Lu Shian held her little face and kissed her gently, and agreed distressedly: "Okay, kill, I'll listen to you."

As long as it was what she said, he would do it without hesitation even if what happened today had not happened.

"Qiandai, you say... should I deal with Ye Beimo in this way?" Lu Shian asked tentatively.

Ye Qiandai frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at him and said, "This matter concerns two countries, and I dare not make a rash decision. Your Majesty, please think twice before acting."

Lu Shian stared at her, his tone was light but murderous, "If I want to kill him, will you agree?"

Ye Qiandai immediately bowed her head and pleaded, "Ye Beimo is a wolf with evil ambitions, please strangle him immediately!"

Lu Shian embraced her with relief, "I feel relieved with your words."

He was relieved, he was sure that his baby was on his side. Her identity after rebirth did not create a bond between them.

“He must be killed, but not now, because in the letter, Ye Baijiang only said that he wanted to surrender to Ye Beimo and Zhu Jingguo, but did not mention that Ye Beimo was involved in this matter, so this letter cannot be considered as evidence.

"If I hang a foreign prince without evidence, I will be criticized by others, and then even if I am right, I will be wrong."

Evidence? Ye Qiandai narrowed her eyes and thought secretly in her heart.

While the two were talking, the servants brought over Ye Baijiang, who was still confused. Empress Dowager Ye Feiyan and Mu Zhengrong and Ye Yuqing followed closely behind him with panicked looks.

"Your Majesty!" Ye Baijiang knelt on the ground with a plop and asked Lu Shian angrily, "Why is this happening? Since the last incident, I have been doing my duty and not caring about worldly affairs. I don't know why I have angered Your Majesty again?"

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Your uncle is living out his days in my palace, why did you ask someone to arrest him?" Ye Feiyan asked angrily.

Lu Shian ignored her and threw the letter directly at Ye Baijiang, and asked coldly: "Is this enough for me to have someone arrest you?"

Ye Baijiang took the letter with trembling hands. He was shocked at the first glance. For a moment, he felt as if struck by lightning. He was so scared that he fell to the ground.

His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were filled with overwhelming fear and despair!

"What...what is this? Why is brother so scared?" Seeing him like this, Ye Feiyan was also a little panicked. She bent down to pick up the letter paper that fell on the ground, and moved it to her eyes to look at it carefully.

As her eyes moved, they gradually widened, first showing shock, then disbelief, then anger, doubt, and despair...

Unconsciously, the letter slipped from her hands again. Her red eyes formed a sharp contrast with her pale face.

She couldn't believe her eyes, she suspected that everything she saw was just a dream.

Her own brother actually wanted to ally with foreign countries and prepare for rebellion; to seize her family's kingdom; to pull her son off the throne.

Be prepared to let them die without a burial place one day!

Oh my God! This is her biological brother from her mother's side. When everyone was targeting him and making things difficult for him, she would rather break up with her own son to protect him, but he...

"What happened?" Ye Yuqing and Mu Zhengrong were also anxious. One stepped forward to support the staggering Ye Feiyan, while the other went to pick up the letter paper on the ground.

As expected, Ye Yuqing's face changed drastically after reading the letter. She shouted in disbelief, "No, this is not true! Your Majesty, someone framed my father. My father could not possibly rebel!"

Lu Shian looked at her coldly and said, "Why, you can't even recognize your own father's handwriting? If you can't recognize it, then your mother should be able to recognize who wrote it, right?"

Ye Feiyan collapsed in despair, and frantically yelled at Ye Baijiang who was sitting on the ground: "Why? Brother, I am your biological sister! I treat you so well, how could you have the heart to betray me?"

Ye Baijiang seemed to have just come to his senses after being yelled at by her. He knelt down in panic and kowtowed desperately to Lu Shian.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I was wrong! I know I was wrong! I was foolish. I shouldn’t have listened to Ye Beimo’s slander and shouldn’t have thought of rebellion.

"I beg Your Majesty to forgive me this time. I really know I was wrong!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed to him with all his strength. Muffled sounds continued to be heard, and soon the ground was stained with blood.

"Brother, you disappoint me so much." Ye Feiyan was so heartbroken that she couldn't help crying.

I have admitted it myself. Ye Yuqing was also desperate. He knelt on the ground with Mu Zhengrong and begged for mercy in horror: "Your Majesty, please have mercy! He knows he was wrong. He was also bewitched by the traitor and did not intend to betray Your Majesty!"

Lu Shian was furious, and said in a low voice with a frown, "It was not intentional? The first time he secretly hid the city defense map, you said he was framed, I spared his death for the sake of my mother.

"Now someone has intercepted his handwritten letter that he was sending out of the palace. Every word in it says that he is treasonous and collaborating with the enemy. You actually want me to forgive him!

"What do you think of me? I am the emperor! How can I convince my subjects if I spare him?"

Ye Yuqing and Mu Zhengrong were speechless after being scolded by him. They dared not to offend the emperor again, so they simply turned their target to Ye Feiyan, knelt down beside her legs and begged at the top of their lungs.

"Aunt Queen Mother, my father is your biological brother, you can't just ignore him, please save my father, Aunt Queen Mother!"

Ye Feiyan's body was shaking. She looked at Lu Shian with tears in her eyes. She opened her lips several times but couldn't say a word.

If my brother was wronged last time, then this handwritten letter is ironclad evidence without a trace of adulteration.

Collaborating with the enemy and treason is a serious crime that will punish all nine generations of your clan!

The last time she cried and made a scene, the emperor had already set a precedent. Now that her brother had done it again, how could she beg for mercy again?

"Your Majesty," a man who looked like a guard walked in from outside the door, knelt on the ground and reported to Lu Shian.

"Your Majesty, the Dali Temple has sent a message that the case of you and the Imperial Concubine being assassinated on the Lantern Festival has been investigated. The mastermind behind it is Ye Baijiang. The witnesses and evidence will be sent to you soon."

"Boom!" These words were like adding fuel to the fire, burning the hopes of Ye Baijiang and others to ashes.

Even though he had guessed it long ago, after hearing this fact with his own ears, Lu Shian still couldn't help but get furious.

With a fierce swing of his long arm, he swept all the tea sets on the table to the ground, and his face was as black as if it had just been soaked in ink.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" The sounds of kowtows and exclamations followed, shocking.

Ye Baijiang's face was pale, he was so frightened that he became numb, he sat on the ground with his eyes wide open, his whole body shaking like a sieve.

"Your Majesty..." Ye Feiyan seemed to want to say something, but her voice was shaking so much that she couldn't form a complete sentence. She just kept shaking her head, trying to explain herself.

Lu Shian cast a sharp gaze at her and asked word by word, "Mother, you don't know that Ye Baijiang hired a killer to kill Qian Dai, right?"

"I...I..." Ye Feiyan felt dizzy and would have collapsed to the ground if her servants hadn't supported her.

It’s over. This matter has been exposed. It’s over…

Of course, how could she admit it? Her relationship with the emperor was getting worse and worse. If she admitted to participating in the assassination of Ye Qiandai, the emperor would probably cut off all ties with her.
