Traveling through: I rely on space to raise the sick Wei Wang

Chapter 200 Questions One After Another

"Sister, you are really confused. Although the emperor gave me the head, but if you really like it, I can't bear the pain to part with you. Why do you do that kind of thing!" Fog, the shocked expression on his face could hardly conceal his disappointment with Xu Ruqing.

"That's right. Concubine Shu, do you feel sorry for Concubine Shu by doing this? Concubine Shu treats you like a sister and remembers you for everything. Is this how you repay Your Majesty?" Ouyang Bihua now only needs to catch her. Whenever she had the opportunity, she was eager to ridicule Xu Ruqing, she just wanted her eldest grandson Gongyu to take a good look at it, Xu Ruqing was just a poisonous femme fatale with an empty appearance!

The two of you spoke to each other and imperceptibly confirmed Xu Ruqing's crime. Even if there was no evidence, everyone present would preconceive that Xu Ruqing was the thief. No matter what kind of excuse they made, it would be powerless in front of the truth that everyone believed.

Seeing that Xu Ruqing did not speak, Emperor Yanqian acquiesced that she had admitted it, so he ordered: "Come here, the criminal woman Xu Ruqing stole Concubine Shu's face, according to the laws of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, she will be punished with a beating, and she will be detained for seven days and executed immediately! "

As soon as Emperor Yanqian finished speaking, several criminal soldiers came to the courtyard immediately, and they were about to take Xu Ruqing down and put him in prison.

"Wait a minute!"

The eldest grandson Gongyu couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up and went to protect Xu Ruqing: "Your Majesty, Gongyu believes that the princess will never take the things away. There are many loopholes in this matter, so it is concluded that Princess Wei is a thief. The people are really reckless, it is better to hand it over to the political department of Dali Temple, with their professional ability, I believe the truth will soon come to light."

Emperor Yanqian narrowed his eyes: "Changsun Gongyu, you're saying that I'm not professional enough to handle even such trivial matters well!"

"Gong Yu didn't mean that."

Seeing this, Princess Zhennan had to kneel down to intercede for the eldest grandson Gongyu: "The emperor calms down, the child has no intention of speaking offensively, and please ask the emperor not to care about the child's ignorance."

"I don't care about it, but it's not because of his youth and ignorance, but because of the friendship between King Zhennan and me, step down!"

Princess Zhennan kowtowed to apologize: "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

The eldest grandson Gongyu wanted to say something but was stopped by Zhennan Wangfei: "Mother Concubine..."

"Stop talking nonsense, you can't interfere in this matter, go back with the concubine mother!"

The eldest grandson Gongyu was finally forced to sit back and sit down.

"Your Majesty, the laws of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty clearly stipulate that this crime of theft requires physical evidence. If the Emperor wants to rely on the vague crimes of a few people, I will not accept it!" dodge.

"Concubine Wei, at this time, you should stop being so stubborn and admit your mistake to the emperor and Concubine Shu. Maybe the emperor will be magnanimous and let you go. Otherwise, when the time comes, you will really be sent in, and His Highness Wei Wang will be ashamed." It doesn't look good." Empress Zhao raised a smug smile on her face, and persuaded her "kindly".

"The minister's wife is not wrong, why do you have to admit it?"

Emperor Yanqian took a step closer to her, and fixed his eyes on her calm pupils. The determination in her eyes was exactly the same as that crippled one!
"Okay, since you say you are innocent, then I want to see what evidence you can produce to prove your innocence!"

Xu Ruqing turned her eyes away and landed on Dong Yu who testified against her. "It's the first time for my wife to come to Peach Blossom Garden, and she has to rely on the palace servants to lead the way to change clothes in the waiting area. Obviously, my wife doesn't know anything about the environment here. That face-faced person can talk about big or small, and it's absolutely impossible to hide it on the body. , I can only find a place to hide temporarily, for someone like me who is not familiar with the path, where can I hide?"

"This peach garden is so big, how do I know where you will hide!"

"Didn't Concubine Shu's people already say that they searched the entire Peach Blossom Garden, but they couldn't find the agate head face. The court lady can't even recognize the way to the Peach Blossom Garden, let alone hide the head face in a place that is hundreds of times bigger than here." Not only the imperial palace, but also in terms of time, I don’t have the ability to hide things outside the Taohuayuan so quickly. So there are only two possibilities, either the head is still in the garden, but the palace people are careless and did not find it, or they were caught Others stole it and hid it in other places except Taohuayuan."

Empress Zhao whispered: "If you have accomplices, maybe, if someone cooperates with you internally and externally, it's not impossible for you to send your head out in a short time."

Xu Ruqing turned around and looked at her when she heard the words: "The queen's words are not unreasonable, but don't forget that the process from preparation to stealing is only an hour apart, and it really gives the minister's wife a chance." The person who commits the crime is only half the incense burning time when changing clothes. May I ask how I can accurately find the position of the head and face, avoid the guards to go in and steal it, and hand over the stolen goods to my accomplices without being discovered by the people in the palace? ?”

Empress Zhao was not convinced: "Who knew that you must have committed the crime during that half an incense stick?"

"Before I left the Peach Blossom Garden, my wife was with the Queen and Concubine Shu all the time. Dongyu followed me on the way to other places, and my wife had no chance to steal. Afterwards, Dongyu herself said that returning to the palace is very important. Along the way, many people have seen my wife, and all of them can be my time witnesses. When the queen said this, did she suspect that Dong Yu was telling lies, or did she think that the wife had the ability to clone herself?"

Never try to prove yourself, throwing questions to those who doubt you is the best way to find out the truth.

"This..." Zhao Mingzhu was also stunned, and it really didn't make sense logically.

Concubine Shu heard that there was darkness under her pair of beautiful almond eyes, and she knew that if she got to the bottom of it, the matter would be revealed sooner or later, so she secretly gave Dong Yu a look.

"Damn it slave!" Dong Yu kowtowed.

Emperor Yanqian frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Returning to the emperor, this servant has just listened to Wang Hao's reasoning and argumentation before realizing that there are many loopholes in it, and the previous guesses are not completely rigorous... This servant only looks at the surface and thinks that the princess is innocent, it really deserves death!"

"Then how do you explain what you said you heard Xu Ruqing and her maid say?"

"At that time, there was a lot of wind, maybe the slaves overheard..."

Emperor Yanqian felt like a fool being played by these people! "Come here, this lowly servant girl is telling stories and slandering the princess at will without evidence, and it will be dealt with according to the law!"

Dong Yu didn't resist when she was dragged down. She just hinted at it from the side, and didn't directly say that Xu Ruqing was a thief.

After dealing with Dong Yu, Xu Ruqing faced Emperor Yanqian, his expression was still as calm as water, but his tone was full of sarcasm: "Your Majesty, the only witness witness has been overthrown now, do you still want to put your wife in prison?" ?”
