However, the other midwives who delivered the baby did not die. They could prove that the former Crown Princess had many opportunities to receive effective treatment after giving birth to His Highness, but it was the midwife who repeatedly ignored the treatment.
He also told them not to meddle in other people's business. Several of the midwives back then had died, but there was still one who was still alive and living in the capital. The Jinyiwei had found her and obtained a confession from her.
The testimony of Lu's personal maid and midwife confirmed that the death of the late Crown Princess was planned by Lu. There are witnesses and evidence. Her crimes are too numerous to list. I beg Your Highness to make a decision for the late Crown Princess. "
At the end of his speech, Jiang Li actually knelt down and shouted.
After hearing these words, the whole court was shocked.
"This... this is actually true? There are even witnesses?"
"That bitch Lu actually had the guts to murder the late Crown Princess!"
"So, my sister was really killed by Lu, and now there is evidence?"
"My poor niece, Brother Chang, I'm so sorry for not protecting her well."
"Could the Jinyiwei have been tortured into confessing?"
The whole court was talking about this matter. The Huaixi Group was so angry that they wanted to ask for an imperial decree to execute the entire Lu family.
But Zhu Yunxun asked, "Jiang Li, did you Jinyiwei torture him into confessing?"
"Your Highness, although I have used some torture, I have definitely not forced a confession out of him. I have already brought out all the witnesses from the imperial prison and they are waiting to be summoned outside the palace!
Not only was the death of the former Crown Princess caused by the Lu family, I have also found out that the death of His Royal Highness Prince Yu was also related to the Lu family. The Lu family colluded with the imperial physician and plotted to murder His Royal Highness Prince Yu.
That imperial physician has committed suicide out of fear of punishment, but he still has a son who is also in the Imperial Hospital, named Jiang Yunfei! I had him thrown into the Imperial Prison the day before yesterday.
Before he was tortured for many times, he confessed that his father and Lu Shi had conspired to murder His Royal Highness Prince Yu. He had already signed a confession and was waiting outside the palace to be summoned."
Jiang Li spoke loudly again at this time.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunhuan also understood what Jiang Li meant.
The use of torture means that there was some element of forced confession involved.
But this is not important. What is important is that there is enough evidence.
"Come here, call the witness into the hall."
Zhu Yunxun ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Jinyiwei immediately went to do it.
Zhu Yunhuan picked up the evidence and said, "My dear ministers, the evidence is irrefutable that the Lu family colluded with foreign officials to murder the former crown prince. What do you think should be done?"
"I think that an order should be issued immediately to strip her of her status as Crown Princess, demote her to a commoner, and throw her into death row!"
"I think there is no need for a trial. Just behead him!"
"I think that slow death is better."
"I think that the entire clan should be exterminated first, then they should be tortured to death, and finally their bones should be crushed and scattered into ashes!"
"I think we should wait a little longer. The witness may change his testimony. It is better not to draw conclusions until the evidence is completely confirmed."
Civil and military officials all held their own opinions.
"What about the imperial physician who helped murder the crown prince and the eldest grandson of the emperor? Will he commit suicide out of fear of punishment and let the matter go? This would be considered murdering two crown princes!" Zhu Yunheng asked again.
Regarding Lu's matter, if there is no solid evidence, Jiangnan Group will not let it go so easily, and they will probably make a lot of nonsense outside.
As the saying goes, it's scary.
Zhu Yunhuan does not have the capital to make a sweeping move now, so he just needs to wait for a while.
It’s not like we have to wait long anyway.
The same goes for dealing with everyone else first.
"Your Highness, plotting to murder the crown prince and the emperor's eldest grandson is an unforgivable crime. All nine generations of your clan should be executed!" Lan Yu stood up and said.
"I second the proposal."
The Huaixi Group had no objection to this.
"I second the motion." The others did not disagree with this. They would rather die than let their fellow Taoist die.
It doesn't involve their interests anyway.
"Then let's do as you all requested and execute all nine clans! Confiscate all the assets of the nine clans and put them into the national treasury." Zhu Yunhuan also made the final decision on this.
Now there is only one Lu left.
Zhu Yunhuan was also thinking about how to better deal with the Lu family.
