Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C165
Bai Ruyi stood up and quickly walked to Yu Su: “What do you mean by that?”
Yu Su raised her head, with tears in her eyes, she looked wronged and wronged, “All of this was ordered by the Seventh Prince, and this silver needle was personally handed to me by him.”
“I was originally a girl from the Linlang Workshop, but Seventh Prince sent people to find me and spent a large amount of money to dig me up into the Liusu Pavilion.” Yu Su slowly explained, “Seventh Prince and the crown prince are blood-related brothers, so they naturally know that the crown prince’s favorite target is his Liusu Pavilion. Seventh Prince even called me to Rainbow Garden’s study room and told me all of the crown prince’s preferences, so I had to keep them in my heart. ”
“By familiarizing myself with the Crown Prince’s hobbies, I managed to attract him to my side within two to three days. After I entered the crown prince’s mansion and accompanied the crown prince, the Seventh Prince made me sing with the crown prince every day. This caused the crown prince’s energy to run out, and thus spread the news that the crown prince was in shock due to going to the south.
Yu Su once again drooped her tears. “I passed my days in pain and fear, only because the Seventh Prince threatened me with my life, and forced me to …”
“Finally, just when I thought that everything was about to end, the Seventh Prince gave me this box.” Yu Su pointed to the box opened in front of him, “He taught me how to use the silver needles to kill people, and the person he wanted me to kill was the crown prince.”
Once Yu Su finished, almost everyone in the hall held their breath.
Yu Su wiped away her tears, “Seventh Prince told me to pull the handle of the silver needle while the crown prince was sleeping. He aimed at the blood vessels on the crown prince’s neck and pushed the needle to the end in one go.”
“After a short while, the crown prince’s entire body spasmed. After twitching a few times, he finally stopped moving. I panicked and hid the needle in my undergarment with my hands and feet. I crawled out of the hall … ”
Bai Ruyi’s face sunk. “If what you said is the truth, then why did the Seventh Prince capture you and interrogate you?”
“Just to falsely frame Your Highness!” I first kill the crown prince, and then reveal my flaws and get caught by the Seventh Prince. After that, I cannot endure his interrogation and reveal the fifth prince’s identity and the crime of killing the crown prince. In this way, only Seventh Prince remains of the princes who had grown up in Great Zhou. ”
Yu Su’s words were reasonable, Bai Ruyi had no choice but to believe it.
“Do you have conclusive evidence?” Bai Ruyi pursed his lips, “Anyone can speak empty words, and everyone has witnessed how Seventh Prince only returned to the capital the day the crown prince was buried.”
This is the cleverness of the Seventh Prince. He wanted to remove all suspicions of himself, so even though he had returned to the capital early, he went outside the city on the day the crown prince was buried, pretending to have just arrived. Yu Su took a deep breath, “There is evidence as well. As a girl in a brothel, I believe she would never enter the Seventh Prince’s study room, but right now, I can tell you everything about the arrangement of the study room. All you need to do is compare them and you will know that what I have said is the truth!”
Once Yu Su’s words came out, Jin Xiaolou’s brows knitted deeply as she racked her brains to think of a way to help Gao Lang wash away her grievances.
It was just that Yu Su had come prepared, and Nan Yang had given her the chance. If Yu Su were to reveal the layout of the study, Gao Lang would not be able to wash it off even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Thinking about that, Jin Xiaolou looked over to Nan Yang, only to see that after hearing what Yu Su said, she actually let out a sigh of relief.
Sensing Jin Xiaolou’s gaze on him, Nan Yang turned her face to the side, laughed lightly, and mocked in a low voice: “Do you think I’m as stupid as you think?”
Nan Yang raised her eyebrows. After so many years of keeping the Rainbow Garden in order, she was not someone who would waste her time.
Yu Su began to explain in the hall, from the study room to Gao Lang’s desk, to how the pen, ink, paper, and paper were placed. Jin Xiaolou heard everything clearly, and what Yu Su had said was completely different from the things she had done in her study.
“I was trying to coax him.” Nan Yang laughed complacently, “A person who is so confident in the Fifth Prince would never think that a mere servant girl like me would have the guts to deceive him.”
“Even if seventh grandfather’s script were to land in their hands, they would not be afraid.” Nan Yang’s smile became even wider, “That’s only what I wrote after imitating Seventh Elder’s handwriting. There are nine points that look alike, if you want to compare them carefully, you’re still lacking one point in the end.”
“It’s not that I can’t get 10 points, but that point was a flaw that I purposely missed out on.”
From the moment Nan Yang decided to cooperate with the Fifth Prince, she knew that she was scheming with the tiger and could not be careless for even a moment.
What Fifth Prince wanted her to do, she mixed it with the truth and falsehood. She was sure that Fifth Prince did not put his in his eyes, that arrogance and arrogance would always look down on the opponent, and that the unremarkable leeches would be able to suck out all the blood from their bodies.
Nan Yang didn’t know what Fifth Prince wanted to do with these insignificant things, but to Nan Yang, this matter was of no concern to him.
Jin Xiaolou suddenly laughed.
This Nan Yang was hateful to her, but at the same time, she admired and admired him.
Although Nan Yang hated him, she treated Gao Lang like he was the same.
It was his fortune to have someone by Gao Lang’s side who was wholehearted and loyal to him.
According to Fifth Prince’s plan, Yu Su wanted to take that piece of trash and keep him in a tight grip. For the king’s sin of murdering a brother, he would at least be demoted to a commoner and be exiled for a thousand miles.
