After the imperial teacher scribbled on the rice, the character "宁" (Ning) finally came out.
When everyone saw this word, they gasped.
Even in front of the emperor, they couldn't help but whisper: "It's true, it's true, it was really the Seventh Princess's soul coming back just now."
"Who says it's not true? The Seventh Princess died in vain, and she is unwilling to accept it."
This time the emperor had to believe it, because when he sent people to invite the imperial teacher, he specifically instructed that no one was allowed to reveal everything happening in the palace to the imperial teacher, and anyone who violated the rules would be killed.
They were even afraid of mistakes, so they specially sent the eunuch chief to go, so the imperial teacher was definitely not aware of this matter.
The imperial teacher, who was unaware of the situation, was able to identify Chang Ning, which meant that the one just now was really his precious daughter Chang Ning.
Now he only regretted that he had not seized the opportunity to say goodbye to Chang Ning properly.
Hearing that the atmosphere was about right, Ye Qingwan suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed, as if she had resurrected from the dead. Everyone was so scared that they took a step back.
The emperor also looked at her in a daze, with some expectation in his eyes. Maybe the one who woke up this time was also his Chang Ning?
But Ye Qingwan opened her arms towards the Prime Minister: "Dad, I just had a nightmare. It was so scary."
The Prime Minister rushed over and hugged her, patting her back to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, Dad is here."
When the emperor saw this, his eyes dimmed instantly, but he didn't say anything more. After all, the dead can't be resurrected, but even the look in his eyes when he looked at Ye Qingwan was a little bit kind, after all, his daughter had possessed her.
The farce ended here. The emperor made an exception and allowed the prime minister to take Ye Qingwan away, while the others stayed to continue discussing the issue of conferring the title of princess and dealing with Xia Xuejian.
The emperor asked Liu Sheng if he had any evidence to prove that Xia Xuejian killed the Seventh Princess. In fact, Liu Sheng didn't have any, but if he hadn't said that just now, that little ancestor would have beaten the emperor to a pulp.
At this point, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty, according to the investigation by the Royal Guards, someone saw Xia Xuejian roaming around the streets near where the Seventh Princess was murdered that day, behaving suspiciously."
"The most important thing is that Xia Xuejian stayed near the private gun room that day. Not long after she left, the private gun room suddenly exploded. I suspect that it was Xia Xuejian who detonated the private gun room, and the Seventh Princess accidentally discovered it. She was afraid that it would be made public, so she killed people to silence them."
When the emperor heard this, his brows furrowed. How could this matter involve a private brothel?
"Liu Qing means that the explosion of the private gun room was man-made?"
"Your Majesty, the private gun room had been closed for several months before the explosion. If someone hadn't deliberately set the fire, it would never have exploded."
The more the emperor listened, the uglier his expression became. He actually had doubts about why the private gun room suddenly exploded for no reason. Moreover, when the explosion occurred, there was not a single citizen on South Street. It was as if someone had deliberately designed it.
But no matter what, it is not the turn of the daughter of the Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple to detonate the private brothel? Wasn't she entangled with Yun'er? Why did she detonate the private brothel to frame Yun'er?
"Father, there is actually another reason." The Ninth Prince suddenly spoke.
"What's the reason?" the emperor asked him.
The Ninth Prince glanced at Liu Sheng and said, "Xia Xuejian had always been in love with Lord Liu, but later she learned that Lord Liu had been granted a marriage. So she had always held a grudge against the Seventh Sister, and it happened that the Seventh Sister had discovered her affair, so she simply killed her to silence her."
Liu Sheng frowned and looked at the Ninth Prince silently.
What the hell is he talking about?
Although he knew that the Ninth Prince was teasing him on purpose, Liu Sheng did not refute. He could not create any more trouble at this time.
Even the emperor didn't believe this: "What did you say? Xia Xuejian likes Liu Qing? Doesn't she like you?"
"Father, please understand. She approached me only to get information from me. In fact, the person she has always liked is Master Liu. If she really liked me, how could she let everyone know about it? Wouldn't that give her a reason to be criticized?"
Nangong Muyun was really lying with his eyes open. The emperor was shocked and looked at Liu Sheng silently, waiting for him to explain to him.
Liu Sheng glanced at the Ninth Prince indifferently. He was really a toad wearing flowers in his hair, ugly but good-looking.
But he still kowtowed and said, "I am guilty. Miss Xia did express her feelings to me. But I have clearly rejected her. I didn't know that she would vent her anger on the Seventh Princess."
When the emperor heard him admit it himself, he suddenly realized something.
Liu Sheng had already stood on the side of King Xiang. Originally, who would benefit the most from the explosion of the private brothel?
It was obviously Prince Xiang, so Xia Xuejian indirectly helped Prince Xiang eliminate Prince Nine. No wonder Prince Xiang put the blame for the Seventh Princess' death on Ye Qingwan, he was protecting the real murderer.
"Okay, all of you go down." The emperor had completely lost trust in them, so he did not leave the matter to them, for fear that they would make trouble.
As soon as they left, he asked someone to invite the prime minister over and told him what had just happened. After hearing it, the prime minister was completely confused.
This Ninth Prince is quite good at talking nonsense.
"My dear minister, do you think that Prince Xiang and Liu Sheng are aware of this matter?"
"Your Majesty, I can testify for Prince Xiang and Imperial Tutor Liu. Imperial Tutor Liu was seriously injured during the assassination on Chang Street, and Prince Xiang was also fighting bloody battles. They simply could not get away to kill the Seventh Princess."
The emperor felt very strange that the prime minister guaranteed them with all his strength. They were clearly from different factions. Although they were not irreconcilable with each other, they were definitely not friends.
Prince Xiang and Liu Sheng have even been deliberately trying to overthrow him. Why doesn't he take advantage of the opportunity to kill them all in one fell swoop?
The Prime Minister saw the emperor's suspicion and said, "Your Majesty, I do not like Prince Xiang and Master Liu. But as the prime minister of this dynasty, I have sworn to the late emperor that I will be loyal to Dayu forever. I dare not sacrifice public interests for personal reasons."
"Prince Xiang is a rare military talent. With him, the South can be stable. Liu Sheng is the current imperial tutor. He is young and promising. Although he is smooth and not very upright in his actions, he has great vision and is resourceful. With him, the government can be stable."
"I am over 60 years old and my time is running out. The future of Dayu still depends on the younger generation."
The emperor was ashamed by his words, which made him look suspicious and overly suspicious. But he had to admit that every word he said made sense.
The future of Dayu ultimately belongs to these young people.
"In that case, I would like to trouble you to investigate the murder of the Seventh Princess and the explosion of the private gun room."
"I obey your order." The prime minister took the order and left.
Liu Sheng, who had already left the hall, met the state teacher sitting on the corridor at the corner. He said, "You should stop pretending."
He usually pretends to be a decent human being, as if he is a god who has descended to earth. Everyone who sees him would sincerely praise him, saying that he has a fairy-like appearance and is handsome and extraordinary.
In fact, he is the most foolish one.
