Yingning's soul had disappeared. She could no longer prove Princess Qian You's innocence, nor could she testify for Zhong Shan. However, Zhong Shan was not worried. In fact, he was very satisfied.
Zhong Shan had already confirmed the culprit, Heaven's Equal. After Yingning's appearance, Heaven's Equal's rhythm had been disrupted.
When his rhythm was disrupted, his heart was disrupted. When his heart was disrupted, his thoughts were also disrupted.
The next step was to fall into Zhong Shan's rhythm.
"Your Majesty, Gu clan relatives, Lords, please take a look at this Wind God Bow and Wind God Arrow!" Zhong Shan grabbed the green Wind God Bow and Wind God Arrow.
Everyone turned to look at him.
"These are the murder weapons in Yingning's case. Wind God Arrow and Wind God Bow. Just now, Heaven's Equal said that Princess Qian You used them to kill Yingning. Then how did she bring them into the Princess Residence? There were so many guests that day. Who saw Princess Qian You with this bow? "Zhong Shan looked around.
"No, no one saw it. The Wind God Arrow and Wind God Bow are ninth-grade Dharma treasures. They have treasure spirits within them, but they cannot be stored in storage bracelets. Princess Qian You has just reached the Ultimate Emperor Realm. Many people should know that. It is impossible for her to refine them in such a short time. In other words, this bow is not something that Princess Qian You always carried with her, "Zhong Shan said with certainty.
Zhong Shan's words caused all the officials to nod. The Gu clan relatives also silently stared at Zhong Shan. It was indeed as Zhong Shan said.
"Haha, if it wasn't brought into the Princess Residence by Gu Qian You, then could it have been hidden there? Or could it have been brought into the Princess Residence by someone else? "Heaven's Equal immediately said. He had clearly discovered a flaw in his accusation of Princess Qian You.
"Hidden in the Princess Residence? Princess Qian You had entered Princess Ying Hua's residence a few years ago. Could it be that no one had found Princess Qian You's hidden bow in these few years? An outsider brought it in? I have checked the list of gifts that day. Only one person sent a big package as a gift for Princess Ying Chi. That person is Lord Ma Chui Ri Ma. "Zhong Shan said.
"Zhong Shan, don't slander me. I was the first to discover the crime scene. How could it be me? "Ma Zhuiri suddenly became anxious. His eyes widened.
"Perhaps you and Gu Qianyou are in cahoots?" Heaven's Equal immediately turned his head and said.
Since Ma Zhuiri's package could be used as an excuse, Heaven's Equal immediately chose to sacrifice Ma Zhuiri. As long as Princess Qian You was punished, what was there to be reluctant about? He was even willing to part with his own younger sister, so how could he talk about this uncle?
"Heaven's Equal, you!" Ma Zhuiri said anxiously.
"It's not Lord Ma. Lord Ma's package is for Yingning's pets, five ice toads. Until today, it still hadn't been opened. Furthermore, the diameter of the package isn't big enough to contain the Wind God Bow. The Wind God Bow is too long. "Zhong Shan immediately rejected the idea.
"Thank you, Dongfang Hou!" Ma Zhuiri immediately thanked Zhong Shan.
Right now, they were in a standoff in the imperial court and the Emperor was the judge. If there was any negative influence, he would be finished. He never thought that his nephew would slander him at this time.
Heaven's Equal's heart was in a mess. His original calmness had long disappeared. Now, Heaven's Equal was incomparably impetuous. He only had one goal, and that was to make Princess Qian You guilty. No matter the price, he had to make her guilty.
The court officials watched quietly. The more they watched, the more confusing the case became.
Princess Qian You's crime became lighter and lighter. This was because she wasn't the one who brought the Wind God Bow and Wind God Arrow in.
"Since Ma Zhuiri didn't bring them in, then why are the Wind God Bow and Wind God Arrow in Yingning's residence?" Heaven's Equal stared at Zhong Shan and asked.
"The Wind God Bow was in the princess' residence. As Princess Qian You said, Yingning took it out. As for the Wind God Arrow, it was naturally hidden in the murderer's place." Zhong Shan said with certainty.
"Haha, when Gu Qian You's father died, Yingning was only three years old. Don't tell me that the three-year-old Yingning had the ability to hide the Wind God Bow!" Heaven's Equal stared at Zhong Shan and questioned.
"The Wind God Bow wasn't obtained by Yingning back then. It was given to her by the murderer." Zhong Shan stared at Heaven's Equal.
Seeing Zhong Shan's questioning gaze, Heaven's Equal couldn't help but panic. However, he had already survived the incident with Yingning's soul. How could he be frightened by Zhong Shan's gaze?
"Murderer. You keep saying that the murderer isn't Gu Qian You. Then, in your heart, who is the murderer?" Heaven's Equal took a deep breath and asked.
