For this, she killed someone and almost lost her life.
After gaining Princess Yuehua's trust, she knew more things. Then, she slowly found out about her brother.
Lu'e wanted to avenge her brother, so she secretly collected evidence of Princess Yuehua's crimes and waited for the right opportunity to act.
However, her secret collection of evidence was discovered by Liu Yan.
She thought there was no hope for her revenge, but she didn't expect Liu Yan didn't report her.
And so, the two of them secretly joined forces.
It was Lu'e who secretly told Su Yuan that her future husband was dead after she disguised herself.
After Lu'e told everything she knew, she wiped the tears from her face and took out a cloth bag from her sleeve.
She poured out the contents of the cloth bag in front of everyone, including jade pendants, finger rings, ocarinas, seals, sachets and other things.
Su Yuan saw a bloody handkerchief and felt it looked familiar, so she reached out and picked it up.
Seeing this, Lu'e said, "You embroidered this handkerchief, didn't you? He was holding it in his hand before he died."
Su Yuan grabbed the handkerchief and pressed it against her chest. She looked as if she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe or speak, and she couldn't even cry.
Everyone present couldn't bear to watch it and looked away with red eyes.
Princess Yuehua rushed over like crazy, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it, you guys are framing me!"
Liu Yan reacted quickly and pushed her away.
At the same time, Emperor Yuan pointed at Princess Yuehua and shouted, "Catch her and don't let her hurt anyone."
Hearing this, Xie Beixiao immediately went over and caught the man.
Princess Yuehua continued to struggle, "Brother, I didn't kill anyone, they all teamed up to frame me. Brother, they want to harm me!"
Emperor Yuan was annoyed and waved his hand, saying, "Shut her mouth."
Soon, the hall became quiet.
After Lu'e glanced at Princess Yuehua who had her mouth gagged, she introduced the items in front of her one by one.
"Your Majesty, these things are all personal belongings of those who were captured. These three jade pendants belong to the three young masters, Chen Zixuan from Suzhou, Liu Yifeng from Jingzhou, and Xu Zhicheng from Liangzhou. The ring is..."
Every time she read a name, she could recall their tragic scenes before death, and tears could not stop flowing.
Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes, [Xiaogua, Su Yuan and the others must be in a lot of pain, right?]
[Yes, they are in pain. But I think the most painful ones are the dead. Not only were they slaughtered, but their souls were also destroyed.] The system said and glanced at Lu'e, [Take Lu'e's brother for example, he was killed by Princess Yuehua...]
The system couldn't bear to continue talking here.
After hearing what the system said, Lu'e's heart beat faster and her breathing became rapid. What other cruel things had they done to her brother?
Although he could guess that what the system was going to say next would be somewhat cruel, Jiang Yueyang still reluctantly asked: [What did Princess Yuehua do to Lu'e's brother? ]
[Princess Yuehua...] The system sighed heavily, [She coveted Brother Lu'e's body, drugged him and forced him to have sex.]
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu'e's tears fell like a pearl necklace with a broken string.
elder brother……
All the civil and military officials gasped and were shocked.
Emperor Yuan really didn't expect that Princess Yuehua, who was so well-versed in women and followed the rules, would do such a ridiculous thing!
How hungry she is...
Jiang Yueyang didn't understand, but she was also relieved.
She thought Princess Yuehua was so disrespectful of human life that she would cut a person into pieces out of anger!
At this time, the system said: [Now that there is evidence, there should be no need to continue the trial, right? ]
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang immediately stepped forward and bowed to Emperor Yuan, "Your Majesty, Princess Yuehua and Princess Wen'an have committed murder, and the evidence is irrefutable. Please punish them according to the law!"
"Your Majesty, please deal with it according to the law!" said all the civil and military officials in unison.
