After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

Ying Kaiyuan narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "If you tell me the name of this person, I will forgive your sins and help you pay back the loan shark, okay?"

Zhao Qian's eyes lit up, then he frowned again and said with some doubt: "Are you telling the truth?"

"A gentleman's word is as good as gold." Ying Kaiyuan said with a smile.

Zhao Qian then spoke: "That eunuch was originally good friends with my uncle, his name was Jiao Guangxian, and the middle-aged eunuch I met later was called Jie Ren. They forced me to do this assassination together. The picture was drawn for me by Jie Ren."

"I understand. I will check it out. Before that, you just wait in this prison." Ying Kaiyuan said and left.

He hurriedly sent people to capture Zhao Qian's uncle Zhao Guanqun and arrested him.

Zhao Guanqun arrived at the Ministry of Justice and sat on a black wooden chair with his hands already chained.

"name?"

"Zhao Guanqun."

"Where are you?"

"I'm from Heyang."

"Do you know the eunuch Jiao Guangxian?"

"..."

"Do you know the eunuch Jiao Guangxian?" Ying Kaiyuan repeated the question.

Zhao Guanqun did not answer.

"Are you expecting a small eunuch like him to rescue you from the prison of the Ministry of Justice? Don't joke, how could he have such a great ability?" Ying Kaiyuan said.

Zhao Guanqun closed his eyes and said nothing.

"Your nephew has already confessed. Now I'm just giving you a chance to confess and get a lighter sentence. It's fine if you don't say anything." Ying Kaiyuan said.

Then Ying Kaiyuan shouted, "Someone come."

"I'll say." Zhao Guanqun finally spoke.

"I know Jiao Guangxian." Zhao Guanqun said.

"Did you, Jiao Guangxian and Jie Ren plan the assassination of the prince?" Ying Kaiyuan asked.

Zhao Guanqun sighed and nodded.

"Take the man away." Ying Kaiyuan ordered.

Then two officers came and took Zhao Guanqun away and locked him up in a cell.

Ying Kaiyuan himself hurriedly brought the files from the Ministry of Justice to the palace to meet the emperor.

Ying Kaiyuan entered the side hall of Qianqi Palace. The emperor was sitting on the couch as usual, with a pile of memorials on the small square table beside him.

His Majesty is writing with a brush.

When Ying Kaiyuan entered the palace, the emperor stopped writing and asked, "How is the trial of the prince's assassination going?"

Ying Kaiyuan bowed to the emperor and then replied, "I have checked it out. Here is the file. You can take a look."

The chief eunuch beside the emperor stepped forward, took the file, and respectfully bowed his head to present it to the emperor.

The emperor glanced through the files and said, "So that's it!"

Ying Kaiyuan said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this matter concerns the crown prince. It is a serious matter. These two eunuchs must have been instigated by someone."

At this time, people from the Ministry of Justice had already spread the results of Ying Kaiyuan's interrogation, causing an uproar in the court.

Concubine Wan had also heard the news in the Qionghua Palace. She also heard the palace maids in the main hall of the Qionghua Palace say that Ying Kaiyuan was with the emperor.

Oh no, what should I do this time?

This Zhao Qian is really useless. He couldn't even kill a person and even got himself killed.

That would be fine, but now I'm afraid I'm going to drag myself into the water.

Concubine Wan thought again and again and decided to face it calmly. She left the Qionghua Palace, sat in a sedan chair, and went straight to the Qianqi Palace.

After Concubine Wan got off the sedan chair, she said to the eunuch outside the Qianqi Palace as usual: "I want to see His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will go in and pass the message." said the young eunuch, and then he walked towards the side hall.

Soon, the young eunuch came out of the hall.

"Your Highness, the Emperor wants you to come in. Please follow me." The eunuch said. After that, the eunuch led the way in front of Concubine Wan.

The young eunuch opened the curtain for Concubine Wan, and she entered the side hall.

Ying Kaiyuan just happened to come out and the two passed each other.

When Concubine Wan entered, she bowed and greeted the emperor, then she stepped forward and cried with tears on her face.

"What's wrong with you?" asked the emperor.

Concubine Wan said nothing, but just cried.

The emperor could not bear to hear Concubine Wan crying, he felt extremely distressed.

The emperor took out a handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to her. "Okay, stop crying. Just tell me what you want to say."

Concubine Wan took a handkerchief and wiped her tears. Then she sobbed and said slowly, "Your Majesty, I just loved my son so much and believed in Li Ren's slander. That's why I was confused for a moment."

"Wuwu, Your Majesty, please forgive me this time, I beg you." Concubine Wan knelt on the ground and begged in a sad voice.

The emperor helped her up, sighed softly, and said, "My beloved concubine, it's not that I don't want to forgive you, but I'm afraid that now that the news has spread, there will be some trouble."

"However, if he can forgive you, everything will be easy." The emperor continued.

So the emperor sent someone to summon the prince.

After the prince entered the side hall, he bowed and greeted the emperor. He saw Concubine Wan sitting on the other side of the couch with tears on her face, and he knew what was going on.

Concubine Wan knelt on the ground again in front of the prince, crying and saying, "Please forgive me this time, my lord. I just believed the slander and was confused for a moment. Please."

The emperor looked very embarrassed and said, "This matter has caused a stir in the court and the country. How can I make the decision? You should go and ask the crown prince yourself."

The Crown Prince saw this scene and understood what the Emperor meant, so he had to smooth things over, saying, "Everyone is a saint, and everyone makes mistakes. This matter can be closed as long as Zhao Qian is held responsible, and it would be better not to implicate other people."

Upon hearing this, His Majesty's eyebrows relaxed immediately, and he smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness is very sensible. What a good thing to say."

"Let's do it this way." said the emperor.

He waved his hand and let the prince leave.

The assassination case was hastily concluded with Zhao Qian being sentenced to death.

On the other side, in Prince Jing's Mansion, Liu Yuefu and Wei Suxin were sitting in a pavilion in the back garden of the palace and talking.

"Yue Fu, I never thought that the case of the prince's assassination would be closed so hastily." Wei Suxin said.

"Concubine Wan is now the apple of the emperor's eye. This was the case with the last witchcraft case and this time's assassination of the crown prince. The emperor is doing his best to protect her." Liu Yuefu said.

"But... Concubine Wan is now on Kang Miaoqing's side." Wei Suxin said.

"In this case, even if we get evidence that can prove their guilt, will Concubine Wan cry and make a fuss, and the matter will be covered up by the emperor?" Wei Suxin said with some concern.

"Your worries are not without reason. So aren't we starting with Li Jianzhang? He is just a dog of Concubine Wan now. If the dog dies, we can just replace it with another one. She won't be willing to take risks for him." Liu Yuefu said.

"By the way, have you made any progress in your investigation recently?" Liu Yuefu asked.
