Taking the blame for the fake daughter: After being released from prison, she went on a killing spre

The eunuch who risked his life to testify that Princess Chaoyang murdered the prince handed over a relic engraved with Princess Chaoyang's title.

"Your Majesty, Princess Chaoyang took advantage of the Fifth Prince's carelessness and pushed him into the water from behind. I was so anxious that I jumped in to save him, but Princess Chaoyang held me tightly and refused to let go. As I was struggling with her, I pulled off the relic on the princess' wrist..."

At that time, the lotus pond was located behind the rockery in the southwest corner of Yujing Garden. Few people came here usually. In addition, it had rained two days ago, causing the water in the pond to surge and become turbid.

By the time the young eunuch finally shook off Princess Chaoyang and jumped down to save the Fifth Prince, the Fifth Prince had already drowned.

In order to prevent her evil deeds from being exposed, Princess Chaoyang simply wanted to drown the young eunuch, so she threw stones at him and prevented him from reaching the shore.

Due to exhaustion, the young eunuch choked on water.

When he woke up, he found it was already dark and he was still floating in the pond. Perhaps because the lotus leaves covered his body, no one found him.

When the young eunuch climbed out of the pool, he found that not only the Fifth Prince was dead, but all the palace maids in the Fifth Prince's palace had also been executed.

So he was so scared that he hid himself. He thought about reporting Princess Chaoyang, but Princess Chaoyang, who was only nine years old, was the most beloved princess of Emperor Jing Zhao besides the fifth prince. How could she believe the words of a servant like him?

If his accusation failed, not only Emperor Jing Zhao but also Princess Chaoyang would not let him off easily, so he was afraid.

So he found an opportunity to sneak out of the palace and hid there for several years.

The reason he took the initiative to reveal the truth this time was because he was suffering from an incurable disease and his time was running out. In addition, there were rumors that Princess Chaoyang had angered Heaven and aroused public outrage, so he mustered up the courage to expose the truth of that year, hoping that the Fifth Prince's spirit in heaven could rest in peace.

Emperor Jing Zhao took the relic passed to him by Eunuch Gao with trembling hands. When he saw the word "Chao" engraved on it by Eunuch Gao himself, his fists suddenly clenched, and anger rose in his eyes.

When he ascended the throne, he asked the monks of the Huguo Temple for several relics. He gave six of them to his princes and princesses. Each relic was engraved with a special mark belonging to them.

He earnestly hoped that the relics transformed from these merits would bring unity and harmony to his children, so he did not allow them to lose the relics.

But he still remembered that Princess Chaoyang always had a relic tied to her hand. If the one in front of him was real, then the one in her hand must be fake.

"Go to Zaohua Palace..."

Inside Zaohua Palace, a group of palace maids and eunuchs knelt in a row.

Princess Chaoyang paced anxiously, "Have you been feeling complacent lately? You have heard all those rumors outside. Do you think that the emperor would really let me die?"

"Princess, calm down. I dare not."

"Don't dare? Why don't you dare? Do you think I didn't hear you laughing today? I'm in this situation now, why are you so happy? Don't worry! If my father really wants me to die, I will ask you to be buried with me, and... and that bitch Su Yunling, we have to die together, hahaha..."

"Princess, please spare my life..." The palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they trembled and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy.

Princess Chaoyang's face twisted. "It is your blessing to have you bitches buried with me, so you should smile! Why are you all so sad? I want you to smile..."

"The Emperor has arrived——"

The distortion on Princess Chaoyang's face had not yet subsided, and when Emperor Jingzhao entered the palace, he saw a princess who was so violent and crazy that she looked like a devil.

"Greetings, Father..."

Emperor Jing Zhao rarely gave her a favorable look, but went straight to the point and pulled off the relic from her wrist.

Princess Chaoyang looked panicked, but did not dare to move.

As expected, Emperor Jing Zhao's face became darker and darker, and the calm before the storm was full of danger.

"How dare you, Chaoyang! You actually used a fake relic to deceive the emperor. Do you know your crime?"

