Chapter 37: Identification by the Court
The eldest uncle was imprisoned.
When she heard that the Cao family in the court was in trouble, she couldn't be calm anymore.
Biting the pressure groove, he ordered the red bean to clean her up, and went to the palace in court clothes.
Although she is a princess, she has never appeared in the previous dynasty because she did not perform the ceremony. Her appearance today made the eyes of the ministers in the court can't help but light up, especially the young talents in the back seat who can't participate in the palace banquet.
Wuguo ignored it, and after Shi Shiran saluted the people sitting on the high seat, he swept his eyes coldly at the few people who were shouting just now.
Suddenly, her red lips hooked slightly, and a lark-like voice sounded in the main hall: "I heard that someone is discussing the matter of Beixue Proton, I wonder if I can listen to it?" β
Gu Ting frowned, obviously dissatisfied with her domineering posture, and even Cheng Yang frowned.
Ying Nanhuang didn't speak, waiting for Lord Cao to speak by himself, with a smile on his eyebrows, looking like he didn't care about himself.
It's just that anyone with a discerning eye knows that Wan Qianyang's sight will put pressure on Lord Cao again.
Cao Sheng wiped his cold sweat and glanced at Wuguo in disdain: "Your Highness, the lower official knows your relationship with His Royal Highness the eldest uncle, but now the evidence is conclusive, and the lower official is just, just wanting to get justice for his daughter." β
"Justice?"
Wuguo smiled: "The case is still to be discussed, but Lord Cao is anxious to convict the eldest uncle?" Is it trying to provoke war between the two countries? β
Cold sweat broke out on Cao Sheng's forehead.
At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly sneered.
Wuguo swept his gaze, but found Qi Shang in the military attachΓ© team, and couldn't help but be surprised in his eyes.
After that incident, I thought that the Qi Chamber of Commerce would be suppressed, but I didn't expect to stand in the court again in such a short time, and I don't even know how much closer it was than before.
He looked at her with an evil smile, and there was a brilliance in his glass-colored eyes: "Xia Guan is curious about all the princesses to discuss, what is to be discussed?" β
Only then did everyone suddenly remember that the evidence in this case was conclusive, as long as Beixue was notified, Ying Nanda could be directly executed, let alone convicted.
Wuguo looked at the wind around her, and the people of the Qi family's faction began to speak to her father because of Qi Shang's words, and he himself looked like he didn't have much to do.
Gu Ting walked out and saluted to the high platform: "The old minister thinks that the prince of Beixue is not the real murderer. β
The official Shangshu glanced at Gu Ting, stiffened his neck and said, "You said no, what is the reason?" β
The old fox turned his head, glanced at him, retracted his gaze, and said unhurriedly, "There is no reason, I just can't get used to you." β
Wuguo twitched the corner of his mouth.
She really didn't expect that this old fox would help her speak, but the reason was that she simply didn't deal with the Qi family......
She coughed lightly twice and saluted to her father: "Father, the son thinks that this case is suspicious and needs to be retried!" β
"Retrial? Judge the! I think you have a cover, princess. β
The official Shangshu said another sentence with a stiff neck.
Wuguo's eyes were cold, and she looked back at the man, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she couldn't understand why such a stupid person appeared in the court.
Sure enough, as soon as the voice fell, Wan Qi Chengyang spoke, and a sentence of "cautious words" directly blocked him from speaking, not to mention that Wan Qianyang's gaze became colder and colder.
He glanced at his lips and whispered, "It was," and then shrank back, not daring to speak again.
Qi Shang raised his eyebrows and smiled as if he had nothing to say: "It is said that the dagger that pierced was personally given by the princess to His Royal Highness the eldest uncle." β
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Everyone looked at her, and their eyes were full of inquiry.
She bit her lower lip and her mouth trembled up and down, smiled bitterly for a long time, and said at the bottom: "It is precisely because I sent it that I said that I am full of suspicions." β
"Because I want the things that Wuguo sends, he will never use them."
He had given her the dagger for days, but he had never seen him use it, only occasionally as a last resort, and he had drawn only the inferior soft sword, and had never touched her things.
She turned her head and looked at Qi Shang with a smile on her face: "It was the Cao family who died, Lord Qi was so openly protecting each other, did he want to form a gang in the main hall?" β
The Qi family frowned, and finally retreated in disdain.
Although everyone has done the thing of forming gangs and factions in private, no one dares to put it on the surface.
Qi Shang pursed his mouth and returned to his position pretending to be fine, but Wuguo saw the smile on his face, but there was a chill in his heart.
The eldest uncle was brought in, still dressed in a white robe, and he was cold and unique in the house.
He saluted to Emperor Yingnan, and made Wuguo smile in a trance, it turned out that they said that her little proton was also extremely noble in the court, which was true.
The two glanced at each other, and the eldest uncle quickly retracted his gaze, looked at Emperor Ying Nan and said, "The eldest uncle was invited to the apse by a palace maid in the palace that day. As for the dagger, someone had come in the name of Her Royal Highness the Princess before. β
Everyone was silent, and finally the ancient court came out, nodded at the eldest uncle and asked, "The palace maid that His Highness said, I don't know if His Highness can still remember?" β
"Yes."
"That's going to be easy." Gu Ting turned around: "The old minister asks Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the harem and rectify the harem in this way, so that some people's hands will not stretch out everywhere." β
Father Qi swallowed the old blood, he has been an official for many years, and he naturally knows what the ancient court is referring to.
Now in order to prove himself, he also had to grit his teeth and come out in agreement with his words.
Thus, a thorough investigation began.
Concubine Qi and the four concubines brought all the palace maids in the harem, of course, including the show girls who had never slept in the harem.
Wan Qiyang looked at Song Niangniang, who was led by the show girl, and couldn't help but have her eyes lit up.
Song Yang noticed it, and hurriedly walked to Wuguo's side, pulled her and said, waiting for the eldest uncle to identify them one by one.
Wuguo didn't notice it, just looked at Changbo, seeing that his gaze was getting more and more solemn, and his palms couldn't help but start sweating.
Until the last person, the eldest uncle turned his head to salute the people in the high hall, and a deep voice sounded in the main hall: "Your Majesty, that palace maid...... Absence. β
Wuguo took half a step back, clasped his hand tightly with Song Yang, but his eyes crossed the eldest uncle and stared at Qi Shang.
The eldest uncle was convicted, and the one who received the most was obviously the Qi family, thinking of his actions in Fuzhou, it was obvious that some people were displeased.
She set her eyes on the eldest uncle, and her eyes became more and more determined.
Her people, she must protect them.
