The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

Shangguan Haitong turned around and asked, "What is your purpose in deliberately framing me? How could the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion do such a sinister thing? It must be you, a restless servant, who killed someone and wanted to escape the blame. I have no grudge against you, why are you tying me up with you?"

The servant kowtowed in shock: "No, I didn't. My Lord, I didn't kill anyone. I really didn't."

At this point in the trial, Lord Wan's mind was as clear as a mirror.

He slammed the gavel: "If it's not you, then who is it? Tell me!"

Shangguan Haitong lowered her eyes. The backers behind Lord Wan were the Wang family and the Crown Princess.

It's understandable that he wanted to use this opportunity to cause some trouble for the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, but it's a pity that he was too hasty.

"Lord Zhao is here." A middle-aged man walked past the crowd and came to the court. It was Lord Zhao of Zuo Fengyi.

The third prince stood behind this person.

Who wouldn’t want this rare handle on the Yong’an Marquis’ Mansion?

Lord Zhao smiled and bowed: "Oh, Lord Wan. I am just passing by the trial. I hope I am not disturbing you?"

The two men held equal official positions.

Lord Wan politely stood up and bowed, "Lord Zhao, what a rare guest."

Lord Zhao lowered his head and looked at the kneeling servant below: "In my opinion, there are still many doubts in this case. Why not detain this person and re-examine him later? Since the girl from the Shangguan Mansion has been wrongly accused, she should be released in court. Come, take the suspect away."

Lord Wan has no objection.

Even if we have to share the responsibility in the end, it is better than losing it.

"Wait." A steady voice came, and Li Shanqi and Li Zongyun walked out from the gate of the yamen.

They stood in court.

Li Zongyun bowed to the two adults and said, "I am really sorry that you two have troubled me with a small matter in the palace."

Lord Wan and Lord Zhao came down and greeted him together: "Greetings, Lord Marquis."

Li Shanqi glanced at the servant and said, "The ignorant servants in the mansion acted on their own initiative and did such a thing. It is really a disgrace to the mansion."

When the servant heard this, his eyes were filled with fear and his body trembled.

Shangguan Haitong could already foresee the outcome, and the chess piece that caused trouble should be destroyed.

Lord Wan raised his hand and invited, "My Lord, please take a seat."

Li Shanqi nodded, but he had just taken two steps when the servant resolutely bit his tongue and committed suicide.

Lord Zhao was shocked: "Stop him! Don't let him die, quickly carry him down and call the doctor."

really.

Everything was as Shangguan Haitong expected. The best person to die in this situation would be Huazhi herself.

However, there were twists and turns.

Li Shihang had no choice but to find a corpse, hoping that the Marquis would come forward to put pressure on him.

Little did he know that his self-willed decision would put the Marquis' Mansion into a very unfavorable situation.

Not only did he not expect Shangguan Haitong to be familiar with Huazhi, he also did not expect what Lord Wan and Lord Zhao were thinking.

It is impossible to save a person who has made up his mind to die.

Li Shanqi concluded the incident: "He committed suicide in front of the two adults out of fear of punishment. I think he has regretted it."

Lord Wan and Lord Zhao could only respond awkwardly.

Shangguan Haitong bowed calmly and prepared to leave the court.

Li Zongyun suddenly spoke up: "I'm really sorry to trouble Miss Shangguan to make a special trip. But shouldn't you give the Marquis' Mansion an explanation for your behavior yesterday? You are in mourning, but you not only attended the flower-viewing banquet, but also injured someone..."

"Young Master, do you know where Huazhi is?" Shangguan Haitong looked up and said slowly.

Li Zongyun stopped talking and narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Miss Shangguan is familiar with the people around my seventh sister?"

Shangguan Haitong smiled and said, "Since the Marquis' Mansion doesn't know where she is, I don't know either. My mother is ill and needs my care. I have been delayed for a long time, and I should go back now. If you have any questions about the case, please come to the mansion to ask. I will take my leave first."

