"me……"

Facing Chu Huanyan's successive questions, Chu Ziyuan panicked for a moment and didn't know how to speak.

Lin Zeyuan frowned at this scene. While feeling disgusted with Chu Ziyuan's uselessness in his heart, he looked at Princess Rongchang and called softly, "Princess..."

This great opportunity must not be missed. If Chu Huanyan continues to question him like this, maybe he can really force Chu Ziyuan to change his mind!

Princess Rongchang glanced at Lin Zeyuan, with a hint of impatience in her eyes, but she still spoke the next moment: "What's the point of asking these questions now? No matter how many questions you ask, there is no way to prove that he was not under your instructions."

"Your Highness Princess, judging from the current situation, there is no evidence to prove that this matter is related to Miss Chu." The Dali Temple Minister couldn't help but speak.

"Ha." Princess Rongchang laughed, "You defend her, maybe it's for the prince's sake?"

"Princess, please be careful. This official only decides the case impartially." The Qing of Dali Temple said in a deep voice.

Yesterday, he already knew that Lin Zeyuan went to see Chu Ziyuan. Although it was Her Royal Highness's order and he was unable to stop it, it was not difficult to guess what they said.

"Since the case is decided impartially, we need to talk about evidence. Can Miss Chu provide evidence to prove that you did not instigate?" Princess Rongchang raised her chin slightly and looked at Chu Huanyan lazily.

The latter raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "How do you know, Your Highness, that I can't take it out?"

The look on Princess Rongchang's face paused, "What evidence can you produce?"

Chu Huanyan glanced at Chu Ziyuan, "When did I give you the order the day before yesterday?"

Chu Ziyuan frowned and said thoughtfully: "The afternoon before yesterday."

"Are you sure you remember correctly?" Chu Huanyan asked again.

Chu Ziyuan nodded, "No, it was the afternoon before yesterday. I remember it very clearly."

"Okay." Chu Huanyan looked at the Dali Temple Minister, "I ask for an imperial doctor to take Chu Ziyuan's pulse."

"Please ask for an imperial doctor?" The minister of Dali Temple was puzzled.

"That's right, if I invite this imperial doctor, it may be hard to believe what he says, so I hope that Dali Temple can come forward and invite any imperial doctor to come over."

"You're so good, why do you need to hire an imperial doctor?" Princess Rongchang said suspiciously.

"Don't your Highness the Princess want evidence? My daughter is looking for evidence now. Is it possible that the princess is not willing to let her find it?" Chu Huanyan asked with a smile.

Princess Rongchang didn't understand why Chu Huanyan wanted to hire an imperial doctor, but when everyone looked at her, she snorted coldly and said casually.

Soon, the minister of Dali Temple sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor, and the person who came happened to be Hu Pingzhou's brother.

"Mr. Hu, could you please check his pulse to see if there is any problem." Chu Huanyan said to Dr. Hu.

On the way here, Dr. Hu heard a general description of the situation, nodded in agreement, and began to diagnose the pulse.

Not long after, he frowned and said, "According to the pulse, there is a large amount of drug residue in Prince Chu's body."

"Then the afternoon before yesterday, was he awake?" Chu Huanyan asked.

"Impossible." Dr. Hu said immediately, "According to the pulse, it was not easy for him to wake up yesterday. With this amount of drug, he might have been in a coma for the whole day the day before yesterday."

"No, it won't happen. I was awake the afternoon before yesterday." Chu Ziyuan said immediately.

Naturally, he already knew that he was drugged, but he did wake up the afternoon before yesterday. Although he was groggy, weak, and unable to leave the room, his consciousness was awake.

It was also from that time that he deliberately pretended to be fainted and gathered strength. Fortunately, he finally recovered yesterday afternoon, knocked out Ah Si, changed his clothes and ran out.

Doctor Hu frowned, checked his pulse again, and after a moment said to the Minister of Dali Temple.

"According to the pulse condition, there was absolutely no possibility of waking up the day before yesterday."

"Could it be that Dr. Hu's medical skills were poor and he diagnosed the wrong pulse?" Lin Zeyuan said immediately.

Doctor Hu glanced at Lin Zeyuan with disgust and said coldly: "Others can doubt my medical skills, but you don't seem to be qualified. After all, you asked your mother to pretend to be sick before, in order to deceive Miss Chu and extort money from the Marquis of Ning'an." When the doctor arrived, I noticed it immediately. If my medical skills were not good, I would have let you succeed at that time. "

Lin Zeyuan's face turned pale after being exposed in public.

Doctor Hu was obviously too lazy to pay attention to him, so he cupped his hands and said to the Minister of Dali Temple.

"If you are worried, you can summon other imperial doctors. However, if you ask the official, he can only say that based on his pulse, there is no chance that he was awake the whole day before yesterday."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you very much, Doctor Hu."

Doctor Hu left the court, and the Minister of Dali Temple looked at Chu Ziyuan, "What else do you have to say now?"

"I was awake the day before yesterday. I..." Chu Ziyuan frowned, but apart from repeating this sentence, he didn't know what to say to prove it.

"Why did you get drugged?" Princess Rongchang suddenly asked.

"It's the eldest sister. It's the eldest sister. She drugged me and trapped me in the yard and wouldn't let me leave!" Chu Ziyuan said quickly.

"What a cruel heart." Princess Rongchang looked at Chu Huanyan quietly, "As the eldest sister, she is so cruel to her younger brother. It is not surprising that such a person plans to kill her second uncle."

"Then why do you still obey my orders and risk your life to kill people for me when you know that you are drugged by me, the eldest sister, and trapped in the yard?" Chu Huanyan smiled playfully, "Don't you think this makes sense, Princess? "

Princess Rongchang frowned, and before she could speak, Chu Huanyan spoke to the Minister of Dali Temple again.

"Your Excellency, please call the next witness."

"Are there any witnesses?" The Dali Temple Minister was stunned for a moment, and then he spoke to summon the witnesses to the court.

Not long after, Chu Xixu walked in.

Asking for Chu Xixu, Bai was stunned for a moment, "Xu'er, why are you here?"

After coming back to his senses, his expression changed again, "Are you Chu Huanyan's witness?"

"Yes." Chu Xixu looked at his mother and nodded, "I can prove that my mother received the benefits, and I agree to target my cousin in court today."

"Are you crazy?" Bai looked at Chu Xixu in disbelief, "I am your mother, the person who died was your father, and you actually excused the murderer!"

Chu Xixu took a deep breath and said, "Chu Ziyuan killed his father, and his son will never excuse him. But yesterday, someone met my mother privately and promised you ten thousand taels of silver, so that you can obey their orders. And he kept saying that they had already arranged it, and Chu Ziyuan would cooperate to frame his cousin, which my son heard with his own ears."

After saying that, Chu Xixu knelt down to the Dali Temple Qing.

"Everything I say is true and there is no deception. Please consider that my mother has just lost her husband and forgive her for being greedy and being deceived by others. Please forgive me!"
