"Feng Xue, listen carefully, when we arrive at the court later, you should know what to say and what not to say. You must know in your heart that as long as you send Duan Mu Yan to prison, I can guarantee that you and Cui Xin will be rich with me in the future!" Su Jin's long, shapely eyebrows slightly frowned. Her words were filled with seduction. Perplexity.
"Don't worry Madam, Feng Xue and Cui Xin naturally know what to do." Feng Xue slightly nodded, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed at the bottom of her heart.
In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Wu Bingcheng was sitting upright, his sharp eyes swept across everyone in the hall. After pondering for a long time, he slowly picked up the wooden beam.
"Who was the one who sounded the injustice?" Wu Bingcheng snapped coldly.
"My lord, it was this wangfei who beat the drum and accused this slut of killing the Qi King!" Duan Muyan stood upright, her countenance as cold as a frozen lake. Wu Bingcheng couldn't help but shudder. He never expected that the Qi King would be dead.
"The Qi King is dead? What was the reason for this? The wangfei rushed over! Someone come, give a seat to the wangfei. " While Wu Bingcheng was still in shock, he sized up Duan Mu Yan. The current her was completely different from the one before. Her unyielding attitude was completely different from before.
"It's a simple matter, today is the day for Qi Wang to accept her as his concubine, after visiting the hall, Qi Wang felt deeply ashamed of himself, so after sending Su Jinxiu into the bridal room, he went to my room, and just as he was about to speak, Su Jinxiu changed into a maid and went to my room. In order to avoid Su Jinxiu's wild thoughts, Qi Wang decided to temporarily hide in the room, but who would have known that Su Jin Xiu came this time to assassinate this wangfei. When Su Jinxiu saw that the matter was exposed, she steeled her heart and threw the spark along with the fuel to this wangfei. In desperation, the Qi King was saved by the Qi King himself, and this wangfei was also saved by the maidservant Min. Each of Duan Moyan's words was like ice, her voice sonorous and forceful, each word was akin to the fresh blood of Xiao Jingfeng, causing one's heart to ache uncontrollably. At this moment, all Duan Moyan could think of was the scene of Xiao Lingfeng blocking the fuel for her.
"No …" Lord, it's not like that. It's Duan Muyan, she's the one who went crazy, killed the Qi King in his room, and burned his corpse to ashes! From start to finish, this little one has been in the bridal room and has never left it! " Su Jin Xiu's tears fell like rain as she glared fiercely at Duan Mu Yan.
"Su Jin Xiu, you said that you didn't go out in the bridal room, does anyone have any proof?" Wu Bingcheng did not receive any orders from the higher-ups. After the First Prince passed away, there were rumors in the palace that the Emperor's attitude towards the Third Princess had drastically changed. Now that the Qi King was dead, there was no one left to protect Su Jin Xiu.
"Yes!" Feng Xue and Cui Xin can both prove that at the time of the incident, they were guarding the brocade room. " In her opinion, Feng Xue and Cui Xin definitely wouldn't betray her.
"Pass on the phoenix snow, Emerald Heart!" Wu Bingcheng tapped on the wooden board, and before long, Feng Xue and Cui Xin were pushed to the front of the hall by yamen runners. Seeing Wu Bingcheng sitting upright in front of the table, they both fell to their knees.
"Both of you, listen carefully. If you lie in the hall, you will be punished. Now, let me ask you two, at that time, Su Jin Xiu was in the bridal room the whole time. She never went out?" Wu Bingcheng pinched his voice with a bit of power.
"This …" Cui Xin subconsciously looked at Su Jin Xiu, but Feng Xue, who was at the side, immediately raised her head and opened her cherry lips.
In reply to the lord, Su Jin Xiu is lying. Less than half a cup of tea after the Qi King sent her to the bridal chamber, she already wanted me to exchange clothes with her, and she even forced me to not go out no matter what happened. Feng Xue turned to look at Cui Xin, and silently pounded her heart.
"That's right, master. Su Jinxiu had indeed left the bridal room. When she returned, the secondary wife's room was on fire." At this point, Cui Xin could only protect herself.
"You all … Lord! Embroidery is unjustly accused … They had been bewitched by Duan Mu Yan and they were slandering him! "May sire investigate …" Her eyes were wide open as she looked incredulously at Feng Xue and Cui Xin. All her hopes had been shattered at this moment. She had never expected Feng Xue and Cui Xin to stab her at such a crucial moment.
"Shut your mouth. Whether it was wronged or not, this official will find out. Feng Xue, you said that Su Jin Xiu had changed clothes with you at the time of the crime. Is there any evidence?" Wu Bingcheng cleared his throat and asked suspiciously.
"Reporting to Milord, because she is a concubine of the Qi King, Feng Xue's clothes were just changed this morning. Furthermore, she has been smoked with the scent of roses for the entire night, if Milord does not believe me, you can send someone to smell Madam Su's clothes. Because this little one is wearing them, they will also remain with the scent of roses." Feng Xue was filled with confidence as a bright light flashed in her eyes.
When Su Jin Xiu heard that, she immediately lowered her eyes and took a sniff at her wedding dress. There was indeed a faint scent of roses, how could it be like this?! Su Jinxiu slumped against the ground, feeling flustered and anxious in her heart. If not for someone ordering her, Feng Xue wouldn't have such thoughts. As she thought up to this point, Su Jin Xiu suddenly looked towards Duan Mu Yan, and saw her bloodthirsty eyes glaring fiercely at her.
"It's Duan Mu Yan!" It was Duan Mu Yan who used Feng Xue and Cui Xin to frame this lowly one. Master, you have to help this lowly one! " No wonder she was so kind to help him and the Qi King. So the entire matter had turned out to be a trap, a trap that Duan Moyan had set up for him.
