After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart
Chapter 416 I didn’t expect you to have such a wolfish ambition
Zhang Zhong and Duan Xu entered the palace early in the morning. In the Qinzheng Hall, the emperor rubbed his eyebrows with a gloomy expression.
"Did Dian really say that?"
Duan Xu nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. Dian and her second daughter confessed it themselves. Wang Qing had no choice but to confess, and he has signed his confession."
As he spoke, he handed over the signed confession.
Zhang Zhong said, "Your Majesty, this matter concerns His Royal Highness Prince Jing. I dare not make a decision on my own, so I came with Lord Duan to ask for your instructions."
The emperor slammed the table heavily, "Rebellious son! I always thought he knew his limits and how to advance and retreat, but I didn't expect that he would want to reach out to the court!"
Duan Xu hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Now, should we consult His Royal Highness Prince Jing for confirmation? Please give your instructions."
The emperor frowned and thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "You go back first, I will see King Jing first."

Lu Ming came to Cuiyun Tower early in the morning to buy breakfast for King Jing. However, as soon as he arrived, he felt that the shopkeeper looked at him with a strange look.
There is inquiry in the look and vigilance in the gaze.
After asking him what he wanted to buy, the shopkeeper asked the waiter to get breakfast for Lu Ming and turned his eyes away from him.
Lu Ming just felt that the teahouse was particularly noisy today, and the people who came to eat were whispering to each other.
He also listened attentively.
"Have you heard that Wang Qing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, framed Lord Jiang at the behest of King Jing?"
"What! Tell me!"
"I heard that the Wang family confessed after the Dali Temple interrogated them."
"No wonder a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue dares to frame the Minister of Revenue!"
……
His heart tightened and his whole body felt cold.
He picked up the food box handed to him by the waiter and rode back to the palace at full speed to tell King Jing what he had heard.
Xiao Changan frowned instantly, and his carefree demeanor disappeared. "What did you say?!"
Lu Ming knelt down and said, "Master, it's true. People outside are saying that you ordered Wang Qing to do it."
"Snapped"
Xiao Changan raised his hand and swept it, and the teacup on the table instantly fell to the ground and shattered. His usually gentle face was terribly gloomy, and the knuckles of his hand holding the corner of the table turned white.
"Master, how could the Dali Temple spread this matter?" Lu Ming raised his head, looked at Xiao Changan cautiously, and asked tentatively: "Didn't Prince Su take action?"
Xiao Changan's face was cold, he was unsure.
Is it really possible to trap Xiao Yu with the Spirit Fire Grass and make him work for his own purposes?
Xiao Changan suddenly remembered what Xiao Yu said. Xiao Yu didn't let him touch Su Lingyue, but now his affairs have spread all over the streets and alleys.
Xiao Yu broke the agreement!
Xiao Changan went to the study with a gloomy face and wrote a letter, then handed it to Lu Ming, "Send the letter to the Princess of Su, through the main gate."
Looking at Xiao Changan's cold eyes, Lu Ming did not dare to delay for a moment and rode his horse straight to Prince Su's Mansion.
When the letter arrived, Yun Ting was practicing sword in the yard in black clothes. Yan Qing and Lin Chuan were not there, and the yard was particularly quiet with only the whistling sound of the long sword.
Seeing the letter in the servant's hand, Yun Ting stopped and threw the sword accurately into the scabbard on the stone table.
The servant next to him was stunned with surprise, even acrobatics were not performed like this.
Without bothering to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Yun Ting took the letter and unfolded it.
Although Yun Ting never showed any expression, the servant always felt that Yun Ting's eyes were particularly cold.
Without saying anything more, Yun Ting went into the house to write a reply. Soon he handed the letter to the servant and said, "Give it to him directly, no need to say anything more."
After Yun Ting gave the letter to the servant, he stopped on his way back to the house and turned to walk out of the yard.
The gate of Furong Pavilion was open, and Luzhu was directing two servants to sweep the outer courtyard. Seeing Yunting coming, Luzhu bowed and saluted.
"Where's the princess?" he asked.
Lu Zhu replied, "The princess hasn't gotten up yet, Cai Die is watching."
After replying, Luzhu noticed the sweat on Yunting's forehead and his thin suit, and was stunned for a moment.
Yunting was born handsome, with a slender figure, broad shoulders and narrow waist, like a pine crane in the snow, which made Luzhu's cheeks slightly red.
Noticing Luzhu's strange behavior, Yunting glanced at himself, realized that he had been impulsive and impolite, and immediately turned around and left Furong Pavilion.
Xiao Changan took the letter and opened it. There were only five words: "wait" and "take advantage of the enemy's strategy".