"The culprit is …" Zhong Shan dragged out his words as he looked around the Imperial Court.
Following Zhong Shan's voice, almost everyone's heart jumped. He was finally going to mention the murderer.
Seeing Zhong Shan's unhurried appearance, Heaven's Equal gulped. He was incomparably anxious. Who was it? Who would Zhong Shan accuse? Heaven's Equal impatiently urged Zhong Shan to quickly say it. This was because Heaven's Equal, the real murderer, really wanted the dust to settle on this' murderer '.
Zhong Shan looked around and his gaze suddenly stopped at Heaven's Equal. He shouted, "You, Heaven's Equal!"
Zhong Shan's sudden shout directly pointed at Heaven's Equal. A powerful aura rushed over, causing Heaven's Equal to unconsciously take a step back. Cold sweat once again appeared on his face.
In the court, the Gu clan was in an uproar. Heaven's Equal? Zhong Shan was actually going to accuse Heaven's Equal in the end?
"Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha!" Heaven's Equal laughed dryly in panic.
"Yingning is my little sister. How could I kill her? Zhong Shan, are you crazy? You're pointing at a person and biting randomly? "Heaven's Equal cried out in shock.
"Little sister? Yingning died at your hands because she trusted you too much, "said Zhong Shan coldly.
"Why would I kill Yingning? You don't have the slightest bit of logic. You want to slander me without any proof?" Heaven's Equal forced himself to be calm.
"Hmph, if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Why? Let me tell you why. It's because of your greed, your selfishness, and your heartlessness. In the past, Gu Lin and Gu Qianyou had a marriage agreement, but after Gu Qianyou became a princess, she had the right to decide where she belonged. She jumped out of the marriage agreement. Gu Lin was unwilling, and after becoming Heaven's Equal, he continued to try to win back Princess Qianyou's heart. However, matters of the heart cannot be forced. So you thought of the marriage agreement. You wanted to pull down Princess Qianyou's position. Once she did that, you, Heaven's Equal, would be able to get what you wanted. You wanted to use the marriage agreement to pull Princess Qianyou down.
"Yingning was a relative of the Gu Clan. She was favored by Tian Lao and was about to become a princess. She had a beneficial relationship with Princess Qianyou. She was the most suitable candidate. Even if she was your little sister, you actually killed her. First, you bewitched Yingning and told her that Tian Lao was a 'Xun Cauldron Body.' If Tian Lao knew, he would definitely choose a new disciple. So you used Yingning's Wind God Bow to lure her into using it. Then you hid in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to act. After a loud explosion, Ma Zhuiri became suspicious. When Ma Zhuiri came over, you used the Wind God Bow to kill Yingning. You ran away from the scene of the crime and arrived at the scene of Yingning's death after all the guests.
"I wonder if my hypothesis is correct, Heaven's Equal?" Heaven's Equal? "Zhong Shan stared at Heaven's Equal as he finished speaking.
It was exactly the same as what Zhong Shan had said. More and more cold sweat appeared on Heaven's Equal's face. Normally, Heaven's Equal would laugh it off because Zhong Shan didn't have any evidence.
However, Heaven's Equal's rhythm was already messed up. From the moment Yingning's soul appeared, Heaven's Equal's rhythm was messed up. His heart was also messed up. He had completely fallen into Zhong Shan's rhythm.
Heaven's Equal's emotions were following Zhong Shan's rhythm.
This way, he would definitely lose.
In the distance, Fan Yipin shook his head. He had already determined the result. The four princes and the Grand Tutor all looked at Zhong Shan. Their eyes were solemn. The Sacred Ancient Mystique was still waiting patiently.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha, hahahaha," Heaven's Equal kept laughing dryly. It was as if he wanted to use his laughter to ease the fear in his heart.
An incomparably secretive matter was actually exposed in front of everyone. Heaven's Equal kept laughing dryly to hide the fear in his heart. At the same time, he kept thinking about how to deal with it. However, with his emotions in a mess, how could he think of the best excuse? In addition, Heaven's Equal was facing the incomparably 'experienced' Zhong Shan. How could the immature Heaven's Equal be calm?
"Heaven's Equal, what are you laughing at?" Zhong Shan said aggressively.
"I'm laughing at your assumption. Ignorant idiot, you don't know shit!" Heaven's Equal immediately retorted. His heart was in a mess, and he immediately lost his usual bearing and demeanor.
"Since you don't know shit, why is Heaven's Equal breaking out in cold sweat? This is very strange! "Zhong Shan laughed.
Upon hearing Zhong Shan's words, Heaven's Equal immediately felt the cold sweat on his face. He immediately wiped it with his hand and opened his mouth to explain.
