Seeing that the young marquis of the Xie family was embarrassed, Hongxiu was kind enough to take over the conversation and explain.

"Reporting to His Highness, the thing under Li Si, the nephew of Concubine Jia, was smashed. I heard that when Li Si was found by the servants of the Li family, his thing was bloody and his breath was weak."

A Bao was shocked.

Hong Xiu continued, "Your Highness was unconscious a few days ago, so you didn't know. The old lady of the Li family took the palace card of the Yilan Palace and went to the palace to ask for help from Concubine Jia. That night, Concubine Jia went to the Imperial Medical Bureau in person and ordered the old imperial physician to rush to the Li family to save people."

A Bao was surprised and asked, "What happened next?"

Hongxiu didn't know that Abao and Li Si had a feud, so she just told Abao about it as a palace anecdote.

"Li Siren was saved, but I heard from the little doctor who accompanied us that night that Li Siren is now no more useful than a castrated eunuch."

A Bao was stunned and blinked at Xie Wuai opposite him.

What I mean is, brother Xie, you are still the cruel one!

Xie Wuai, however, looked innocent, and shrugged with his hands spread out.

What I mean is, sister, I am so simple and kind, I don’t know anything.

Ah Bao was even more puzzled. "Hong Xiu, is there any rumor about which hero purified Master Li Si's virginity?"

Hong Xiu thought for a moment and said, "It has spread throughout the palace in the past few days."

"Empress Jia cried and begged Your Majesty to seek justice, saying that it was because Minister Li pleaded for the people and offended important officials in the court, so someone hired someone to murder Li Si and make the Li family extinct."

Ah Bao had something to say to Xie Wuai in private, so he said, "Hong Xiu, go check on the lunch preparations."

Hongxiu understood, turned around and left the inner hall, closing the door considerately.

"Where is the petition signed and sealed by Li Si?"

Xie Wuai threw the peeled peanuts into his mouth, "As soon as Minister Li found the crime in Li Si, he immediately burned it."

A Bao immediately understood.

He was afraid that once Minister Li had determined the guilt and burned the evidence, there would be no real evidence for Li Si's actions, so he acted recklessly and instigated Concubine Li Jia to cry to the old emperor.

Concubine Li Jia deliberately covered up the castration of Li Si as a murder committed by an enemy in the court, creating the illusion that Minister Li was upright and loyal to the emperor, even sacrificing his only son.

A Bao lowered his eyes and hesitated.

After a while, she asked Xie Wuai again, "Do you have a backup of the evidence?"

Xie Wuai said proudly, "Of course! It's so difficult to collect evidence these days. If we finally find it, we must keep a backup plan. This is what you taught me, sister."

Since the evidence has not been destroyed, Abao is unwilling to fulfill Li Jiafei's plan.

"I will write out the indictment from memory later. You take it and secretly find some people to copy it and spread it all over the streets and alleys of the imperial capital. Remember, use the most ordinary and cheapest paper and ink. Don't let Gu Qijue unravel the mystery and find you from the paper and ink."

"Also, keep Miss Shixi's name secret and don't let anyone know."

Xie Wuai patted his chest and said firmly: "I will do the job, don't worry, there will be no mistakes!"

After saying this, Xie Wuai choked up under A Bao's suspicious gaze.

He felt wronged and angry, clutching the melon seeds, and said, "Sister! This is not my fault! I saw the government soldiers coming out and bringing in Li Si! Who knew a hero would appear from nowhere, doing good deeds without leaving a name!"

Hearing this, A Bao pondered, as if thinking about something.

At this time, Lu Lang reported at the palace gate, "Your Highness, King Feng Ran has sent you something."