He frowned and asked Lu Ming: "Anything else you want to say?"
Lu Ming said: "My Lord, the letter was handed to me by the servant, and it didn't say anything."
The letter in his hand was wrinkled, Xiao Changan frowned in thought, and when his joints turned pale to the extreme, he suddenly relaxed.
Now that things have come to this, it would be futile to do anything, so it would be better to trust Xiao Yu once. If he is convicted for this, then he will drag Xiao Yu to death with him.
He wanted to see how Xiao Yu would turn the tide and help him turn the situation around in this desperate situation if he wanted to help him.
The oral order to summon Xiao Chang'an to the palace soon arrived at Prince Jing's mansion.
With Xiao Yu's letter, Xiao Changan calmly followed the eunuch to the Qinzheng Hall.
After kneeling down and paying his respects, the emperor stared at him coldly, his hawk-like sharp eyes seemed to see through him.
Xiao Changan was nervous for a moment, but soon regained his composure, "I wonder why the emperor summoned me here?"
The emperor threw the confession on the table in front of Xiao Changan and said in a deep voice: "I have always trusted you, but I didn't expect you to have such evil intentions!"
Xiao Changan picked up the book on the ground and scanned it carefully. After reading it, he immediately bowed and said, "Father, I am innocent. I have never done any of these things."
The emperor glared at him, "Unfair! Wang Qing explained the time, place, and conversation with you clearly. How could he wrongly accuse you!"
Xiao Changan knocked his head to the ground, "Father, I did meet with Wang Qing, but not for what he said. He was asking me about the injustice done to Lord Jiang. I was the one who dealt with the flood in Jiangnan. Wang Qing wanted to ask me if I had seen any unusual people or things when I was dealing with the flood, as well as some details of my flood control. He didn't say anything else."
"I hope your Majesty will see clearly and give justice to your son." Xiao Changan said righteously.
When he met Wang Qing, he was cautious and met in a private room of Zuixianju. There were no servants in the room.
Therefore, the decision lies with the emperor, and it is up to him whether to believe it or not.
Seeing Xiao Changan's excuses, the emperor angrily threw another confession at Xiao Changan, "Wang Qing's second daughter also confessed that she entered your mansion many times in the hope of catching your eye so that you would protect Wang Qing. How can you explain it!"
Xiao Changan picked up the confession that had fallen to the side and took a quick look at it. He then lowered his head and kowtowed, saying, "Father, she did go to my mansion. It was my fault..."
As if it was difficult to start, Xiao Changan hesitated for a moment and continued to explain: "This son has seen the second daughter several times and thinks she is beautiful. Once when we met by chance in Zuixianju, the second daughter showed her good intentions and this son did not refuse. Please believe me, father. If I knew that Wang Qing was involved in Lord Jiang's case, this son would never be greedy for beauty."
He spoke sincerely, with great sorrow and regret.
The emperor asked with scrutiny, "Are you just after beauty? Are you not after the support of the Ministry of Revenue? I heard that you once wanted to marry Jiang Fu's daughter?"
Xiao Changan's momentum weakened a bit, "Father, Miss Jiang is innocent and naive, and I really like her, but the Jiang family is not interested, and I also know that a forced melon will not be sweet. I..."
"Asshole!" the emperor shouted angrily, and with a wave of his hand, the inkstone hit Xiao Changan's head firmly. "There are so many children of ministers in the court, why do you have to fall in love with the daughter of an official in the Ministry of Revenue!"
After saying this, the emperor discovered that Xiao Chang'an, who was kneeling on the ground, was bleeding from his head. He pressed the wound on his forehead with one hand, and blood kept flowing from between his fingers, dyeing Xiao Chang'an's palm red.
The emperor looked at his son kneeling on the ground, feeling somewhat confused and reluctant.
However, his desire for exclusive power still overcomes family affection. He can give power, but others cannot take it away, not even his own son.
The emperor said in a cold voice: "Liu Fang, send King Jing to the Dali Temple and let the Dali Temple conduct a thorough trial. Until he is willing to tell the truth!"
Xiao Chang'an knelt on the ground, covering his head with his hands, feeling extremely regretful. He shouldn't have listened to Xiao Yu. Judging from his father's attitude, he was doomed.
If he couldn't escape, Xiao Yu would also die. He hid the Linghuo Grass in a place where no one could find it.
Liu Fang came in and, together with two imperial guards, drove King Jing out of the Qinzheng Hall.
Before Xiao Changan lost consciousness, he heard Liu Fang say to his men, "Go to the Imperial Hospital to treat His Highness's injuries first."
