When everyone heard the word "treason", they immediately became nervous, and even the emperor jumped up and down when he heard it.

"Ye Qingwan, the matter of treason is of great importance, so don't make false statements."

Some of the Ninth Prince's supporters finally reacted and began to bombard Ye Qingwan.

"That's right, the child is talking nonsense. Your Majesty, I beg you to sentence Ye Qingwan to death."

"I second the motion."

Yo yo yo, they are anxious, anxious, they are anxious.

I didn't expect that this stupid prince has so many supporters. It turns out that the male protagonist's halo is invincible.

The Ninth Prince must be very lonely, right? !

Seeing everyone's reaction, Ye Qingwan was already delighted. "Ninth Prince, please explain quickly, stop quibbling and bombard me."

But the Ninth Prince was like a mountain, with his hands tucked into his sleeves on both sides, looking at her silently without saying a word.

There was even a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Ye Qingwan:? ?

What do you mean, little brother?

Why don't you explain it?

You have been wrongly accused of treason, shouldn't you jump up and hit me?

Why do you look like you're enjoying a good show? If you look like this, someone who doesn't know would think I'm plotting a rebellion.

Forget it, forget it. Ye Qingwan knew he was useless, so she didn't wait for him and directly used the next line: "Ninth Prince, I already have enough evidence, don't try to quibble and deny it."

Ninth Prince:? ?

The king is not denying it, is he?

Are you waiting for your performance without saying anything?

You start.

Seeing that he still didn't speak, Ye Qingwan felt as if she was in a difficult situation. The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

But now that things had come to this, she could only bite the bullet and quickly said, "Your Majesty, the criminal has witnesses."

"Who?" The emperor finally couldn't sit still anymore.

"He is the chief steward of the Ninth Prince's Mansion."

When the ministers saw that it was true, they hurried to stop him: "Your Majesty..."

But the emperor ignored him and said directly: "Announce."

The eunuch then stretched out his voice: "Announce..."

The butler walked in tremblingly, and as soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his eyelids.

After kowtowing to the emperor, he tremblingly recited the words Ye Qingwan had taught him, and at the same time presented the emperor with the secret letter that stated that the Ninth Prince was colluding with foreign nations.

The emperor took it and looked at it. His tense spirit seemed to relax all of a sudden, and his tone was much more relaxed: "What's your explanation?"

The Ninth Prince then slowly knelt down and said, "Father, I am innocent."

He looked so reluctant. If this matter didn't involve his life and property, he probably wouldn't even bother to cry out for injustice.

He was not in a hurry, but his supporters were. They all knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. We must not be careless."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The Ninth Prince is kind, filial and generous. He would never do such a rebellious thing. Your Majesty, please understand."

Faced with such loud calls, the emperor's expression, which had originally improved, suddenly turned livid.

He looked at the ministers who were kneeling in the hall, almost one-third of them, and then slowly turned his head to look at his son who had already grown up.

Unconsciously, he had gained such a high prestige in the court, so high that he was almost on par with the prime minister and Liu Sheng.

In recent years, the emperor has been busy building up new forces to fight against the prime minister, and his mind was completely focused on the prime minister. He did not notice that his good son had already achieved such a success.

The emperor's eyes were turning all the time. In that short moment, he thought a lot, and his mind was both confused and clear.

What is confusing is how this son went from being an unpopular prince to where he is today.

What is clear is that his good son has gradually developed the qualities of an emperor and is beginning to pose a threat to his imperial power.

Ye Qingwan's unintentional revelation made him see a different kind of son.

One third of the ministers in the court knelt on the ground, but the emperor just stared at the Ninth Prince and was slow to speak, which made them feel very unsure. They looked at each other, but dared not say a word.

The Ninth Prince gave a mocking smile, knowing that his father had become suspicious, or had begun to notice him and was wary of him.

Look, this is the imperial power, this is the royal father and son.

They were a loving mother and filial son yesterday, but today they are suspicious of each other because they realize that the other party's strength is beyond their control.

The love between father and son is worthless in the face of imperial power.

"Detain them both first, and make a decision after the matter is investigated." The emperor finally spoke.

He is not stupid. How stupid can he be when he can be an emperor?

Ye Qingwan's accusation was so low that it could not even be considered as evidence. He could tell the truth from the falsehood at a glance. But she reminded me that my son was no longer the toddler who walked crookedly.

“Your Majesty…” The ministers wanted to plead for mercy, but the emperor blocked them all with a gesture: “Lord Liu, this matter is under your full responsibility. You must investigate it thoroughly.”

The four words "thoroughly investigate" had a strange tone. There was no gnashing of teeth, but on the contrary, it was very calm, so calm that there was not a single ripple, as if he was a statue without emotions.

Liu Sheng received the order, took the letter of accusation, and read it with a frown.

This letter of denunciation is really down-to-earth. It doesn't say anything at the beginning. It just starts by saying that if you help me seize the throne, I will share the world with you.

Alas, Ye Qingwan, you are a vicious female villain, can you please be more careful?

Liu Sheng actually felt disappointed with his success, but Ye Qingwan not only caused a lot of trouble for the Ninth Prince, but also couldn't deal with him anymore.

Such a fake letter of denunciation is obviously a false accusation, but the emperor actually asked him to investigate it thoroughly. What is he investigating? It is obviously fake at first glance?

What else does the emperor want him to find out? This is clearly giving him a hard time!

The Ninth Prince and Ye Qingwan were imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice together. Since the Ninth Prince was a prince, he should have lived in the No. 1 cell, but he refused and insisted on living next to Ye Qingwan.

After the two times when Ye Qingwan came and went freely, the people in the Ministry of Justice have already figured out the situation. These big shots come to live here just to experience life, and they might be released in a couple of days.

Therefore, they did not dare to neglect the Ninth Prince and Ye Qingwan. They could live wherever they wanted. As long as they did not run away, everything else could be discussed.

"Are you satisfied now? I will go to jail with you."

"You deserve it. Who told you to rebel?"

"Just keep pretending." The Ninth Prince exposed her directly: "It's obvious that you deliberately framed me."

"Yes, I did frame you." Ye Qingwan didn't hide it anymore. Oh my god, you finally asked me questions. I haven't had time to say a lot of lines in the original novel.

If you had cooperated earlier, this scene would have been completed.

You useless guy, look at the male lead of the crew next door, he has already finished work and gone home to eat, yet you are still dawdling.
