Every time Xia Luotong said something, the expressions on the faces of the Xia family members became a little uglier. In the end, Xia Zhihe was the only one who could hold his own, while the others had already lowered their heads.
As for the reason, there is no need to say more. I am afraid that the panic on my face will be seen!
"I don't know the so-called drugstore owner, so how can I reminisce about the past?" Xia Zhihe said with a sullen face, "Besides, I have never given any medicine to the princess. The princess must provide evidence when she speaks!"
"As for the so-called servant, there was indeed a runaway slave in the house before, but it cannot be said that we gave the princess the killer medicine. Is it possible that just the words of a runaway slave can be used as testimony?"
Even the escaped slaves came out...
Xia Luotong's face was filled with coldness. She spoke slowly, her eyes piercing Xia Zhihe like a sharp sword.
"If I say that I still have physical evidence in my hand, does Mr. Xia have any other excuses?"
There is physical evidence? !
Xia Zhihe was really shocked now, his eyes widened instantly, with a look of disbelief on his face. How could there be physical evidence in Xia Luotong's hands? !
Now everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Luotong. Seeing her determined expression and Xia Zhihe's ugly face, they already had suspicions in their minds.
"What kind of physical evidence?" Xia Zhihe gritted his teeth.
"Master Xia, do you still remember the second time Xia Zhilu came to my door to drug me? At that time, she brought snacks specially made by Xia Mansion..."
Xia Zhihe's expression changed after hearing this. He didn't expect that Xia Luotong still kept those snacks!
"Although the food is no longer edible, the drugs in it can still be detected. I spent a lot of effort to preserve these snacks."
Xia Luotong suddenly showed a playful smile, "That thing is frozen in the ice cellar of the palace now, do you want me to send someone to fetch it?"
At this time, Xia Zhihe's face was no longer ugly, and he was even a little panicked!
This person has all the evidence, how can he refute it?
If it is confirmed that he gave Xia Luotong the killer drug, then his career will not be as simple as the end, he will definitely go to jail!
After all, Xia Luotong is now the royal wife! It’s not just as simple as the eldest daughter of the Xia family!
Xia Zhihe fell into panic and was speechless for a moment. Anyone could see the truth from this look.
Seeing that Xia Zhihe was silent, Xia Luotong sneered and spoke again: "Since Mr. Xia still refuses to admit it, then I can only have people bring in all the witnesses and physical evidence. It just so happens that today..."
She was about to say that the emperor and the queen mother were both here today, so someone made the decision, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a voice that contained anger.
And the owner of this voice is one of the people who can call the shots!
"enough!"
The emperor's voice was stern and contained anger!
He was not angry because something like this happened at the birthday banquet, but because the matter did not go as he had imagined!
What was originally a well-planned matter turned out to be unexpected. Xia Luotong's pregnancy directly ruined their previous plan, and there was no possibility of continuing.
Such a good opportunity, if Xia Luotong is really unable to get pregnant, then he can use this reason to refute Princess An's position, replace her with his own people, and re-infiltrate Prince An's palace.
Not only that, given how much Wu Zechen cared about Xia Luotong, if he took action against Xia Luotong, he might be able to hit Wu Zechen and expose some flaws in him.
But now that the plan failed, and foreign missions were also allowed to see such a joke, the emperor only felt that his face was dishonored.
"Since it is a misunderstanding and Princess An is pregnant, then the matter ends here." The emperor's tone showed displeasure, and he wanted to just let the matter go.
As for Xia Luotong's accusation against Xia Zhihe and everyone in the Xia family, and secretly giving her the killer drug, the emperor chose to ignore it without hesitation.
Xia Zhihe is his, but Xia Luotong is Wu Zechen's wife. At this time, Xia Luotong wants to testify against Xia Zhihe. Naturally, he will not give Xia Luotong this opportunity to touch his subordinates.
The emperor's intention was too obvious, and everyone could see it. The emperor had no intention of making the decision for Xia Luotong, and even had some intention of not allowing her to continue to press on the matter.
With the emperor's attitude, most people just sympathized with Xia Luotong, or felt that Xia Luotong was not favored by the emperor, but there were still many people who looked at the emperor's actions and pondered some profound meanings.
Even if Xia Luotong loses the support of her mother-in-law, she is still Princess An anyway. With such a status, even if she doesn't want to punish Xia Zhihe and seek justice for Xia Luotong, she still has to make some compensation.
But the emperor said such words, no doubt he didn't even intend to give Prince An face.
Seeing this situation, many people are speculating, has the relationship between the Emperor and Prince An's Palace reached such a stalemate?
Everyone knows the power of Prince An's palace, and many people know the Emperor's fear of Prince An.
It's just that it wasn't very obvious before, but now it's becoming more and more undisguised...
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Wu Zechen frowned fiercely, with a look of displeasure on his face. Just as he was about to speak, someone spoke up before him.
"Wait a minute, we can't just let this matter go."
The Queen Mother, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
The Emperor was startled, and turned to look at the Queen Mother, but the expression on his face was not very good. He now wished that the Queen Mother was just a decoration, so it was best not to speak if there was nothing wrong!
Before the Emperor could ask, the Queen Mother had already continued: "Your Majesty, Princess An is the wife of my royal family, and now she has allowed her ministers to repeatedly poison her. For such a big thing, won't the Emperor hold her accountable?"
"If today's matter is settled like this, then who will take the Great Zhou Royal Family seriously in the future? Wouldn't anyone dare to commit such a crime of disrespect?"
As soon as the Queen Mother said this, not only the royal family members in the banquet hall, but also many officials nodded, obviously agreeing with it.
The situation just now was obvious. There was obviously something wrong with the Xia family. Xia Luotong also said that he had evidence of being drugged and was willing to present it on the spot, which undoubtedly increased his credibility.
But when it came to this, the emperor actually stopped and refused to pursue the case?
This is somewhat unfair...
This happened to Princess An today, and the emperor didn't deal with it. What would happen if it happened to him in the future?
Wu Zechen looked at the Queen Mother who opened her mouth to help, her eyes full of respect and touch.
He was planning to speak just now. Xia Luotong had finally waited for such an opportunity. He didn't want to miss it. Besides, this was the person who had harmed Xia Luotong several times, and he would not let it go.
