Seeing everyone's gaze, Yun Ruoyue sneered unhurriedly, "Your Majesty, at that time, before this concubine wanted to dance, this concubine told Consort King Zhao that this concubine had a medicine called Hundred Flower Honey that could attract butterflies. The Consort of The Emperor of Jin might have eavesdropped on this matter. Then, she found an opportunity to steal my Hundred Flower Honey, wanting to attract butterflies herself. However, this concubine still had a medicine in her bag called Bee Attracting Medicine. It was very similar to the bottle of Hundred Flower Honey, both of which were stored in white jade bottles. When she stole it, she probably didn't distinguish clearly and stole the Bee Attracting Medicine, which led to this disaster. This concubine only remembered it after leaving the palace. At that time, this concubine checked the cloth bag and found that the Bee Attracting Medicine was indeed gone. Then, thinking about how the Consort of The Emperor of Jin suddenly wanted to dance to attract butterflies, this concubine guessed that perhaps she wanted to steal the Hundred Flower Honey, but ended up stealing the Bee Attracting Medicine instead. "
"Does this count as trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing a handful of rice instead?" Chu Xuanchen coldly replied.
When Magistrate Zhang and the others heard this, they all began to discuss in low voices.
"So it's like this. No wonder I felt it was so strange. The Consort of The Emperor of Jin didn't know how to attract butterflies, but suddenly wanted to dance to attract butterflies. In the end, she attracted bees instead."
"She stole The Princess of Li's medicine, and she stole the wrong medicine, which led to this. She reaped what she sowed. The Princess of Li didn't even blame her for the crime of stealing, but she actually made a false accusation and blamed The Princess of Li for her disfigurement. This is just like the case I investigated last time. There was a thief who stole fruits from the neighbor next door to eat. In the end, he accidentally choked to death. In the end, the thief's family sued the neighbor and asked for compensation. These two matters are both different approaches to the same goal! "
"From this point of view, the Consort of The Emperor of Jin isn't innocent. She first committed the crime of theft and then the crime of murder. With these two crimes added together, her crime isn't light."
The ones who spoke were naturally the officials of Chu Xuanchen.
When the Minister of Justice, Geng Tian, saw this, he hurriedly said, "Everyone, although The Emperor of Jin's Imperial Concubine was wrong, she has also received her punishment. Look at her face. For a woman, this is the most painful thing. Everyone, let's not sprinkle salt on her wound."

"Moreover, The Emperor of Jin's Imperial Concubine wanted to dance to attract a hundred butterflies. She also wanted to show off our country's prestige in front of the foreign guests. Although she did something wrong, her intentions were good. She had a noble status, so how could she be dealt with as she pleased? Moreover, she didn't hurt The Princess of Li at all. It was an attempt and she should be given a light sentence. "The Empress also said coldly.
Yun Ruoyue was amused.
She was kidnapped by Su Changxiao and almost lost her life, while Su Changxiao was only stung by a bee.
They actually said that they shouldn't sprinkle salt on Su Changxiao's wound. The Emperor of Jin's Imperial Concubine was really precious.
She suddenly thought of a line. "You've only lost a leg, but Ziling has lost love!"
"A prince who commits a crime is punished the same as a commoner. The Emperor of Jin's Imperial Concubine kidnapped The Princess of Li. Although she didn't hurt her, according to the law, she should be sentenced to at least three years in prison. Moreover, The Emperor of Jin's Imperial Concubine was a premeditated murder. Murdering an Imperial Concubine is an additional crime. According to the law, she should be beheaded. "Chu Xuanchen stood up and said in a low voice.
Geng Tian immediately said, "But The Emperor of Jin's Imperial Concubine is also very noble. As a daughter-in-law of the imperial family, if she is heavily sentenced, it will damage the country's reputation. The Emperor of Li, you and The Emperor of Jin are all family. Why must you fight with each other? Why don't we each take a step back? In my opinion, The Emperor of Jin's Imperial Concubine should compensate The Princess of Li with some money to appease her. The foreign envoys will only depart tomorrow. How can we not let them know about this and think that Chu has internal strife? We can't damage Chu's reputation. Why don't we turn this into a small matter, and a small matter into nothing? "
