"Father, all the lords, please take a close look at the end of each letter and see if there is anything special about the word 'wind' in the signature of the Marquis of Zhenbei?"

Xiao Zhan's reminder made everyone focus on the last character "风" in Lu Changfeng's signature.

"The last word of each family letter is written with great force. It is impossible to write it without years of practice and a solid foundation in calligraphy."

The civil servants had a thorough study of handwriting and could tell at a glance that such handwriting was not something that ordinary people could imitate.

"Look at the letter from Zhaoyi Palace. The strokes are light and the handwriting is erratic. The calligraphy level is far inferior to that in the family letter! It was definitely not written by the same person!" said an official who had studied calligraphy for a long time with certainty.

"Your Majesty, the truth has been revealed! This letter was neither written by Concubine Zhaoyi nor by Marquis Zhenbei, and even the carrier pigeon has nothing to do with Concubine Zhaoyi!

It can be seen from this that the charge of accusing Empress Zhaoyi and Marquis Zhenbei of having an affair is not true at all! Marquis Zhenbei and Empress Zhaoyi are both innocent! "Jiang Xue clasped her hands together, stared at Emperor Beiling with clear eyes, and spoke in a firm and resounding tone!

"Changle's words are well-founded, and I think everything she said is credible. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Bei Ling and asked back.

Every word Jiang Xue said was meaningful. The gold powder on the pigeon's legs and the comparison of the handwriting in the family letter and the letter were all irrefutable evidence. This time, in front of the officials and concubines in the harem, even if Emperor Beiling wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Zhenbei Hou, he could not ignore these evidences.

At this moment, Ye Zhaoyi's eyes were full of unyielding tenacity as she looked up at Emperor Bei Ling.

"My opinion is consistent with my mother's. Princess Gong's words are indeed very convincing."

The evidence was conclusive and in front of everyone, so Emperor Bei Ling could only nod in agreement.

Forget it! There are many ways to deal with Lu Changfeng! Today, let him live a few more days!

Feeling angry, Emperor Bei Ling cast a cold and accusing gaze at the queen beside him. "Waste! Such a good opportunity, but Jiang Xue turned defeat into victory!"

"Since Marquis Zhenbei did not have an affair with Ye Zhaoyi, the death order just now does not need to be executed!" Emperor Bei Ling flicked his sleeves and gave the order harshly.

Jiang Xue finally felt relieved. At least now, her uncle was safe.

"But..." The relaxed atmosphere just now made everyone present tense again because of Emperor Bei Ling's sudden change.

"If neither Zhenbei Hou nor Ye Zhaoyi wrote the letter, then who wrote it?"

"Your Majesty, I think the Empress or Princess Qinwen should know this very well. After all, the gold powder on the pigeon's legs and the inconsistencies in the testimonies all point to them.

Moreover, they concluded that Empress Zhaoyi and Marquis Zhenbei had an affair based on a letter from an unknown source. Such a hasty decision without even doing basic verification really makes people imagine a lot. "

Jiang Xue quickly shifted her firepower and aimed at the two targets who had previously made things difficult for Ye Zhaoyi.

The fingers in Wu Meifeng's sleeves suddenly tightened, and her face turned pale with pain.

"What do you mean, Sister Changle? You don't think that the Queen and I have teamed up to frame the Concubine Zhaoyi, do you?"

She looked so pitiful again, as if she had suffered a great injustice. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Jiang Xue in surprise.

This expression instantly aroused the protective desire of most men present! Bei Linghuang was no exception, he was a member of the large army.

"Qinwen has only been in the palace for a few days. She has nothing to do with Ye Zhaoyi. How could you have the motive to frame her? Changle, I think you are wrongly accusing her." Emperor Bei Ling spoke up to help Wu Meifeng smooth things over.

Humph, this tactic of pretending to be weak and innocent can always trick people into falling for it.

No wonder I couldn't beat her in my previous life. Wu Meifeng's skill in controlling men's minds is quite amazing. I was as naive as a little white rabbit back then, how could I be her opponent!

But now, things are different.

The same tricks, the same moves. If she hasn't learned to grow after going through all the ups and downs in her life, it would be really disappointing.

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. So, if Princess Qinwen is really innocent, then the only suspect seems to be the Empress? This makes sense. After all, Princess Qinwen is just a messenger, and the real decision maker is the Empress.

Judging from the carrier pigeon, it is possible that the letter really came from the Queen's palace. In this case, the Queen arranged a play by herself and played the emperor in the palm of her hand. Where did she put the emperor's face?"

Jiang Xue followed the words of Emperor Bei Ling and emphasized Wu Meifeng's innocence and the Queen's suspicion, planting a thorn in the Queen's heart. If the Queen was punished for this, she would definitely put the blame on Wu Meifeng!

Who made her only care about protecting herself in the critical moment and leave the queen aside?

"Queen, do you admit your guilt?" Emperor Bei Ling asked sternly with a cold face.

Jiang Xue’s last sentence hit his sore spot. The dignity of the emperor cannot be violated!

First, he abolished Ye Zhaoyi's position and threw her into the inner court to suffer. Then he clamored for the Marquis of Zhenbei to commit suicide, making the matter known to everyone.

Now things have taken a 180-degree turn, and the previous punishment and anger have become a joke! After losing face like this, Emperor Bei Ling naturally has to find someone to take the blame, so as to save his imperial dignity!

Since he personally exonerated Wu Meifeng, then this hat can only be worn by the Queen!

Of course the queen understood this truth. She had to take the blame whether she wanted to or not!

Once she is blamed for this, she will face a heavy blow!

The Queen at this moment, just as Jiang Xue had expected, hated Wu Meifeng to the core!

This vixen played tricks at a critical moment, making the emperor only help her to clear her relationship, but pushed Su Yushu to the cusp of the storm! Originally thought this woman was easy to control, but I didn't expect her to be so scheming!

"I plead guilty. As the mistress of the six palaces, I should be careful with my words and actions, but I made hasty conclusions based on a letter and jumped to conclusions without verification!

Misleading His Majesty, deceiving His Majesty, wrongly accusing the concubines, and causing Ye Zhaoyi to suffer for no reason, is really a dereliction of duty and a betrayal of the Emperor's trust! I am willing to accept any punishment, and I only ask that Sister Ye Zhaoyi can forgive my momentary recklessness, and I ask the Emperor not to implicate others because of my personal fault! "

No matter how much hatred and resentment she felt in her heart, the Queen's only choice now was to plead guilty! To preserve the dignity of the Emperor Bei Ling!

In this way, Emperor Bei Ling might not take action against the Su family because of her understanding, leaving a way out for himself.

Seeing the Queen confessing her guilt according to his own script, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in Emperor Bei Ling's eyes.

As long as she pleaded guilty, he would not change her position as queen.

After all, he still needs the support of the Su family.
