" Your Highness."
When Jiang Meng, Xu Miaojin, and Fang Xiaoru saw Zhu Biao, they immediately bowed.
Zhu Xu looked at Zhu Biao silently.
The matter was still unclear. Zhu Xu didn't know if the witchcraft incident really had nothing to do with Zhu Biao. Naturally, he wouldn't treat Zhu Biao as the kind Crown Prince like before.
"Your Highness!"
When Lady Lu saw Zhu Biao, her eyes lit up and she immediately went up to him.
She thought that no matter how much Zhu Biao cared about their brotherhood, he would not let Zhu Xu find out her crimes.
Zhu Biao should still protect her family the most!
Zhu Biao looked at Lady Lu and panted for a while. His expression darkened slightly as he said to his left and right,"Eastern Palace Guards, all of you, stand down!"
The imperial guards immediately retreated.
"Your Highness, the Fifteenth Prince has come to the Eastern Palace today to question the Crown Princess Consort and to search the Eastern Palace. The Crown Princess Consort has only sent out the imperial guards to protect the prestige of the Eastern Palace!”
Fang Xiaoru stood up and said.
Zhu Biao looked at Fang Xiaoru and said to Zhu Xu,""Fifteenth brother, you want to search the Eastern Palace?”
"There is something in a well in the Eastern Palace. I was planning to send someone to fish it out, but the Crown Princess Consort doesn't seem to be willing.”
"Brother Fifteen, go ahead and fish!"
Zhu Biao nodded vigorously and immediately said,"If there is anything suspicious in Gu Dong Palace, you can investigate it!"!”
Hearing this, Lady Lu's expression changed drastically.
"Your Highness, this is very inappropriate!" Fang Xiaoru hurriedly said.”
"What's wrong with that? Solitary Widow has to sit upright, and since Fifteenth Brother wants to investigate, then do as you please!”
"As for my prestige, if I don't even have the courage to let Fifteenth Brother search and do everything in a secretive manner, then it will really attract criticism!!”
Zhu Biao waved his hand and said.
Fang Xiaoru was speechless.
"Your Highness, you can't!"
Madam Lu grabbed Zhu Biao's hand and said,"That well must not be fished out!"
Zhu Biao pulled out his hand and said," He looked at Lady Lu angrily and then said to Zhu Xu,"Fifteenth brother, go ahead and get it! There was Gu here! Let's see who dares to stop you!"
“....。”
The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth curled up slightly. He cupped his hands at Zhu Biao and said,""Brother Crown Prince, if I find out that this matter has nothing to do with you, I will definitely report it to Imperial Father. I believe that Imperial Father will only punish the guilty and will not make things difficult for Brother Crown Prince.”
"Yes."
Zhu Biao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhu Xu's reaction.
When he thought of the confrontation between Zhu Xu and the Eastern Palace guards, he still felt a lingering fear.
After interacting with Zhu Xu for the past few days, Zhu Biao felt that Zhu Xu was even more unfathomable.
Zhu Biao was more and more certain that Zhu Xu's strength was as strong as he had imagined.
If Zhu Xu really made a move…
I'm afraid none of the Eastern Palace guards will survive!
Fortunately, he came back in time!
"Jiang Feng, go get it!"
"Yes!"
Concubine Lu's body swayed in despair, and she needed the help of others to stand firm.
Zhu Biao didn't even look at Lady Lu.
Soon, Jiang Meng returned.
"Your Highness, we fished out a female corpse from that well! After identification! This female corpse was the palace maid who taught the young miss of the Duke of Wei etiquette!”
Hearing this, Zhu Biao, who already knew the whole story, turned pale. He looked at Lady Lu with slightly red eyes, and the veins on his forehead popped out.
Zhu Xu snorted and said,""Bring this corpse up! Then, gather all the palace maids and eunuchs in the Eastern Palace in the courtyard!”
The Imperial Guards were obviously loyal to the Crown Prince.
Zhu Xu knew that Zhu Biao might not know about this.
Therefore, only eunuchs and palace maids could kill palace maids.
"Yes!"
"Your Highness, even if we found a corpse, it doesn't mean anything. This palace maid was originally from the Eastern Palace. Perhaps she just came back to get something and accidentally fell into the well.”
Fang Xiaoru frowned.
"How do you explain those moving dolls?!”
Jiang Meng angrily rebuked.
This pedantic scholar was obviously avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial.
“... That was just a trick, it could not be used as evidence!”
Fang Xiaoru gritted his teeth and said.
"You!"
Jiang Meng glared at Fang Xiaoru while Zhu Xu snorted coldly.
Fang Xiaoru had no say in whether it could be used as evidence!
Zhu Xu could not be bothered with Fang Xiaoru, he turned around and walked into the courtyard.
The corpse was soon brought to him.
"Miao Jin, is this the person?"
Zhu Xu asked.
"Yes."
Xu Miaojin stood behind Zhu Xu in fear. She secretly sized him up and nodded.
Zhu Xu stared at the stiff corpse on the ground and suddenly said,""The soul of a person who is forced to death will not return to the underworld for the time being. I will give you a chance now to point out the person who killed you.”
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes.
The female corpse slowly raised her hand and pointed at the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground.
"Ah, it wasn't me. It was the Crown Princess who instructed me to do it! Don't look for me, don't look for me!"
A eunuch immediately broke through his defense and said in panic.
He was pointed out by a corpse.
This was even more terrifying than angering the Crown Princess Consort and getting revenge from Madam Lu!
Hearing this, Madam Lu and Fang Xiaoru's expressions changed drastically.
At this moment, everything was clear.
The Crown Princess killed a palace maid, and this palace maid was a palace maid who taught Xu Miaojin etiquette. Xu Miaojin found a cloth bag, and the doll in the cloth bag pointed to the palace maid's corpse.
There was irrefutable evidence!
Zhu Biao couldn't hold back his anger anymore and slapped Lady Lu.
"Pa!"
Madam Lu was knocked to the ground and could not stop sobbing.
Zhu Xu looked at Lady Lu and said indifferently,"The crown prince consort framed the prince with witchcraft. Her crime is heinous. Capture her and send her to the Imperial Clan Court.”
"Ah! What are you doing? Your Highness, I know I was wrong! I am guilty, Your Highness! Please spare this concubine's life, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Yun Wen cannot live without a mother!!”
Lady Lu was dragged out of the Eastern Palace by the Brocade Guard, but she kept struggling and shouting.
Seeing this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel bad.
Madam Lu had followed him for more than 20 years and even gave birth to a son for him. Before Zhu Xu was put in an important position, she had always been very obedient and virtuous.
Zhu Biao had feelings for her too.
“.. Fifteenth brother, how do you plan to deal with this matter?”
"Brother Crown Prince, interrogate them first and find all the culprits. Then, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, this crime should be executed by nine generations. However, the Crown Princess has a special status, so I will only execute her and her family. As for the others, we will deal with them according to the law.”
Zhu Xu said.
If he wanted to completely end the karma, it was naturally not enough to just kill Lu shi.
If he wanted to have a clear mind, he had to do things to the extreme!
Moreover, this was the Lu family's own fault!
"Brother Fifteen, can you not sentence her so severely? After all, she is your sister-in-law. This is also because I was not strict with her discipline and indulged her too much in the past.”
"When the crown prince consort framed me, did you think that she was my sister-in-law? And how old was the Lu family? Do you still need others to discipline you?"
Zhu Xu asked.
Zhu Biao was speechless.
After a long time, Zhu Biao finally let out a long sigh and stopped pleading.
