She put her hands on her hips and glared angrily, revealing her fierce and ferocious look, which made people feel surprised.
"A slave is so arrogant? Do you know who I am?"
Duan Gouqiong raised her chin proudly: "I don't care who you are! I am the Crown Princess's servant, the current Prince's Consort! You say bad things about the Crown Princess in front of me? Aren't you asking for a fight?"
When the other party heard that it was the princess, he immediately became timid. He shrank and said, "You, you, I won't bother with you!"
Then he waved away Shao Lecheng's hand that was grabbing his collar, but Shao Lecheng said, "Wait a minute, please explain the situation clearly to both of us. I have no intention of making things difficult for you!"
Afterwards, Duan Gouqiong and Shao Lecheng learned everything and went to find Ni Yueshan.
At this time, Ni Yueshan was in Miao Yuan's tent. Duan Gouqiong and Shao Lecheng walked in quickly and asked, "Crown Princess, what is going on?"
They just went into the woods for a night and hunted a rabbit? How could...
Ni Yueshan frowned and responded, "I just heard about this as well. I'm trying to figure it out right now."
"What are you still thinking about? You know who the murderer is without even thinking about it! The prince!" Duan Gouqiong named the person very firmly.
Ni Yueshan did not object. She also suspected that it was him, otherwise no one else would attack her!
But why did he use the same kind of poisonous snake to harm Miao Yuan first?
Seeing Ni Yueshan remained silent, Duan Gouqiong became impatient and said, "Don't think about it anymore. Go and clarify things in front of the emperor first. You don't know how rude those people are outside! I'm almost furious!"
Although Ni Yueshan was the person involved, his expression was very calm. Only Duan Gouqiong was furious. Others directly insulted Duan Gouqiong by name behind her back...
Ni Yueshan said helplessly, "That's the only way."
Instead of being summoned for questioning, it would be better for her to take the initiative and confess something to the emperor. This way, there would be a certain chance that the emperor would trust her.
Ni Yueshan asked for a meeting and was soon summoned in.
Ni Yueshan was about to kneel on the ground, but the emperor had already spoken first: "No need to be so polite, stand up!"
Ni Yueshan stood up and said, "Father, I have heard the news from the hunting grounds and know that it is not in my favor. Therefore, I cannot sit idly by. I am willing to take the initiative to investigate this matter, to clear my name and to ensure that those who were poisoned to death do not die unjustly!"
Seeing Ni Yueshan's solemn and determined expression, the emperor hesitated and said, "It's not that I don't trust your ability, but you're pregnant now. How can you investigate? I'll leave this laborious task to others!"
Ni Yueshan did not think that this was the emperor's consideration. She just felt that by doing this, the emperor might lose a great opportunity for investigation.
"Father, ever since I married into the General's Mansion, I've been plagued by intrigue and conspiracy! But I've always been able to uncover the truth on my own! So this time, I don't want to rely on others!"
"I also hope that the Emperor can grant this favor and allow this son to personally investigate. If Your Majesty is worried about my health, you can have the Imperial Physician stay by my side and help me take care of him. That way, the child shouldn't be in any trouble!"
Ni Yueshan's words surprised the emperor. He looked at Ni Yueshan standing below. Although Jing Yuchen was not there to support her, she had never shown any fear when facing him.
It was just like when he teamed up with Jing Yuchen to deceive him, the emperor, without any fear at all and was so bold.
Moreover, Ni Yueshan is the only person in the capital who has sued her husband to the Dali Temple. Her pride has never changed.
She won't let anyone bully her for nothing!
The emperor suddenly laughed, and his laughter was very relaxed: "Yes, I almost forgot, you are Ni Yueshan from the Prime Minister's Mansion. How many people have heard of your deeds? I also believe that you did not use your identity as Princess Gou Qiong to kill innocent people!"
"I give you permission, go ahead and investigate! I don't want to receive any impeachment petition against you!"
Ni Yueshan knelt down before the emperor: "Thank you, father!"
When Ni Yueshan walked out of the tent, Shao Lecheng and Duan Gouqiong hurried over and asked, "What happened?"
Ni Yueshan raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Of course I will take over the investigation myself and prove my innocence!"
The confident and sparkling light in Ni Yueshan's eyes gradually put Shao Lecheng at ease. He then patted Duan Gouqiong on the shoulder and said, "If you need us, just tell us!"
