C106

On the grand hall, Qin Feng's eyes were filled with stubbornness as she took the object in Qin Chen's hands and started to narrate the entire process.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the prescription in my hand is the one General Qin gave my mother back then. We can take a good look at this prescription, there's an extra pill in it, and it's precisely this medicine that has caused my mother to suffer from long illness. This is their first step in killing my mother."

Qin Feng was already very angry when she spoke, killing intent could be seen in her eyes as she looked at General Qin.

Hearing Qin Feng's words, the emperor frowned. Eunuch Li gave the prescription in Qin Feng's hands to His Majesty and the emperor looked at it for a bit before frowning and saying, "Someone come, call for the palace doctors to examine this prescription." In next to no time, the imperial physician arrived at the main hall to confirm the prescription.

"Reporting to your majesty, this prescription has one more medicine. If one more medicine is added, it'll be a chronic poison." The imperial physician was also very surprised. He stroked his beard as he said this.

As soon as the imperial physician finished speaking, General Qin's expression changed slightly. There was some panic on his face, but he still tried his best to remain calm.

"Qin Feng, are you certain that it was I who killed your mother just because of this pharmacy? Do you have any evidence to prove that I did something to the prescription? " General Qin spoke with an indifferent expression, as if he had truly wronged him.

When the Emperor heard, he said coldly: "Qin Feng, what evidence do you have to prove that this medicinal formula was General Qin's doing?"

The emperor was obviously starting to suspect Qin Feng. He would rather believe that Qin Feng was framing the crime than believe that the General Qin he had trusted for so many years was actually a murderer.

"Of course I have evidence, because I have other people's evidence besides physical evidence!" Qin Feng said with a pleased look on her face, but then Qin Chen walked in and brought in an old man. The old man had a good appearance, but his eyes kept flickering and he looked treacherous.

The Emperor glanced at it, his expression carrying traces of suspicion: "Qin Feng, what do you mean by that?" When he asked that question, the emperor frowned, he was disgusted by Qin Feng ignoring the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Qin Feng was forced to do so. This is the witness that Qin Feng invited." As she spoke till here, Qin Feng's gaze turned towards the old man, who was so scared that his entire body trembled the moment he saw Qin Feng. When Xuanyuan Zhiling saw this situation, he couldn't help but frown. He actually didn't know that Qin Feng had done so many things.

"Now you can say it, who exactly bribed you to prescribe this medicinal formula?" Qin Feng's expression turned gloomy and cold, the old man was so scared that his entire body shivered as she said: "What you said is something that happened many years ago, this old man, I can't even remember it."

Xuanyuan Zhiling caught a glimpse of the old man's shifty eyes, which immediately turned cold. Xuanyuan Zhiling moved closer and said with an angry face: "Did you forget? If you really have forgotten, why did Qin Feng come to find you? You better explain it all to me honestly, otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences. "

Hearing this, the old man was so scared that he immediately kneeled on the ground. His eyes turned crafty as he said, "General Qin bribed me to poison my wife's medicine, and even told me that if my wife didn't die, then he wouldn't be able to take the rich and powerful new wife."

After the old man had finished speaking, the officials and officials in the court all began to discuss among themselves. The entire hall fell into a clamor.

"General Qin, is what the senior doctor said true?" The Emperor's face became slightly unsightly, and his tone had traces of displeasure mixed within.

General Qin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your majesty, is it that the emperor wants to listen to these words and judge this humble subject as the murderer?" Moreover, after so many years of outstanding military exploits for the imperial government, your humble subject has still worked hard even without any meritorious services. " The fact that General Qin had revealed his status within the imperial court made the emperor feel somewhat awkward.

"father, since this old doctor has already admitted to it, why does he want to harm General Qin when he has no grudges with him? In my opinion, the matter has already been decided. father, please handle it wisely. " Xuanyuan Zhiling stood out and supported Qin Feng once at this critical moment. He knew that at this moment, the thing Qin Feng needed the most was herself.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhiling had even said such words, the Emperor asked with a frown, "What do you guys think?" The emperor's gaze shifted to the officials. The officials were all discussing in whispers, but upon hearing this, all of them quietened down.

"Your majesty, from what I see, although the Royal Concubine's evidence doesn't point to General Qin as the culprit, it isn't without fault that such a despicable matter was spread by General Qin as the most important official of the imperial court."

"Your majesty, this humble subject believes that General Qin is suspicious of this matter. After all, there's clearly something wrong with the prescription, but the general knows without speaking. This is clearly a premeditated murder."

"father, I have enough evidence to testify against General Qin. Please adjudicate." Fifth Prince Xuanyuan Yufeng also stood up for Qin Feng.

