Chapter 493 Verification
"Hurry up and tell me!" Everyone's eyes fell on the imperial physician and they urged him.
"When I was treating Princess Yuanxia just now, I seemed to smell a strange fragrance on her body. At that time, I just thought that the fragrance was fascinating and quite pleasant. But now that I think about it carefully, perhaps it was this fragrance that made the tiger go crazy..."
"What nonsense! The incense used by the princess is all from Yuanxia. There has been no abnormality for all these years. How could something go wrong as soon as it arrived in your Daqian?" The Yuanxia envoy shouted angrily.
The imperial physician frowned and said, "I dare not speak rashly, but I do feel that the fragrance can easily make people agitated. Perhaps, we can ask other masters in the imperial hospital to make a judgment."
Without waiting for Emperor Qianwu to speak, many people nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, the fragrance on Princess Yuanxia's body is indeed pleasant, and perhaps there is something else going on..."
"Since the princess wants an explanation, why don't you ask the imperial doctors to take a look?"
Princess Yuanxia was almost out of breath and sneered, "You Daqian people are really going too far!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the imperial physician accompanying Yuan Xia could not help but step forward and whisper something in her ear: "Princess, you do have a different fragrance than before..."
Princess Yuanxia was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips and said nothing. She felt it carefully and seemed to realize something was wrong.
She immediately lowered her head and looked at herself. After a while, she said to the maid beside her, "Axing, check my belt and wristbands for me."
Because she was going to perform the piano, she deliberately chose a gauze skirt with a golden waist belt around her waist, which was about three inches thick. The gold thread outlined on it was like a galaxy of jade belts, and several gorgeous gems were sewn on it.
There are rings and scented beads hanging on one side of the waist belt, which not only make crisp sounds when walking, but also emit a light and elegant fragrance.
The maid carefully checked Princess Yuanxia and found an unfamiliar perfume pill inside her waistband.
"Your Highness..."
Princess Yuanxia stared at the strange incense pill with a frown on her face.
This is not hers, how could it appear on her?
At this moment, the incense pill was only in the maid's hand, and it was emitting a confusing fragrance. The fragrance was sweet and a little pungent, which was definitely not her favorite scent.
The imperial physician of Daqian was standing not far from her. He took a glance and said, "That's the smell. This thing contains herbs such as nepeta and saffron. It will drive wild beasts crazy and into heat..."
"The tiger has been imprisoned for several days and is already irritable. If it is tempted by this smell, it will definitely be difficult to control."
Princess Yuan Xia gritted her teeth and said, "This thing is not mine at all!"
Although she tried to explain, she knew that her explanation was not credible at all.
The things on her are not hers. Who would believe it if I told others about it?
In an instant, she suddenly thought of the palace maid who bumped into her not long ago.
It must be her!
"Someone is plotting against me. A palace maid bumped into me before, and she must have taken the opportunity to hide the perfume pill on me!" Princess Yuanxia gritted her teeth and trembled with anger.
She didn't check it for a while and didn't expect that she was framed.
"Excuse me Princess, what does the palace maid look like?" someone asked.
Princess Yuanxia paused. Her attention was on the tiger at the time, hoping to see a good show. Why would she care about a blind palace maid?
Someone else asked the courtiers and women standing by: "Did anyone of you see anything?"
Most people's attention was focused on the out-of-control tiger. Even if someone really noticed this scene, they would not be stupid enough to stand up and testify for Princess Yuan Xia at this time.
What's more, Qin Xin had been keeping her head down and pretending, so there was no way she would leave any solid evidence for anyone to use.
Emperor Qianwu said in a deep voice: "It seems that what the princess said has no evidence and is not convincing."
The Queen Mother also said: "We Daqian and Yuanxia have always been on good terms, with no grudges or hatred. No one could have expected that the princess would want to compete in controlling beasts with sound, and how could they have planned to harm the princess."
Princess Yuanxia was sweating profusely and felt extremely weak.
She was beginning to feel some pain in her broken arm, and the burning pain made her dare not move even a bit.
"Then may I ask, Your Majesty, since Miss Shen can control animals with music, why did this tiger break out of its cage and go out of control and hurt people after she played the piano?"
Princess Yuan Xia felt that she had no place to vent her hatred. Since she could only hold on to Shen Jingyu, no matter who it was, someone would have to pay the price for her.
Shen Jingyu clenched her fingers tightly. She never expected that she had done this just to show off in front of everyone and win back the impressions of Concubine Jing and the Eighth Prince, but unexpectedly she fell into Princess Yuanxia's scheme and had to take the blame for her.
That’s right, take the blame.
Shen Jingyu was not stupid, so she understood everything now. It was obvious that this was Princess Yuan Xia's own plan. She just didn't know why the tiger would hurt her in the end.
But now that I can control butterflies with my voice, it has become a reason for her to bite me!
"Being able to control a butterfly with sound does not mean that I can control a tiger with sound. If I could really control a tiger, why would I let the tiger hurt my Daqian princess and the Sixth Consort?"
"I understand the princess's feelings, but I never wanted to compete with her from the beginning to the end. It was because the princess tried her best to compete with me that I had to do my best..."
Shen Jingyu was not someone who was easy to deal with either. She knew very well that she could not be held responsible for this crime no matter what. As for how much she could be excused, that would all depend on His Majesty's wishes.
Taking a step back, Shen Jingyu believed that His Majesty and the officials of Daqian would not want her to admit the crime.
So after realizing this, she no longer felt afraid.
Although he no longer felt fear, he was still unwilling to give in.
She thought she could take this opportunity to shine again, but unexpectedly, she was tricked by Princess Yuan Xia in the end.
On the contrary, her younger sister, somehow, could actually control the tiger with the sound of the piano...
I'm afraid everyone knows it now. She, Shen Shuyi, invisibly resolved a difficulty posed by the Yuanxia Kingdom with her extraordinary wisdom.
A fishy smell escaped from Princess Yuan Xia's mouth. In this round, not only did they not gain any benefit, but they were seriously injured!
She couldn't get any handle on the Changning County Lady, and the Shen Jingyu in front of her was so cunning and eloquent!
Emperor Qianwu looked at Princess Yuanxia and said slowly, "If the princess cannot provide evidence, I am afraid that I cannot give her a satisfactory answer based on these statements."
"This happened in Daqian. Shouldn't Your Majesty give an explanation?" Princess Yuanxia trembled all over, obviously a little anxious.
Emperor Qianwu said in a cold voice: "It was the princess who proposed to control the tiger with sound, and the incense pills were also found on the princess. Besides the princess, the tiger also injured the Daqian royal family. What else does the princess have to say!"
Princess Yuanxia's throat tightened, and she was about to say something when she saw Shen Shuyi step forward and said, "Your Majesty, please ask the imperial physician to check the princess's rings, armlets, and bracelets."
