Emperor Jianchang was silent for a long time. Just as he was about to order the Imperial Guards to go to the General's Mansion, he heard a familiar voice coming from outside the hall door.
"Your Majesty, Tian Linwen is full of lies. Previously, in order to keep his secret, he deliberately slandered Princess Anle's relationship with him. His purpose was to destroy the reputation of the General's Mansion. He has ill intentions!"
The deputy commander of the Xiaoyu Guard appeared in the hall, pushing his superior, Xiao Lichen.
After the two of them appeared, the atmosphere in the Golden Throne Hall became even more solemn and solemn than before.
The two commanders of Xiaoyuwei have made their stance clear and are speaking for the General's Mansion. Could this be the attitude of His Majesty?
"Your Majesty, I also feel that Tian Linwen is untrustworthy. He is probably doing this to distance himself from the Tian family and avoid being implicated by Tian Ce, and is deliberately making malicious accusations."
After weighing the pros and cons, Inspector Lin Shirong once again spoke up for Tao Zhihong.
"The story between Tian Linwen and Princess Anle is all over the place. Judging from Princess Anle's usual behavior, maybe the story between her and Tian Linwen is true!"
As soon as the Minister of Works Wei Jinghou finished speaking, several murderous gazes fell on him, and his back felt like thorns, making him feel a strong sense of danger.
But when he thought about the secret letter he had recently received, Wei Jinghou gritted his teeth, withstood several sharp gazes, and continued, "This has nothing to do with the secret rebellion of the General's Mansion. Xiao Yuwei wants to speak for others, but please first produce evidence and convince us all."
"How shameless! Do you think you're the emperor? This Marquis Wei Jing took advantage of Tian Linwen's slander of his father to fan the flames. Isn't it because he had already made a bet and secretly sided with the Sixth Prince?"
[In order to win him over, the Sixth Prince actually promised to marry Marquis Wei Jing's daughter as his principal wife after he was released from house arrest.]
What a nest of rats and snakes! This Marquis Wei Jing is no good either. Back when the Marquis Wei Jing's mansion was declining, he secretly poisoned his wife to climb the social ladder and then married the former Grand Tutor's older, unmarried daughter.
Tao Yuwei, Xiao Lichen and their group rushed towards the capital without stopping after dawn.
On the way, Xiao Lichen received several important messages from his subordinates.
Previously, the Dali Temple, which was responsible for interrogating the servants and housekeepers of the Tian family, failed to pry open their mouths. At the critical moment, it was Xiao Yuwei who stepped in and obtained evidence from these people that Tian Linwen had slandered her reputation.
Of course, Xiao Lichen also obtained some other very confidential and important information.
Tao Yuwei was worried about the safety of Emperor Jianchang. After all, no one knew who had secretly poisoned the emperor. So she rushed to the palace with Xiao Lichen.
When she arrived outside the court hall, she was stopped by Xiao Lichen.
Xiao Lichen asked her to wait outside, but she heard someone in the hall slandering her family.
She attacked her father with vicious words and was so angry that she almost broke into the hall where civil and military officials were attending court.
But he was stopped by Xiao Lichen again.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the things you're concerned about. You just need to stay here and don't move."
Facing Xiao Lichen's cold warning, she nodded.
[Aren't you afraid that I might burst into the court and lash out, disrupting your plans? I want to see the villain's strength and see if he's as formidable as described in the original novel.]
After glaring at him, Tao Yuwei stood to the side outside the hall, quietly waiting for Xiao Lichen to take action.
Her words were heard by Xiao Lichen and Tao Zhihong in the hall at the same time.
