Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)

Unexpected

The piece of paper that was on the grand judge made Yang Jia Li and Zhou Xing Huan choked, both of them being similarly shocked. The reason, the proof of the purchase of mercury should be stored safely in a drawer near the queen's bed. Only Yang Jia Li himself could open it, not even the maids could clean the drawer. All the precious things of the empress are hidden there, their history is exhausted.

The judges approached each other to see clearly what was written on the sheet, again smuggling goods from Su Country. The prosperous country was one of the trading friends of the Ming Dynasty, but smuggling of sharp weapons and dangerous drugs also came from there.

The chief judge looked up after reading the contents inside of him carefully. The conclusion is clearly reached. The judge looked at the two people alternately, and their facial expressions were about the same. Surprised!

"Empress Yang Jia Li and Prince Zhou Xing Huan were found guilty of the purchase of dangerous goods and charges of poisoning Princess Zhou Xie Ling with mercury" the judge said.

"The Empress and the Prince of the East will be temporarily detained pending further investigation, and wait for the emperor to return to the palace."

"In the interim, the Department of Prosecutors will be responsible for further investigation."

The decision of the supreme judge made Yang Jia Li furious, he could not stay silent. The two pieces of evidence were certainly very strong to hold both of them, but the empress continued to force her brain to think. If he was arrested, then the chief justice would naturally release Wu Li Mei.

Damn, failing yet another mature plan Yang Jia Li had to eliminate that crafty concubine. The empress shook her head strongly, she was unwilling to languish in the prosecutor's department prison like Wu Li Mei.

"No!"

"Wait!"

"You can't decide that!"

"Can't!"

"I don't want to!"

Yang Jia Li continued to rebel, the two soldiers who were blocking his hands were overwhelmed. "No, can't!" rejecting raw.

"You can't hold me back, I'm innocent. It is Wu Li Mei's trickery to set me up."

The empress pointed towards Wu Li Mei, "He's the guilty one, not me!"

"The evidence points to you, Your Majesty." replied the chief judge, the old man remained firm on his decision.

Supreme Court Justice He was the most honest judge in the court, serving as the judge since the previous emperor. At that time the judge was young and was happy to exchange ideas with Emperor Zhou Huan Wang, the father of the current emperor. It was also what made him a wise figure and much admired by the nobility and students.

Supreme Court Justice He was never indiscriminate in conducting the trial, and specifically for the allegations received by the concubine. The chief justice has not yet decided anything, but Wu Li Mei has already been detained on the empress' orders. The old man was quite understanding of the disputes between the empress and the concubines in this palace, as it was already a matter of course. Just like the dispute between the Queen Mother and the previous emperor's concubine, Zhou Xing Huan's mother.

"You can't catch me!"

"You can't hold me back!"

"No, without orders from the emperor!!" Yang Jia Li insisted, he knew that the supreme judge would not be able to do anything without the emperor's approval. Because after all, the final decision remained in the hands of the emperor.

The clattering of footsteps of the horses earthy to each other sounded in the arid winter ground, along with it, the gate of the torture hall opened.

Everyone inside turned a blind eye, Emperor Zhou came with Commander Hao and several other soldiers.

The emperor jumped from his beloved jet-black horse, with steady steps he made his way to the court table. Previously, he had briefly glanced at Wu Li Mei. But the woman immediately turned her eyes away.

The Emperor only sighed in silence, knowing that Wu Li Mei might be disappointed because of her silent attitude and doing nothing.

"What's going on here?" ask Emperor Zhou loudly.

Everyone bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Your Majesty. May the Emperor live a thousand years!"

"Rise!" her word.

Emperor Zhou looked at the weeping empress, both hands blocked by the soldiers, as well as Zhou Xing Huan.

"Your Majesty." Yang Jia Li immediately grabbed onto the emperor's arm, he hugged him tightly as he broke into tears. "I'm being accused of a mistake I never made."

"You know for yourself I'm not that bad, I can't possibly do a heinous thing."

"This must be Wu Li Mei!" her accusation, Yang Jia Li glanced sharply at the grand concubine. "She intentionally bestowed her guilt on me."

Raging, the emperor had no interest in retaliating in the slightest. The emperor nodded once at the grand judge, and he headed straight for his throne. The emperor sat down with great dignity, he saw clearly the incredulous expression of his presence.

"Randomize the decision, chief judge!" her word.

The chief justice immediately took his place on the left side of the emperor, as was usual when conducting the trial. The judge will read the verdict that has been made. Yang Jia Li and Zhou Xing Huan were taken to the center of the torture hall courtyard, they sat in a row with Wu Li Mei.

The decision that the judges had made was that Zhou Xing Huan was found guilty of purchasing items smuggled into the palace, namely mercury metal. Yang Jia Li was found guilty of plotting and participating in Zhou Xie Ling's mercury poisoning. And the most important of all was that Wu Li Mei was proven innocent.

"No, this is not true!"

"It must be wrong."

"Your Majesty, this is a false accusation."

Yang Jia Li shouted out like an insolent person. "Please, Your Majesty"

The other case with Yang Jia Li, the

the eastern prince remained silent. The verdict of the supreme judge became a crushing blow to him, he should not need to fall into Yang Jia Li's game. If this is the case, even to defend himself, he is still wrong.

Emperor Zhou exhaled a calm breath, he got up and looked at one by one of the three suspects.

"The judge's verdict is accepted!"

The emperor approved the judge's verdict, meaning Wu Li Mei was released and Zhou Xing Huan and Yang Jia Li would be detained in the prosecutor's department.

"Head of the Prosecutor's Department, hold the Empress and Prince Xing Huan for a while. Immediately conduct further investigations before the next day of trial is carried out." said the emperor.

Yang Jian Zhu inevitably nodded and bowed respectfully, even though he was still only the head of the procuratorate department who was subject to the emperor's orders, "Well, Your Majesty."

Soldiers from the prosecutor's department immediately took Empress Yang and the prince to the prison. Soon the investigation will be carried out, no matter what the outcome will be, and who will be the real suspect.

"No!"

"Deliver!"

"Take me off!" Yang Jia Li thrashed furiously, "I'm innocent, really!"

"Emperor! Don't do this to me, I'm innocent." joked Yang Jia Li.

Emperor Zhou just stared coldly at the departure of the empress, it was the beginning of the retaliation Yang Jia Li received. The emperor stepped foot to approach the beautiful woman with the pale face. Not usually the face looked very sluggish and hollow.

Emperor Zhou bent his knees, in order to align his body with Wu Li Meu. He pulled the grand concubine's chin to look up, when the netra of the two met there was a longing sting wrapped in disappointment in Wu Li Mei's dark bead.

"Let go of the great concubine!" emperor's decree.

The soldiers immediately removed the rope that tied the concubine's hands and feet, leaving a scar of red rash and some to leave wounds. "I'm sorry" said the emperor.

Both of his hands clasped tightly onto Wu Li Mei's cold hand, the man immediately took off his warm coat and he attached it to Wu Li Mei. In this cold air, the concubine was wearing only a thin hanfu.

The emperor's burly hands were raised to caress the concubine's milk-white cheeks, in line with which Wu Li Mei was instantly unsteady. Luckily the emperor was able to quickly capture him.

"Guards, call Physician Zhong immediately!"

"Okay, Your Majesty."

The emperor immediately brought Wu Li Mei's frail body towards the warmer room of the torture hall. It was followed by Commander Hao and several other soldiers.
