Clip: King Su Investigates The Case For Ju Jingyi | The Blooms At RUYI Pavilion EP29 | 如意芳霏 | iQIYI:
Don’t kill me. Don’t kill me. Please, I beg you. Don’t kill me. Thank god you came in the nick of time. Or I’d have been… You’re just a little ornament attendant. Who could’ve wanted you dead? This address was written by Consort Duan. Why would she do this? I was so devoted to her.
At this point, if you don’t tell us the truth, not even His Highness can protect you. Your Highness, my life is in your hands. I’ll tell you everything I know. The handover document. What did you people do to it? As soon as the materials had left the palace’s storehouse, Consort Duan seized it.
Afterward, I used an ink made of citrus and amended the figures on both documents, making it impossible for Concubine Rong to detect the discrepancy. Once she had verified it, I brought the documents back to the palace heated them over a flame, causing the citrus ink to fade.
Then, I wrote the correct figures back on the document. What about Ruyi Pavilion? Since it was a public case, and it involved your concubine, the Emperor would certainly send his men to Ruyi Pavilion to retrieve the document as evidence. That was when Duke Cheng’s lackeys at the bureau made the switch.
And where are the materials that were seized? I don’t know the exact location. But I vaguely heard that the materials was transported by Duke Cheng to Weiyang City in Linzhou. And? Your Highness, I’ve told you everything I know. There’s nothing more. Your Highness, what do you intend to do with me?
