The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Chapter 681 Rebellion

Wei Zhao immediately said to the old emperor, "Your Majesty, this account book is hidden in the secret compartment of the Zuo Imperial Physician's study. When the princess forced the Zuo Imperial Physician to prescribe medicine, he was worried that the princess would abandon him, so he secretly took this account book back to the palace and hid it. He wanted to be on guard against the princess's murderous intentions one day. This account book could serve as a life-saving talisman. A while ago, the Zuo Imperial Physician's entire family was killed, and I have found some important clues about this matter."

Hearing this, a cold light flashed across the old emperor's eyes.

"But did you find out the identity of the murderer?"

Wei Zhao slowly raised his head and observed the old emperor. "I have found out that the murder of the entire family of Zuo Imperial Physician is related to a killer organization called Wushengmen. When I was investigating the case, I was chased by people from Wushengmen in the street. They seemed to be trying their best to stop me from investigating the case. Moreover, after the young master of the Zuo family disappeared, people from Wushengmen were also looking for his whereabouts. This is enough to prove that Wushengmen is indeed related to the murder of the entire Zuo family."

The old emperor sent people to kill the entire Zuo family. His purpose was to frame the eldest princess. He should have known in advance that he was secretly investigating his mother's death in childbirth. The old emperor also knew that his mother was murdered by the eldest princess, so he secretly set up this game to frame all the blame on the eldest princess.

In this matter, the old emperor and he had a common enemy. Even if the death of the entire Zuo family was not caused by the eldest princess, the death of the Zuo imperial physician was also indirectly caused by the eldest princess, and she could not be free from responsibility.

The old emperor looked at the eldest princess with a deep gaze: "Ronghua, now that the evidence is conclusive, do you plead guilty?"

The Grand Princess stood upright in the center of the hall. "Even if the tonic I gave to Liu had problems, it was unintentional. Now that time has passed, Liu's personal maid has lost consciousness, and the left imperial physician is dead. Who can prove that the evidence presented by Old Lady Liu is true? It seems to me that some people are resentful of me and deliberately fabricated false evidence to frame me, and they chose the day of the Sixth Prince and Yang'er's wedding. They are really worthy of death!"

Seeing that the Grand Princess refused to admit it, Jiang Ci had already expected her reaction.

Wei Zhao followed Jiang Ci's instructions, took out another secret letter and knelt in the hall.

"Your Majesty, I have a secret letter from Southern Xinjiang in my hand. Please take a look at it personally."

Hearing the word "Nanjiang", cracks finally appeared on the proud face of the Grand Princess. Nanjiang, how could he have a secret letter from Nanjiang?

"Send it up!"

Yang Zhong, who was standing aside, glanced at the Grand Princess and had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Yang Zhong?"

The old emperor glanced sideways and called out coldly to Yang Zhong who was standing beside him.

"promise!"

Yang Zhong hurriedly walked up to Wei Zhao. Wei Zhao glared at Yang Zhong, took back the letter in his hand and walked forward.

"Your Majesty, this secret letter is extremely important. Please allow me to deliver it to you."

The old emperor was silent for a moment before he responded.

Wei Zhao walked up the steps and personally delivered the letter to the old emperor.

Queen Zhao took a look at the letter and roughly guessed that the content of the letter should be related to the Grand Princess.

The old emperor opened the letter and became furious when he saw its contents.

"Ronghua, you are so bold! I have loved you so much over the years, but you...you want to kill me? No wonder...no wonder I was still very healthy four years ago, but I suddenly got a strange disease and became bedridden. It turned out that you colluded with the Southern Xinjiang Wu Clan to poison me! You are so vicious! And Yang Zhong, you have served me for many years, and I have treated you well in the past. I never thought that you were just a dog she planted by my side!"

Yang Zhong was so frightened that his brain froze for a moment. After he came to his senses, he knelt on the ground and cried out for justice.

"Your Majesty, I have never had any contact with the princess. Please don't listen to the slander. I am innocent!"

The old emperor sneered, "The letter was written by your master himself. I can recognize the handwriting at a glance. Yang Zhong, do you think I really don't know anything? You have been doing a lot of things for Ronghua in the dark over the years. Since they are all small matters, I just turned a blind eye. I originally thought that you were just greedy for money to support yourself in the future, but now it seems that you have no loyalty to me! Come, take this dog slave away and beat him to death!"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am truly wronged, Your Majesty. Please look into this matter clearly!"

Yang Zhong kowtowed and begged for mercy repeatedly. Seeing that he was still unwilling to give out the master behind the scenes, the old emperor was completely disappointed in him and directly ordered the guards to take him away for execution.

After dealing with Yang Zhong, the old emperor looked at the eldest princess with a sharp gaze.

"Ronghua, you poisoned Liu and you dared to poison me. I can no longer tolerate such a vicious person. I will take the princess to the prison of the Ministry of Justice and keep her under strict supervision. I will investigate this case myself!"

"Hahaha! Royal brother, it's too late for you to take action against me now!" The eldest princess' face was full of arrogance.

"Over the years, I have suppressed my temper and played tricks on you. In order to gain your trust, I was willing to give up my power and stay in the backyard, but I have never obeyed you. I was the one that my father loved the most, but he often sighed in front of me and asked me why I was a woman. So what if I was a woman? Ambition and revenge have never been measured by gender. Since there has never been a female emperor since ancient times, then I will be the first one in the history. I can stabilize the country with my literary skills and fight on the battlefield with my martial arts skills. This throne should have belonged to me!"

After she finished speaking, the eldest princess shouted towards the door.

"Somebody come!"

At her command, a burst of orderly footsteps was soon heard outside the hall, and a group of troops quickly rushed into the hall and surrounded the civil and military officials and their families present.

The old emperor stood up and pointed at the eldest princess and scolded her.

"What do you want to do?"

The eldest princess chuckled, "Brother, can't you see? These are soldiers from the Imperial City Department. Now, 20,000 soldiers from the Imperial City Department have surrounded the palace, and 40,000 of my private soldiers have already secretly poured into the capital. Now the entire capital is under my sphere of influence. Brother, don't struggle. Just give up the throne and let others take over. Since we are blood relatives, I can spare your life!"

"You want to rebel?"

The princess' eyes turned cold, and she said viciously: "I am just taking back everything that belongs to me!"
