Rebirth: Splendid Wedding

Chapter 125 Confrontation in front of the palace and request for marriage (3)
Emperor Wu Cheng was meditating with his short beard.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Zhou stood up and said, "Then, may I ask Princess Leping, where were you at that time?" When he asked, even if the letter in Dong Ruohan's hand was not written by Princess Leping, where was she at that time?What are you doing?If she can't tell the reason, then she won't be able to wash it away.

"Your Majesty, Leping is also in Tsinghua Palace."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone turned their surprised eyes on Concubine Yan, but she was not nervous at all. After Tuoba Lin told her last night that Xiao Anzi and the little palace maid were dead, she guessed that Dong Ruojie wanted to kill this girl. The matter was pushed to her, if the prince's words were the same, then it would be difficult for her to avoid it.After much consideration, she decided to admit it directly.

"What's going on here?" Wu Chengdi frowned and asked.

Concubine Yan looked at Tuoba Lin at the side, and saw him nodding slightly towards her.This was their agreement last night. If Dong Ruojie must frame her, let's be honest. Even if the two witnesses died, she still had someone to confirm the situation at that time.Tuoba Lin nodded, meaning that he had arranged everything.

She recounted how the eunuch took her to Huaqing Palace last night, and then said: "Leping felt uncomfortable, so he ran to the door immediately, but the door was locked and the window was nailed dead, and he heard footsteps I was scared, so I hid under the bed."

Fortunately, the beds in Huaqing Palace are different from other beds. The bottom is empty and covered by a bed cover. There is no doubt about the theory of hiding there.

Hearing what she said, Tuoba Lin and Dong Ruohan couldn't believe it. Didn't she hear everything they did on the bed?Dong Ruohan was embarrassed and ashamed, and Tuoba Lin felt even worse in his heart.

"Why did the eunuch say that Prince Yong asked you to meet and you would go? What is your relationship with him? Also, you said you were under the bed at the time, who was there to witness?" Prime Minister Zhou asked.

Concubine Yan replied: "Because I am sick, Prince Yong said that there is a secret recipe to help me. I thought the eunuch belonged to him, and I no doubt followed him, but I didn't expect that it would be Huaqing Palace. As for who? As my witnesses, Commander Wen and Prince Yong can witness that they were the last to walk out of Huaqing Palace."

Hearing her own name, Wen Xuan stood up and said, "I can testify that Princess Leping was indeed hiding under the bed. She fell ill at the time and was later taken away by Prince Yong."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tuoba Lin stepped forward and said, "I took Princess Leping away when I saw her illness. You know the situation at that time, Your Majesty. I immediately sent someone to tell you that Princess Leping was not feeling well. You can't attend the Lantern Festival, so you send Mo Wen to see the doctor, as for what disease Princess Leping has, Mo Wen knows best."

Wen Xuan said again: "The eunuch who led Princess Leping found that he was bitten by a poisonous snake last night and died, and the food and drinks in Huaqing Palace were prepared by a young maid for a secret meeting with her lover. Unfortunately, she committed suicide, leaving only suicide note."

Such an important clue was broken, and the confessions of the commander of the Imperial Army and Prince Yong proved that Princess Leping was also one of the victims. In addition, Mo Wen’s confession for Princess Leping’s diagnosis made it impossible to conclude that she was the one who invited the prince to Huaqing Palace.

At this moment, Dong Ruohan looked pale. Dong Ruojie said that she would have a chance to escape the catastrophe only if she shifted the responsibility to Princess Leping, but she never expected that Princess Leping would have so many witnesses.

How to do it?

At this moment, she heard Princess Leping say: "Your Majesty, as long as you find the person who wrote the letter to Miss Dong San, you will know the series of events. Who is behind the plan?"

What?Dong Ruohan was suddenly flustered.That letter was written by her. If it is found out, isn't that a frame-up?It was too late for her to return the letter, which was in the hands of the prince.