"You did not wrongly nor wronged … This official will judge, you cannot speak anymore. Cui Xin, everything Feng Xue said is true, does Madam Su really want to change clothes with Feng Xue after entering the bridal room, and then sneak out?" Wu Bingcheng questioned sternly.
"Milord, everything Feng Xue said is true, this servant will guarantee it with my life." Cui Xin said firmly. At this moment, Su Jin Xiu was at her wit's end.
"Master, Jin Xiu admitted that she did leave the bridal chamber when the incident occurred, and did indeed change clothes with Feng Xue. If it wasn't for that, she wouldn't have insisted that Duan Mu Yan had killed her master, because at that time, Jin Yan and Qi Wang were at the scene and when Duan Mu Yan and Qi Wang disagreed, they wanted to throw the fuel and fire they had prepared beforehand towards Feng Xue. Burned alive by her! Duan Mu Yan … "You jealous woman …" Su Jin couldn't stop wailing and bellowing. If she could, she really wanted to tear Duan Mu Yan into pieces.
"How dare you!" How could the court dare to be so presumptuous! Qi Wangfei, I ask you, is there any fabrication to Su Jinxiu's words? " Upon seeing this scene, Su Jin Xiu knew that the situation had changed. Right now, her only hope was for Duan Zitong. As long as she didn't admit it, she believed that Duan Zitong would come save her.
"Reporting to Sir, Su Jin Xiu is just nonsense. Regarding this, This Wangfei will always prove it. Now, please send someone to search Su Jin's room and bridal room, we will definitely find something. " Wu Bingcheng thought for a moment before instructing the bailiff to make a trip to the Xiao Residence.
She did all that she could think of, not counting the fact that Su Jinxiu had tried to kill her. According to her prediction, Su Jinxiu would also be punished, but now, she had to pay a price of one life to Xiao Lingfeng for no reason. She hated herself for being so secretive, and hated Su Jinxiu for being so venomous.
After about an hour, the bailiff placed all the fire and fuel in front of the hall.
"Sir, these items were found in Su Jin's room!" After the bailiff left, Wu Bingcheng looked at Su Jin Xiu.
"Madam Su, do you still have anything else to say? Now that all the witnesses and witnesses are present, are you willing to admit your wrongs?" Wu Bingcheng didn't want to pursue this matter any further. No matter what, there must be someone responsible for the death of the Qi King. And this person definitely wasn't Duan Moyan.
"Unjustly accused …" Master, the brocade was wrongly accused! " How could Su Jin Xiu admit her wrongs and cry out her grievances.
"What a stubborn servant girl, someone come!" The staff will serve, and the first twenty slabs will be served! " With a 'whoosh', Wu Bingcheng threw the chips from the bamboo tube onto the ground. The yamen runners on both sides immediately stepped forward, and forcefully pressed Su Jin Xiu down onto the ground with their staff in their hands.
"Stop! You can't hit me! My stomach is the only flesh and blood of the Qi King! You can't hit me! "Go away..." She looked at everyone in the hall with a frightened expression. For the sake of the child in her womb, she had killed Xiao Jingfeng mercilessly. If she could not protect this child now, then what was the point in her living!
"Child?" Wu Bingcheng frowned slightly. If Su Jinxiu was really pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Qi King, she really couldn't afford to fight. She didn't need to look at the face of a monk to see if she would be able to fight the Buddha or not; once the Qi King was dead, not a single heir would remain.
"Nonsense, my lord. Su Jin Xiu only wanted to avoid being caned. That's why she's lying!" Duan Moyan coldly spoke, her voice as cold as ice.
"About this …" Su Jin Xiu! I'll ask you one last time. Are you guilty? Or do you not accept it? " Wu Bingcheng snapped.
"No!" Lord, I was wrongly accused! I want to see the Seventh Princess! " Su Jinxiu saw that her power was gone. Now, in order to protect her child, she had no choice but to mention Duan Zitong.
"How dare you! The princess has a body of gold. How can you see her so easily? Someone, come and beat me up!" Wu Bingcheng hardened his heart. If he brought Seventh Princess in again, this case would become even more complicated.
Just as the bailiff was about to make his move, Qing Lan's voice suddenly sounded from outside the hall.
"Seventh Princess, you're here …" Hearing her voice, Duan Mu Yan pursed her lips as a glint of light flickered in the depths of her eyes.
"Princess?" Off to the side, Yao'er anxiously asked.
"It's fine. Even if royal father comes, Su Jinzhu will definitely die." Duan Mu Yan lowered her gaze as she spoke, her gaze sweeping past Su Jin Xiu. Upon seeing her pleasantly surprised expression, she understood in her heart.
In the main hall, when Wu Bingcheng saw Duan Zitong walking in dressed in luxurious clothing, he immediately stood up to greet him and bent down to pay her respects.
"This humble subject Wu Bingcheng pays his respect to Seventh Princess!" Wu Bingcheng had a face full of bowing and scraping as he spoke in an attentive manner.
"Forget it, I heard that something happened to the Qi King. Third royal sister, are you alright?" Duan Zitong walked a few steps to Duan Mu Yan's side, pretending to be worried.
"Seventh royal sister, you're being considerate. Mu Yan is fine, it's just that the murderer has not been brought to justice. Mu Yan is truly ashamed to face the Qi King!" Duan Moyan's voice was ice-cold and without warmth, and her gaze was filled with malice as she stared at Su Jin Xiu.
"Seventh Princess, your servant was wrongly accused. It was not your servant who caused the death of the Qi King. It was obviously Duan Mu Yan who burned him to death!" "You have to make the decision for this servant …" Su Jin Xiu half knelt as she crawled in front of Duan Zitong. Her eyes were filled with hope and hope. At this moment, she could only place all her hopes on Duan Zitong for a chance of survival.
