The emperor looked displeased, obviously accustomed to hearing sophistry and unwilling to listen any more.
Jing Yuchen's expression was cold. "Your Majesty, the General's wife can testify to this, as can everyone else who was present at the time. The wound on her forehead was caused by herself in an attempt to evade responsibility!"
Jing Yuchen's expression was very cold, and he had no sympathy for her at all. Chu Ningyang's face turned pale, and he just kept shaking his head: "Your Majesty, I really didn't!"
"Your Majesty, I have evidence!"
He pulled an arrow from his sleeve and held it up.
Chu Ningyang looked at Jing Yuchen in surprise, and saw the arrow was handed to the eunuch beside him, who presented it to the emperor.
The emperor reached out to take it. Jing Yuchen, standing below, explained, "This arrow was found at the crime scene. The arrowhead is engraved with the Chu family's words, and it was used exclusively by the Chu family. Combined with Ni Yingying's confession, Father, Chu Ningyang's crime can be punished!"
When Chu Ningyang saw the arrow, her eyes widened in disbelief. She shook her head, unwilling to believe it: "No, no, I didn't, Your Majesty, I didn't!"
The emperor looked at the arrow in his hand and finally threw it down. The arrow hit Chu Ningyang in front of her. She lowered her eyes to look, but she was still unwilling to believe it and unwilling to admit it. She kept shaking her head.
"No, that's not the case. May I ask where did the Second Prince find this arrow?"
Chu Ningyang looked at Jing Yuchen fiercely, his face full of doubt.
Jing Yuchen looked at her contemptuously and did not answer.
Chu Ningyang shook his head: "Your Majesty, please don't trust the Second Prince!"
But Chu Ningyang's words sounded so pale, without any sense of strength in defending himself.
"Princess Ningyang, you are jealous by nature. The evidence is right before my eyes. How can I trust you?"
Chu Ningyang's tears began to fall. He wanted to beg for mercy, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to defend himself. The emperor waved his hand in a headache and said, "Take him away!"
Chu Ningyang was dragged out by the palace servants. Jing Yuchen was still kneeling there. He asked, "Father, how will you deal with this princess?"
"What do you want?"
"She intended to kill the prince's concubine. Her crime is punishable by death, but she cannot escape punishment for her crime. I sentence her to life imprisonment to prevent her from causing harm again!"
"Lifelong house arrest? She's the princess of the Prince's Mansion!"
"Father, Yueshan is still my concubine!"
Jing Yuchen is determined to seek justice for Ni Yueshan.
The emperor looked at Jing Yuchen and began to feel a little disappointed with him.
"I never thought you liked Ni Yueshan to this extent. I will hand the princess over to you first. You will take her to the Prince's Mansion and personally supervise her house arrest!"
Letting Jing Yuchen supervise the matter is equivalent to letting Jing Yuchen go through the Prince's level himself!
How could the prince bear to let his precious daughter be placed under house arrest?
On the way to the Prince's Mansion, Chu Ningyang sat in the carriage with her wrists tied, shivering. She was a little scared and didn't dare to look at Jing Yuchen.
The atmosphere in the carriage was too depressing, so she tried to minimize her presence.
After waiting for a long time, they still didn't arrive at the Prince's Mansion. Chu Ningyang felt very strange. She raised her head to look at Jing Yuchen, but all she saw was Jing Yuchen's cold, resolute, and evil face.
"Why, why haven't we arrived at the Prince's Mansion yet?" Chu Ningyang asked curiously.
Jing Yuchen glanced at her sideways without answering, his thin lips tightly pursed, and Chu Ningyang felt even more weird.
As time went on for a long time, she couldn't help but lift the window curtain and look out. She was shocked to find that she was not on the way to the Prince's Mansion, but to the outside of the city!
Chu Ningyang's eyes widened as he stared at Jing Yuchen: "Why did you take me out of the city? The emperor just put me under house arrest!"
Facing Chu Ningyang's roar, Jing Yuchen seemed to be deaf to it. His expression remained calm without a ripple. He simply asked, "Are you curious about how I found that arrow?"
Chu Ningyang stared at Jing Yuchen blankly. Why did he feel something ominous?
Jing Yuchen curled his lips indifferently and smiled at her: "The arrow was stolen from the Prince's Mansion."
Chu Ningyang's cheeks instantly lost color. Jing Yuchen was so good at stealing arrows from the Prince's Mansion and fabricating false evidence just to make her prove her guilt!
And what does he want to do by taking her out of the city now?
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy and panicked she felt: "You, you are not planning to take me to the wilderness, accusing me of absconding, and then kill me to pay for my life?"
Her eyes were filled with fear, and her bright face was filled with horror.
