Chapter 633 I suspect you are an accomplice
"Your Majesty, I plead not guilty to the charge of murder." Lu Xiang frowned slightly and said in a cold voice.
It turned out that he was waiting for her here.
Zheng Wenshuang killed Yu Tong and deliberately framed her. Was this a sudden decision or a later move? The Queen Mother even assisted her.
But no matter what, whether it was letting Yu Tong deliberately provoke him so as to create a scene of her accidentally falling into the water and confirming his vicious reputation, or taking Yu Tong's life directly after failing the first time, it was all aimed at her.
The Queen Mother sneered, "Yu Tong entered the palace for the first time and had no grudges with anyone. But not long ago, you had arguments with her again and again, and she almost pushed you into the lake. You held a grudge against her, so you brutally killed her."
Some people listened to the Queen Mother's words and nodded subconsciously in agreement.
Among all these people, the one with the strongest motive to kill is indeed Lu Xiang.
"Empress Dowager, Lu Xiang has never left the Imperial Garden and there is no way he could have killed Miss Yu." Facing the pressure from the Empress Dowager, He Zhiyan was so nervous that her nails were about to dig into her flesh. Her lips trembled as she defended her.
However, as soon as she finished her words, the Queen Mother's cold gaze shot towards her, like a biting cold wind, making her shiver.
"Didn't leave? Who can prove it, you?"
He Zhiyan nodded weakly.
The Queen Mother sneered: "You have been with Lu Xiang all this time, and I have never suspected that you are an accomplice."
When the wife of Marquis Wu'an heard the Queen Mother's words behind others' back, her legs went weak and she almost fainted from fright.
She clung tightly to He Zhimin beside her and glared at He Zhiyan with flaming eyes.
This bitch who is incapable of doing anything but always causing trouble, instead of being in a hurry to cut off her relationship with Lu Xiang, she actually helps her. If she wants to die, don't drag the entire Wu'an Marquis Mansion with her.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an was so anxious that sweat covered her forehead. She wanted to say something to ask the empress dowager not to vent her anger on their mansion, but she was afraid of the empress dowager's majesty and ultimately did not dare to say a word at this critical juncture for fear of being targeted.
After a pause, the Queen Mother continued, "If Lu Xiang really wants to kill Yu Tong, why does she need to do it herself? The Queen treats her like her own daughter. She only needs to say a word and someone will do it for her."
"The Empress Dowager wants to pin this unfounded crime on me, but I will never obey her even if I die. The Empress did not help me to murder others. I demand to confront the Empress and the palace maids." Lu Xiang said, looking at the Empress Dowager coldly.
Things had come to this point, and it was useless for her to flatter the Queen Mother.
However, since the Queen Mother has poured the basin of dirty water on her, it will be useless even if she tries her best to persuade her. She must first think of a way to prevent the Queen Mother from holding her back, otherwise she will not be able to save the Queen, and she will not be able to escape this trap.
"Are you confronting or silencing her?" The Queen Mother squinted at her, watching Lu Xiang's desperate struggle with great interest. "I advise you to tell the truth. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because the Queen is backing you up. As the head of the six palaces, the Queen should set an example. You are not worthy of being the Queen if you take human life so lightly."
Lu Xiang gritted her teeth, unwillingly but helplessly resigned herself to her fate and said, "Even if the Queen Mother wants to punish me, there should be witnesses and physical evidence. It is really unfair to judge that I killed someone just because I had a feud with Miss Yu. I request the Ministry of Justice to conduct a thorough investigation and clear me and the Queen's name. Even if I die, I will accept it with all my heart."
To put it bluntly, produce witnesses and evidence.
