Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

The evidence is conclusive, Chi Ji is the mastermind of the venomous snake case.

Emperor Xia Ming was furious and wanted to punish Chi Ji immediately.

Xie Jin said, "Your Majesty, the instigator of the Viper Case is not only Chi Ji, but also Xie Yu. Xie Yu and Chi Ji worked together to cause the Viper Case. She is also one of the masterminds."

Xie Yu argued: "Prince Rong, I have said that I don't know what those merchants are doing in the city, nor do I know that they are assassins transporting poisonous snakes to commit a serious crime in the capital. I am not the mastermind."

Xue Ming and Xiang Shang didn't believe it.

As the head of the Ministry of Personnel, Xue Ming had heard about the fact that Xie Yu replaced the crown prince and was banished to the cold palace, although he did not know the details.

Prince Gaoyang gave up his military power for no reason and retired to his hometown with the former fake prince. He heard some gossip that was related to the eldest princess. Therefore, the hatred between Xie Yu and Prince Rong and Feng Qingluan had already been formed. Xie Yu had enough motives to join forces with Chi Ji to destroy their wedding and send people to assassinate the people in the Marquis' Mansion.

She said she was not involved, but he didn't believe it, and His Majesty should not believe it even more.

Chi Ji walked towards the center of the hall with an expressionless face:

"Your Majesty, I planned the poisonous snake case. The Queen Mother was the most noble person in Huaibei, but she was framed by Prince Rong and sent to the cold palace to suffer humiliation and bullying. I did this to avenge the Queen Mother. I will not quibble about the crime I have to admit.

The Queen Mother was instigated by me to contact Feng Yangyu. She didn't know why I asked Feng Kun and others to enter the city. She was implicated in the venomous snake case and was also a victim. Your Majesty, please spare her for the Queen Mother's contribution to the prosperity and peace of diplomatic relations between Daxia and Huaibei for more than 20 years, and save your Majesty and the people at Baisheng Tower regardless of her life. "

He took all the responsibilities on himself, which was something he had discussed with Xie Yu long ago.

On the day the truth was revealed, Xie Yu was only concerned with protecting himself, and he took all the blame.

Xie Yu was secretly delighted that Chi Ji was totally devoted to her and all those years of dealing with him were not in vain.

She looked shocked and sad, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said sadly:

"Chi Ji, you are so stupid. You deceived me and committed such a big mistake. You killed the people of Da Xia whom I would risk my life to save. You have thousands of ways to seek justice for me, but why did you choose the most heartbreaking one? I am so disappointed."

She cried so realistically, as if she was expressing her true feelings. Feng Yangyu couldn't bear it and roared:

"You didn't know? This is a huge joke. I think you want to let Chi Ji take the blame in order to escape the blame! If you don't know anything, why did you send Yi Wuling to kill me? Those women are all your subordinates. How can you argue about this? Did Chi Ji deceive you and let you kill me?"

Xie Yu's eyeballs moved under his eyelashes.

Feng Yangyu revealed an important piece of evidence.

Some of the Yiwulings she sent out to kill Feng Yangyu were caught by Xie Jin. They were witnesses in her attempt to silence Feng Yangyu. If they denied it, Xie Jin would definitely refute it.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Yu frankly admitted:

"Your Majesty, I did send people to attack Feng Yangyu later, but I was confused at the time. Because of the venomous snake case, I asked Feng Yangyu to do something. I am also a normal person. I would be scared when encountering such a thing. I lost my judgment in a hurry. It is my fault."

These are the only two points about her involvement in the venomous snake case. She did not deny it but admitted it instead, portraying herself as a little woman who was instigated to commit the crime for fear of being implicated.

Although it was a serious crime, compared with the mastermind, she was at most an accomplice. With her status and contributions, she could completely offset this part of the guilt.

Xie Jin did not speak, and the role of the Minister of Justice became apparent at this time:

"Your Majesty, according to the Princess, she assisted Chi Ji in killing the people. This is not a small crime. Your Majesty, please seek justice for the innocent people who were harmed."

Xie Jin had expected Chi Ji to take the blame for Xie Yu, and the current situation is indeed like that.

Xie Yu refused to admit that she was knowingly involved in the case. Chi Ji took the initiative to take responsibility for all the crimes. It would be difficult to convict Xie Yu as the mastermind of the venomous snake case.

Xie Jin did not say anything, waiting for Emperor Xia Ming's decision.

Feng Qingluan also kept calm and remained silent.

Seeing the two of them like this, Feng Yangyu felt annoyed.

After going through so much trouble to trace the venomous snake case to Xie Yu, these two people did not pursue the matter after the other party made a speech that distorted the truth. What's the big deal?

He was worried that Xie Yu would escape punishment, so he became murderous and looked for an opportunity to kill Xie Yu!

All eyes in the palace were focused on him. Emperor Xia Ming said:

"The venomous snake case caused heavy casualties among the people. No matter what the reason, the disaster has already occurred. Chi Ji is cruel and vicious and cannot be forgiven lightly. According to the laws of Daxia, Chi Ji will be executed by slow slicing. After his death, his head will be hung in the vegetable market and cannot be taken down within a month!"

Chi Ji closed his eyes and his face turned pale.

After dealing with Chi Ji, Emperor Xia Ming looked at Xie Yu:

"The princess was instigated to commit a serious crime and is an accomplice in the poisonous snake case. In consideration of her contribution to the security of the northwestern border of Daxia and her rescue of the people in Baisheng Tower, she is stripped of her title as the Grand Princess Tiying and forced to leave the palace to practice in the Fahua Temple, chanting sutras for the people who died unjustly every day. She is never allowed to return to the palace!"

He did not take Xie Yu's life, leaving her a chance to turn things around.

Xie Jin would not give him this opportunity:

"Your Majesty's punishment for the eldest princess is too light. I am dissatisfied."

Emperor Xia Ming's eyes were sharp:

"Although the princess made mistakes, her contributions are obvious to all. Rewards and punishments are clear, so this matter is settled."

Xie Jin said: "The princess has 5,000 Yiwulings working for her. Since she is easily confused and instigated, she should be careful not to make big mistakes in the future. Please take these people back, my brother."

Emperor Xia Ming stared at him. Xie Jin wanted to remove Xie Yu's minions.

If her Yiwu Order is revoked, Xie Yu will have no one to use. How can he deal with Xie Jin and Feng Qingluan?

Xie Yu knew Xie Jin's intention. She was guilty and had no right to make demands, so she said:

"Your Majesty, I have deeply reflected on my mistakes and will never make the same mistake again. I will not order Yiwu to act on my own again. Please consider this matter carefully."

Xue Ming said at this time: "In the building, it is clearly forbidden to raise troops privately. Although the 5,000 Yiwulings are all women, they also have a military model. It is really impossible to continue. Moreover, the eldest princess has been stripped of her title and has become a nun, so the Yiwulings should not be allowed to exist."

Emperor Xia Ming now understood why Xie Jin had left the two ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice here. He was waiting for him here.

He could no longer cover up the issue, so he ordered:

"What Lord Xue said makes sense. Then all the Yiwu Orders will be surrendered and the Ministry of Personnel will take over and then hand it over to the Ministry of War."

Xue Ming said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
