Chapter 1889: Medicine Testing!
Jiang Zhennan and Prince Ping were summoned in. At the same time, the two assassins who had been brought in by the soldiers entered.
Jiang Zhennan held the little black bird in his arms.
When the Emperor saw this, his brows furrowed. He then asked sternly,” What’s going on? Didn’t I hand this case over to the Crown Prince? Why was he escorted to the palace again? Also, where did the Crown Prince and Princess Gu go?”
How could the Emperor not know what had happened on the way from the court to the palace?
He had the reports from his spies, so he was naturally clear about everything.
However, it was one thing to know and another to ask.
Jiang Zhennan reported,” Your Majesty, on the way here, the Crown Princess Consort suddenly disappeared from the Crown Prince’s residence. The Crown Prince rushed back to look for her, and Prince Gong was assassinated. The Princess of Guguo carried him back to the Lin Family Hospital for emergency treatment, so the two of them did not arrive in time!”
When the Emperor heard Jiang Zhennan’s report, his expression darkened even more. He asked sternly,” Why didn’t you interrogate them properly? Why did you suddenly send these two assassins to the palace?”
Without waiting for Jiang Zhennan to speak, Prince Ping suddenly said,” Imperial Brother, the Crown Princess Consort’s sudden disappearance must have something to do with Princess Lin Yuelan!”
When Jiang Zhennan heard this, his entire body emitted a sharp and cold aura. He said coldly,” Prince Ping, don’t speak nonsense without solid evidence! What did the disappearance of the Crown Princess Consort have to do with Princess Gu? You have to understand that before the Crown Princess Consort disappeared, Princess Guguo was always with us and never alone!”
Prince Ping said with conviction,” In the Crown Prince’s residence, we heard that the poison that Crown Princess Consort was poisoned by Princess Gu…”
” Prince Ping, please don’t slander my wife,” Jiang Zhennan shouted sternly.” The poison that the Crown Princess Consort was poisoned with has yet to be investigated. Please don’t pin the blame on Princess Guguo!”
Prince Ping said in disdain,” Hmph, even if Princess Gu didn’t personally poison it, it was her subordinates who did. Just because that subordinate coveted the position of Crown Prince. Therefore, even if the princess of Guguo did not know, she could not shirk responsibility. Great General, you should be very clear about how serious the crime of poisoning the Crown Princess Consort is. It might even implicate the entire Princess Manor and herself. Therefore, in order to prevent the Crown Prince from finding out the truth, she can only destroy all evidence from the source, right?”
When Jiang Zhennan heard this, his cold face instantly darkened, and his entire body emitted a cold aura.
Then, he said coldly, “The truth would be found out! However,”
He glanced at the two Assassins beside him who could not move and sneered.” Now, we should be dealing with these two assassins!”
Prince Ping also sneered mockingly.” Hehe, what Great General means is that the Crown Princess Consort’s disappearance is not important, right?”
Prince Ping deliberately blurred the main focus and directed everything to Lin Yuelan.
Then, he found an opportunity and… He glanced at the Emperor from the corner of his eyes.
The assassin was already in front of the Emperor. Now that they had no way out, they could only cut their losses.
“You…” Jiang Zhennan knew Prince Ping’s goal.” I believe that the Crown Princess Consort is a blessed person and will be safe!”
Prince Ping said scornfully,” Oh, so don’t…” Don’t you want the Crown Princess Consort anymore?
“Enough!” The Emperor shouted sternly,” Prince Ping, the Crown Prince will investigate the truth behind the Crown Princess Consort’s poisoning!”
When Prince Ping heard the Emperor’s words, his eyes suddenly turned red. He shouted angrily,” Imperial Brother, how long are you going to side with them? Do you really have to wait until our Yuwen family’s territory is handed over to them before you can believe that they have no ambition and no ulterior motives?”
“Prince Ping, please don’t slander me!” Jiang Zhennan was a little annoyed as he snapped,” Don’t pour dirty water on me and Princess Guguo!”
At this point, he paused for a moment, his sharp eyes sweeping across the two assassins. He did not want to waste his breath and said to the Emperor,” Your Majesty, the Princess of Guguo gave me two truth pills. If they take these pills, perhaps many things will be revealed.”
When the Emperor heard that, he immediately asked with great interest,” A truth pill? What was a truth pill? From the name of the medicine, it seems like a pill that makes people tell the truth, right?”
Jiang Zhennan nodded.” Yes, Your Majesty!” Then, he reported to the Emperor about the things he had obtained from the court, including the fake jade pendant that represented the Emperor’s identity!
“What?” When the Emperor heard this, his expression darkened, and he immediately became a little ugly. He was not angry but dignified, appearing even more fierce.” This matter must be investigated seriously!”
The matter of impersonating an identity, especially the matter of impersonating the emperor, was a major matter. It simply involved the crime of treason and could not be tolerated at all. Otherwise, the century-old Yuwen family might be destroyed in his hands.
Therefore, when he heard about this, he was furious.
He said to Jiang Zhennan,” Give him the medicine now!”
However, Prince Ping’s expression changed drastically when he heard this. He shouted in alarm,” Imperial Brother, you mustn’t!”
The Emperor’s expression turned ruthless as he shouted,” Prince Ping, do you have any objections?”
Prince Ping said fearfully,” Imperial Brother, we don’t know if this medicine is really the truth pill. What if it’s poison?”
Jiang Zhennan retorted sharply,” Prince Ping, why do we need to feed them poison? What good would it do us to poison them? Besides, if we really wanted them dead, why would Princess Guguo and I stop the assassins when they arrived? Prince Ping, please pay attention to evidence when you speak. Otherwise, if you speak nonsense in front of His Majesty, it can be determined as a crime of false accusation and deceiving the emperor!”
Prince Ping was unable to refute it for a moment, but he quickly defended himself.” Hmph, who knows if you’re just putting on an act in front of us to confuse us so that you can hide your intentions and goals.”
“You!” Jiang Zhennan was so angry that he almost laughed at Prince Ping’s pestering, but he immediately felt that there was no need to waste his breath on him. He took out three pills and said very seriously,” Your Majesty, before Princess Guguo gave me the medicine, she mentioned that some people might doubt the authenticity of this medicine. Therefore, she gave me one more pill so that I could let someone test the medicine first!” When he mentioned that there was someone, his gaze swept over Prince Ping.
Prince Ping was speechless. His expression was one of shock!
Eunuch Zhang was speechless. Slightly surprised!
The Emperor was speechless. It was really that girl’s style.
Looking at the three pills in Jiang Zhennan’s hand, he narrowed his eyes. He then picked one and said to Prince Ping,” Prince Ping, why don’t you try it?”
