Chapter 56 It's getting more interesting

In the afternoon, people from the Ministry of Justice arrived at the General's Mansion as expected and took away Mo Huaiqing, who was crying loudly.

Mo Tiancheng was worried about his daughter and wanted to follow her even though he was not feeling well. When Mo Yunzhu received the news, she immediately rushed to the Ministry of Justice.

The lobby of the Ministry of Justice is majestic and dignified, but at the moment it is empty and does not have the standard layout for trial.

Because this matter concerned the Crown Prince and the General's Office, only the Minister of Justice and the Vice Minister of Justice were present.

The Minister of Justice Sun Jinru went to the suburbs to burn incense yesterday. He only found out about so many things in the middle of the night. He was so scared that his beard was almost burned. Fortunately, the Minister Chen Chunsheng did a good job.

The entire royal garden was closed, and people from the Ministry of Justice were searching the island and the shore for clues.

"Lord Sun, the whole incident has nothing to do with my daughter. She just happened to go to see the prince and didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Her maid Hongdou was also killed on the spot, so it is very obvious that Huaiqing did not do it." Mo Tiancheng explained first.

"General, please be patient." Minister Sun looked at Mo Tiancheng and said, "I will follow the procedures. I will answer a few questions first."

Minister Sun's expression was a little cold, which made Mo Yunzhu feel a little strange.

Mo Tiancheng looked at Mo Huaiqing, who was so scared that tears were streaming down his face, and felt very sad, so he could only nod.

Mo Yunzhu sat beside him, reached out and covered her father's hand and said softly, "Dad, don't worry, my second sister will be fine. She didn't do it, so how can you wrongly accuse her?"

Minister Sun glanced at Mo Yunzhu, who in turn glanced at him sharply, and at the same time glanced at Chen Chunsheng.

She didn't know whether Chen Xiner had told her father about Zhang Fengyi, but Chen Chunsheng didn't come to arrest her, which meant that either Chen Xiner didn't tell her, or she did, but Chen Chunsheng was too concerned and didn't dare to do anything.

After all, if she threatened Chen Xiner, she would definitely tell her father.

"Mo Huaiqing, tell me honestly why you went to the prince's place. You should know that everyone else was on the shore at that time, and you and your servant were the exception."

The fact that the two sisters of the Gu family were framed has been uncovered, but compared to the matter of the crown prince, it was just a small matter, not to mention that it had already been resolved privately.

Gao Pianran is the daughter of the Grand Tutor, who is the Emperor's teacher. It would be best not to provoke her if possible.

"Your Excellency, I just want to ask the Crown Prince which lady he likes. After all, I am already the Crown Prince's concubine, and I also want to know who the Crown Princess is so that I can establish a good relationship in advance." Mo Huaiqing said tearfully.

"Is it really that simple?" The Minister sneered, and his momentum in the trial was very strong.

"Lord Sun, Huai Qing is telling the truth."

"Did you see anyone suspicious after you went in?"

"After I went in, I quickly passed out. Apart from the prince and the guards, I didn't see anyone else." Mo Huaiqing sobbed.

"Mo Huaiqing, you know that the prince and the guards all said that they were framed, and now you are the biggest suspect!"

"My Lord, it really wasn't me. I am the Crown Prince's concubine. How could I frame the Crown Prince? Besides, that was the Five Poison Powder. Who could have such a thing?"

"Mo Huaiqing! How dare you lie!" Minister Sun suddenly shouted angrily.

Mo Tiancheng frowned, and Mo Yunzhu also narrowed his eyes.

"Ah, I, I didn't lie, Lord Sun, what do you mean? You are not going to frame me! It was a short time from the time I entered the prince's place to the time the whole thing was discovered. Before that, I also met the guards of the Ye family. They can testify. How could I have poisoned the prince and the guards in such a short time? And can the five poisons spread so quickly?"

Ye Yuqing is the granddaughter of the Minister of Industry. Although her performance in the competition was not outstanding, everyone knew that she participated.

