The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.
Chapter 80 Spare their lives
As time went on, the King of Wu felt as if his knees were being pricked with needles, the pain so intense it felt like they didn't belong to him anymore.
Even so, the King of Wu could only grit his teeth and kneel.
He lost!
This time, he made another mistake.
However... Prince Rui, don't get too cocky.
More than an hour later, the Prefect of the Capital finally returned.
He presented his confession to Emperor Kangwu.
After Emperor Kangwu finished reading, he asked, "Where is the person?"
"Outside," the Prefect of the Capital quickly replied.
Emperor Kangwu nodded slowly, and soon several people were brought in.
Ms. Tian turned her head curiously, and when she saw who it was, she was immediately startled.
Why is the old nanny next to her here?
"Tell me," Emperor Kangwu said casually, tossing the confession he had just read onto the desk.
"Your Majesty, this servant is the head maidservant of Lady Jingwen," the maidservant said, kowtowing.
"It was Madam who instructed me to obtain the poison to poison the Earl."
Madam Tian was shocked and, completely forgetting the occasion, shouted, "You're talking nonsense!"
Qi Zhiyu scoffed, "Didn't you just admit that you poisoned it?"
"Why such a big reaction now?"
Madam Tian quickly explained, "I did administer the poison, but she didn't get the poison; it was King Wu who gave it to me!"
She didn't know why the nanny said that; she just had a feeling.
If she doesn't explain things clearly and lets the old woman continue talking, she's doomed.
"Madam, things have come to this point, please accept it." The old woman looked at Madam Tian with grief.
"I watched you grow up, Miss. Now that you've been locked up, your life is ruined. It breaks my heart."
"You want to take revenge on the Earl, on Prince Rui, on Prince Wu... I understand."
"I support you, so whenever you need poison, I will get it for you."
"But... Madam, we are unlucky; we did not succeed!"
"No, no, that's not how it is..." Madam Tian panicked, completely at a loss.
She quickly turned her head and looked at the King of Wu kneeling not far away, saying urgently, "King of Wu, it was you who said that if things are exposed, you would let me tell you the whole truth."
"I did everything you told me to do, you can't just abandon me!"
"You can't just stand by and watch this vile woman defile me!"
King Wu frowned slightly, then sighed, "So, you hold a grudge against me because of your daughter."
"What they have done is beyond my ability to save them."
"If you hold a grudge against me because of this, I have nothing to say."
"However, I truly didn't expect you to set this up like this."
Fortunately, he had a backup plan and could extricate himself from the situation.
At least, on the surface, it's all been cleared up.
"No, that's not it!" Tian suddenly realized that she couldn't explain herself no matter how hard she tried.
She hurriedly kowtowed to Emperor Kangwu: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"
"It was indeed the King of Wu who gave the poison to me, instructing me to poison the Earl and frame the Princess Consort of Rui."
"Princess Rui murdered her father, thus ruining Prince Rui!"
King Wu said with a heavy heart, "Lady Tian, I understand your deep love for your daughter."
He really put on a very righteous act.
Lady Tian stared blankly at King Wu, as if struck by lightning.
How...how did things turn out like this?
The King of Wu promised to protect her!
Looking at the benevolent-looking King Wu, and then at the grieving nanny, Tian suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Alright, you can say that I asked you to buy the poison."
"What about the porcelain bottle found in the Wu King's palace?"
Qi Zhiyu burst out laughing.
How could Jing Wenbo promote such a brainless idiot to the position?
Is the Heavenly Dao acting erratically here?
Instead of supporting her father, a legitimate chosen one, he created these disgusting things to steal her family's fortune.
He's really sick!
Tian's question was naturally answered.
The old woman knew a servant in the Prince Wu's mansion; that servant had received a favor from the old woman before and thus helped her.
The matter has been thoroughly investigated and "cleared up".
Everything was done by the Tian family.
Her motive was to avenge her daughter.
We have both witnesses and physical evidence.
The case was easily resolved.
She murdered the Earl and implicated two princes; Lady Tian deserves to die many times over!
Emperor Kangwu did not issue a decree directly, but instead looked at Qi Zhiyu: "Chen'an, what do you think should be the punishment?"
The King of Wu's eyes turned cold; his father was placing too much importance on his eldest son.
Even for something like this, they had to ask Qi Zhiyu.
Is it because Qi Zhiyu was found by the eldest son's family and the eldest son felt sorry for her that the Emperor did this?
Father Emperor would actually be so careful to subtly curry favor with the eldest son!
The King of Wu's jealousy and resentment swelled rapidly, and he was about to explode with rage!
It's good that Father asked that question.
The crimes committed by the Tian family deserve enough to wipe out their entire family.
If Qi Zhiyu were to get his father to kill the Tian family, he would definitely have the story spread far and wide.
Qi Zhiyu was incredibly selfless, even sacrificing her own family for the greater good.
She upheld the law, but she showed no regard for family ties.
If the daughter raised by Prince Rui is so cold-blooded, what kind of good person is Prince Rui?
Once the seed is planted, it will find the right opportunity to be activated.
"Grandfather, spare their lives," Qi Zhiyu said.
King Wu said in a deep voice, "Chen'an, you cannot disregard the law just because you care about family ties."
If Qi Zhiyu doesn't kill the Tian family, he's just incapable of distinguishing right from wrong.
Anyway, no matter what she chooses, he'll find a way to drag Larry and his family into the mess.
The King of Wu finally felt a little better.
Even though he lost this match, he didn't lose everything.
He planted the seeds for a future comeback.
Qi Zhiyu asked with amusement, "King Wu, are you out of your mind?"
The King of Wu's face darkened, and he stared at her fiercely.
Anyone else would have been intimidated by his imposing presence.
Qi Zhiyu met his gaze as if nothing had happened, her eyes filled with mockery: "She's nothing more than Jingwenbo's concubine, not even my legitimate maternal grandmother."
"What kind of kinship do I have with her?"
The status and position of a concubine who is promoted to the rank of principal wife are quite different from that of a wife who is formally married later.
King Wu choked, but still stubbornly said, "Then tell me you want to spare her life."
"The main problem is that Uncle Jingwen's health will only be so-so after that," Qi Zhiyu sighed.
"He definitely needs someone who understands and cares for him."
"Back then, the reason why Uncle Jingwen made her his official wife was because she knew how to serve people and how much she cared for him."
"Perfect, letting her take care of Uncle Jingwen will save my mother from worrying and fulfill her filial piety."
"As for the rest of the Tian family..." Qi Zhiyu looked at Emperor Kangwu, "Grandfather, there's no shortage of laborers outside, just let them do it."
"Killing them would be too easy for them."
"They've enjoyed so much wealth and luxury for so many years thanks to the Tian family; they should have to pay back some of it."
Upon hearing this, Ms. Tian collapsed to the ground like a limp rag doll.
She poisoned Jingwenbo, and then she had to serve him day and night?
She knew best what kind of person Jing Wenbo was.
He must have tortured her to death.
