On the Day When the Golden Palace Was Scapegoated, I Turned over All the Old Cases of the Dynasty

The whole clan forced me to plead guilty to the death penalty for murdering the eldest princess on behalf of my eldest sister in the Golden Palace. My father said: "A concubine's life will bring peace and stability to the whole family of the Marquis. You should be sensible." My sister-in-law cried and begged for mercy on my behalf. The queen wanted to drag me into the inner court for a private trial. I didn't cry out for injustice, I just asked for a short autopsy. After the white cloth was lifted, I said in front of everyone: "This corpse is not the eldest princess. The real eldest princess died three days ago." From that moment on, the perjury of the Hou Mansion, the empty coffin in the East Palace, the Queen's sealing medicine, the severed finger hidden by the Chief Assistant, all the old cases were opened by me. They wanted me to die as a scapegoat. I insist on letting the civil and military officials of the entire court kneel and listen to the corpse speak.
