As the emperor, he had already stood at the highest position, but when facing Mrs. Wang, he still couldn't help feeling guilty for a moment.

Who is Mrs. Wang?

The emperor of the three dynasties, the head of a century-old family.

Taizong, the first emperor and even the current emperor were all taught by him, and he also watched the emperor grow up.

The emperor could kill everyone who knew the inside story of his ascension to the throne, but he couldn't touch the old lady Wang. Apart from his status as the emperor teacher of the three dynasties, it was more of the Wang family behind the old lady Wang.

The most prosperous family in the dynasty is naturally the Pei family, but when it comes to the background, the Wang family is ranked second, and no one dares to be the first.

As a big family that already existed in the previous dynasty, the Wang family that has continued to this day has a heritage of two to three hundred years. They are a real family. The old man Wang can be in charge of the three generations of the Wang family. His prestige is even fearful to the emperor.

Seeing Mrs. Wang, the emperor already understood that this matter would never be resolved.

He scolded the queen several times in his heart, and then he managed to hold back the anger, and said in a deep voice: "Even Teacher, you are alarmed! If this is true, I will never let Gu Zhiyuan go! "

After hearing the words, Mrs. Wang chuckled lightly, and said in an unclear way: "The emperor must do what he says."

The emperor had already made a plan in his mind. Facing Mr. Wang's questioning, he had a serious expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "It's only natural, Anyang is the princess, and Gu Zhiyuan's doing this is a crime of beheading! I will never forgive him lightly!"

"Your Majesty!" The eldest princess spoke loudly, interrupting the emperor's next words, "If Gu Zhiyuan is convicted in this way, it will inevitably give our Pei family a reputation of being a bully, why don't we let Dali Temple come to judge him?" Judgment! Both of us present evidence, please Master Huang enforce the law impartially, and settle this matter! If Gu Zhiyuan is guilty, he will be dealt with according to the law! If Gu Zhiyuan is not guilty, I would like to ask myself to be deposed from my title and demoted to a concubine people!"

The eldest princess' words were so loud that everyone was stunned.

Mrs. Wang stroked his beard, and his admiring eyes remained the same as before. The emperor was stunned for a long time, but still couldn't believe what he heard.

"Let the emperor make a decision!"

"Please make the decision, Your Majesty!"

The eldest princess and old general Pei knelt on the ground together. Both of them were old people with gray temples and over half a century old. They knelt in front of the emperor, easily making the people around them sympathize.

The emperor was roasted on a torch, unable to say "no".

And the voice of Old Master Wang was even more final: "Your Majesty, this matter may be big or small. In order to convince the people of the world, we should submit this case to Dali Temple and let Dali Temple decide."

Whether it was the eyes of the members of the Pei family, Mrs. Wang, or even the surrounding people, they all put great pressure on the emperor.

Under these triple pressures, how could he have any other choice: "Okay."

The emperor gritted his teeth secretly, and helped the eldest princess and old general Pei up with a calm expression: "Don't worry, aunt, I will personally supervise this case, and let them find out the truth!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the Eldest Princess say loudly: "My wife is waiting for the emperor's words! Anlin, bring out all the evidence we have found!"

"Where is Gu Zhiyuan?" Old General Pei shouted at the same time.

After the words of the two were spoken, the people who had been waiting at the side brought their things and people up.

Gu Zhiyuan, with a bruised nose and swollen face, was dragged to the front of Dali Temple by several burly imperial guards. Behind him, there were Qiu Yun and Gu Hengjin, their bodies were covered with scars.

The three of them appeared one after another, causing the surrounding eyes to focus on them instantly.

Gu Zhiyuan wished he could find a hole in the ground and go in. These gazes were either curious, doubtful, or disgusting, but all of them made Gu Zhiyuan's heart tremble.

He knew that after today was over, what he had done over the years would be made public, and his crimes were so obvious that there was almost no room for maneuver.

Gu Zhiyuan closed his eyes, not daring to look around.

Qiu Yun and Gu Hengjin straightened their necks, as if they were not aware of the situation they were in now, they still thought they were just innocent people who were involved.

The three of them were pushed into the Dali Temple, the emperor sat at the top, Master Huang sat at the bottom left, they didn't dare to raise their heads at all, for fear of meeting the old general Pei opposite.

"Gu Zhiyuan, can you plead guilty?"

Master Huang threw a gavel heavily, the voice made Gu Zhiyuan startled instantly, and opened his eyes.

"I……"

"Princess Dachang sues you for deceiving the king, concealing the fact that she already has a wife and daughter to marry Princess Anyang, and poisoning the princess several times in the past ten years! Can you admit these two crimes?"

Every word of Lord Huang fell into Gu Zhiyuan's ears, and Gu Zhiyuan's body trembled.

His eyes wandered, his lips trembled, and he wanted to speak, but he swallowed it back into his stomach.

"say!"

