"Sister Xue, how is it? Was everything okay at the border when you came? Are Brother Yu and the others doing well?"
Xue Zhining burped in an indecent manner, "It's okay, you don't have to worry. It's just that because we had to bring Su Jingchen here as well, we had to plan an assassination.
However, he dealt with it superficially and did not arouse anyone's suspicion.
And you don’t know that just two days after you left, Qin Zheng started to act like a rogue and even arranged for people to steal the prescription.
Fortunately, my junior brother had anticipated this and hid the prescription, otherwise they would have succeeded.
However, for the sake of those soldiers, the junior brother still gave the prescription to them for free, which made Qin Zheng feel a little embarrassed.
Moreover, just as he had detoxified everyone, the emperor's imperial edict of reward came down.
You don't know, at that time, Qin Zheng and the others looked very happy! Hahahaha, this is the first time I saw Qin Zheng suffer such a big setback.
He was so angry that he went straight back to the tent and said he would not come out no matter what. I didn’t even see him when I left.”
Xiao Lingling didn't know about these things. She was still very happy when she knew that Qin Zheng had suffered a setback.
After all, he was Brother Yu's enemy, so rounding it off, he was also her enemy. Of course, she would be happiest when her enemy was defeated.
But this was not enough. She knew that Sister Xue and Brother Yu both wanted to overturn Aunt Chu's verdict, but the previous affairs concerning the Chu family had only stopped at clearing Grandpa Chu's name.
I don’t know if it was intentional or what, but there hasn’t been much progress since then.
She guessed that it might be related to her father. After all, the Qin family was involved with Su Jingyao, and he didn't want to involve his own son.
But Su Jingyao is no longer a prince now, so I think this matter should be able to move forward, right?
Thinking of this, Xiao Lingling decided to find an opportunity to mention it to her father, thinking that her father would not refuse.
These people are not far from the final judgment.
So, Xiao Lingdang whispered to Xue Zhining's ear, "Sister Xue, the Qin family will be finished soon! When you go back, tell Brother Yu not to worry, he won't have to wait too long."
Xue Zhining turned around and looked at her excitedly, "Xiao Lingling, are you serious? You're not kidding me!"
She really dreams of avenging her master!
Xiao Lingling nodded firmly, "Of course it's true. So this time when you go back, you must keep a close eye on Qin Zheng and don't let him get away."
Xue Zhining straightened her back, "Don't worry, Xiao Lingling! Even if I don't eat, drink, or sleep, I will never let him escape!"
As she spoke, she felt her blood boiling and she wished she could rush back right away.
She couldn't help but want to see Qin Zheng suffer the consequences of his own actions as soon as possible.
Xiao Lingling let her go. She had suppressed her emotions for so long, and it was time for her to have an outlet.
When she had almost calmed down, the emperor summoned her.
It was Xue Zhining's first time entering the palace, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous. Fortunately, Xiao Lingling was by her side and held her hand.
"Don't be afraid, Sister Xue. I'll go with you!"
Xue Zhining took a deep breath, letting her frantic heartbeat gradually calm down, "Okay, let's go!"
Xue Zhining took out a small package from somewhere and held it in her hand.
The few of them entered the palace smoothly, but before entering the imperial study, the package in Xue Zhining's hand was stopped and inspected to prevent her from bringing in any dangerous items.
In fact, there are only some evidences such as confessions and letters in it, so there is no need to worry about them being read.
The two of them entered the imperial study smoothly, but it was a little different from what they had imagined, as there was only the emperor here.
Xue Zhining looked at the desks placed on both sides of the hall and the princes sitting on both sides, and for a moment she thought she had come to the wrong place.
Xiao Lingling was used to it. When she saw the eldest brother looking at her for help, she immediately turned around and looked at Su Daocheng.
"My daughter has met the Emperor."
Xue Zhining came to her senses and quickly knelt on the ground. "This humble general, Xue Zhining, pays homage to the emperor. Long live the emperor."
"Get up! You must have been tired from the journey."
Xue Zhining slowly stood up and said, "It's my duty, it's not hard."
Xue Zhining spoke concisely, and although her words were respectful, they were free of false flattery.
She looked somewhat similar to Chu Mengyun back then. Instead of being angry, Su Daocheng really liked their behavior.
"No need to be so polite, come, please take a seat!"
Soon, the servants brought two chairs, and Xue Zhining sat down next to Xiao Lingdang.
Su Daocheng was not shy about talking to his three other sons. "Regarding Su Jingyao's treason, do you have any other evidence to bring with you this time?"
With just one sentence, the hall instantly became quiet.
Except for Xiao Lingdang and Xue Zhining, everyone looked at Su Daocheng in shock.
Firstly, they were shocked that a prince dared to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, and secondly, they were shocked that Su Daocheng did not hide it at all.
I just don’t know if this is because Su Daocheng trusts them, or if this is just a warning to them?
Everyone had different thoughts, but Xue Zhining didn't care and just respectfully took out the things she had brought.
Little Bell acted as a messenger, took it and presented it to Su Daocheng.
"Some of these are complete confessions we obtained after interrogation, including three statements from the contact person and the intermediary.
They were interrogated separately, but the timing and specific details matched. We have brought all the relevant witnesses with us this time.
Several other letters were found in the tent where the Fourth Prince lived and in a temporary residence in the town.
It contains the correspondence between him and the barbarians, and there is another letter that has not been sent, which we have also brought with us."
All in all, it can be said that the evidence of this incident is conclusive, almost equivalent to the presence of witnesses and physical evidence.
It is precisely because of this that everyone has to accept this somewhat cruel reality.
Su Daocheng was obviously mentally prepared, but when he looked through those letters, especially when he saw the handwriting of Su Jingchen agreeing to cede the city, he still couldn't help but get furious.
He threw the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table to the ground, scaring everyone so much that they all knelt on the ground and begged him to calm down.
But this kind of thing, let alone Su Daocheng, no one else would be able to accept it.
He really couldn't understand why he gave birth to such a unscrupulous, stupid and unaware son?
He really wanted to bring Su Jingchen in for a blood test to see if his son was the same as Su Jingyao, but this kind of thing was too humiliating, so he just thought about it.
After a long while, he managed to suppress his restless emotions and asked everyone to stand up.
