Chapter 172: County Princess Ye staged a scene of taking a knife for someone.
Ye Zhihui knew that she couldn't escape this matter.
The old doctor was from her hometown and brought medicine with him. With witnesses and physical evidence, the Dali Temple could examine the medicine and then the body, so the evidence was conclusive.
She ignored Fei Yu and took two steps forward, approaching the Crown Prince.
Yu Feng took a step forward, looking wary.
"I did all this for you! To get you. But you've never even looked at me properly!" Tears streamed down Ye Zhihui's face. She had stopped pretending, her expression filled with hatred.
"I used to think you treated all women the same, but I realized that's not true since she came! Why are you so good to her!" Ye Zhihui pointed at Qin Wanying, her eyes filled with jealousy.
Qin Wanying: ......
What do I have to do? At this moment, I just want to be a quiet background figure.
As soon as he finished speaking, the generals in the room sighed in dismay.
When Miss Ye said these words, she was admitting her own crimes.
They were initially unwilling to believe the truth, but when Ye Zhihui said it herself, the soldiers felt a chill run down their spines.
Her father and brothers were such good people.
Loyal, kind, and willing to sacrifice for his country.
Later, when they heard that General Ye's orphaned daughter was still alive, they took extra care of her.
Ye Zhihui did indeed help others widely and had a very good reputation among the people. They did not doubt Ye Zhihui's character, but only felt that she was indeed a descendant of a loyal and virtuous person. As an orphan, she still thought of helping others.
But now, all the truth has been revealed, and Ye Zhihui is actually so vicious.
What she just said was tantamount to admitting that Ye Zhihui jumped into the water on her own, and that Qin Wanying did not push her.
General Han's face was turning red and white in turns.
He felt he was really senile, having been manipulated by a wicked young girl and brought so many people to the Crown Prince's residence to demand an explanation. He was utterly foolish!
The other military officers also looked rather grim.
General Han's son looked particularly grim.
With tears streaming down her face, Ye Zhihui smiled at the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, are you going to send me to the Dali Temple for questioning? Are you going to prosecute me for murder? Don't forget, I was the one who took the knife for you, I saved your life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
Yes, Ye Zhihui saved His Highness the Crown Prince's life.
At this moment, it would be unjust not to pursue Ye Zhihui's wrongdoing.
To pursue this matter further would be to be ungrateful.
Fei Yu turned her gaze to the Crown Prince.
I wonder what the Crown Prince will decide?
The Crown Prince, however, did not have so many conflicting feelings.
He had long known that Ye Zhihui's rescue of him was a conspiracy, and he no longer regarded Ye Zhihui as his benefactor.
Even if Ye Zhihui's rescue of him wasn't a conspiracy, and Ye Zhihui was truly his savior, he wouldn't let the matter rest.
Whoever commits murder must be tried; otherwise, where is justice?
Isn't Feiyu's life a life too?
If Ye Zhihui truly saved his life, he could plead for leniency afterward, but Ye Zhihui must first be put on trial.
Unfortunately, no results were found regarding that assassination attempt many years ago.
For now, we can only hand the person over to the Dali Temple and investigate slowly.
"Guards, take Princess Ye to the Dali Temple to await trial," the Crown Prince ordered.
Several guards rushed forward, one on each side, to seize Ye Zhihui. Ye Zhihui laughed wildly, "Hahaha, Your Highness, you disregard the grace of saving my life and are going to punish me..."
Those present frowned.
It's not a good thing to accuse the crown prince of such a crime.
At that moment, a voice rang out in the hall.
"Please wait a moment."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Qin Wanying's voice.
Everyone was surprised, wondering what Qin Wanying was going to say.
Qin Wanying said, "Your Highness, there is more to the story than meets the eye when you were assassinated many years ago and Princess Ye saved you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Zhihui's pupils dilated in shock.
The madness on her face froze, and she stopped screaming.
How did Qin Wanying find out?
The Crown Prince looked at Qin Wanying with a hint of joy in his eyes.
Could it be that Qin Wanying has made another discovery, or found some evidence?
The veterans were all taken aback.
Back then, wasn't it just about the Crown Prince being assassinated and Ye Zhihui taking the blow for him? What hidden story could there be?
Qin Wanying's face fell on someone behind Ye Zhihui.
This person is none other than Han Zhiheng, the son of General Han.
It seems she made the right choice coming today.
The case of the Crown Prince's assassination attempt happened so long ago, yet nothing was found at the time. Now, it will probably be even more difficult to uncover the truth.
She tried to see what the situation was like back then in Ye Zhihui, but found nothing.
Her abilities are limited; she can't see everything, big or small. This is one such case that she simply couldn't see.
But after seeing Han Zhiheng, everything was resolved.
"Back then, it was a play that Princess Ye directed and acted out herself. The person who assassinated His Highness the Crown Prince was someone Princess Ye found herself, and she also staged a scene of taking the knife for him, which made His Highness the Crown Prince grateful to her to tears."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Crown Prince and Yu Feng showed no obvious change in expression, while the others were almost speechless with astonishment.
Was the assassination attempt on the Crown Prince a staged event orchestrated by Miss Ye herself?
How can it be?
Where did Miss Ye get such great ability to mobilize so many assassins to do such a thing!
And how did this Miss Qin find out?
Ye Zhihui's face turned deathly pale as she stared intently at Qin Wanying.
Qin Wanying, are you really going to destroy everything I have?
How did you know all this?!
General Han spoke up, "Miss Qin, do you have any evidence to support your claim?"
Qin Wanying smiled gently: "General Han, I naturally have evidence. This evidence is right here in your residence."
As soon as he finished speaking, General Han was stunned.
In his residence? How could the evidence possibly be in his residence?
Han Zhiheng, standing beside General Han, turned pale and quickly said, "Nonsense! Don't listen to her nonsense! How could the evidence possibly be in my Han residence!"
Qin Wanying looked at Han Zhiheng and sneered: "The evidence is in the Han residence, because those assassins who tried to kill His Highness the Crown Prince were arranged by you!"
As soon as Qin Wanying finished speaking, everyone's pupils contracted.
Miss Qin actually said that it was General Han's son, arranged by Han Zhiheng!
Ye Zhihui was almost petrified on the spot.
Just who exactly is Qin Wanying?
Isn't she just the legitimate daughter of a marquis's family? How did a mere woman find out all this?!
Ye Zhihui gradually realized that she had provoked someone she shouldn't have.
This person is definitely not simple.
Han Zhiheng's lips turned slightly white: "Outrageous! How dare you slander this general like this! What is your punishment?"
Qin Wanying remained completely calm. "If I didn't have solid evidence, how could I make this public in front of everyone?"
"If I dare to say this in public, then I can certainly produce evidence. If I am slandering the general, I am willing to bear the punishment."
