Chapter 131 Sword Pointing at Xiling
Lin Zhaoyue's pale face still looked somewhat sickly and weak.
She smiled slightly, "Empress Chun, the thief is crying thief. That's not very good."
Concubine Chun closed her eyes and took another deep breath.
"I was the one who secretly sent someone to assassinate Princess Zhaohua."
When confessing her guilt, Concubine Chun's voice also became calmer.
The officials couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"I didn't expect it to be Concubine Chun..."
"I really can't tell. Concubine Chun is usually virtuous and gentle. You wouldn't guess she's someone who would do something so cruel."
"I seem to remember that Concubine Chun was against Prince Lu and the princess being together..."
"Now that you mention it, I remember now. That means Concubine Chun didn't like the princess from the beginning... and has she been pretending all these years?"
"No wonder Concubine Chun deliberately sent Chu Yinyin to annoy the princess at the welcoming banquet after her return to the capital..."
It was something that no one had paid much attention to before.
Now there are traces to follow.
Concubine Chun, who usually seems to be close and friendly to Her Royal Highness the Princess, actually has always disliked Princess Zhaohua.
It even got to the point where he wished she would die.
The emperor looked at her coldly, somewhat incredulously: "It's really you. You actually wanted to kill my most beloved daughter."
It turns out that Zhaoyue already knew it.
Even Xiao Tingye reminded himself.
But I was the only one who didn't notice it.
Concubine Chun just sneered, looked at the emperor sarcastically, and then looked at the two assassins.
"I ordered them to assassinate Princess Zhaohua. I did indeed employ assassins, but they were my former bodyguards. Moreover, they were not assassins sent by me at all, and had nothing to do with me! The Xiling Army is nothing more than someone trying to use this opportunity to frame the Marquis. The assassination of the princess was done by me alone, and neither my brother nor Lu Chenzhou knew anything about it. Is this satisfactory, Princess?"
Lin Zhaoyue looked at her calmly. "Your Majesty, just because you say you don't know anything, does that mean you don't know anything? Just because you say you don't know them, does that mean you don't know them?"
Concubine Chun was startled. "What do you mean?"
Lin Zhaoyue just smiled. "Your Majesty, the witnesses and the evidence are all evidence. They were also captured personally by my subordinates. Could it be that Your Majesty suspects me of fraud? And found two unrelated people to take the blame?"
"I am not the queen, I can't do such a thing." As she said this, she deliberately glanced at Cuiping who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.
The meaning is obvious.
Lin Zhaoyue continued calmly, "I'm afraid Concubine Chun's words were also intended to avoid implicating Xiling. I understand. Don't worry, Concubine Chun, if this matter truly has nothing to do with Xiling, I will never wrongly accuse any good person."
[Honestly, if I had the princess's mental fortitude, I would have run for president long ago.]
[Has no one noticed that the princess's ability to lie with her eyes open is exactly the same as the villain's...?]
[The princess must be planning to target Xiling, which is why she brought the Xiling Army into the picture.]
[Of course, there's someone over there who wants to rebel.]
[I told you long ago that the princess would take this opportunity to make a big move. It seems she is targeting Concubine Chun, but in reality, she wants to target Xiling.]
[Hey? Isn't this a stand-in story? How did I end up on the political conspiracy channel?]
[Don't mention it, Xiling has been training their troops recently, and the male protagonist has been writing letters to Xiling more and more frequently.]
Princess Zhaohua's words naturally made the officials present understand what was going on.
The assassination of the princess might actually have something to do with Xiling.
That's why Concubine Chun tried her best to distance herself from Marquis Xuanping and Xiling, and even refused to acknowledge these two people.
For a moment, everyone thought of the recent divorce of the princess and the court's dissatisfaction with Prince Lu and Xiling.
After all, the Duke of Zhenguo went to the court to criticize the Marquis of Xuanping for his poor parenting, and Lu Chenzhou had offended the emperor.
His Majesty had planned to punish them at that time, but because the envoys from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts were still in the capital and the princess was assassinated, he delayed it.
Thinking about it this way...
Maybe Xiling really wants to murder the princess.
As for whether the princess would lie?
That's obviously not important.
Many people understand one thing when they experience the ups and downs of officialdom.
There is no evidence, that's true.
What's more, it is now a fact that Concubine Chun was the one who secretly assassinated Her Royal Highness the Princess.
At this moment, Concubine Chun felt a chill all over her body.
She stared coldly at Lin Zhaoyue, looking at the face that seemed pale and sick, but actually had eyes as sharp as torches. She had never felt that Lin Zhaoyue was so scary.
It turns out that no matter what she chooses.
She won't let Xiling go!
She dug a hole and waited for herself to jump in.
But when she jumped down, she found that it was clearly a bottomless abyss!
