The emperor was unable to determine the truth for the time being, so he told Cui Shao to "go," and Cui Shao set off again with his guards.
This time, the wait for the results was very long; you could hear the wind howling in the dead of night.
Yan Shizheng was confident that even if the emperor's men searched the Yan family's residence, they would only find evidence of an unusual relationship between him and Prince Xuan.
Ji Mingwei looked furious, as if Yan Shizheng had really kidnapped her cousin and framed her and Xuan Wang.
In short, judging from their behavior, it's impossible to tell who is lying; it seems like everyone is telling the truth.
The Zichen Palace was so quiet that Ye Qingxue could almost hear the passage of time, ticking away like water flowing by.
...
Cui Shao strode in, bringing with him the beautiful young woman, Ruyue.
Ruyue was crying, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Yan Shizheng stared blankly at her, because the girl was not like this when she was in the carriage.
Before Cui Shao could catch his breath, he presented the evidence to the emperor: "Your Majesty, these were all found in a secret compartment in Lord Yan's bedroom."
The evidence was presented to the emperor, spread out on the table in front of him. The emperor looked down at it.
A moment later, he swept the letters on the table to the ground.
Prince Yu and his prime minister rushed forward to check and gasped in shock.
Ye Qingxue and Ji Mingwei went up at the same time and looked at the letters. In the end, Ji Mingwei held the letters and cried and laughed at the same time.
"So it turns out that Lord Yan is a remnant of Prince Ding and Empress Shen! He was the one who colluded with the mountain bandits; he was the one who set fire to the prison and broke the prison; and he was also the one who framed Ye Cunsi, the second son of the Marquis's mansion, for rebellion!"
"He's the one who wanted to get rid of Prince Jing and the Lan family! When things were exposed, he kidnapped my cousin and framed me and Prince Xuan. He's really vicious and his crimes are heinous!"
After speaking angrily, Ji Mingwei pleaded with tears in her eyes, "Father, I beg you, have Yan Shizheng torn to pieces!"
The young girl, Ruyue, burst into tears, heartbroken.
She didn't speak, but her actions told everyone that Yan Shizheng had completely ruined the girl's life.
The emperor's hand, resting on the table, had veins bulging out one by one.
Yan Shizheng's eyes widened, like a fish out of water, struggling desperately on a chopping board.
"It's a trap, it's a trap!" Yan Shizheng stared blankly at the beam above his head.
"Because both Xiangsi Zi and the imperial physician confirmed that the Ninth Prince and Prince Jing were poisoned by 'Floating Dream,' Prince Xuan and Princess Xuan panicked. They asked me to deal with the Lan family so that Princess Jing wouldn't have time to save His Highness Prince Jing..."
"Actually, it was a trap. When I was summoned to the Xuanwang Mansion, I was already set up. They had decided in advance to push me out to take the blame!"
When he said these words, Yan Shizheng did not look at anyone. It was as if he was speaking to himself, not to others.
Hahahaha!
Yan Shizheng burst into laughter.
Unfortunately, he thought he was working for the Xuan King and his wife, and he even dreamed that when the Xuan King ascended the throne, he would become a high-ranking official.
Yan Shizheng's abdominal wound opened up even wider, and the wounds on his limbs were not much better, with blood gushing out. He stopped laughing and gasped for breath, but his breathing was getting weaker and weaker.
There's no way to turn things around.
There is no way to turn things around.
Ji Mingwei continued to berate him: "Yan Shizheng, even on the verge of death you remain stubbornly unrepentant! Fortunately, Father is a wise ruler and will never allow you to slander us!"
Lu An stood among the palace servants and witnessed the entire process. He was already drenched in sweat and his face was completely pale.
...Yan Shizheng did a lot for the Xuanwang couple, but in the end, he not only couldn't save his own life, but now he can't even save his family.
Ji Mingwei knelt down before the emperor again, right next to Yun Xun: "Father, Prince Xuan has never fought or grabbed anything since he was a child. It is truly unfair that he has suffered such an undeserved calamity today. Fortunately, the truth has finally come to light, and it is all thanks to Father's discerning judgment!"
The couple were about to kowtow to the emperor to express their gratitude.
Ye Qingxue stepped forward and stood next to the Xuanwang couple.
Her slender shadow fell on them, and the Xuanwang couple felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, their brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
“Father, Yan Shizheng is not the only one who testified against Prince Xuan and Princess Xuan,” Ye Qingxue said. “Eunuch Lü An, it’s your turn to speak.”
