Chapter 1119 Flaw!
"Of course the murderer is not King Chen, because he was framed!"
On the street, torches reflected on Chu Ning's stern face.
As soon as he opened his mouth, all the kings present were surprised?
Framed?
Why didn't you mention the frame-up at the beginning?
Why did it become a frame-up just because the Jinyiwei came over and whispered a few words?
Could it be that Chu Ning got other clues?
While everyone was in shock, King Chen was overjoyed. He broke free from the two guards who were holding him, stepped forward, took Chu Ning's hand, and said excitedly:
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise. I was framed. That Heartbreak Grass really doesn't belong to me... cough cough..."
Being too excited causes the qi and blood to surge up and causes continuous coughing.
But King Wu was unhappy. He took two steps forward and asked coldly, "Why do you say that, Your Highness?"
Prince Wen also had a serious expression on his face and asked in confusion, "Did His Royal Highness get any other clues?"
Chu Ning nodded calmly: "If there is no clue, how can I dare to draw a conclusion so easily."
"Someone, bring the things up!"
The Jinyiwei who had just come forward immediately took out a bottle of medicine from his arms with a respectful look on his face.
Chu Ning took the medicine, uncorked the bottle and took a look, then opened the bottle of Gelsemium elegans he got from King Chen, compared them, and sneered:
"Zhao Yu, take these two bottles of medicine to show the princes."
Zhao Yu stepped forward and took the two bottles of medicine. He stopped beside each prince for a moment to give them time to compare.
"This... there is also heartbreak grass in this!"
When it was King Wu's turn, he recognized at a glance that the medicine in the bottle behind was also Gelsemium elegans.
He stared at Chu Ning in disbelief and asked, "Prince, where did you get this medicine?"
Chu Ning smiled mysteriously: "I will keep this a secret for a while, and the answer will be revealed in the end."
"Now please take a look at these two bottles of medicine. One bottle is specially labeled with the name of Gastroenterology, and the other one has no label at all."
"The bottle with the Gelsemium elegans paste belongs to Prince Chen, and the one without the paste was obtained by the Royal Guards from another person's house."
"And the reason why the three words 'heartbreak grass' were deliberately written on the bottle of King Chen was to make the person who found it recognize it."
It was said so bluntly that everyone came to their senses.
Deliberately putting a name on a bottle of medicine for fear that others may not recognize it is a frame-up.
King Chen was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, and he kept saying, "The prince is wise, the prince is wise."
He was almost unable to clear himself of the charges, but once the prince took action, he escaped from the frame-up.
At this moment, King Chen was full of admiration for Chu Ning.
But King Wu refused to accept it. With a gloomy face, he questioned: "Prince, this is poison. The name on it is just for easy identification."
"is it?"
Chu Ning was not surprised by King Wu's rebuttal, and asked calmly: "Excuse me, King Wu, when you found this bottle of medicine, were there other medicines around?"
King Wu shook his head.
Chu Ning smiled: "Since there are no other medicines, why write the three words "heartbreak grass" to distinguish them? Isn't it a waste of effort?"
"This..." King Wu was stunned and didn't know how to refute.
If the writing is used to distinguish different medicines, it means that several kinds of medicines are placed together.
But now we have found that there is only this kind of medicine in the secret compartment of Gelsemium elegans, so why is "Gelsemium elegans" written on it to distinguish it?
Upon hearing this, all the princes and nobles at the scene nodded and agreed with Chu Ning's statement.
But the fifteenth prince Chu Xuan was unwilling to accept this and frowned, saying, "I'm afraid this alone won't clear the suspicion on Prince Chen, right?"
"Besides, you haven't said where this bottle of Heartbreak Grass came from."
"Perhaps, there is something wrong with the bottle of Gelsemium elegans you found, Prince?"
In order to prove that King Wu is right, he must let the bottle of pharmacist in Chu Ning's hand come out of nowhere.
If Chu Ning did not reveal the origin of the famous medicine, there would be no way to prove that the bottle of medicine was left behind by King Chen as a deliberate frame-up.
King Wu was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Your Highness the Fifteenth Prince, what you said makes sense. You said that King Chen's bottle was a frame-up, so is it possible that the bottle in your hand was a frame-up?"
Although it is unclear where the heartbreak grass in Chu Ning's hand came from, if one wants to convict King Chen, the heartbreak grass in Chu Ning's hand must be made ineffective!
Even Prince Wen was a little surprised at this moment. He looked at Chu Ning and asked, "Your Highness, what the Fifteenth Prince and Prince Wu said is true. If you want to prove that Prince Chen was framed, this poison alone will not work."
This matter concerns the mastermind behind the scenes, who could also be the person spreading the rumors. If Chu Ning finds out, he will never be able to get the position of Zongzheng.
The other princes also reacted at this moment and echoed, "Your Highness, please tell us the origin of this bottle of Heartbreak Grass."
"Yes, this matter is of great importance. Your Highness, please explain it clearly."
"Yes, what if the origin of this Heartbreak Grass is unknown and the Crown Prince has also been deceived?"
For a time, doubts arose everywhere.
Chu Ning suddenly chuckled when he heard this: "Everyone, do you really want to prove that King Wu is right?"
"If King Wu is right, then the position of Zongzheng may be his."
As soon as this was said, the scene was completely silent.
At this moment, everyone realized that if King Wu was right, King Chen was the mastermind and might also be the one who spread the rumors.
In this way, King Wu passed the test, and the position of Zongzheng fell into King Wu's hands!
Upon seeing this, King Wu hurriedly shouted, "What do you mean, Your Highness? Could it be that this matter could not have been discovered by me?"
"Besides, as you all said just now, this matter is of great importance. If the Crown Prince does not have other evidence, he cannot conclude that Prince Chen was framed."
The fifteenth prince Chu Xuan also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this matter is of great importance. The prince needs to be more cautious and not jump to conclusions easily."
Chu Ning glanced at the two of them, with a playful look on his face: "I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet."
After a pause, he swept his eyes over everyone and chuckled, "Everyone, do you know why I didn't send anyone to stop you from making trouble here in the beginning?"
Everyone was stunned.
Judging from what the prince said, he knew about their actions tonight from the beginning and just deliberately didn't interfere?
Surprised, Chu Ning smiled faintly and said, "Because I need you to make a fuss so that I can send people to secretly search the mansion of the most suspicious person."
"So, from the very beginning, this king has been stalling for time."
"Even now, I am also stalling for time!"
"Because, right now, the Royal Guards are arresting everyone in that man's mansion."
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on one of them.
But King Wu was impatient when he heard this: "Prince, you said so much, but you didn't tell me the name of that person!"
Chu Xuan also looked unconvinced and sneered, "Since all this is a delaying tactic of yours, Prince, why don't you tell us who you suspect and let us see who that person is!"
Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly and pointed at someone.
Everyone looked in the direction Chu Ning pointed, and that person was actually - King Wen!
