The emperor obviously didn't know what his good sister was thinking, or perhaps he knew but condoned her behavior.
There have been more foreigners in the capital recently. Lu Changzhou frowned unconsciously when he saw them on the street, but with the trade between countries nowadays, these people didn't mean anything.
Sheng Minghan received a reply from Jiang Guo, who said he was willing to help, but they couldn't sell the furs recently and didn't know if he could help.
Sheng Minghan thought it was not a big deal, so he naturally agreed. Moreover, reciprocity is the norm, so if you want to get something, you have to exchange it with something else.
He told Zhong Nanyiyi about Jiang Guo's request. Obviously, the woman did not object. Now all she wanted was to bring down Fu Yunxi. She didn't think about other things at all and gave the badge to Sheng Minghan.
Because of Zhong Nanyiyi's badge, it was easy for those people to come in.
Zhong Nanyiyi got the evidence and then handed it to the emperor.
Although she acted on her own initiative, her ultimate goal was the same as the emperor's.
So she thought that her royal brother would not blame her. Sure enough, the emperor took a look at the evidence and said nothing more.
"At the court tomorrow morning, ask Sheng Minghan to present all the things." The emperor said, and Zhong Nanyiyi left the palace with a happy look on her face.
At the Princess's Mansion, Fu Yunxi also received a message from the eunuch in the palace, asking her to attend court tomorrow.
Women generally do not get involved in political affairs, let alone a married princess.
Fu Yunxi had already guessed that after such a long period of preparation, they must have obtained forged evidence, so they were planning to deal her a fatal blow tomorrow and asked her to go to the court. After all, only a conviction in the court would force her, the eldest princess, to obey.
In fact, Rong Jing also held an idle position in the palace, so after hearing Fu Yunxi's words, he naturally accompanied her, and all other matters were also arranged.
He went to court the next day.
The minister was also surprised to see the two princesses coming. They would never come here unless there was something important on a normal day, and they were wearing formal dresses. Was something big going to happen?
They talked a lot, but couldn't figure out what was going on. They just cast their eyes on the two of them. In addition to the two princesses, the two princes-in-law had also come.
Zhong Nanyiyi has a pure appearance, but now that she is wearing a dress, it seems that she can’t contain her beauty.
She looked at Fu Yunxi and saw that the woman's bright face looked even more radiant and charming against the backdrop of her dress.
A hint of jealousy flashed in Zhong Nanyiyi's eyes. When she saw Fu Yunxi coming over, she raised her chin proudly.
I feel very excited when I think that Fu Yunxi will be thrown into prison as a traitor today.
Fu Yunxi saw the light flashing in her eyes and curled his lips slightly, wanting to plot against her so that she would not suffer the consequences.
After the emperor came over, the others stood still and performed the etiquette of monarch and subject to the emperor.
"If you have a petition, proceed. If you don't, leave the court." After the eunuch beside the emperor spoke, Sheng Minghan immediately stepped forward and said, "I have investigated the secret correspondence between the Princess and the State of Jiang. It records the correspondence between the two in detail."
Sheng Minghan's words caused an uproar below. After all, the eldest princess was the only legitimate princess with a noble status.
But I didn't expect that I could do such a thing.
Some of the old officials naturally didn't believe it, and they quickly came out and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
Sheng Minghan took out the pieces of letter paper in his hand and said, "These pieces of letter paper are the evidence."
Seeing Sheng Minghan's solemn words, the old minister became a little hesitant.
Instead, Lu Changzhou stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think these letters are a frame-up. General Sheng, when did they start communicating?"
In order to accuse Fu Yunxi of a serious crime, Sheng Minghan naturally put the time in front, so he said, "They started communicating three years ago."
"I have been in the Princess's residence for three years and I know the Princess's situation very well, so this is definitely a false accusation by someone else." Lu Changzhou's voice was loud and clear, and there was obviously no hesitation at all.
The emperor looked at Lu Changzhou below with an ambiguous look in his eyes. He still admired Lu Changzhou's talent, so he transferred him to the Dali Temple.
But he didn't expect that this would conflict with his own plan.
Zhong Nanyiyi didn't expect that Lu Changzhou's few words could shake many civil servants. Obviously, his words were very reasonable.
After all, Lu Changzhou was the former prince consort, and everyone knew how the princess treated Lu Changzhou at that time. Who knew Fu Yunxi better than Lu Changzhou!
Zhong Nanyi glanced at Baili Hong, and the man immediately understood and said, "It is because Lord Lu is the former imperial consort, so your words are even less reliable. After all, you are definitely bringing your own emotions into this."
Lu Changzhou frowned and was about to speak, but was stopped.
By this time, many people had already agreed with Baili Hong's words. Baili Hong continued, "It is well known that you were not close to the Princess at that time. How could you know what she did? The Dali Temple has always handled cases based on evidence. Lord Lu, are you trying to show favoritism?"
This sentence obviously blocked Lu Changzhou's words. No matter what he said, it would be of no use.
Fu Yunxi just watched them arguing over there. Zhong Nanyiyi actually had two good helpers, one literary and one martial, which was really good.
Seeing that no one else spoke, the emperor spoke up, "Bring the evidence to me. If you dare to wrongly accuse the princess, I will punish you."
He looked like a good younger brother, but in his heart he hoped that Fu Yunxi would be convicted sooner so that he could take back the secret guards under her control.
So, after just pretending to glance at him, the Emperor already looked deeply distressed and said, "Sister, now that the evidence is irrefutable, what else do you have to say?"
Seeing the emperor speak in this way, all the ministers naturally believed that the eldest princess had indeed colluded with the enemy and committed treason.
Therefore, one of the emperor's closest ministers knelt down and said, "The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Although the eldest princess is of noble status, Your Majesty must also deal with her according to the laws of Zhongguo."
The other ministers also knelt down and said, "I second the motion."
Of course, there were three people standing, they were Fu Yunxi, Rong Jing and Lu Changzhou.
Seeing Fu Yunxi's calm face, the emperor thought that she was relying on the late emperor's secret guards, so she had nothing to fear.
But he turned his gaze to Rong Jing who was standing next to Fu Yunxi. He always thought that Rong Jing was just a sickly boy. Although he was very talented when he was young, he was just a useless person now. That was why he agreed to their marriage. But now this sickly prince refused to kneel. Did he underestimate him?
Rong Jing was already filled with anger when he saw those people making things difficult for Fu Yunxi. They would not use this energy to deal with the enemy army outside, but instead against their own people.
