Chapter 499 Muddy the Water
Bei Jingchu understood something and taunted, "Does Zhang Jieyu want to catch the murderer behind Yu'er's assassination, or is she just eager to throw dirty water on me?"
Bei Jingchu didn't give her any face and directly pointed out her little thoughts.
Zhang Jieyu choked.
A pair of eyes stared at her in disbelief, as if condemning her for saying such overly hurtful words.
Before she could make any more excuses, the emperor spoke up: "Come on, shut up. Yu'er hasn't woken up yet. Why are you making so much noise? Don't disturb your son's peace."
The imperial physician had just told us that we need to be quiet while healing our wounds, but he only told us this once and never repeated it again.
He couldn't afford to offend those who were quarreling.
Although Bei Jingchu's clever arguments did not clear him of suspicion, it made it impossible to convict him directly based on that little evidence.
She really thought she was here to visit her brother, and she gave him some supplements and showed him some concern before leaving.
He was very relaxed throughout the whole process and didn't show any guilt at all.
In fact, she was nervous. If the emperor really wanted to depose her, this would be a ready-made excuse.
Whether it is a frame-up or not, evidence is actually the least important thing.
I didn't feel relieved until I got out safely.
The emperor had no intention of pursuing the matter on the spot.
Bei Jingchu felt a little hope.
Perhaps, the emperor just wanted to warn her by promoting the King of Qin, and he didn't really want to depose her?
It just so happens that this period of waste has performed well.
That would be great...
She can also prepare more time, which will increase her chances of winning.
Changyan and others who were waiting outside the house saw her come out and immediately went to greet her.
Chang Yan said worriedly, "I just heard that His Majesty urgently summoned me. I was almost worried to death."
Bei Jingchu smiled, "I feel much more relieved when I hear His Majesty summon me."
Facing Changyan's puzzled look, she explained: "What I'm afraid of is not the urgent summoning, but the non-summoning."
"Unless you go up and just stand there and say that you have no way to defend yourself, as long as you meet the emperor, you will have a chance to refute it. Even if he is dead, I can say that he is alive."
But after dealing with this for a while, she was tired.
When we drove back to Wuyuan, Haoyue was already waiting in the study.
She asked, "Your Highness, do you want me to go find the real murderer?"
Bei Jingchu leaned back in his chair and shook his head, saying, "That won't do. It's not worth it to bring all the people we have developed in the dark to the surface just to prove our innocence."
In fact, she is the same as Zhang Jieyu, neither of them cares much about who the real murderer is.
One wanted to extricate himself from the matter, and the other wanted to use it to bring her down.
Thinking of Yu'er who was still unconscious, Bei Jingchu sighed softly.
How pitiful! Don’t they even have someone who loves them wholeheartedly?
But she was the eldest sister and not as close to him as his biological mother. She thought that as a mother, she should love her only son as her lifeblood.
She was thinking wrongly. Who said that a mother must love her children wholeheartedly above all else?
Even with someone like Qi, Concubine Zhang can be considered soft-hearted.
This sympathy did not last long. She was now too busy to take care of herself and continued to instruct Haoyue, "Collecting evidence is the job of the Dali Temple, not our job. The easiest way is to muddy the waters."
"From the surface, I have the biggest conflict with the King of Qin, and I am the one who benefits from his death. We will push out one, two, or many more vested beneficiaries. Let everyone's attention no longer be focused on me."
The bright moon should be.
Not long after, many rumors spread in the capital, saying who was the murderer of the assassination of the King of Qin, and each rumor was vivid and well-founded.
