The Minister of Justice, Tian Yongchang, angrily shouted, "Prince, stop slandering me!"
"That's enough. I don't want to hear you slander each other!"
After hearing this angry rebuke, everyone present fell silent for a moment. Finally, Chu Jianbai suggested, "Your Majesty, please send for the imperial physician who took my daughter's pulse. There is something hidden!"
"allow!"
The imperial physician was quickly summoned and knelt down. "Your Majesty, I have discovered that the princess is not unconscious due to a serious injury, but because someone smeared something in her hair!"
Everyone present looked at the imperial physician in surprise.
The imperial physician continued, "It's a powder that makes people irritable and impulsive after inhaling it!"
Wei Qingqiu immediately questioned, "How come I didn't find any medicinal powder when I examined the princess at the Tian family?"
"It wasn't discovered at the time because the princess wasn't unconscious. The doctor only examined the wound and missed the medicine powder, which is understandable!"
"Actually, this technique isn't easily noticeable. It was only because the princess happened to apply a wound medicine that counteracted the madness powder on her face that it took effect, causing her to fall into a coma!"
The imperial physician's analysis was well-reasoned and did not sound like random talk. Everyone present fell silent.
Chu Jianbai quickly explained, "Your Majesty, I suspect that the Tian family tampered with my daughter's hair, which caused her temper to become even more irritable and led to such a big mistake!"
Tian Yongchang immediately retorted: "Don't slander me, Prince. Everyone knows that it was your daughter who took the initiative to go to the Tian family and cause trouble!"
"So what? It's you, the Tian family, who are playing along! You're taking advantage of Ning Yang's innocent and spoiled nature, and deliberately drugging her to make her even more manic!"
"The more trouble she causes, the more your Tian family will benefit! Do you dare to deny that your family members don't covet the position of the Second Prince's wife?"
Tian Yongchang was a little excited: "You are talking nonsense, how can anyone touch the princess's hair if they want to?"
Ni Yueshan spoke at the right moment: "I can testify that Miss Tian once grabbed the princess by the hair and slammed her against a pillar! That was the right time!"
"Stop slandering Qinan! She is gentle by nature, how could she be the kind of person who would hurt others!" Wei Qingqiu spoke up to speak up for Tian Qinan.
"I saw it with my own eyes and am telling you the truth. Just as the Minister was wondering just now, how can anyone grab the princess's hair? After much thought, the only person who could do that is Miss Tian!"
"Your Majesty, this is unfair! Miss Ni went to Tian's residence with the princess, and it was obvious that she had bad intentions. All of this must have been planned by Miss Ni!" Wei Qingqiu's eyes were bloodshot, and he kowtowed to the emperor sitting on the dragon throne in front of him, asking for the decision!
Ni Yueshan responded calmly, "Madam seems to have forgotten that my hands are tied. The princess is arrogant and has arrested me, intending to have Miss Tian punish me."
"She probably wanted to see Miss Tian and I fight each other, and then she could reap the benefits. But Miss Tian was so arrogant that she mocked the princess, causing her to become furious."
"That's why I took action to teach Miss Tian a lesson. Now it seems that Miss Tian deliberately angered the princess so that she could attack her and make the princess escalate the incident, thus damaging her reputation and losing her qualification to become the Second Prince's consort!"
Ni Yueshan's analysis was calm and composed, but he twisted things into something that sounded logical and well-founded.
Wei Qingqiu was dissatisfied, "This is just your speculation, there is no evidence!"
Ni Yueshan looked forward generously, and fell on the emperor: "Your Majesty, Miss Tian is still in a coma. Why don't you send someone to search Miss Tian's room to see if there are any suspicious drugs."
"If not, then Miss Tian will be cleared of all charges. If so, then the truth will be revealed."
"OK!"
The Tian family became inexplicably uneasy, as Ni Yueshan spoke with confidence.
An incense stick of time later, the palace servants who had been searching returned: "Your Majesty, after searching Miss Tian's room, we found no suspicious drugs, but the eldest lady... was woken up!"
The emperor's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Wasn't she unconscious? Why was she woken up?"
Ni Yueshan raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Your Majesty, yesterday the doctor at the Prince's Mansion suspected that Miss Tian was feigning coma. Due to the obstruction of the Tian family mother and son, they ultimately did not expose Miss Tian. Now it seems that she was indeed feigning!"
Chu Jianbai immediately pointed at the three members of the Tian family excitedly. "You, the Tian family, are so bold! You let your daughter pretend to be unconscious and deceive the emperor!"
Tian Yongchang quickly explained, "Your Majesty, my daughter might have been unconscious yesterday and is feeling better today, so the slightest noise woke her up!"
The emperor did not delve into the question and simply said, "Since you're awake, please pass it on!"
Tian Qinan pretended to faint and was discovered. Fearing she would be charged with deceiving the emperor, she trembled slightly with fear and knelt on the ground: "This humble woman greets the emperor."
"I ask you, have you ever poisoned the princess?"
Tian Qinan was stunned: "Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of poison it is. Please enlighten me!"
Ni Yueshan took the initiative to suggest: "Your Majesty, the person who poisoned the room will naturally not easily admit to it. If the room is searched and nothing is found, it is very likely that the evidence has been destroyed. However, Miss Tian was still unconscious yesterday. She may not have washed herself, and there may be evidence left behind."
Tian Qinan glared at Ni Yueshan: "Yesterday you insisted that I was pretending to be unconscious, and now you say I really was unconscious!"
"Even if Miss Tian pretended to be unconscious yesterday, it is not ruled out that you played the whole game and pretended to be unconscious all night!"
Even though Ni Yueshan had wrongly accused someone, he remained calm and composed, and was willing to make the person angry to death.
"Check!" The emperor gave an order, and the imperial physician walked up to Tian Qinan, who had no choice but to cooperate.
After a thorough examination, the imperial physician exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty, there is indeed medicine powder on this woman's finger!"
Tian Qinan's eyes widened in surprise: "Impossible!"
The imperial physician knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense."
The emperor indifferently issued another order: "Check, it's the same medicine."
The imperial physician did not recheck the patient, but said with absolute certainty, "Your Majesty, based on my years of medical experience, it is the same type!"
Tian Qinan's face turned pale instantly: "Your Majesty, I did not do it. I am innocent!"
Wei Qingqiu was anxious: "Your Majesty, Qinan has always been gentle and kind, and would never do anything to frame someone. Your Majesty, please be careful!"
"I only believe the evidence I see!"
After the emperor finished speaking in a cold voice, he looked at the imperial physician and asked, "The princess is still unconscious. Does she need to be relieved?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured. If you replace the incompatible facial ointment, she will wake up. Alternatively, you can have the princess wash her hair..."
"It's good that you can solve it. The daughter of the Tian family, for your own selfish desires, indirectly caused the death of the old lady. You are guilty of the same crime as the princess of the Chu family! You are punished by being banned from the royal family tree and becoming a member of the royal family for the rest of your life!"
Chu Jianbai knelt on the ground: "Thank you for your grace!"
"Your Majesty, I..." Tian Qinan was about to say something, but Tian Yongchang spoke first, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, I'm tired, everyone please leave!"
After everyone left, Ni Yueshan breathed a sigh of relief.
After everyone left, the emperor spoke again: "Summon the Second Prince!"
