Xie Shizhu replied with a smile: "Then tell me, who killed the King of Day?"
Xie Hailan was stunned, as if he had not expected Xie Shizhu to say such a thing.
She took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "I think it's Xie Ji."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Prime Minister, who had been silent until then, shouted, "You will be beheaded if you talk nonsense."
Xie Hailan smiled coldly: "Only Xie Ji can get Xie Shizhu to protect him so much. Everyone knows that they are having an affair."
Xie Shizhu: "..." You guessed it right.
The officials were shocked by Xie Hailan's words.
Because everyone knew that Xie Shizhu and Xie Ji had different feelings, but no one dared to mention it, except Xie Hailan.
The court was extremely quiet.
All the ministers were waiting for Xie Shizhu's words.
Xie Shizhu suddenly smiled: "Have you forgotten that I entrusted the assassination mission to Zhong Changyao? Unfortunately, Zhong Changyao failed to complete the mission and instead allied with the Emperor of Fan State to seize the kingdom of Yue State."
At this moment, the Prime Minister immediately reacted and said quickly: "In my opinion, it is also possible that Zhong Changyao is crying wolf. After all, he can incite rebellion and is capable of anything."
Xie Shizhu nodded.
He seemed to agree with the Prime Minister's words.
The Prime Minister continued, "What if Zhong Changyao killed Prince Zhou and then deliberately framed Prince Yi or Your Majesty?"
After he finished speaking, a minister interrupted and said, "That's possible."
Xie Hailan's face darkened and he shouted, "I think you are all lying to Xie Shizhu just to please her."
Suddenly, Xie Ji, who was supposed to be studying in the upper study, came to the court with a middle-aged man.
Xie Shizhu was a little surprised to see Xie Ji coming.
Why does it feel like Xie Ji does everything except studying?
The system nodded: [Indeed!]
Xie Ji squinted at the middle-aged man and ordered, "Speak."
The middle-aged man was a well-known craftsman in Yue Country, and many swords were made by him in the past.
In fact, many ministers knew him.
The middle-aged man swallowed and said, "Your Majesty, Zhong Changyao previously asked me to forge a dozen tokens for the King Yi, as well as a dagger."
Xie Hailan had never expected things to develop in this direction.
She gritted her teeth and said, "You lied, how can you prove that what you said is true?"
The middle-aged man tremblingly took out the letter written by Zhong Changyao himself and handed it to a minister.
The ministers confirmed that it was Zhong Changyao's handwriting.
Xie Ji glanced at the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister quickly understood and said, "It seems that Zhong Changyao really killed Prince Zhou and framed Prince Yi."
After he finished speaking, Xie Shizhu smiled and stared at Xie Hailan, who was stunned. "I have found the assassin who killed your father for you. Do you have anything else to say?"
When Xie Hailan learned that his plan had failed, he shook his head silently and planned to find another opportunity to bring down Xie Shizhu.
But the opposite happened.
Xie Shizhu's face turned cold, and he said in a tone that brooked no argument, "Since I have found the assassin for you, let's carefully settle the matter of you falsely accusing Prince Yi."
Xie Ji raised his eyes to look at the woman on the dragon throne, and saw that she was supporting him with an unspeakably soft heart.
