Chapter 132 Bringing Witnesses

Jiang Yue glanced at the faces of the emperor and the queen mother, and finally looked at Su Mei who was sitting nervously beside her.

Within a moment, Chu Nanxiao, dressed in a prison uniform and with iron chains on his hands, appeared in everyone's sight.

"Kneel down!" Seeing that Chu Nanxiao's back was straight and his cold face only made Cao Gongyi frightened, he patted the gavel again to boost his momentum.

The two yamen servants standing beside Chu Nanxiao looked at each other, but the adults had spoken, so they had no choice but to do it, but no matter how hard they pressed, they couldn't knock him down.

Chu Nanxiao twitched the corners of his mouth, wondering if it was Jiang Yue's illusion, but he actually saw ridicule and disdain in the man's eyes.

Seeing this, the emperor still said, "After all, Nan Xiao is my third brother, so let him stand!"

With the emperor's approval, Cao Gongyi wiped the cold sweat off his brow, but he also heaved a sigh of relief, "Yes!"

"The hall is the third prince, Chu Nanxiao." Cao Gongyi spoke again.

But after saying this, the air was silent for a moment, and he finally realized that something was wrong, and said straight to the point.

"... Recently, someone sued the Third Prince for murdering the current crown prince, which is an unforgivable crime. Third Prince, can you plead guilty?"

Chu Nanxiao sneered, "This matter has nothing to do with this king, why should this king plead guilty, this king is not guilty!!!"

His attitude immediately made the courtroom noisy.

Someone said, "I believe the Third Prince would not do such a thing, he is the God of War in our Tianyue Kingdom."

Some people also said, "Who knows, he is now very powerful, maybe he has already had a heart of disobedience..."

"Shhh, don't talk nonsense about this, the Holy Majesty is right there!"

Su Mei, who was sitting next to Jiang Yue, was a little anxious, but she could still keep calm, but her palms were already wet with cold sweat.

Chu Nanxiao even managed to give her a comforting look.

The corners of Jiang Yue's mouth twitched. Although she wasn't worried that something would happen to Chu Nanxiao, seeing the scene in front of her, she still felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but slander her.

This Su Mei and Luo Qingyou have rolled together, the child in the hostess' stomach does not know whose, if it is not Chu Nanxiao's, then the fun will be great.

However, these two are the male and female protagonists, so there should be no such bloody plots!

If possible, she really wanted to replace Chu Nanxiao's face that was exactly the same as Sheng Haoze's.

"The evidence is convincing, so why should the third prince struggle in vain." Cao Gongyi sighed.

"The evidence is convincing?" Chu Nanxiao seemed to have heard some funny joke, "In that case, Mr. Cao might as well show the evidence."

Hearing this, Cao Gongyi patted the gavel, "Present the evidence."

As soon as he finished speaking, a yamen servant came up with a tray, on which was the dagger that Chu Nanxiao had seen before.

Cao Gongyi said, "The scar on the crown prince's neck is consistent with this dagger, and it has been verified that this dagger is indeed Wang Ye's property. Wang Ye, what can you say?"

"This dagger has been lost for some time, what if someone intentionally kills the crown prince with the dagger and blames this king?" Chu Nanxiao was very clear.

"In this way, Master Cao still thinks this is evidence?"

"Oh?" Cao Gongyi said, "Lost it? But the news I got is different from what the prince said. According to the servants in the mansion, I saw you playing with this thing a few days ago."

Chu Nanxiao frowned, "Since that's the case, I would like to hear from this person himself."

"Bring witnesses!" Cao Gongyi was obviously well prepared.

A moment later, a woman dressed as a servant girl appeared in the courtroom.

This person, Jiang Yue bit her lips, was exactly what Chu Huafeng said earlier, the maid Wang Xiaocui who brought the oleander into the palace, she was originally a person close to the Queen Mother.

And Chu Nanxiao obviously realized something.

Cao Gongyi, "Who is in the audience?"

The servant girl fell to her knees in fear, not daring to look at Chu Nanxiao who was standing next to her, she put her hands on the ground, her forehead resting on the back of her hands.

"Hui...Master Hui...Slave...Slave Wang Xiaocui...is a maid in Pingnan Palace."

Cao Gongyi threw the dagger in Wang Xiaocui's hand, and a majestic voice sounded, "Have you seen this dagger before?"

The servant girl glanced at it, and immediately replied, "See... I've seen..."

It was said that the air pressure around Chu Nanxiao's body was getting lower and lower, until Wang Xiaocui couldn't breathe, but thinking of the Queen Mother's threat, he could only hide his inner fear deeply.

Cao Gongyi, "When did you meet?"

"Just a few days ago!"

"When was a few days ago?" Chu Huafeng sneered.

Hearing the prince's voice, Chu Nanxiao lowered his head, "The prince was making bamboo flutes in the courtyard that day, and he used this dagger. The slaves happened to see it when they passed by."

Jiang Yue smacked her lips. He remembered that Chu Nanxiao did make a bamboo flute for Su Mei one day, and it looked very good.

"Absurd, this dagger was not used by this king at all that day." Chu Nanxiao shook his sleeve angrily.

Wang Xiaocui was frightened by his sound, she cried and said, "Perhaps the slaves have misunderstood, and the rest of the palace must..."

"Needless to say." Cao Gongyi interrupted her, and came to a conclusion in a disguised form, "This dagger is the prince's favorite thing, how could you misunderstand it!"

Jiang Yue knew that Chu Nanxiao's matter of not throwing away the dagger was firmly implemented, and it was useless to explain it, after all, it was just a dagger, who would pay attention to its appearance!
Besides, even if someone in the palace is willing to prove it to Chu Nanxiao, no one will believe it!

However, before she finished thinking about it, Su Mei gritted her teeth and raised her hand, "I have something to say."

"You?" Cao Gongyi glanced at her, leading everyone to focus on her.

Jiang Yue patted her head speechlessly, already understanding what the other party wanted to say.

Sure enough, the next moment, Su Mei said, "Nan Xiao made that bamboo flute for me. I saw it with my own eyes. He used another dagger."

Unfortunately, what she said didn't work at all. Cao Gongyi didn't appreciate it, and even said sarcastically, "My lord knows that you are anxious to defend your husband, but you can't tell this lie."

"After all, as a relative, we have never known how true or false your words are."

"But..." Su Mei wanted to say something else.

There was no other way, so Jiang Yue had no choice but to stretch out her hand to pull her back. In front of outsiders, as the mistress of the palace, she still had to do some superficial work.

"Sister, don't talk about it. As relatives, we really can't provide evidence for the prince." She shook her head.

Su Mei's eyes were a little red, "The prince really didn't use that dagger!"

"I know!" This time, Jiang Yue did not refute him.

Cao Gongyi repeated what he said before, "My lord, what else do you have to say this time?"

Chu Nanxiao turned his head to look at Jiang Yue, then turned his head, "Also, even if the dagger was not lost, how can Mr. Cao prove that the prince was killed by this king?"

"Since the third prince wants the truth, my lord will give it to you. Come and bring witnesses."

The yamen servant at the door shouted, "Bring one witness one by one"

Not long after, a sloppy beggar came to the court. Not only were his clothes dirty, his face couldn't be seen from its original appearance, and his whole body exuded a strange smell.

Everyone in the courtroom unconsciously covered their mouths and noses.

Someone else said, "Who is this, who dares to bring it before the Holy One."

"Stop talking, didn't you say anything without seeing the emperor?"
