The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

The Minister of Dali Temple looked at Nie Yuan and Wang Lu for a while and said: "Since the bark has already been tested, and it has been made into dishes and served on the table, and the Crown Princess of Chu was poisoned, then I must go and investigate now." , and nothing can be found. So——"

After the Minister of Dali Temple finished speaking, he deliberately paused and then continued: "The only way is to extract a confession by torture."

Nie Yuan and Wang Lu immediately shouted that they were wronged.

The minister of Dali Temple was indifferent and ordered people to carry the instruments of torture to the scene of the reception banquet, and the execution was carried out on the spot in front of the emperor and many guests.

Ye Yuxiao watched with cold eyes and asked Ouyang Sheng in a low voice: "Do you think the murderer is in the imperial kitchen or in Honglu Temple?"

Ouyang Sheng smiled slightly: "No matter how I feel, at least the Minister of Dali Temple feels that the problem lies with Nie Yuan and Wang Lu."

It makes sense. The minister of Dali Temple spared the people in the imperial dining room, but wanted to torture Nie Yuan and Wang Lu. It was obvious that he was a little suspicious of them.

Ye Yuxiao asked again: "If the murderer is indeed Nie Yuan or Wang Lu, will they use this torture?"

"Definitely." Ouyang Sheng said without hesitation, "They are just ordinary people. How can they stand the torture of Dali Temple? I guess it won't take a cup of tea before they start talking."

Ouyang Sheng's guess was quite accurate. The Minister of Dali Temple waved his hand and dropped a few boards. Nie Yuan and Wang Lu began to cry and scream. Nie Yuan even screamed: "Stop fighting, stop fighting, I Recruit, I’ll do it!”

Ms. Liu, who was sitting in the corner, was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat when she heard Nie Yuan's words.

He's only been hit a few times now, and he's planning to give it all up? The emperor was watching them personally at the moment. If Nie Yuan confessed them, the entire Duke of Wei would suffer.

Mrs. Tao's face turned pale with anxiety and she was at a loss for words: "Mom, Nie Yuan has taken medicine, what should we do?"

Ms. Liu said angrily: "That's your distant cousin. How do I know what to do? Look at your distant cousin, who promised not to turn us out at the beginning. What happened?"

Mrs. Tao felt aggrieved. Mrs. Liu insisted on asking her distant cousin for help. Now that something happened, she was blamed? She had agreed with her from the beginning.

The Minister of Dali Temple ordered people to stop the execution, and then asked people to drag Nie Yuan over, whose lower body was already stained with blood: "Did you just say that you wanted to kill him?"

Nie Yuan nodded heavily and said: "I admit that I mixed the poison in the bark, but I was forced to do this. Princess Anxiang of the Far South Kingdom asked me to do this."

"Princess Anxiang?" Dali Temple Qing was extremely surprised.

Princess Anxiang was just watching the show, but she didn't expect that the fire would actually burn her. She couldn't help but be very angry: "I don't recognize you at all, nor do I recognize the Crown Princess of Chu. How could I instigate you?" Poison?"

The Minister of Dali Temple felt that what Princess Anxiang said was more reasonable, so he scolded Nie Yuan and said, "You framed her indiscriminately. It seems that the punishment is too light."

"My lord, I am wronged. Everything I said is true and I absolutely did not lie!" Nie Yuan shouted, "The reason why Princess Anxiang instigated me to do this is to frame Princess Yingchuan!"

"What?" Dali Temple Qing was stunned, "Why did Princess Anxiang frame her for Princess Yingchuan?"

Nie Yuandao: "Sir, I don't know the specific reason. I just vaguely heard that Princess Anxiang had an affair with Princess Yingchuan as soon as she arrived in Daxi."

The Qing of Dali Temple also heard about the feud between Princess Anxiang and Ye Yuxiao. He couldn't help but look at Princess Anxiang a few more times. Could it be that this poison was really caused by Princess Anxiang?

While the Dali Temple Minister was pondering and hesitating, Mrs. Liu in the opposite corner quietly gave Nie Yuan a thumbs up.

Nie Yuan's move was really amazing. Not only did he not confess them, but he also poured dirty water on Princess Anxiang. It's just that Princess Anxiang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she will never recognize it.

Sure enough, Princess Anxiang exploded immediately: "If I want to take revenge on Princess Yingchuan, I have plenty of ways to do it, so why make it so complicated?"

Nie Yuan said: "The bark on your dining table is the same bark as the one eaten by the Crown Princess of Chu. Now she is poisoned, but you are not. This fully proves that the poison was caused by you."

Princess Anxiang said angrily: "I don't know whether the bark on my princess's dining table is poisonous or not. I haven't eaten it at all."

Nie Yuan didn't say anything. He was brought here now. He didn't know that Princess Anxiang didn't eat the bark.

But soon someone said: "Princess Anxiang obviously ate the bark."

"Yes, she ate the bark, and I saw it too." The guests agreed.

Princess Anxiang said nothing, and took out a crumpled handkerchief from her sleeve pocket, then opened it and showed it to everyone.

What was wrapped in the handkerchief was actually two pieces of tree bark.

Princess Anxiang said: "I don't like to eat bark, but I have to pretend, so after picking up the bark, I wrapped it in my handkerchief."

It turns out that she wasn't poisoned, because she didn't eat the bark? The guests were a little surprised.

Nie Yuan said: "Princess, you know that the bark of the tree in front of you is poisonous, so of course you won't eat it."

Alas, this logic is correct again. Dali Temple Qing looked at Princess Anxiang with a thought-provoking expression.

Princess Anxiang was furious: "It must be Princess Yingchuan who did it now. Princess Yingchuan is really good. She actually poisoned my princess's food and wanted to kill her."

Mrs. Liu almost laughed out loud when she heard this. Nie Yuan was such a clever guy that he actually followed the original plan and set fire to Ye Yuxiao. What a talent.

Before Ye Yuxiao responded to this matter, the Crown Prince of Chu said: "The poison cannot be caused by Princess Yingchuan."

Princess Anxiang was not happy now: "The Crown Prince of Chu defends Princess Yingchuan like this? How do you know the poison was not caused by her?"

The Crown Prince of Chu said: "Princess Yingchuan has always been on good terms with the Prince of Chu's Mansion. He has no motive to poison the Crown Prince."

Princess Anxiang curled her lips and said, "Her purpose is to frame this princess."

The Prince of Chu still didn't believe it and said to the minister of Dali Temple: "Let's continue the torture. Beat him a few more times and you will tell the truth."

The sufferer himself did not believe that Ye Yuxiao was the murderer. Naturally, the Dali Temple Minister would not cause trouble and immediately asked people to continue beating Nie Yuan.

Princess Anxiang snorted coldly and said, "Is the Lord of Dali Temple going to surrender?"

It doesn't matter whether he fights or not. The Minister of Dali Temple is in a very difficult position.

At this time, the emperor said: "First put Nie Yuan in the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison and give him three days. If he still refuses to tell the truth within three days, then the whole family will be executed."

The minister of Dali Temple responded and ordered people to take Nie Yuan away.

The emperor looked at Princess Anxiang and said very sorry: "I helped the princess today, but it ended up like this. I'm really sorry."
