Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 356 Sin

Hua Yingchu did not say anything wrong with Li Chengyu, but her position was so obvious that Zique was not a fool!
"Your Majesty!" Imperial Concubine Dong looked nervously at Emperor Ming, "Cheng Yu was wronged! Your Majesty, you have to trust Cheng Yu!"

The Queen said: "Your Majesty, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, and Cheng Yu is the murderer who killed the second prince! The murder of the emperor's heir must not be tolerated, otherwise the people in the harem will be lucky and follow suit. Wouldn't the royal family want to die!"

"Hua Yingchu hasn't finished the trial yet, what are you arguing about!" Emperor Ming said coldly.

Yingchu continued to ask Zi Que: "Aside from the jade pendant, what else do you have to prove that the eldest prince is the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Zique shook her head and said: "No, every time His Highness sends a message to the servants, the servants rarely see His Highness, and they don't have any tokens."

This is also the reason why Li Chengyu is confident. Zique has no evidence and empty words, so he can deny it.

The only flaw is the jade pendant. It is inconvenient for others to know where he lost the jade pendant, so he pretended it never happened. Li Chengyu didn't expect the jade pendant to end up in the Star Palace. Obviously, Hua Yingchu had been eyeing him a long time ago.

Bai Ling suddenly said: "Your Majesty, this servant once saw Zique secretly wearing a gorgeous dress in the house. She said that it was given to her by the empress when she was happy. The servant can't ask the empress to verify it, but I always feel very sad. It's suspicious, the empress doesn't pay much attention to dressing, so it's unlikely to have that kind of gorgeous skirt."

Zique turned her head to look at Bai Ling, there was no such thing at all, when did she have such a gorgeous dress?
Before she had time to deny it, Yingchu said, "Go and search Zique's room."

Zique's mouth moved, but she didn't dare to make a sound. She still counted on Hua Yingchu's ointment, and she didn't dare to disobey her intentions.

The palace man responded and left, and soon came back with a blue skirt, which was neatly folded, but it was still gorgeous, which was definitely not something a court lady could have.

"Damn the slave," said the searched palace man, "This skirt is piled up with some old clothes, and the slave didn't find it before."

This skirt is very conspicuous. I didn't see it at all when I checked it before, but it was easy to find it this time.This is the Xingchen Palace. It is easy for Miaoyi Junjun to stuff a piece of clothing into a palace lady's room.But even if he knew it in his heart, he could only act as if he didn't know anything.

Yingchu took the skirt in his hand and said: "Excellent hang brocade fabric, high-quality gold thread, such a light and fluffy skirt should be worth thousands of taels."

"You said it was Hang Jin?" the queen said, "show me the skirt!"

Yingchu sent the skirt over, the queen looked at it carefully, and said: "That's right, this is the top-quality Hangjin that Hangzhou paid tribute to a while ago, and I personally distributed it to each palace because it was very precious. There was a dispute over a piece of cloth, so I remember it very clearly."

The queen looked at Concubine Dong: "I remember that the blue Hang Jin was taken by the imperial concubine at that time, saying that it was to make clothes for Cheng Yu, and I didn't even want to keep one. Can the imperial concubine explain it to you?" , what's the matter with this dress?"

Concubine Dong's eyes turned black. The fabric of this skirt is indeed the blue Hangjin she got. As soon as she got it, she ordered someone to send it to the clothing bureau to make two sets of outer shirts for Cheng Yu. The material should be used up. , how could there be any leftovers, and it was actually made into a skirt!
Yingchu sneered, and said: "The eldest prince is still young, but he will cherish the fragrance and cherish the jade. Such a fine brocade, even if he doesn't use it himself, he is willing to make it into a skirt and give it to Zique."

Li Chengyu's fingers twitched, Hua Yingchu was really calculating!Before they plotted against Xingxing Palace, she had already prepared a trap to murder them!
Li Chengyu hardly dared to look up at his father's expression, "Father, I have been wronged! If I really want to buy Zique, how can there be something that everyone knows? Isn't this just giving someone a handle! Obviously Someone framed my son, my son was wronged!"

"Maybe then," said the queen, "maybe you don't know the special nature of this material at all, so you can reward people casually. This brocade is only owned by the imperial concubine, your mother and your son. Even if others want to frame it, there is nothing they can do. Cheng Yu , you should admit it honestly, if you continue to quibble, the emperor will only get angrier."

"How can I let my son admit what I haven't done!" Li Chengyu said, "Father, please trust me! My son is really innocent!"

Emperor Ming's face sank like water: "Jade pendant, Hang Jin, both are impossible for others to get, and who can hand them over to Zique except yourself! I want to believe you, but what you did, I am so disappointed!"

"Father!" Li Chengyu exclaimed.

"Your Majesty!" Imperial Concubine Dong's expression changed drastically.

"The eldest son of the emperor, Li Chengyu, murdered the second prince. The evidence of his crime is undeniable and unforgivable!" Emperor Ming said coldly and ruthlessly, "Immediately demote him to a commoner, put him in the prison, and wait to be punished!"

"Father, please forgive me!" Li Chengyu's expression changed completely, "My son was wronged! I beseech my father to learn from me, my son did not poison my younger brother, please be merciful to me!"

"Your Majesty, don't listen to villains' instigation. Cheng Yu was framed!" Dong Huangguifei shouted, "I beg your Majesty to review it again. There are many suspicious points in this case. Cheng Yu is definitely not the murderer!"

Emperor Ming didn't listen to their pleading at all, and said sharply: "Detain Li Chengyu!"

Two guards rushed in immediately, held up Li Chengyu, and wanted to escort him out.

"Cheng Yu! Cheng Yu!" Imperial Concubine Dong stopped the guards, "Stop, don't take Cheng Yu away!"

"Imperial Concubine, do you want to disobey the imperial decree?" The Queen's eyes were filled with pride, "If you dare to stop me again, you will be an accomplice and share the same crime!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Concubine Dong Huanggui knelt on the ground with a thud, begging with sobs, "Please spare Cheng Yu, please forgive me!"

Emperor Ming's expression was indifferent, unmoved at all.

"Quickly pull the imperial concubine away!" The queen ordered, seeing the distressed and distressed concubine Dong, her whole body was at ease. Dong's most precious prince, losing Li Chengyu, caused her more pain than cutting her into pieces .

Concubine Dong looked at Emperor Ming, her eyes gradually changed from hope to despair, Cheng Yu is the only prince of the emperor, why is the emperor so cruel!Because of Hua Yingchu's sweet words, Cheng Yu was abolished!

She gritted her teeth fiercely, took two steps forward on her knees, and said loudly: "Your Majesty! Everything was done by my concubine and has nothing to do with Cheng Yu! The second prince was poisoned to death by my concubine, and Cheng Yu didn't know it from the beginning to the end. Love, the emperor punishes his concubine if he wants to punish him, let Cheng Yu be spared!"

The queen said: "Imperial Concubine, I know that you are eager to protect your son, but you can't take the blame for Cheng Yu, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

She hated Dong to the bone, but she wanted Li Chengyu to die even more. If he died, no one would be able to compete with her future prince for the position of crown prince, and Dong would suffer day and night, which would relieve her hatred more than killing her.
