C222 Public trial(2)

In your eyes, the death of a servant girl from a wealthy family may not be a big deal. Moreover, you also have a martial arts backer, the father of a would-be general, who is Prince Yan's trusted aide. "Because of this, the prince will also give you some face and won't pursue this matter …"

"No!" I'm jealous of Wu. Why? I'm not sick! "

Xin Yingning indifferently said, "You're a narrow-minded, jealous and vicious person. You're full of hostility towards all the women in the Prince's Mansion. What's so strange about you harming Lady Wu?"

"Nonsense!" If I deliberately tried to harm him, why would I have to feign unconsciousness? I should be like Zhou Zhen, lying on the bed pretending to be asleep will make it easier to get rid of myself! "

"No, you really did want to go to the Moon Parasol Pavilion and have Madam Jia act as your time witness and let Hui Qiao bear all of the culprits on her own. But Hui Qiao came back early and didn't find you. She thought there was an accident and went to find you everywhere … "You noticed that something was wrong, so you dragged Xing'er, who had fainted earlier, to the wooden house and made up some lies …"

Hui Qiao suddenly turned her eyes to look at Cheng Ying Zhi: "Miss, is this true?"

"What's real?" Don't you know we didn't knock the apricot out? Don't believe his plan of leaving, speak nonsense! " Cheng Ying Zhi was still conscious and knew that he had fallen into a trap.

Hui Qiao suddenly sneered, and tears fell: "Miss, I have always been serving you, doing everything for you, but you actually thought of this move in order to clear your mind of yourself. You said that you wanted to go to the Moon Parasol Pavilion, but I didn't understand your intentions yet. In that case, once the incident broke out, all the blame would belong to me alone! "No one can prove that you were the one who told me to do all those things. And with the identity of Princess Mo and the noble general's daughter, everyone will definitely be willing to protect you. I believe you …"

"Hui Qiao! "Don't listen to others …"

"That's right, Sir Xin. The young miss was the one who ordered me to use the Second Prince to have Imperial Concubine Gu miscarry. She was the one who ordered me to kill Ming Zhu and then hang her in front of Lady Wu's bed. She scared the hell out of Madame Wu …"

Cheng Ying Zhi's eyes darkened. He knew that he had fallen into a trap today, and pointed at Hui Ying with a trembling finger: "You … You betrayed me today, and in the future … I will definitely die a horrible death! "

"Offenders against the Cheng family, including inciting the servant girl Hui Ying to kill, and miscarriage of a concubine due to jealousy, shall be punished by the punishment!" Xin Yingning ordered expressionlessly.

After the public trial was over, Xin Yingning retreated to the back of the court and saw that behind the Official of the Supreme Court was the grief-stricken face of Prison Official Wu Changqing.

"Thank you, lords, for avenging my daughter!" Wu Changqing gnashed his teeth. He was only such a precious daughter, yet she was forced into a frenzy by someone else. The hatred in his heart could be imagined.

Xin Yingning patted his shoulder sympathetically, "We're all colleagues, it's my duty, how can I not do my best?"

"I didn't expect that woman to be so vicious, to hate out of jealousy, to do so many cruel things." The justice court's official, Dong Chang'en, sighed and shook his head.

"There are many women in the palace, it's hard to avoid such a thing …" It's just like when a battle will never end within the harem. " Xin Yingning also sighed, but she didn't continue speaking.

In the Monarch's home, there were many disputes that did not seem to be bloody on the surface, but in reality, they were even more brutal.

Dong Zhang En's expression changed. He thought about his own daughter, Dong Yu Feng, who was married to the Duke Yan Mansion, and felt a sudden panic in his heart. He subconsciously felt that something was amiss.

The prisoners sent by the Ministry of Justice to the prison in the Supreme Court for execution were all kept in their respective cells, their hair and faces disheveled, awaiting their deaths.

Hui Qiao had her head lowered, her long hair covering her face. She dragged the long iron chain as she was brought to the torture chamber by the guards.

Wu Changqing sat there and looked at her coldly. The sorrowful expression that was on his face earlier was replaced by a cold and sinister expression.

"Sir Wu, are you satisfied in the court today?" Hui Qiao slowly raised her head, her face did not have too much sadness, instead there was a trace of eagerness to please.

Wu Changqing waved his hand and nodded: "Very good, don't worry. On the day of the execution, I have prepared a substitute for you. Since you have kept your promise, I will naturally leave a way out for you."

He gradually revealed a trace of a smile, "You've suffered a lot these days. After this meal, I'll have someone bring you out through the secret passage."

Hui Qiao nodded her head, without a doubt. She sat at the table prepared for her and began to wolf down her food.

In the days that they were imprisoned and awaiting trial, the prisoners were indeed treated inhumanly. Even her, a maid, found it unbearable to eat and drink as much as they could.

Wu Changqing looked at her coldly.

"Wu …" Sir Wu … "This wine and food is …" Hui Qiao suddenly opened her eyes and covered her lower abdomen, sensing that something was wrong.

Wu Changqing slowly said: "I only agreed to let you find a substitute to behead him, I did not promise to let you leave this place alive. "Don't worry, there will still be someone who will bring you out through the secret passageway. It's just your corpse …"

Hui Qiao wanted to say something, but the poison acted up very quickly, causing purplish black blood to flow out of her seven orifices and onto the table.

Wu Changqing did not even look at her as he got up and left.

On the podium at the outskirts of the capital, the emperor was standing high above, gazing down.

Below the platform, the majority of the imperial guards were lined up in formation and below the stage. The officers of the various battalions were all leading their own camp guards, constantly changing formation, attacking, defending, and conducting combat exercises under the command of Xiao Yi Jin.

Even Xiao Yi Jin didn't expect that the annual military parade would be brought forward to today.

However, on a whim, the Emperor suddenly requested to be brought forward. He could not imagine that he could claim that he was not ready just because he was half a month ahead of schedule.

After all, the entire imperial camp was the main force that was protecting the safety of the capital. They had to be on guard at all times, and from time to time, there would even be scouting parties on a small scale.

The emperor slightly lowered his head to show that he was satisfied, but he didn't say any words of praise.

From the bottom of his heart, Xiao Yijin could be said to have commanded the troops in an orderly fashion.

Ever since Xiao Yi Jin had taken over the army four years ago, although he had maintained his position and carried out the military's orders fairly well, he was still far off from the army camp that Xiao Yi Xiu had led.

The emperor sighed in his heart. In terms of strategy and talent, Xiao Yijin wouldn't be able to match up to Xiao Yi Xiu even in twenty years. As for politics... He narrowed his eyes slightly.

If Xiao Yi Xiu had become the crown prince, his prestige would have far surpassed his own. He was afraid that the ministers in the imperial court would support him and he would give up the throne.

The emperor had been just over a hundred years old, and before the poisoning, he had been physically strong and had always thought he could live over a hundred years. If he had such an outstanding Crown Prince who had the hearts of the people, how would he be able to hold his ground for the remaining fifty years?

He couldn't. Even though Xiao Yijin's strategic skills were far inferior to Xiao Yixiu's, he still felt more secure leaving the commander in charge of the army to him. After all, at present, Xiao Yijin actually did not control the entire imperial camp. Lu Linghui was still the emperor's own man, so he had the advance military strength review this time.

"Change formation, left wing of the Winged Tiger Camp …" "The right wing of the Pingxin Battalion has been outflanked and the middle section has been broken through …" Xiao Yijin also went up onto the platform. He looked down with a smile on his face. He felt that the Emperor should be very satisfied with this military parade.
