"Princess Ling, Princess An's personal maid identified you as the one who killed Princess An with your own hands."
Emperor Ming sat at the top of the table, staring at Su Qingyu with secretive eyes.
"She said that you first used your sisterhood to trick Princess An into using a carriage, and then you arrived on horseback. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around and Princess An was pregnant, you pushed her directly out of the carriage, causing her to fall down the hillside. One corpse, two lives.”
Su Qingyu spoke loudly: "To answer your Majesty's question, although my daughter-in-law and Princess An often have disagreements, they are sisters connected by blood after all. How could she have murderous intentions towards her?"
Emperor Ming snorted coldly: "I remember that Princess An once poisoned the Queen Mother in order to pin the charge of murdering the Queen Mother on you. Are you serious about not avenging this revenge?"
Su Qingyu did not raise her head, but her tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "My daughter-in-law is indeed at odds with Princess An, but she will not think of killing someone in such a risky way when her life is at stake. Therefore, Hongmei's words, It’s simply not enough to serve as testimony.”
She really found it funny that Emperor Ming would not trust his own son, but instead trust Hongmei, a maid he had never even seen!
Emperor Ming sneered and said: "I have no other evidence here that Hongmei accuses you of murder. But without evidence, it cannot prove that you are really innocent."
"How about this, how about you present the evidence that you did not kill Princess An, and then I will judge?"
"Your Majesty, it is actually very simple to prove that your daughter-in-law is not the murderer of Princess An."
At this moment, saying the saying "Whoever claims it shall give evidence" in front of Emperor Ming is undoubtedly courting death. All she could do was follow the route given by Emperor Ming and find a way out.
"If Princess An was really killed by her daughter-in-law, then in order to cover up the truth, she should have killed Hongmei as well. Why should she be left alive to testify against me?"
After Emperor Ming was silent for a long time, he said: "It makes sense."
If it weren't for her status or the worry of implicating Lu Yuncheng, Su Qingyu would really want to point her finger at Emperor Ming's nose and curse.
She had given various explanations and evidence, but he was still not satisfied with the result.
Su Qingyu even wondered if this matter could be over only if she admitted to killing Su Qingxue?
But she just refused to let him get his wish!
Don't you want to muddy the waters?
Okay, if that's the case, then no one should have an easy time in this matter, and no one should be alone!
"Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law has no reason to kill Princess An, let alone the time to kill Princess An."
"Do you have evidence?"
"The daughter-in-law has no evidence, but the daughter-in-law has witnesses."
"who?"
"His Royal Highness Prince An."
If it wasn't an emergency, Su Qingyu wouldn't want to say another word to Wang An.
Emperor Ming obviously did not expect that Su Qingyu would let Prince An be the witness.
If King An really spoke for Su Qingyu, then it seems that there is really no way for this matter to develop in the direction he hopes.
"Pass, Prince An."
But after all, he believed that there had always been incompatibility between King An and King Ling!
He wanted to see how Su Qingyu could exonerate herself in this situation.
While waiting for King An, Emperor Ming set his sights on Lu Yuncheng again.
"Yuncheng, have you really never met the heroine in white?"
Su Qingyu closed her eyes, and the fists in her sleeves were quietly clenched.
It is said that the Tian family is ruthless, but it is rare to see someone like Emperor Ming.
"Father, son, minister, and the Baiyi sect are strangers to each other."
Emperor Ming pretended to be thoughtful and said: "That's really a coincidence. You were in danger twice in a row, but you were saved by the heroine in white and her men..."
Even without looking at Lu Yuncheng's expression, Su Qingyu could guess that he must be furious at this moment, but she had to endure it.
"Father, according to the warning given by the heroine in white to the group of killers in black that night, the sect in white will do whatever they want. As long as they encounter something that makes them unfair, they will intervene..."
"That's nonsense!"
Before Lu Yuncheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Ming's sharp words.
"In Daxia, except for Fuyue Tower who was recognized by the late emperor, even small sects now dare to come out and say that they are righteous people? Little do they know what they, a group of people in the world who wear white clothes and cause trouble everywhere, really want to do! "
Su Qingyu pinched herself hard to prevent herself from being 'rude' to Emperor Ming in this situation.
Saying that the sect that saved his two sons is a troublemaker? Could it be that he had to see several of them die in front of the man in black before he knew how to balance the balance in his mind?
Wait a moment!
Su Qingyu opened her eyes suddenly and glanced at Lu Yuncheng beside her in disbelief.
It is well known that Emperor Ming did not like Lu Yuncheng.
But didn’t he always love King An the most? For the sake of Prince An's face, even Concubine Hui could hide the fact that she poisoned the Queen Mother...
Now it seems like they treat both sons equally?
The only explanation can only be that Emperor Ming already has a son whom he loves more...
In my mind, there is an answer ready to come out.
"My son, please pay homage to your father!"
King An's footsteps were quite fast, and he entered the palace in a short while.
Emperor Ming raised his hand casually: "Get up and speak."
"Yes, thank you father."
Looking at King An's expression, Su Qingyu could roughly guess that along the way, in order to prevent them from colluding with the confession, the little eunuch who went to deliver the message must not have revealed a word to King An.
Otherwise, the expression on his face at this moment would not be so clear and stupid.
"Prince An, do you have anything to say about Hongmei's accusation?"
"Father, are you referring to Hongmei's accusation that Princess Ling personally pushed Qingxue to the cliff?"
King An used the word 'slander', so Su Qingyu could clearly see Emperor Ming's brows frowning slightly.
Is he actually dissatisfied because King An told the truth?
Su Qingyu knew that Emperor Ming had always disliked Lu Yuncheng, but at least in terms of superficial skills, he had always maintained it very well. What was it that made him unwilling to spend any words to maintain even the most superficial harmony today?
"Slander? You mean that Princess An was pushed down a cliff by Princess Ling and fell to death?"
King An did not answer, but turned to look at Su Qingxue and Lu Yuncheng behind him, and then slowly turned around.
"Father, according to the autopsy results, when Qingxue's accident happened, Princess Ling was still hiding from the killer with us. How could she find time to kill Qingxue?"
Su Qingyu did not raise her eyes.
She knew that no matter how stupid King An was, he should have known that someone was behind this matter, and the purpose was to make one of them die and the other bear the responsibility of killing his brother.
So, she was willing to take a gamble.
Just bet An Wang and want to find out the person behind it and avenge him!
Emperor Ming narrowed his eyes: "But, the driver who was delivering Princess An saw Princess Ling riding a horse to catch up with them. How should we explain this?"
King An simply lifted his robe and knelt down: "Father! During the attack last night, the seventh brother was injured while trying to save his son. Princess Ling even took the risk to let Qingxue leave, and then dragged the injured son to hide in the dark. This How could he be the murderer of Qingxue after his actions?"
"Father, I feel that someone must be behind this to cause trouble. The purpose is to alienate the brotherhood and father-son relationship between us!"
