"Are you okay?" Tian Muhuan reached out to support Ji Xiang who was coughing repeatedly and asked with concern.

Ji Xiang shook his head.

Kou Peilin on the ground was still crying, "It was you who harmed me, you bitch! I want to see the emperor, and I want the emperor to make the decision for me!"

"Before meeting the emperor, Lord Kou should explain why he sent Han Sijin to frame Prince Ning and Miss Jixiang, right?"

Yan Henian's face was cold, and the heart-to-heart talk with Kou Peilin had completely disappeared. He looked more like the selfless Di Renjie.

"Master Yan, are you inferring guilt?"

The third prince Tian Muqiong came over and saluted Kou Peilin, "Grandpa, don't worry, my mother and concubine have already gone to the imperial study to beg my father. I believe you will leave here soon."

"Third Prince." Yan Henian bowed to Tian Muqiong.

"If Mr. Kou really had nothing to do with the murder of Prince Ning and Miss Jixiang, I will clear his name. Now, please follow the procedures of the Dali Temple and bring Mr. Kou to court for questioning."

"Yan He Nian!" Tian Muqiong was angry.

Tian Muhuan smiled faintly, and went over to hold Tian Muqiong's shoulders, "Third brother was too impulsive just now. Lord Yan is the most impartial and good official in our Great Holy Dynasty who handles cases, and he will not wrongly accuse Lord Kou."

As he said this, Tian Muhuan winked at the officer beside him, and the officer immediately stepped forward, picked up Kou Peilin, and took him away.

Kou Peilin was dragged away, but he turned around and shouted, "Second Prince, Lord Yan, I was wronged!"

Tian Muqiong chased after him, "Grandpa, Grandpa, you will be fine."

Seeing that everyone was gone, Jixiang raised her feet and was about to leave, but Tian Muhuan reached out to stop her again.

"Miss Jixiang, can Xiao Wang have a few words with you?"

Ji Xiang was startled, "What does the second prince want to say to my daughter?"

Tian Muhuan looked at Jixiang, his eyes were like a calm lake with rippling waves.

"I just want to help Miss Jixiang."

"Oh?" Ji Xiang was surprised, "How does the second prince plan to help me?"

Tian Muhuan took out a letter from his arms and said, "I think this should be useful to you."

Ji Xiang took the letter, opened it suspiciously and looked at it twice, then looked at Tian Muhuan in shock, "How could the second prince have this letter?"

"It's just a coincidence."

"What kind of coincidence is that?"

"Miss Jixiang should not be concerned about how Xiao Wang got this letter now, but should be concerned about how to use this letter and let it play its due role, right?"

Tian Muhuan looked at Ji Xiang with a smile on his lips.

"Xiao Wang has always looked down on the behavior of ruining a woman's reputation. Just think of me as an injustice." After saying this, Shi Shiran walked away in a relaxed manner.

Ji Xiang was left alone, stunned in place.

The letter was written by the Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty to Kou Peilin. It was the letter that my father hid in Jiang's house on Chunxi Street.

But, how could Tian Muhuan have this letter?

Did he take it from Chunxi Street, or was it given to him by someone else?

Ji Xiang briefly thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he decided to go back home and let Ji Ruian confirm the authenticity of the letter.

After all, if it is to be used as evidence, it must be true.

Ji Xiang and Yan Henian hurried back.

When Ji Ruian saw the letter, his hands were shaking with excitement.

"Yes, that's it, that's it! When I was still at the northwest border, I happened to go to Kou Peilin's camp to look for him that day, and I found this letter."

"Kou Peilin didn't notice that the letter was lost?"

"I found it, I found it very quickly. I also asked me, but I didn't admit it."

Jillian said excitedly.

"How did my father take this letter out of the camp?"

Ji Xiang was really curious. With Kou Peilin's calculating mind, if he found that his letter of colluding with the Yuan Kingdom was missing, he would definitely dig deep to find it.

Ji Ruian was a little embarrassed, "At that time, Kou Peilin asked everyone who came close to the camp not to leave and to search them one by one. I suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain, but Kou Peilin refused to allow me to go to the toilet. Finally, finally..."

Ji Xiang chuckled, "Dad, you are really smart."

"The main reason is that I couldn't hold it in any longer! That's it, Kou Peilin even asked me to take off my shirt and search it again."

Ji Ruian thought about what happened back then and was still a little scared now, "If Kou Peilin had discovered this letter at that time, my life would have been lost by then."

"I understand. He has been thinking about the Ji family all these years, and it has something to do with this letter."

Ji Ruian nodded, "Yes, after we were arrested, Kou Peilin went to see me in the prison and even made insidious questions."

"Then I will accept the letter. When the time comes, this will be the last straw for Kou Peilin."

Ji Ruian nodded and solemnly returned the letter to Ji Xiang, "When the time comes, I can also go to Dali Temple to testify."

"Yes, father will definitely have the opportunity to confront Kou Peilin face to face."

The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled.

But in the Dali Temple hall, Kou Peilin insisted that he had nothing to do with the frame-up of Prince Ning and Miss Jixiang, and said that it was all framed by Jixiang.

And even Han Sijin is fake, it was all pretended by someone from Jixiang.

This Kou Peilin is really full of nonsense.

Yan Henian scratched his head a little, because the emperor arranged for the second prince and the third prince to come over to supervise the trial together, and the third prince was Kou Peilin's nephew. He was watching in the hall, but Yan Henian couldn't use any of his tricks.

There was no other way, Yan Henian had no choice but to whisper to Fu Shoutang, asking him to call Jixiang back quickly.

Tian Muhuan in the hall wanted to laugh when he saw the chirping of the two principals of Dali Temple.

But he tried to hold it back.

However, Tian Muqiong thought that Dali Temple was out of options, and happily watched Kou Peilin nod.

He didn't believe that his dignified third prince would let people from Dali Temple convict his grandfather.

Therefore, as soon as Jixiang arrived in the hall, Tian Muqiong stood up to stop him, "Sir Yan, she is a party involved, and she cannot participate in the trial."

"Third brother..." Tian Muhuan looked at Tian Muqiong, "Logically speaking, third brother shouldn't appear in the hall, right?"

Tian Muqiong was startled. Is the Second Emperor Brother trying to protect good fortune?

He was about to ask Tian Muhuan.

"The second prince is right. It stands to reason that the third prince should also avoid danger." Yan Henian said quickly, hoping that Tian Muqiong would leave quickly.

Their Dali Temple had many tricks for interrogating prisoners, but against Kou Peilin, he had not used any of them.

If Tian Muqiong left at this time, things would be much easier.

However, now that the auspicious girl is here, it seems that Dali Temple's tricks are no longer useful.

"Miss Jixiang, Master Kou said that the things that framed you and Prince Ning were all fabricated. Even Han Sijin was someone you found to pretend to be."

Ji Xiang burst into laughter, "Kou Peilin, did he really say that?"

"Master Yan did not exaggerate." Tian Muhuan said.

"Okay, then let's confirm first whether Han Sijin is real or fake? Master Yan, can you bring Han Sijin up first?"

"Take Han Sijin!"
