Chapter 1157: Observing the Details
The other party's face suddenly changed, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "The evidence is solid, Your Highness, but you still want to quibble? It's a pity that you can't make up stories here!"
"oh?"
Jiang Xue chuckled calmly, picked up one of the letters and raised it:
"You said this letter was evidence of my conspiracy with the enemy country, but the handwriting lacks the pause I usually use, which shows that someone deliberately imitated it."
She picked up another testimony: "This testimony said that I had a secret meeting with the enemy leader in a certain place, but I was clearly in the palace that day, and many servants can testify!"
With every word she spoke, the enemy leader's expression became uglier.
Those ministers who were originally wavering also began to whisper, looking at the enemy leader with suspicion in their eyes.
Jiang Xue pressed on step by step, not missing any details.
She pointed at the sleeves of the enemy leader and said, “The sleeves of the enemy leader are stained with a special spice, which is produced in the Western Regions and is rare.
And as far as I know, spies colluding with the enemy country also carry this kind of spice! "
The enemy leader's expression changed completely. He wanted to explain himself, but found himself speechless.
Every word Jiang Xue said was like a sharp blade, piercing his vital points.
"What a frame-up! The enemy leader's acting skills are really superb. It's a pity not to act!"
Jiang Xue said sarcastically, with a hint of disdain in her tone.
"You...you are slandering me!" the enemy leader shouted angrily.
"Whether it is slander or not, everyone knows it clearly."
Jiang Xue looked around, her eyes falling on the ministers who originally supported the enemy leader:
"My Lords, do you really believe the enemy leader's lies? Are you really willing to be used by him and become his pawns?"
Her voice was powerful and shocking.
The ministers lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look her in the eye.
They knew that Jiang Xue already had solid evidence and they no longer had any reason to support the enemy leader.
"Your Majesty, I have presented all the evidence to you. Please examine it carefully!"
Jiang Xue bowed deeply to the emperor.
The emperor looked at Jiang Xue. He had always admired Jiang Xue's wisdom and courage. Today, she had demonstrated extraordinary courage and strategy.
"The enemy leader's plot has been exposed, and his crime is unforgivable! Come, take him to jail and wait for your punishment!"
The emperor's voice was majestic and powerful, echoing in the hall.
The enemy leader was dragged away by the guards. He struggled and roared, but he could not change his fate.
"Master Prime Minister and the princess have made great contributions to the country and the people. I am very pleased!"
The emperor looked at Xiao Zhan and Jiang Xue, his eyes full of praise: "I appoint the Prime Minister as the regent, and the princess as the first-rank imperial lady, to assist me in governing the country!"
"Thank you!" Xiao Zhan and Jiang Xue said in unison.
In the hall, all the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted, "Long live the Prime Minister! Long live the princess!"
Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan smiled at each other, they knew that they had finally won the fight.
At this moment, a guard hurried into the hall, knelt on the ground, and said breathlessly: "Report... Report to the Prime Minister, Princess, a mysterious visitor appeared at the wedding!"
The smoke from the Golden Palace had not yet dissipated, but Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan had already rushed back to the Princess's Mansion from the Imperial Palace without stopping.
The festive day with lights and decorations seemed to be shrouded in a suffocating cloud of suspicion because of a sudden "mysterious visitor".
The two men had just got off their horses and had no time to catch their breath when the oncoming wedding host stopped them.
"Master Prime Minister, Princess, the auspicious time is approaching, but the direction of the wedding hall..."
The master of ceremonies twisted his beard and said in a serious tone, "I have observed that this celestial phenomenon seems to be slightly inconsistent with the layout of the palace. I am afraid there is something wrong!"
Jiang Xue rubbed her aching temples and felt overwhelmed.
Just after the fight between the scheming green tea couple, here comes a "feng shui master". Is today an auspicious day? Is it appropriate to form a group to come and cause trouble?
Xiao Zhan's face was also a little gloomy. He glanced at the master of ceremonies coldly, with a hint of impatience in his tone: "For the marriage between me and the princess, there is no need to worry about these red tapes. Just keep everything simple."
When the master of ceremonies heard this, his face froze. He wanted to say something else, but was frightened by Xiao Zhan's sharp look and swallowed his words back.
After finally getting rid of the host's entanglement, the old ancestor of the princess's mansion came over tremblingly, holding Jiang Xue's hand, with a worried look on his face:
"My child, this wedding is a matter of great importance, and nothing can go wrong! Especially with that mysterious visitor, I always feel like something is wrong..."
Jiang Xue's heart trembled. Her ancestors' intuition had always been accurate. It seemed that this mysterious visitor did have bad intentions.
She held the old ancestor's hand tightly and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, old ancestor, Xiaoxue and the Prime Minister will take care of it, you can just watch the ceremony with peace of mind."
However, things are more complicated than they imagined.
The mysterious visitor was dressed in black and wore a hat that covered his entire face, making him stand out among the bustling guests.
He wandered around the palace like a ghost, sometimes stopping to watch, sometimes muttering in a low voice, making it impossible to figure out his purpose.
Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan sent people to monitor him secretly, but they were never able to get close to him, let alone find out his purpose.
This unknown fear, like an invisible net, surrounded them tightly and made them breathless.
"Prime Minister, Princess, the auspicious time has arrived!" The master of ceremonies' voice rang out again, breaking the eerie silence.
Jiang Xue took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress the uneasiness in her heart, and walked towards the wedding scene hand in hand with Xiao Zhan.
Red silk spread on the ground, joyful music played; this should have been the happiest moment in life, but because of the existence of this mysterious visitor, Jiang Xue's heart was always on edge.
Worship heaven and earth, worship parents, and husband and wife worship each other.
Just as the two were about to complete the last courtesy, the mysterious visitor suddenly moved.
He walked straight to the wedding stage, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, he slowly lifted his bamboo hat...
A familiar face appeared in front of everyone, causing Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan to freeze in place for a moment.
"Long time no see, my...sister."
The mysterious visitor raised a strange smile and spoke slowly.
That face is 70% similar to Jiang Xue!
The guests were in an uproar, and the whispers began to boil like a boiling pot.
"This... Could this be the princess' sister?"
"Twin sisters? Oh my god, I've never heard of a princess having a sister!"
Jiang Xue's brain was working rapidly, and in a flash, she remembered a rumor she had investigated before.
The Jiang family did have a pair of twin girls, but one of them was frail and sickly since childhood and was sent to the countryside to recuperate, so few people knew about it.
Could it be that... the person in front of her is her twin sister whom she has never met?
