Chapter 729 - 603: A Truly Satisfying Outcome (Part 3)
With legitimate reasons, based on facts, fairness and justice!The civil servants and military generals secretly admired such a patriotic and people-oriented spirit. She truly deserves to be the Eldest Princess of Great Liang!
Prince Jin’s mouth twitched violently: "Even if their interrogation was too hasty, Aunt, there’s no reason to kill your own nephew!"
The Eldest Princess fully released her aura: "I must correct you. Their actions were not just hasty; it was a blatant violation of the law!"
Prince Jin clenched his fists.
The Eldest Princess took a few steps forward and stood in front of Prince Jin: "Moreover, the one who killed Prince Rui was King Qi. I merely wanted them to reveal who the mastermind was. As they shifted blame between each other, King Qi, in a fit of rage, killed Prince Rui with a sword."
"I have heard that King Qi, spoiled by you, his elder brother, acts with impunity and often disregards other brothers except you. I didn’t believe it before, thinking it was an exaggeration. But witnessing it today, I am truly disappointed!"
"An elder brother is like a father; for a younger brother to commit such an abominable act, you cannot escape responsibility!"
Her words were eloquent and impeccable, each word aimed at the heart.
Prince Jin was infuriated.hinks that’s all there is, it’s too naive.
The Eldest Princess asked seemingly absentmindedly: "Ah, good nephew, do you think someone imprisoned the Emperor but deliberately framed the Miao King?"
Prince Jin’s face changed, cold sweat broke out on his back.
He said with a forced smile: "Aunt really loves to joke."
The Eldest Princess laughed: "So you know I’m joking, then why... did your expression change?"
Prince Jin ignored her retort, remaining expressionless as he returned to the main topic: "If the Miao King was framed, why didn’t he show up to prove his innocence, instead of hiding like a turtle?"
These words were both a question and a probe.
If the Eldest Princess mentioned that perhaps the Miao King was also captured, Prince Jin could almost be certain that the secret of the underground palace had been leaked.
The Eldest Princess gave him a deep look and laughed mockingly: "Even the Crown Prince was coerced into confessing, let alone the Miao King in such a tense situation? If the Miao King shows up, is he just waiting to be killed by you all? Good nephew, have you been Regent for so long that you’ve lost touch with basic humanity?"
In the second encounter between Prince Jin and the Eldest Princess, he once again fell to the disadvantage.
In just half a day.
The prestige he painstakingly established was half destroyed by the Eldest Princess.
"I’m going into the palace to visit my sister-in-law now. Good nephew, make way, please."
The Eldest Princess said with sheer authority, walking past Prince Jin without looking sideways.
As they brushed past each other, Prince Jin coldly asked: "Who are you really!"
The Eldest Princess stopped, her mouth curving slightly, and said indifferently: "I’m your own aunt."
She, like a phoenix spreading its wings, majestically entered the Imperial Palace.
The eunuch behind her announced loudly: "The Eldest Princess returns to the palace—"