Right now, Fifth Prince’s plans were in vain. Jin Xiaolou smiled faintly, she could still fight back and give Fifth Prince a surprise!
Jin Xiaolou blinked her eyes at Nan Yang, pushed away the people in front of him and walked towards the hall.
He bowed towards Bai Ruyi and Gao Lang: “Master can send someone to take a look at the furnishings in Seventh Prince’s study. But it will definitely be very different from what Miss Yu Su said. ”
“Impossible!” Yu Su’s face swelled up, “I saw it with my own eyes. If it’s really different, then it’s been rearranged!”
Bai Ruyi’s brows knitted even more. If there was no conclusive evidence, then it meant that the public’s words were reasonable, and if it involved the princes, then it would be difficult to solve the problem.
Jin Xiaolou ignored Yu Su, and directly said to Bai Ruyi: “This matter is more or less related to the Fifth Prince, I hope that Master can invite the Fifth Prince to the great hall.”
Bai Ruyi nodded his head, these five princes could also be considered as victims, adding on the fact that the Seventh Prince was suspected of killing people, he should ask the five halls to bear witness to the situation.
Immediately, he ordered two groups of people to split into two. One group brought the painter to the study room of the Seventh Prince in Rainbow Garden, while the other group went to request for the Fifth Prince.
The Fifth Prince had previously said that it was inappropriate to move around as the old illness had returned. He rarely showed his face in the capital. It was only the time it took for half a cup of tea to brew a cup of tea, yet he had already arrived.
Fifth Prince Zhao Jin was dressed in a black embroidered and gold double-breasted long robe, black Na Yin boots, his black hair was tied up with a gold crown, it made him look clear and dazzling.
Zhao Jin walked towards the hall with quick steps. He did not look like he had a relapse.
Passing by Yu Su and Jin Xiaolou who were kneeling at the bottom of the hall, Zhao Jin’s brows faintly twitched.
Jin Xiaolou also took advantage of the moment when he was passing by to shrug her nose with all her might, and then smiled.
Zhao Jin sat beside Gao Lang, but the two of them did not even say a word of greeting.
After Zhao Jin sat down for a while, the painter and his group of people returned. The blueprint for the study was handed to Bai Ruyi, and with a glance, he knew that what Yu Su said was all wrong.
He walked forward and held out the blueprint to Yu Su: “You better come from the truth, otherwise our justice courts will not just be for show.”
Yu Su’s face was pale white, she subconsciously raised her face to look at Fifth Prince.
Fifth Prince, on the other hand, remained calm and collected. He gently rubbed his fingers together with his eyebrows that were slightly bent.
Jin Xiaolou’s gaze was immediately attracted by Zhao Jin’s finger that was gently rubbing it. The two fingers were long and fair, as if they were carved out of jade bones, but looking carefully, there were faint green scars on the flank of the fingers.
Looks like … It looked as if it had been dyed with some kind of plant juice.
Jin Xiaolou was suddenly enlightened, and she understood where that deep and elegant fragrance was coming from …
“What, you are willing to let me interfere with the case that the Royal Father has entrusted to you?” Zhao Jin’s words were directed towards Gao Lang, but what he was looking at were the people present.
Gao Lang gave a cold laugh, but didn’t answer him, and only said to Yu Su: “You don’t have a single piece of evidence, use any other methods you have.”
Gao Lang was also saying these words to Zhao Jin. Seeing Yu Su kneeling in place and hesitating and not responding, her expression softened and she said to Jin Xiaolou who was beside her: “My wife, what do you want to say?”
Everyone in the hall was shocked when he called her his wife.
Jin Xiaolou had long gotten used to it and calmly walked two steps forward, “This matter can’t be clearer. The culprit is Liusu Pavilion’s number one Miss Yu Su, the murder weapon is also placed in front of him, the killing technique was described very carefully by Miss Yu Su just now, and the most important thing right now is that Miss Yu Su and the crown prince have no enmity with one another, so who was the one who sent her to kill this person!”
“That’s right!” Bai Ruyi immediately praised his when he saw how clear this young lady’s thoughts were. But just as he was about to speak the next sentence, he hesitated, unsure if he should call his young lady or the imperial concubine. His words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out.
Jin Xiaolou also thought that Bai Ruyi was right and still had something to say, but when she looked at his own expression, it changed again and again. After a long while, she still did not speak, and could only continue speaking without paying attention to: “Did Seventh Prince send Yu Su to kill the crown prince and frame Fifth Prince, or did Fifth Prince send Yu Su to kill the crown prince and frame Seventh Prince?”
The people outside the hall felt dizzy listening to him, why did he drag Fifth Prince in again? Wasn’t he the victim?
Jin Xiaolou then walked two steps forward: “Then we have to see which prince the current Yu Su, who is presented to us, actually has the evidence to come into contact with.”
Yu Su took a deep breath: “I have only seen the Seventh Prince, I have indeed been to the Seventh Prince’s study, but this Fifth Prince, I have never seen before.”
“Words have no proof!” Jin Xiaolou laughed, “You said that you have seen the Seventh Prince and went to the Seventh Prince’s study, but you said that the layout of the study was a mess, how do you know that you are not making it up? As for why you said you haven’t met the Fifth Prince, then why … You and Fifth Prince have the same scent? ”
Yu Su and Zhao Jin deeply frowned at the same time.
Yu Su was shocked, but Zhao Jin was also regretful after comprehending it.
Zhao Jin bent his fingers into a fist.
“Fifth Prince, you don’t have to hide it. I’ve already seen it.” Jin Xiaolou took another two steps forward, and almost walked in front of Zhao Jin.
