On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Cheng Fengyao's mind went blank for a moment.

She never imagined that Huo Changxu was actually the younger brother of Prince Zhennan.

Yan Ruyu clearly saw her shock and shook her head secretly, thinking it was so stupid and ridiculous.

"It was a coincidence that you accidentally saw the courtesan asking a doctor for advice and learned that she was suffering from a terminal illness. Thus, a bold plan formed in your mind."

Governor Cao was surprised: "Princess, what you mean is that the Oiran is..."

"Yes, she had a tumor in her brain and didn't have much time left. So when Changxu pushed her gently, she deliberately fell down and hit her head, causing the tumor in her brain to rupture and she died."

Everyone in and out of the hall was listening attentively, unaware that such a thing could actually happen.

Cheng Fengyao's heart was pounding as she came back to her senses from the shock and surprise she had just experienced. She refused to admit it.

"Princess, you said you weren't using your power to bully people. How could you make up such a story to accuse me of something? What about a tumor in the brain? What about him falling to the ground and dying? You really don't know what I'm talking about."

Cheng Fengyao bowed to Governor Cao, then turned around and saluted the people outside the hall.

"I am a humble girl, and my family has no power or influence. I have suffered such injustice today. I hope everyone will bear witness to this."

"If I really did this, then..."

Yan Ruyu smiled, her cold eyes piercing her eyes: "So what? Go on."

"If you are really wrong about this, ask her to come and talk to you every night. Do you dare?"

Cheng Fengyao's heart trembled: "Why are you looking for me? Her death has nothing to do with me."

"Well, since you are sure it has nothing to do with you, then I will perform an autopsy on the spot and open her head so that you can see it with your own eyes."

There was silence at first, everyone stared with wide eyes, and then discussions broke out.

"Did I hear correctly? The princess said she wanted to open the head?"

"Oh my god, this is possible?"

"It would be impossible for others, but it should be no problem for Princess. Have you forgotten that the guard in the Princess's Mansion had his arm broken, and it was Princess who reattached it."

"Yes, the princess is the reincarnation of a miracle doctor."

"We are finally here today, and it will be an eye-opener."

Cheng Fengyao's heart was beating like a drum. She was not excited, but nervous.

At this moment, someone outside came to report: "Sir, the body of the deceased has been brought back."

"Bring it up!"

The corpse was placed in the hall. Yan Ruyu lifted the white cloth and said, "If you are still alive, please take a good look. The person who deceived you doesn't even dare to admit it. Do you still expect her to do what she promised you?"

"If you're unwilling, go find her at night."

Cheng Fengyao felt cold all over and did not dare to look at the dead person.

A barely perceptible smile flashed across Yan Ruyu's eyes.

Governor Cao saw the opportunity and slammed the gavel: "Do you confess or not?"

Cheng Fengyao: "I..."

"Sir," Cui Chong said loudly, "two outsiders have come as witnesses."

"pass!"

There were two witnesses, one was a doctor from the clinic and the other was an old woman.

The witness came to court to greet him, and the silver ingots came again.

"Sir, there is another piece of evidence."

The evidence presented was the doctor's diagnosis and prescription.

"Sir, this evidence was found in Miss Cheng's room." Yinding said loudly.

The doctor said, "Yes, sir, I did treat this girl."

The old woman cried, "She is my granddaughter. It was all because of me that I didn't protect her when she was little. She was kidnapped and sold into a brothel. I finally found her and reunited with her, but she said she was sick again."

"In order to allow me to have money for my old age, she..."

The old woman burst into tears, and everyone sighed when they heard it.

At this point, Cheng Fengyao had no more excuses.

"Cheng Fengyao, you instigated deception and caused someone to commit suicide. This is really despicable!" Governor Cao said angrily, "I want to arrest you immediately."

Cheng Fengyao turned pale, raised her head and screamed, "No, no!"

She ran to "Huo Changxu" and said in a shrill, crazy voice: "Marry me, you marry me, I am doing this for you, as long as you marry me, I will tell you a big secret."

Zhao Yan was stunned and didn't want to pay attention to her. He didn't know whether the big secret she told would be helpful to the princess.

He subconsciously looked at Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu said calmly: "Cheng Fengyao, you have the courage to confess your guilt. Don't be so mysterious."

Cheng Fengyao showed a strange smile on her face and lowered her voice: "Princess, I am not being mysterious, I am telling the truth."

"Don't you want to know about the cult?" She said firmly, "Isn't it the duty of the King of Zhennan to protect the people? If the cult is about to revive, will he just ignore it?"

Yan Ruyu remained calm, but she was somewhat confused.

Huo Changhe just came back from Shencheng and brought back news about the Red Lotus Sect and a portrait of its leader. Cheng Fengyao mentioned the evil cult again. Could they be referring to the same one?

"What kind of cult is this? I've never heard of it."

Cheng Fengyao spoke each word with emphasis: "Red, Lotus, Religion."

"I don't believe that Your Majesty has not heard of it."

Yan Ruyu stared at her for a long while: "This princess has never been coerced by anyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Governor Cao ordered: "Come here, arrest him!"

"Quit."

With the order to adjourn the court, the people left one after another.

It is common that the trial cannot be completed in one session and another session is held to review the details and announce the verdict on a later date.

Although there is no final result today, this matter is enough for them to talk about for a long time.

Governor Cao dismissed his attendants, and Yinding and Zhao Yan guarded the door. Huo Changhe also came in from outside.

The three of them faced Cheng Fengyao.

Cheng Fengyao showed a triumphant smile on her face: "I said, the prince still cares about me."

Huo Changhe didn't say anything, Cheng Fengyao continued: "My Lord, I can tell you the news, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

"Tell me about it," Yan Ruyu took over.

Cheng Fengyao raised her hand and ruffled her hair: "Princess, I admit that I am inferior to you. I don't want to compete with you anymore. I can't win against you either."

"I just don't understand. The prince will take a concubine sooner or later. How can he stay with you alone? Instead of looking for someone else in the future, why not choose me? I am young and beautiful, and I am suppressed by you. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Huo Changhe looked disgusted. He had never hated a woman so much.

Just as he was about to refute the rebuke, Yan Ruyu patted his arm.

There is no point in arguing with such a person.

Cheng Fengyao glanced outside and said, "It doesn't matter if the princess really can't tolerate me. Then let me marry the second young master."

"Is this okay? I can't influence the princess."

Huo Changhe was so angry that he almost laughed. What did this woman think of as a son of the Huo family? Let her choose who she wanted?

After listening to this, Yan Ruyu asked, "Anything else?"

"Only this one condition, let me enter the palace and marry anyone."

"As long as you agree, I can tell you what a cult is."

Yan Ruyu said nonchalantly: "Cheng Fengyao, you are planning too well. The people in the two northwest cities have heard about the Red Lotus Sect. Do you want to marry into the palace just by talking nonsense now?"

"I'm not saying this randomly," Cheng Fengyao glanced at Huo Changhe, "The Red Lotus Sect was wiped out before, but now it's starting to reappear."

"Could it be that I am wrong?"
