A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Xian Fei squatted in front of Princess Yongjia and said, "Your Highness, it's not His Majesty's fault that he's angry this time. You've gone too far in this matter. For a man, you've harmed your own sister."

While she was speaking, Concubine Xian pretended to help Princess Yongjia up.

When no one was paying attention, he whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't worry, I will definitely save your life and Chaoyun's life. Detain him first, and I will take care of the rest."

"Try to put the blame on Li Jingchuan for this matter."

Princess Yongjia looked at Concubine Xian, as if wondering whether this was the truth.

The virtuous concubine nodded solemnly, indicating that she could rest assured.

After comforting Princess Yongjia, Concubine Xian stood up again to persuade Emperor Xuande.

Please ask him to save his sister's life for the sake of being a close relative of the royal family.

Princess Yongjia also calmed down at this time and began to think about what Concubine Xian said.

She and Li Jingchuan were kneeling next to each other. Before she could speak, she suddenly looked at Li Jingchuan deeply.

After all, they had been married for more than 20 years, and Li Jingchuan immediately understood what she meant.

Princess Yongjia then cried, "Brother, please believe me. I really didn't kill Sister Yongning."

"At that time, Li Jingchuan went in and asked Sister Yongning about the child. Although Sister Yongning did not admit it, from Li Jingchuan's words, I could tell that there seemed to be something unclear between them."

"But...but in order to make me feel at ease, Li Jingchuan actually killed me when I questioned Sister Yongning."

"Brother, I brought the War King to the capital not only to let Li Jingchuan gain merit, but also for your own good. As long as the War King is not dead, he will become a threat to you sooner or later."

"Brother, please consider our brotherhood and let me clear the way for you."

"But I swear to heaven, I really didn't kill Sister Yongning."

Princess Yongjia knew that what really touched the emperor's bottom line was her killing of Yongning.

As for King Zhan, the Emperor wishes he were dead.

As long as she can clear the suspicion in Yongning's death, it won't be difficult for her to keep her life.

Li Jingchuan knew Princess Yongjia's plan, but he had no intention of exposing it. If someone had to pay for Princess Yongning's life, he hoped that person would be him.

They have been married for half their lives, and they also have a daughter. He would rather take on all these things himself and save his wife and daughter.

So after Princess Yongjia finished speaking, Li Jingchuan immediately said, "I am sorry for Princess Yongning in this matter. At that time, I only thought about how to ask for Yongjia's forgiveness, so I was ruthless to Princess Yongning."

Li Chaoyun looked at his mother in disbelief. Was his mother putting all the blame on his father just to save her own life?

The corners of her lips twitched, and she wanted to say something, but then she shut up at her mother's warning look.

Emperor Xuande looked at Princess Yongjia and Li Jingchuan inquiringly, "Is what you said true?"

Princess Yongjia was delighted. Based on her understanding of the emperor, the fact that he asked this question showed that he was somewhat moved.

When the time comes, the virtuous concubine and the prince will help her again. Although she won't be as glorious as before, at least she can save her life.

She hurriedly replied, "Brother, what I said is absolutely true. I would never dare to lie to you."

Shen Zhixiu raised his eyelids slightly, "There is only one thing I don't understand. The Li family sent a false message to the palace that year, saying that His Royal Highness Prince Zhan massacred Princess Yongning's villa."

"Weren't they already prepared to massacre the other courtyard?"

Princess Yongjia quickly explained: "That was just to make my brother determined to strangle the King of War, not to really put Sister Yongning to death."

Shen Zhixiu didn't say anything else. No matter what the emperor thought at this moment, it could not change the outcome of the Li family's demise.

After Princess Yongjia finished speaking, Emperor Xuande lowered his head and thought without saying anything.

Just when Princess Yongjia wanted to speak again and ask for the emperor's complete forgiveness, Su Yuanzhou walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a box in his hands and a stern face.

"Your Majesty, when I was detaining the Li family, I discovered something else."

"This is a matter of great importance. I can only return to the palace to report immediately."

Princess Yongjia looked at Su Yuanzhou in confusion, not knowing what he meant.

Are you trying to say that you found gold, silver and treasures in the Li family?

She was not afraid of this, as she was a princess of a country, and her family's wealth was not a big deal. Besides, most of the Li family's wealth had been given to the prince.

Emperor Xuande looked at Su Yuanzhou in confusion, "What happened?"

Su Yuanzhou handed the box in his hand to Hu Lu, then opened the lid, revealing a statue of a human-faced Bodhisattva.

Emperor Xuande suddenly stood up, walked forward step by step, and put his hand on the Buddha's body, "Zi Ning..."

Su Qingyu, who was sitting in the Grand Prince's room, subconsciously looked at Concubine Chen. At this moment, Concubine Chen was looking at the scene in front of her with embarrassment.

Although he tried his best to hide it, his expression was extremely ugly.

Even though she knew that she was a substitute for the late queen, for some reason, she still felt a little sad.

Neither Song Zan, the Marquis of Loyalty, nor Song Hongshen looked up, for Song Zan was afraid that he would not be able to hold back and curse out loud on the spot.

The more affectionate and loyal the emperor showed, the angrier he became.

After a long while, when Emperor Xuande calmed down, Su Yuanzhou said, "Your Majesty, this Buddha statue was found in the dark room under the Li family's Buddhist hall."

When it was found, not only was it covered with a lot of filth, but there were also many paper ghosts around the Buddha's body. It was as if the Buddha's body was trapped in a formation.

Su Yuanzhou's words were partly true and partly false. But he was not lying. Before the Buddha left the Li family, it was exactly what he described.

Princess Yongjia, who had just felt a glimmer of hope, felt her heart sink to the bottom again.

How could Su Yuanzhou know these things?

She raised her head in horror. If the emperor believed him, she would have no chance of survival.

At this moment, Emperor Xuande's expression had changed. "What did you say? Are you telling the truth?"

Su Yuanzhou nodded in grief and indignation, "I have not lied a word. The late queen has passed away, but they did not even spare her Buddha body and humiliated her like this. If we do not punish them severely today, it will not be enough to comfort the spirit of the late queen in heaven."

The Song family father and son knew about these things a few days ago. This is also the reason why the Song family agreed to invite the late queen's body out, so that Princess Yongjia and the Li family would receive the punishment they deserved.

But even though they already knew it, when they heard Su Yuanzhou talk about it again, the father and son still had gloomy faces.

The wine glass in Song Zan's hand fell directly to the ground, "Your Majesty, your royal family is going too far."

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent. Everyone present dared not breathe, thinking that the Marquis of Loyalty was too bold.

But what Song Zan said was also from his heart. His sister's death was directly related to this emperor. Now that his sister is dead, they still won't let her go. Are they bullying the Song family because there is no one there?

Emperor Xuande was not angry at Song Zan's words. He looked at Song Zan with a sullen face and said, "Don't worry, Marquis Zhongyi. I will definitely give you an explanation for the Song family today."

After comforting Song Zan, Emperor Xuande walked towards the main hall, stood in front of Princess Yongjia, and looked down at her.

The voice was so cold that it chilled people's bones. "Tell me, what happened? What did you do?"
