Anyway, Jiang Luofu has already obtained the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" from him, so this kid is no longer of any value. Let's take this opportunity to kill him.
While we're at it, let's take down the Crown Prince's top general!
Bi Linglong's face was also frosty at this moment. Based on her understanding of Zu'an, what the official said was mostly true.
The thought of how she had worried about him all these days, and how he hadn't written her a single letter, only to be out there fooling around with other women, filled her with anger.
But anger aside, we still have to save them.
At her behest, officials from the Crown Prince's faction immediately began to refute: "This is slander. Lord Zu has always been loyal and devoted. How could he possibly do such a thing?"
An official from the Qi King's faction said, "Our spies in the demon race have indeed sent back intelligence that Zu'an has appeared in the demon race. We can send the Embroidered-Robed Envoy to verify this."
After speaking, he took out some evidence and had a eunuch present it to him.
The crowd in the Eastern Palace paused, and at this moment, the Minister of Justice, Jiang Boyang, spoke up: "I think there might be some misunderstanding here, and we need to investigate it carefully."
Because of his daughter Jiang Luofu, he actually had some goodwill towards Zu'an.
Officials who had previously remained neutral but had connections with Zuan began to chime in, such as officials from the Taichang faction, who all had some connection with people from the National Academy.
Zuan and the teachers in the back hills of the National Academy had a close relationship.
...
Seeing that the situation had reversed, Yi Chun, the Prefect of Jingzhao, said, "If what you all say is true, that Zu An was always in the delegation, then even if something unexpected happened that night, with his cultivation and Sang Hong working together, he would definitely not have let the villains succeed. But the entire delegation that entered Cancheng was wiped out, and there was not a trace of the two of them."
"Once is a coincidence, twice is a coincidence, but so many times, is it still a coincidence?"
"The document just submitted to the Emperor records the situation of Zu'an appearing in various places of the demon race, and the evidence is irrefutable."
"Your Majesty, I request that you convict Zu An of treason!"
...
He was always good at solving cases, and his resounding words left the other side speechless.
After all, all the evidence now is extremely unfavorable to Zuan.
At this moment, Bi Linglong could no longer sit still. She parted her lips slightly and said, "The crime of treason is no small matter. Now that Lord Zu has disappeared, we cannot just listen to one side of the story. It will not be too late to ask him in detail after he returns in the future."
Now all she can do is stall, delaying the case to buy time.
No one expected that the Qi King's faction was so well prepared. They had clearly found out about Zu An's information in the demon race before, but they had kept quiet. This time, they used the fire incident of the delegation to try to kill him completely.
“Your Highness is mistaken. Since Zu’an has already colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, why would he return to walk into our trap?” Yi Chun sneered.
Bi Linglong was extremely anxious and looked to her father and brother for help, but given the current unfavorable situation, the father and son both chose to remain silent.
Just as she was in despair, a clear voice suddenly came from outside: "I heard someone is looking for me?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Bi Linglong's beautiful eyes instantly lit up with a strange light. However, worried that the emperor, who was not far away, would notice something amiss, she immediately lowered her eyes and tried her best to remain calm.
