The eldest princess made up her mind, straightened her waist and said: "You are trying to exonerate yourself, so you want to buckle the basin on the head of my princess's mansion, why do you say that the horse is poisoned by croton?"

The emperor looked at Lin Xiaojue. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lin Xiaojue didn't want to guess whether the emperor wanted her to tell the truth or not.

She's going to get out anyway.

She arched her hand and said: "Father, this matter is actually very simple, I didn't expect it before, just two days ago, I was drying medicinal materials in the hospital, and an adult passed by and thought it was a pine nut kernel, so he gave it to his daughter, and then the child began to have diarrhea, fortunately, it was treated early, otherwise I don't know what it would be." Since the eldest princess doesn't know about it, but I'm sure that the horse was poisoned by croton and died, and the princess can interrogate the people of the princess's mansion, and the first instance will know, they really don't admit it, you can let them eat a croton, and see that the symptoms are different from the horse. ”

Only then did the eldest princess know that Lin Xiaojue was completely sure.

She didn't believe it, and the woman didn't say until today that she had dug a pit and was waiting for her to pick it.

She shook her head desperately and shouted, "What kind of thing are you, how can the people in my house say that they will be interrogated if they are interrogated?"

The emperor had already seen the panic of the eldest princess and confirmed that the death of the colt was directly related to her.

He said: "There are people from her house outside, ask someone to come in, try a croton, and you will know if you try it." ”

When Lin Xiaojue heard this, the emperor just wanted to know the truth, and he didn't mean to defend the eldest princess, so he was at ease and lowered his head, and the rest had nothing to do with him.

After a while, the emperor asked Da Liu's father-in-law to bring people in.

Da Liu Gonggong brought in the empty cicada and the two maids of the eldest princess.

As soon as they came in, the emperor wanted to let the three of them eat croton.

The empty cicada immediately understood what was happening, and she looked at the eldest princess in horror: "Princess, help." ”

The eldest princess didn't dare to speak out, so she could only ask for help from the concubine: "Niangniang, my father doesn't trust his sons, and crotons will die if they eat them." ”

Who said that croton kills people if you eat it?

Lin Xiaojue said: "Croton may not necessarily die if you eat it, eldest princess, are you so sure, is it because you have killed people with croton? I'm not sure that Croton will definitely die if you eat it." ”

The eldest princess was poked in the shadows by her, and glared at her with red eyes: "You slut, you know how to slander me." ”

The emperor said angrily: "Okay, shut up." ”

Lin Xiaojue and the eldest princess both lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.

The concubine endured it, and finally didn't dare to act again.

The emperor looked at the kneeling empty cicada and the others: "What do you know about the death of the horse? ”

Jinyiwei is a place where people don't spit out bones, even if the first-class master listens to it, his face will change.

The other two maids were a little overwhelmed when they heard that they were going to eat croton.

There was one lying on the ground, like a sifting chaff: "The slave doesn't know anything, the slave doesn't know anything, the eldest princess only discusses with Sister Empty Cicada if she has something." ”

The other was afraid that he would be punished by the emperor if he confessed late, and said, "The slave knows one thing, on the day the horse died, it was the meal that Sister Kongcia brought him, saying that the eldest princess made it herself. ”

Celestia jumped up and wanted to hit her: "This." ”

The emperor was furious: "Kneel." ”

The eldest princess turned pale and fell to her knees crying.

The emperor was so angry that no one dared to make a sound, and there was no movement except for the cry of the eldest princess on the ground.

The emperor didn't even look at the eldest princess, and stared at the empty cicada with a black face: "Who are you?"

Although the empty cicada was bold, it had never been examined like this by the Ninety-Five Emperor, and the emperor's eyes were like lightning, making her whole body tremble.

"Slave, slave, empty...... Empty cicadas. ”

The emperor said: "You are the empty cicada?"

Then he said to Da Liu Gonggong: "Give her croton." ”

Da Liu's father-in-law said yes.

The empty cicada's frightened head was empty, and she slammed the emperor and kowtowed: "Shengshang, I said, I said that the horse was poisoned by croton, don't let the slave eat the croton, the slave doesn't eat it." ”

It was because she knew what the consequences of eating croton would be, so she didn't dare to eat it.

Lin Xiaojue felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't dare to eat it, why should he let others eat it?

The emperor said loudly: "Did you poison the horse?"

The empty cicada has been recruited before, how to deny it at this time?

She wept bitterly and said, "It's a slave and a maid who poisoned the horse." ”

Princess Celestia looked at her with a blank look in her eyes.

The concubine was stunned in place, she really couldn't accept this news, if the horse was poisoned by someone, then how could she make trouble with Lin Xiaojue?

The emperor asked again, "Who instructed you?"

Princess Celestia looked at the cicada very nervously and gave the cicada a warning look.

The empty cicada didn't look at her, but fell to the ground and said, "No one instructed the slave and maid, it was the slave and the maid who were obsessed with her own ghost and killed the donkey." ”

Lin Xiaojue snorted in his heart, and wanted to bear the sin himself......

The eldest princess was obviously relieved to see that the empty cicada was so loyal, and looked at the empty cicada again, thinking to herself, your family will take care of it for you.

The emperor has already suspected the eldest princess, how can he believe the words of the empty cicada?

But if the interrogation continues, this daughter of his will inevitably disgrace herself.

He asked people to pull the empty cicada down: "Give it to Dali Temple for a good trial, don't wronged others." ”

Someone else is Lin Xiaojue, and a public trial of the empty cicada can clear Lin Xiaojue's charges.

It seems to be a happy outcome.

But the emperor was not happy at all, he looked at the concubine: "Niangniang, the matter has come to light, do you still have to be embarrassed for Yong'an?"

The concubine thought to herself, am I blind? Am I deaf?

Can't I hear who's right and who's wrong?

But the emperor still had to ask this, obviously to embarrass her and make her know her mistake.

She shook her hands and said, "Okay, good." "I called three times in a row, and then I didn't call the eldest princess, and walked away.

The eldest princess was afraid that the emperor would ask again, so she didn't explain to the emperor, so she stood up and went to chase the concubine.

The emperor did not embarrass them.

Lin Xiaojue saw the two of them walking out of the hall gate quickly, and a subtle smile surged on the corner of his mouth.

The matter is finally settled.

The emperor turned his head to look at Lin Xiaojue: "I wronged you this time, by the way, what happened to you entering the palace?"

Lin Xiaojue's tears suddenly welled up, and he took out a letter from his sleeve: "Father, Erchen doesn't want to hide it from you, but Erchen really likes Lan Junyuan, it's not easy for us to be in love, I don't know what the eldest princess means, you see." ”

The emperor was a little inexplicable, after reading the letter, his face fell a little bit, and his slender eyes were dyed with anger, increasing little by little, like the sky before the storm, the wind and clouds would change, from bright to dark.

"It's really shameless, how can it be justified. He shouted the name of Da Liu's father-in-law: "Go, the eldest princess will take me back, I don't have her daughter." ”
