Xiao Ziran is dead anyway.

There is no evidence!

After all, he is a prince consort. If something happens to him, Princess Changping will become a widow, right?

Maybe the emperor is just angry at the moment and is just going through the process. After a few days, the emperor might not ask him about this matter anymore.

He had to find a reason to get through the next few days.

"Xiao Ziran and I only have a good relationship in private. As for the official affairs, I have never conspired with Xiao Ziran. The princess is my wife, and the emperor is our brother. How could I knowingly break the law and collude with others to participate in such an important matter as the imperial examination? Please look into my mind, Your Majesty!"

[Bad dad, don't listen to the bad guy's nonsense]

[Do you know who this Xiao Ziran is? Do you know why the scumbag broke the law knowingly to help Xiao Ziran?]

Why?

Not only the tyrant was curious, but also Princess Changping and Concubine De were very curious.

[This Xiao Ziran is the younger brother of the concubine. The reason why the Xiao siblings were able to quickly gain a foothold in the capital was that the scumbag contributed a lot of money and effort.

Alas, I used my aunt’s dowry to buy property for the Xiao siblings.

This is how Xiao Ziran, who was originally just a thief, suddenly became a handsome young man in the capital.

"Cough cough cough." Princess Changping was so angry that she was a little out of breath.

No wonder!

No wonder A-bao said that the concubine's brother died, and the prince had to go and comfort the concubine...

It turns out that the younger brother was talking about Xiao Ziran.

"Call the doctor quickly!" the tyrant ordered.

The prince rushed forward to take care of her. Changping couldn't die now. If Princess Changping died, his amulet would be gone.

How can he still abuse his power in the capital city by relying on his status as a royal concubine?

He still has a son and Liangliang to support, so Changping must at least live until his son reaches adulthood before he dies.

"Brother, that's not necessary." Princess Changping's mood gradually calmed down. "Prince, I'll ask you one last time, who is Xiao Ziran?"

Before, Shangguan Ze had actually brought Xiao Ziran to his house many times.

No wonder Xiao Ziran always smiles every time he sees me.

It turns out that he is blatantly making fun of her for being stupid.

The prince was having an affair with his sister, but she was still like a fool and thought that the prince only loved her.

"I am just an ordinary friend, ma'am. You must believe me. Everything I say to you is true."

"Really? Can you swear to God that you have never lied to me in all these years of marriage?"

Shangguan Ze was also a man of action. He immediately ran out of the door, raised three fingers and swore to the sky.

"God, I, Shangguan Ze, swear to God now that in my life, there is only Princess Changping in my heart. Whether before or after marriage, I am devoted to her and I am consistent in my words and deeds.

She is the treasure in my heart, the love of my heart, and I have never concealed or deceived her about anything.

If I say anything against your will, let me be hit by a carriage when I go out, or be struck by lightning when I stand!"

Po's little fingers tangled around and around, and a cluster of spiritual energy shot from his fingertips into the sky.

I heard a loud rumbling sound, and the sky became overcast, the weather was going to change!

Shangguan Ze, who was raising his hand to swear an oath, said: "?"

no.

Is this movement... thunder?

"Crack"

A bolt of thunder struck, and Shangguan Ze immediately screamed, "Ahhhh!"

He dodged to the side, but was still struck by lightning, which singed his hair and made it stand up.

My butt is on fire too.

Shangguan Ze went crazy, "Princess, Princess, help me."

Shangguan Ze was jumping back and forth in front of the door like a monkey.

He simply lay down on the ground, rolling back and forth, and still howling.

After struggling for a while, I finally put out the fire in my body.

But the hair that was standing up couldn't come down.

Tyrant: “…”

If you tell a lie, you will be struck by lightning.

Defei finally opened her eyes and became more indignant for the princess. She wanted to break up this scumbag who was living off her for free.

Princess Changping, on the other hand, was extremely nervous.

Shangguan Ze struggled to get up and crawled towards Princess Changping, "Ping'er, this is an accident, don't think too much about it. I swear, I never lied to you..."

With the emperor around, Shangguan Ze would never dare to quarrel with Changping and could only use soft and hard tactics as usual.

Changping is the most susceptible to this.

[Auntie, don’t believe in scumbags, they are liars! Big liars! ]

[The scumbag wants to use you as a talisman, chop him up! 】

Po was sitting on the table, playing with a fat cup in his hands.

"Pah"

A Bao threw it down with all his might, and it hit the head of the kneeling horse directly.

Po chuckled happily: "Hit...hit..."

Beat this scumbag to death!

Since Po came into this world, he has never hated a man so much.

Monogamy is not realistic in this world, and it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines in this dynasty.

But the young horse is different.

He could just get a divorce, part ways amicably, get married separately, and have nothing to do with each other.

But Lao Ma just wanted to take advantage of my aunt and lied to her about finding women outside. Who else should I punish if not him?

Changping picked up Abao distressedly, "My dear Abao, are you venting your anger for your aunt?"

The young man covered his head, angry but not daring to speak.

She's the little princess. Not to mention hitting her with a cup, even if you hit her with a stone, she will have to bear it.

Princess Changping stared at the prince coldly, "You swore that you would be struck by lightning, does your oath still count? Even God doesn't believe you, how can I believe you?"

Princess Changping was almost angry to death.

These years, she has been like a fool, believing whatever Shangguan Ze says.

Never doubted him.

In the past, whenever Shangguan Ze was short of money, he would just talk to her softly in front of her and she would relax.

The two have not had an argument for many years and their relationship has always been very stable.

Only now did she realize that this was not a stable relationship at all, but a kind of stability that Shangguan Ze had deceived her into believing.

Shangguan Zeqian stared. Why didn’t his tricks work on Changping today?

Princess Changping looked at the tyrant who was about to explode with anger, "Since my brother suspects that my son Ma is related to the imperial examination, please investigate it thoroughly! Clear my son Ma's name."

Shangguan Ze: “???”

clean?

How can he be innocent?

The tyrant had been unable to endure it any longer, so he kicked Shangguan Ze and said, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If the evidence is conclusive, Shangguan Ze is really involved in this matter..."

Changping bowed and said, "The country has its own laws. My brother can handle this matter impartially. You don't need to worry about Changping."

…

On the way back to the palace, the tyrant sat in the carriage, his breathing became much heavier due to anger.

"Shangguan Ze is such a piece of shit!"

To have Xiao Ziran as his backer only proves that he has a bad character and is not careful in choosing friends.

But it really didn't rise to the point where one would be thrown into jail.

As an emperor, you cannot just rely on suspicion to do things, you must have evidence for everything.

But if Shangguan Ze was involved in the imperial examination scandal, that would be a different matter. He would have every right to kill Shangguan Ze.
