When Qiao Jinniang heard that someone had died in the beast area, she rushed back to the palace with Consort Qi and the others. Xie Xiangxiang’s body was covered with a layer of white cloth. A few officials from Qingming Academy knelt on the ground and begged the emperor to deal with her impartially. Zhou Shihui sat on a chair with grievance, as if she was also seriously injured. Qiao Jinniang walked to Lu Chen’s side and asked softly, “Why would Xie Xiangxiang suddenly appear at the Beast Area? She doesn’t know martial arts or archery.” Lu Chen said, “I’ve already ordered people to investigate.” “Your Majesty, the evidence and witnesses of Princess Fu Lu’s shooting of Miss Xie are complete. I beg the Emperor to deal with it impartially!” Zhou Qinghe also stood up and said, “Yes, your majesty. Since the prince has committed the same crime as the common people, Princess Huai Zhou Sisi was also sentenced to death for accidentally killing Tong Yingying. Princess Fu Lu kept saying that she had accidentally killed Tong Yingying, but it was indeed her who had killed Tong Yingying. She even tried to kill my daughter to Silence Tong Yingying. I Beg Your Majesty to punish her impartially.” Zhou Qing he’s meaning was clearly clear. If your Majesty wanted to show mercy to Fu Lu, then Zhou Sisi’s death sentence should also be revoked. Marquis an yuan cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, there are no eyes in the encirclement. Princess Fu Lu definitely did not kill Tong Yingying on purpose. Moreover, Xie Xiangxiang has a piece of tiger skin on her body. It is precisely because of the tiger skin that Princess Fu Lu mistook Tong Yingying for a ferocious beast!”! “Please Forgive me, Your Majesty.” Seeing that his subordinates were talking about a heavy death penalty and pleading for mercy at the same time, the Hui Lin Emperor said, “Fu Lu, what do you have to say?” Fu Lu, who was kneeling on the ground, said, “Uncle, I really did not kill Xie Xiangxiang on purpose. It was Zhou Shihui who provoked me and made me go to the ferocious beast area to compete with her. This was a trap that she set up for me!” Zhou Shihui said softly in pain, “I have never had any enmity with Xie Xiangxiang, and you know that Xie Xiangxiang and Qiao Lui had a very good relationship in the academy in the past. That’s why you were jealous of Xie Xiangxiang and went to shoot her!” Princess Fu Lu stood up angrily and wanted to slap Zhou Shihui’s face. However, before she could get close, she was stopped by Zhou Siming. “Fu Lu, are you going to threaten Shihui in front of His Majesty?” “Zhou Siming, I’ve treated you as my elder brother since I was young. You’ve watched me grow up. Do you think I would do something so heartless as to harm someone’s life?” Princess Fu Lu said, “Killing Xie Xiangxiang won’t benefit me at all. Moreover, I want to know that Xie Xiangxiang is my uncle Qian’s niece. Why would I harm Xie Xiangxiang!” Zhou shihui said, “Originally, you relied on your status as a princess to force Qiao Lui to marry you. You Were Afraid that Xie Xiangxiang would return to King Wu’s manor and become King Wu’s princess. There were so many students from Qingming Academy protecting Xie Xiangxiang, so you took action.” Fu Lu could not suppress the anger in his heart. “You, you…” Qiao Jinniang went forward and pulled Fu Lu back. “Zhou Shihui, you said earlier that Fu Lu was killed by mistake, and now you’re saying that she did it on purpose. Isn’t that contradicting yourself?” Zhou Shihui said, “Who knows if she really did it on purpose? Maybe she did it on purpose! Anyway, the arrow in Xie Xiangxiang’s heart was shot by her, Your Majesty…” Zhou Shihui looked at the Hui Lin Emperor. “Just now, Fu Lu almost killed me. I Beg Your Majesty to make the decision for me!” Li Lingling had said that she was the biological daughter of the Hui Lin Emperor and had attempted to murder the princess. So what if Fu Lu was the only daughter of the eldest princess? Lu Chen stood out and said, “Father, I would like to request a coroner to examine Xie Xiangxiang’s body. I feel that there is something strange about Xie Xiangxiang wearing tiger fur in the beast area for no reason.” The Huilin emperor said, “Yes.” Soon, a coroner from the Ministry of Justice came over and examined Xie Xiangxiang’s body. He said, “Your Majesty, the fatal injury of the deceased was on her chest. She did not show any signs of fainting when she was alive. She died from an arrow wound.” The Minister of Justice came over and said, “Your Majesty, after being tortured and interrogated by the Ministry of Justice, it was confirmed that Miss Xie entered the ferocious beast area on her own. At that time, a small