Chapter 91 Whose Clothes?
After careful examination, Physician Zhang concluded, "The incense burner on the table contains aphrodisiac ingredients, and..."
Physician Zhang hesitated for a moment, then looked at the Crown Prince before finally continuing, "Moreover, this medicine is only effective for men."
Before the words were finished, who among those present did not understand?
Qin Jinghao closed his eyes, but ultimately remained silent.
Now that things have come to this, he can't cover for Jiang Chuchu anymore. He can't very well say that he did it himself; no one in their right mind would believe that.
Therefore, Qin Jinghao remained silent.
Jiang Chuchu stared incredulously at the "evidence" before her, her face filled with disbelief. "No, I didn't do it! Your Highness, I didn't!"
Jiang Chuchu wanted to explain, but she already had a criminal record, and once was enough. No one believed her anymore; they all insisted that she was the one who did it.
"No, I really didn't, Father, Mother!" Seeing that her words were useless, Jiang Chuchu turned to Jiang An and his wife for help.
Jiang An was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he didn't respond. Madam Lu, on the other hand, frowned.
To be honest, she also suspected that Jiang Chuchu did it, but judging from her appearance, it didn't seem fake. It couldn't have been Jiang Qingyue, could it? That would be even more absurd.
Therefore, Lady Lu had a complicated situation and remained silent.
"Father, Mother!" Jiang Chuchu never expected that her parents, who had always doted on her, would choose to stand by and watch this time.
No! She didn't do that; someone framed her!
Thinking of this, Jiang Chuchu looked at another person on the scene, Jiang Qingyue.
Originally, according to his calculations, Jiang Qingyue should be being defiled by a man right now, but why is she here unharmed? And in the end, it is he who is humiliated?
It must be Jiang Qingyue, no doubt about it!
"Jiang Qingyue, it was you, wasn't it? You deliberately framed me!" Jiang Chuchu screamed hysterically, even trying to pull Jiang Qingyue away, but Qin Jinghao blocked her.
Qin Jinghao didn't want to see Jiang Chuchu continue like this. In Jiang Chuchu's eyes, it was Qin Jinghao protecting Jiang Qingyue, which she couldn't accept!
“Your Highness, it really is Jiang Qingyue. She should have been…” Jiang Chuchu suddenly stopped, not daring to continue.
Jiang Qingyue seized the opportunity. "What, what are you trying to say? What was I supposed to do?"
Faced with Jiang Qingyue's questioning, Jiang Chuchu remained silent, only repeatedly saying that Jiang Qingyue had framed her.
The Empress shook her head upon seeing this.
In her eyes, Jiang Qingyue was indeed somewhat clever, but sending her fiancé to another woman's bed? Who could do such a thing?
Therefore, no one believed it.
On the contrary, Jiang Chuchu's hesitant manner suggests that she is hiding something.
"Since you say Jiang Qingyue framed you, then tell me, how did she frame you?"
So Jiang Chuchu recounted in detail how she had met the little eunuch who told her that the Crown Prince had prepared clothes for her and guided her.
"So, it must be Jiang Qingyue who bribed the eunuch to frame me!"
Jiang Chuchu's confident words seemed to make sense.
Qin Jinghao denied that he had asked the eunuch to find Jiang Chuchu.
Upon hearing this, the emperor frowned. The empress immediately ordered all the eunuchs on duty that day to be summoned so that Jiang Chuchu could identify them one by one.
Surprisingly, there wasn't one!
"No...no, is everything here? Is there anything I missed?" Jiang Chuchu did not see the little eunuch who was leading the way.
"Your Majesty, all the eunuchs on duty today are here."
"No, none of them! There must be some missing, there must be some missing! Call all the other eunuchs here!" Jiang Chuchu didn't see what she wanted to see, and her emotions were getting out of control. For a moment, she forgot that this was the palace, not her home, where she could act so arrogantly.
"Jiang Chuchu, are you questioning me?" The emperor's face darkened at this moment.
"Your Majesty, Chu Chu is still too young to understand, Your Majesty..." Jiang An tried to speak up for Jiang Chu Chu, but was interrupted by the emperor, "So old and still so immature? It seems that Minister Jiang has made a mistake in raising her!"
The emperor's pointed remark silenced Jiang An instantly.
"You said a eunuch led the way, but I had him summoned, and now you say no one did. What else do you have to say?"
"No, Your Majesty..." Jiang Chuchu wanted to explain, but seeing the glances from Madam Lu and Jiang An, she paused for a moment, and finally restrained herself, "I..."
Oh, right, clothes!
Jiang Chuchu quickly unfolded her sleeves. "Your Majesty, look at this dress, this fabric, this piece of cloth. I gave this fabric to my sister before the painting appreciation banquet!"
Jiang Chuchu was so immersed in the sweet surprise brought by the Crown Prince that she didn't notice anything amiss with the clothes.
Only now did she realize that this cloth was the very cloth that Jiang Qingyue had once chosen from her hands.
In an instant, everyone's gaze turned to Jiang Qingyue once again.
"Jiang Chuchu, why do you always pin the blame on me no matter what? When did you ever give me cloth? You can't just slander me to clear your own name!"
Jiang Qingyue refused to admit it.
From the moment Jiang Chuchu gave her that piece of cloth, Jiang Qingyue knew that Jiang Chuchu had ill intentions. Later, upon investigation, she discovered that the cloth had been smeared with something that could cause rashes.
Therefore, she had someone make a copy of that piece of cloth overnight and made it into a garment to wear.
What Jiang Chuchu didn't expect at the time was that Jiang Qingyue could paint, which interrupted all her plans. Jiang Chuchu even forgot about that outfit for a moment.
Afterwards, Jiang Qingyue kept it to prevent Jiang Chuchu from using it against her, and now it has come in handy.
Now that you mention it, Qin Jinghao remembered that Jiang Qingyue's clothes at the painting appreciation banquet were indeed exactly the same as the ones Jiang Chuchu was wearing.
"Jiang Qingyue, I have seen your clothes before, and they are indeed the same as this one. What is your explanation?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Qingyue.
Jiang Qingyue remained calm and prepared. She stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, there are only a few colors of cloth in the world. Can you really conclude that this garment was arranged by me to frame Jiang Chuchu based solely on this?"
"Since you say this garment is not yours, how can you prove it?" Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for Jiang Qingyue, the Empress prepared to ask Jiang Qingyue to provide evidence.
"I'll try it on and see if it's my size. Wouldn't that prove it?"
“No, what if you deliberately altered my measurements to frame me?” Jiang Chuchu did not agree with Jiang Qingyue’s statement.
"Then how do you explain the outfit I wore at the painting appreciation banquet? You must know that the cloth Your Highness bestowed was only enough to make one garment, and this cloth was also a material for offerings. I doubt you could find an exact match anywhere else!"
Jiang Qingyue spoke clearly and logically, resolving all the accusations against her one by one, making it seem as if she was indeed clean and uninvolved.
"I..." Jiang Chuchu was speechless for a moment.
The Empress stepped forward. "Your Majesty, if I may be so bold, after hearing this, I must say that this matter is actually quite easy to resolve!"
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to the Empress.
