The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Wei Chen was secretly delighted, this trick really worked!

Of course, Wei Chen has indeed become his future son-in-law.

He crossed over to the enemy side and became part of the same evil group as that little witch.

Emperor Qian Yao looked at Qian Wushang with his deep black eyes, or rather, from the very beginning.

Emperor Qian Yao's eyes never left his son.

After a long while, there was a hint of pressure in his voice. Now that he opened his mouth, the first sentence he said was not to interrogate Wei Chen.

Instead, he asked Qian Wushang: "How do you explain what Duke Jingguo said?"

The person who was caught in the assassination attempt late at night was obviously Duke Jingguo. The victim was Princess Mingnuo who was not present because she was frightened.

Qian Wushang is the person who rescued the man and also the witness who appealed on his behalf.

Instead of trying the suspect, they questioned the witnesses.

Zhou Gaoyang raised his head and took a quick look at Emperor Qianyao and Prince Sheng, who was confronting him and was not at a disadvantage.

He sighed in his heart and stepped back inconspicuously.

Qian Wushang seemed not to have expected that he would let Wei Chen go without questioning him and instead question him.

But he was not panicked, and replied clearly: "I did go to protect Princess Mingnuo."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Chen immediately shouted: "You really conspired with that witch!

Prince Sheng, I am your uncle. Linlang has always admired you!

That evil woman harmed Linlang so much, and you still protected her?

Prince Sheng, you have been bewitched by beauty!"

Wei Chen was heartbroken and blamed everything on Qian Wushang and Leng Xinmo.

There was a more sinister look on Emperor Qianyao's face.

Qian Wushang didn't even glance at Duke Jingguo: "I did go to protect Princess Mingnuo.

But it is not as Duke Jingguo analyzed, that he was conspiring with Princess Mingnuo.

I don't even know why Duke Jingguo would be so confused.

Breaking into the princess's mansion late at night to assassinate her."

Wei Chen wanted to change the subject, but Qian Wushang brought it back.

"Since you don't know anything, why did you suddenly go to protect Princess Mingnuo?"

Emperor Qian Yao did not believe Qian Wushang's words.

Qian Wushang looked directly at Emperor Qian Yao, and he keenly felt that his father had been thinking about the assassination of Wei Chen in the Princess's Mansion from the very beginning.

He seemed to be more concerned about whether there was really someone conspiring with Princess Mingnuo.

But why?

Qian Wushang lowered his eyes, hiding the doubt in his eyes.

What the emperor really cares about is the grandmother behind Leng Xinmo?

Or, was it this woman named Leng Xinmo?

“It was I who asked Wushang to go to the Princess’ Residence to protect the child Mingnuo!

What? The Emperor and Duke Jingguo also thought... that I was conspiring with Mingnuo?"

Then, an angry voice came from the door of the hall.

Empress Dowager Duanrong walked in with the support of Nanny Qi.

"Meet the Queen Mother..."

"Mother...why are you here?"

When Emperor Qianyao saw the angry face of Empress Dowager Duanrong, he immediately got down from his seat.

"Humph!"

Empress Dowager Duanrong is now filled with anger:

"If I don't come again, I'm afraid the emperor will do whatever he wants again!

Without asking right from wrong, he led his troops into the princess's residence in the middle of the night to assassinate the royal princess bestowed by His Majesty.

Being caught red-handed, so brazen. Such an obvious thing, and caught red-handed.

What else does your majesty want to ask?

Are you planning to excuse your loyal minister again? "

Empress Dowager Duanrong was already dissatisfied with Emperor Qianyao's handling of the incident at the palace banquet.

Afterwards, Mingnuo was seriously injured again, and the person who seriously injured Mingnuo was most likely this Duke Jingguo.

What’s worse, if they fail to kill the enemy the first time, they will come a second time!

It's simply outrageous.

"Mother, calm down. I have no intention of shielding anyone. I just want to find out the cause of the incident."

Emperor Qianyao spoke gently to Empress Dowager Duanrong.

"It's just that I have something I want to ask my mother."

