The Emperor wrote on the table, causing even Crown Prince Jin Nie to be suspicious, why did the not punish Baili Jinxiu and? But immediately after, the orders that Fu Shun read out left him in ecstasy.
"Today, Prince An Gong Xiaoxuan and Princess An Baili Jinxiu have colluded with the thieves to harm the Grean Yan Crown Prince, and have tried to poison him, and have even punished him for several crimes. Reflecting on the achievements of the Prince An in calming down the war, he was exempted from the death penalty, and his sentence was sent to the capital, where he is unable to return to the capital for the rest of his life. "
Baili Jinxiu noticed that the man beside him was releasing cold air, as though he was trying to endure something, but he quickly calmed down.
A flash of pain flashed past Baili Jinxiu's eyes. Even if Gong Xiaoxuan wasn't the emperor and empress's son, he was still the emperor's flesh and blood. To be treated like this by his closest kin, the taste would definitely not be pleasant.
Baili Jinxiu sighed, why was Emperor so confused?
Releasing his hand which was held by his own Master Gong, Baili Jinxiu walked forward and reported: "My daughter-in-law is not convinced!"
Baili Jinxiu calling himself daughter-in-law was to let the Emperor realize that Gong Xiaoxuan was his son and was his former pride.
But it was obvious that the emperor did not realize this, he frowned and waved his hand, "Baili Jinxiu, what else do you have to say for yourself? If you weren't Princess An, it wouldn't be too much if I were to sentence you to death today. "
Death penalty... The corner of Baili Jinxiu's mouth curved into a cold smile. It seemed like the Emperor really hated him to the core.
"If I really have done such a thing, I don't need Emperor to remember me, I can just directly execute me!" Baili Jinxiu's words were loud and clear, causing both the Emperor and the Crown Prince to look over. Baili Jinxiu smiled slightly and continued, "But, if it's because of such a thing that I've never done before, and if it's purely nonsense, then it's my fault, I won't accept it even if I die.
I heard that even those who have been sentenced to death have the chance to redress my own grievances, so how about I, Baili Jinxiu, prove my innocence to you and my Prince? "
Baili Jinxiu swept his eyes across the hall, seeing that Prince Jin Nie was watching the show, the Master Gong had an icy face that prevented anyone from entering. On the high seat, the emperor was deep in thought. He neither answered nor rejected.
Baili Jinxiu acted as if it was the Emperor, and called his people down to bring them back.
"This old servant greets the Emperor, the Crown Princess, and Crown Prince Jin Nie." The butler of the Duke Palace brought a black-clothed man into the hall, and after bowing politely, he said to Baili Jinxiu: "Royal Concubine, you have brought the person you wanted."
Baili Jinxiu nodded, then indicated for the butler to go down. This person was caught by the Yolk Sect people yesterday, but he never had the time to interrogate them. She was worried that Gong Xiaohan would use yesterday's assassin to explain things, so he ordered her Yolk Sect to pass the person over to the butler, bringing him here when necessary.
The assassin was tied up extremely tightly. Baili Jinxiu walked over and kicked him twice as he asked: "What's your name?"
The black-clothed man only "Wu Wu Wu …" As he struggled, Baili Jinxiu carefully examined him and was shocked to realize that the person had long since lost his tongue. Presumably, the person behind this was also someone who had done this to prevent a leak.
Seeing that the black clothed man was unable to say a word, Crown Prince Jin Nie laughed even more complacently. Baili Jinxiu cast him a sidelong glance and ignored him.
Baili Jinxiu had never interrogated this black-clothed man before, he didn't know if his Yolk Sect had anything to say yesterday. Thus, this person being unable to speak would instead be extremely beneficial to her. Since he was unable to speak, she would speak up for him!
"Emperor, this is the proof I use to prove my innocence." When the man heard what he called himself, he whimpered again and began to struggle.
Baili Jinxiu could not be bothered, he looked at the seated Emperor and continued: "I believe Emperor still remembers the assassin from yesterday, and this person is one of the assassins. Yesterday, after his father had left, her daughter-in-law had ordered people to search for those assassins. In the end, the Emperor did not disappoint those who wanted to capture him. She caught an assassin at the city gate — the person currently in the palace.
When the daughter-in-law caught the assassin, she discovered that the assassin's tongue had already been cut off. The mastermind must have been afraid that the assassin would reveal his secret. So after being interrogated for a while by the assassin, the daughter-in-law finally found out who the culprit was. "
Baili Jinxiu continued to make things up. After all, no one knew the truth and he was right.
Emperor's eyes were closed, probably because he was also interested in this matter. After hearing it, he asked Baili Jinxiu sternly, "Who is the mastermind?"
Baili Jinxiu carefully thought over the information in his mind. If he said that Prince Jin Nie was the mastermind right now, maybe his ability would save Prince Jin Nie's life, but …
In reply to royal father, my daughter-in-law carefully interrogated my son for a while. In the end, she discovered that the person who wanted to harm my father was actually Royal Younger Brother — Gong Xiaohan!
Although pushing him down onto the body of Crown Prince Jin Nie would save his life, it would only drag him into the water. Gong Xiaohan was still the good son who innocently defended Emperor from the disaster.
But if they pushed Gong Xiaohan down, Emperor would suspect Gong Xiaohan's motive, and would discover that Gong Xiaohan was colluding with Crown Prince Jin Nie, and would even more likely attack him in a fit of anger.
But it was obvious that Baili Jinxiu was not clear about the Emperor's distrust towards her, he only heard the emperor snort coldly and said angrily: "What a sharp mouth, you actually pushed the crime to Xiao Han, who is still lying on the bed today. I am asking you, do you have any evidence?"
Baili Jinxiu's heart turned cold, this Gong Xiaohan had indeed used his trick to win against the blade, and now that the Emperor was sure that Gong Xiaohan had helped him avert a disaster, it could be said that he had complete faith in him. It seemed like he couldn't touch anyone today, but she couldn't let himself and Gong Xiaoxuan be touched either!
"Since the Emperor wants the evidence, then why did the Emperor give his daughter-in-law a conviction without any evidence when Crown Prince Jin Nie was slandering her? I am here to testify against Crown Prince Jin Nie, but he cannot say what is the reason, could royal father not see the truth? " Baili Jinxiu was also extremely disappointed, but he still smiled: "This is where the assassins that my daughter-in-law has caught are. If you want evidence, then let Gong Xiaohan come and confront you."
Baili Jinxiu's words were soft and gentle, but they were extremely pleasing to the ears, but the meaning behind his words were thought-provoking.
When Crown Prince Jin Nie said that Baili Jinxiu had poisoned him, the Emperor immediately punished Baili Jinxiu with just the words of Crown Prince. But now, Baili Jinxiu had brought along a witness and a witness, while the Emperor was shouting for evidence, the twists and turns were truly interesting.
Emperor was furious, he casually grabbed onto the ink stone and smashed it down, then said: "Baili Jinxiu, now that the night chill is not here, you really want to add it to your punishment, and you are lying in bed with the night chill, how do you expect me to face it?"
Gong Xiaoxuan saw the ink stone smash towards Baili Jinxiu, and became anxious. He took the jade pendant from his waist and threw it towards the ink stone.
The two forces collided, and with a "pa da" sound, both the inkstone and the jade pendant shattered into pieces.