No one stopped her.

Li Shanqi had a bad feeling that the girl from the Shangguan family was too familiar with the Marquis' Mansion.

He didn't believe that Huazhi would disappear for no reason.

From the actions at the flower viewing banquet to the actions of the sixth and seventh brothers. And how much of today's court was in this woman's calculations?

How can she be sure that even if Huazhi disappears, Lao Liu will still carry out his plan at all costs?

Shangguan Haitong walked towards the gate of the government office. Because she was wearing a veil, no one could see the mocking smile on her lips.

"Girl." Huanshuang went up to her happily.

Nodding, Shangguan Haitong looked at the three young masters: "Master Wei, Your Majesty. Thank you very much."

"What are you thanking me for? We couldn't help in any way. But we did see a good show." Wei Yuyou raised his hand to invite him.

Shangguan Haitong nodded and got into the carriage.

She lifted the curtain and said, "Your Majesty, can you please get in? I have something to tell you."

Xie Qiuguang's whole body was resisting.

Wei Jingyan stretched out his hand and pushed him: "Why are you being so shy, man? Go ahead."

Being pushed to the front of the car, Xie Qiuguang had no choice but to get in.

The curtain was lowered and the carriage started slowly.

The Wei brothers watched the vehicle go away, looking satisfied as if they had helped their lovers to be together.

inside the car.

Shangguan Haitong took off her veil and asked, "Is your greatest wish to find out the cause of Concubine Shu's death?"

Xie Qiuguang turned around in disbelief: "How did you know that? The two brothers of the Wei family should not know."

"I guessed." Shangguan Haitong looked directly at the prince. "The news of her death came out suddenly, and it was so close to your birthday. Madam Shu Fei has always been in good health, and I haven't heard that she was ill. It stands to reason that she couldn't have died of a serious illness, unless there is some unspeakable secret."

The parties involved have the most say.

Even though Xie Qiuguan was only ten years old at the time, he felt that something was very wrong with the whole thing.

Cover up in a hurry, taboo is hard to speak of.

The truth is buried and lies are everywhere.

Shangguan Haitong sat upright and said, "I will help you find out the truth of the matter and repay your kindness for helping me."

Xie Qiuguang shook his head: "Ms. Shangguan, it's best not to get involved rashly. You don't know how difficult this matter is, how..."

"Your Highness suspects the Emperor, right?" Shangguan Haitong said bluntly.

With frowned eyebrows, Xie Qiuguang looked up at the beauty in front of him: "Miss Shangguan, please don't delve into the secrets of the royal family. I am alone and I am not afraid of life or death. Father can just chop me off. You have a family behind you, so there is no need to take a huge risk for a little favor."

Shangguan Haitong nodded: "I understand your Majesty's thoughts. No wonder you..."

In his previous life, he did not marry because he did not want to implicate others. At the most dangerous time, he led people into the palace to participate in the coup.

I wonder if the prince finally found out the truth. Who did Concubine Shu get in the way of?

Xie Qiuguang thought Shangguan Haitong had listened to his advice, so he stopped the carriage and got out.

The secret that had been buried deep in my heart for many years was unexpectedly revealed by a girl I only met a few times.

He understood Miss Shangguan's feelings, but he could not respond. Xie Qiuguang turned and left.

Shangguan Haitong lifted the car curtain and looked at the back figure, who was all alone. It seemed like the last time they saw each other in their previous life.

Now that she knew what the prince wanted, she would do her best to achieve it.

The gratitude for saving my life and the feeling of guilt. The debt I owed in my previous life must be repaid in this life.

Shangguan Haitong lowered the curtain and said, "Go back home."

The carriage set off and returned home.

Yong'an Houfu.

Li Shanqi angrily slapped Li Shihang in the face, "Stupid! You are so obviously framing others. Do you think others are fools? And you, you let a maid go without permission, which led to an unfavorable situation. Both of you go to the ancestral hall and kneel down!"
