Chapter 580 Framed
"Stop... stop fighting, I'm recruiting... I'm all going to confess."
After the little palace maid was slapped several times by the palace guards, she was so frightened that she became incoherent and confused.
She looked at Xia Zihan, that apologetic, hopeful, and unbearable look made Xia Zihan feel uneasy.
Sure enough, the next moment, the little girl pointed at her and said, "Princess Chu Yu forced the slave to do it. If the slave did not agree, Princess Chu Yu said that she would kill the slave.
Xia Zihan's head went blank after hearing this. He couldn't think of anything and could only stare at the little palace maid in disbelief.
Mrs. Zhuo was still anxious, stood up, and shouted at the little palace maid regardless, "You are so impudent that you dare to slander Princess Chu Yu. Who gives you the courage to slander the princess, but you will die."
"No... I have not wronged Princess Chuyu." A flash of panic flashed in the little palace maid's eyes. She glanced at Princess Zhengna several times, and then at Xia Zihan several times with her heart trembling.
In the end, she said firmly, "Your Majesty, this servant really did not wrong Princess Chuyu. I ask Your Majesty to look into it clearly."
"The first time Princess Chu Yu went to the Millennium Palace, she saw the slave. It was the fourth palace gate where the slave sent the princess and Princess An out. At that time, Princess Chu Yu held the slave's hand. , quietly stuffed ten taels of silver into the slave girl, and asked the slave girl to tell the princess everything about the queen the next time she came to the palace to visit the Queen Mother. "
What the little palace maid said was so convincing that everyone present believed it, even Princess Rong believed it a little.
Princess Rong remembered how the queen had made things difficult for them when they came in, and deliberately humiliated them in public.
Princess Rong thought that the queen was not insulting her face, but that of Princess Chu Yu, and she, Zhuo, and the second princess's mother-in-law were only implicated by Princess Chu Yu.
Princess Rong thought so, and so did Rong Wu. She looked at Xia Zihan gloatingly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Humph... Xia Zihan is so brave. She even dared to poison the queen. Now that someone has pointed it out, the emperor will definitely punish her severely.
It would be best to cancel her title of princess and lock her up. In that case, the Chu family would definitely not want a vicious daughter-in-law, let alone a woman who had been in prison to be the Chu family's clan wife.
Maybe, the Chu family will think that she has lost the face of the ancestors of the Chu family and wants to divorce her. If Chu Jingqi really divorces Xia Zihan, then she will immediately go to her mother-in-law and the official media to The Chu family proposed marriage.
She won't be embarrassed, like a woman proposing marriage to a man first because she's afraid of embarrassment or something.
She just wanted to marry Chu Jingqi, she just didn't want to miss Chu Jingqi. As long as she could marry him, she would shamelessly propose marriage first, so what.
Rong Wu had her own little plan in mind, and a bright smile appeared on her face, as if she had seen Chu Jingqi carrying her back to Chu's house in an eight-carriage sedan.
The Second Princess, Mrs. Dou, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Liao Family, several people who were close to Xia Zihan, did not believe the words of the young palace maid at all.
There was no conflict of interest between Xia Zihan and the Queen, and there was no hatred so big that he wanted to kill the Queen, so how could he harm the Queen for no reason.
Could it be that Xia Zihan would still be able to hold on after eating enough to assassinate the Queen?
Yep, that’s a fantasy. Besides, they had known Xia Zihan for many years and knew that Xia Zihan was not a person who would be stupid enough to poison the queen in public. However, they still let the little maid next to the queen know and left a fatal wound for themselves. handle.
This is a rhythm that I don’t want to live anymore.
The second princess stepped forward, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I can guarantee that Princess Chu Yu will not do this."
"Princess Chu Yu has no enmity with the Queen, so how could she kill the Queen in public? It's not like she is tired of living a long life. Besides, based on the words of the little palace maid, Princess Chu Yu is determined to be the murderer. This is too reckless.”
"My wife believes that the emperor should also give Princess Chu Yu a chance to explain. Otherwise, a good person will be wronged. Your Majesty... please think twice."
The second princess shouted loudly again.
Xia Zihan was very moved. Seeing the second princess turning to look at her and encouraging her with her eyes, she slowly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you also said that the pure will become pure and the turbid will become turbid. I have never done that. Don’t be afraid of being slandered.”
"I have the impression that this little palace lady stopped Princess Anjun and me at the fourth palace gate when we first entered the palace to visit the Queen Mother and said that the queen invited us to come over."
"When we went there, Princess Zhengna was also there. The queen asked us something, and then sent this little palace maid to escort us out of the fourth palace gate."
"Just now, the little palace maid said that I gave her ten taels of silver and took her to the side to whisper. Your Majesty, there are so many people in the harem. If I really did that, I guess someone would see it. Well, the emperor will know whether I did it or not.”
"Also, the Queen is the mother of a country. I have no reason to harm the Queen. Even if there is, the Emperor should know my abilities. If I want to harm a woman who is incapable of fighting a chicken, I still need to How stupid must I be to bribe a little palace maid to help me? And deliberately leave this clue to the emperor?”
"If a person wants to harm someone, there is a reason. If I harm the queen, I can't think of any reason. If I harm the queen, I won't get any benefits. Why should I do such a thankless thing? Things?”
"However, if someone doesn't like me and deliberately frames me, starting from the Queen would be a good opportunity."
Because, for the crime of poisoning the queen, even if she is Princess Chuyu and the crown prince of Anjun Palace, she will be severely punished by the emperor.
Deposing the title of princess is still a small punishment. If the emperor gets angry and punishes her without investigating the matter clearly, he might even impulsively imprison her in the sky prison for the rest of her life.
Therefore, the person who wanted to frame her had evil intentions.
When Xia Zihan said the words "deliberately framed", he deliberately glanced at Princess Zhengna. That look in his eyes clearly indicated that he could frame her in battle.
Princess Zheng Na's face was so angry that she twisted into a pimple. She jumped out and pointed at her and cursed, "Chu Yu, what do you mean? You are staring at me. Are you suspecting that I framed you? I can tell you. , I didn’t frame you, you killed the queen, and now the witness is conclusive, you still want to go around biting people like a mad dog and have them buried with you, no way.”
Then he said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Princess Chu Yu poisoned the queen, and there are witnesses. If you don't redress the queen's grievances and punish Princess Chu Yu, you won't be able to stop the public opinion of thousands of people in Dasheng. ”