official reminded Miss Xie that there were ferocious tigers inside. She still entered the ferocious beast area with her fur.” Qiao Jinniang felt that it was strange and frowned slightly. Not to mention women, even those civil officials would not go to the ferocious beast area when hunting. Xie Xiangxiang’s way of doing things was indeed very strange. Zhou Qing he cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, now that the coroner has found out the cause of death, I Beg Your Majesty to stand up for elder Xie and the royal wu manor in Jiangnan!” When Qiao Jinniang heard Zhou Qing he’s words, a chill rose from her back. She and Lu Chen knew Xie Xiangxiang’s identity. But Zhou Qing he did not know! Zhou Qing he thought that Xie Xiangxiang was the child that she threw into the latrine pit. She had already said that the Wu royal residence.. Xie Xiangxiang’s death must have something to do with Zhou Qing and the mother and daughter. Moreover, Xie Xiangxiang might have become glutinous Rice’s scapegoat. Thinking of this, Qiao Jinniang felt that she could not just sit and wait for death. If Zhou Qing he knew glutinous Rice’s identity, could she protect glutinous rice? Many students from Qingming Academy rushed over when they heard the news. They knelt outside the enclosure and begged the emperor for justice. The Hui Lin Emperor looked at Fu Lu and said, “The matter of Princess Fu Lu killing Xie Xiangxiang has all the witnesses and evidence. According to the law, she should be executed. On the hunting ground, the sword has no eyes. She specially snatched the title of Princess Fu Lu from Qin Xiangxiang and was sent to the border as a lowly official.” “Uncle, I really did not kill on purpose. How can you be so muddle-headed!”Fu Lu knelt on the ground and said. Zhou Shihui looked at Fu Lu smugly. To say that His Majesty was muddle-headed at this time, Fu Lu was probably tired of living. However, Zhou Qinghe still said, “Since Qin Xiang killed the young lady of the Xie family and was only sent to the border, then Princess Huai should not be sentenced to death.” Prince Huai also came out and said, “I beg father to spare Zhou Sisi’s life.” The Hui Lin Emperor said with a dark face, “One thing is another.” Zhou Shihui held Zhou Qing he’s hand and advised her not to really provoke the Hui Lin Emperor’s anger. After all, she also wanted her mother and the Hui Lin Emperor to be together. If she regained her rightful identity as a princess, then her marriage with Qiao Lui would be at her fingertips. Why would she let her mother fight over a Zhou Sisi. Qiao Jinniang glanced at the tiger skin beside her. She gently stroked the piece of tiger skin and felt that it was a little strange, she softly asked Lu Chen beside her, “This tiger skin seems to be different from the tiger skin I’ve seen before. The tiger skin I’ve seen doesn’t have such long fur or such a large piece.” Lu Chen said, “No wonder you didn’t know. This is a tiger from Mount Taibai. It’s different from the Tigers of the central plains. There are two pieces of tiger skin from Emperor Wen’s war against Gaoguoli in the palace. “This tiger from Mount Taibai is bigger and more powerful than the Tigers of the central plains. It’s extremely difficult for ordinary warriors to hunt a tiger from Mount Taibai. That tiger skin is almost a thousand taels of silver. Very few people have seen it before.” Lady Qiao asked, “Then where did Xie Xiangxiang get this piece of Tiger Skin?” The color of this tiger skin was a little brighter than that of an ordinary tiger of the central plains. More importantly, why would she bring a piece of tiger skin into the fierce beast area for no reason? With the loss of a human life, the hunt would stop halfway. Back in Ziwei City, Princess Shou’an and the Prince Consort of Qin went to Hanliang Palace to kneel and beg the Hui Lin Emperor to let Fu Lu off lightly. How could fu Lu withstand such a journey all the way to the border! The Hui Lin Emperor said helplessly, “Royal sister, it’s not that I’m ruthless enough to ignore Fu Lu, but this time, the evidence and witnesses are all in place. The one who died was the only granddaughter of great scholar Xie. If I don’t deal with her, I’m afraid that the hearts of all the scholars in the world will be chilled!” Shou an’s eyes were red as he said, “Royal brother, I only have one daughter. I really can’t bear to send her to the border. Moreover, don’t you understand Fu Lu? How can she kill people?” “Manslaughter is also murder!”Hui Lindi said. Shou an said loudly, “But she was set up by Zhou Shihui. You Can’t let my daughter suffer for your own daughter!” “What Daughter?”Hui Lindi said, “How is Zhou Shihui My Daughter?”
