Tao Yaoyao, neither humble nor arrogant, walked to the center of the hall, then saluted His Majesty and said, "When I left the Ruyang Marquis Mansion just now, Miss Yun Shu was fine.
After that, I entered the palace, and then I returned to Tao's house. During this period, I didn't see anyone. If your Majesty has any questions, you can send someone to investigate.
My daughter is also very curious about how Miss Yun Shu died. My daughter is even more curious about why after something happened to Miss Yun Shu, the princess insisted that this incident was done by her daughter. "
Tao Yaoyao seemed to be speaking to the emperor, but in fact he was speaking to everyone present, "Just because of a beggar? When Princess Anping went looking for him to harm me today, she should have known that he had harmed me before.
Such a person, if he can hurt me once, he can also hurt me a second time. So the evidence the princess said is his word, and I don’t agree with it. "
After Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, she knelt in the main hall and begged Your Majesty to allow her to conduct an autopsy, "Your Majesty, I don't want to be wronged for no reason. Please allow Your Majesty to let me find out."
Princess Anping looked at His Majesty, but Your Majesty did not look at him. She waved her hand again, "Since you want to check, then go ahead and check."
"Father, now that there are witnesses and physical evidence, why do we still ask her to investigate? Doesn't it mean that Father doesn't believe in Anping?" the princess said dissatisfied.
"It's outrageous. Even when Dali Temple is handling a case, the two parties have to argue with each other in court before a conclusion can be made. Do you want me to be that foolish king who wrongly accuses the daughter of a minister without any regard for the truth?"
His Majesty said displeased.
Seeing that her father was angry, Princess Anping quickly knelt down to plead guilty, "I never meant this."
His Majesty said nothing. After Tao Yaoyao accepted the order, she stood up and went to Yun Shu's body. She first knelt down to take Yun Shu's pulse, and then went to check Yun Shu's body.
When inspecting the body, Tao Yaoyao found that Yun Shu had many old wounds on her body, which were intricate and complicated. They should not have been caused in one day. It seemed that Princess Anping had a really bad temper.
"Yun Shu was indeed poisoned and died, and the poison she was poisoned by was indeed only mine. But this does not mean that I was the one who killed her."
Tao Yaoyao thought of something and stood up with a solemn expression.
Princess Anping heard this and sneered, "What do you mean? You admit that the poison is yours but you don't admit that you killed the person. What you said, don't talk about this princess, I'm afraid I'm here Everyone is confused by you."
"I understand what Miss Tao means."
Marquis Ruyang stood up and helped Tao Yaoyao speak, "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed strange. If I were Miss Tao, I would never use the poison I developed to kill people. From now on, if something happens, the first person to suspect will definitely be The person who makes poison.
Miss Tao seems to be smart and smart, and she should not do such stupid things. "
Zhang Jing also followed suit, "When I was handling cases in the Criminal Department, I once encountered such a case. Generally, in such cases, the person who looks most like the murderer is not the murderer."
"Master Zhang, how can you speak here?"
Princess Anping didn't dare to embarrass Marquis Ruyang, so why didn't she dare to embarrass a fifth-rank official?
Who is he? He just got the favor of his father, and now he actually dares to help Tao Yaoyao bully him? Damn shit.
"Anping, what's wrong with Mr. Zhang's words?" His Majesty said displeased, "If you want to seek justice for your maid, just speak up. If you don't want to, take your people and get out now. I don't have time to accompany you. You're fooling around."
When Anping was angry, Tao Yaoyao came to see His Majesty again, "My daughter is also very curious as to how Lu Yan got the poison in my hand. Please ask Your Majesty to send Lu Yan into the palace."
At this time, the carriage from Prince Ding's Mansion had just arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion. Chang Geng got off the carriage and was about to help Xie Lan return to the mansion. A carriage drove by not far away and Wen Qi got out of the carriage.
"You really hit the mark." Lu Yan shook his folding fan and smiled, "There is a lot of excitement in the palace, do you want to go together?"
Xie Lan looked up at him. After thinking for a moment, he frowned and asked, "How is she?"
"You know, neither the Third Prince nor His Majesty wants the Tao family to break off the engagement at this time, but today Tao Yaoyao threatened her with death, so His Majesty had no choice but to agree to the marriage.
You know, our Majesty is petty and vindictive, and what he hates most in his life is being threatened. Coincidentally, Tao Yaoyao violated all taboos at once.
What do you think she will do now? "
Xie Lan felt an internal force in his chest begin to spread outward. Because the impact was too strong, it made his whole body tremble with pain, but he quickly suppressed the restlessness with other internal force.
"Where's Lu Yanren?"
"Has been sent to the palace." Speaking of this, Wen Qi was once again impressed, "If you hadn't reminded me, he would have been killed by others. Since then, Tao Yaoyao would not have been saved even by the Great Luo Immortal today. .
