Chapter 757: Revealing the Truth
Hearing what Concubine Yu said, Li Yuyan couldn't help but shake her head.
This is the critical time to bring Baili Wenyi and the concubine to justice, and she really has no time to defend her relationship with Xiaoshan.
Li Yuyan moved his gaze back to the concubine's face, and his expression was heavy: "Do you want to guess what we found in the foundation of the prince's house?"
The concubine was shocked when she heard this, and then thought about it, those people had been dead for too long, and she didn't think that the little girl in front of her could find out anything, so she said sharply: "If you want to say it, just say that although this palace has been beaten into the cold palace, the emperor has not condemned the crime, can you, a person from a neighboring country, still be able to break the royal lawsuit in Nandian?"
"Your Majesty, my lords, since yesterday afternoon, I have been exploring the prince's palace with the prince of your country."
Li Yuyan turned around, shook at Baili Shuo, and immediately clasped his fists and looked around.
"The prince's house has been abandoned for many years, in addition to the dilapidated houses, due to the southerly geographical location of Nandian, the house furniture has a musty smell, and there are two suspicious points next to it, one is that the vegetation in the prince's house is too robust, and the other is the most important thing, there is a faint smell of corpses in the prince's house."
As soon as these words came out, many ministers wondered: "The smell of corpses? What is the reason?"
Baili Zheng said: "Smelling such a peculiar smell, I immediately dug three feet into the ground for the prince, and there was indeed a lot of discovery."
A minister came out and said, "Prince Zhengrong, Lord Tiansheng, please speak up!"
"Human bones were found in the foundations of the Prince's houses, in the open grounds, and under the flower beds, and to my surprise most of the flesh was not rotten, and the clothes they wore were not rotten at all. It is precisely because there are so many corpses buried under the prince's house that the vegetation on the ground grows unusually vigorously." Li Yuyan said in a deep voice and asked, "Where do you guess these people are from?"
Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.
Li Yuyan said solemnly: "During this period of time, I asked the elderly eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, although they didn't know the truth about the princes' premature deaths, but they mentioned that not only the princes died young, but many eunuchs and palace maids disappeared inexplicably before this. Now that I think about it, those people are not missing, but have been poisoned by the concubine, and they are wearing the clothes of palace maids and eunuchs."
"Nonsense!" The concubine said fiercely, "What evidence do you have that I poisoned those people? Even if they are poisoned, what does it have to do with burying them under the prince's body and the prince's untimely death?"
Li Yuyan's eyes glowed with coldness, and his voice was solemn: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly." There are flavors in the world that have the greatest toxicity after they interact with the human body, and not only that, but the toxicity lasts for decades. And this poison has a certain antiseptic effect, which can keep the body indestructible for a long time. The poison is relatively harmless to adults, but it is quite harmful to young children."
She paced in the hall, slowly exposing the concubine's conspiracy one by one-
"Eighteen years ago, the concubine gave birth to Baili Wenyi, but due to her body damage, she will not be able to get pregnant again in the future. From then on, she plotted to let Nandian's throne fall to her daughter. This may explain why Baili Wenyi has quite an opinion on the cultural and military strategies and national policy governance, and that is because the noble concubine cultivated her as the heir to the Nandian throne."
"At that time, the emperor of Nandian already had several princes, and the concubine once suggested learning from Tiansheng's appearance and building a prince's house in the palace, so that the princes who had reached the age of enlightenment could move in, so as to cultivate the future heirs of Nandian."
"In the early stage of construction, the concubine poisoned many palace maids and eunuchs, using their bodies as containers for poison, and buried their bodies in the underground of the prince's house during the construction of the prince's house."
"Since then, all the princes who have lived in the prince's house have died one after another, and this is the reason!"
"The toxins produced by the corpse as a poison container have poisoned the young prince for many years, and there is no clue in the princes for such poisoning, which is the genius of the concubine."
"That kind of container can play a role under the prince's house for a long time, even if the emperor of Nandian gives birth to more children, once he stays in this prince's house, the consequences will be the same."
Speaking of this, Li Yuyan turned around abruptly and glared at the concubine: "As for the evidence, the most direct thing is that this flavor poison was found in the concubine's palace."
At this time, Baili Zhengrong ordered the imperial doctor to step forward.
The imperial physician took a bottle of medicine and bowed
The body said: "Your Majesty, this medicine was indeed found in the palace of the concubine, and its toxicity is the same as that described by the county lord of Tiansheng. The ministers also found this poison on those corpses."
Bai Lishuo shouted bitterly, "What else does the poisonous woman have to say?"
Baili Wenyi kowtowed again and again: "Father, mother, she doesn't even dare to step on an ant to death on weekdays, how can she poison so many eunuchs and palace maids to harm the princes?" Please find out clearly, there must be a conspiracy in the matter!"
The concubine knew that her general trend was gone, she straightened up and scolded Baili Wenyi: "It's all you, if you were born to be a leader, how can I do these things with all my heart!"
Baili Wenyi was shocked that the mother concubine who cared for her in every way disliked that she was not a son!
Li Yuyan sneered in her heart, the concubine said this to protect Baili Wenyi, and wanted to pick Baili Wenyi clean.
Thinking of this, she said shallowly: "Does the concubine want to protect Princess Yi like this? The body buried by the prince has nothing to do with her, but many of the assassinations of the prince were all handled by Baili Wenyi."
For what Li Yuyan said, Baili Wenyi knew how deep the concubine's love for her was.
Just like today, she said to her father on the surface that she wanted to persuade her mother and let her mother tell her about the evil things she did back then, the purpose of which was to go to the cold palace to see her mother. As for asking her mother to confess, she could say afterwards that her mother only worked hard and never did anything harmful.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that Li Yuyan's movements were so fast, and she could even smell the smell that others couldn't smell, and even the poison used by her mother concubine, she knew it clearly.
The concubine kowtowed violently to Baili Shuo: "At the time of the incident, Wen Yi was so young, even if he assassinated other princes later, it was all the concubine who was responsible for it. The concubine is a concubine who does things alone, and such matters have nothing to do with Wen Yi! Please also ask the emperor to treat Wen Yi well, don't ruin Wen Yi's life because of me!"
Li Yuyan stroked his palms and said, "Guifei Huicong, take all the blame on yourself and protect Baili Wenyi."
Baili Wenyi asked, "You said so much, what evidence do you have to prove that I killed my own brother?"
At this moment, Ye Yiheng came in with someone.
The guards of Tiansheng East Palace pulled a string of people, and these people tied their arms behind their backs, strung them with hemp ropes, and were brought into the hall like a string of grasshoppers.
Seeing these people, Baili Wenyi's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of consternation.
These were the ministers with whom she had consulted last night.
Ye Yiheng said lightly: "Emperor Nandian, this is the key figure of the concubine's party, I believe that after torture, there will be a lot of gains."
Baili Wenyi got up and rushed to Ye Yiheng: "I have listened to your words and returned to the palace, why do you want to treat me like this?"
