Chapter 1597
As for the rats that were let in from behind Wanqi Mountain, as soon as they were freed, they rushed towards Teng Xiang and several nuns at extremely fast speeds.
It seemed that there was something about Teng Xiang and these nuns that they were interested in, so the rats jumped on Teng Xiang and these nuns.
They had never encountered such a thing before, and they were immediately frightened and screamed.
Frightened and pushed by each other, Tengxiang and the two nuns fell to the ground.
The mice didn't care and gnawed at their clothes, faces, skin...
Teng Xiang and the nuns were all bitten by the mice and screamed.
Not only the officials were stunned by this scene, but Concubine Shao and several female family members were also stunned and took a few steps back in fright.
This is how the Empress Dowager’s body was eaten!
Xiao Lintian was furious and tried his best to suppress his anger. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself, so he pushed Princess Shao into the cage so that she could experience the pain of being eaten by rats.
"Help!"
Teng Xiang and several nuns couldn't bear it and started shouting.
King Kang frowned, as if he couldn't bear to see Teng Xiang and the others being tortured like this.
Pan Yushi couldn't help but asked: "Prince Cheng, what are you doing? What does this prove?"
"Prove what?"
Prince Cheng said sadly: "I have already said that the silk is contaminated with poisonous rat scent. These scents are fatally attractive to rats!"
"Didn't Teng Xiang and these unrepentant nuns insist that they never changed the silk? Then if it was the Deputy Secretary who changed the silk and he handled the silk, why didn't the mice bite him?"
Prince Cheng roared angrily: "Look at what happened in the cage, the evidence is conclusive... It turns out that the silk was still intact when it came out from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was these beasts who replaced the silk, which caused the Empress Dowager's body to be destroyed." destroy!"
All officials suddenly realized that this was the proof method.
Looking at several people in the cage being chased by rats, who would dare to say that they are innocent!
"Prince Cheng, help me... I'm a slave, it's Teng Xiang who has exchanged silk!"
"We didn't know what was wrong with silk, so we changed it when she asked us to. For this, she gave each of us fifty taels of silver!"
A nun whose face was bitten to pieces by a rat rushed to the cage and knelt down to kowtow to Prince Cheng.
The first one took the lead, but the other nuns couldn't stand being chewed by rats. They ran over and kowtowed to Prince Cheng to confess their guilt, all targeting Teng Xiang.
Tengxiang also wanted to get rid of these rats, but she knew that even if she got rid of the rats, she would not escape death.
She looked in the direction of Concubine Shao, but unexpectedly she received Concubine Shao's fierce gaze.
"Tengxiang, I treat you well, why would you do such a thing?"
"You are trapping me into being unkind and unjust!"
Seeing this scene, Concubine Shao already knew that she could not save Teng Xiang, so she had no choice but to lose her car to save Shuai.
"Why on earth are you doing this?"
After Concubine Shao finished scolding aggressively, she said to Prince Cheng with a heartbroken look: "Prince Cheng, I have improperly hired people, and I have committed negligence..."
Is it just a crime of oversight?
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Ling Yu's lips, as did Xiao Lintian.
He stared at Concubine Shao with a gloomy look, and said sharply: "Prince Cheng, Teng Xiang is a palace maid with no backer, how can she change silk?"
"How did silk soaked in poisonous rat scent be transported into the palace? Who was involved in this matter? It must be investigated strictly!"
"Let's start with the investigation in Concubine Shao's Palace. I don't believe that Teng Xiang can do it so silently with just one person without any other helpers!"
"Whoever is found to be involved in this matter will be sent to the Snake Cave!"