Princess Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, then knelt down immediately: "Father, I know my crime. I did this because I was afraid that I would lose the relic and upset you. I definitely did not intend to deceive you."

"Are you afraid that if you lose it, I will be unhappy, or are you afraid that if you murder the prince, your deeds will be exposed and I will chop off your head?"

Princess Chaoyang's last line of defense collapsed. She was used to being domineering, so she even forgot to quibble at this moment.

It was at this time that Su Yunling was forced by Su Zhaohong to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

On the palace road, Su Zhaohong kept telling Su Yunling: "When you see the princess later, kowtow and admit your mistake. You are committing a crime of disrespect by defying the emperor's authority. If the emperor blames you, it will surely bring trouble to the whole family."

Su Yunling picked her ears to make sure his words could pass smoothly through both ears.

When Emperor Jing Zhao heard from his entourage that Su Zhaohong and his daughter wanted to see him, he directly invited them to Zaohua Palace.

As soon as Su Yunling entered the hall, she noticed that the atmosphere in the hall was serious and dangerous.

Princess Chaoyang finally had her day to kneel, and all her hard work over the past few days paid off.

After the two of them knelt down and saluted, Su Zhaohong pushed her back, indicating that she pleaded guilty.

Su Yunling rarely disagreed with him. She knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I want to sue Princess Chaoyang for disregarding the law, oppressing the people, and taking human lives... Please make the decision, Your Majesty."

Su Zhaohong's face suddenly turned pale, and he wished he could cover her mouth.

Princess Chaoyang was so angry that she was about to bite her teeth off. Now any small thing that was not in her favor could become the last bit of fatherly love that Emperor Jingzhao had for her.

Emperor Jing Zhao seemed numb. He looked at Su Yunling who was kneeling on the ground coldly and asked, "Did Princess Hemin also listen to those rumors outside and plead for the people?"

"Your Majesty, I am here to sue Princess Chaoyang for putting poison in the herbs in my pharmacy."

"Poisoning?" The numbness on Emperor Jing Zhao's face was once again broken by shock.

"Father, I didn't..." Princess Chaoyang denied hastily, but was silenced by a cold look from Emperor Jing Zhao.

Su Yunling continued, "Your Majesty, Princess Chaoyang had a conflict with me earlier. In order to vent her anger, she actually put poison in my medicine hall. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and the poisoned herbs were destroyed. Otherwise, if those herbs were sold, at least hundreds of people would have died."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing Zhao was furious, "Does Princess Hemin have any evidence to prove that what you said is true?"

Su Yunling simply ignored Su Zhaohong who was making all kinds of faces behind him, and after obtaining Emperor Jing Zhao's consent, brought in the two witnesses and the remaining poison.

When Princess Chaoyang saw the two people, her face suddenly changed.

"How is that possible? They clearly took poison..."

Before Emperor Jing Zhao could interrogate her, Princess Chaoyang spoke hastily, which was tantamount to confessing something.

Su Yunling smiled faintly: "Princess, don't be surprised. I don't have any other skills, but I happen to be able to cure this world's strange poison..."

The two witnesses confessed all the evil deeds committed by Princess Chaoyang in front of Emperor Jing Zhao.

Facing the murderous intent rising in Emperor Jingzhao's eyes, the color on Princess Chaoyang's face faded away bit by bit. She was no longer as daring as before, and was only filled with panic.

"Your Majesty, the loss suffered by a minister is a small matter, but the death of innocent people is a big matter! The princess's behavior this time will inevitably ruin your reputation of loving the people like your own children. Please do something for those palace maids who died innocently at the hands of the princess, and for the millions of people in Dayin who support your majesty." Su Yunling knelt on the ground, speaking earnestly with a stern look on his face.

Su Zhaohong was already disheveled in the wind. He wanted to say something but didn't dare to say anything.

After an unbearable silence, Emperor Jing Zhao could only hear his deep voice trembling slightly:

"Give, Princess Chaoyang, the poisoned wine..."
