This is exactly what Baili Chengyou was waiting for!

He turned to face the king and spoke indignantly: "Father, this is absurd. Please find out the truth and clear my mother's name!"

"If my brother really has ulterior motives, please punish him severely and give me justice!"

The king looked at Baili Chengyou deeply, and then winked at Eunuch Guan beside him.

Eunuch Guan understood what he meant and immediately went out of the hall to get the records from the Jingshifang.

At this time, the king looked at the second prince and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, what do you have to say about this matter?"

The second prince raised his head, his already stern brows tinged with gloom, and he bowed and replied:

"Father, this matter is just as Madam said. All I want to say is 'innocent'."

"But since my royal brother wants to bring up the past, I have something to say. Madam once told me that my eldest brother had taken a liking to the daughter of the Shen family and asked her to marry him."

"Father, you know my brother's character. As for who is the one who covets my wife, I think it is worth discussing."

"Moreover, the rumors about the lady's death some time ago were very strange. I was puzzled at first, but now I have a clue."

The second prince looked at the eldest prince meaningfully, and the implication was obvious.

The eldest prince's face darkened when he heard this, "Brother, don't think that you can throw dirty water on me just by fabricating these unfounded things!"

"I love beauty, but I have always used proper methods to obtain it. The imperial concubine and the concubines in the palace live in harmony, and men have many wives and concubines. What's the big deal?"

Having said that, the eldest prince glanced at the second imperial concubine beside him and sneered:

"I heard that my second brother's wife has been living alone since she got married. No wonder she doesn't even have a child now. Now it seems that there is someone else who gave birth to my second brother's child, right?"

The Second Prince was about to open his mouth to refute, but the Second Princess suddenly stepped forward, bowed to the King and the First Prince, and said with a chuckle:

"Brother knows so much, could it be that he has planted spies in the Second Prince's residence? Who said that my sister-in-law is alone in an empty room? And can such a thing be brought to the surface and told to our father now?"

"There is a nanny in the mansion who is responsible for recording these things. Should we ask someone to get them so that Big Brother can take a look?"

"As for the offspring that Big Brother mentioned, I have really tried very hard. After thinking about it, maybe it's because my husband is not good enough?"

"I envy my eldest sister-in-law. She doesn't have to suffer the pain of childbirth. The concubines in the mansion give birth to babies one after another. I heard that sometimes two babies are born in one day!"

"If you don't know, you would think that Big Brother is always hanging out in the backyard, surrounded by beauties and can't get out!"

The Second Imperial Concubine spoke with a smile, her words were sharp but her face remained polite.

Meng Guxue: (｀_′)ゞ

Wow! What my second sister-in-law said is a role model for us! Salute to her!

When the second prince was told no, he chose to remain silent.

The King's wife was standing opposite. Upon hearing this, she looked deeply at the Second Royal Concubine. If one looked closely, there seemed to be a sense of guilt in her eyes.

The eldest prince turned pale after hearing these words. He didn't expect that even after he had exposed the improper affair between his second brother and his wife today, his second brother's wife would still stand on his side!

The king also turned his head to look at the Second Princess, and there was genuine admiration in his eyes.

He had personally chosen the daughter of the Lan family for his second son, and now she seemed to be a good girl indeed.

No matter how shameful the things that the second child is exposed to be today, the couple will slowly deal with it behind closed doors, and of course they will be united in facing others.

Even the daughter of the Lan family understands this, but the eldest brother...

The king shook his head secretly. At this time, there was a knock on the palace door and Eunuch Guan came back holding a book.

Upon seeing this, the eldest prince straightened his back immediately.

Why bother arguing with them? No matter how eloquent they are, it will be in vain in the face of evidence!

Eunuch Guan walked past the crowd to the side of the king, bowed, and raised his hands high: "Please take a look, my lord."

The king took the book and opened it. The first page was a record of the king's successor, his wife Shen Ningyun, sleeping with him in the palace.

You could hear a pin drop in the hall.

The eldest prince's breathing became a little rapid, but there was a smug look on his face.

He can recite all the words written in the book, now let's see how they can argue!

The king read through the entire article at a glance, and when he raised his head, a look of relief appeared on his face.

His eyes swept across the room, finally stopping on the eldest prince's face.

The eldest prince's eyes lit up and his face was full of anticipation.

The next moment, the king stood up suddenly and threw the record book at his face!

"Idiot! Look for yourself!"

The eldest prince was hit on the head by the notebook, and the smile on his face froze instantly. He took the notebook instinctively, his hands trembling slightly, and lowered his head to read the words on the first page.

"On May 17, the 20th year of Nan Ding, the wife of the successor king, Shen Ningyun, was in the palace at 12:00 p.m., and the master—"

The first few words were exactly the same as he remembered, but at the end there were a few more words:

"The veil was removed from the wedding room, and blood was visible—"

The red flowers are visible...

The eldest prince suddenly raised his head, his wide eyes flashing with a strong look of disbelief.

"Fake! Father! This is fake!"

The eldest prince suddenly flipped through the notebook in his hand. It was exactly the same as the one the eunuch from the Jingshifang stole and gave it to him that day. But why, why were there a few more words?

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Guan bowed and said, "My Lord, this was taken out by me and the head of the Jingshifang together. I saw it with my own eyes, so there should be no mistake."

When the king heard this, he looked at the eldest prince with even more disappointment.

Boss, can't you see it?

He thought he had thought it through and produced witnesses and evidence, but he didn't know that he had already stepped into a trap carefully set by others. What he saw and heard was just what others wanted him to see and hear.

What a misstep! The hunter was the prey from the very beginning. He was so stupid that he didn't even realize it!

Who is the real hunter? The second one? Or the third one?

"Father! This... this is not right! Aunt Qiu, tell me! How did you see them hugging each other that year?"

Nanny Qiu was kicked twice by the eldest prince. After a long silence, she raised her head tremblingly.

The eldest prince looked at her anxiously. Nanny Qiu opened her mouth and immediately shouted to the king in panic:

"Master! Master, please save this slave!"

"I was forced by the eldest prince! The eldest prince captured my family and threatened them with their lives, asking me to frame the second wife and the second prince!"

"I did see the second lady meet the second prince in person, but the servants were all there at the time, and I was sitting beside her while serving her!"

"My Lord, you should know the Madam well. She is such a proud person that she would never allow the Step-Madam to have an affair with the Second Prince without a matchmaker, which would break the reputation and rules of the Shen Family!"

Nanny Qiu suddenly "turned against us", which was really unexpected.

Meng Guxue opened her mouth slightly when she heard this. At this moment, she suddenly remembered what Baili Chengyou had told Eunuch Dong:

"If the princess hears about this, don't worry. Your Highness can handle it."

It turns out that Baili Chengyou was waiting here!

Could it be that all this was Baili Chengyou's plan from the very beginning?

The words were swallowed and written in the text.

It is so difficult to write the latest plot, please help me!!!

The plot of the Yong Dynasty was a natural development because a lot of preparation had been done before. Nanli was given less attention, so we had to keep filling in the details to make it reasonable.

Little Crab has been working hard on writing, but if I only update two chapters, it’s definitely not because I’m lazy, it’s just that it’s really, really difficult to write.

This is the first time I write this kind of political intrigue-related article. It's really brain-intensive. I hope you can understand that I care a little bit about the logic and rationality of the plot. I don't want to be perfunctory, but I'm definitely not being lazy.

Then, thank you very much for your likes. I often see many IDs in the comment area. Thank you very much!!! Love you!!!
