If he really wanted her dead, why would he tell her? This is weird.
Tai Banxue didn't know how to choose, so she asked someone to carry the jade house over, and sure enough, she saw red silk laying underneath. There might be something fishy about the red silk.
In the Regent's Palace, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory woke up from a coma. Seeing Ni Yueshan beside him, he wanted to get out of bed and salute, but Ni Yueshan stretched out his hand to stop him.
"No need to salute, just lie down!"
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory did not move, lying on the bed, "Princess, have I completed my mission? I don't need to take risks anymore."
That day he begged Ni Yueshan to take him in at the Regent's Palace. Ni Yueshan didn't actually refuse, but asked him to take responsibility for the mistakes he had made, which was to lure out the person behind the scenes to come and kill him.
Ni Yueshan arranged people to watch secretly. When someone appeared, he killed one of them and then impersonated him.
Follow the person who actually assassinated him and go back to report to find out who killed him.
As expected, Hua Lou was not just there to help deliver the message temporarily, Hua Lou was the real murderer!
"Yes, your Miss Ran'er and Aunt Hong are now imprisoned in the palace. This sword strike of yours should be regarded as the price you pay for the mistakes you have made!"
"But I announced to the public that you are dead!"
Afterwards, Ni Yueshan left the room and instructed Qingfeng behind him: "You just stay nearby. His presence is very important, you must protect him well!"
The Imperial Observatory is also a very favorable witness that can prove the prime minister's innocence, so it must be protected.
The next day, after court dismissed, people from the three courts prepared to jointly try Ni Gaofei. Jing Yuchen and Ni Yueshan naturally couldn't help but go together.
Ni Gaofei was the prime minister of the current dynasty, so no one forced him to kneel down. He stood in front of the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Censor, looking very calm, without the slightest panic.
But there was another person sitting next to him, Shao Lecheng.
Several people looked at each other, and then Minister Tai said, "Can we start now?"
Shao Lecheng, holding a toothpick in his mouth, replied lazily, "It can be later!"
Minister Tai looked at Shao Lecheng suspiciously, and Shao Lecheng began to explain: "The Regent and his wife will definitely come. If we conduct the interrogation now, they might come and ask where you have been. Wouldn't that just increase our workload..."
A few people looked at each other, felt that what he said made sense, picked up their tea, and started talking about other things.
Shao Lecheng looked at Minister Tai and asked curiously, "Minister, I brought the betrothal gifts to the Tai Mansion yesterday. I wonder if Miss Tai likes them?"
Although the marriage between men and women is normal, asking such questions at this moment in such a serious environment only makes people feel very embarrassed.
Minister Tai coughed and looked around. Kang Xueyi quickly said, "The marriage between the prince and the Tai family was granted by the Empress Dowager herself. This matter is known to almost everyone, so there is nothing to be ashamed of!"
Minister Tai then responded: "I carried the jade house that the prince gave me into my boudoir yesterday. I think you like it very much..."
Shao Lecheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and didn't ask any more questions.
The atmosphere was quiet for only a moment, and then footsteps were heard not far away, and then two figures were seen walking towards this side. Weren’t they Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen?
Shao Lecheng spat out the toothpick, then picked up the tea beside him, took a sip, and sighed, "I didn't expect the Regent and his wife to be so kind. I said they would come, and they really did."
Ni Yueshan glanced at Ni Gaofei and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was not injured.
The other people present stood up and saluted Jing Yuchen and Ni Yueshan.
Jing Yuchen said indifferently, "Please sit down. Today is the day for you to judge the Prime Minister. No need for excessive formalities!"
Then the two of them sat down and the trial began.
Minister Tai questioned, "Prime Minister, you still insist that the princess's appearance in the Prime Minister's residence was the work of someone else and had nothing to do with the Prime Minister's residence?"
Ni Gaofei stood in front of the crowd and responded calmly, "I can only say that this has nothing to do with me and my wife, but it is related to the Prime Minister's residence. The housekeeper in the Prime Minister's residence is the culprit who kidnapped the princess. This person has worked in the Prime Minister's residence for a long time. This is something I cannot deny!"
Minister Tai asked again, "Did the Princess Regent say that this steward was from the Miao family?"
Ni Gaofei nodded.
The censor and Kang Xueyi stroked their beards, looking thoughtful.
Things became interesting when the Miao family got involved.
"Bring the butler here!" Minister Tai gave the order again, and soon, the ragged Yi Wenxuan was dragged over.
His clothes were covered in blood, showing that he had been tortured for a long time. He looked very listless and listless.
After he was thrown down, he lay on the ground, as if he had no strength to move.
Minister Tai questioned, "Yi Wenxuan, you originally entered the Prime Minister's Residence from the Miao family, so you are more likely to be from the Miao family rather than the Prime Minister's Residence?"
Yi Wenxuan raised his head and looked at Minister Tai, then chuckled softly: "I work in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so naturally I belong to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Ni Yueshan had never heard him respond before, but this time he was very active.
Minister Tai did not ask further questions, but instead asked another question: "What was your identity before you went to the Miao family? A Tufan?"
"That's right! I went to the Miao family originally to persuade them to rebel! But the Miao family was upright and honest. Before they were exposed, I used a trick to get into the Prime Minister's Mansion and became the Prime Minister's housekeeper."
"This Prime Minister... humph, he's not as good as the people praise him to be. Serving the country and the people, risking his own life to cure the plague? Haha, what a joke!"
