Because once she is convicted of lying, she is finished.
"Since you said you saw it with your own eyes, how did you see it with your own eyes? Do you know whether my king's wing is on the left or right side of the palace? How many pots of flowers are placed at the door of my king's room? How is my room furnished? How is the bed and bedding?
?If you really see so clearly, it's impossible that you have no impression of anything, right?" Chu Xuanchen approached Xia He and asked gloomily.
"Slave...Slave, because I was nervous at the time, I don't remember anything." Xia He cried.
At this time, Yun Ruoyue suddenly stepped forward, stared at Xia He and Lan Wu with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, besides this, I have another way to know who the father of Princess Jin's child is.
Just now, I heard that Princess Jin entered the palace after having a miscarriage. The embryo in her body should not have been expelled from the body yet. As long as the embryo is tested with human blood, we can know who the biological father of the child is. Then the truth will be revealed. If
It’s really Xia He and Lan Wu who gave perjury to slander King Li. The wife of the court asked them to be sentenced to confiscation of their homes and annihilation of their clan. The clan members punished them by breaking a chariot into pieces! Because she dared to slander a king and his princess!"
When Xia He heard that he was going to be sentenced to the crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan, he was immediately frightened and said, "Please forgive me, please forgive me. Your Majesty has mercy. It was His Highness the King of Jin who threatened the slave with the lives of his family members and forced the slave to say this. In fact, the princess did not do it at all."
There is no fornication with Prince Li. This child belongs to His Highness Prince Jin. My family is in his hands. I was afraid that he would kill my family, so I perjured myself for him."
As soon as Xia He said his words, everyone was shocked.
Xia He did all this just to protect his family.
Just now she heard Yun Ruoyue say that once she found out that she was lying, she would be sentenced to confiscation of her family and genocide, and she would also be punished by having her car broken apart. This was a much heavier punishment than King Jin's punishment.
Prince Jin just arrested her family, and the Emperor will destroy her clan. How can she be the sinner of the family, and how can she cause innocent people to die in vain? She can't just watch her clan members be sentenced to death because of her involvement.
punishment.
Therefore, in order to protect her tribe and family, she stood up and testified against King Jin without thinking.
She would rather her family die in vain than all her clan members be quartered by five horses, not even a whole body.
When Yun Ruoyue heard Xia He's words, a coldness rose in the corner of her mouth. She was just deceiving Xia He.
Now that Su Changxiao's child has not formed an embryo, it is just a gestational sac. It is impossible to test with blood, and the method of blood test is unreliable, and she will not use it.
Unexpectedly, her casual deception frightened Xia He into telling the truth.
When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, he was immediately furious. He glared at Lan Wu and said, "And you, have you perjured yourself for King Jin? If you don't get the truth, I will cut you into pieces right now!"
Lan Wu was so frightened that she trembled all over. She looked at King Jin apologetically, kowtowed and said, "Please have mercy on your Majesty. The woman did not intentionally give false testimony. On the night of the tenth day of the lunar month, the woman indeed saw King Jin with her own eyes."
Your Highness touched the princess. Your Highness is the husband of a commoner, and the commoner just told lies to protect him."
After saying that, she looked at King Jin pitifully. King Jin was the big tree that changed her destiny. Of course she wanted to cling to him, but she didn't dare to tell lies anymore, but she didn't want to accuse King Jin blindly.
At this time, Xia He also said: "Yes, on the night of the tenth day of the lunar month, I also saw His Highness King Jin rudely forcing and abusing the princess, and then the princess left the house with me. The princess only talked to His Highness Prince Li a few times.
After saying a few words, he took the slave back to Prince Jin's Mansion. Within this month, the princess had not even had a private meeting with Prince Li, and her child belonged to His Highness Prince Jin. Now the slave is risking his life to tell the truth, and he knows it
There is only one way to die. I just beg the emperor to spare my family for the sake of telling the truth."
