Su Yinyin said coldly, "My lord, we believe that the truth will be revealed when it comes to light. I hope that Eunuch Li and Lord Chen will follow my advice and find out the truth as soon as possible."
Su Yinyin's eyebrows furrowed, her eyes revealing determination and resolve, her voice cold and powerful.
Eunuch Li nodded slightly: "I think what the princess said makes sense."
Eunuch Li nodded slightly, his expression solemn, a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
Lord Chen echoed, "Then let's do as the princess says and make the arrangements immediately."
Lord Chen nodded solemnly, then waved his hand to signal his men to get to work.
Before long, the imperial physician was summoned to the Marquis of Yongyi's residence. After examining the patient, the physician's expression became very strange.
The imperial physician frowned, his eyes filled with doubt, and shook his head repeatedly, as if he had encountered an extremely difficult situation.
When the imperial physician returned to the government office, Lord Chen eagerly inquired, "Imperial Physician, how is the young master's condition?"
"Your Excellency, the young master is not unconscious; he has been drugged." The imperial physician took a deep breath and solemnly reported with his hands clasped.
Everyone gasped in shock, while Marquis Yongyi instantly turned pale, swayed, and nearly lost his balance.
Su Yinyin asked sarcastically, "My lord, what is the reason for this?"
Su Yinyin's lips curled up into a mocking smile, her eyes filled with contempt.
"This...this must be a setup." Marquis Yongyi's eyes darted around, his words were hesitant, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
Lord Chen roared, "My lord, now that things have come to this, why don't you confess honestly?"
Lord Chen glared angrily and slammed his hand on the table, making everything on it bounce.
Marquis Yongyi forced himself to explain, "I was just heartbroken. Jianguo was in unbearable pain, so I gave him a sleeping potion to alleviate his pain."
Marquis Yongyi tried to remain calm, but his hands clenched unconsciously, and his voice trembled slightly.
Seeing the Marquis of Yongyi's appearance, Su Yinyin shook her head inwardly.
Is this still the same brilliant scholar who once ranked third in the imperial examinations?
Shouldn't love make people shine? This Marquis Yongyi is turning black!
This is poisonous love! Love has eroded his will and his will.
Su Yinyin glanced at Marquis Yongyi and said, "Although I am just a woman, I still know basic common sense. Shouldn't I use painkillers if the pain is unbearable?"
Su Yinyin tilted her head slightly, her gaze clear and sharp, her tone tinged with doubt.
As soon as Su Yinyin spoke, the people outside the government office finally grasped the key point. Yes, if the pain is unbearable, shouldn't they use painkillers?
Something's fishy, there's definitely something fishy going on...!
Keep your voice down, or Marquis Yongyi will retaliate against you.
The discussions among the common people all reached the ears of Marquis Yongyi.
Marquis Yongyi's face grew increasingly grim. He glared fiercely at the outside of the government office, yet he was helpless.
He was full of confidence before he left home.
But nothing went as he predicted.
It has deviated from all his predictions.
"Su Yinyin, don't try to change the subject. The evidence against you for murdering the old lady is irrefutable." Marquis Yongyi trembled with rage, his finger pointing directly at Su Yinyin, his eyes blazing with fury.
Su Yinyin said calmly, "My lord, why be so angry! Are you sure that the person I killed was the old lady? Did you see clearly?"
Su Yinyin remained calm and composed, with a smile on her face, but her eyes were exceptionally cold.
Marquis Yongyi roared at the top of his lungs, his neck veins bulging, looking extremely ferocious.
Everyone present heard Marquis Yongyi's voice clearly: "Yes, yes, yes, that person is my biological mother, the old lady of the Marquis Yongyi's mansion. There is absolutely no mistake!"
Su Yinyin, with an air of righteousness, loudly declared: "Wrong, the person I killed was not the old lady of the Yongyi Marquis's mansion. It was just someone who looked very similar to the old lady."
Su Yinyin stood tall and proud, her voice booming, radiating an aura of authority.
Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded, speechless with astonishment, and the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.
Marquis Yongyi's eyes widened, and he roared in disbelief, "Su Yinyin, you're talking nonsense! How is this possible?"
Lord Chen frowned, his eyes full of suspicion, and asked, "Princess, you can't just make things up. Do you have any evidence?"
Su Yinyin's gaze was firm as she said, "Lord Chen, since I dare to say this, I naturally have evidence. The old lady has a special birthmark, while the person I killed did not."
Su Yinyin stared intently at Lord Chen, her tone unwavering.
Marquis Yongyi laughed in anger: "Su Yinyin, this is clearly sophistry. Who can prove the birthmark?"
Marquis Yongyi's laughter was filled with anger and mockery.
At this moment, Eunuch Li, who had been silent all along, said, "I think what the princess said might not be unfounded. Why don't we send someone to the Marquis's residence to investigate?"
Eunuch Li's voice was not loud, but it was extremely authoritative.
Marquis Yongyi's face was so gloomy it could drip water; he clenched his teeth, yet was utterly helpless.
Before long, the person sent to investigate returned. The investigator looked flustered and rushed over, bowing as he reported, "Sir, it is indeed as the princess said, that person has no birthmark."
"How could this be, how could this be..." Marquis Yongyi was struck dumb, collapsing to the ground with a blank stare in his eyes, muttering to himself.
Su Yinyin sneered, "My lord, the truth is now out. This was clearly a setup by someone to frame me."
Su Yinyin crossed her arms, sneered, and her eyes were full of mockery.
"My lord, what else do you have to say?" Lord Chen glared at Marquis Yongyi with piercing eyes and a stern tone.
Marquis Yongyi's face turned ashen, knowing that by using this excuse, he could not ensure that Su Yinyin would die without a proper burial.
But how will things end if we act as they do now?
Marquis Yongyi said helplessly, "I have nothing to say. I can only say that I have wronged Su Yinyin. I will not pursue this matter further and will take my leave now."
Marquis Yongyi hung his head dejectedly, spoke weakly, and struggled to get up and leave.
After speaking, Marquis Yongyi turned to leave. He just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.
Lord Chen roared, "My lord, how can this matter be settled so easily? You have framed the princess and disrupted the court. If you do not provide a reasonable explanation, you are not to be leaving!"
Lord Chen slammed his fist on the table again and shouted angrily.
Marquis Yongyi paused, then forced himself to say, "Lord Chen, this was a moment of confusion on my part. I am willing to accept the punishment."
Marquis Yongyi stopped in his tracks, his body trembling slightly. His appearance at that moment was quite pitiful.
Eunuch Li said sarcastically from the side, "My lord, this isn't something that can be resolved with a simple statement of willingness to accept punishment. Falsely accusing the princess is a serious crime!"
Eunuch Li glanced sideways at Marquis Yongyi, his tone sarcastic, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Eunuch Li dared to act this way not only because he was acting on imperial orders, but also because he knew that Su Yinyin had a renowned physician behind her, and was also the emperor's right-hand man.
She was also favored by the Empress Dowager. With so many top-tier experts around her, Su Yinyin was no ordinary person.
Therefore, between Su Yinyin and Yongyi Hou, he would definitely choose Su Yinyin.
This great Buddha statue, Eunuch Li must hold on tight.
Su Yinyin said, "Lord Chen, Eunuch Li, since Marquis Yongyi has admitted his mistake, why not listen to how he plans to make amends?"
Su Yinyin's lips curled up slightly, a sly glint in her eyes.
"I, the Marquis, am willing to apologize to the Princess and offer compensation," Marquis Yongyi said hastily, his eyes filled with pleading.
Su Yinyin snorted coldly, turned her head away, and stopped looking at Marquis Yongyi: "My lord, this compensation is not something that can be done casually."
"I am willing to offer a thousand taels of gold as a token of my apology," Marquis Yongyi said through gritted teeth.
