Chapter 235 There is a Killer Move
The emperor suppressed the sneer in his throat.
How dare you say that?
Killing such a little girl was unsuccessful!
"The killer you raised is now trying his best to save Fu Yi..." The emperor lowered his voice and spoke sarcastically.
These words pierced Jiang Shenyuan's heart.
Jiang Shenyuan lowered his head, hiding his gloomy expression.
Fu Cheng unconsciously clenched his fingers.
The more you say, the more mistakes you make...
His gaze shifted slightly, and he saw the Crown Princess take a deep breath, surprisingly not panicking at all.
So what if she was wrong? The Crown Princess had never been so calm.
If the emperor wants to kill someone, it is a done deal and cannot be changed.
How could she be led astray by the other party's scolding?
"You are a woman." The Crown Prince's Consort stared at Cheng Nianying and asked, "How can you be in this palace? Who did you follow?"
The situation suddenly became even more chaotic.
"Is that a woman?"
"But she's clearly dressed as a guard."
"It seems... that he followed Prince Liang down here, right?"
"How can a woman ascend to the Purple Palace without a summons?"
Cheng Nianying and the Crown Prince's Consort met each other's eyes, and they both saw the cold determination in each other's eyes.
Prince Liang clenched his teeth, showing his hostility towards the Crown Princess: "Yes, she was brought here by me."
But there is no explanation of Cheng Nianying's identity and origin.
The Crown Prince's wife's eyes trembled, and she instinctively looked away.
When King Liang killed enemies in the past, he had an oppressive aura.
The emperor smiled secretly behind the screen. Unexpectedly, this princess was smart enough to bring the conversation back to Cheng Nianying.
He took advantage of the situation and asked in a deep voice, "Zeng, how did you know she was a woman?"
Cheng Nianying's voice was deliberately lowered, sounding like a teenager who was in the process of voice change.
But the Crown Prince's wife saw through it at a glance.
Cheng Nianying was a little surprised that whether she played a maid or a guard, it was all easy for her.
"Because of the way His Royal Highness Prince Liang is standing." The Crown Princess moved her lips. "Although she is dressed as a guard, Prince Liang treats her with a protective attitude. Your Majesty, how can a prince be standing in front of the guards? If it is a woman in disguise, then it makes sense."
King Liang's scalp tightened.
The fault lies with him?
Xiaohe must be angry, right?
Fu Yi, who had never glanced over here, suddenly turned his head.
He said nothing and his face showed no expression.
But King Liang felt that the road to recognizing Xiao He had suddenly become more tortuous...
No, today he must show his effectiveness!
"I see." The emperor coughed twice. This princess is quite clever.
"Prince Liang, who did you bring into the palace? I don't have time to ask you right now. Why don't you leave first?" The emperor said in a stern tone.
King Liang didn't have time to speak.
"Your Majesty!" a court official spoke hurriedly. "I believe that this person beside Prince Liang is not important, but what she said is extremely important! Your Majesty, please conduct a careful investigation. The prince is so important to the court, we must not kill him by mistake!"
The Emperor clutched the arms of his chair.
How could he not want to kill Fu Yi?
Even at this point, there are still people who dare to speak up for Fu Yi.
His silly son, who used to be at loggerheads with Fu Yi, actually brought Cheng Nianying to help Fu Yi today...
As the emperor thought about it, his blood suddenly surged: "Hmm... let's discuss this later..."
Does that mean that poisoned wine will not be given?
Cheng Nianying's brows relaxed.
What I just said was not in vain.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report." The official from the Dali Temple took a step forward.
Cheng Nianying's eyebrows and eyes were covered with snow, cold and sharp.
Yes, there is a back-up plan here...
The others didn't know what was going on and looked at the Dali Temple Shaoqing in confusion.
He bowed and clasped his hands, saying, "Your Majesty, I wish to report Prince Ding and Prince Danshuo for their private dealings and their intention to rebel."
The emperor stood up suddenly from his seat, his body swaying a little. "What did you say?"
There was an uproar all around.
"Does Shaoqing have any evidence?"
"This matter is of no small importance, we cannot speak carelessly!"
The Junior Official of the Dali Temple spoke with great force, "Your Majesty, I dare not speak rashly. The maids around Princess Zhaoning confessed that Prince Danshuo killed the princess because he already had a favorite woman."
"But you all know the prince's character. How could he do such an unreasonable thing for a woman? I dare to speculate that Princess Zhaoning may have accidentally discovered the connection between the two, and that's why she was brutally silenced."
"When I led my men to search Prince Ding's mansion for evidence of the princess's murder, I found the dragon robe, seal, and a handwritten letter from Prince Danshuo."
"The letter details how Prince Danshuo plotted to murder the crown prince and instigated a dispute over the succession. It also details how Prince Danshuo offered to help Prince Ding ascend the throne, demanding he be promised great power and lasting wealth."
Princess Zhaoning was just an introduction.
The betrayal of Prince Kang's Mansion was just an extra.
This is the emperor's real killer move.
Treason...is a serious crime.
Taking advantage of Zhaoning's death, they seized false evidence from Prince Ding's mansion. This chain of events was so intertwined that it was difficult to escape.
Cheng Nianying pursed her lips.
How to save Fu Yi?
How to save Fu Yi!
She turned her head and glanced in the direction of the emperor... No, killing the emperor in public would not solve any problems.
At this moment, Fu Cheng's heart was also deeply shaken.
The emperor never mentioned the charge of "treason" to his wife.
If this is confirmed, it will be a grave crime that will implicate all nine generations of the family! How can Prince Kang's Mansion escape this?
Is the emperor going to get rid of the donkey now that it has served its purpose?
Fu Cheng grabbed his wife's hand and felt cold sweat on her palm.
She was scared too.
At this time, the emperor put on a benevolent attitude and asked, "Does Prince Kang's Mansion know about this?"
The Crown Princess said without even thinking, "Your Majesty, my father and my husband know nothing about it."
"I think so too. Fu Yi killed Zhao Ning, and you were brave enough to kill your relatives for the sake of justice without hiding your own selfishness. What's more, it's a major matter like treason. As long as this matter has nothing to do with your Prince Kang's Mansion, I will not punish you."
The Crown Princess immediately grabbed Fu Cheng's hand, and they both knelt down to thank the Emperor for his keen observation.
The emperor took in their actions, and his surging blood immediately calmed down.
Fu Yi, Fu Yi, how are you going to deal with this move?
"Where is the evidence?" King Liang spat out. His back was almost soaked with sweat, and he dared not look at Cheng Nianying's expression.
The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple raised his hand and said, "Come here, bring it up."
Immediately, a palace maid came up carrying the dragon robe, followed by someone holding a lacquer tray with a seal and a letter on it.
The Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple took the letter first, spread it out, and showed it to everyone one by one: "You should have seen the handwriting of Prince Danshuo. Is there any mistake in the handwriting?"
"Yes, it's Fu Yi's handwriting." Someone agreed.
Cheng Nianying looked up and her head buzzed.
It really is Fu Yi's handwriting...
But he knew that letters were unreliable, so how could he really write such a letter?
The tone doesn't sound like him!
...Could it be that it is also an imitation of the Schima superba?
The emperor said, "Present it forward."
"Yes." The palace servant carefully brought it to the emperor.
The emperor glanced at it hastily, slammed the letter on the table, and said angrily, "Fu Yi! What else do you have to say?"
Cheng Nianying exhaled slowly and took another step forward: "That was not written by Prince Danshuo."
Why did she stand up again?
This thought popped up in everyone's mind.
Cheng Nianying remained calm: "I can also write a letter like this."
