“Yes, then please follow this old servant to the side hall, Your Highness.” Nanny Bi Zhu nodded in agreement and walked toward the empress, holding the thirteenth princess’ hand.
The thirteenth princess was already in shock, and now that she was out of her mother’s arms, she was even more frightened. She sobbed, “Mother, I don’t want to go. Don’t make me go…”
The empress’ heart ached so much that it was about to bleed, but she did not dare to stop her this time. She could only watch as Nanny Bi Zhu took the thirteenth princess away.
Soon, the thirteenth princess was brought to another side hall.
Meanwhile, Judge Wu and Gu Qingxue had also received the news, and they came to the side hall together.
Judge Wu had already heard about the entire story on his way here. He ran into Gu Qingxue outside the side hall and hastened his steps to catch up. “Just what kind of Gu Poison has His Roal Highness been infected with? Are you alright?”
“If I’m not mistaken, it should be the Gu Poison from the Southern Border. The strength of the user is very strong, and I haven’t been able to develop an antidote. For such an expert to be able to sneak into the palace and poison the banquet, the murderer must be lurking around us. 1 think that this time, we must capture him. Otherwise, if he hurts His Majesty, the concubines, and the princes in the future, there will be a big problem,” Gu Qingxue said with a cold expression.
Judge Wu also nodded with a serious expression, but the thirteenth Princess is only a child. It’s not easy to get the truth from her.
A child’s logical thinking was limited, and the thirteenth princess had been so frightened that it was difficult to perfectly describe the whole incident.
“Since things have come to this, 1 can only try. Don’t worry, I’ll ask the thirteenth princess when the time comes, and the judge will just watch from the side.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she and Judge Wu stood in front of the palace’s gate. They raised their hands and knocked on the tightly shut door.
With a creak, Nanny Bi Zhu opened the door to the side hall. Looking at the two, she said, “Milords have worked hard. This old servant will watch from the side. If milords have anything you want to ask thepPrincess, please feel free to ask.”
In the room, the thirteenth princess sat on a chair and watched Gu Qingxue and Judge Wu walk over with great strides. She lifted her chin and ordered arrogantly, “I’m telling you, this princess has been wrongly accused. You have to find a way to prove my innocence. Otherwise, I’ll ask my mother to help me throw you all into jail.”
Judge Wu looked at the thirteenth princess’s arrogant expression and frowned subconsciously. He had never liked children who did as they pleased. The thirteenth princess was famous for being unruly and willful, both inside and outside the palace. Just looking at the thirteenth princess’s appearance caused a deep sense of resistance to rise in his eyes.
Gu Qingxue looked at the thirteenth princess unhurriedly and said with a smile, “The princess must be joking. If the empress could really help the princess, then the princess would not need to cooperate with us to explain the truth. No one dares to disobey His Majesty’s orders, even the empress has to obey. Princess, it’s better to explain as soon as possible to avoid His Majesty’s impatience.”
The thirteenth princess thought of her father’s cold expression and immediately lowered her head in grievance. “l didn’t do anything. I just want Han’er to like me, I’m not in the wrong! It’s all your fault. It’s all because of you that Lil t Han doesn’t like me anymore, but likes Gu Lingbao instead….”
