"Ah, someone is coming, someone is coming." The voice inside became louder and louder, revealing an unconcealable panic and fear.
It's like trying to lift the lid of a person's heavenly spirit.
He immediately opened the door and saw Princess Lin's personal maid lying on her back on the ground, looking forward with her eyes.
When they walked over, they found Princess Lin and another personal maid lying on the ground covered in blood.
There was a red scar on his neck.
Their throats were slit.
Mr. He couldn't bear the thought of her daughter being killed and almost fainted from fear on the spot.
The female family members who followed in took a breath of air.
A maid from Zhongshu Ling's Mansion suddenly pointed to an opened door and shouted, "The inner door connecting the guest room has been opened."
Everyone looked over and saw an open door, with sporadic blood stains on the ground.
Moreover, Princess Lin's eyes were looking in that direction.
It seemed that Princess Che was changing clothes next door just now.
When Wen Jinhe saw everyone looking at him, he felt a sense of stagnation before an earthquake broke out.
"Look, there seems to be blood on Princess Che's skirt." Someone shouted in shock.
Man Qiu and Man Dong immediately looked at Wen Jinhe's skirt and found that there was indeed a little blood stain on the skirt near the lining.
They didn't notice it when they were changing their clothes.
He had a look of remorse on his face, the skin on his face was taut, and he ran and fell towards Wen Jinhe. At the same time, he cried, "Princess Che, even if you and my daughter have any deep hatred, there is no need to kill someone to vent your anger."
"What's more, it's just a few words. Your heart is so narrow and can't tolerate my daughter."
Man Qiu and Man Dong immediately stood in front of Wen Jinhe.
He fell to the ground and burst into tears.
The pain of losing a daughter makes those who hear it sad and those who see it shed tears.
The female relatives present pointed at Wen Jinhe. Who would have thought that such a thing as the princess killing the princess would happen in front of them.
Wen Jinhe said with a cold face, "I did not kill Princess Lin. I have never entered that room from beginning to end."
"Madam, I found this dagger in the room where Princess Che was changing clothes. It was hidden under the bed." The maid hurriedly ran out of the room holding the dagger in her handkerchief.
There is blood stains and a dagger. This is called conclusive evidence.
Immediately, some female relatives said that they wanted to report to the officials and take Wen Jinhe to prison for interrogation and conviction.
Female family member 1: "On the surface, she puts on the airs of Princess Che, but in fact she has a heart more poisonous than anyone else."
The second female family member: "Who says it's not the case? He actually killed Princess Lin in front of so many people. Jian Shu was so bold."
First there were one or two people talking, and eventually it became more than a dozen people.
Wen Jinhe looked at the dress she was wearing, and then looked at He who was still on the ground crying in grief.
How could you not understand.
From beginning to end, this is a trap that has been dug long ago, waiting for you to jump into.
But what she never expected was that they would actually factor in Princess Lin's fate.
"The dress was prepared by He, and the two adjacent rooms were also arranged by He. Now that Princess Lin has been killed, you should track down the real culprit instead of doubting me."
He's eyes were filled with tears and her lips were trembling, "When you were changing clothes, the entire courtyard was surrounded by female relatives who came to enjoy the flowers. How could an outsider sneak in in front of so many people? Could it be that Princess Che wants to frame me? I framed you and prepared blood-stained clothes just to kill your own daughter?"
"Madam, Prince Lin is here." The servant came running over.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhilin appeared in front of everyone, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
He instead knelt on the ground, "Prince Lin, Princess Lin was just killed by Princess Che."
Wen Jinhe couldn't express her pain because no one would believe that a mother would design to kill her daughter.
Maybe Li Zhilin also knew about this matter, otherwise how could he happen to come to Zhongshu Ling's Mansion.
If they were to say that they had a good relationship and came here to pick someone up, only a ghost would believe it.
Li Zhilin ran into the room and saw Princess Lin lying on the ground with no breath. She came out with a gloomy face and questioned everyone.
Someone came forward to explain: "Princess Lin and Princess Che had an argument in the garden and both fell into the water. After Princess Che changed her clothes and came out, screams came from Princess Lin's room. When we broke in, Princess Lin had already Already dead."
"The murder weapon was found in the room where Princess Che changed clothes, and there were blood stains on Princess Che's new clothes. No one else entered the room."
Man Qiu supported Wen Jinhe, and Man Dong stood in front, both of them very anxious.
They made preparations when they came out, but they didn't expect it to develop like this.
The death of Princess Yilin brought Wen Jinhe into the situation, and the price was too high.
