Chapter 89
Seeing the palace maid coming out holding a dagger, Xiao Jiuan snorted mockingly.

In order to accuse Shi Ji Yunkai of the crime and to slap the face of the Yanbei Palace, the emperor really did anything.

It's really graceful for a majestic emperor to frame a woman.

"King Yanbei, do you have something to say?" The young emperor sat on the throne, calm and dignified, not angry.

At this moment, the majesty of the emperor is everywhere.

Xiao Jiu'an did not answer the emperor's words, but adjusted his posture so that Ji Yunkai faced the crowd: "Princess, have you seen this dagger before?"

"No." He could answer without looking at Ji Yunkai.

Not to mention the dagger, she didn't even touch the tiles, okay? The assassination scenes were all directed and acted by Concubine Jing herself.

Ji Yunkai's words fell, and the old mother kneeling on the ground shouted excitedly: "Princess Yanbei is lying, Your Majesty... she is lying, Princess Yanbei used this knife to hurt the concubine."

She personally wounded the empress dowager with a knife, and now she can only survive if she completes what the emperor told her to do.

"Whether I lied or not is not up to you." Ji Yunkai had recovered a little strength at this time, and asked Xiao Jiuan to put her on a chair beside her.

"It's true that what she said doesn't count, and what you say doesn't count, Princess Yanbei, can you prove your innocence?" The emperor said lightly, with an air of notarization.

However, the current situation is very unfavorable to Ji Yunkai, and there are all witnesses and material evidences from Concubine Jing's family.

But Ji Yunkai was not afraid at all: "I can." As long as the emperor is willing to give her a chance, she can prove her innocence.

It's a pity that if Xiao Jiu'an didn't come, the emperor wouldn't even give her a chance.

"Oh, I'll give you a chance. If you can't prove your innocence, I'll hand you over to the Ministry of Punishment." The emperor's words seemed fair, but they were actually unfair.

According to the case handling principles of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, at this time, it is not necessary to prove Ji Yunkai's innocence with evidence, but because there is not enough evidence to prove that it was Ji Yunkai who hurt someone, and Ji Yunkai is innocent.

Obviously, the emperor would not follow the procedures of the Ministry of Punishment, and Ji Yunkai did not expect the emperor to follow the rules.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Ji Yunkai said after thanking the Emperor, pointing to the Nanny who was kneeling on the ground, "Can I ask her a few questions?"

"Yes." The emperor didn't think that Ji Yunkai could change anything by just asking a few words, so he said very generously.

Of course, at this time, he couldn't tolerate being ungenerous. Xiao Jiuan was sitting beside him. Although he didn't say a word, his sense of presence was not weak at all.

Ji Yunkai pressed his heart, and said with a sigh of relief: "How many people have touched that dagger? Have you ever wiped it?"

The old mother was very nervous when she heard that Ji Yunkai wanted to ask questions, but after hearing Ji Yunkai's question, she immediately felt at ease, and said calmly: "If you go back to Princess Yanbei, no one has touched it except slaves. It hasn't been wiped." The dagger was still stained with blood, and if it was said that it had been wiped, no one would believe it.

"Very good." Ji Yunkai smiled in satisfaction, then turned to Xiao Jiu'an and said, "My lord, can I trouble you to get some oil paper and a piece of dough for me?"

"What do you want that thing for?" Xiao Jiuan frowned, quite puzzled.

The emperor also looked at Ji Yunkai and frowned.

"Prove my innocence." No one could frame her for things she hadn't touched.

"Are you sure?" Xiao Jiuan asked.

Ji Yunkai nodded: "Ninety percent." Unless the killer is smart enough to wipe off all the fingerprints, but even if all the fingerprints are wiped off, it will still prove her innocence, won't it?
"Okay." Xiao Jiu'an nodded in response, then turned to look at the emperor: "Your Majesty?"

"Go, get what Princess Yanbei wants." The emperor didn't know what kind of medicine Ji Yun was selling in the gourd, although he wanted to stop it, but Xiao Jiu'an was sitting there, and he couldn't do things too clearly.

The above sentence, the following broke his leg, and after a while, the eunuch took the oil paper and dough out of breath, and presented it to the emperor: "Your Majesty."

The emperor didn't even look at it, so he asked the eunuch to throw the dough to Ji Yunkai: "Princess Yanbei, see if this is what you want."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ji Yunkai didn't touch it, and signaled the eunuch to put it down, and then asked someone to wash his hands with water. He didn't touch the dough during the whole process. He picked up a ball with a bamboo stick and put it on the oiled paper, and then flattened it with the oiled paper. thin, and then show the smooth side to the emperor for viewing.

"Your Majesty, are there any traces on the paper?" Ji Yunkai asked.

"No." I don't know how Ji Yunkai did it, the dough is very smooth without a trace.

"In this case, I will start to prove it." Ji Yunkai signaled the maid to hold the dagger in front of her, picked up the dagger with the pointed end, and then took the oil paper smeared with dough, and covered the handle: "Your Majesty, I never touched the handle of the dagger directly from the beginning to the end."

"Really?" The emperor smiled noncommittally, and a sneer flashed in his eyes.

Did Ji Yunkai say that there is no one?Innocent!

Ji Yunkai knew what the emperor was thinking and didn't care, he just said: "I will prove to the emperor now that I have never touched the handle of this dagger from the beginning to the end."

"How do you prove it?" The emperor could not help but sit up straight, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Ji Yunkai took off the oiled paper covering the handle, unfolded it, and presented it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, look at this paper again, is there any trace?"

Fingerprints have been attached to it, which is very clear.

"This is?" The emperor involuntarily leaned forward, frowning tightly.

Things seemed out of his control.

"This is the fingerprint of the man holding the dagger, that is, the fingerprint of the murderer. To verify the murderer, you only need someone to press a fingerprint." Ji Yunkai sat in his original position without moving, and took another piece of greased paper. After smoothing the dough, press the fingerprints of both hands: "Finding the murderer is not my business, I just need to prove my innocence, the emperor can order someone to compare my fingerprints."

Ji Yunkai continued to let the little eunuch present the oiled paper with fingerprints on the two generals to the emperor. Her eyes were calm, neither humble nor overbearing, neither the pride after fighting back nor the anger after being wronged. She just sat there, calmly, looking straight at the emperor. Your majesty, neither sad nor happy...

However, facing Shang Ji Yun's calm eyes, the emperor was inexplicably irritable, he felt that he was a clown, no matter what he did, it was just a joke in Ji Yunkai's eyes.

"You... are fine!" The emperor exhausted all his strength to prevent himself from losing his composure, and restrained the urge to kick Ji Yunkai away.

Sure enough, it was right not to marry Ji Yunkai, let alone Ji Yunkai's face, Ji Yunkai's character, he would never like it in his life.

He is the emperor, but Ji Yunkai doesn't give him the slightest bit of face, he doesn't take him seriously as the emperor at all!
