"He is, is..." Liang Junhao deliberately did not reveal the person behind the scenes in order to make them scared and uneasy.
The ministers also became worried.
Xie Shuoran and Xie Wenbo, father and son, were even more worried, fearing that Liang Junhao would find out about them.
"Xie Wenbo, the prince of Yan." Liang Junhao revealed the person behind the scenes when everyone was on edge.
When the ministers heard that it was Prince Xie Wenbo of Yan, they began to discuss.
Everyone knows that the legitimate son of Prince Yan is a playboy who spends every day in the land of rouge and flowers. He also likes to collect beauties from all over the world and keep them in the palace for his entertainment!
He is also bloodthirsty and cruel.
If it weren't for his ancestors' contributions to Qingxuan State, he would have been impeached by the ministers long ago.
"Your Majesty, I did not do it. I am innocent!" When Xie Wenbo heard that he was found out, he was so scared that he shouted for justice.
"Do you mean that I have wronged you?" Liang Junhao asked with a smile that mixed with anger.
"That's not what I meant. It's possible that the prince was kept in the dark and deceived by the villain." Xie Wenbo saw Liang Junhao's expression and immediately defended him.
"We were deceived by that traitor. These evidences were personally found by my people. The prince means that my people are traitors." Liang Junhao said.
"No, what I mean is that there are treacherous people who deliberately let the prince's people find out about this so that the prince will misunderstand me and achieve their ulterior motives." Xie Wenbo explained calmly.
"Who is the traitor that the prince is talking about? Please tell me.
Or does the prince mean that my people are traitors and that I want to harm you?" Liang Junhao said coldly.
Even when death is imminent, he still tries to make excuses.
"That's not what I meant." Xie Wenbo was so aggressive towards Liang Junhao that he didn't know how to defend himself.
"Your Majesty, these are the evidence that the Prince of Yan ordered someone to kill me." Liang Junhao took out a stack of papers and presented them to the emperor.
Eunuch Hong took the evidence and handed it to the emperor.
The emperor looked at the evidence above and became furious. He threw the evidence at Xie Wenbo's feet.
"You still dare to say that the prince has wronged you? Take a look at the evidence yourself!" The emperor shouted coldly.
Xie Wenbo and Xie Shuoran picked up the paper on the ground and looked at the evidence on it. Their faces turned pale and ashen, and they trembled!
"Your Majesty, it's unfair! The prince would never do such a thing. Please investigate!" When Prince Yan saw the evidence, he knew that he could not save his son this time, but he still wanted to try to plead for his son.
"Every piece of evidence above points to the Crown Prince, how can this be considered an injustice?
Prince of Yan, are you still going to defend this rebellious son?" the emperor angrily rebuked.
"Your Majesty, the prince is young and ignorant, and he made a mistake in a moment of confusion. Please forgive him this time for the sake of our ancestors who founded the Qingxuan Kingdom. I will discipline him strictly in the future and will not let him make the same mistake again." The King of Yan brought up his ancestors and used morality to blackmail the emperor into letting his son go.
"If it weren't for your ancestors, do you think the prince would still be alive today?
Everything he did in the capital was punishable by death.
Now you still dare to blackmail me, I am really ashamed for your Xie family." The Prince of Yan blackmailed the emperor in front of all the ministers, making the emperor furious and said with contempt.
How could a king of a country not be angry when he was humiliated in front of his ministers?
"Prince Yan keeps saying that the Crown Prince made mistakes because he was confused and young. I wonder if the mistakes Prince Yan made can also be considered due to his young age and ignorance?" Yang Youxue suddenly asked sarcastically.
"How dare you, a village girl, slander me?" King Yan was frightened when he heard Yang Youxue's words. Could it be that what he did was discovered?
"Whether it's slander or not, you'll know after looking at the evidence."
"Your Majesty, I have evidence of Prince Yan's crime here. Please take a look!" Yang Youxue took out a stack of evidence from his sleeve. Eunuch Hong took it and handed it to the emperor.
When the emperor saw the evidence above, he was so angry that he was speechless.
Damn it! He actually secretly recruited soldiers and mined iron ore privately, and used it to make weapons. Is he planning a rebellion?
"Okay! Prince Yan, you are so ambitious. Look at the crimes you have committed. What else can you say?" The emperor said angrily with a cold face.
King Yan picked up the paper on the ground and saw the words on it. His heart skipped a beat and he thought: It's over, it's really over this time!
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. How could she, a village girl, find all these things? She framed me." Prince Yan was still defending himself and throwing dirty water on Yang Youxue, hoping to have a chance to escape.
"The evidence is conclusive. Prince Yan, you still want to quibble? Do you think I'm a fool?" The emperor saw that Prince Yan had no remorse and was throwing dirty water on his daughter-in-law when he was about to die. He wanted to kill him with his own hands.
"Your Majesty, I didn't! Doesn't Your Majesty find it strange?
How could she, a powerless village girl, find out all this?
This is a fabrication she made up to frame me," said the King of Yan.
The ministers were discussing the matter below. Some thought that the King of Yan was right, while others believed that the King of Yan was capable of doing such a thing.
"The King of Yan keeps calling her a village girl. Does he look down on village girls?
Who said that village girls can’t be capable? Is this your rule?
You keep saying that I framed you, but do you have any evidence? Without evidence, I can say that you are slandering me.
Besides, with so many ministers, why would I frame anyone but you? "Yang Youxue analyzed the situation clearly in front of the ministers, forcing them to believe her.