"Princess Che, you killed my princess, and I want you to pay with your life." Li Zhilin walked up to Wen Jinhe with a vicious threat on his face.
Wen Jinhe looked directly at Li Zhilin, "I said, I didn't kill her, this matter has nothing to do with me."
During the confrontation between the two sides, people from the Criminal Department rushed to the scene.
As soon as he heard that a relative of the emperor was involved and it was Princess Lin who died, the Minister of Punishment personally came over with his people.
Song Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wen Jinhe standing there safe and sound.
Looking at everyone present, including Li Zhilin, they looked tense but did not dare to take it lightly.
After inspecting the scene, the bodies of Princess Lin and the maid were carried to the Criminal Department.
Since the case involved the concubines of two princes, the Minister of Punishment could only report it to the emperor.
Li Jingxing, who was enjoying himself in the palace of concubines, was called to the royal study room and was shocked to hear that Princess Lin had been killed and that the murderer was Princess Che.
After hearing the news, Zhongshu Ling rushed to the Imperial Study Room and demanded severe punishment for Wen Jinhe in front of the Minister of Punishment.
The emperor frowned and looked at the Minister of Punishment with a cold eyebrow, "Is the evidence of Princess Che's crime of murder conclusive?"
The Minister of Criminal Affairs seemed to be hesitant, "There are all the witnesses and material evidence, but Princess Che did not plead guilty and claimed that she was wrongly accused."
The emperor said gruffly: "The Ministry of Punishment and the Menxia Province are trying this case together. I want ironclad evidence."
The Minister of Punishment immediately fell to his knees and said, "I obey the order."
Zhongshu Ling had pain on his face.
The Minister of Punishment immediately called the provincial governor, Mr. Shizhong, to hold a hearing together.
Man Qiu and Man Dong have been taken to prison and tortured by the Ministry of Punishment.
Facing the interrogation by the Minister of Punishment, Wen Jinhe stood in the lobby and said loudly: "All the witnesses and material evidence are there? Don't you think there is something wrong with what you said?"
The Minister of Justice's eyes were sharp, "What's the problem?"
"Can anyone prove that I hid the dagger?"
"Who can prove that the blood on the skirt is Princess Lin's blood?"
"Among the witnesses present, who saw with his own eyes that this princess slit the throats of Princess Lin and her maid?"
"This case seems to have both human and material evidence, but in fact it cannot be proven at all."
Wen Jinhe spoke with righteous words.
"My lord, you took my princess's maid to the prison and tortured her before you figured out the truth of the matter. Do you want to subdue her?"
The Minister of Punishment said calmly: "The two of them are good at martial arts. I have reason to believe that they were the ones who did it. I am trying the case in accordance with the laws of the imperial court."
The attendant sitting aside asked: "Is it inappropriate for Princess Che to bring two maids who are good at martial arts to attend the flower viewing banquet?"
Wen Jinhe: "My husband loves me very much. On the first day of the wedding, Man Qiu and Man Dong were assigned to take care of me personally. This has been the case for several months."
The maid who discovered the body looked at the high hall and said: "During the full moon banquet of Prince Heng's Mansion and the Queen's birthday banquet, Princess Che and Princess Lin had conflicts many times. Today, they fought again in the garden. I'm afraid it was. The grudges are deep.”
Wen Jinhe mocked: "It was clearly Princess Lin who rushed up to attack me today. She even dragged me with her when she fell into the pond. If a few words were exchanged, it would lead to murder. Then wouldn't the streets be filled with murderers?" "
Minister of Justice: "What happened when the door between the two rooms was opened?"
Wen Jinhe: "How do I know? Don't the people in the palace know the layout of Zhongshu Ling's mansion best? She knew that we had a conflict and arranged to change clothes in separate rooms. Madam, I don't know what she had in mind?"
He immediately cried, "Sir, Princess Lin is my daughter, can I still kill her?"
Wen Jinhe sarcastically said, "If you have the intention, killing a girl is nothing. Sir, Mrs. Zhongshu Ling provided the clothes, the room was arranged by Mrs. Zhongshu Ling, and the post about the flower viewing banquet was sent to my door by Mrs. Zhongshu Ling. All of this , this princess is the one who was arranged.
"Now that the man is dead, the crime will be pinned on me. Where is the irrefutable evidence?"
Seeing Wen Jinhe press forward step by step, the Minister of Punishment frowned and scolded, "But the dressing yard is surrounded by female relatives attending the flower-viewing banquet. No one is present except you three masters and servants."
Wen Jinhe turned to look at the maid kneeling on the ground, "Isn't there still her? The first witness to discover the body."
