Chapter 166 The Suspicion
The queen mother's appearance caught everyone by surprise, except for one person, Wang Chenyang.

Amidst the greetings from everyone, the Empress Dowager came in generously, walked up to the emperor and said, "Emperor, the Ai family thinks there is something wrong with the concubine's miscarriage. It's better to be more cautious, and don't wrong the good man."

The emperor looked at the empress dowager, but said with a firm face: "Mother, there are all the witnesses and evidence, so what else can I say."

But the Empress Dowager still persisted and said: "It's just a one-sided statement of a little maid, you can believe it. As the king of a country, if you listen to one side and believe it so much, you won't be afraid of being laughed at if it spreads."

The emperor is naturally unattractive when people say that in public, he said impatiently: "Queen mother, why do you protect that bitch, act so boldly and murder the emperor's heir, if I didn't kill her nine clans, it was already a favor."

"Emperor, how can you?????" The queen mother wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the emperor.

"Queen mother, you don't need to say too much, you don't have to joke, Wang Chenyang will undoubtedly die today," the emperor said coldly and very decisively.

At this moment, Wang Chenyang stood up, and she said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, my daughter is innocent, and my daughter can prove her innocence."

The emperor looked up at her and said impatiently: "What else do you have to say, it's just the end of your strength."

Wang Chenyang smiled indifferently, and said: "Since it is the end of the crossbow, there will be no storms. The emperor's favor is so great, why don't the emperor give this chance to the courtier's daughter, let the courtier's daughter understand it, so as not to spread it, which will be against the emperor's face."

After such a tactful back and forth, it was hard for the emperor to refuse Wang Chenyang's request. He didn't say much, but said: "Okay, then I will give you this chance to see what you have to say."

Wang Chenyang saluted generously: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing Wang Chenyang's confident expression, some people's hearts suddenly rose. What is she going to do, can she really clear her suspicion, or is she just bluffing?

Wang Chenyang sharpened his knife, and the first person to arrest her was the court lady who framed her. Wang Chenyang walked up to the court lady. Seeing her coming, the little palace maid was inexplicably nervous, she lowered her head and dared not Look at Wang Chenyang.

"You said you saw me push the jade concubine into the water, is what you said true?" Wang Chenyang looked at her and said leisurely.

Cold sweat broke out on the little maid's forehead, but she still nodded her head: "This is what I saw with my own eyes, it's absolutely true."

Wang Chenyang narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a bit of coldness in his eyes, but he still said in a calm tone: "How dare you swear?"

After the little maid raised her head to look at Wang Chenyang, she nodded guiltyly: "I swear, I swear, I saw it all with my own eyes. For example, if there is half a lie, heaven, heaven will strike me with lightning."

The little maid's faltering tone clearly showed hesitation, but under Wang Chenyang's gloomy gaze, she still had to bite the bullet and swear.

Wang Chenyang followed suit and laughed. She looked at the little maid and said with a half-smile: "What are you hesitating for? Could it be that you didn't mean to swear poisonous oaths at all, or you were lying about all of this."

Being questioned by Wang Chenyang, the little maid felt inexplicably guilty, she quickly denied it, and said: "No, this servant did not lie."

Wang Chenyang's smile deepened, and he said: "Since you said no, well, let me ask you, where did you see me, and how did you push the jade concubine into the water?"

After hesitating for a while, the palace maid said solemnly: "The slave girl is standing on the right side of the princess, and the jade concubine is standing on the left. When the fight was going on, the princess stretched out his hand and pushed the jade concubine while no one was paying attention. Empress Concubine's back, Empress Yubin fell into the water."

She said it so carefully that many people really believed that she saw it with her own eyes.

But Wang Chenyang sneered after hearing this, and asked again: "Is what you said true?"

The palace maid seemed to have a guilty conscience, but she could not get off the horse, she still bit the bullet and replied: "Really."

Hearing this answer, Wang Chenyang showed a strange smile, she turned to face the emperor, cupped her hands and said: "Your Majesty, this servant is clearly lying, and my daughter is innocent."

Everyone was stunned. How did he prove his innocence after only saying a few words? The emperor didn't understand, and asked, "What do you mean? How did this slave lie?"

Wang Chenyang glanced at the court lady kneeling at her feet, she was also puzzled, what did she say wrong?

"Your majesty, this servant has indeed lied. She never saw that the court lady pushed the jade concubine into the water. The court lady can prove it to the emperor," Wang Chenyang said confidently.

Seeing her so sure look, the emperor also had doubts in his heart. Could it be that this court lady is really lying?
Wang Chenyang called three court ladies, and the three of them stood side by side, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this servant said this. At that time, the servant was standing in the middle, and the servant was on the right, and the jade concubine was on the left." On the other hand, if the concubine Yu was really pushed into the water by the servant girl, the servant girl should have pushed the queen's arm, which is in line with common sense, but this slave said that the servant girl pushed the queen's back, which caused her to fall into the water, May I ask, in such a chaotic scene at that time, why did the empress turn her back to the servant girl and let the servant girl push her into the water?"

In this way, there is indeed a big flaw, it is obvious that the court lady really lied, and Wang Chenyang is innocent.

Seeing such a big flaw in her words, the palace maid was anxious and sweated on her forehead, but soon she calmed down and said: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, it's my slave who made a mistake. I was nervous for a while and made a mistake. The princess pushed Empress Yubi's arm, which caused her to fall into the water."

Wang Chenyang snorted coldly, and said: "Just now I asked you if what you said was true, but you swore that it was true, so now you say you remember it wrong?"

The palace lady's face was covered with cold sweat, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "It's just a wrong memory. The servant girl is nervous for a while, and the memory will be wrong."

Wang Chenyang gave a meaningful oh, and said, "Are you sure, only this one is wrong?"

The palace lady didn't hear the meaning in her words, but she nodded seriously and said, "Only this one."

Wang Chenyang smiled at the corner of his mouth, suddenly changed his face, and shouted: "Bold slave, you are lying."

The palace lady didn't know where she made a mistake again, and quickly denied it: "No, no, this servant did not lie."

"I still said no," Wang Chenyang frowned, she raised her head and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, everyone was fighting at that time, but this slave was observing whether the courtiers pushed the jade concubine or not. This is not in line with common sense. Forget it, this servant can only see Empress Yubin through the servant girl, how did she see the servant girl pushing Empress Jade Concubine, could it be that she was standing aside, not fighting, just watching?"

After saying this, everyone suddenly realized that this servant's words were full of loopholes, and he was lying at all. Needless to say, Wang Chenyang was innocent.
