"Not only that, many of the utensils in the hands of the princess have never been seen before by Wei Chen, who has been studying medicine for more than sixty years! They have never been from the Central Plains. They probably came from the frontier..."
Doctor Liu's words also made everyone shrink their eyes.
If what Dr. Liu said is true, then it is confirmed that Ji Wanrong used border magic and used human bones as a curse to harm the Queen Mother.
After all, if it is ordinary medical treatment, where is the need for human blood and human bones to treat diseases?
Since it is a border magic, the Ji Wanrong in front of him is probably someone pretending to be him.
There was no need to confirm whether it was someone else who was impersonating him. With the emperor's attitude that he would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one go, Ji Wanrong's life might not be guaranteed.
So Ji Yunyao snorted coldly and looked at the timid Quan Xin again: "Quan Xin, you grew up serving Ji Wanrong, what do you think? Is the person in front of you the one you have been serving before? master?"
Quan Xin trembled when she heard Ji Yunyao's words, then slowly raised her head and looked at Ji Wanrong.
Her eyes flickered for a moment, and then she said: "I only know that the eldest lady used to have disgusting and ugly scars on her face. She was very timid and did not even dare to speak loudly in front of strangers. It is absolutely impossible for her to be like that." Now, I am speaking in front of His Majesty."
When the emperor heard this, his face became a little impatient, and his tightly knitted brow slowly relaxed, as if he had made a decision.
Doctor Liu's words are trustworthy. He is an old man in the palace.
Quan Xin's words are also credible. She has been serving Ji Wanrong since she was a child.
As for Mo Jiecheng... he was either deceived by beauty, or he had the intention to usurp the throne, or he was just too stupid.
The emperor thought of this and slowly opened his eyes again.
Ji Wanrong looked at the emperor's attitude, and at the proud expressions of Concubine Hua Gui and Princess Duan, and felt a bit of an ominous premonition.
She just said so much, and her only purpose was to delay time.
Before entering the palace, she listened to Eunuch Gao and pretended to ask Siqin to go to the military camp to find Mo Jiecheng. In private, she asked Siqin to go to the princess mansion to find the eldest princess and Princess Chuyang.
Let the eldest princess take Ji Lingxiao and Mrs. Ji into the palace.
No matter whether the eldest princess suspects that she is not the Ji Wanrong of the past, she is the only hope to save the Virgin Princess.
She didn't know why the eldest princess could be so kind to an adopted daughter, and would almost give up her own life to do so. But Ji Wanrong knew that for the Virgin Princess, the eldest princess would do anything to save her life.
With the testimony of his brother and Mrs. Ji, unless they really found Master Jiuyun and said that she was a demon possessed by a ghost, there would be no way they could harm her at all.
She was about to speak and continue to delay the arrival of the eldest princess, when she saw the figure standing beside her flash out of the corner of her eye.
It was Jian Qing next to her who knelt down straight towards the emperor.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty clearly knows that if any one person can prove whether my young lady is a young lady, then this slave can also prove it!"
"Ever since the young lady entered the palace, the servants have been serving her, watching her recover from a face full of abscesses to what she is now; also watching her dowry being replaced, being insulted by Huang Er and others, and being humiliated by Lady Gu. , and became the strong person he is now.”
"Your Majesty, if the young lady is still the same as before, I am afraid she will be tortured to death by others and she will no longer be in front of you!"
Her lips were pale, her whole body was trembling, and her teeth were chattering when she spoke, but she tried her best to speak loudly.
By the time she finished saying this, the green bricks in front of her were already dripping with sweat and a large area was wet.
Concubine Hua sneered: "I guess you, like King Han, were bewitched by Ji Wanrong's magic; or maybe you want to please your master now so that you can rise to prominence in the future."
"If you want to prove that what you said is true, you can. If you can still say that your master is the former Ji Wanrong after being subjected to the eighteen kinds of torture in the sky prison, I will count your testimony. "
Seeing Qing's whole body trembled, his whole body almost collapsed.
The queen raised her head in disbelief and looked at Concubine Hua: "Even if a man in the army endured the eighteen tortures in the prison, it would be difficult for him to survive, let alone a little maid, Concubine Hua, you are really thinking It’s too cruel.”
"It's better to be vicious than to be killed. I just don't know if that little maid is willing to prove it."
Ji Wanrong wanted to delay time until the eldest princess, Mrs. Ji and Ji Lingxiao came, but he never thought about using Jian Qing's life to delay time.
She immediately stood in front of Jian Qing, "No..."
"My slave is willing!"
Before Ji Wanrong finished speaking, he was interrupted loudly by Jian Qing.
She raised her head and gave Ji Wanrong a firm look, then took two steps and knelt in front of the emperor, her small body completely protecting Ji Wanrong behind her.
"I am willing to swear on my life that the master in front of me is my master. She treats everyone with all her heart, and she has no intention of harming anyone! I am willing to accept the punishment!"
Ji Wanrong was frightened by Jian Qing's words, and felt that his eardrums were bulging.
In her impression, Jian Qing had never spoken so loudly, and she had never seen Jian Qing be so brave and protect herself.
From her angle, she could see that Jian Qing's thin back was trembling heavily, and her back was already soaked with sweat, even dripping to the ground.
There were even sobs in her throat because of fear, and she suppressed them with all her strength.
Ji Wanrong's vision gradually blurred, and then he felt moisture slipping from his eyes.
She knelt down beside Jian Qing without hesitation and spoke quickly and sternly.
"What Concubine Hua said is simply nonsense. There is no need to be tortured to test whether what she said is true. Why does Jian Qing need to be tortured, but Taiyi Liu, Huang Er, and Izumi Xin who identified me do not need to be tortured? Isn't this too unfair? Already?"
Jian Qing just shook his head and pushed Ji Wanrong: "No, miss, I am willing to accept it, as long as I can prove your innocence."
When Princess Duan saw the scene in front of her, she raised her eyebrows impatiently: "So, is this little maid going to be punished or not? Or does Princess Han admit that she is a spy from the frontier?"
Ji Wanrong still wanted to speak, but Mo Jiecheng pulled Ji Wanrong into his arms at this moment, then covered her mouth, and then waved to the little eunuch beside him.
"Since I want to prove it, I will prove it in front of my father, so that everything can be revealed."
Mo Jiecheng said steadily, looking at Concubine Hua with his dark eyes. The coldness in his eyes made Concubine Hua feel a shiver all over her body.
After a while, the young eunuch put on the torture instruments. What he brought up from the main hall were only small objects that were easy to move, including torture instruments for torture and iron sticks.
The torture instrument made of black iron shone with black light, and the blood of countless people remained on it.
Just one glance made people's calves tremble.
The instrument of torture came close to Jian Qing, and the unpleasant smell of blood poured into his nose.
Everything in your imagination feels different from what you actually face.
Jian Qing's eyes suddenly shrank, his face suddenly turned pale, he collapsed on the ground dripping with sweat, and started to retching.
"I just want to ask you one more thing, is the person in front of you the Ji Wanrong from before? As long as you say yes, you won't have to suffer such torture!"
