The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

Fang Yuwei chuckled, "So you mean that I went back to kill Concubine Xiao? I have no grudge against her, why would I want to harm her?"

At this time, Wang Peiru stood in front of Bilu and said sarcastically, "As for whether you have returned or not, only heaven and earth know. Why do you have to ask a little maid?"

Then she turned to look at Mo Yanli and said, "Your Highness, after Bilu left, only my sister and her personal maid were with Concubine Xiao. My sister is worth a lot of money, so why don't we capture Chenxiang and interrogate her slowly in the Dali Temple? I believe that she will tell the truth under the torture in the Dali Temple.

If she still refuses to change her confession after being tortured, it will prove that the Crown Princess has nothing to do with this matter, and it will also clear my sister’s name.”

After hearing this, Fang Yuwei's face suddenly changed, and a piercing chill burst out from her eyes. She knew that Wang Peiru was a very petty person. Chenxiang had just offended her. If Chenxiang was allowed to enter the Dali Temple, he would not be able to come out alive easily.

"Wang Liang Di is really unscrupulous in order to achieve her goal, but even if she tortures Chen Xiang severely, the final result will only force him to confess. How can she convince the public?"

Just as the two were arguing with each other, the coroner brought another shocking news.

"Your Highness, Concubine Xiao's belly is slightly bulging, so she must be pregnant."

As soon as these words fell, there was an uproar all around.

If Concubine Xiao was pregnant, then this would not be a simple crime of murder, but a serious crime of plotting to murder the royal heir, and she should be punished by death.

Mo Yanli seemed to be unable to believe it. He confirmed again: "Are you serious?"

The coroner said confidently: "I dare not speak rashly, the concubine is indeed one month pregnant."

Before everyone recovered from the shock, they saw the coroner take off the gold bracelet on Xiao Yuhuai's wrist. The bracelet was finely crafted, with a pair of mandarin ducks carved on it. The most important thing was that the mandarin ducks' eyes were inlaid with millet pearls, which looked lifelike.

Then the coroner picked off the millet beads from the mandarin duck one by one.

Mo Yanli frowned slightly, looking puzzled: "What is this for?"

The coroner took the millet pearls in his hand and smelled them again. After confirming, he replied solemnly: "Your Highness, these millet pearls are nothing special, but someone soaked them in musk for 49 days. If women wear this bracelet for a long time, it will cause infertility. Even if they get pregnant by chance, there will be a risk of miscarriage, so..."

At this moment, Mo Yanli's body exuded a chill as cold as an ice cave, and he roared angrily: "So what? Say it!"

Seeing this, the coroner knelt on the ground with his legs weak, and replied tremblingly: "So even if Concubine Xiao is still alive, if she wears this bracelet for a long time, the fetus in her belly will not be saved."

In an instant, the atmosphere froze again, and the air was like a taut string, ready to explode at any moment.

All the palace people knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, please calm down."

Wang Peiru saw the prince was furious, and a trace of gloating flashed across her eyes, "Your Highness, this bracelet was given to Concubine Xiao by the Crown Princess on the day she first entered the palace, and she also gave one to me. Many servants saw this."

Wang Peiru's personal maid also hurriedly agreed: "Liang Di is right, I saw it with my own eyes."

Bilu also chimed in: "Your servant, I also saw it with my own eyes. This bracelet was given to my concubine by the Crown Princess."

Mo Yanli's face was filled with anger, and his blood was boiling. He raised his hand and slapped Fang Yuwei hard in the face. Fang Yuwei immediately flew out like a kite with a broken string.

"Bitch, what else do you have to say?"

Chenxiang hurried over, half-knelt down and helped his master up: "Ah, Madam."

Fang Yuwei's expression froze, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I did not kill Concubine Xiao, let alone the child in her belly. As for the musk beads on the bracelet, I was even more unaware of it."

Wang Peiru was extremely proud and looked at Fang Yuwei provocatively, continuing to fan the flames: "Your Highness, the concubine died tragically, and there was also that unborn child. When I mentioned that child, I thought of my own child. It's really... woo woo..."

After Mo Yanli heard what Wang Peiru said, he felt even more upset. How could he not be heartbroken when he lost two unborn children within a year?

He looked at Fang Yuwei with disgust and said sternly, "Come here, take off her Crown Princess's clothes and take her to the Dali Temple. I will deal with her after I report to my father, the emperor and my mother."

Fang Yuwei looked at Mo Yanli with grief and anger as he had a cold face. Her heart ached as if it was being cut by a knife. She did not defend herself anymore and she looked like a doll without a soul.

Chenxiang crawled to the prince on his knees, hugged his legs and begged: "Your Highness, you can't do this to the queen. The queen is kind by nature. She will never do such a vicious thing."

But before Mo Yanli could finish her words, he kicked her away in disgust.

puff--

The next second, blood spurted out of Chenxiang's mouth.

Fang Yuwei finally regained some consciousness when she saw her maid was injured, "Chenxiang, Chenxiang, how are you?"

Chen Xiang tried his best to force a smile: "My Lady, don't worry, I'm fine."

Wang Peiru looked at this scene of deep affection between master and servant with annoyance, and said sarcastically: "Who are you to dare to beg for mercy? You are the personal maid of the Crown Princess, and I believe you are also involved in this matter. Then you should go to the Dali Temple with your master."

"Wait!"

A clear female voice sounded.
