The Crown Princess is reborn, and the three treasures compete to burn the family tree

Chapter 38 If you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose the rice.

"I don't know."

Jiang Li put Chu Mingzhao down, she stood up and faced the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have a few questions. I entered the palace at 3:00 pm, and the princess entered at 1:00 pm. How did I meet this palace maid in advance and ask her to lead the princess to the peach blossom forest?"

Her light voice echoed in the palace, like a few hard slaps on the emperor's face.

The emperor, the empress, Xie Yan and the palace maids all turned green.

Their design is indeed good, but the biggest flaw is time.

The palace maid first led Chu Mingzhao to the pavilion and prepared to drug Chu Mingzhao so as to put the blame on Jiang Li before the banquet began.

But who would have thought that Chu Mingzhao was not fooled at all. She followed him to the peach blossom forest, but did not touch anything, and finally left early.

This caused their plan to fail.

Jiang Li remained calm and asked, "May I ask this palace maid how I was able to travel from the peach blossom forest to the Ziyi side hall and back in just half an hour, and still allow you to obtain the golden-threaded white-browed mountain camellia?"

"The whole plant of Camellia chinensis can be used as medicine and is worth a fortune. It is hard to come by."

Chu Mingzhao also followed up on Jiang Li's words and looked at the palace servant coldly, "Do you really think this flower can be found casually?"

The truth is self-evident.

"Your Majesty, please understand that today they can slander and frame a person like me who is insignificant, and assassinate the Princess of Prince Yong in public."

Jiang Li looked up at the emperor, smiling, "If the villain has evil intentions in the future, it will be bad for Your Majesty. That will shake the foundation of the country and put the country in danger!"

As she spoke, she bowed deeply to the emperor and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly, catch the real culprit, and set things right!"

Xie Yan's face turned pale, and the palace maids were trembling all over, unable to control themselves due to fear. The emperor's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

In just a few words, Jiang Li turned the tables.

It caught them off guard!

"Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly!"

Chu Mingzhao also stood up and stood beside Jiang Li, like a little adult.

"Restore the Crown Princess' innocence and arrest the real culprit behind this!"

The seriousness of this matter has risen from murdering the princess and framing the Yongning Marquis's wife to murdering the emperor.

It's impossible for the emperor to keep things quiet!

All the officials and ladies present knew clearly that the emperor was trying to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice.

They had no choice but to stand up and follow Chu Mingzhao and say in unison: "Your Majesty, please conduct a thorough investigation!"

The act of plotting to murder the emperor is a very serious matter. If they don't speak out, the censors and historians will record it tomorrow!

The emperor had a gloomy face. Could it be that he was going to investigate this matter?

He looked at the palace maid who was changing the flowers and said sternly, "Who ordered you to murder the princess and slander the Crown Prince's wife?"

"Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

The palace maid who was changing the flowers showed despair on her face, and she rushed over to snatch the poison from the imperial physician.

She swallowed it in one gulp and immediately vomited blood.

"Yes, it was this servant who was ordered by the Crown Prince's Consort!"

After shouting, he fell straight down and landed directly on Xie Yan.

"Ah! Help! Help!"

Xie Yan's limbs had already gone limp with fear. She screamed and pushed the palace maid away, but failed to move her away. Instead, she was covered in the black blood that the palace maid kept vomiting out.

"Pull her away quickly!"

The queen shouted coldly, and several palace maids suddenly woke up from their dreams and quickly pulled away the palace maid who was changing flowers.

The imperial physician stepped forward and felt the pulse, then said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the Queen is dead."

He would never admit to being the murderer.

The hall was completely silent. It turned out that the poison was real and the effects would take place very quickly.

Just one or two words and he died.

It also directly proved from the side that what Jiang Li and Chu Mingzhao said was correct, and Jiang Li was innocent.

Jiang Li remained expressionless, having expected this result.

The people behind this palace maid are the emperor and imperial concubine Jiang Tan.

The only way left for her was death.

