Princess Erya's figure swayed and she fell to the ground uncontrollably. The Gu insects in the wooden box were dead, and the room was filled with a thick smell of blood, overwhelming.
Using witchcraft to control people's minds, even if it is only for a moment, is still too reluctant. However, it would be enough to completely obliterate Fang Zilan.
A smile escaped from Princess Erya's lips, she pulled out the suicide note she had prepared, forced herself to sit up, and placed it on the desk.
The banging sound outside the door was accompanied by shouting, but Princess Erya felt as if her ears were covered by a cloth, and she could not hear clearly, and her eyes were also dark.
Finally, it has come to an end...
"Erya!" After Di Rong's guards opened the door, the cousin was the first to rush in. However, the person lying in a pool of blood had his eyes closed and was lifeless.
"Princess!"
"Princess Erya!"
Amidst the shouts and cries, someone didn't know who saw the suicide note and handed it to Envoy Di Rong.
After Di Rongzheng envoy read Princess Erya's suicide note, he looked solemn and immediately asked to enter the palace to meet Li Shengxuan.
When the news came to the palace, King Rong'an was trembling and crying to Li Shengxuan. Xie Yanping stood aside and listened quietly. The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
No matter how domineering Fang Zilan is, she will never commit murder in a busy city, let alone at the feet of the emperor in the capital?
But now there are many pairs of eyes that can see it clearly, especially Fang Zilan's cousin Mo Han is also present. Just now Xie Yanping avoided everyone and asked him quietly. His silent attitude said everything. Even he believed that Fang Zilan was the murderer. .
From this point of view, the facts of the case are clear, but the motive behind the murder is not so clear, and it may not be easy to deal with it.
Sure enough, after Li Shengxuan heard this, he did not deal with it directly, but ordered someone to invite envoy Di Rong in.
Upon seeing this, King Rongan did not leave, but stood aside and wept silently. Li Shengxuan couldn't drive him away, so he let him stand in the hall.
"Your Majesty, our Princess Erya committed suicide in the post house and left a suicide note. Please ask your Majesty to read it." As soon as Di Rong entered the palace, he knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Your Majesty Your Majesty, the Duke of Yue State, has oppressed our Princess Erya to this point, please ask your Majesty to seek justice!"
After the murder of Princess Rongan, another extremely huge crime was placed on Fang Zilan's head.
Li Shengxuan felt a headache when he heard it, but he calmly said a few words of comfort on his face, and then ordered Xiahou Zhang to present Princess Erya's suicide note.
He looked over at a glance, and before he could say anything, he heard Di Rongzheng envoy filled with righteous indignation: "The Duke of Yue State in your dynasty was dissatisfied with Princess Erya's divination at the banquet, so he went to the posthouse to treat Erya the next day. The princess spoke harshly to her, and then the medical lady in the palace slandered Princess Erya, and her attempt to assassinate her failed. After being imprisoned, Master Fang felt dissatisfied, so he came to the post house again and asked to see Princess Erya, which made Princess Erya panic and uneasy. Take your life..."
Di Rong was speaking and suddenly raised his voice, "Your Majesty, since I, Di Rong's tribe, have attached themselves to the capital, I believe that your majesty can protect us. However, something happened to Princess Erya right now in the post house in the capital. , no matter how insignificant I, Di Rong, am, I will fight for fairness for her!"
Hearing this, Li Shengxuan raised his head, his eyes were deep, and he said calmly and confidently: "Major Di Rong, are you threatening me?"
"Of course I don't dare." Di Rongzheng knelt straight and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Everyone in my department believes that Your Majesty is wise and will definitely make the decision for Princess Erya."
Call the shots? Li Shengxuan sneered secretly. With such a made-up suicide note, he wanted to slander the Duke of Yue in the capital. This wishful thinking of Di Rong's Ministry was really great, but...
Thinking of this, Li Shengxuan glanced at King Rongan with the corner of his eye. If Princess Rongan had not been killed, he would have dismissed the envoy Di Rong without hesitation. But now both cases are aimed at Fang Zilan. It seemed that he had planned it in advance, and he was afraid that he had a back-up plan and would not let Fang Zilan escape easily.
"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, do you still want to protect Fang Zilan?" No one expected that King Rong'an suddenly rushed into the palace, knelt down beside the envoy Di Rong regardless, and said side by side: "If we are not severely punished, Not only will it chill the hearts of the people in the southeast, but it will also ruin the relationship between our dynasty and Di Rong’s tribe, Your Majesty!"
Li Shengxuan's hand holding the suicide note couldn't help but tighten. He almost gritted his teeth and said, "Xie Qing, bring Yue Duke Fang Zilan to see me."
Xie Yanping took the order and left, and soon appeared in the palace with Fang Zilan. She stood on the other side of the envoy Di Rong and bowed slowly, with an indifferent expression.
When King Rong'an saw Fang Zilan, he stood up immediately, his face full of resentment that he wanted to skin her and cramp her, but her face was so calm that no waves could be seen.
Until Li Shengxuan's voice sounded faintly, "Fang Zilan, King Rongan has accused you of killing his daughter, Princess Rongan. Do you admit to this crime?"
"I admit it." Two words without hesitation spread throughout the entire hall clearly.
Li Shengxuan stood up suddenly and looked steadily at the person standing as straight as a pine tree below, "Envoy Di Rong claimed that Princess Erya committed suicide because you were forced to commit suicide. Do you admit this crime?"
"I don't recognize it." Fang Zilan looked down at the envoy Di Rong beside him, his eyes as sharp as a knife, "Princess Erya practiced witchcraft with the intention of overthrowing our capital. Fortunately, your majesty has great blessings and the kingdom of Dajing is long. This prevented his evil plan from succeeding. Why, you dare not admit that Princess Erya died due to the backlash of the witchcraft, so you want to blame it all on me? "
"Your Majesty the Duke of Yue, you are so slanderous!" Di Rong was getting angry. On the other side, King Rong'an was about to speak up, when Fang Zilan shouted sharply, "Your Majesty, even if the death of the princess is a state matter, it has nothing to do with foreigners. . Since I have confessed my crime, I want to be killed or beheaded. As long as your majesty says a word, I will do as you wish."
King Rong'an's expression was stagnant. Fang Zilan's words were obviously reminding him not to confuse family affairs with state affairs. Di Rong's envoy is still in the palace. At this time, they should unanimously speak to the outside world, and it will not be too late to settle the accounts afterwards.
But the hatred for killing his daughter is irreconcilable. If he doesn't let go of the evil in his heart, how can he be worthy of being a father?
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Yue has indeed made great contributions to the country, but does this become the reason for her arrogance and contempt for the power of heaven?" Prince Rong'an burst into tears, "Although my little girl is not talented, she is still willing to fight against the plague. She went there alone. In the southeast, she has contributed a lot. Even if she is not as good as Mr. Fang, she is enough to make me proud..."
Li Shengxuan didn't listen to the rest of the words. From the beginning to the end, he only had Fang Zilan in his eyes. As long as she said something negative, he would investigate for her without hesitation, even exposing the true face of King Rongan and the lies of the princess.
But she didn't. She admitted it frankly and without any excuse. She didn't even care about the cost of her life...
Yet, he cares.
