Chapter 108: The Dali Temple Trial II

Mrs. Yun immediately shut her mouth and stared at Mo Ruxue's straight back resentfully.

Mo Ruxue faced Xiao Yuanbi and said loudly: "She is just a concubine who has just passed by. Even if I don't like her, I will not be stupid enough to kill her myself!"

"The evidence is here, you won't be allowed to quibble!" Xiao Yuanbi asked the guard next to him to show Mo Ruxue the testimony of Mei Xianghua.

Mo Ruxue took the testimony and looked at it, and a sneer escaped her lips: "The ink on the poisonous calligraphy and painting has long dried up. I would like to ask the prince, how did I get the poisonous powder on it? Is it still possible to do it?

So that no trace is revealed?”

"This is exactly what I want to ask. I heard that you are capable of refining spices and dissolving them into water, and that you are capable of dissolving poisonous powder into calligraphy and painting without revealing anything. I believe you can do it too."

"I'm sorry, I really can't do it! The prince is so sure that he can do it, so why don't you show us a demonstration? It will also open our eyes!"

Xiao Yuanbi's face was a little embarrassed when he was scolded by Mo Ruxue. Due to the presence of the Mo family father and son, he could not get angry easily.

"No amount of sophistry is pointless. You know that Yun Qian'er's body is poisoned by the sub-root, and he will die from the poison as long as he encounters heat-clearing medicine, so you have been waiting for the opportunity!"

"She caught a cold and had a fever on the night of the palace banquet. In the name of visiting, you asked your maid to give her antipyretic pills. Of course you won't miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Chu Chu looked like she suddenly realized something, and exclaimed in disbelief: "I never thought that the princess could be so vicious! Not only did she poison Concubine Yun, but she also framed me by the way. What a good plan! It's useless for me to continue to do this.

I thought you were my good sister!"

"You said you liked the calligraphy and painting, so I gave it to you. I never thought you would use it to harm people! It was me who harmed Concubine Yun..."

As he spoke, he shed two tears. He looked really heartbroken!

Murong Yan was not sure about the dispute between them. She kept kneeling there and no one asked her anything.

She suddenly understood that in this case, she was just a cannon fodder, and everyone's guns were pointed at Mo Ruxue.

Seeing this woman who was crying hypocritically and wearing a veil, her instinct told her that she was a bad person!

At the critical moment, Xiao Yonghan disappeared, leaving Mo Ruxue alone to fight alone!

Chu Liyan knelt in front of Xiao Yongyan: "The truth of the case has been revealed. Please make a decision and clear the innocent people's names!"

Mo Ruxue glanced sideways at Chu Liyan: "Innocent, innocent? I thought Mr. Chu was the most upright person in the court, but it turns out you can tell lies with your eyes open! Ha!"

"I don't care about women like you. Right and wrong will be decided by the Holy One!"

Xiao Yongyan said: "I am just a spectator today, and all decisions will be made by Prince Changshan in accordance with the laws of Yan State!"

Mo Xu couldn't sit still. Xiao Yongyan and Xiao Yuanbi sang in harmony, obviously trying the case, but actually suppressing the Mo family. He knelt down and said, "I beg the emperor to give you a few more days of grace. My daughter will never do such a thing.

There must be some injustice involved!”

"Are there not many unjust cases in General Mo's hands? Why does it have to be an unjust case when it comes to your daughter?" Chu Liyan said coldly.

At the beginning, Mo Xu unjustly accused him of accepting bribes, taking bribes and bending the law, causing more than 200 people in the Chu family to become homeless, and more than 50 people died of illness on the way to exile.

This was the first time he met Mo Xu after he came back. His enemies were extremely jealous when they met! The atmosphere in the lobby was a little tense for a while.

In the end, it was Xiao Yongyan who made the decision: "The facts of this case are clear and the evidence is conclusive. There is no need to delay any longer. Prince Changshan, please pronounce the verdict!"

"Yes, I obey the order," Xiao Yuanbi prepared to pronounce the sentence.

"Wait a moment!"

A familiar voice sounded, and Mo Ruxue turned around numbly. After seeing who it was, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise, and her eyes were shining. She knew he would not abandon her!

Xiao Yonghan came in with Luluo and another woman wearing ordinary women's clothes.

His eye sockets were sunken and the dark circles were heavy. He looked like he hadn't had a good rest for a long time. His face was unshaven and he lacked the charm of the past.

The clothes on my body were still from the previous two days, with many wrinkles and stains! The boots on my feet were still stained with a lot of mud.

Xiao Yonghan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was safe and sound, and smiled tenderly at her.

Xiao Yonghan bowed his hands in front of Xiao Yongyan and saluted: "Your Majesty, I feel that there are many doubts about this case. I also have a testimony of Mei Xiang's signature and seal. I have found two more witnesses who can prove that Princess Luo is innocent."

