Chapter 239: Trial

"So you just weren't seen by anyone, and no one can testify on your behalf, you did get shredded by a crab while you were doing laundry that day, right?"

The third prince looked coldly at the person in front of him.

"Yes, the third prince is indeed the third prince, but I really didn't kill the maid, and I don't have the courage to persecute the queen."

The maid cried louder.

"What about you?"

The third prince looked directly at the third palace maid who was kneeling on the ground.

"Tell the third prince, I really didn't get seen by anyone, because the rats stealing food only come out at night, so everyone turned off the lights, put their clothes aside, and when they got up in the morning, it was like this, and I naturally didn't dare to tell everyone, because I kept the sweets for my sisters when I was eating dinner, and this behavior was not good, so I told others that others would naturally laugh at me, and naturally I didn't have any witnesses."

The third palace maid also lay on the ground and cried and said.

After hearing this, the third prince walked in front of the emperor and the queen with a little confidence.

"Mother, I already know who did this."

The third prince walked to the emperor, and the queen's side said slowly, while he also observed the three people kneeling on the ground with his peripheral vision.

At this time, he obviously saw the first palace maid raise her head in surprise, looked into the eyes of the third prince, and when she looked at the third prince, she saw that the third prince seemed to be looking at herself, so she immediately lowered her head in fear.

"Oh, San'er, you read it wrong, who did it and everyone is there, you can say it."

The emperor said.

"The emperor is the first palace maid."

Sure enough, when he looked at the first palace maid again, the palace maid's whole body was trembling, and she raised her head unexpectedly to look at the third prince opposite.

"Wronged, the third prince is wronged, not a slave, even if the slave is given ten guts, the slave and the maid will not dare to murder the queen."

The first palace maid hurriedly stood up and walked over to the third prince.

"What are you doing here?"

After the queen saw the palace maid's actions, she shouted loudly.

"Third prince, queen, if you don't believe me, you can find the group of palace maids who flew kites with me, they can tell you the truth, and they also saw me go up the tree."

After hearing the queen's voice, the palace maid stopped her steps in time.

"There are no witnesses to all of them, only you have witnesses, and not only do you have one witness, but you have many witnesses, and what they both say is true, and I can see clearly that their clothes are all crumpled, and at first glance they are worn dirty clothes, but your clothes are very new, and you go to fly a kite, why do you put on new clothes? And which of the palace maid's clothes can be brand new? ”

The third prince suddenly turned his head to look at the palace maid.

After listening to the words of the third prince, everyone couldn't help but look at the first palace maid, her clothes were indeed very neat, and she had not been washed at first glance, because the cotton and linen clothes would shrink as long as they were washed, and they would not look so new, the clothes of the second person who was torn by crabs and the third person who was torn by rats were all wrinkled, and there were a lot of rusty dirt on them.

Everyone suddenly had doubts in their hearts.

"The third prince is because when I happened to go kite flying, their palace maids were all more beautiful than me, but my self-esteem was relatively strong, and when I saw that others were better looking than me, I could only compare them with brand new clothes."

The first palace maid stammered.

"Really? But everyone only has one piece of clothing, so why would you have brand new clothes? As far as I know, the palace only gives out clothes once every three months, but why do you have brand new clothes before the time for them to be distributed, so is there someone behind you who is directing you? ”

The third prince once again looked at the person in front of him suspiciously.

Suddenly, the two palace maids next to them also turned their heads to look, and the first palace maid looked down at the clothes on her body again.

"Third prince, you are right, it is true that the clothes are distributed once every three months, and we have not yet reached the time to distribute the clothes, so it must be her, it must be her."

As if they had reacted, the two palace maids turned their heads to look and said to the first palace maid.

"No, it's not like that, my clothes, my clothes..."

The first maid began to stammer.

There was also obvious fear in her eyes, and her eyes seemed to be dodging.

"Okay, don't quibble, we all already know, this matter is what you did, if you invite it truthfully, we will be punished lightly, but if you refuse to admit it and refuse to confess, then you will definitely be severely punished for this matter."

At this time, the queen spoke.

Only then did the palace maid slowly raise her head and look at the second prince on the side.

Her move did not escape the queen's eyes at all.

At this time, the second prince suddenly rushed to the side of the first palace maid, stretched out his hand and grabbed her collar tightly.

"Damn, you are so bold, you dare to do such a thing to the queen, say, why do you want to kill the queen, fortunately, the person wearing the queen's clothes today is a palace maid, otherwise the person who died tragically now is the queen, I didn't expect that there would be such a bold person in the imperial city."

The second prince stepped forward and said angrily to the maid in front of him, everyone didn't expect the second prince to behave like this, because he had never done anything to the queen before, but what he did today was a bit unexpected.

Suddenly, the queen seemed to know something, and he was surprised to see that the second prince on the side was about to say something.

Just as she wanted to say something, she didn't expect blood to flow from the corners of the palace maid's mouth.

"Ahh

Everyone began to exclaim.

"You palace maid even dare to commit suicide."

At the same time, the second prince began to roar again.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

The third prince was also anxious at this time, he quickly rushed to the side of the palace maid, squeezed the second prince aside, and looked at the blood that slowly flowed from the corner of the palace maid's mouth, he knew that the palace maid bit her tongue and committed suicide.

"Say, tell me quickly, whoever wins and who is behind your back?"

The third prince looked at the maid anxiously.

But the maid seemed to have made up her mind, and kept her mouth shut tightly, not saying a word.

And the queen also sighed heavily in her heart, because she knew that such a maid was definitely a loyal servant, otherwise he would not sacrifice his life for this matter.

After the second prince on the side stood up, he walked to the emperor's side.
