The Evil Emperor's Favorite: Princess, don't run away

Chapter 23
"...Old Hou, can we stop arguing for now, this matter is related to my life." Seeing that Master Hou has been arguing with him, he is anxious.

snort!
Master Hou snorted heavily, and it was rare for him to stop arguing with him.After thinking for a while, he said, "Bring your eldest lady over here!"

"Since you don't know, and the matter was arranged by the eldest lady, she knows best."

"Impossible, she is the most virtuous and kind, absolutely impossible!"

"Hey, old ghost, why are you so excited, I just asked her to come over to ask questions, and I won't eat her." After speaking, Lord Hou signaled, and the guards left immediately.

Lord Hou rolled his eyes at Tang Li, walked up to Situ Jue and Tang Qianqian, and said, "I wonder if His Highness the First Prince is willing to wait? Or..." He glanced at Tang Qianqian, and wanted to say something more, so he asked Situ Jue was interrupted.

"No need, Mr. Hou just keep busy, let's just watch."

Master Hou raised his eyebrows, this eldest prince is a man of talent, and he is like a tree facing the wind.Although he only heard a few words from him, he was more stable and calm than the prince. I really don't know why the world passed on him as being so unbearable.

This kind of aura is comparable to that of a real dragon emperor, how could he be a masculine prince who spends his days and nights?
He touched his chin, and glanced at him meaningfully!
Not long after, the guards who had just left brought back news from the palace: the coffin should be opened for an autopsy first, and the matter of the coffin should be dealt with after returning to the palace.

With the support of the emperor, Lord Hou didn't waste any more time, and immediately ordered someone to open the coffin for an autopsy.

Zhang Yuzuo is the most famous masterpiece in Hengxing City. Unless the emperor asks, most people invite him, and if he wants to go, he will go, and if he doesn't want to go, he won't go.

After a while, Zhang Yuzuo finished the drug test. In fact, when he finished the drug test, there was no need to continue.

"Master Hou, neither of these two corpses has been poisoned." Zhang Yuzuo reported respectfully.

"Impossible! They are obviously..."

"Master Prime Minister!" Zhang Yuzuo frowned and looked at Tang Li, "Is the Prime Minister doubting my ability? If that's the case, why invite me here?"

Tang Li was at a loss for words. This matter was completely different from what he had predicted, and it was becoming more and more... unfavorable to him.

Tang Qianqian looked at Tang Li with a tangled face, and felt happy in his heart.

Tang Li glanced at Tang Qianqian subconsciously, only to feel that the more she looked, the more she looked like Yun Xi, but their mother and daughter had already been buried in the sea of ​​fire, and it was absolutely impossible for them to come back alive under his nose.

When Tang Qianqian saw Tang Li looking at her, she did not shy away from looking directly at him. After knowing what he was thinking, she sneered in her heart, something unexpected is yet to come!
Here, Zhang Yuzuo inspected the corpse again, and after repeated confirmation, he said to Master Hou, "My lord, I am willing to guarantee with my life that the two bones were not poisoned. According to the age of the bones, the young one is eight years old. Big bones, only 20 years old."

Situ Jue, who had been standing by and watching, looked at Zhang Yuzuo in surprise after hearing Zhang Yuzuo's words.This person's judgment can be accurate down to his age. If such a capable person can be used for his own use...

It's a pity that Zhang Yuzuo is upright and unwilling to get involved in government affairs.A hint of calculation flashed in Situ Jue's eyes, human beings have weaknesses, and he insisted on taking him under his command!

"In that case, carry the coffin to Dali Temple for another trial!" Master Hou waved his hand, and the guards waiting all around started to move.Then, he took a deep look at Tang Qianqian and Situ Jue, wondering what he was thinking.

At this time, the eldest lady just arrived at the top of the mountain, she was full of joy, and wanted to see that beautiful and tragic face now turned into a skeleton.Unexpectedly, after climbing up the mountain, I heard Master Hou said that he would carry the coffin to Dali Temple for interrogation.

Regardless of her image, she ran to Tang Li's side and cast a puzzled look at him. When Tang Li saw him coming, he didn't speak, but shook his head at her.

The tacit understanding of working together for many years has long allowed the couple to understand each other's eyes.It's a pity that the eldest lady was too happy this time, and didn't notice the uneasiness in Tang Li's eyes.

Dali Temple

In the courtroom, a group of people stood in the middle, and two old coffins were placed in the middle of the courtroom, which looked very strange.

Lord Hou simply didn't sit down anymore, because Situ Jue was standing next to Tang Qianqian, so he was too embarrassed to sit down.

"I was ordered by the Holy Majesty to thoroughly investigate whether the third lady of Xiangfu is still alive. Now that I start to ask questions, you must answer according to the facts. If there are lies, it is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!"

The eldest lady was startled, and immediately pursed her lips.No, wait a minute, don't let it slip!Telling this matter is death, and not talking about it is death, it is better to gamble.

She looked in Tang Li's direction, but Tang Li looked in her direction, and the two exchanged a look that they could only understand each other.

"Since everyone has no objections, then, Mr. Tang, let's start with you." Lord Hou walked in front of Tang Li, "Mr. Tang, why did the third lady of the family die that year?"

"He died of illness." Tang Li replied respectfully.

"Why do you think Miss San is poisonous?"

"Master Hou, hasn't Zhang Yuzuo already determined that there is no poisoning on the bones?"

Seeing that Tang Li's attitude began to change, Master Hou's face darkened, and he did not back down at all, "Why were you so sure that Mrs. Lu died of poisoning at the beginning?"

"At the beginning, she committed suicide by taking poison!"

"Zhang Yuzuo, please repeat the results of the autopsy just now in public." Lord Hou stopped talking nonsense to Tang Li, he has already asked what he should ask, and it can be recorded.

"Yes!" Zhang Yuzuo walked to the side of the two coffins, pointed to the bones in the coffin on the left, and said, "This corpse died at the age of eight, and the third lady of the Xiangfu should have been ten years old when she died! Moreover, there is no body on her body. Drugs and poison residues."

He withdrew his hand and pointed to the coffin on the right, "This corpse died at the age of 20. I don't know Mrs. Lu's age, but it is absolutely impossible for a woman under the age of 15 to have children. You can only get married at the age of 16. In addition, no trace of poison has been found on this corpse!" After speaking, Zhang Yuzuo bowed to Mr. Hou with both hands, and stepped aside.

At this moment, the eldest lady was shocked.Judging from the age alone, these two corpses must not be the mother and daughter.Could it be that the mother and daughter are really not dead?

The eldest lady looked at Tang Qianqian subconsciously, but seeing the other party looking at her with a half-smile, she was so frightened that she quickly looked away.

"Crack!" Lord Hou patted the gavel, "I declare that these two bones are not the mother and daughter of the Lu family!"

After speaking, Lord Hou walked up to Situ Jue and Tang Qianqian.

From the beginning to the end, Situ Jue looked at everything in front of him expressionlessly, as if he was not the instigator of this incident.

"Your Highness, how are you sure that the girl next to you is the third lady of Xiangfu?" Although it was a question, the tone was obviously much better than when he was facing Tang Li just now. "
