The lanterns shine brightly, and the moon is big and round.
The Lantern Festival banquet should have been a lively night, but it was extremely quiet at this moment. Everyone was holding their breath and listening to Cheng Wanwan's words.
"Princess Rongqing's family died during the palace turmoil more than ten years ago. They were killed by the rebels. Those rebels were all the elite troops of the former prince. Logically speaking, they should have been fatal with one blow." Cheng Wan His crooked eyes were clear and sharp, "However, after conducting an autopsy, he found that the eight close relatives of the princess were not killed with one knife, and there were no scars on the bones. Finally, after searching for many palace people, they found out that these eight people were stabbed at most. Thirty knives, the youngest brother was stabbed nine times, and died in a terrible way... The wounds were of different depths, and it was obvious at a glance that they were not done by an adult man, that is to say, the murderer was either a young child or a weak woman. …”
Her sharp gaze was directed at Rong Qing.
"No, no..." Rong Qing's face turned pale, he shook his head desperately, and then looked at Cheng Wanwan angrily, "My family has been laid to rest. Who allowed you to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy? Why do you disturb my family! I How your family died has anything to do with you, why did you do this, I’m going to fight you!”
The queen said coldly: "Stop her."
Xiao Guozi immediately stepped forward and blocked Rong Qing's way.
"These were found out by this palace." The Queen said word by word, "After the palace change, the palace was in chaos, and no one paid attention to the truth about the deaths of several civilians. After I investigated, I found out that... Rongqing, your family did not die at the hands of the rebels. In fact, they died at your hands. It was you who killed your family with your own hands, right?!"
The queen usually has a very good temper, is gentle and gentle, without any aggression.
But at this moment, all her aura was released, and the light in her eyes fell on Rong Qing like a sharp blade.
All the color drained from Rongqing's face, and her hands and feet couldn't help but feel weak. She needed to lean on the palace maid behind her to barely steady herself.
"Rongqing!" The Queen Mother yelled out her title, "Whether what the Queen said is true or false, please give the Ai family an explanation!"
"I don't……"
Rongqing could only think of these three words as he tossed and turned.
More than ten years ago, she would still be panic-stricken and afraid that her family would take their lives. But after so many years, they have been living in peace, and she has gradually become more at ease.
She never expected that those things that had long been rotten in the past would one day be found out.
"Your Majesty, you must believe me, I really don't!"
Rongqing fell directly at the Queen Mother's feet, bursting into tears, and broke down to the point of crying.
"Still want to quibble!" King Qin's sword was directly across her neck, "I ask you, did Duan Min also die in your hands?!"
"No! I did not kill Princess Duan Min!" Rong Qing's voice was very confident, "I did not kill my parents, brothers and sisters, nor did I kill Princess Duan Min. I had no motive to do so. I was wronged. The Queen Mother must make the decision for me..."
The queen's lips trembled.
She was just thinking, could Rong Qing really be so vicious? Would he really attack the parents who gave birth to her? She still found it unbelievable...
But if it were not true, the queen would not say it in front of so many people. In other words, this matter is most likely true.
If Rongqing can take action against his blood relatives, then Duan Min...
"Princess Duanmin was indeed not killed by Princess Rongqing." Cheng Wanwan said slowly, "Before the former prince Xiao Jue died, my wife asked about the cause of Princess Duanmin's death. Xiao Jue just wanted to kill Princess Duanmin. He was caught as a hostage, but when he attacked Rongqing County, Rongqing pushed Duan Min out to block the knife. Princess Duan Min died tragically under Xiao Jue's knife. This scene was probably seen by Princess Rongqing's family. When the time came, she was afraid that her family would leak this secret, so she brutally killed her closest relatives... Her youngest brother died in her hands. Only when she met the son of the national master who had similar symptoms to his brother, did she make such a sacrifice So much emotion…”
This whole story line, many of which have no definite evidence, is a complete story line speculated by Cheng Wanwan.
There may be some mistakes in the details, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the general direction. Just look at Rong Qing's almost fainting appearance.
"These are just my wife's speculations. If we want to convict Princess Rongqing, there are still many key pieces of evidence missing." She said softly, "I beg the emperor to transfer this case to Dali Temple for thorough investigation."
Rongqing closed his eyes and trembled uncontrollably.
What happened more than ten years ago will never be discovered as long as we don't investigate.
But if Dali Temple intervenes, then all the dark things she did will be made public.
She is finished, really finished...
She obviously wanted to drive this bitch, Mrs. Sui, out of the capital. Why, why was she the one who was brutally surrounded and suppressed in the end...
"Bitch!"
King Qin raised his leg and kicked Rong Qing hard in the chest.
"In order to show mercy to the Queen Mother, I even got a birthmark exactly like Duan Min's on my chest. Are you worthy?!"
His sword directly tore through the clothes on Rong Qing's chest. The blade of the sword slashed across her chest, hitting the birthmark and drawing blood.
Rongqing was rolling on the ground in pain, and he was not even half as elegant and dignified as a princess.
"Come here!" The Queen Mother closed her eyes to cover the pain in her eyes, "Princess Rongqing has no virtue, her title will be revoked, she will be thrown into the dungeon, and she will be interrogated today!"
"No, don't..." Rongqing hugged the Queen Mother's thigh, "Rongqing has been with you for more than ten years. There is hard work without credit. Please give Rongqing another chance..."
The Queen Mother's hand trembled, she raised it uncontrollably and slapped Rong Qing hard on the face.
"You killed my daughter, but you stayed in the palace in my daughter's place, enjoying the privilege of being a princess and enjoying my protection. You still have the nerve to beg me?" The Queen Mother's voice was trembling, "I I didn’t cut you into pieces on the spot, because I was thinking about the friendship we have had for so many years. Get out of here, I don’t want to see you again..."
She couldn't imagine how desperate Duan Min was at the moment before his death.
She wanted to strangle Rong Qing to death, and wanted to let Rong Qing be buried with Duan Min... But that was not possible yet.
She had to wait until Dali Temple found out all the truth before she personally sent Rongqing to the guillotine...
"Brother Six, please save me..." Rongqing knew that the Queen Mother would no longer protect him, so he turned around and hugged King Qin's thigh, "Brother Six, we grew up together, and you can't bear to leave me like this. Go to hell, Brother Six, help me..."
King Qin looked down at her.
She also raised her head and looked at King Qin, with no hidden affection in her eyes.
At this moment, King Qin felt extremely sick.
He finally understood why Rongqing targeted Mrs. Sui again and again. It turned out to be this.
He raised his foot again and kicked it hard.
Rongqing was kicked so hard that he vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Lao Liu." The emperor shouted coldly, stopping King Qin from continuing to commit violence. "Come here, take this girl down quickly!"
Several imperial guards blocked Rongqing's mouth and dragged her down.
"I'll let you all see the joke." The queen stood up and looked at the surprised people below. "It's getting late. Everyone, please go back and rest early."
The people below had watched several big dramas and were in urgent need of someone to discuss them with. Naturally, they were eager to leave the palace as soon as possible.
After a while, everyone in the palace dispersed.
