Chapter 1889: Medicine Testing!
Jiang Zhennan and Prince Ping were summoned in. At the same time, the two assassins who had been brought in by the soldiers entered.
Jiang Zhennan held the little black bird in his arms.
When the Emperor saw this, his brows furrowed. He then asked sternly,” What’s going on? Didn’t I hand this case over to the Crown Prince? Why was he escorted to the palace again? Also, where did the Crown Prince and Princess Gu go?”
How could the Emperor not know what had happened on the way from the court to the palace?
He had the reports from his spies, so he was naturally clear about everything.
However, it was one thing to know and another to ask.
Jiang Zhennan reported,” Your Majesty, on the way here, the Crown Princess Consort suddenly disappeared from the Crown Prince’s residence. The Crown Prince rushed back to look for her, and Prince Gong was assassinated. The Princess of Guguo carried him back to the Lin Family Hospital for emergency treatment, so the two of them did not arrive in time!”
When the Emperor heard Jiang Zhennan’s report, his expression darkened even more. He asked sternly,” Why didn’t you interrogate them properly? Why did you suddenly send these two assassins to the palace?”
Without waiting for Jiang Zhennan to speak, Prince Ping suddenly said,” Imperial Brother, the Crown Princess Consort’s sudden disappearance must have something to do with Princess Lin Yuelan!”
When Jiang Zhennan heard this, his entire body emitted a sharp and cold aura. He said coldly,” Prince Ping, don’t speak nonsense without solid evidence! What did the disappearance of the Crown Princess Consort have to do with Princess Gu? You have to understand that before the Crown Princess Consort disappeared, Princess Guguo was always with us and never alone!”
Prince Ping said with conviction,” In the Crown Prince’s residence, we heard that the poison that Crown Princess Consort was poisoned by Princess Gu...”
” Prince Ping, please don’t slander my wife,” Jiang Zhennan shouted sternly.” The poison that the Crown Princess Consort was poisoned with has yet to be investigated. Please don’t pin the blame on Princess Guguo!”
Prince Ping said in disdain,” Hmph, even if Princess Gu didn’t personally poison it, it was her subordinates who did. Just because that subordinate coveted the position of Crown Prince. Therefore, even if the princess of Guguo did not know, she could not shirk responsibility. Great General, you should be very clear about how serious the crime of poisoning the Crown Princess Consort is. It might even implicate the entire Princess Manor and herself. Therefore, in order to prevent the Crown Prince from finding out the truth, she can only destroy all evidence from the source, right?”
“What?” When the Emperor heard this, his expression darkened, and he immediately became a little ugly. He was not angry but dignified, appearing even more fierce.” This matter must be investigated seriously!”
The matter of impersonating an identity, especially the matter of impersonating the emperor, was a major matter. It simply involved the crime of treason and could not be tolerated at all. Otherwise, the century-old Yuwen family might be destroyed in his hands.
Therefore, when he heard about this, he was furious.
He said to Jiang Zhennan,” Give him the medicine now!”
However, Prince Ping’s expression changed drastically when he heard this. He shouted in alarm,” Imperial Brother, you mustn’t!”
The Emperor’s expression turned ruthless as he shouted,” Prince Ping, do you have any objections?”
Prince Ping said fearfully,” Imperial Brother, we don’t know if this medicine is really the truth pill. What if it’s poison?”
Jiang Zhennan retorted sharply,” Prince Ping, why do we need to feed them poison? What good would it do us to poison them? Besides, if we really wanted them dead, why would Princess Guguo and I stop the assassins when they arrived? Prince Ping, please pay attention to evidence when you speak. Otherwise, if you speak nonsense in front of His Majesty, it can be determined as a crime of false accusation and deceiving the emperor!”
Prince Ping was unable to refute it for a moment, but he quickly defended himself.” Hmph, who knows if you’re just putting on an act in front of us to confuse us so that you can hide your intentions and goals.”
“You!” Jiang Zhennan was so angry that he almost laughed at Prince Ping’s pestering, but he immediately felt that there was no need to waste his breath on him. He took out three pills and said very seriously,” Your Majesty, before Princess Guguo gave me the medicine, she mentioned that some people might doubt the authenticity of this medicine. Therefore, she gave me one more pill so that I could let someone test the medicine first!” When he mentioned that there was someone, his gaze swept over Prince Ping.
Prince Ping was speechless. His expression was one of shock!
Eunuch Zhang was speechless. Slightly surprised!
The Emperor was speechless. It was really that girl’s style.
Looking at the three pills in Jiang Zhennan’s hand, he narrowed his eyes. He then picked one and said to Prince Ping,” Prince Ping, why don’t you try it?”
