Chapter 228 What witnesses can she have?
Witness?
What certification?
What witnesses could she have?
A hint of disdain flashed through Ye Zhonglin's heart. Suddenly, he didn't know what he thought of, and his face changed slightly. Could it be... her!
No, it won't.
They are all His Highness's people.
How dare she betray His Highness!
Unless she doesn't want to live anymore.
His Highness promised them that once they completed the mission, he would not only give them a large sum of money, but also give them their freedom.
People with such shameful identities as theirs desire freedom the most.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she will never betray His Highness.
Xie Changning glanced at him indifferently. Are they the only ones who can act?
She has been acting with them for so long, that’s enough!
The witness was brought in soon.
Not someone else.
It was Ye Zhonglin’s sickly mother.
Ye Zhonglin's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, his heart suddenly startled, "Mom, why are you here? But what means did they use to force you?"
He gave a subtle look, the threat clearly evident in his eyes.
He signaled to her to think about His Highness before speaking and not to speak without thinking.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Unexpectedly, his mother just glanced at him lightly, and then knelt directly in front of His Majesty.
In the past, she always walked unsteadily, as if she was about to die.
At this moment, she walked very steadily, and when she opened her mouth, she shocked everyone.
Her voice was gentle, how could she be a middle-aged woman?
It's clearly a young woman!
As soon as she opened her mouth, Ye Zhonglin knew it was over, all over...
She really betrayed His Highness!
How could she have the guts to betray His Highness?
Hearing the voice that was extremely inconsistent with her face, His Majesty immediately narrowed his eyes and stared at her face.
Under the gaze of everyone, the middle-aged woman reached out and tore off the human skin mask on her face.
Under the human skin mask was the face of a young woman. She turned her head and looked at Ye Zhonglin, "He is not Madam Shen's son at all. He used the same disguise as me. Just tear off the human skin mask on his face and you will know it."
For some reason, her voice was a little trembling.
Xie Changning raised her eyebrows slightly. The reason why she was so obedient was all thanks to Yu Bai.
His Majesty gave the order.
Two guards strode forward and tore off the human skin mask on Ye Zhonglin's face, revealing a completely unfamiliar face.
How come there are so many similar people in the world?
"You are indeed not my child. Who told you to disguise yourself like this and deliberately get close to me? Who told you to assassinate the Fourth Prince? And then put the blame on me and my brother?" Xie Changning's eyes were sharp.
She could show her anger, but Xie Xuan couldn't.
He knelt before His Majesty with a look of grievance on his face. "I have only returned from the border a few days ago. This is not the first time I have been framed. I beg Your Majesty to clear my name!"
As he said this, he knocked his head heavily to the ground.
The moment the human skin mask was removed, the fake was taken down.
His Majesty glanced at him, his imperial majesty fully displayed. "Who ordered you to assassinate my son?"
I didn’t expect that even at this time, this fake was still biting Xie Changning and Xie Xuan.
"Your Majesty, all of this was staged by Xie Changning and the Duke of Zhenguo, in order to clear themselves of any involvement after assassinating the Fourth Prince. If it weren't for their instructions, even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare assassinate the Fourth Prince. Your Majesty, please understand."
Xie Changning was in no hurry to explain herself. She glanced at the young woman subtly.
The young woman shuddered, a flash of fear in her eyes. She looked at the fake and said sternly, "You've probably forgotten your identity. You and I are both assassins of the eldest princess. The eldest princess knew that Madam Shen was looking for her child, so she asked someone to find a child in the city who looked a bit like Shen Wenyuan. Then she ordered us to kill the mother and child, disguise ourselves and take their identities, and deliberately approach Madam Shen in order to frame the Duke of Zhenguo and Madam Shen."
The fake's eyes were red with anger. Seeing that he was still trying to argue, the young woman reached out and pulled open his collar. She leaned forward, revealing the very strange pattern on her shoulder.
"All the assassins of the Princess's residence have been branded with this mark since childhood. He has an identical pattern on his right shoulder as I do, which is sufficient proof that he and I are both assassins of Your Highness."
She also didn't want to betray His Highness.
But she was really scared.
She is still frightened until now.
The poison was so terrible that when it took effect, it was like countless poisonous insects gnawing frantically inside her body.
That feeling makes life worse than death.
Your Majesty really did not expect that they were actually the eldest princess's people.
What on earth does his imperial sister want to do that she actually keeps assassins behind his back?
He could deal with the Duke of Zhenguo, but he would never allow her, the eldest princess, to interfere in the matter.
In particular, she dared to order someone to assassinate the Fourth Prince.
What exactly does she want to do?
His Majesty didn't even need to say a word, the guards on the side had already ripped open the fake man's collar.
Sure enough, there was a similar pattern on his shoulder.
The texture of the pattern had long since blended into his skin, and it was obvious at a glance that it was a mark imprinted since childhood.
"It was the eldest princess who ordered someone to frame me. I really don't know how I offended Her Royal Highness the Princess. Her Royal Highness the Princess is so cruel that she wants to kill my family. I beg Your Majesty to help me!" Xie Xuan looked like he was in tears.
Xie Changning also knelt down and begged His Majesty to make the decision.
The brother and sister cried, each one feeling more aggrieved than the other.
The eldest princess's hand stretched so far that it had already touched His Majesty's taboo.
His Majesty immediately sent for the eldest princess to enter the palace.
Before the messenger arrived, the eldest princess received news that His Majesty wanted to summon her to the palace.
Her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Why did the emperor summon her into the palace?
We must quickly deal with the Duke of Zhenguo and that bitch Xie Changning.
Could something have happened?
No matter how powerful she was, she didn't dare to reach out to His Majesty, so she didn't know that the identities of the two assassins she sent out had been exposed, and one of them had betrayed her.
The eldest princess did not dare to delay for a moment, and she immediately went to the palace to meet the emperor.
The moment she stepped into the Xuanzheng Hall, the princess's expression changed slightly. These two idiots were actually exposed...
