Chapter 1877 Witnesses and Physical Evidence
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, retracted his hand, and was about to stand up. Nan Yan listened to this and asked softly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Zhu Feng lowered his head and said to her, "Wait a moment, I'll tell you later."
"oh."
Nan Yan didn't ask any further questions.
She knew that this time after clearing out the Reyuewan, there would be a multitude of things to deal with, from people to things, and Zhu Feng would need to deal with a lot. She certainly didn't want to waste his time, so it wouldn't be too late to tell her when he had some free time.
Seeing Zhu Feng walk out, the Jinyiwei immediately stepped forward and reported something in detail.
Nan Yan called Ran Xiaoyu and said, "I don't know if Xue Ling is still outside. Go out and tell her to wait. I will ask for permission later to let her meet with Ji Santing. They have both done their best, and we can't let them down."
Ran Xiaoyu accepted the order, but did not go out immediately.
Instead, he looked at Nan Yan with worry.
Nan Yan naturally noticed the worry in her eyes and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Is there something you feel unfair about, or don't understand?"
Upon hearing her say this, Ran Xiaoyu immediately said, "Your Majesty, why don't you convict Duke Cheng and the others?"
“…”
"They tampered with the Emperor's imperial edict, framing the two young masters and putting them in danger."
“…”
"How can such a thing be forgiven so easily?"
Nan Yan glanced at her with a hint of smile in her eyes, and said, "This time you've made more progress than before. If it were before, you would have been clamoring to teach the Duke and the others a lesson, but this time, you've come to ask me for clarification."
“…”
"Not bad, not bad."
Hearing her words, Ran Xiaoyu blushed: "The Queen is not serious again!"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I'm happy for you."
“…”
"You are now more patient and aware of the pros and cons than before."
Ran Xiaoyu said, "But I don't understand this matter. Why did the Emperor and the Empress choose not to ask about it, and the Emperor even asked the Empress to endure it."
Nan Yan sighed and said, "You said they tampered with the emperor's imperial edict and framed Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian. Where is the evidence?"
Ran Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment.
She blinked, as if she wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, no words came out.
Nan Yan said, "To judge a case, both witnesses and physical evidence are necessary. But in this case, where are the witnesses? Where is the physical evidence?"
Ran Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "Master Gu and Master Tong, aren't they witnesses?"
Nan Yan said, "They are both implicated in this case. Their testimony is not credible. In fact, if they say that the emperor's edict was altered, others will say that they are lying to avoid punishment, which would make things worse."
Ran Xiaoyu immediately asked, "What about the physical evidence—the emperor's handwritten edict?"
Nan Yan asked, "Did you listen to the Emperor's words from beginning to end and did he mention the current whereabouts of the letter?"
“…”
"Gu Yiyou has been awake for so many days, and Tong Sinian was rescued alive. If the letter was in their hands, they would have taken it out long ago."
“…”
"Besides, they're not fools. They tampered with the Emperor's decree to frame them, so why would they leave that thing in their hands?"
“…”
"If I'm not mistaken, after the two of them read the letter, it was taken away by the messenger."
Ran Xiaoyu's brows furrowed even tighter.
She suddenly asked, "Then, where is the messenger?"
