Chapter 873 (2/2)
Xiang Yun looked at the maid who was dressed in fine cloth: ”raise your head.”
The little maid raised her head, her eyebrows were really pretty, and she cried pitifully.
Xiang Yun pointed to the torture device nearby: ”you tell me the truth now, I can avoid you a flesh and skin pain.”
The little servant girl was so frightened that she began to cry: ”no, I'm an orphan. I served the princess before she got married. There was no one I like. On that day, the princess went to the storehouse to see things and sent everyone out. She ordered me to go to Doctor Zhang to ask for arsenic. She also asked me to ask for arsenic secretly by any means. Otherwise, she would sell me to the kiln. I really have no way to lie to Dr. Zhang... ”
”Pull it out for a physical examination.” Xiang Yun has no feelings.
After two cups of tea, his subordinates came back and said, ”my Lord, that servant girl is really not a virgin.”
Xiang Yun nodded and asked to be executed. When they had the last breath, they still didn't retract their confessions. This made people pull down and save them to bring them back when Emperor Jiahe wanted to judge people in person.
It's time to find out why Princess Cheng poisoned her and how she did it.
As the commander of the royal guards, Xiang Yun is familiar with the temperament of the noble families in the capital city. Li Huarong's wife is most famous for her jealousy. When she found her body, Li Huarong was dressed like that again. As long as it was confirmed that Li Huarong was responsible for the poison, it would prove that Li Huarong had a hatred for love and would rather kill King Cheng than serve with others.
An hour later, Xiang Yun rushed into the palace.
Emperor Jiahe was lying on the couch with his eyes closed, and he was waiting on him carefully. The brothers of King Kang, Xu Jin and Xu Yao, were standing on the side to perform filial piety.
