The judicial officer outside had been notified and rushed in. He lowered his head, not daring to look at the expressions of the people in the room. He knelt cautiously in front of Mu Qianqiu and said, "This old minister is here."
"Well, Mr. Yuan, come and take a look at the scene and see if you can find anything to serve as supporting evidence." Mu Qianqiu said.
Elder Yuan immediately stood up in fear and began to observe the situation carefully. This was a relatively rare and major case he had handled in his career. Of course, it wasn't the severity of the case, but the identities of the people involved, each one a terrifying servant.
So he naturally observed the room carefully and asked, "Did you touch anything in the room? Is this what the crime scene looked like?"
"Yes." Yunze nodded.
Yun Mian also nodded, she didn't think too much about it.
At the same time, the servant next to them repeated the testimonies of Yun Miao and Yun Mian.
Old Yuan then walked up to Yun Miao and checked her clothes.
Finally, he turned to look at Mu Qianqiu with a complicated look and said, "Your Majesty, I have a rough idea of what is going on."
"Oh? Tell me quickly." Mu Qianqiu couldn't wait.
Elder Yuan spoke objectively, "If Imperial Physician Yun was a pervert and had bad intentions towards the princess, there would have been signs of disorder and resistance in the room. But I just checked around, and the furnishings on the table in the room are very tidy, indicating that there was no fierce argument during the process..."
Reminded by Master Yuan's words, everyone looked at the room. Indeed, it was clean and tidy, and did not look like a scene of persecution at all.
Yun Mian was also panicking. She explained, "Because... because Doctor Yun is my brother's best friend, I wasn't on guard. By the time I realized what was happening, I was already... thrown onto the bed..."
As she spoke, she started crying again.
Elder Yuan continued, "Just now, I examined Imperial Physician Yun's clothes and discovered that the oil stains on her clothes were indeed caused by an outsider and were intentional. At this point... Imperial Physician Yun's words are indeed superior to those of the Second Princess."
"Okay, I understand." Mu Qianqiu breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Yun Mian over there: "Do you have any other evidence?"
Yunmian was also dumbfounded. What evidence is needed for this?
She felt that the fact that she was a woman was already a victory. After all, how important was a woman's reputation? How could she do such a thing on her wedding day? Wasn't it suicide?
"Your Majesty, I am the victim! It is impossible for me to use my own reputation to frame Imperial Physician Yun, right? Moreover, the porter was the one I chose because of my preference. How could I possibly like Imperial Physician Yun? Your Highness, please help Mian'er..." Yun Mian cried so sadly that Yun Ze, who was standing by, felt very distressed.
He also knelt and said, "Yes! Your Majesty, my sister would never do such a thing. How important is a woman's reputation? She has no reason to do such a thing!"
"Your Majesty, there is more evidence." Yun Miao suddenly spoke again.
Everyone's eyes shifted to her.
Who knew that the young man would pull open his collar, revealing the deep red on it, and said, "If I really had bad intentions towards Miss Six, where would the kiss mark on my neck come from? I can't have kissed myself, right?"
Everyone looked at the kiss mark on Yun Miao's neck with extremely complicated expressions.
Mu Linyuan's gaze was deep. The boy's neck was white, and the fragrant medicinal scent seemed to still linger in his nostrils. Inexplicably, his body actually had a slight reaction. Damn it!
Mu Yeting's eyes widened: "Awesome! A fatal blow."
Mulansheng looked at the kiss mark on Yun Miao's neck, and his expression darkened uncontrollably. His hands trembled slightly, not knowing whether it was because of anger or something else, but in any case, he couldn't suppress the pain.
At this moment he understood that he must have had feelings for him in the past.
This instinctive reaction cannot deceive myself.
"Bold Yunmian, do you have anything else to say?" Mu Qianqiu was angry. Yun girl was his daughter-in-law. Although Yunmian was a woman, she could not do such a shameless thing.
Yun Mian was also stunned. She hadn't expected Yun Miao to have such a trick. She immediately panicked and said, "The kiss mark on his neck might be from the past. How can this be used as evidence that Mian'er did it?"
"Why don't we ask the imperial physician to take a look and see how long this kiss has been there?" Yun Miao was very confident.
Yuan Lao had already stood up. He said, "This old man can also see."
After all, he had a lot of experience in the superficial forensic work of investigating crimes.
As he said that, he walked in front of Yun Miao and looked at the kiss mark on Yun Miao's neck.
"This kiss mark is indeed bright. Doctor Yun's skin is thin, and there are slight damages and blood clots on the surface. The kiss mark should not have lasted more than half an hour." Old Yuan said.
Yun Mian's eyes widened: "How is that possible?"
"Yun Miao is new to the Second Prince's Mansion. She can't have other old lovers, right? Besides, from the time I left the banquet and had the oil splashed on my body, to the time I walked here, it is impossible that anything happened between me and other people. If something really happened between me and other people, he wouldn't be so desperate as to break into Miss Yun's bridal chamber and do something indecent, right? I value my life in this palace under the watchful eyes of everyone." Yun Miao said calmly.
Yun Miao's words are flawless.
Compared with Yunmian, it is currently more convincing.
"Prime Minister Yun, you've raised such a good daughter!" Meng Yuqin was also furious. She looked at Yun Shengzhi and said, "Our Yuan'er was also chosen by your daughter, and now she has done such a shameless thing. Will our Yuan'er become a laughing stock in the entire capital?"
Yun Shengzhi also knelt down in panic. At this point, he was powerless to argue and could only insist, "Of course, my humble daughter would not do such an outrageous thing. Your Majesty, please be aware that there must be a misunderstanding."
"Could it be that Prime Minister Yun thinks Yun Miao would risk her own life to frame your daughter? So, is innocence more important than life, or is life more important than innocence? It seems there's no comparison!" Yun Miao knew that a woman's reputation in ancient times was as important as her life. Why couldn't Yun Mian do such a thing for the sake of her reputation? She's also afraid of death, isn't she? Both are equally important.
Yun Shengzhi was speechless. He knew from a very early time that he was no match for this eloquent young man.
Yun Mian also grabbed Yun Ze's hand: "Brother, save Mian'er, you know, you saw everything just now."
"Brother naturally believes you, but at this moment, your words cannot serve as evidence." Yunze also felt helpless.
Mu Qianqiu, watching this scene from the other end, said with a hint of anger, "Everyone knows this, but there's no clear evidence to convict. Since the marriage is already finalized and family disgrace shouldn't be aired publicly, I will tell the outside world that this is all a misunderstanding. No one present here should reveal a single word about this matter."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
