Rong Jing stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, they have physical evidence, but I have witnesses."
At this time, someone was tied up and escorted in at the door, and following behind was actually the Ninth Prince.
When the minister saw the handsome man appear before him again, he was stunned for a moment.
The Emperor had never imagined that his good uncle would interfere, and hadn't Zhong Nanyi told him yesterday that everything was arranged? What was going on?
"Today, I went to my shop and saw these people acting suspiciously. I sent someone to follow them, but I didn't expect the house they went to was actually hiding weapons." Zhong Xian's words caused an uproar. Could it be that all the spies from Jiang State had reached the capital? If they were not discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.
When Zhong Nanyi heard what Zhong Xian said, she also glanced at Sheng Minghan, only to see that the man was still frowning, and it seemed that he had not expected this situation.
At this time, Fu Yunxi had already spoken, "Ninth Uncle, have you found out who is behind this? Has anyone said it was me?"
Seeing his niece being so naughty again, Zhong Xian gave her a doting look and continued, "I discovered that they all entered the palace with the Third Princess's token. It would be better for the Third Princess to answer this question."
Zhong Xian's words caused an uproar in the hall.
The emperor had known the inside story of this matter for a long time, and now he also knew that she might have been used by someone, but even if he knew, what could he do?
If the ministers knew that he, as the king of a country, had done such a thing, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.
So the emperor pretended to be angry and asked, "Third sister, can you explain what is going on?"
The ministers also felt that they had watched a good show. After all, it started with the third prince consort questioning the eldest princess, and now it involved the third princess's mansion.
Zhong Nanyi quickly knelt down and explained, "I don't know what's going on."
Sheng Minghan, who was standing beside her, had noticed the look the woman had given him earlier, so he quickly apologized, "Princess, I know nothing. It was because I was deceived by the people of Jiang State that this happened."
Now the only way to have a chance of survival is to confess your guilt first.
It's just that he felt abandoned in his heart. He had done everything according to Zhong Nanyiyi's instructions, but when something really happened, he was the one who confessed his guilt.
Baili Hong already knew Zhong Nanyiyi's personality, so his expression did not change. Perhaps in her heart, she was the most important person.
The emperor didn't say anything else, motioning him to continue, so Sheng Minghan continued, "They said they wanted to do business in the capital, and then gave me the traitor's secret letter, so I was deceived."
Sheng Minghan's words were half true and half false, which made it difficult for people to hear anything wrong at first.
After all, after he explained it this way, many ministers believed him and felt that although he was guilty, he was just impulsive.
Fu Yunxi's expression did not change at all when she saw them like this. After all, she had already given all the evidence to the Ninth Prince. No matter how much they argued, it would be useless.
At this time, Zhong Xian had already taken out the secret letter between Sheng Minghan and Jiang Guo and said, "The letter in General Sheng's hand is a forgery. He colluded with Jiang Guo to frame the princess."
After saying this, he handed the letter to a civil servant who was skilled in handwriting identification. After carefully examining it, he said, "This is indeed General Sheng's handwriting, and the private seal on it is also his."
As the civil servant's words fell, it was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, and everyone was even more shocked.
After all, what kind of grudge did General Sheng have with the princess that he would do such a thing? Not only did he actively collaborate with the enemy, but he also stupidly let the enemy into the capital as a deal.
Is this still the young general who killed enemies on the battlefield? He put the people in danger for his own selfish reasons.
Zhong Nanyiyi didn't expect that even her initial plan was discovered, so everything she did was in vain.
She glanced at Fu Yunxi again, and seeing that she was still so calm, she felt even more disgusted.
General Sheng had never thought his son could be so foolish. He knelt down and pleaded for him, "Your Majesty, please spare this wicked son's life, as I have guarded the border for you for so many years."
He was originally promoted by the emperor, and although he was not a talented general, he had made some contributions.
Seeing General Sheng like this, the other ministers also stood up and pleaded with him.
Collaborating with the enemy is a crime punishable by the extermination of the entire family, but Sheng Minghan is obviously a fool, and now that the case has been discovered in time, he has not been charged with any crime, so General Sheng is thinking about pleading for his son first.
The emperor was afraid that they would reveal more, so he wanted to cover it up and immediately ordered Sheng Minghan to be taken away.
Little did she know that Fu Yunxi had already spoken, "General Sheng just framed me. If the Emperor punishes General Sheng so easily, won't more people frame the royal family in the future? Where will the dignity of the royal family be?"
The voice was so resounding that even the ministers felt that the princess had some of the aura of the late emperor.
The emperor was speechless. Indeed, in his heart, the dignity of the royal family could not be challenged by others, but now that he knew the truth, he naturally did not want to delve into it.
Fu Yunxi walked up to Zhong Nanyi and said, "I have no grudge against General Sheng, so I think the person who really wants to harm me is the imperial sister, right?"
Zhong Nanyi's eyes were a little flustered, but she denied it, "Your Highness, your suspicion of me will make me sad."
Fu Yunxi didn't give Zhong Nanyi a chance to deny it. Instead, she produced evidence from the Spring and Autumn Pavilion. "People from the Spring and Autumn Pavilion said that even the Pavilion Master listened to you. So, as a princess of a country, you actually disregarded the lives of the people."
After he finished speaking, Rong Jing had the remnant brought up. The man accused the Third Princess of having done all of this and had helped her do many such things before.
Lu Changzhou frowned. This was originally a case to be tried by the Dali Temple. He didn't expect that he didn't find the evidence, but Rong Jing did.
Zhong Nanyiyi didn't expect that there were still some remnants of the people from Chunqiu Pavilion from last time, and now he has been defeated.
Now that the evidence is conclusive, although the death penalty is not imposed immediately, Zhong Nanyiyi will probably remain in prison and will never see the light of day again.
The woman's face was filled with reluctance. When she passed by Lu Changzhou, she finally couldn't help but tell him everything. "I did all this for you. I did it so that you could solve more cases. Do you really not like me?"
The third princess had actually been coveting the eldest princess's former husband, and the ministers were shocked when they heard about it.
