Everyone looked at Su Liluo in confusion, especially the supervisor, whose eyes looked as if he had seen a ghost.
He fabricated those rumors to break up the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, and now the person who is trying to stop the Emperor from punishing him and speak up for him is actually the Crown Princess!
Should we say the Crown Princess was too kind and foolish, or that she was just lucky?
The supervisor felt conflicted, even harboring some regret, thinking he shouldn't have fabricated rumors to frame such a good Crown Princess.
But he soon found himself contradicting himself.
Su Liluo glanced at the supervisor and a smirk played on her lips.
She slowly said, "Father, there is no grudge between me and the supervisor, and I have never even met this person before."
He had no reason to say such things to frame me, so my daughter-in-law thought we should interrogate him properly to see who was behind it all.
Interrogation?
Is it the kind of severe torture?
The supervisor immediately broke out in a cold sweat; it would have been better to just lock himself up.
What if I can't handle it later...?
What will happen to his wife, children, and elderly parents?
"What you say makes some sense. Guards, drag the supervisor away for interrogation and torture, and find out who exactly instructed him to frame the Crown Princess like this!"
Emperor Wenjian pondered for a while after hearing this and felt that Su Liluo had indeed suffered some injustice this time, and that an investigation should be conducted for her.
Especially since that Daoist Qingchen said that Su Liluo is a great asset to the Great Liang Dynasty, and if she is good, the Crown Prince is good, and the Great Liang Dynasty is good.
Emperor Wenjian is treating her a little better now.
As for the Regent's demands, he put them aside; no matter how good the Snow Lotus was, it couldn't compare to the Liang Dynasty.
Although he was selfish, he still put the ancestral land first.
Soon enough, someone dragged the supervisor away.
Xiao Churen looked in the direction where the supervisor had disappeared, a cold glint in his eyes. He exchanged a glance with Consort Liu, who was not far from Emperor Wenjian, and gave her a reassuring look.
After the supervisor was taken away, he was interrogated by special interrogators not far from the palace. At first, he naturally refused to confess, only saying that he was confused for a moment and misread the stars.
But after being subjected to torture instruments, he simply couldn't withstand it.
Just as he was about to implicate the King of Chu, the man who was torturing him suddenly revealed the words on his palm.
The left hand holds a "Recognize Xiao" character, and the right hand holds a "Kill Zi" character.
The supervisor immediately understood that this meant he was being asked to identify Prince Xiao, or else his only son would be killed.
Few people know that he was infertile in his early years. Even after he was cured, his health was not very good. He finally had a son at the age of thirty-five. He was the only heir in his family. How could he bear to let him die?
"I'll talk, I'll talk! It was Prince Xiao, Prince Xiao made me do this! Prince Xiao has always harbored resentment towards the Crown Princess, that's why he made me do this!"
"The supervisor shouted."
Soon, the results of the interrogation reached Emperor Wenjian.
"Father, you are innocent! Your son knows nothing about this. Someone must be trying to frame me!"
King Xiao never expected that his mere entertainment would backfire so badly.
Who exactly is trying to frame me?
"The supervisor himself admitted it was you. If you want to deny it, you need to provide evidence!"
Emperor Wenjian looked at Prince Xiao with disappointment.
Since King Xiao returned from his fiefdom and gifted him a large iron ore mine, he had been quite satisfied with his son, King Xiao.
However, as King Xiao continued to encounter misfortunes, he became increasingly disappointed in him.
Especially this time, they actually caused the destruction of their brother's marriage.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I suspect that Prince Xiao resents her because the Crown Princess and Princess Xiao have a good relationship, which allowed Princess Xiao to find out about Prince Xiao's affair, causing trouble for Prince Xiao and his wife."
This wasn't originally a big deal, but Prince Xiao was probably too concerned about Princess Xiao, which led to his momentary lapse in judgment. His intentions weren't bad; he hoped the Emperor wouldn't be too angry.
At this moment, Consort Liu spoke up to offer advice.
Her words, seemingly an explanation for Prince Xiao, actually confirmed the reason why Prince Xiao harmed the Crown Princess.
Looking at their performance, how could Su Liluo and Xiao Ye not know that this was done by the King of Chu, who then framed the King of Xiao?
However, both the King of Chu and the King of Xiao were their enemies, and at this point, they could see that the King of Chu must have made ample preparations.
They couldn't immediately find evidence that the King of Chu had done it, and more importantly, they had no need to clear the name of the King of Xiao.
Xiao Ye glanced at the King of Chu and the King of Xiao with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Since the King of Chu wanted to frame him and profit from the conflict between the snipe and the clam, why not let him play the role of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?
He and Su Liluo exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying a mutual understanding, and neither offered any objection.
King Xiao glanced at Consort Liu with a gloomy look, and instantly understood that today's scheme was originally intended by King Chu to harm the Crown Prince and the others, but the failure was shifted onto him.
It was all his fault for being careless. He always thought it was either the Regent of the Northern Desert who did it or it was a coincidence, but he never expected it was the King of Chu.
Emperor Wenjian was even angrier after hearing Consort Liu's words.
He snorted coldly: "For such a small matter, he held a grudge and went so far as to frame others like this. He really has no magnanimity! No wonder Princess Xiao made a scene with him."
"Prince Xiao, this matter is of great importance, if it weren't for the Crown Princess finding a highly skilled expert, I'm afraid you would have ruined the future of our Great Liang! Guards, seize Prince Xiao and throw him in jail!"
He still needs to think about how to deal with it.
After all, Prince Xiao was also his son; he couldn't be treated the same way he treated the Director of the Imperial Observatory.
"Father, I am innocent! I have no dealings with the Supervisor. You can investigate and you will know the truth!"
King Xiao explained loudly.
Emperor Wenjian had no interest in listening at the moment. He waved his hand impatiently and ordered his men to drag Prince Xiao away.
Xiao Churen and Consort Liu both breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at Su Liluo and the others with slight regret.
I don't know where they found this expert, but he actually made the accurate prediction.
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has never made a mistake in weather forecasting, but this time it did!
God really favors them!
They truly were the biggest obstacle to the King of Chu's ascension to the throne!
Consort Liu gritted her teeth secretly, feeling that she had to put in even more effort.
The more Su Liluo remained unpunished, the more she felt that the Crown Prince was doing so well because Su Liluo was by his side. She even began to believe what the Taoist Qingchen had said.
"The expert the Crown Princess invited is truly remarkable!"
As Su Liluo was leaving the palace, she ran into Xiao Churen, who said sourly.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. It's just that I was a bit luckier than you!"
A mocking smile flashed across Su Liluo's eyes.
The real show is yet to come. Xiao Churen shouldn't think that he can escape forever just because he's escaped for now.
