Chapter 466 How did she know to make him angry!

The next day, it was still dark.

When the civil and military officials came to the morning court, they saw a man kneeling at the gate of the imperial city.

Xie Heng took off his official uniform and hat, held up a confession, and loudly pleaded guilty, "I am a guilty minister, Xie Heng, who fabricated false evidence, framed charges, and wrongly accused the Left Prime Minister Shen Li'an and the newly crowned number one scholar Murong Yan... I am a guilty minister, Xie Heng, who fabricated false evidence, framed charges, and wrongly accused the Left Prime Minister..."

The sound spread over and over again, spreading throughout the capital city.

Inside the palace, Xiao Bicheng had solved a major problem and was in a good mood. He was thinking about which of his confidants to promote to take the position of Left Prime Minister when a palace maid came in and reported to him that Xie Heng had asked for forgiveness.

If this happens in private, the matter can be suppressed.

But after he made such a scene, everyone knew that Zuo Xiang and Murong Yan were wrongly accused!

Xiao Bicheng's face turned livid, and he threw the beads in his hand to the ground in anger. "What does Xie Heng mean? Is he crazy?"

Just yesterday, I ordered people to be thrown into the prison for strict investigation. Now he turned against me and testified that Shen Lian and the others were wrongly accused. I'm afraid he was deliberately trying to embarrass me!

"Your Highness, it's time to attend the morning court."

"I know, why are you rushing me?"

Xiao Bicheng didn't need to think about it, as he knew how chaotic the court was at the moment.

He held his head in his hands and simply said he was sick and didn't want to go.

Unexpectedly, before noon, all the ministers were already kneeling at the gate of the East Palace.

"I, the Minister of Personnel Cui Wen, have come to plead on behalf of the Left Prime Minister. I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give the Left Prime Minister justice!"

"Your Highness, I am Yang Fangwen, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, and I have come to petition for the position of Left Prime Minister..."

"Your Majesty, this is Pei Shen, the commander of the Qinglong Camp..."

"minister……"

The petitions were so powerful that they reached the sky.

Xiao Bicheng was so annoyed by what he heard that he wanted to kill them all.

They only dared to force him. When did they dare to force the late emperor or their own father?

He had the gates of the East Palace closed and continued to pretend to be sick.

But in the afternoon, the palace maids came to report that the palace gate was already filled with people kneeling to petition for mercy on behalf of the Left Prime Minister.

If this continues, it will really arouse public anger!

Xiao Bicheng panicked and quickly ordered, "Release them, release those two people immediately!"

…

The gate of the prison.

Xie Zhuoning was standing there wearing a veiled hat, with two carriages parked behind him.

Not long after, two figures came out from inside, and they looked like they had been severely tortured.

But being alive is a blessing in disguise.

She quickly asked someone to come forward and support the two of them, then looked at Song Yuqiu, "Ah Yu."

Song Yuqiu understood what he meant and immediately checked the bodies of the two men. "Tsk tsk, you were really cruel. You have external and internal injuries, some of them even hurt your lungs. You are lucky to be lucky."

Murong Yan relied on his youth, while Zuo Xiang was simply holding on with his last breath.

The injury was serious and required immediate treatment. Fortunately, we had anticipated this situation and had prepared everything necessary in the carriage.

Song Yuqiu first stuffed a pill into their mouths to save their lives, then quickly and efficiently treated their wounds before clapping his hands and calling it a day.

Seeing that Mr. Shen's grief had subsided, Xie Zhuoning ordered the driver to "send him back to the Left Prime Minister's residence."

"Yes." Just as the driver was about to drive away, a weak voice suddenly came from inside the car, "Wait..."

Xie Zhuoning opened the car curtain and looked inside. "Prime Minister Zuo, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere else?"

Shen Lian opened his eyes and stared at her for a while, then he let out a long sigh, "Are you going to live your whole life with this identity?"

"Hmm?" Xie Zhuoning lifted his veil and chuckled, "Master recognized me."

Shen Lian snorted coldly, "I saw a figure from a distance, and I just couldn't stand it. I knew it must be you."

When she was still the future Crown Princess, he criticized her, saying that she looked like a seductress and was not fit to be the Crown Princess.

Later, when he learned that Xiao Jinxuan wanted to marry her, he became even angrier and felt that she was a real enchantress. Even King Xuan, who had never been interested in women, was seduced by her.

There is no mistake in having an innate dislike for a person.

Xie Zhuoning tried hard to suppress his smile, "Prime Minister, you really have a keen eye for talent."

"Stop flattering me!" Shen Lian snorted again and turned his head to the other side. "If this matter is exposed and King Xuan is implicated, I will never forgive you!"

Xie Zhuoning suppressed his smile and said, "There was a reason why I faked my death. If I hadn't faked my death and left, I would have lost my life. Some twists and turns happened in the middle, so I haven't found a chance to restore my identity. But now I have it."

She changed the subject, thinking that since Shen Lian had asked about this, she might as well tell him all at once, "I heard that the Prime Minister has some friendship with Master Shangxuan of Taiqing Temple?"

"What do you want to do?" Shen Lian looked at her warily.

Xie Zhuoning smiled and said, "It's nothing else, I just want to ask you for a small favor."

"Hmph, why should I help you?" Shen Lian asked deliberately.

He just wanted to see if Xie Zhuoning would repay his kindness by saving him.

But unexpectedly, Xie Zhuoning said, "If you don't want to help, forget it. Anyway, my identity will be exposed by then, and King Xuan, as my husband, will not be able to escape. We are husband and wife, living and dying together, and we will be a loving couple in the underworld!"

Shen Lian: “…”

Good, good, good!

She knew how to make him angry!

"I will write a letter to Master Shangxuan for you. As for whether you can ask him for help, it depends on you."

Xie Zhuoning smiled and nodded, "Thank you very much, Prime Minister."

After the deal was made, she watched Shen Lian leave, then turned around and got into another carriage.

"Miss..." Murong Yan was about to stand up when he saw her.

Xie Zhuoning reached out and pushed him back. "Since you're seriously injured, don't be so polite. Just lie down and rest. I've sent someone to your house to inform the servants and ask them to tell your mother that you've been arrested. She probably doesn't know about it yet. You'll come back with me to the Zhenyang Marquis's Mansion to recuperate. Come back after a few days when you're better, so that the old lady won't worry."

Hearing her considerate thoughts for him, Murong Yan was moved and said, "Thank you, Miss."

Xie Zhuoning shook his head lightly, "There's no need to say such polite words in the future."

Having known each other for so long and being together for so long, they have already become like family members.

After hearing this, Murong Yan stopped talking about it and instead asked how Xie Zhuoning got Xie Heng to confess voluntarily.

Xie Zhuoning told him all his guesses and the results of his investigation.

Murong Yan was obviously quite surprised. "You mean, Brother He, is Xie Heng's son?"

"Yeah." Xie Zhuoning nodded.

"It's really fate." Murong Yan never thought that He Mingyang would contact Xie Hengsheng.

"Not only that," Xie Zhuoning stared, "my second uncle also told me a secret, a secret about who is behind the scenes. That person will definitely surprise you."
