Chapter 433 She is not afraid at all
The three children were very well behaved. They just watched quietly without whispering or discussing anything.
Of course, not afraid.
With their mother behind them, they felt at ease.
Just watch the show.
Suddenly, the Grand Master's gaze shifted towards Jiang Lianzhu. He mouthed to her, "Doctor Jiang, you've made an indelible contribution to the success of our Baihua Tower today! I underestimated you. If you hadn't been involved, ruining my plans so many times, how could our Baihua Tower have reached this point?"
Only Jiang Lianzhu could understand this.
Jiang Lianzhu happened to know lip reading, so she retorted, "You were the ones who provoked me first. You wanted to hunt down my cub, so how could I not resist? Even a rabbit bites when it's angry. What's the matter, Master Imperial Master? Do you think you are the kings of heaven who have come down to earth to bully others, and they can't resist?"
The Imperial Master cast a sullen look, "Don't get complacent yet. Someone will come looking for you. This deity's death will not be in vain. Is a hidden sect so great? Who doesn't have some background behind them? Doctor Jiang, aren't you curious about who taught this deity to cultivate a cauldron?"
Jiang Lianzhu felt a chill in her heart.
However, she was not timid at all.
"Just because I'm curious, you'll tell me? I'm not afraid of anyone coming!"
"Alright, you're ruthless. The winner is the king, the loser is the enemy. I admit defeat."
Liao Jiu was always paying attention to Jiang Lianzhu's movements. He noticed the interaction between Jiang Lianzhu and the National Master and frowned.
At this moment, everyone in the hall came to their senses from their stunned state.
"I didn't expect that the Second Princess was actually the mastermind behind this. The Second Princess is so ambitious!!"
"This damn Imperial Master never leaves home all day, acting so mysteriously. I knew something was wrong with him. Over the years, he's been rumored to be quite extraordinary..."
"The evidence is there, yet the Second Princess refuses to admit it. She's relied on the Imperial Master for so many years, and her fame stems from him. They've known each other for so long, and no one would believe her if she said they weren't collaborating."
"How did Baihua Tower recover so quickly? It turns out it was the Second Princess's help... The Second Princess actually wants to be the Empress! This ambition is too big! Our Da'an Kingdom has never had an Empress in its history. How can a mere woman be expected to lead the government?"
…
Now there is a lot of discussion.
Liao Jiu shouted loudly, "Be quiet!"
Everyone fell silent.
Even the second princess stopped crying.
Liao Jiu asked the people from the Three Law Department, "Where did you catch him? Is he really the owner of Baihua Tower?"
The Third Law Commissioner frowned. "We've been running for over ten miles on the path outside the city. We were searching by scent. Inspired by you, didn't you use the spirit cauldron to find the location of the Mother Cauldron? Didn't Mao Shurong explode last night? We brought the Six Gates' military dogs and used the scent of Mao Shurong to find it! This spirit cauldron scent connected us to other people, and we not only found the Imperial Master, but also the bodies of several other branch leaders."
The military dogs refer to Xue Da, Xue Er and Xue San.
They are particularly useful for finding people and things.
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Master's expression was filled with regret. "So that's how you found me. It's true that the spiritual cauldron is both my success and my failure. The Mother Cauldron was raised by me. If I hadn't been severely injured by the Mother Cauldron's backlash, I would have fled the territory of Da'an Kingdom long ago."
The commander of the Imperial Guards reported again, "Your Majesty, we have also tracked Concubine Liang's palace with our military dogs, which proves that Concubine Liang has indeed come into contact with the spirit bowl."
The second princess felt dizzy before her eyes.
"Father, I am wronged!!"
This is almost irrefutable evidence.
Xuan Huang threw the cup in front of him to the ground.
Xuan Huang said in an extremely disappointed tone, "Xuan Yue, how can you explain?! You disappoint me so much!"
The Second Princess embraced Concubine Liang and said, "Father, I have never had such a terrible thought. I learned the art of mechanical engineering only to assist my younger brother, the Crown Prince, and to ensure that our Great An Kingdom prospers and enjoys a hundred years of peace and prosperity. I have never thought of becoming an empress, nor have I ever poisoned the First Prince or Prince Xiang. Father, if you do not believe in me, I am willing to die to prove my loyalty!"
At this moment, the Queen Mother and the Prince arrived.
As soon as she arrived, she knelt before Emperor Xuan, "Your Majesty, a lot of dead insects and snakes were found in the East Palace where our Crown Prince lives today. Could he have been poisoned? I beg Your Majesty to save our Crown Prince's life. He is still young! The Second Princess often comes to our Crown Prince's East Palace. Our Crown Prince is young and has no sense of defense. I beg Your Majesty to save his life..."
Jiang Lianzhu looked at the prince, who looked only about ten years old, with a smart appearance and a look of fear on his face.
He also knelt down and sobbed, "Father, my second sister... my second sister..."
Xuan Huang asked, "What about her? What did she do to you?"
The prince wiped his tears and whispered, "Every time my second sister came to see me, she said she wanted to test my homework. If I made a mistake, she would call me stupid. She said if I was so stupid, how could she dare to hand over the Da'an Kingdom to me in the future? My second sister was very fierce when she spoke. Once, my second sister even asked me that if I couldn't become the emperor, I should let her take over..."
Everyone was shocked.
"Second Princess, you are indeed ambitious!!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, from what I've heard, the Second Princess seems to be trying to win over the court officials. Every year she gives gifts to the officials she likes."
"The Second Princess's maternal family used to be in business, so they were quite wealthy! Later, it was said that they dug up several gold mines, were granted the title of Imperial Merchant, and were exempted from taxes, all of which were used to fund the Second Princess' Imperial Master's mechanical engineering project... It seems like there's something fishy going on!"
When the Second Princess heard the Crown Prince's words, she screamed, "Xuan Ye! You're talking nonsense! I did scold you for not studying well, but I never said I wanted to be the Empress. I was just worried that our Da'an Kingdom wouldn't be strong enough in the future, so I studied mechanical engineering every day. I wanted to help you, Xuan Ye, but you wanted to harm me. I'm your biological sister!"
Jiang Lianzhu crossed her arms and said, "This prince's name is Xuanye!"
His eyes were a little evasive, but his words should not be completely false, they might be a mixture of true and false.
Looking at the Queen again, she was like a frightened bird, shielding the Crown Prince behind her. "You may not have said it, but that's what you meant. Xuanyue, the last time you and Imperial Physician Zhang went to the border to get medicine for the Emperor, something went wrong. Luckily the medicine ran away, otherwise, who knows if it would have been the real thing or a fake one... If anything happened to the Emperor, you would have killed us, mother and son!"
Hearing this, the unconscious Concubine Liang suddenly woke up.
Concubine Liang cursed, "Empress, you are slandering me. If you have anything to say, come to me. Don't blame it all on our Yue'er. Our Yue'er is usually a bit strong and offends many people, but our Yue'er is sincere to her father. Heaven and earth, sun and moon can bear witness to it."
