"General, I heard that something happened here, so I came to see you." Prince Yu walked in, glanced at the scene inside, and already understood a bit about the situation.
King Jin has taken the bait.
Jiang Zhongyong quickly bowed, "Greetings, Your Highness Prince Yu!"
Prince Yu subtly avoided the question, feigning ignorance: "What exactly is going on?"
Jiang Zhongyong recounted the events, saying, "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance. I implore Your Highness to make the decision."
Prince Yu looked at Prince Jin, "Brother Prince Jin, what do you have to say?"
Prince Jin said, "I truly know nothing about this matter; someone must be framing me."
"Since it's a setup, then let's search!" Lin Muheng said lazily.
"I have the same idea, search!" Prince Jin couldn't wait to search now, so he didn't hesitate for a moment.
If letters between the general's residence and the enemy country are found, the general's residence can certainly be convicted.
The letter also involved Prince Yu.
Lin Mushen glanced at Prince Yu. Although he was inwardly excited, he did not show it on his face: "I wonder if Brother Jin came to the General's Mansion late at night just to watch the excitement? Or did Brother Jin know from the beginning that something would happen at the General's Mansion?"
"I don't have that ability. It's because my mother is ill that I've come to invite Miss Jiang to the palace for treatment," Lin Mushen hurriedly explained his purpose.
"There are so many imperial physicians in the palace, I just can't understand why Brother Jin insisted on coming to see my fiancée in the middle of the night."
Lin Muheng showed no respect whatsoever to the Prince of Jin.
Lin Mushen: ...
In front of strangers, don't you even bother to put on an act?
"Hmph, how could an ordinary imperial physician possibly treat my mother? Only Miss Jiang's medical skills can cure my mother's illness," Prince Jin argued forcefully.
"Oh? Is that so?" Lin Muheng's eyes turned cold.
At this moment, a guard stepped forward and reported: "Your Highness, a suspicious letter has been found in the study."
Prince Jin was overjoyed; there was indeed evidence! He looked at Lin Muheng and saw that both he and Jiang Zhongyong had grim expressions.
"Bring it here!" Lin Muheng said.
The guard handed the letter to Lin Muheng, who opened it and saw that the handwriting was clearly that of Prince Jin.
"Prince Jin, what else do you have to say?" Lin Muheng looked at Prince Jin coldly.
Prince Jin snatched the letter
This... what kind of nonsense is written in the letter?
"This...this letter wasn't written by me! This is a frame-up!" Prince Jin was furious.
"Slander? The handwriting on it is yours. Does anyone dare to imitate your handwriting?" Lin Muheng retorted.
Lin Mushen looked at the handwriting and found it utterly unbelievable.
Who imitated his handwriting? It's exactly the same.
Jiang Zhongyong reached out and took the letter: "Your Highness Prince Jin, what is the meaning of this?"
The letter detailed how the Prince of Jin and the Prince of Xiang orchestrated Jiang Chuwei's fall into the water, how they hid among the lotus flowers, and how they almost succeeded in their plan.
After reading it, Jiang Zhongyong questioned Prince Jin about why he did this.
Does he feel that the General's Mansion can do nothing about him?
"I'd also like to know who dares to be so bold as to frame me!" King Jin glared at the people around him.
His heart was actually in turmoil.
He realized he had been tricked.
They fell into a trap set by the Prince of Yu and General Jiang.
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated to clear the name of Prince Jin," Lin Muheng said calmly.
"The General's Mansion will cooperate with the investigation," Jiang Zhongyong stated.
The two of them sang in harmony.
At this moment, Prince Yu spoke up: "This matter is of great importance, so let's leave it to His Majesty to handle."
Everyone echoed this sentiment.
"No!" Lin Mushen exclaimed in shock.
The Emperor had already grown displeased with him because of the incident at the Prince of Xiang's residence.
He has already been punished, and now this matter has been brought up again, also involving the General's Mansion and Prince Yu.
My father will definitely investigate this thoroughly.
His attempt to frame someone could no longer be concealed.
Lin Mushen said firmly, "This is not my handwriting; someone has imitated it. And the day Miss Jiang from the Xiang Prince's Mansion accidentally fell into the water, it was not my doing."
Lin Mushen was really anxious.
If he is punished by the emperor repeatedly for this matter.
Where is his dignity? If he had succeeded, that would have been one thing, but to fail and still make a scene that the whole city knows about is something only he would do.
Prince Yu said, "Let's set this matter aside for now. Once I've investigated the truth, I will give the General's Mansion an explanation..."
"Investigate? How can we investigate?" Lin Mushen interrupted Prince Yu.
"Keep searching!" Lin Muheng said.
Prince Jin watched as Lin Muheng ordered his men to turn the study upside down, but they found no evidence.
"Someone must have framed me on purpose!" Lin Mushen said through gritted teeth.
At this moment, a guard rushed over and whispered a few words in Lin Muheng's ear. Lin Muheng's face turned extremely ugly.
"Your Highness, someone from the palace has arrived. They say His Majesty wishes to see you," the guard said.
Lin Mushen was startled; he knew this was troublesome. He glanced at Lin Muheng and Jiang Zhongyong, sighed helplessly, and followed the guards to the palace.
Inside the palace, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at Lin Mushen with a gloomy expression.
"I have heard about your situation. What do you have to say?" the emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent! This letter was absolutely not written by me, and I had no intention of harming Miss Jiang." Lin Mushen immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
What he couldn't understand was why the news about his father came so quickly.
The emperor looked at him coldly. "I have already sent people to investigate, and this letter is indeed from your hand. Moreover, there are witnesses who saw you at the scene. Do you still dare to deny it?"
