Gu Sicheng knelt down again. Du Yiqing was deeply loved by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and he knew the importance of these words.
"Back to the Emperor, Du Yiqing had a quarrel with my sister in the corridor just now and then committed an attack. She scratched her face with a knife, causing her disfigurement!"
The mixture of grief and anger that Gu Sicheng mentioned was exactly the accusation against Du Yiqing, the murderer. Everyone who heard it was really shocked...
After hearing this, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, scanned the crowd, and finally stopped on Du Yiqing.
It's a pity that he didn't see the panic of the so-called murderer. Du Yiqing stood there as if no one was around, as if Gu Sicheng was not talking about her.
The emperor's brows raised slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.
"Are you telling the truth?" The emperor murmured. No one around him dared to make a sound. The emperor's gestures, even if he wasn't angry, still carried a kind of majesty that people couldn't disrespect.
"Back to the emperor, everyone in the corridor can testify to the scene just now!" Gu Sicheng lowered his head and said loudly.
After the emperor scanned for a week, everyone nodded and agreed to Gu Sicheng's words.
What's the situation? This girl seems to be a sensible and decent person when she comes to the palace to talk in the past few days. She shouldn't do such a thing, right?
Du Yiqing looked at the emperor's eyes and smiled back.
"Father, my son was here just now, and he saw it very clearly! Chouba... uh..." Shangguan Yun supported.
"Father, Thirteenth Brother and I have all seen it. It was indeed Du Yiqing who scratched Miss Gu's face!" Shangguan Aoye said angrily.
The emperor lowered his head and glanced at the pig-headed Shangguan Yun, and his expression suddenly changed: "Why do you look like this?"
Only then did Shangguan Yun remember that he had turned into a pig head, and hurriedly replied: "Go back to my father, I was in the back yard just now, and for some reason I attracted bees..."
The emperor felt sorry for his son, but when he saw such a pig-headed face, he couldn't help but laugh.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to ask a question when suddenly Du Xiaoxiao, who was next to Du Yiqing, ran out and knelt in front of her.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you usually love Qing'er the most. Please spare Qing'er this time!" Du Xiaoxiao begged the emperor for mercy. The moment he lowered his head, his eyes did flash with excitement.
Du Xiaoxiao's plea was actually a disguised statement that Du Yiqing had indeed scratched Gu Siling's face.
What a vicious move.
Du Zhong, who was standing next to the emperor, looked at Du Xiaoxiao who was kneeling at his feet. The light in his eyes, which had experienced many things, dimmed, but he did not speak.
How could the emperor not see through things that Eucommia ulmoides can see through!?
But when the emperor looked at Du Yiqing for the second time, he was even more surprised. The girl still maintained the same appearance at this moment, standing still without panic.
It seemed that the noise, pleading, and questioning here had nothing to do with her. Although she had met her a few times since she was no longer stupid, and the Empress Dowager often praised her, what he saw today shocked him.
The change is not only that he is no longer stupid, he has simply become a different person, right?
In this case, all the witnesses were one-sided. If others had already kneeled down and begged for mercy, or turned pale and trembled with fear, she looked like she had nothing to do with her!
!
This girl, I actually underestimated!
"Your Majesty, according to the law of Liuyue Kingdom, the crime of wounding someone will be handed over to the criminal department for a punishment of two hundred rods, and then tattooed and sent to the side for five years. In the more severe cases, he will be beheaded. Du Yiqing deliberately hurt someone.
First, and then he took action to ruin my sister’s appearance. How important is appearance to a woman, please leave it to your Majesty to decide.”
