Hua Yuanzhao's hand hidden under his sleeve relaxed quietly. The changes in the corpse after death are closely related to temperature, humidity, etc.

She deliberately raised the temperature in the room last night in order to bring forward the time of Xu Wanqing's death.

Hua Yuanzhao said guiltily: "After Su found Zhu'er yesterday, I was affected by the poison in Zhu'er's hand and made a wrong judgment. In addition, Su wasted some time at that time, so..."

"After I asked Mrs. Su to leave the room, Mrs. Xu died suddenly." Hua Yuanzhao sighed again: "Although I immediately started first aid, I was still a step too late."

After hearing this, Prime Minister Hua and Old Madam Hua looked at Aunt Su with changed eyes.

What happened last night is still vivid in her mind. It was she who pointed out that Zhu'er had hidden the drugs, it was she who said that Xu Wanqing wanted to commit suicide, and it was she who falsely accused Hua Yuanzhao of helping Xu Wanqing commit suicide.

Aunt Su deliberately delayed the time to repeat these words last night in order to make Hua Yuanzhao bear the stigma of "helping Xu Wanqing commit suicide".

Now that the truth has been revealed, her actions have become evidence to convict her.

Hua Yuanshan felt as if she had been struck by lightning. By saying this, wasn't this bitch putting all the blame on the aunt for Xu Wanqing's death?

"You have no evidence at all!" Hua Yuanshan shouted in panic and looked at Prime Minister Hua helplessly.

"Dad! She made all these up!" Hua Yuanshan burst into tears and cried, "Shan'er did spread the rumors, but Shan'er definitely didn't want Madam Xu to die!"

Hua Yuanshan crawled forward on his knees and grabbed the hem of Prime Minister Hua's clothes, as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Shan'er just believed what my elder sister said and thought she had stabbed Madam Xu in the heart... Daddy, how can someone with a knife in the heart survive? Shan'er spread the rumor just to tell the Xu family! My daughter, my daughter just doesn't want Madam Xu to die in obscurity!"

The Xu family also secretly shed tears. Upon hearing this, the Xu family's madam snorted coldly: "You spread rumors and sow discord between the two families. Do you think my Xu family should thank you?"

This person sounded righteous, but implicitly he treated them as fools!

Hua Yuanshan gritted her teeth and sobbed, "Dad, my aunt sent someone to find that Mr. Li just to find out about Madam Xu's character through Zhu'er! There was absolutely no ill intention..."

Who doesn't know that my father's harem is empty and my aunt has been favored for many years? Under such circumstances, it is reasonable for my aunt to want to find out about the Xu family's character when the girl comes into the house!

"Besides, who doesn't know the reputation of Prince Rong..." Hua Yuanshan said with sobs: "Those people may be afraid of the prince, so they have to cooperate and give false testimony..."

"Do you want to say that I was tortured into confessing?" Rong Xiu sneered and looked at Hua Yuanshan with disdain.

"Cough!" The emperor coughed lightly.

This is the imperial study after all. Is this kid from the Rong family too arrogant?

Rong Xiu quickly changed his words: "Your Majesty, the witness is outside the palace. I would like to ask for your permission to bring the witness to the imperial study for an answer!"

The emperor raised his eyelids and glared at him, impatiently saying, "Take me to the imperial study to answer? What do you think my imperial study is? A stage?"

Rong Xiu touched his nose guiltily and winked at Hua Yuanzhao secretly.

"Of course I believe the testimony you handed in." The emperor said slowly, tapping his fingertips on the table.

Hua Yuanshan was so frightened that her blood froze. If the emperor believed this kind of testimony, wouldn't he be believing that it was the aunt who was killing people!

What should I do?

Prime Minister Hua looked down at his frightened daughter and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If her biological mother were charged with murdering her stepmother, it would be even more difficult for Shan'er to become the third prince's concubine.

He would also be ridiculed and branded as a man who favors his concubine over his wife.

Prime Minister Hua was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Zhao'er."

Being called out of the blue, Hua Yuanzhao also sighed and looked up at Prime Minister Hua innocently.

"Does father have any questions?"

"Even if the testimony in Prince Rong's hand is true, it can only prove that Shan'er spread rumors and that Su sent people to monitor Li Sheng." Prime Minister Hua avoided the main point and chose his words carefully.

"But we can't directly prove that it was Su who bribed Zhu'er to poison her, and we can't prove that it was Su who killed Xu."

Prime Minister Hua is worthy of being the prime minister of the current dynasty. In just a moment, he accurately found the loophole in Hua Yuanzhao's words.

"You said that it was the Su family who harmed people, then show us more direct evidence!"

Prime Minister Hua half-closed his eyes, his voice filled with wind, rain and pressure, and he attacked the kneeling Hua Yuanzhao mercilessly.
