I married the wrong man, and I sent him and his whole family to be executed.
Chapter 257: Ability to Testify
Chu Yuheng believed in Liu Ruchu's ability to handle cases, and he believed that he had already found evidence of Wei's guilt by now.
"Impossible!" A Lenglin didn't believe it.
Although he had no feelings for Concubine Wei, she had been helping him manage the backyard and helping him to become the crown prince over the years, so A Lenglin didn't believe that she would do such a thing.
"Call Wei!" King Yueying gave the order immediately.
Soon Concubine Wei was brought to the main hall. After seeing the situation on the scene, she immediately knelt down and saluted, and respectfully paid her respects to Queen Mother Yu of Yueying King.
"Now that the people are here, where is the evidence of the Ninth Prince?" A Lenglin asked proactively.
Before coming here, Concubine Wei had also heard some unfavorable remarks about herself, so she took the initiative to explain herself: "Your Majesty, please judge me. How could I possibly frame the Crown Prince? How could I possibly do anything unfavorable to Yueying?"
As they were talking, Anar sneaked in from outside the hall. She secretly handed the evidence collected by Liu Ruchu to Yu Wangfei, but Yu Wangfei just took a quick look at it and took it out.
As for why Liu Ruchu was not allowed to present the evidence in person, it was because Liu Ruchu was from Da Chu, and as a Da Chu person, he was not suitable to participate in such occasions as Yueying.
As the consort of Yueying, Chu Yuheng had nothing wrong with him in the palace, but Liu Ruchu was nothing.
"This is your jade pendant. Only you can use the pattern on it." Yu Wangfei took out the jade pendant and then took out a confession. "We have already caught the Great Chu spy who contacted you. What else do you have to say?"
Just now after Concubine Wei left the Prince's Mansion, Chu Yuheng asked the secret guards to follow her secretly. Later, they found out that she went to the Ghost Market. Liu Ruchu entered the Ghost Market after she left and captured the big Chu man.
Because Liu Ruchu was the Minister of Justice of Da Chu, the spies from Da Chu thought he was one of their own and were not on guard against him, so they told him everything.
"Yes, yes..." Concubine Wei suddenly panicked after seeing the confession. She looked at A Lenglin with a flickering expression and said after a long while, "Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't hide it for you."
Then Concubine Wei pretended to be in tears and told the story of how she was forced by A Lenglin: "These are all things that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to do. I am just a woman and I don't know what His Royal Highness wants to do, but I like him and I am his concubine. As long as he tells me to do something, I will do it."
"I never thought, Your Highness, that the things you asked me to do would actually harm Yueying Country. Your Highness, why did you want to harm me? Why did you want to harm Yueying?"
In just a few words, all the criticism was directed at A Lenglin.
After hearing this, the prince looked at Concubine Wei in disbelief. He instantly understood why she had framed him. It was all his fault.
"I am sorry for you." A Lenglin smiled bitterly.
Concubine Wei was kind to him. The position of Crown Prince was obtained by the Wei family with the help of him. The entire Crown Princess depended on Concubine Wei for management. He had promised her that he could give her supreme honor and status, but he could not give her love.
At the same time, A Lenglin also told Concubine Wei that there would only be one woman in his harem, and he would find a way to find her whatever she wanted.
Because the prince felt that he owed her something, he was very obedient to Concubine Wei.
Even now, A Lenglin didn't want to take the initiative to expose Concubine Wei's acting skills, but he would never admit that it was he who did it.
"But I have never betrayed Yueying. Please believe me, father." A Lenglin kowtowed.
"Brother, do you know something?" Yu Wangfei noticed his unusual mood and asked, "If you know the truth, just tell me. I believe that the emperor will handle it impartially."
A Lenglin did not answer this.
Because he couldn't explain too much. If he explained too much, he was afraid that what happened between him and Yineng would be exposed. He didn't want Yineng to be in the spotlight again.
Chu Yuheng was well aware of A Lenglin's concerns, so he did not take the initiative to speak out about the two of them, but this did not mean that he would let those who colluded with Chu Aotian go unpunished.
Before he entered the palace, he asked the secret guard to inform Princess Yineng of what happened today. If she still had the prince in her heart, she must be on her way to the palace at this moment.
King Yueying was also very annoyed. He didn't want the prince he had carefully trained to be deposed. However, A Lenglin did not make any excuses and just said simply, "I didn't do it." How could he believe it?
Just when the situation was tense, a palace maid suddenly reported that Princess Yineng was seeking a meeting outside.
"What is she doing here?" The Queen Mother snorted in dissatisfaction, "Isn't she recovering from her illness in the mansion?"
As the queen mother of a country, she looked down on Yineng at all, especially since Yineng was not her biological granddaughter, so after Yineng returned to the country, the queen mother wanted her to die.
It can be said that without the Empress Dowager's instruction, the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau would not dare to prescribe medicine for Yineng in this way.
"Since she's here, let her in." King Yueying ignored the Queen Mother's remarks and ordered the palace servants to invite Yineng in.
In his heart, Yineng has always been his biological daughter.
After receiving the message, Yineng hurried into the hall. She was wearing a white cloak and holding a hot water bottle in her hand. She looked extremely weak.
After entering the hall, Yineng handed the hot water bottle to the maid beside her, and then knelt down to pay her respects.
"You don't have to kneel anymore." King Yueying felt a little distressed, and then ordered, "Go get a chair."
"Thank you, father." Yineng nodded to show his gratitude.
A Lenglin knelt on the ground with his back to him, looking a little numb, while Concubine Wei was secretly delighted.
"Father, I can testify for the prince. He has never colluded with the Chu people, nor has he betrayed Yueying." Yineng said.
On the way here, Chu Yuheng's people had already told her about tonight's situation. Yi could still understand that the reason why A Lenglin did not defend himself was because he was concerned about her and did not want to put her on the table.
But she also didn't want to see the position of crown prince that A Lenglin had worked so hard to obtain go to waste. She could still see that A Lenglin would be a good emperor. If he could lead Yueying forward, it would be worth it even if she died.
"Why did Princess say that? Does Princess Princess do everything that His Highness does?" Concubine Wei asked deliberately, with an indescribable sense of pride on her face.
"Yes, I know everything." Yineng smiled calmly, "Father, the reason why the prince went to the shop opened by the Chu people is because only the Chu people have never humiliated me."
It was just a simple sentence, and King Yueying seemed to understand something instantly.