The emperor spoke in a deep voice, his eyes full of impatience.

Gu Zhiyuan quickly knelt down on the ground, his head kept touching the ground, and the sound of kowtowing made the scalp tingle in those who heard it.

"I... plead guilty!"

Gu Zhiyuan's voice was choked up, and he said in a low voice: "For the sake of the power of the Pei family, and knowing that the princess Anyang favored me, I hid the wives and daughters of my hometown elsewhere. As an excuse, I sent my daughter to the capital to be raised. During the 20 years of my marriage with Princess Anyang, I repeatedly used the poison I got from Taixu Temple on Princess Anyang. After soaking in these poisons, Princess Anyang's health will get worse in the long run."

The series of words made Gu Zhiyuan almost out of breath.

But under Gu Ning's gaze, he held his breath and said everything clearly.

Everyone in the room was shocked, even the common people who were watching the excitement were suppressed by Gu Zhiyuan's method. They were all ordinary people, even if they had conflicts on weekdays, it was just a quarrel, and it would be a big deal if it got into the yamen Well, who would have thought that there are people like Gu Zhiyuan in this world who are so cruel and merciless that they will deliberately harm the person next to him.

"Poison soaking?" Master Huang secretly gasped in his heart, "What kind of poison did you use? How did you soak it?"

"The bed, teacups, and jewelry used by Princess Anyang are all soaked in poison. If things go on like this, her body will only get worse day by day, but it will not be too severe to attract others' attention. .”

"Bastard!" Old General Pei couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, he threw the teacup in front of the table at Gu Zhiyuan viciously, if not for the eldest princess beside him trying to stop him, he would have gone down and beat Gu Zhiyuan violently.

Gu Zhiyuan's body trembled violently, and he subconsciously took a step back.

Seeing his appearance, Old General Pei raised his eyebrows coldly, and he stood up and made a gesture to grab him.

"Why dirty your hands?" Princess Dachang said in a deep voice, making old General Pei sit back half unwillingly, half unwillingly.

He stared heavily at Gu Zhiyuan before sitting down again.

Gu Zhiyuan's head hit the ground heavily, even though the pain in his head was unbearable, he didn't dare to make a sound.

The emperor frowned, and said conveniently: "Since Gu Zhiyuan has pleaded guilty, he should be dealt with according to the law. The crime of deceiving the emperor can be big or small, aunt wants..."

"Your Majesty, this matter is not that simple." The eldest princess blocked the emperor's words as soon as she opened her mouth. She narrowed her eyes and gently swept over Gu Zhiyuan.

"You have seen Taixuguan's account book, and there is no Gu Zhiyuan's name on it." The eldest princess said meaningfully, "Who did Gu Zhiyuan get the poison from? Do you want to get rid of your only attachment? All of this needs to be carefully considered by the emperor."

The emperor secretly clenched the armrest, but his face was extremely distressed: "Auntie is right! Gu Zhiyuan dared to do this, there must be someone behind him, this matter must be investigated carefully!"

"Dali Temple's affairs, the minister's wife is at ease." The eldest princess smiled slightly, took out the evidence she had prepared, and sent someone to send it to the emperor, "In Taixuguan's account books, the Fang family bought the most. There is no movement in the Fang family, and I don't know where the poison they spent tens of thousands of taels of silver is used? Why doesn't the emperor send the imperial army to search the Fang family."

"In my humble opinion, if these poisons can be found from the Fang family, then the Fang family is not the mastermind behind Gu Zhiyuan, but if they can't be found..." The eldest princess sneered, "It can be concluded that the Fang family is Instigate Gu Zhiyuan's people!"

The eldest princess can accurately find the weakness in every step. The emperor knows that maybe they have fully grasped this matter, and now they have to raise it in court, just to appear more legitimate.

Now that the decline is over, the emperor knows that he can never recover.

He pretended to be deeply distressed, and said with a broken heart: "Do everything according to my aunt's wishes! Anyang is also my sister, and I will never watch her suffer!"

"Master Huang, I will leave this matter to Dali Temple." The emperor said in a deep voice, "Do you have any objections?"

"I will do my best to find out the mastermind behind the scenes!" Lord Huang said hastily.

At this moment, Pei Anlin walked out from the crowd. The murderous aura of the guards behind him made the surrounding people subconsciously take a few steps back, separating their positions.

The emperor sat on top and could see the situation below clearly.

Pei Anlin was standing at the door, holding an object in his hand. The emperor fixed his eyes and his body trembled in fright.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Pei Anlin threw the things in his hands inside.

A head with its eyes wide open suddenly appeared in front of Gu Zhiyuan.

This female corpse was placed in front of everyone like this.

Gu Zhiyuan was so frightened that he jumped back three times: "You...you!"

"This is Mrs. Fang's head." Pei Anlin chuckled, "I intended to search Fang's house, but Mrs. Fang actually confessed to it. Not only that, she also killed herself in front of everyone."