Her guards were also going in and out of the island, and they did see Mo Huaiqing and Hongdou heading towards the prince's courtyard.

Mo Huaiqing remembered it last night and told Mo Yunzhu, which is also one of the evidences.

"Mo Huaiqing, although someone saw you passing by, the guard said that there was about one-third of an incense stick of time before the incident. The Five Poison Powder was dropped into the water and took effect quickly, so you are still a suspect, not to mention..." Minister Sun suddenly spoke loudly again.

"What's more?" Mo Huaiqing was so scared that his face turned blue.

"What's more, Guard Xiao found a packet of Five Poison Powder on you! How dare you make excuses?" Minister Sun exclaimed in surprise.

Mo Huaiqing suddenly screamed in shock: "No, it's impossible, I don't have the Five Poison Powder! Don't slander me!"

Mo Tiancheng had also stood up, staring at Minister Sun and said coldly, "Master Sun, is there any misunderstanding here?"

"General, Xiao Nan has woken up. He was the one who knocked Miss Mo unconscious and found the Five Poison Powder. However, he was also poisoned by the Five Poison Powder and was seriously injured. He has been in a coma ever since and just woke up this morning."

Mo Tiancheng staggered and said, "Impossible, is the prince trying to frame my daughter?"

Minister Sun immediately said angrily: "General, we have both witnesses and evidence, how can this be a frame-up! But General, don't worry. The Queen thinks that General Mo must not know about Mo Huaiqing's behavior. After all, General Mo is not stupid."

"You..." Mo Tiancheng was almost angry.

Mo Yunzhu suddenly sneered, "Lord Sun, the witness is the prince's guard? Don't you think this is too unfair? There is also a medicine bag of Five Poison Powder, we want to see it."

Lord Sun narrowed his eyes and looked at Mo Yunzhu, then said to Chen Chunsheng, "Chunsheng, go and take out the Five Poison Powder package that you found on Mo Huaiqing and show it to the general and the eldest lady."

"Yes, sir." Chen Chunsheng glanced at Mo Yunzhu and went in.

"I didn't. I didn't harm the prince. The prince will be my husband soon. How could I do such a thing? I am innocent, father, sister, I am innocent." Mo Huaiqing collapsed.

"Shut up! Why are you crying? If you didn't do it, no one can accuse you! Not even the Empress!" Mo Yunzhu shouted coldly.

Mo Huaiqing was so frightened by her sister's sharp words that she shut her mouth. At this moment, she felt that it was great to have such an elder sister, which actually made her feel a little relieved.

Mo Tiancheng glanced at Mo Yunzhu. His hair had grown a lot greyer overnight and he looked very haggard, but he was also shocked to see his daughter's strength.

At this moment, Mo Yunzhu had made all kinds of plans and thought she could defeat the prince and help Prince Lan, but she didn't expect that her stupid sister would become their scapegoat.

She can ignore her, but she can't ignore her parents.

This really made her very angry. She had thought that life would definitely not be easy after the crown prince was deposed. Mo Huaiqing would only be a concubine of the deposed crown prince and she would never be able to realize her ambitions. So she just let her fend for herself. She would have avenged the original owner. She never expected this to happen.

Minister Sun looked at Mo Yunzhu again. He had seen Mo Yunzhu many times, but this was the first time he felt that Mo Yunzhu had changed, and had become very powerful.

Chen Chunsheng quickly came out with a palm-sized bag. Mo Huaiqing screamed the moment he saw it.

"This, this is not mine, I don't have such a thing, you are slandering me!" Mo Huaiqing's excitement made Mo Yunzhu realize that this was not the medicine bag that Mo Huaiqing dropped.

It seems that the Queen and the Crown Prince really want to make Mo Huaiqing a scapegoat, and they even brought the real Five Poison Powder.

Mo Yunzhu stood up, took the medicine bag and opened it. She saw that it contained some rough powdered herbs. She smelled it and found that it was indeed the Five Poison Powder.

Mo Yunzhu looked at the medicine bag and suddenly laughed. Things were really getting more and more interesting.