And Xie Yan has now become the only breakthrough point.

Everyone's eyes were on Xie Yan, but Xie Yan was still being stubborn.

"Your Majesty! Jiang Li must have threatened her! She is trying to prove her loyalty by dying!"

She bit Jiang Li tightly, "Your Majesty, please look into this!"

"Your Majesty, we found real white camellia flowers in the palace maid's room, as well as her private letters with Xie Yan."

The guards who had gone to search the palace ladies' bedrooms when the incident happened also returned to the palace.

"The palace maid's name is Yuqin, and she is from the same hometown as the criminal Su Lin. Because Su Lin's death was related to the Crown Prince's Consort, Yuqin held a grudge and colluded with Xie Yan, intending to murder Princess Mingzhao and then put the blame on the Crown Prince's Consort."

The letter and normal camellia were presented to the emperor and the empress, and the guards' voices echoed throughout the hall.

The emperor only glanced at the letter and saw fresh ink marks on it, which showed that it was newly made.

But this letter is enough.

The emperor slammed his hand on the table and stared down at Xie Yan.

"Xie Yan, you are so bold that you dare to murder the princess!"

Xie Yan’s mind buzzed. Jiang Tan gave up on her and wanted her and the palace maids to be scapegoats!

"Your Majesty! I don't have any! I don't even know who Yuqin is!"

Xie Yan was so frightened that she simply climbed and bit Jiang Tan.

"Yes, it was the Imperial Concubine! It was the Imperial Concubine who asked me to frame the Crown Prince's Concubine! It was the Imperial Concubine who asked someone to give me this medicine!"

At most, she is an accomplice, she is not the murderer!

"How dare you! You still don't repent until now! You even want to slander the imperial concubine again!"

The emperor was furious. "Come here, Xie Yan falsely accused the Crown Prince's wife and plotted to murder the princess! Drag her out, give her fifty strokes of the cane and banish her from the palace, and never allow her to enter the palace again!"

Since Xie Yan doesn't know what's tactful, he will help her to know what's tactful!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I am innocent!"

Xie Yan couldn't understand why things had turned out like this, and her screams of injustice were muffled by the guards.

After a while, the sound of beating was heard outside the hall.

If the person is beaten with the stick fifty times, he will basically be left with only a breath left if he doesn't die.

The emperor simply silenced him.

There was deathly silence in the hall.

Only Jiang Li looked normal, and she even had a smile on her face.

He bowed to the emperor on the throne and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"

It was clearly a praise to the emperor, but in the eyes of the emperor, it was a naked provocation!

The emperor had a tense face and stared at Jiang Li viciously, with a rage in his heart that he had no place to vent.

In today's incident, not only did Chu Mingzhao escape unscathed, his plan to send more people to Prince Yong's Mansion failed, and he almost got himself into trouble, killing Jiang Tan.

This is all because of her variable!

But he couldn't do anything to her now!

Because Jiang Li saved Princess Chu Mingzhao of Prince Yong's Mansion, the royal family has always relied on Prince Yong's Mansion.

Now not only can Jiang Li not be convicted, but he must also be rewarded heavily!

How can one be so frustrated!

The emperor gritted his teeth and held back his rage.

"The Crown Prince's Concubine has saved someone and will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

The other people in the hall finally came to their senses at this time and started shouting as well.

Even more worried.

The emperor couldn't bear it any longer, so he stood up and left the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

According to convention, the emperor and empress had to wait until the new god of flowers was selected, and personally order the new god to go to the temple of flowers to pray for blessings before they could leave.

Fortunately, the queen did not leave, and the Hundred Flowers Banquet continued after the commotion.

So calm as if nothing had happened.

But other places in the palace were in an uproar, including Concubine Mingzhu's palace.

"waste!"

Jiang Tan never expected that Jiang Li could make a comeback in such a situation. The opportunity was given to Xie Yan, and Xie Yan not only didn't kill Jiang Li but also got herself involved!
