Li Shi waved his hand, and another person stepped forward. "These are the correspondences found between Chen Liangdi and Qian Fengyi."
Chen Liangdi was shocked when she heard this. She stood up suddenly and said, "What are you talking about?! You found it in my place? That's impossible! You must be framing me!"
She was so angry that her face turned red, but everyone just knew that she was really brave.
What is the difference between questioning Li Shi’s frame-up and questioning His Majesty’s frame-up?
Li Shi bowed to her and said, "The palace maids in your palace watched and searched. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask."
He San also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we found these from Prince Xuan's Mansion."
He walked forward with the things in his hand, and there were indeed a few handkerchiefs on them.
Chen Liangdi, Qian Fengyi and others were overjoyed, "See, I told you she really gave her handkerchief to King Xuan!"
Jiang Jingchuan picked up the handkerchief, took a look at it, and threw it back into the tray. "Go show them who these handkerchiefs belong to."
Chen Liangdi didn't understand what was going on, but Zeng Fengyi recognized her at a glance, and his eyes suddenly turned dark.
She kowtowed quickly, "Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
"Your Majesty, please look into this matter. This is definitely a frame-up!" Chen Liangdi didn't understand why something that had been fully prepared ended up like this.
But she must not let Zeng Fengyi's affair be confirmed.
Everyone in the palace knew that she was close to Zeng Fengyi. Now that Zeng Fengyi's affair was confirmed, she must have been in a lot of trouble.
Besides, there are those letters.
King Xuan was a useless thing, but he couldn't handle both handkerchiefs.
They had been planning this for several months and had everything ready.
This should have been a foolproof plan. No matter how much His Highness favored and trusted Tu Qingyu, she would not be able to escape.
Why did the handkerchief and letter prepared for Tu Qingyu turn into Zeng Fengyi's?
Why were these letters found in her and Qian Fengyi's residence?
She subconsciously looked at Tu Qingyu, but saw that Tu Qingyu was looking at His Majesty seriously. Then she followed her gaze and saw that His Majesty was also using his eyes to comfort her.
Just like that, they exchanged glances and flirted with each other in public.
She was so angry that she wanted to die, but this anger interrupted her train of thought.
The Crown Princess said with a dark face, "Your Majesty, please have someone investigate these letters. How could there be such a coincidence that you sent someone to investigate, and Chen Liangdi, Zeng Fengyi, and Qian Fengyi just happened to find evidence?"
"You mean someone's trying to frame them?" Jiang Jingchuan looked over expressionlessly. "Could it be that the Crown Princess has forgotten who started this?"
There is indeed a problem here. Everything seems like several people are trying to frame Yu'er, but Yu'er saw through it in advance and then retaliated against them in the same way they had done it.
He suddenly remembered the previous incidents, and the methods were very similar.
Everything seems to be a coincidence, but in fact it can be called a perfect counterattack.
His Yu'er might not be as simple as he imagined.
But...so what?
She never takes the initiative to harm anyone, and everything she does is to protect herself.
Now that he knew she still had this kind of mind, he could only be happy for her.
The Crown Princess's face was already very pale, but she still tried her best to look gentle and virtuous. "It's better to let His Majesty investigate. After all, there are four concubines involved, and it's not easy to convict anyone."
Jiang Jingchuan stared at her intently, then said with a half-smile, "You're right. Let's investigate, thoroughly!"
The words "thorough investigation" made Chen Liangdi's heart tremble. What if other evidence was found besides the letters between her and Qian Fengyi?
Then she...
Jiang Jingchuan's words of thorough investigation set everyone in the palace into action. All the palace servants involved in the matter, including Tu Qingyu, Chen Liangdi, Qian Fengyi, and Zeng Fengyi, were taken away and interned.
When Tu Qingyu saw Li Shi winking at her, she knew that the people around her would not be in trouble.
An hour later, Li Shi came in with a thick stack of confessions.
After reading it, Jiang Jingchuan threw the confession to the kneeling people. "Take a look. From the palace maids around Chen Liangdi to the letter she sent to Qian Fengyi, to the collusion between your Chen family and the Qian family."
"If it's Zeng Fengyi, you..."
His eyes were fierce. "I have been in private communication with King Xuan since before entering the palace. After entering the East Palace, we have exchanged private letters many times. It's really good."
"Your Majesty..." Zeng Fengyi was trembling all over, and that cold gaze made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave.
In just a few breaths, her back was soaked with sweat.
She wanted to argue, but the handkerchiefs and tokens fell on her one after another, leaving her no chance to argue at all.
She knew at this moment that she was finished.
Even His Royal Highness King Xuan who was outside the palace was finished.
Jiang Jingchuan turned to look at the Crown Princess, "Does Crown Princess have anything else to say?"
"I... don't have any." Meeting his gaze, the Crown Princess spoke with difficulty, "It would be best if we could find out for sure."
It was already very clear that Chen Liangdi had teamed up with Zeng Fengyi and Qian Fengyi to frame Tu Qingyu.
Qian Fengyi was the vanguard, and Zeng Fengyi was the one who provided the conditions.
I just don’t know why, they all failed or even suffered backlash.
She had never felt the man's power so intuitively as she did now.
The word "thorough investigation" means that there will be no room for error and everything will be found out.
He must have found out about Tu Qingyu's counterattack, but since Tu Qingyu was the one he loved, he did not blame her.
Oh, there’s nothing to blame. Tu Qingyu was just fighting back.
Maybe he would be happy that Tu Qingyu has the ability to fight back.
Jiang Jingchuan nodded, then said lightly to Zeng Fengyi who was kneeling below: "She shall be put to death."
"Ah... no, don't..." Zeng Fengyi collapsed to the ground, "Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty..."
She was dragged away, her voice becoming quieter and quieter until it could no longer be heard.
The hall was as silent as a mouse, and everyone even breathed softly.
Jiang Jingchuan then looked at Qian Fengyi, "She attempted to falsely accuse the Imperial Concubine and was sent to the laundry department."
This sentence contained too much information. They didn't know whether to shock the imperial concubine first or the laundry department first.
"Your Highness..." The Crown Princess looked at Jiang Jianchuan and stammered, but unfortunately, Jiang Jianchuan would not explain anything to her.
The only sound in the entire hall was Qian Fengyi's begging for mercy.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean to frame Tu Liangdi. It's all, it's all..." She looked at Chen Liangdi beside her with tears in her eyes, then crawled towards her, "Liangdi, Liangdi, please say something. You ordered me to do this, I was just following your orders, Liangdi..."
After a while, Qian Fengyi was also dragged away. If nothing unexpected happened, she would spend the rest of her life in the laundry department.
Chen Liangdi watched her being dragged away, thinking that she would be the next one.
Unfortunately, Jiang Jingchuan just glanced at her lightly, stood up, and left with Tu Qingyu.
