Want to release General Sang?
As soon as these words came out, the commotion below was even greater than when he just said that the assassin committed suicide, not to mention Chen Yan.
Chen Yan's pupils suddenly shrank, and the whole person stood straight like a piece of wood, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on him from head to toe, and his whole body was numb.
She didn't expect that after she had finally sent General Sang to the Heavenly Prison, she almost sent Sang Liwan in to accompany him.
But now, the emperor is going to release the person with just a few casual words?
Why?
Chen Yan suddenly turned around and looked at the emperor, wishing he could knock his head open to see what was inside.
She had clearly already submitted the evidence of General Sang's rebellion, yet he was still so bold as to release him based on that evidence. Wasn't he afraid at all?
Of course the emperor was afraid, however, what he was afraid of was not General Sang's rebellion, but the fact that someone in the court could produce such a complete chain of evidence, each of which was intended to nail General Sang to the pillar of shame for treason.
And such a person has been hiding in the dark all the time, how can he not be afraid.
As for rebellion...
The emperor didn't believe it. He had taken General Sang into custody just for the thing on Sang Liwan's body.
Since it has been confirmed that the thing is indeed on Sang Liwan's body, it doesn't matter whether General Sang should continue to be imprisoned in the Sky Prison.
What's more, since the death of General Sang, there has been an assassination attempt in the palace. Fortunately, the person who tried last night just wanted to frame him and didn't really want his life.
Otherwise, at today's morning court, someone else would have to sit on the dragon throne under his butt.
Several ministers looked at each other in confusion. One of them stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the evidence regarding General Sang was irrefutable. Now that they want to release him, have there been any new developments?"
"The evidence is irrefutable?" The emperor sneered. "Are you referring to those fabricated pieces of evidence, my dear?"
It is not necessary, which means it is possible.
The evidence that initially identified General Sang was true, but it was not impossible to overturn it.
"Uh..." The minister was at a loss for words for a moment.
It was the fourth-rank official that Chen Yan had previously instructed who spoke up, "Your Majesty, treason is a serious matter, not to mention the assassination that occurred last night. If we release General Sang now, wouldn't it be…"
He pondered it in his mind for a while, and finally, he gritted his teeth and uttered two words, "Rash?"
There was no expression of annoyance on the emperor's face. It seemed that when he said that he wanted to release General Sang from the prison, he had anticipated the possible reactions of his ministers.
Therefore, after hearing their words, the emperor laughed instead of getting angry. "Princess An's loyal protection of the emperor last night, doesn't that explain everything?"
Fourth Rank Official: "Princess An is Princess An, General Sang is General Sang. Moreover, could this be a ploy to deceive His Majesty?"
As soon as the words fell, the entire Golden Palace became extremely quiet for a moment, and you could hear a pin drop.
The fourth-rank official stood at the front with his head lowered, and everyone looked at him with somewhat unusual eyes.
Chen Yan also stared at him with burning eyes.
As a small lady now, she had no right to speak here, so she placed all her hopes on the person standing next to her.
She had been planning this for so long, and now it was going to be overturned in one day. If Chen Yan's psychological quality was not strong enough, she would have probably fainted at this moment.
Chen Yan pinched her palms tightly to keep herself awake, and kept her ears alert to the movements of the emperor.
I was afraid that he would say something that would make me despair.
Chen Yan closed his eyes and waited for the final judgment.
The emperor was silent for a long time. After he had admired the changing expressions of the people below, he still did not see any change on Jun Moyi's face. He always looked as if it had nothing to do with him, which made the emperor feel a little unhappy.
However, he would not change his plan just because of his anger with Jun Moyi.
The emperor played with the double dragon pendant hanging on his waist and said nonchalantly, "I have indeed made some new progress."
He asked Eunuch Li to take down what was in his hand and show it to the ministers.
"This evidence seems to contradict those previous allegations, but it is also irrefutable."
As soon as she said this, Chen Yan felt her feet go weak. She quickly steadied herself so as not to attract other people's attention.
Collecting all these is not something that can be done overnight. Who is against her?
Chen Yan's gaze swept back and forth several times below, and finally landed on Jun Moyi, who seemed to be "confident".
Her nails dug into her palms and she gritted her teeth.
Jun Moyi...
He is so willing to spend so much time and effort on that woman Sang Liwan.
Jun Moyi, who had been sitting below, seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly raised his head and met Chen Yan's gaze, which he had no time to look away.
Chen Yan was shocked. She was recalling the provocative look Jun Moyi had just given her, but when she wanted to take another look to confirm, Jun Moyi's eyes had already moved away.
She couldn't help but feel uneasy.
What did Jun Moyi’s look just now mean?
Did he know?
But how did he know?
Chen Yan felt a splitting headache for a moment. One thing after another happened this morning, and she was caught off guard and even unable to cope.
She needs to go back and think about it carefully.
In the end, no matter what the ministers said, the emperor was determined to release General Sang, but he finally gave in. The man was released from the Sky Prison, but was placed under house arrest in the general's mansion until the matter was thoroughly investigated.
In this way, the only person who insisted had no reason to insist. After all, he was still imprisoned, but the place of imprisonment was moved from the Sky Prison to his own mansion, which was not unacceptable.
They all bowed, "Your Majesty is wise."
Jun Moyi had not yet returned to the palace, but the news of General Sang's release had already been received.
When Sang Liwan heard the news, he was lying on a lounge chair in the yard basking in the sun.
Qingshui was obviously more excited. "Princess, the general has been released. Does this prove that the general's injustice has been vindicated?"
"Probably." Sang Liwan shook slowly.
Qingshui rolled her eyes and guessed, "Princess, was it the prince who did this?"
"I guess so."
Qingshui was about to say something else when she saw Gu Huaizhi approaching, fanning himself. "Princess, you don't seem very excited to hear that General Sang is alright?"
