Chapter 919 It's all Qi Yunxi's fault!
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review looked at Qi Junming, who was terrified, with disdain in his eyes.
This kind of person poses no challenge to them at all. Although they stubbornly refuse to admit it, everyone already knows the truth.
He refuses to admit it to this day because he knows that once he does, he will be completely finished.
But his guilty look did not escape their notice, not to mention the people around Qi Junming, who had already been interrogated one by one.
It didn't take much effort at all for these people to reveal everything.
"Your subordinates, including your cronies, have all said that you have long harbored resentment towards Qi Juncheng and have always been jealous of his talent and ability over you."
To steal his beloved, you even cast a love spell on Princess Changping, cruelly separating the lovers!
"The reason you chose to poison him yesterday is because you had an argument and even a fight yesterday, and you felt that he ruined your chance to get together with Princess Changping!"
As the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review spoke of the information he had gathered, he thought to himself, "No wonder the Qi family values Qi Juncheng so much. If the Qi family were to place their hopes on Qi Junming, with his brains like that, they would be completely doomed!"
Murder requires secrecy and stealth.
He committed the murder on the very day the conflict occurred; his motive was so obvious that anyone would suspect him.
"I...I didn't! They're slandering me!"
Qi Junming didn't know how to explain, so he quickly said, "Changping and I are in love with each other. I have no idea what this so-called love curse is."
If you don't believe me, you can bring Changping here; she'll be my witness.
These words amused even King Xiao.
“The Changping Princess’s mansion has already reported this to the authorities, saying that you cast a love spell on her, which is a despicable and vicious act.”
Fortunately, the love spell has been lifted, and she has regained her senses. She won't be controlled by you like before.
"You knew perfectly well that she and your older brother were in love, yet you broke them up. You poisoned her lover to death, and you still think she would testify for you?"
"what?"
Qi Juncheng's expression changed drastically. He had never considered this possibility and could hardly believe it!
When Qi Yunxi gave him the item, she clearly said that it was not simple and that ordinary people could not possibly decipher it.
Changping's performance during this period has proven all of this; how could it have been solved suddenly?
"Qi Juncheng, how dare you! Murdering your own brother and cursing Princess Changping, these two crimes are enough to take your life!" the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review said sternly.
Qi Juncheng's face turned pale, and his expression was terrified. He knew in his heart that since His Highness the Crown Prince and the others knew about this information, the matter had been completely exposed.
He had lost all hope...
Finished!
After learning the news, Qi He realized that it was indeed Qi Junming who did it, and he became dejected.
His son poisoned another son.
With such a thing happening in the mansion, the Qi family has truly become a laughing stock in the entire capital.
He had only two legitimate sons, one of whom died and the other was about to die as well.
"Master, please think of a solution!"
Madam Qi cried all night, her eyes were swollen, and she looked extremely weak.
“Junming was indeed terribly wrong in this matter. Now that Juncheng is dead, we can’t just stand by and watch Junming die too!”
We only have these two sons. If Junming dies too, wouldn't that be the end of me?
She fainted immediately after learning of Qi Juncheng's death, unable to accept that her beloved son had lost his life.
After waking up, she was determined to bring the murderer to justice, but unexpectedly learned that the murderer was most likely Junming, and then she fainted again.
Now she doesn't even have time to grieve for Juncheng; she has to find a way to protect one of her sons first.
Otherwise, she will truly have nothing to rely on when she gets old.
"Now that things have turned out this way, what can I do?"
Qi He's face was grim. "The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review is known for his impartiality, and His Highness the Crown Prince is even more so. I just had a conflict with His Highness the Crown Prince, so he certainly won't let me off easily."
Junming... I'm afraid he won't survive.
As court officials, they were extremely familiar with the laws and regulations, so even if they pleaded for leniency, it would be useless, as this matter also involved Princess Changping.
He had been beaten up by Lord Sun today, so he knew that the Changping Princess's Mansion would never let this go.
Not only that, he also heard that Princess Changping had injured her body because of the love curse and was now extremely weak. All of this had to be blamed on them.
"My God!"
Madam Qi collapsed to the ground and began to cry out in despair.
"Why is God doing this to me! I only have two sons, and now they are both going to die. What's the point of me living?"
"I might as well die too! I don't want to live anymore!"
Seeing his wife start to contemplate suicide, Qi He, feeling annoyed, slapped her across the face.
"Be quiet!"
Madam Qi was stunned by the slap, disbelief flashing in her eyes. "Master, I'm already like this, and you still hit me! Do you wish me dead?"
"Isn't it all your fault that things turned out this way?"
Qi He angrily reprimanded, "When Princess Changping said she liked Junming, I said there was something wrong with it and told you to pay more attention. Junming has always been dishonest, and he has used all his intelligence for crooked ways."
What did you say at the time? You said it had been investigated and there would absolutely be no problem!
"As the mother of both of them, you don't even understand your son's situation, and you still have the nerve to cry!"
Madam Qi covered her slapped face, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.
Qi He did mention this before, but she felt that Juncheng was already outstanding, and there were plenty of girls in the capital willing to marry him. On the contrary, it would not be easy for Junming to find a good marriage.
She was very satisfied with Princess Changping as her daughter-in-law, and she was happy no matter which of her sons she wanted to marry.
Therefore, after learning that Changping liked Junming, she didn't ask any more questions. She only thought that it would be a good thing for the two of them to get married. Who would have thought that it would lead to a disaster!
"I...I really don't know. I've never even heard of love spells, how would I know about them?"
Madam Qi covered her face in anguish, "This is clearly someone trying to harm Junming! Such a vicious method must have been devised by someone who advised Junming!"
Didn't you say Yunxi used this trick to deceive quite a few girls? In my opinion, Yunxi did it on purpose!
"He knew he was an illegitimate son and had no chance of advancement in the family, so he devised this opportunity to sow discord and eliminate the two legitimate sons in one fell swoop, thus giving him, the illegitimate son, the opportunity to take control of the entire family!"
"Master, you must get that scoundrel out of the house! He's a venomous snake; he's trying to kill everyone in our main branch!"
