The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1187 Farce

"Nonsense! Nonsense! You are slandering! Slander!" Princess Hong'an was so shocked and angry that her trembling fingers almost touched Concubine Cen's face.

"How dare you spread rumors and cause trouble on such an important matter?!" Princess Hong'an was so furious that she felt her head buzzing, as if countless thunders were rolling and roaring on the treacherous sea.

Regardless of the many fragments of memory flying at her in disorder, the frightened and angry Grand Princess wished she could immediately erase all the false accusations from the other party.

Yongping must not be accused of regicide, otherwise, even if she is accused of it, she will not be able to bear the blame for this crime.

"Where's the evidence? Where's the actual proof?" Princess Hong'an suppressed the panic in her eyes and spread her hands towards Concubine Dowager Cen, "Just relying on these vague testimonies that I don't know if they were written by the Lang family, you can arbitrarily accuse Yongping?

  You said that the Lang family took their son away from Chu? Haha, who saw them leave with their own eyes? It's just your one-sided statement!

Maybe just like more than ten years ago, when Prince Jing killed the Lang family and their two sons in order to get rid of their marriage relationship, you, an old woman, have also done something to the three of them!

Cen! I can pity you for losing your child in old age, understand that you are crazy because of missing your child, and forgive your inexplicable nonsense!

But you can't be jealous and hate me just because I have so many children! Do you think that by eliminating Yongping and disqualifying her children from competing for the crown prince, your dark thoughts will come true? I advise you not to be too clever and make mistakes, and make wedding clothes for others! "

Her words made Concubine Cen's face change suddenly.

Shu Yajing, who hadn't had a chance to speak since the court session began, was suddenly startled when she saw this.

She thought that Concubine Cen was suspicious because of the Grand Princess's words "making wedding clothes for others".

However, he didn't know that what made the other party's expression change drastically was that the Grand Princess brought up the old news again, revealing the rumors about Prince Jing in the vassal state.

"The reason why the Lang family fled the fiefdom with their son has been explained by both the old woman and the Lang family. How can you ignore the facts and call a black cat a white cat?"

Concubine Cen's sudden shout did not scare Princess Hong'an, but it did frighten the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple in the hall.

He clenched the gavel tightly, almost letting it fall from his grasp. A sigh of helplessness slowly escaped from his lips.

Although it was the duty of the Dali Temple to investigate cases, since this case involved important members of the royal family, he really wanted to recommend them to move to the Ministry of Clan Affairs.

Although the accusations made by Concubine Cen and Princess Hong'an both involved the dignity of the law, they were all major cases, especially the assassination of Emperor Jinghe. If there were any new progress, the old files would have to be reopened, and the Internal Guard and the Three Judicial Departments would jointly handle the case.

But the problem is that there is no new evidence in these two old cases which have already been concluded, and all the accusations are made at random!

  Thinking of this, Nan Siqing looked at the two people who were using the important case as a sharp arrow to attack each other, and he was angry and helpless. When he saw them about to fight, he held the gavel for a long time and roared happily: Stop it! You two lawless lunatics who ignore the law!

Concubine Cen and Princess Hong'an, who were already holding each other's clothes, were startled by the sudden loud bang and stopped unconsciously.

Without waiting for them to recover, the Minister of the Southern Temple shouted, "The Dali Temple is not your residence, so you two cannot play around as you please. The case I am going to ask about today is the case where the concubine of the King of Zhao accused Princess Yongping of poisoning the King of Zhao's son. If the Grand Concubine and the Grand Princess really have new evidence of other cases, the Dali Temple can also reopen the old case! However, if the two of you are just having a verbal dispute for a while, then don't blame me for being ruthless. According to the law, I will ask the emperor to hold you accountable and punish you!"

After he said this, Shu Yajing couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.

She was the victim! She didn't care about the assassination of the previous emperor, nor did she intend to investigate whether the murder of Prince Zhao was related to Yongping, and she had no interest in the secrets of Prince Jing's mansion.

She just wanted to settle the case of Xu'er's poisoning, punish the criminal and put the child at ease.

  But who could have thought that Concubine Cen, who was so confident before going to court, would suddenly lose her composure and start a fight with Princess Hong'an!

Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable! Unbelievable! Really unbelievable!

If she had known this, she would not have given up her right to accuse!

"Concubine Zhao, you have been listening for a long time without saying a word. Why don't you tell us about your accusations outside the imperial city now?"

Nan Si Qing took back the right for the Grand Princess and Concubine Cen to speak freely, and then looked at Shu Yajing who was about to speak.

……

Sheng Yuan was standing outside the side door, waiting to go to the classroom to answer questions, but as she waited, she almost witnessed a fight between Princess Hongan and Concubine Cen.

  And then... then, the Dali Temple Minister modified the course of the investigation and directly jumped to the case of the poisoning of Prince Zhao!

No, if you don't need me, why would you go all the way to the Five Military Command Headquarters to invite me? !

We have been here for more than half an hour, what's the result? !

  So, they are dissatisfied with the lack of spectators and called us over to watch the live broadcast?

When did the style of Dali Temple become like this? !

Sheng Yuan found himself becoming redundant, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should continue to watch the fun with relish or return to his job and work diligently.

However, Sheng Yuan's dilemma did not last long, as her attention was attracted by the battle between Shu Yajing and Princess Hong'an.

Unlike Concubine Cen who only had a confession of uncertain authenticity, Shu Yajing not only held the diagnosis and prescription given to Crown Prince Jiang Weixu by the Imperial Medical Bureau, but also more than a dozen books recording the conversations between her and the palace ladies about the situation of Crown Prince Jiang Weixu of King Zhao.

"Minister Nan Si, the above conversations are all true. Each record details the time, place, and names of the people involved. You can call the palace servants one by one according to the records, and I can confront them one by one!"

"Nan Siqing, why bother asking this old woman to explain? Why not call Yongping, the person involved, to explain it first?"

As Shu Yajing was accusing, Concubine Cen gradually regained her sanity and after Shu Yajing finished speaking, she took the opportunity to offer her opinion.

"Hongan, since you said Yongping is innocent, then let her produce evidence of her innocence. You can't have so many people in the palace go against her, right?!"

Princess Hong'an instinctively knew that her daughter couldn't be allowed to come here, but before she could object, the Supreme Court agreed to Concubine Cen's proposal: "It is only natural for the person concerned to come to answer questions. I have just asked the inner guards to go to the palace to pick them up. When Princess Yongping and the palace maids and imperial doctors involved arrive, we will make a final decision."

After saying this, he slammed the gavel again, notifying everyone to pause the interrogation, and ordered the Grand Princess, Concubine Cen, and Shu Yajing to go to the side hall to rest and wait.

  Sheng Yuan was looking at the side hall. The lobby was empty and no one came to look for her. She suddenly realized that she seemed to have been forgotten!

All right, just forget it. Anyway, “not criticizing means tacit consent”!

Now that she is here, she has to watch it to her heart's content!
