Ma Feng clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.
"Your Majesty, I dare not speak presumptuously. These people are indeed from the Regent's Palace."
At this point, one of the regent's henchmen could no longer sit still.
He stepped forward and bowed to Qu Shaoyu.
"Your Majesty, the Regent is wholeheartedly devoted to the country and has devoted himself to serving it with utmost loyalty and wisdom. We must not allow some petty people to slander him and hurt the feelings of all the old ministers."
"I hope Your Majesty will make a wise decision."
As soon as he finished speaking, two-thirds of the people in the hall stood up and shouted in unison.
"I hope Your Majesty will make a wise decision."
Qu Shaoyu coldly looked at the people below who were pleading for the Regent.
His hands, which were behind his back, clenched into fists.
He sneered inwardly. The Regent was truly capable; the court was practically becoming the court of his Liu family.
At this moment, Ma Feng, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed heavily to Qu Shaoyu.
His voice was firm and resolute, and every word he uttered revealed his determination.
"Your Majesty, I swear on my life that everything I said in the palace today is true and without the slightest falsehood."
Qu Shaoyu looked shocked.
“Ma Feng, you…”
Another of the regent's henchmen quickly offered his advice.
"Your Majesty must not listen to the slanderous words of that villain Ma Feng. The Regent is wholeheartedly devoted to the Great Yin Dynasty. How could such a loyal and devoted minister send someone to assassinate Your Majesty?"
The man turned his head and pointed angrily at Ma Feng.
"It must be this villain who has ulterior motives, wanting to make our Great Yin Kingdom lose a pillar of talent like the Regent."
"Your Majesty, do not fall for this villain's treacherous scheme."
He bowed respectfully.
"I hope Your Majesty will investigate this matter thoroughly."
At this moment, Lin Hui, an academician of the Hanlin Academy, stepped forward.
He was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with clear eyes and the refined air of a scholar.
He bowed and paid his respects.
With an air of righteous indignation, he enumerated the regent's numerous crimes and presented substantial evidence.
Looking at the familiar evidence in front of him, Qu Shaoyu secretly praised Lin Hui, saying, "Well done."
This task must be handled by learned and quick-witted scholars, whose mouths are like sharp blades, capable of launching verbal and written attacks with ease.
It makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Looking down, one can see the grand spectacle of Academician Lin Hui of the Hanlin Academy debating with a group of scholars.
Qu Shaoyu wanted to applaud and cheer for him.
At the same time, I was certain that I hadn't made the wrong choice!
Ultimately, Lin Hui attempted to commit suicide by crashing into the main hall to demonstrate his loyalty and resolve.
Qu Shaoyu finally had no choice but to give the order.
The Commandant and the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review were ordered to jointly search the Regent's Palace to prove the Regent's innocence.
The Commandant and the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, accompanied by imperial guards, went to search the Regent's Palace.
Those who remained in the court awaiting news had different expressions and different thoughts.
Meanwhile, in Ningqing's area, the system began to focus on investigating the current situation of the Regent's Palace.
It wasn't until the royal guards found the hidden compartment under the bed in the regent's bedroom that the truth came to light.
After finding a brand new dragon robe inside, the system cat finally felt relieved.
The regent brought this upon himself; it's good that the host didn't have to intervene.
Meanwhile, Qu Shaoyu...
The people in the court saw the dragon robes that the Commandant and the Minister of Justice had brought back from the Regent's Palace.
Everyone's expression changed simultaneously, each with their own thoughts.
And the moment Qu Shaoyu saw the dragon robe.
While overjoyed, he also admired Ning Qing's intelligence and wisdom!
With the dragon robe as irrefutable evidence, plus the evidence presented by Lin Hui, an academician of the Hanlin Academy, they had a strong case to solve.
Now, the regent's henchmen had no way to refute him and could only shut up.
Qu Shaoyu was so angry that he ordered his men to surround the Regent's Palace.
