Long Live the Empress

Chapter 282 The truth comes to light

Yue Jinghao also has some understanding of the prince. It is said that people are inherently good, but being born into the royal family and growing up in intrigue and deception, even the kindest heart will become suspicious... And the prince is a child of destiny, and his state of mind is even more different from that of ordinary people...

"I am a princess personally appointed by the emperor, and also the daughter of the eldest princess. Do you mean that the emperor and the eldest princess are blind and can't see that a weak woman like me can have such a rebellious heart?" Yue Jinghao asked sharply.

How could the maid answer? If she answered yes, wouldn't that mean she was asking for her head to be chopped off? If she said no, then what she said about Yue Jinghao before was a false accusation! She didn't know how to respond, so she could only bite her lower lip tightly.

"Crown Prince!" Yue Jinghao bowed and said, "This maidservant said that I have a rebellious heart. I will never swallow my anger! Please come to the palace with me, and let's make it clear in front of the emperor and the eldest princess!"

The prince's eyes flickered over Yue Jinghao, "I know the type of person Princess Jing'an is best! Stop talking nonsense! Also, I saw it clearly just now. It was you who wanted to hit her with the club, but you didn't hold it firmly, so the club hit Aunt Yue!"

Fan Huarong didn't expect that the prince saw her tricks, and said in panic: "Prince, please understand! How dare I hit the princess, it's really... wuwu..."

Fan Huarong wiped her tears with her scratched hands while speaking, "Prince, I am really...really wronged... wuwu"

Now even Agate could see that Fan Huarong was trying to gain the prince's trust by using a self-torture tactic. "The wound on Aunt Fan's hand is really serious! If it weren't for her sharp nails, she wouldn't have scratched it like this! Just look at our princess's nails, and everything will be clear, right?"

After saying this, Yue Jinghao gave Manou a look that said "you are so smart", which made Manou very proud.

Fan Huarong was hoping for the best. She thought: noble ladies are used to taking good care of their hands. In order to make their fingers look slender and slim, they usually grow long and pointed nails! Yue Jinghao should be no exception!

The prince nodded, and Yue Jinghao stretched out his hands and flipped them up and down several times.

Yue Jinghao's hands are very beautiful, a rare kind of hands! They are slender, yet plump and white, with short, flat nails that are shimmering, soft and pearly.

The prince couldn't help but think, if these little hands gently stroked his face...

After Yue Jinghao finished showing it to the prince, she stretched out her hand in front of Fan Huarong. Fan Huarong lost his temper after just one look and slumped to the ground.

Yue Jinghao took advantage of Fan Huarong's inattention and grabbed her wrist fiercely, "Your Highness, we can actually tell who committed the murder by looking at Aunt Fan's injuries!"

"Oh? Princess, tell me about it!" The prince said, waking up from his fantasy.

"If someone else scratched you, the wound would be wide inside and narrow outside, deep inside and shallow outside because of the different points of force! But when I saw Aunt Fan's wound, it was clearly narrow inside and wide outside, shallow inside and deep outside, which means...she scratched herself!" Yue Jinghao raised Fan Huarong's arm high, and the prince nodded after looking at it carefully.

"It is exactly as the princess said!"

"There's more!" Yue Jinghao let go of Fan Huarong and ignored her struggle to grab her other hand, "Prince, please look!"

Manju got closer and exclaimed, "Oh my God, Aunt Fan, you are so cruel to yourself!"

The prince also saw that there was a large piece of bloody flesh between three of Fan Huarong's fingernails.

When Fan Huarong saw that the truth had been revealed, she cried and begged, "Prince, it was all...it was all because of my confusion that I was bewitched by that lowly maid..."

As he said this, Fan Huarong slapped the maid in the face, "Bitch! I let you come up with random ideas and frame the princess. What on earth do you have in mind? I'm going to beat you to death! I give your parents money on time every month, and this is how you repay me? I'm going to beat you to death!"

The maid understood the meaning behind Fan Huarong's words. She wanted her to take responsibility for the matter, and her parents would also receive a sum of money every month.

The maid gritted her teeth, knelt down and crawled in front of the prince, saying, "Your Highness, this is all my fault! It was my idea, and it has nothing to do with the aunt. Please punish me, Your Highness!"
