The emperor opened the box and found a stack of letters inside. Some of them were secretly exchanged between Prince Li and his ministers, and the following letters were between Prince Li and the King of the North.
King Li was panicked, because the box was filled with letters between him and the King of the North, as well as letters from ministers in the court who supported him.
After the emperor opened the letter and read it, he was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead and he was gasping for breath.
Feng Jiu was afraid that the emperor would faint from anger, so she took out a heart-protecting pill from her space and quickly signaled her father to hand it to the emperor.
Feng Laosi gave the pill to Chen Sanqiang. Chen Sanqiang patted the emperor's back and poured him a cup of tea. The emperor then swallowed the pill in one gulp and drank the tea in the cup.
The emperor looked at the letter in his hand. Xiao Shujin's arrest and Prince Chen's hunting were all the work of Prince Li and the Northern Territory.
He underestimated his son and actually colluded with the enemy country to kill his own brother. The emperor threw the letter in front of Prince Li.
"Rebellious son, you still refuse to admit it. Look at what you have done. You colluded with the enemy to kidnap the general, assassinate Prince Chen, and form a clique for personal gain. Is there anything else you can't do?"
Prince Li knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. This was definitely done by the Crown Prince. He was afraid that I would take his throne, so he teamed up with the Anping Marquis's family to frame me. First, they harmed my grandfather's family, and now they are framing me again. Your Majesty, please understand."
Prince Li knelt on the ground and cried heart-wrenchingly. Everyone present was speechless as they saw that Prince Li refused to admit it.
Fengjiu took out a truth pill from the space and gave it to the prince. The prince looked at the emperor, and the emperor signaled the guards to give it to him.
The two guards pried open the mouth of King Li, who was kneeling on the ground, and stuffed the pill directly into his mouth.
The pill melted in his mouth. Before King Li could spit it out, the pill had already melted into his throat.
After waiting for a cup of tea, the emperor asked, "When did you collude with the King of the North?"
Prince Li laughed at this moment: "Hahaha, hahaha, how exactly am I inferior to the Crown Prince? Is it just because he was born to the woman you love most? I have already joined forces with the King of the Northern Territory three years ago. It won't be long before the King of the Northern Territory leads his troops to attack. With our internal and external cooperation, Nanli will be mine sooner or later, hahahahahahahahaha."
The emperor was so angry that he kept cursing: "You bastard, you don't even know that you are being used as a pawn by others. You are so brainless, what qualifications do you have to sit on the throne of the crown prince?"
"Hahaha, I'm not qualified, but the Crown Prince is? If the Crown Prince hadn't teamed up with Marquis Anping to kill my grandfather's family, I wouldn't be in such a passive position. My grandfather has already discussed with the King of the Northern Territory that once the Northern Territory invades Nanli, I will let the King inherit the throne. When that happens, the King will definitely make you suffer a fate worse than death, hahahaha."
The emperor didn't bother asking any more questions and issued an edict directly: "Prince Li, Nangong Beili, and former Prime Minister Lan Yanfei are colluding with the enemy and betraying the country. Their title is revoked, they are demoted to a commoner, punished with 100 strokes of the cane, and confined to the clan office for life. Lan Yanfei's property is confiscated and his entire clan is exterminated. Lan Yanfei is sentenced to death."
The commander of the Imperial Guards received the order and led his men out of the palace to arrest the nine members of the Lan family. Prince Li was also imprisoned in the clan residence.
When Prince Li was dragged away, he was still laughing, muttering that he was the emperor and that he wanted to kill the entire royal family.
The emperor's face flushed with anger, and the prince stepped forward to comfort him: "Father, please don't be angry. Since he has been imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court, this matter is over."
The emperor thought of Nangong Die who was still recuperating in the villa, and sent secret guards to check whether Nangong Die knew what Prince Li had done. If she knew, then this daughter could not be kept either.
The emperor asked the prince to make arrangements for the people who were taken abducted by Prince Li and to give them more compensation and comfort them.
Before the emperor could finish his words, a young eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, several women the Crown Prince brought into the palace have committed suicide."
The Crown Prince and the people from the Imperial Study hurried to the palace where they were, and Feng Jiu was also carried along by Feng Lao Si.
At this time, four girls were lying in the side hall, with a circle of bruises on their necks. The imperial physician said that they were no longer breathing.
Fengjiu asked her father to put her down. She touched the necks of several people and found that they were still beating faintly.
He directed several female doctors to perform CPR on her, while the other three followed Feng Jiu and pressed forty times to help her breathe.
After doing this for more than ten minutes, several people started coughing one after another.
Feng Jiu was so tired that he sat down on the ground. When they opened their eyes and saw that they were still alive, they started crying loudly.
"Why did you save us? Why didn't you let us die? We have no face to live anymore."
Several people cried heartbreakingly, and the emperor spoke: "I have avenged you. It was my fault that I did not teach Prince Li well. I will give you some compensation. You can go home in peace. This matter will not be spread out."
Feng Jiu also advised: "Sisters, don't be sad. This is not your fault. Don't take the blame on yourself. It is better to live a miserable life than to die. If your family doesn't accept you, you can come to Wo. Wo is the Princess Protector of the Nation appointed by the Emperor himself."
Several people were comforted by the little sister. Seeing that she knew so much at such a young age, several people knelt down and kowtowed to Feng Jiu.
An older woman said: "Thank you, Princess Protector of the Nation, for saving our lives. If our families cannot tolerate us, we will come to find the princess and serve her for the rest of our lives."
Feng Jiu smiled: "Isn't that right! People should always live for themselves, don't care about other people's faces, think more about yourself, and there is nothing that cannot be overcome."
After the prince arranged everyone, he sent them out of the palace one after another. Fengjiu did not participate in the subsequent events.
The father and daughter walked back to the marquis's mansion, and the emperor also announced that Prince Li was collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.
Those who defected to Prince Li were dismissed from office or beheaded by the emperor. Everyone in the court has been terrified recently.
It is less than half a month away from the Chinese New Year, and Feng Laosi is preparing to take his family back to Fengjia Village to celebrate the New Year.
The matter of opening a beauty salon will be dealt with after the Chinese New Year. Fengjiu has been going into the space to practice every night these days.
Feng Laosi also practiced martial arts in the space with his daughter. Xiao Longlong took a look and found that no one in the Feng family had spiritual roots, so he found a set of exercises suitable for mortals for Feng Laosi.
These days, Feng Lao Si took his parents to have a good time in the capital. Old Mrs. Feng and Old Man Feng also got to know a little about the capital. They still think Fengjia Village is good.
On November 20th, Feng Lao Si brought Feng wine into the palace and told the emperor that he would return to Fengjia Village to celebrate the New Year, and he also sent the New Year gifts to the emperor and empress in advance.
As soon as the father and daughter returned home, Nangong Beichen hurried to the Marquis' Mansion.
Nangong Beichen: "Sister Jiu'er, I also want to go to Fengjia Village with you to celebrate the New Year, okay?"
Fengjiu: "Brother Chen doesn't have to accompany the Emperor and Empress?"
Nangong Beichen: "Brother Crown Prince is accompanying them. I have never spent the New Year away from home. Can I be with Sister Jiuer this year?"
His little face was full of anticipation. Feng Jiu agreed when he saw that he wanted to go. Feng Lao Si on the side secretly clenched his fists.
