Chapter 175 The evidence is conclusive
Jing Wu frowned and pulled the court doctor over.
The court doctor was not good at treating sword and knife wounds. Seeing Yuezhi's appearance, he immediately said, "Her blood and qi are rushing up. I'm afraid the wound has broken open again. I'm afraid..."
I'm afraid it can't be saved!
The wound on Yuezhi's neck was not actually that deep, which is why she was rescued at the critical moment.
But she didn't care about her life. She lost her mind when she mentioned the broken porcelain. The wound was out of control and broke a second time. No matter how good the panacea was, it couldn't save her.
As she was cursing, Yuezhi's body suddenly twitched, and the veins on her hands that were clutching the quilt bulged.
After twitching for two seconds, his body suddenly fell on the bed.
His wide eyes were filled with resentment towards the broken porcelain.
The Zhao family doctor hurriedly checked her breathing and said after a moment, "My Lord and Concubine, this girl has died from a heart attack caused by anger."
Until the last moment of her death, Yuezhi was still swearing and cursing at the broken porcelain.
Until her death, she only resented Suici, but never blamed her brother Wu at all.
King Jing was not surprised by Yuezhi's performance.
When he was young, he saw countless concubines and palace maids in the emperor's harem who were as beautiful as moon branches.
There are things crazier than this before death.
They curse this and hate that, but they dare not hate the person in the highest position.
King Jing was afraid that Xie Run would be frightened, so he just said calmly, "Deal with the body."
So he took Xie Run away.
Xie Run's mind was filled with the scene before Yuezhi's death, and she felt a heaviness in her chest.
After walking for a while, she suddenly grabbed King Jing's clothes and said, "Your Majesty, this is not right!"
When King Jing saw Xie Run’s pale face, he knew that she must have been frightened.
He softened his voice: "What's wrong?"
Xie Run said coldly: "The reasons Yuezhi gave are not enough to explain Ping An's motives!"
Because his son was sick and made King Jing disgusted, he wanted to give him medicine to make other children in the yard sick?
If Concubine An had this kind of mentality, she would not have been so nervous at the beginning and would not have been frightened many times during her pregnancy, which led to premature birth of the child.
A person's behavior style is inevitably closely related to her personality.
Yuezhi's death today was so tragic and brutal that Xie Run began to suspect someone.
Wan Linlang!
In the whole backyard, only she is so good at manipulating people's hearts and killing them silently without leaving any trace!
But where did Wan Linlang get the two thousand taels of silver?
Even Concubine An could not produce it!
King Jing patted her hand and said, "I know what you mean."
"But Ping An still needs to be tried."
Whether someone is guilty or not is not determined by words, but by evidence.
Xie Run smiled bitterly.
If it was really Wan Linlang who did it, the case would ultimately fall on Concubine An.
Xie Run wanted to seek justice for his son, but he was afraid that the murderer would not be found and that innocent people would be implicated in the end.
Now she can no longer control the direction of things...
What went wrong? !
While Xie Run was racking his brains, Jing Wu had already brought people to collect the silver notes and deeds that Yuezhi mentioned.
The deed clearly stated the collusion between Yuezhi and Ping'an, and also left their fingerprints.
Ping'an was also brought over and looked at King Jing and Xie Run with a confused look on his face.
The guard held her hand and compared her fingerprints with the deed, and they soon matched.
"Your Majesty, the fingerprints are correct!"
Seeing Ping'an's panicked expression, Xie Run moved his throat and asked softly, "Ping'an, did you leave the house half a month ago?"
Ping An was terrified and answered cautiously, "Thank you, Concubine. I took a leave of absence half a month ago and went back home."
She was a servant girl in the mansion, and her whole family served in Prince Jing's mansion. Naturally, she had to go home during her vacation.
Not to mention her, most families in the mansion give birth to children in this way.
"Seven days ago."
Ping An's lips trembled, "I went back once too."
No matter how stupid she was, she knew that she was in a bad situation.
When Xie Run heard her reply, his heart sank, knowing that Ping An could not escape this crime.
The other party's preparations were so detailed!
Ping An felt the atmosphere was particularly solemn and said with a panic in his heart, "I wonder what the prince wants me to do?"
"I have been staying in the courtyard these days to take care of the Fourth Young Master, and I don't know what happened."
Eunuch Shi'an stepped forward and said, "Today, we discovered that Yuezhi from Chunshan Court added tapioca starch to the Fifth Young Master's water. Before she died, Yuezhi said that you ordered her to do it."
"Yuezhi also said that she met you in Yunjiao Alley half a month ago and seven days ago, respectively. She has the two thousand taels of silver note you gave her and the contract you signed as proof."
"After inspection, the fingerprints on the deed match yours."
"Ping An, what do you want to say?"
Ping'an's mind went blank for a moment, and he was completely dazed.
"What are you talking about? Master, I don't understand a word you said."
Ping'an's heart was beating wildly.
No matter how foolish she was, she knew she was in big trouble!
I'm afraid someone has framed me.
But she knew nothing about it and was completely kept in the dark.
"I have indeed been home twice and passed through Yunjiao Alley when buying food for my family, but I have never seen any Yuezhi!"
"I don't even know her. I don't know what she looks like!"
The more I talk about peace, the more terrified I become.
The person who secretly harmed her must have quietly figured out her whereabouts long ago, so that he could frame her so accurately!
"Someone must be trying to frame me!"
"I have many brothers and sisters at home, and my parents can't take care of them all. Whenever I'm on vacation, I always go home to help. I always get up early and go to Liu's Baozi Shop to buy buns. After leaving Liu's Baozi Shop, I pass through Yunjiao Lane..."
Ping An is always calm, but now he is so scared that he is shaking all over!
"Where did this servant get two thousand taels? Not to mention this servant, even the master can't afford so much money!"
"If we had so much silver, our lives would be a thousand times better. Why would we be so desperate to harm others?"
"The prince and Concubine Xie should know how cowardly this servant is. She doesn't even dare to argue, so how could she dare to murder the Fifth Young Master?!"
Eunuch Shi'an said, "Yuezhi said that your master is disliked because of the poor health of the fourth son she gave birth to, so she wants to make the fifth son and the third daughter sick as well, so as not to show her own faults!"
"Nonsense!"
"That's ridiculous!" Ping An's eyes turned red with anger. "How could my slave master have such a stupid idea?!"
"Even if the Fifth Young Master and the Third Young Miss are sick, there are still the Second Young Master, the Third Young Master, and the Second Young Miss. Doesn't the Prince stop being angry with the Master just because the Fifth Young Master and the Third Young Miss are in trouble?!"
"Even a three-year-old child can understand this, how could my slave master not understand it?!"
Eunuch Shi'an: "But the evidence is irrefutable. How do you want to explain it?"
Ping An panicked, "This servant... This servant really didn't harm anyone!"
"I have never seen any moon branch..."
But this explanation is too pale and powerless.
Not everyone is like Fang Yuaner, who is so arrogant even though the evidence is solid.
Ping'an suddenly thought of something and shouted, "I want to see Yuezhi. I want to confront her face to face!"
Eunuch Shi'an looked at Ping'an with a hint of pity in his eyes, "Yuezhi's wound just burst, and she was so angry that she died..."
Ping An felt as if a mountain collapsed in her mind, dyeing the sky above her head dark.
Now, she can’t wash herself clean even if she jumps into the Yellow River!
