Chapter 538 Retribution for Evil(1)_1
On the soft, fragrant grass, Cai Wei lay like Sleeping Beauty, basking in the gentle spring breeze and the faint aroma of flowers and grass while listening to Xiang Yun’s shaky narration.
"Your Highness, it was Princess Helena who tried to steal our roasted rabbit. Princess An Le was upset and got into a dispute with her. Then, somehow, they ended up wrestling with each other, and next thing we knew, Princess An Le was poisoned, and then you all arrived..."
Wu Xiangyun appeared terrified, stuttering and trembling as she spoke, looking like she might faint at any moment.
"Nonsense!"
Helena was furious, she pointed at Xiang Yun’s nose and shouted, "What fight? It was her who pinned me down and attacked me! I never laid a hand on her! Moreover, look at this slut An Le, her face is as fresh as a peach blossom, there’s no sign that she was poisoned at all. It’s clearly a ruse."
After finishing, she turned around indignantly and said loudly, "Brother-in-law, Wu Xiangyun was always in cahoots with An Le. Naturally, she would side with her, so you can’t count her testimony as legitimate. In my opinion, we should restrain this wench An Le first, then we can further interrogate her."
The prince’s concubine, Helen Xue, spoke gently, "Your Highness, I also suggest that we bring both of them face to face and let the imperial physician examine Princess An Le. Once she is awoken, a thorough interrogation will surely bring out the truth."
The prince nodded, "Xue’er is right, someone, call for the imperial physician!"
Helena said, "Wait, we don’t need an imperial physician, I can wake her up myself."
