Upon seeing the crowd’s looks, Su Ruoqi and her sister hid their line of sight and looked down at the floor quietly. However, they swore unitedly in their hearts that they must convict Sun Ruoxi of a death penalty today, no matter what.
Towards their hatred for Su Ruoxi, the two sisters had a chemistry that did not require any words, as they were both destroyed by Su Ruoxi.
After standing around for half a day and not seeing the so-called Master Physician Bai arrive, she looked at the two officials standing aside and directly took out a chair from the realm and sat down.
Upon seeing that, Su Yuntian’s face immediately blackened. Where did she think she was? Did she not know that she was currently a criminal?
“How dare you? It’s illogical for a criminal to sit down in court!” Chancellor Lin took the chance and questioned her.
“Criminal? What evidence do you have to prove that I’m a criminal? Besides, it’s your business if you like to stand. As a lady, I just don’t like standing,” said Su Ruoxi coldly.
After she finished her sentence, she took out a spiritual fruit directly from her ring and started eating it. Her posture and behavior did not look like a criminal at all, and she looked as if she came to court to watch a commotion…
A while later, a shout came from outside, “Master Physician Bai is here!”
As the voice faded away, a man in white walked in. Su Ruoxi looked over and saw that the man was decked in white with golden clouds embroidered at the sleeves of his robe, and he had a jade pendant tied to his waist. The craftsmanship of the jade was extremely exquisite and with one look, she could tell that his outfit was exorbitant.
His tied-up hair was set in place by a golden crown, and the crown was decorated with rubies, making it look even more extravagant.
One look at him, one could tell that the man in white was a very wealthy young master. Upon closer inspection, he had pearly white skin, curly eyelashes, bright eyes, and his entire person was exuding a handsome and lively aura.
The first impression he gave others was a very comfortable one and one that could not be hated. While Su Ruoxi was sizing Bai Zhe up, Bai Zhe also looked at her curiously.
The woman was decked in a bright red palace costume, and without mentioning the fact that she was sitting casually in this solemn court, she was even munching on spiritual fruits. No matter how he saw it, this scene was still very strange…
The rarest thing was that this woman was the most beautiful one he had seen in his entire life, even the top beauty of Heavenly Phoenix could not be compared to her.
Was this gorgeous woman really the trash that was missing from Prince Su’s mansion for many years? Bai Zhe suspected in his heart because he had not seen the real Su Zhe after all.
Looking at Su Ruoxi’s seemingly smiling gaze, Bai Zhe then realized that he had been staring at her for quite some time. Then, he awkwardly nodded, as he lowered his head and said, “Greetings, Your Majesty!”
Bai Zhe did not kneel down. His identity and capabilities were obvious, and a mere emperor was not enough to cause him to go down on his knees. Even though Su Yuntian was slightly displeased, he did not show it.
“Master Physician Bai, no need for such formalities. Today, I’ve asked you to come here to help investigate the murder of the Crown Prince.” Su Yuntian smiled and said.
“Emperor, you’re too polite.” Bai Zhe replied with manners.
“Imperial Doctor Lin!” Su Yuntian yelled.
“At your service. Master Physician Bai, this is the blood sample I drew from the sisters of the Su family last night. These two ladies are the missies of the Su’s mansion,” said Imperial Doctor Lin as he passed a porcelain bottle over and pointed at Su Ruoqi and Su Ruolin, who had been kneeling on the floor.
“Mm, let me take a look at it.” Bai Zhe took over the porcelain bottle and after opening it to take a whiff and looking at the color of the blood, his brows knitted slightly.
Then, he walked over to Su Ruoqi and Su Ruolin. He took out a handkerchief to wrap his hand and took the pulse readings of Su Ruoqi and Su Ruolin respectively.
However, as time passed, Bai Zhe’s brows became increasingly knitted. At the very start when the palace’s eunuchs called him over, he only wanted to come to join in the commotion.
Now, he was genuinely interested in the poison in Su Ruoqi and Su Ruolin’s bodies, as this was something that even he had not seen before…
Besides, in his opinion, this type of drug was not venomous at all, but it still was a slight bit poisonous, which confused him momentarily. What exactly was going on?
After some time, Bai Zhe stood up slightly and said toward Su Yuntian on the main seat, “Your Majesty, other than the strong spring poison in the two missies’ bodies, there aren’t any other poison.”
“What? How is this possible?” Su Yuntian was shocked.
“Master Physician Bai, what do you mean?” Imperial Doctor Lin asked uncertainly.
“Yes, I believe Imperial Doctor Lin could also tell.” Bai Zhe smiled slightly.
“Yes, but the chancellor kept insisting that Eldest Miss was being controlled, so I wasn’t sure…” Imperial Doctor Lin said with a sigh.
When he was checking their bodies the night before, he had noticed that there was indeed another drug in their bodies other than the strong spring drug, but it was not poison. However, Chancellor Lin kept insisting that Eldest Miss was being controlled, so he suspected that it might be a type of poison he had not seen before.
Upon hearing Bai Zhe’s words, Imperial Doctor Lin finally knew that he did not diagnose wrongly.
However, Su Yuntian’s face darkened upon hearing what he said. He looked at Su Ruoxi, who seemed as though she was watching a show, and his gaze toward Chancellor Lin was filled with even more displeasure.
“Emperor, I was really forced! My youngest sister forced me to do it!” Upon hearing Bai Zhe’s words, Su Ruoqi immediately cried out loud.
“That’s right, Emperor! Please serve us justice! Older sister was really forced by her. If it was not for her, why would older sister appear in the bridal chamber…?” Su Ruolin backed her up.
“Then, explain how exactly did she force you two?” Su Yuntian asked with his brows tightly knitted.
“Emperor, Su Ruoxi suddenly returned to the Prince’s mansion a few days ago…” One after another, Su Ruoqi and Su Ruolin directly described Su Ruoxi to be a sinister woman.
Su Ruoxi looked at the duo’s hard-working performance in amusement. It was a pity that they did not go into acting. If they were born in modern times, they would definitely be famous female side characters.
Upon hearing this, Su Yuntian looked at Su Ruoxi and asked, “Su Ruoxi, do you have anything else to add?”
“Emperor, what else do you want me to say? Are you just going to take their words for the truth? I think quite a few people had seen how the Crown Prince had died. I really don’t know why you’re just ignoring the truth, and you even asked me what else I have to say? I want to ask you in return, what is the meaning of ‘justice’?” Su Yuntian stood up and asked Emperor Su Yuntian sarcastically.
“Emperor, that’s not true! I didn’t kill the Crown Prince. I was controlled by her, that’s why I killed the Crown Prince by mistake! It was her! She was the one who poisoned us, so I…” Su Ruoqi immediately bawled.
