At this moment, he truly hoped that what Jinghe and General Xie and his wife had said was all false.
At least Xie Shiyan can be saved, and the stability of Northern Qi can be maintained.
Perhaps the emperor's expression was too obvious, for Gu Jiangli saw through it at a glance.
She lowered her head and pressed it against Xie Shiyan's chest, saying, "You guessed right, the Emperor is indeed on our side."
Gu Jiangli couldn't help but sigh. When Xie Shiyan was making the plan, he confidently said that the emperor was definitely not their adversary.
Now it seems that what he said was indeed true.
Xie Shiyan raised the corner of his mouth, still confident and composed, "The emperor needs me, and Northern Qi needs Xie Shiyan, it's that simple. The emperor will not easily believe any slander against me, and even if the evidence is conclusive, he will not easily convict me."
Gu Jiangli chuckled and said, "Don't worry, there's no evidence. Those were all written by Wuyuzhi and have long since disappeared."
"You're quite clever to do things without leaving a trace."
Using cuttlefish juice, a border defense map was copied onto the Xie family's construction blueprints, completely obscuring the original Xie family mansion's layout.
When Jinghe discovered it, it was a real border defense deployment map.
However, Jinghe was unaware that the ink used to create the canvas was not regular ink, but rather squid ink, which would disappear over time.
By the time Jinghe presented the letter to the emperor, the defense map drawn with squid ink had long since disappeared, leaving only the original construction plan of the Xie residence.
The other letters were the same.
That's why Gu Jiangli said that General Xie and Liu had no evidence at all.

After saying that, she touched her belly and said, "I hope this little bit of wisdom can be passed on to this little one."
A hint of tenderness appeared in Xie Shiyan's eyes.
“Yes, I will,” he said softly.
At this moment, several Imperial Guards entered from outside the main hall.
They were holding several boxes in their hands. Liu's eyes lit up, knowing that they had brought evidence.
However, following behind the Imperial Guards were some other people who made all the ministers crane their necks in curiosity.
These ten or so people had completely unfamiliar faces, but their gait revealed an extraordinary air about them.
Gu Jiangli sat up from Xie Shiyan's arms because she saw familiar faces among the group.
Lotus was among this group of people.
So they are... the Gu family?
