The imperial palace.
As those young ladies from official families rushed to explain, Princess Jingyi already had a look of despair on her face.
When Prince Zhuang heard the news, he immediately entered the palace. As he walked into the imperial study, he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die!"
Without saying a word, Prince Zhuang came up and knelt.
"If a son is not well-educated, it is the fault of his father. It is I who have failed to teach Jingyi well. I, your servant, deserve death."
Prince Zhuang kowtowed in fear.
"Damn it?" The emperor said in a calm tone, "You deserve to die."
He threw the teacup in his hand directly at Prince Zhuang's feet.
As an idle prince, he lived the most comfortable life among all the brothers in the royal family! Even so, he still couldn't teach his own daughter well!
A woman actually dared to bring people to catch her own aunt committing adultery, but ended up catching her own brother and sister!
If this matter were to get out, the entire royal family would lose all face because of her!
The emperor became more and more angry as he thought about it. "Tell me, how do you want me to deal with this matter?"
Gu Qingchen sat aside and watched coldly.
Prince Zhuang kowtowed and said, "This is my fault. I will accept any punishment, Your Majesty!"
"But Jingyi is still young. I don't think she would do such a thing if there was no one behind the scenes instructing her!"
The emperor glanced at Gu Qingchen, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Someone ordered you to do this? Jingyi, did someone instruct you to do this?"
The emperor also felt that Jingyi was really bold this time.
As everyone knows, Prince Zhuang is timid by nature and never wants to get involved in court affairs. Jingyi's actions this time are really puzzling.
Maybe, this matter is really as he said, and someone instigated Jingyi.
However, Princess Jingyi was completely frightened out of her wits.
Seeing her stunned and speechless, Prince Zhuang slapped her in the face and said, "At this time, what are you still trying to hide?"
The sudden slap woke Princess Jingyi up from her dream.
Covering her face, she looked at her father.
The man's face was wrinkled, his eyes brimming with tears. He spoke earnestly, "My daughter, now that things have come to this, please stop hiding it. Tell me who ordered you to do this! Consider this a plea from your father!"
"Father……"
Princess Jingyi's tears rolled down her cheeks.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
What could she say?
She was stupid. She didn't know that man was actually Jiang Li's fourth brother, and she even misunderstood that they were having an affair...
She regrets now why she didn't check the man's identity first!
Why did he rush there all of a sudden?
She hates it so much.
It’s all Jiang Li’s fault. If she had told me from the beginning that that was her fourth brother, wouldn’t what happened later have happened?
Yes, it’s all Jiang Li’s fault.
Jiang Li deserves to die!
Wait, didn’t the Third Prince say last time that as long as she helped the woman who sold herself to bury her father to get to Jiang Li, Jiang Li would definitely die?
Thinking of this, Princess Jingyi turned her head to look at Prince Zhuang. The man's face was full of anxiety, and he kept muttering, "Who ordered you to do this? Tell me, otherwise, what will Dad do? Have you ever thought about your elder brother and your sister?"
Princess Jingyi's heart tightened.
If she caught the adulterer and made herself a laughing stock, the news would spread, and Prince Zhuang's mansion would become a complete joke. What about the marriage between the eldest brother and the second sister...
"Yes, it was the Third Prince who ordered me..."
Princess Jingyi whispered.
The emperor frowned after hearing this and glanced at the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch hurriedly said, "Princess, the Third Prince has been confined to the palace recently. Think carefully, are you sure it's the Third Prince?"
Princess Jingyi was shocked, but now there was no way out.
Xiang Xiang added, "Yes, that was the order given by the Third Prince before he was confined to his room."
"Is there any evidence?" the emperor snorted coldly.
"Yes," Princess Jingyi said, "The Third Prince once asked me to meet him at his house in the suburbs of Beijing. The location is..."
"Your Majesty, please send someone to investigate. That is the Third Prince's private residence."
Although the order during the meeting was not to catch an adulterer, it was impossible for the Third Prince to reveal the murder of Jiang Li. Therefore, the Third Prince had to take the blame for this!
Gu Qingchen drank tea and watched the show the whole time.
I wanted to vent my anger on Jiang Li, but I didn't expect to witness a dog-eat-dog fight.
It was an unexpected gain.
The emperor waited until the people he sent out came back. He closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair and rested without saying a word.
As for Prince Zhuang and his daughter who were kneeling on the ground, although their legs were numb and they had lost all feeling, they dared not move.

"Aunt Huang, you are so amazing!"
After Bai Zhi finished telling what happened today, Gu Yuyan excitedly rushed up and hugged Jiang Li.
"Ahahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! That little bitch Jingyi is definitely finished now! Oh hoo hoo hoo~"
Gu Yuyan smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits.
Jiang Mubai even laughed out loud, "Sister, you are so amazing, you are amazing!"
Oh my god, that Princess Jingyi is so stupid.
But think about it, the third and fourth brothers have been at the border for these years, and they have not been to the palace very often, let alone attending banquets in the capital, which has never happened.
No wonder Princess Jingyi didn’t recognize her.
"Aunt Huang finally vented my anger for me!"
The more Gu Yuyan thought about it, the happier she became. She clapped her hands and laughed. She was really looking forward to the day when she would see Jingyi again. She would definitely make fun of her!
"You little girl, you're not very old, but you've got quite a temper!" Jiang Mubai glanced at Gu Yuyan, "I remember that Princess Jingyi never got away with anything good at your hands these past few times!"