Qin Feng gratefully glanced at Xuanyuan Yufeng, but Xuanyuan Yufeng only faintly smiled with a hint of gentleness in his expression. When Xuanyuan Zhiling saw this situation, he also smiled faintly towards Xuanyuan Yufeng, but when he saw how gentle Qin Feng was to Xuanyuan Yufeng, he suddenly felt sour in his heart.

A complicated expression flashed across the emperor's face as he said, "Since that's the case, I shall give the order to remove General Qin from his post!" As soon as the emperor's voice fell, General Qin immediately fell to his knees, begging with a trembling voice that carried a sobbing tone, "Your majesty, your majesty, since this old subject has contributed to the imperial court, please spare this old subject this one."

General Qin's words were a disguised admission that he was the murderer. His plea made the entire court boil again. It was precisely because General Qin was usually domineering in the imperial court that he had provoked the vengeance of so many court officials.

"Qin Feng, who else do you want to sue?" She just heard that Qin Feng was going to sue the Imperial Consort Li, he didn't think that the Imperial Consort Li would go as far as this.

Qin Feng smiled faintly, and her expression had a hint of gloominess: "I will also sue Lin Ru, she was the one who killed my mother with the ink stone when she was very sick, this is proof, because there is her bloody handprint on the ink stone, and also my mother's blood."

When Qin Feng said this, the Emperor immediately sent people to find a coroner to compare the seal with Lin Ru's hand. The Emperor summoned Lin Ru to interrogate him thoroughly.

"Lin Ru, you still won't admit that you killed Qin Feng's mother. You really put in a lot of effort to get married and enter the General's Estate!" The Emperor stood up with a furious expression. Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Lin Ru was immediately scared out of her wits. Her legs went weak and she kneeled on the ground, his expression turned ugly, tears brimming from her eyes.

"Your majesty, your majesty, I didn't kill anyone. I really didn't kill anyone." Lin Ru crawled towards the emperor's feet on her knees one step at a time. At this time, she couldn't think of anything else;

Seeing the usually arrogant and despotic Lin Ru actually kneeling on the ground and begging like a stray dog, everyone could not help but sigh. Even Xuanyuan Zhiling, who was usually extremely cold, subconsciously frowned. In Xuanyuan Zhiling's impression, Lin Ru had always been a proud and aloof person, but now, she was acting in such a way.

Xuanyuan Zhiling looked at Qin Feng, but she had a cold smile on his face.

"You've killed someone, and the prince is guilty of the same crime as the commoners, not to mention that you're just a general's wife." The emperor's voice carried a trace of determination as he berated loudly.

When Lin Ru heard the emperor's words, she immediately turned around and went to Qin Feng's feet, kneeling down and begging him one step at a time: "Qin Feng, First Young Miss, Royal Consort, I beg you, please beg the emperor to forgive me." Lin Ru said with tears in her eyes.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have done it this way." Qin Feng spoke indifferently, before shifting her gaze to another direction, not even looking at Lin Ru. Seeing the determination on Qin Feng's face, Lin Ru knew that she really couldn't be saved this time. Therefore, Lin Ru sat on the ground with a face full of despair and dejection, as she smiled bitterly.

The emperor's face darkened as he said in a loud and clear voice, "Men, escort Lin Ru into the Sky Prison for me!" With a command from the emperor, the garrison troops that were standing outside the great hall entered the great hall and escorted Lin Ru inside. Lin Ru pleaded loudly with tears all over his face, but His Majesty did not say a single word.

Lin Ru had already been escorted into the Sky Prison, and at this time, the Imperial Consort Li had long since arrived outside the great hall after hearing the news. She wanted to plead on behalf of her elder sister, but she didn't know that she had already lost the ability to protect herself.

"Your majesty, your majesty, chenqie heard that you've sent your elder sister to prison. Your majesty, how can you do this?" Imperial Consort Li's tone carried a hint of a spoiled child, but the emperor had a gloomy and cold expression.

Imperial Consort Li noticed that the emperor's expression wasn't good. She pursed her lips in grievance and said, "Your majesty, why are you ignoring chenqie?" When she said that, Imperial Consort Li was even shyly shaking her waist.

The emperor's face darkened as he berated coldly, "This is the imperial court, are you trying to be impudent here?!"

"Your Majesty …" Imperial Consort Li saw the emperor's gloomy face and seemed to have noticed that something was wrong. She had only heard that her elder sister was being held tightly in the Sky Prison.

The emperor coldly smiled and picked up the jade hairpin from the tray just now. His expression was filled with despair as he asked, "Do you still remember this hairpin?" "I do remember that when you first entered the palace, you used to have this jade hairpin on your head. But one day, it suddenly disappeared …"

After Imperial Consort Li heard this, she knew that the situation was not good. She kneeled on the ground and begged for forgiveness, but it was already too late.

"On account of the fact that you've served me for so long, I'll spare your life and send you into the cold palace for your entire life!" The Emperor ordered coldly.