However, how could Zhong Shan let him explain? Now, Zhong Shan needed to make Heaven's Equal fall into a state of panic and quibble over and over again.
It was just like a human brain. Thinking about a problem only required a few tens of clarity. What Zhong Shan wanted to do was to make Heaven's Equal think about a few problems at the same time. This way, Heaven's Equal's clarity would be overdrawn.
"Heaven's Equal, where were you at noon on the day of the incident?" Zhong Shan shouted.
The imperial court was very quiet. It had completely become Zhong Shan's stage. No one dared to interrupt.
Zhong Shan shouted. Heaven's Equal quivered and said, "At Yingxiu Residence's West Court Pavilion."
This was recorded in the records that day. At that time, Heaven's Equal was bored and drinking alone at West Court Pavilion. He only came out when he heard Ma Zhuiri shout.
"What were you doing at West Court Pavilion?" Zhong Shan stared at Heaven's Equal and asked.
"Drinking!" Heaven's Equal replied in cold sweat.
"What wine do you want to drink?" Zhong Shan quickly asked.
"Drink, drink that, drink …" Heaven's Equal's mind short-circuited for a moment, as if he still needed to think.
"Was it the Eight Immortals Brew?" Zhong Shan stared at Heaven's Equal.
The Eight Immortals Brew was a very expensive wine that was often drunk by the Gu Clan's relatives.
"Yes, the Eight Immortals Brew!" Heaven's Equal seemed to come back to his senses and immediately answered Zhong Shan.
"The Eight Immortals Brew. That day, there were all kinds of wines at the Princess' Residence's banquet, except for the Eight Immortals Brew!" Zhong Shan narrowed his eyes.
Upon hearing Zhong Shan's words, Heaven's Equal was slightly stunned. His heart instantly became extremely flustered.
Actually, if Heaven's Equal had calmed down, he could have just said that he had brought it there. However, Heaven's Equal's clarity of mind had already started to overdraw.
"Did you bring it there yourself?" Zhong Shan asked again.
"Yes, I brought it there. I drank my own wine. "Heaven's Equal seemed to be afraid that he wouldn't be able to say it in time and quickly answered. At the same time, his thoughts had completely followed Zhong Shan.
"Why did you bring the Eight Immortals Brew? Did you know that there wasn't any Eight Immortals Brew at the banquet, or do you have the habit of bringing your own wine? "Zhong Shan asked again.
"I, I, I, why did I have to answer!" Heaven's Equal seemed to have finally retaliated in his anger.
"Yes, I don't know why you had to answer either! What a disgrace! "Zhong Shan mocked.
"Zhong Shan, you …" Heaven's Equal looked at Zhong Shan anxiously and angrily.
"You're sweating a lot again!" Zhong Shan pointed at Heaven's Equal's face and said curiously.
Heaven's Equal wiped it away immediately. His face was filled with panic.
"These days, you've been burning joss paper at Yingning's funeral hall every day. Did Yingning look for you in your dreams? What did she say to you? "Zhong Shan asked again.
Heaven's Equal finally couldn't take it anymore and immediately called out to the emperor, "Your Majesty, …"
"Let's finish our conversation first. Everyone is waiting to see what you were doing that afternoon." Zhong Shan immediately interrupted with a smile.
Hearing Zhong Shan stop him again, Heaven's Equal screamed in fear, "Didn't I tell you? I was drinking at Xi Yuan Pavilion! "
Heaven's Equal was extremely panicked and he almost shouted this sentence. After shouting, he stared at Zhong Shan while panting. He was extremely anxious.
Zhong Shan immediately shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about the afternoon you killed Yingning. I'm talking about the afternoon before you killed her!"
Heaven's Equal didn't even think as he shouted anxiously, "The afternoon before I killed her, I …"
"Hua ~ ~ ~ ~"
"Hua ~ ~ ~"
"Hua ~ ~ ~"
There was an uproar in the imperial court. Be it the officials or the Gu Family relatives, they were all extremely shocked. They discussed amongst themselves and it was extremely noisy. Heaven's Equal actually admitted it? He admitted that he killed Yingning? The afternoon before he killed Yingning? What he did that afternoon wasn't important anymore. The important thing was that he killed Yingning. Heaven's Equal killed his own sister and admitted it in front of the Gu Family relatives and all the officials.
The moment Heaven's Equal said that, Zhong Shan's expression turned serious. Success! At the same time, Zhong Shan grabbed the Wind God Bow and Wind God Arrow beside him.
Heavenly Marquis's Equal paused halfway through his sentence.
"The afternoon before I killed her?"
"The afternoon before I killed her?"
"The afternoon before I killed her?"
How could he say such a thing? How could he admit it?
The matter was exposed! It was exposed from his own mouth!