Xiao Yongyan looked unhappy, and it was difficult for him to say anything in front of so many people.

"Brother Huang's testimony is here for me to see. Who did you find? And how are you going to prove the princess's innocence?"

Xiao Yonghan handed the previous testimony of Mei Xianghua to Eunuch Li, and Eunuch Li brought it to Xiao Yongyan.

Xiao Yongyan glanced at it, looked up at Chu Chu abruptly, put together the testimony, and said nothing more.

Chu Chu was panicked by being stared at. She knew very well what was written in the testimony, but she also knew Xiao Yongyan's attitude towards Mo Ruxue.

She was sure that Xiao Yongyan would not expose her in public, so she pretended to be calm and knelt there, straightening her back.

Xiao Yonghan saw the movements in Xiao Yongyan's hands, but he didn't say anything. He pointed at Luluo and said, "This is Princess Luo's maid. She saw Mei Xiang going to the princess with calligraphy and paintings, but she stopped her."

Luluo bowed down to Xiao Yongyan and answered with her head lowered: "That day, Miss Mei Xiang came to see the princess with a pile of calligraphy and paintings, but was stopped by the slaves... She left without even entering the yard..."

Another woman dressed as an ordinary woman heard that the person in front of her was the emperor. She was so frightened that she did not dare to raise her head and became nervous all over.

Xiao Yongyan looked at Luluo coldly: "Do you know the consequences of testifying randomly and committing perjury?"

Lu Luo bowed her head and said: "My slave...everything that my slave said is true. I was on duty in Liuli Garden that day. Because Miss Chu Chu had a problem with the princess, I didn't dare to let the people in her yard in..."

"Haha! You are very sincere!" Xiao Yongyan pronounced the word "sincere" very seriously.

Luluo was frightened when she heard this. Since she decided to testify, she was mentally prepared.

She went home to visit her parents secretly the day before yesterday. Unexpectedly, Mo Ruxue had already known that it was a lie that she sold herself to bury her father, and secretly gave her parents a sum of money so that they could go back to their hometown and enjoy their old age.

Looking back on these days in Liulicuan, it was the happiest and most comfortable time in her life!

Under Xiao Yonghan's coercion and inducement, she couldn't bear to continue pretending to be deaf and dumb, and could not let Xiao Yongyan pin unfounded charges on Mo Ruxue!

Mo Ruxue is very resourceful. She saved her this time. They must have a way to escape safely.

Xiao Yongyan looked at the other person kneeling next to Lu Luo: "What does that person kneeling there have to prove?"

The peasant woman said tremblingly: "Slave... this slave is Miss Chu Chu's former... maid, my name is Vanilla..."

When Chu Chu heard the name, she turned her head sharply and stared at her in disbelief. Shouldn't she have fallen into the river and drowned? How could she still be here?

Her face turned pale, she nervously clutched the corners of her clothes, and her palms were covered in cold sweat!

When Xiao Yongyan saw this situation, he immediately understood that the poison on the calligraphy and painting must have been put on it by Chu Chu to poison Mo Ruxue!

He rubbed his temples: "I am very tired today. Let's take these people into custody first! Let's wait for another day to interrogate them!"

Xiao Yonghan was immediately furious and turned livid. At the critical moment, he had to set another day for another trial!

Mo Ruxue was really convinced by Xiao Yongyan. Now that the evidence was unfavorable to Chu Chu, he started to use delaying tactics!

The cell in Dali Temple was quite quiet, but it was a bit too boring. There were too many rats. I had nothing to do every day but watch the rats fight!

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and she has to go back to count the money! I don’t know how the business in the shop has been in the past few days since she was arrested. It must have been affected to some extent.

Mo Ruxue suddenly stood up and stopped Xiao Yongyan who was about to leave: "Your Majesty, please stay. I would like to make a deal with you, how about it?"

"Why would you trade with me if you are a guilty person?"

"I want to talk to the emperor alone. The emperor will definitely be interested! Maybe this deal is what the emperor needs?"

This sentence successfully aroused Xiao Yongyan's interest. He stopped and stared at Mo Ruxue's cunning, fox-like smiling eyes.

The jailer next to him did not dare to move and stood aside waiting for Xiao Yongyan to speak.

Xiao Yongyan thought for a moment and then agreed. Mao Xicheng took the two of them to the room next to the lobby. He withdrew and closed the door.

Everyone in the lobby looked at each other, wondering what Mo Ruxue was going to do.

Mo Zifeng walked up to Xiao Yonghan and asked softly: "Your Majesty, what kind of deal did my sister negotiate with the emperor?"

"How could I know that I am not the roundworm in her belly?"
