At this time, everyone present had strange expressions.
Originally, all the evidence pointed to the Empress as the murderer of the princess. However, no one expected that after the autopsy, the imperial doctors and the assistants overturned all the evidence that was unfavorable to the Empress.
Could it be that the imperial doctor and the widowers colluded
There was more than one person who thought so, and many people secretly glanced at Mo Chuan.
There is only one person who can have such great power to make the imperial doctors and widowers give false testimony, and that is the Emperor!
Queen Mother Zhou looked at Mo Chuan coldly.
"Emperor, you have done a good job!"
She had completely turned her anger on Mo Chuan.
Mo Chuan was as calm as ever. Although he saw everyone's doubts about him, his expression remained unchanged.
He said calmly: "If the mother has any doubts about the judgment of the imperial physician and the widower, I have another way."
"What can I do?" Queen Mother Zhou said bitterly.
"Please ask my mother to appoint someone to come and hear this case."
When Queen Mother Zhou heard this, her heart suddenly moved.
Yes, this is a good idea.
I suspected that these imperial doctors were playing tricks on the widows to please the emperor.
But if the person you designate comes to the trial, who dares to lie to your face!
But who should be brought to try this case
Is there any official in this dynasty who doesn't want to flatter the emperor and is upright and honest
Empress Dowager Zhou began to recite the names of court officials one by one in her mind.
The first candidate she thought of was Ning Guogong.
He is also the person she trusts the most.
But she immediately rejected it.
Zhaorong was Ning Guogong's biological daughter. Ning Guogong was extremely pampered towards her. It was precisely because of his pampering that she developed her unruly and willful character.
But no matter how arrogant and unruly his daughter was, she was still his own. Empress Dowager Zhou knew better than anyone how much he loved Zhaorong.
Ning Guogong may not have received the bad news of Zhao Rong's death now. If he knew, Shen Ning would be the first person to be killed.
The Queen Mother Zhou was still having a headache about how to tell Ning Guogong the news, but for now she could still hide it for a while.
Besides Ning Guogong, who else can hear this case
Ye Tingxuan
Another name entered Queen Mother Zhou's mind.
But she immediately shook her head.
Ye Tingxuan is also inappropriate.
Firstly, because he was not in Kyoto, and secondly, he and Shen Yatou were too close.
After the eldest princess learned the news about Shen Ning, she couldn't stay in Kyoto. She was clamoring all day long to go out and travel around the country.
Queen Mother Zhou was originally worried about her going out, but she knew what kind of character her daughter was like, and the more things were blocked, the more she would do it.
If she insists on disagreeing, I'm afraid the eldest princess will have to sneak out of Kyoto.
She had no choice but to agree.
So the eldest princess and Ye Tingxuan traveled around the world with the expert guards arranged by Queen Mother Zhou and Mo Chuan.
But no one knew that on the surface the eldest princess wanted to go sightseeing, but in fact she wanted to visit Shen Ning.
Who would have imagined that Shen Ning would return to Kyoto after she left.
The two people were perfectly separated.
I'm afraid that if the eldest princess knows this news, she will regret it so much that her intestines will turn blue.
Neither Ning Guogong nor Ye Tingxuan are suitable candidates, so who else is there
Suddenly, she thought of a suitable candidate and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Ai family feels that Cheng Qing of Dali Temple is the most suitable person to hear this case."
"Cheng Baiyi?" Mo Chuan asked.
"Yes, it is this person. What does the emperor think?"
Mo Chuan nodded slightly: "My son has no objections. If someone comes, please send Cheng Baiyi to the palace quickly."
