"It's like this. Five days ago, on the day the Crown Prince and my wife got married, the bridesmaid who presided over our wedding ceremony was actually an assassin. Not only did she hide many poisonous snakes and scorpions on our wedding bed, but she also took advantage of the chaos to assassinate the Crown Prince, causing him to become ill."
The emperor rebuked him, "How foolish! The assassination of the crown prince was such a serious matter, why wasn't it reported the day after the wedding?"
Murong Xiao immediately squatted down and pretended to kneel and said, "Because Xiniang saw that the assassination attempt failed, she committed suicide with a knife. However, we only discovered yesterday that Xiniang's bellyband was actually made of Liuyun brocade."
"Your Majesty, this is a monstrous injustice! Prince Li would never do such a foolish thing!" Although they knew that the Crown Prince's Mansion had already found out about Liu Yunjin, they couldn't do anything if she claimed she had only discovered it yesterday. The Imperial Concubine, standing nearby, was extremely upset when she heard Murong Xiao reveal the assassination, and cried out in genuine injustice.
"Royal Consort, how about you wait until I finish what I have to say before you complain?" Murong Xiao finished speaking and continued:
"Liuyun brocade is an extremely precious material. There is only one piece in the entire South Vietnam. I heard that a few months ago, my father gave it to General Chai, and General Chai gave it to Princess Li..."
"Your Majesty, I did take the Liuyun brocade that you gave me. But a few days ago, after we heard that the crown prince was assassinated on his wedding night, we went to check out the Liuyun brocade in the warehouse. The material... the material... I don't know who cut off a piece of it." Princess Li explained with a panic look on her face.
"Father, this incident must have been framed. Furthermore, the assassin is dead, and the Crown Princess didn't report it before. There's no evidence. If you tell me about it now, wouldn't that be framing me?"
"False accusation?" Murong Xiao asked back, "My Lady Consort, Your Highness Prince Li, you can even frame and doubt my elder brother and the Empress just because they look alike. Then why can't we use Liu Yunjin to accuse you?
You must know that Liuyunjin is the exclusive property of your Prince Li's Mansion. If you claim you didn't send anyone to assassinate the Crown Prince, you must produce evidence. Our Mansion's evidence is Liuyunjin, so what is yours? Unless you produce proof, the Mansion will not let this matter go.
"Father, the Crown Prince was already in good health, but on the day of his wedding, he was attacked by an assassin and his old illness relapsed. You must intervene on his behalf!"
Murong Xiao's purpose was clear. Prince Li's Mansion was causing trouble for the Crown Prince's Mansion, so she was causing trouble for Prince Li's Mansion. She had originally said that the matter would not be reported, but now she was bringing it up again.
Qian Yeyao could target the Queen and Murong Qingyun, but he could never target Qian Yeming. He could suspect Murong Qingyun of being the Queen's illegitimate child, but he could never slander the purity of Qian Yeming's bloodline.
Murong Xiao is not the kind of person who will not let go even if she is right. She just wants to avenge her grudge double!
If he slandered Qian Yeming, he would not only receive the punishment he deserved, but also have to endure her counterattack. Even if he didn't die, he would definitely be skinned alive!
Looking at Murong Xiao's face, Qian Yeyao really hated women's inconsistency.
"Your Majesty, I have always felt that your attitude towards the Crown Prince was not good enough. I thought you wanted to cultivate him more, so you treated him so harshly. Today I learned that Your Majesty has always suspected that the Crown Prince is not your biological son.
However, since the blood test has been done today to confirm the relationship, the prince is the real crown prince.