Emperor Qianyao humbled himself, and Empress Dowager Duanrong looked better and nodded.

Emperor Qianyao asked: "Why did the Queen Mother say that it was you who asked the child Wushang to protect Princess Mingnuo?

If you want to protect people, just send more guards, that's all."

Queen Mother Duanrong had a surprised expression on her face, and her words were also filled with a hint of complaint:

“You also know that Mingnuo was seriously injured.

When I went to see her that day, I thought of transferring some imperial guards to the Princess's Mansion.

Ming Nuo would never agree!"

Imperial Guards?

The corner of Emperor Qianyao’s eye twitched: It’s normal to disagree.

Empress Dowager Duanrong continued, "I was worried, so I asked Wushang to personally protect Mingnuo.

Originally, Mingnuo was Wushang's savior.

It is only natural to protect your savior."

After listening to Empress Dowager Duanrong's explanation, Emperor Qianyao's doubts were greatly reduced.

He glanced at Qian Wushang, who had been keeping his head down since the empress dowager came in.

He turned to Wei Chen again and narrowed his eyes: "Duke Jingguo! You are so brave to assassinate the princess."

The obvious murderous intent in Emperor Qianyao made Wei Chen tremble uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I, your Majesty, was really impulsive. It was this demon..."

Wei Chen looked at Empress Dowager Shang Duanrong coldly, stuttered, and said:

“It was Princess Mingluo who framed me first. She not only harmed Linlang.

He also framed an old minister, who was so loyal that he fought with all his might to defeat the Guyue Kingdom.

How can I allow this woman to slander the glory of my life like this!

Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"

"Shut up! You still dare to confuse right and wrong and confuse people.

This means that Princess Nuo has slandered and framed you. What evidence do you have? "

Empress Dowager Duanrong shouted angrily.

“Yes, this old minister found out that the rumor came from Princess Mingnuo’s mansion.

If not her, then who else? Moreover, since this Princess Mingnuo appeared in Fengyao.

Don't always target my Duke Jingguo Mansion and go against my old minister's daughter Linlang.

It is not enough to frame Linlang, but you also want to frame my wife. I have been loyal to you all my life! Your Majesty..."

A dignified duke actually started to throw a tantrum, shocking everyone.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report..." Gu Jingxuan stepped forward and said.

"Ah! Gu... Damn it!"

Zhou Gaoyang failed to stop Gu Jingxuan, who stepped out of the corner, and cursed in his heart.

Emperor Qianyao looked at Gu Jingxuan, who was serious, and his expression relaxed. He said, "Gu Qing, what's the matter?"

Gu Jingxuan spoke calmly and calmly, "According to my investigation, I have learned that

In recent days, there has been a rumor that the reason why Duke Jingguo defeated the Guyue Kingdom was because Princess Zhuxing stole the Guyue Kingdom's military deployment map.

On the surface, the news came from Princess Mingnuo's mansion, but in reality, someone was secretly operating to frame the princess.

The purpose must be to arouse the suspicion of the Duke of Jingguo towards Princess Mingnuo, so as to retaliate...

The words were not fully said, but the meaning was very clear and the method was not too clever.

It just so happened that Duke Jingguo came on the road.

Wei Chen's face turned extremely ugly. No matter how dumb he was, he realized that he had fallen into someone else's trap.

But, is this trap set by that bitch Leng Xinmo, or?

Wei Chen stared at the cold Qian Wushang with a vicious look.

Emperor Qian Yao's eyes swept over everyone.

He turned sideways again and saw the Empress Dowager sitting next to him, urging him with her eyes.

Finally, it fell on Wei Chen, who was kneeling in the hall, and said:

"Duke Jingguo Wei Chen gathered the palace soldiers and broke into Princess Mingnuo's residence at night with the intention of assassinating her. He is so audacious and reckless that he deserves death!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty..."

Wei Chen's heart trembled, and he was so scared that he immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Emperor Qian Yao looked at the panicked Wei Chen, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Your Majesty... Madam Jingguo and Master Wei request an audience..."
