Ni Yingying opened her mouth to argue, and Qingdie's frown deepened. She raised her head and kowtowed hard in the direction of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, she recruited all these people herself, it wasn't a common woman's frame-up!"
"Remember your confessions now. I will conduct a thorough investigation. Someone, bring in the Fourth Prince's wife and the princess!"
Soon, the two men walked into the hall, and both knelt down in fear and saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
The emperor's expression was serious, and he asked sternly, "Do you two know why I summoned you two?"
"Your Majesty, I am stupid and don't know!" Yang Wanqing responded with a pale face. Her voice was too small, so small that it was weak.
The princess knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am also stupid and don't know why Your Majesty summoned me!"
The emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, "Fourth Prince Consort, why do you look so weak?"
When questioned by the emperor, Yang Wanqing immediately responded: "Your servant, I have lost my offspring..."
After saying this, his face was filled with sorrow and he began to cry softly.
The emperor frowned. Another royal child was gone!
"How did you lose it?"
The emperor did not let Yang Wanqing get up, and he showed no sympathy for her!
Yang Wanqing sobbed softly, "Yes, I was weak and had a miscarriage."
As she spoke, she looked like she would faint at any moment!
Qingdie on the side frowned deeply. Because she was not at the scene, she didn't know what happened at the scene, but she heard Jing Yuchen say with her own ears that it was indeed Yang Wanqing who planned it!
Ni Yingying just confessed to revealing one more princess!
She immediately turned to the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, if I forced the confession, why did I only let the General's wife testify against the two of them?"
"And if this was a frame-up, how could I dare to flaunt it in front of Your Majesty? How could I dare to frame these two without absolute certainty?"
As she spoke, she kowtowed vigorously, losing all her previous arrogance.
For Qingdie, Yang Wanqing and the princess can be killed but cannot be punished!
So she could only ask the emperor to take action personally, punish the two, and bring justice to Jing Yuchen and Ni Yueshan!
Yang Wanqing wiped her tears and then pretended to faint: "Your Majesty, your... your concubine..."
Before she could finish her words, she fell down.
Seeing this, the princess at the side immediately said pitifully, "Your Majesty, I have been staying in the capital city obediently. I wonder what on earth it is that Your Majesty summoned me here today?"
"Your Majesty, I am confused and terrified. Please tell me!"
As she spoke she knelt on the ground.
The eunuch standing by couldn't help but remind him: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince's wife seems to be very weak, obviously..."
"Take him away and see the doctor!"
"yes."
The palace servants carried Yang Wanqing away. Qingdie was a little anxious. She looked at Ni Gaofei and said, "Prime Minister, please speak quickly!"
Ni Gaofei frowned tightly. He wanted to speak, but he didn't understand the situation at that time. How could he debate?
"Your Majesty, I would like to have a private chat with the General's wife."
"allow!"
Ni Yingying's body stiffened as she knelt on the ground. She said, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I, your concubine, am colluding with the Prime Minister?"
"I believe in your father's character!"
Ni Yingying bit her lip and reluctantly followed Ni Gaofei towards the outer hall.
Ni Gaofei's face was calm and serious. Ni Yingying swallowed hard, "Dad, what do you want to say to your daughter? If you do this, the emperor will be suspicious!"
Ni Gaofei looked at her sternly, "Tell me the truth! Were you forced to write this blood oath to falsely accuse someone, or are you deliberately denying it now?"
Ni Yingying raised her face and looked at Ni Gaofei with a wronged look: "Dad, why do you talk like that?"
"Why would my daughter lie? That's my...elder sister! My elder sister and I are real sisters! How could I help the Fourth Prince's wife and an unrelated princess?"
"Dad, you shouldn't trust a servant who talks nonsense instead of your daughter!"
She looked angry, as if she was very dissatisfied with Ni Gaofei's suspicion!
Ni Gaofei saw that Ni Yingying didn't seem to be lying, but even if he had never had contact with the maid Qingdie, Qingdie would definitely not gossip!
He frowned deeply and glared at Ni Yingying fiercely: "Then let me ask you, why was Zou Yangyao seriously injured? Was he also at the crime scene? Let him come over as a witness?"
