Chapter 42: The Turning Point of Regeneration
Meng Xia looked at everyone's different expressions and smiled slightly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After a while, she said calmly: "Father, since they all said that they saw me stabbing the Fifth Emperor Sister with a dagger, Ah Xia asked them whether I was holding the dagger in my left hand or the dagger in my right hand. ”
The question couldn't be simpler, but it suddenly made Emperor Meng Zhao understand Meng Xia's intentions.
However, as soon as these words came out, Liu Guifei couldn't help but protest directly: "Your Majesty, the question of the Ninth Princess itself is problematic, in that case, it is normal for some palace people to not pay attention or remember whether it is the left hand or the right hand." ”
"Sister Liu, this answer has not been announced, why are you in such a hurry to deny Axia?" Ning Guifei unhurriedly questioned Liu's nervousness and anxiety.
Silence does not mean that you stay out of the matter, the Ning family has long been secretly facing the Liu family, how can it be possible to let it effectively intervene.
She didn't say much on the side, anyway, this remark was enough to point out Liu's weakness.
Sure enough, hearing Ning Guifei's words, Emperor Meng Zhao immediately waved his hand at the Liu family and said, "I will consider this, you don't have to interfere." ”
"Yes!"
Seeing that the Son of Heaven was displeased, Liu Guifei didn't dare to say anything, so she could only continue to pay attention nervously.
Soon, Emperor Meng Zhao motioned to those palace people to announce the answers of several witnesses in public.
However, unexpectedly, the answers of several witnesses were surprisingly consistent.
These people all pointed out that the ninth princess was holding a dagger in her right hand and wanted to stab the fifth princess, and there was no discrepancy or difference.
At this moment, Liu's mother and daughter always breathed a sigh of relief and turned to joy, but Ning Guifei couldn't help but look at Meng Xia and became a little worried.
"Asha, all the witnesses have the same answers, there is no difference, it doesn't look like there is any problem."
After a while, Emperor Meng Zhao looked at Meng Xia rather puzzled and asked, "Do you have anything that needs to be explained?" ”
Such a result obviously shouldn't be what Meng Xia was hoping for, but what was even more unexpected was that Meng Xia's expression didn't seem to be too worried.
After hearing Emperor Meng Zhao's inquiry, she said unhurriedly: "Father, this has proven that their testimony is not credible. ”
"What do you mean? Why can't my father understand? Emperor Meng Zhao asked suspiciously.
For a while, he really couldn't keep up with Meng Xia's thinking, obviously the testimony of several palace people was all the same, but how could Ah Xia say that their testimony was not credible?
Not only Emperor Meng Zhao, but no one here could understand it, especially Liu Guifei's mother and daughter, who sneered disdainfully, only thinking that Meng Zi wanted to mess around and use strong words.
But soon, Meng Xia spoke up again: "Father Qi, the testimony of these people mentioned one thing before, Ah Xia suddenly took out the dagger when everyone was surprised, and wanted to hurt the Fifth Emperor Sister, right?" ”
"That's right, that's what they said." Emperor Meng Zhao nodded, not denying it.
"That's right, since the situation was so sudden, and so thrilling, as they said, how could it be that everyone was so powerful, that they could even see clearly which hand I was holding at that time, and remember it clearly, and there was no blur or discrepancy in the confession?"
Meng Xia questioned in public: "Under normal circumstances, when such a thrilling emergency happens, it is difficult for normal people's thinking to react, plus each of them was in a different position at that time, how could it be possible to remember exactly the same details as which hand I used to hold the dagger?" In particular, the palace maid of the Huanyi Bureau, according to what she said, was still standing in the wind and rain quite far away from the pavilion at that time, and a normal person could really do what she said in that situation through the wind and rain? ”
At this point, Emperor Meng Zhao had already understood, and couldn't help but nod his head in agreement.
And Meng Xia did not pause, and continued to state and summarize word by word: "Such a neat answer, if the caliber is not unified in advance, it is a judgment made according to common sense, because under normal circumstances, the vast majority of people hold a knife with their right hand. If this were the case, it would never be possible for people in different locations to see the same in detail. Therefore, Ah Xia expressed serious doubts about the so-called testimony of these witnesses, and asked his father to know it! ”
Her words were logical, reasonable, and most importantly, did make the testimony of the witnesses seem very unreasonable.
And just when Emperor Meng Zhao nodded solemnly again, the fifth princess Meng Jin was the first to argue: "Joke, there are so many coincidences in this world, how can you conclude that it is impossible for them to see a sudden detail at the same time?" ”
Although Meng Jin's words are very strong, it has to be said that there is indeed an extremely rare possibility.
Yes, Emperor Meng Zhao's words that had originally come to his lips were temporarily swallowed again.
Rationally, he has been biased towards Meng Xia, but after all, the two of them are his own princesses, no matter which side he stands on, he must have full evidence, otherwise he will not be able to accept the truth emotionally.
In short, today's events are either that daughter harms that daughter, or that daughter frames this daughter, which is all ugly, and it makes Emperor Meng Zhao unhappy.
"I have nothing to say if the Fifth Emperor Sister insists on being so strong, but even so, I have other ways to prove my innocence!"
Meng Xia said, directly showed the teapot in his hand, and no longer deliberately covered it with his sleeves: "Originally, I didn't want to pursue anything too much, but the Fifth Emperor Sister is so aggressive, if you don't figure things out thoroughly, I'm afraid the consequences are unimaginable!" ”
Seeing the teapot in Meng Xia's hand, Meng Jin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "You actually took that pot of tea away......
"Sister Wuhuang is right, I also fled in a panic only to find that I was still holding on to the pot of tea that you were going to forcibly pour in my hand!"
Meng Xia took over: "It's rare that the Fifth Emperor Sister didn't intend to deny this pot of tea. Originally, I just wanted to find someone privately to check if there was anything wrong with this tea, but I was always afraid that I would think about you badly. Originally, I really didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but now I don't need to worry about that. ”
After that, Meng Xia directly begged Emperor Meng Zhao: "Ah Xia implores his father to find the imperial doctor in public to check whether there is a problem with this pot of tea!" ”
Looking at the teapot, Emperor Meng Zhao nodded thoughtfully: "I see, no wonder you keep carrying this thing." ”
He felt strange before, and he didn't know why Meng Xia was hurrying to find Meng Lang with a teapot.
It's just that at that time, seeing that this girl didn't seem to be willing to take the initiative to mention it, she didn't ask much.
Now before and after contact, I can see the truth of the matter more and more clearly.
Meng Jin was anxious when he saw this, and immediately grabbed the words and said: "Father, don't believe her words, after this, who knows if the tea in this pot of tea has been changed by her, or has she done anything?" ”
Meng Jin was not stupid, and his reaction was even faster in a hurry, and he immediately pointed out a big loophole in what Meng Xia said.
Even if she admits that the teapot is the same as before, who can prove that the tea there is still the same as before?