But she is so courageous. His Majesty is the ruler of the world, and she actually dares to threaten him. "
Wen Qi said he admired him, but his eyes were actually full of worry.
"Let's go quickly, we won't be able to see the excitement any longer."
Wen Qi turned around and got on the carriage. When Chang Geng saw that his master was about to follow him, he hurried over to remind him, "Master, your body can't last more than two hours. You must go back to the hot springs now, otherwise..."
"I know how my king is doing."
Xie Lan bypassed Chang Geng and got into the carriage. Chang Geng saw this and hesitated several times, but in the end he said nothing.

"Father, it's been so long and the person you sent out hasn't come back yet, but something happened to that man named Lu Yan?" When Princess Anping said this, her eyes lit up and she looked at Tao Yaoyao with a look of gloating. .
"You can't be the one who kills people and silences them, right?"
Tao Yaoyao suddenly felt that Princess Anping also had a brain, otherwise how could she have set up this series of plots, but... she just didn't have much brain, otherwise how could she say such things at this time.
It would be okay if Lu Yan was really silenced, but if Lu Yan is still alive... wouldn't she be easily suspected?
Wait a minute, Princess Anping was so confident when she talked about this matter, could it be possible... Damn it, she just thought that His Majesty might not let her go, but she never thought that there were Princess Anping and Lu Yan involved. I had known this before...
Forget it, just take it one step at a time.
"Your Majesty, Lu Yan has brought it."
What?
Princess Anping looked at the door of the royal study room in disbelief. When she saw Lu Yan standing alive in the hall, her eyes were full of panic and worry.
Now it was Tao Yaoyao's turn to be happy.
"The princess just vowed that something would happen to Lu Yan. Now she sees him standing here alive, and she is surprised. Could it be that the princess did something to him?"
On the one hand, Tao Yaoyao's words were telling everyone that there was something wrong with Princess Anping, and on the other hand, they were also reminding Lu Yan that if he wanted to survive today, he must tell the truth, otherwise, no one would be able to protect him.
Fortunately, Lu Yan was smart. After he understood what Tao Yaoyao said, he immediately knelt down in the main hall and cried about the thrilling moment just now.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me. I stole Miss Tao's purse on the orders of the princess."
"Lu Yan, what are you talking about?" Princess Anping did not expect that her perfect plan would be ruined by a beggar like Lu Yan.
Does he know what will happen after he says this?
Do you know what consequences this matter will bring to her?
Damn untouchable, why didn't those people kill him?
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Zhou and King Dingbei are here. They say they have something to see your Majesty."
Everyone present knew that His Majesty was not happy to be King of the North, so when Eunuch Liu mentioned this, everyone looked at His Majesty at the same time. His Majesty's brows were tense, his lips were pursed, but he did not speak.
Just when Eunuch Liu thought that His Majesty would refuse them entry, His Majesty waved his hand impatiently, "Let them come in."
After Zhou Wang's Crown Prince Wen Qi came in, he first saluted His Majesty, and then pretended to have just seen everyone. When his eyes moved to Lu Yan, he said in surprise, "Why are you here? I just saved your life." , you have to be a good person."
Princess Anping looked at Wen Qi in disbelief. The person who ruined her plan was actually the Crown Prince of Zhou.
If it were someone else, she could still assassinate him, but Prince Zhou... deserved to die.
"Yes, I will tell you everything I know." Lu Yan looked at His Majesty tremblingly, "Your Majesty, what I just said is true. I can swear to God."
The emperor knew that this daughter was not smart, but as long as she protected Lu Yan, it would be harder for Tao Yaoyao to stand up than to reach the sky. But he did not expect that she would not be able to handle such a small thing.
If you don't have that ability, you still learn to kill people and silence them. It's simply overestimating your own capabilities.
Now I'm fine, I shot myself in the foot.
Ridiculous.
"Princess, why did you do this?" Tao Yaoyao realized what he was thinking, and then looked at Princess Anping in disbelief, "Even if there is a dispute between you and me and you want revenge, that person should be I'm the.
I think that I have never done anything wrong to the princess from beginning to end, but why does the princess plot against her courtier again and again?
Just because I have no one to rely on, should I be bullied like this by you?
Princess, my daughter has broken off her engagement with the third prince. Can you let me go from now on? "Tao Yaoyao said while crying, "No, they said before that what you did was all the Third Prince's intention. Could it be that this matter is also..."
Tao Yaoyao didn't have time to finish the matter, so she turned around and knelt down to His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, could you please ask the third prince to come over, and then I can apologize to him in front of everyone. I am indeed sorry for him for breaking off the engagement, but I have no choice but to do so.
Today, in just one day, the Third Prince caused so much trouble. My daughter is just a weak woman, and she really can’t bear all these things..."
